Differential deposition of H2A.Z in rice seedling tissue during the day-night cycle.

ABSTRACT: Chromatin structure has an important role in modulating gene expression. The incorporation of histone variants into the nucleosome leads to important changes in the chromatin structure. The histone variant H2A.Z is highly conserved between different species of fungi, animals, and plants. However, dynamic changes to H2A.Z in rice have not been reported during the day-night cycle. In this study, we generated genome wide maps of H2A.Z for day and night time in harvested seedling tissues by combining chromatin immunoprecipitation and high-throughput sequencing. The analysis results for the H2A.Z data sets detected 7099 genes with higher depositions of H2A.Z in seedling tissues harvested at night compared with seedling tissues harvested during the day, whereas 4597 genes had higher H2A.Z depositions in seedlings harvested during the day. The gene expression profiles data suggested that H2A.Z probably negatively regulated gene expression during the day-night cycle and was involved in many important biologic processes. In general, our results indicated that H2A.Z may play an important role in plant responses to the diurnal oscillation process.

Project description:Plant growth and development occurs through meristematic cell activity, and cell fate transition is accompanied by epigenetic modifications. Callus with cell pluripotency exhibits the ability to undergo continued cell division, and is ideal for studying plant meristematic differentiation. By comparing the differential epigenetic modifications between callus and seedling, the changes in chromatin state and effects of various epigenetic modifications on the growth and development of plants can be revealed, and the key genes related to plant growth and development can be identified, providing novel insights into the regulation of plant growth and development. In this study, we performed ChIP assays using various antibodies in rice seed-induced callus and seedlings grown for about 15 days to examine the differential deposition of H3K27me3 and H3K4me3. Furthermore, data for DNase I-hypersensitive sites in the corresponding tissues were downloaded from National Center for Biotechnology Information. We analyzed 4,562 callus H3K27me3-decreased genes especially those encoding transcription factors in callus, and found that most of the transcription factors, including AP2-ERREBP, NAC, and HB gene families, were related to growth and development. Genes related to meristemization, such as OsWOX9, OsWOX11, OsPLT4, OsPLT5, and OsSHR, were also included. In contrast, H3K4me3 positively regulated callus characteristics through its higher deposition in the callus than in the seedling. We further performed transcriptomic analysis on 45 sets of Affymetrix GeneChip arrays and identified 1,565 genes preferentially expressed in the callus. Callus development and root development in rice were found to share a common regulatory mechanism. We found that these genes, which are associated with meristems, require the removal of H3K27me3 and the deposition of H3K4me3, and DNase I-hypersensitive sites to maintain a relatively active state in the callus than in the seedling. The present study provides novel data about the epigenetic mechanisms involved in callus formation and additional resources for the study of cell division and differentiation in plants.
