Project description:The eukaryotic genome is divided into regions of heterochromatin and euchromatin. The histone variant H2A.Z specifically localizes at euchromatin and displays a genome-wide anti-correlation with DNA methylation. DNA methylation plays a central role in the epigenetic regulation of many eukaryotic genomes. Active DNA demethylation is critical for controlling the epigenome in plants and mammals. Yet, little is known about how DNA demethylases are recruited to target loci. Here we report that SWR1, a conserved histone H2A.Z deposition complex, regulates DNA demethylation in Arabidopsis thaliana by recruiting the plant DNA demethylase ROS1. A forward genetic screen for anti-silencing mutants identified two SWR1 components, PIE1 and ARP6, as cellular factors required for ROS1-mediated DNA demethylation. We further discovered two bromodomain-containing proteins, the methyl-DNA-binding protein AtMBD9, and NPX1, a plant homolog of ScBDF1 in yeast, as components of the SWR1 complex in Arabidopsis. AtMBD9 and NPX1 function redundantly in preventing DNA hypermethylation and transcriptional gene silencing by recognizing histone acetylation marks established by IDM1, a known regulator of DNA demethylation. We show that IDM1 is required for H2A.Z deposition in many genomic regions targeted for active DNA demethylation. We found that H2A.Z interacts with ROS1 and is required for locus-specific DNA demethylation and antisilencing. Our results reveal a role of H2A.Z in active DNA demethylation, and a mechanism through which DNA demethylases can be recruited to target regions by specific histone acetylation marks.

Project description:DNA methylation is an important epigenetic modification involved in many biological processes, and active DNA demethylation plays critical roles in regulating expression of genes and anti-silencing of transgenes. In this study, we isolated mutations in one arabidopsis gene, ROS5, which causes the silencing of transgenic 35S-NPTII because of DNA hypermethylation, but no effect on transgenic RD29A-LUC. ROS5 encodes an atypical small heat shock protein. ROS5 can physically interact with IDM1 and is required for preventing DNA hypermethylation of some endogenous genes that are also regualated by IDM1 and ROS1. We propose that ROS5 may regulate active DNA demethylation by interacting with IDM1, thereby creating a friendly chromatin environment that facilitates the binding of ROS1 to erase DNA methylation.

Project description:In eukaryotes, heterochromatin is characterized by numerous epigenetic marks, including DNA methylation. Spreading of these marks into nearby active genes must be avoided in order to maintain appropriate gene expression. Here, we uncover Arabidopsis Methyl-CpG-Binding Domain 7 (MBD7) and Increased DNA Methylation 3 (IDM3) as anti-silencing factors that prevent transgene repression and genome-wide DNA hypermethylation. MBD7 preferentially binds to highly methylated, CG-dense regions associated with non-CG methylation and physically associates with other anti-silencing factors, including the histone acetyltransferase IDM1, IDM2, and IDM3. IDM1 and IDM2 were previously shown to facilitate active DNA demethylation by the 5-methylcytosine DNA glycosylase/lyase ROS1. Thus, MBD7 tethers the IDM proteins to methylated DNA, which enables the function of DNA demethylases that in turn establish chromatin boundaries and limit DNA methylation Using MethylC-Seq to provide single-base resolution of DNA methylation status in WT and idm3-1, mbd7-1 mutants Whole genome methylation maps of mbd7-1, idm3-1 and WT (all three are from 35S-SUC transgene background) were generated using BS-seq

Project description:Deposition of histone variant H2A.Z by the SWR1 chromatin-remodeling complex is critical for the appropriate expression of many genes in eukaryotes, yet, despite its importance, the composition of the Arabidopsis SWR1 complex has not been thoroughly analyzed. Here we have identified the interacting partners of a conserved Arabidopsis SWR1 subunit, actin-related protein 6 (ARP6). We isolated 9 predicted components, identifying subunits implicated in histone acetylation and interacting partners implicated in chromatin biology. We found that the methyl-CpG-binding domain 9 (MBD9) subunit functioned synergistically with ARP6 to control flowering time. MBD9, in combination with ARP6, was involved in the SWR1-mediated incorporation of the majority of H2A.Z. MBD6 was further required for deposition of H2A.Z at a distinct subset of loci. MBD9 was preferentially bound to nucleosome-depleted regions at the 5’ of genes containing high levels of activating histone marks. Our data suggests a model for MBD9 in recruiting the SWR1 complex to open chromatin of actively transcribing genes.
