Genome-wide occupancy of histone H3K27 methyltransferases CURLY LEAF and SWINGER in Arabidopsis seedlings

ABSTRACT: The Polycomb Group (PcG) proteins form two protein complexes, PcG Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1) and PRC2, which are key epigenetic regulators in eukaryotes. PRC2 represses gene expression by catalyzing the trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3). In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), CURLY LEAF (CLF) and SWINGER (SWN) are two major H3K27 methyltransferases and core components of PRC2, playing essential roles in plant growth and development. Despite their importance, genome-wide binding profiles of CLF and SWN have not been determined and compared yet. In this study, we generated transgenic lines expressing GFP-tagged CLF/SWN under their respective native promoters and used them for ChIP-seq analyses to profile the genome-wide distributions of CLF and SWN in Arabidopsis seedlings. We also profiled and compared the global H3K27me3 levels in wild-type (WT) and PcG mutants (clf, swn, and clf swn). Our data show that CLF and SWN bind to almost the same set of genes, except that SWN has a few hundred more targets. Two short DNA sequences, the GAGA-like and Telo-box-like motifs, were found enriched in the CLF and SWN binding regions. The H3K27me3 levels in clf, but not in swn, were markedly reduced compared with WT; and the mark was undetectable in the clf swn double mutant. Further, we profiled the transcriptomes in clf, swn, and clf swn, and compared with that in WT. Thus this work provides a useful resource for the plant epigenetics community for dissecting the functions of PRC2 in plant growth and development.

The Transcriptional Repressors VAL1 and VAL2 Recruit PRC2 for Genome-wide Polycomb Silencing in Arabidopsis

Project description:The Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) catalyzes histone H3 Lys27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) to repress gene transcription in multicellular eukaryotes. Despite its importance in gene silencing and cellular differentiation, how PRC2 is recruited to target loci is still not fully understood. Here, we report genome-wide evidence for the recruitment of PRC2 by the transcriptional repressors VIVIPAROUS1/ABI3-LIKE1 (VAL1) and VAL2 in Arabidopsis thaliana. We show that the val1 val2 double mutant possesses somatic embryonic phenotypes and a transcriptome strikingly similar to those of the swn clf double mutant, which lacks the PRC2 catalytic subunits SWINGER (SWN) and CURLY LEAF (CLF). We further show that VAL1 and VAL2 physically interact with SWN and CLF in vivo. Genome-wide binding profiling demonstrated that they colocalize with SWN and CLF at PRC2 target loci. Loss of VAL1 and VAL2 significantly reduces SWN and CLF enrichment at PRC2 target loci and leads to a genome-wide redistribution of H3K27me3 that strongly affects transcription. Finally, we provide evidence that the VAL1/VAL2–RY regulatory system is largely independent of the TRB–Telobox and BPC1–GA/AZF1–Telobox modules for Polycomb silencing in plants. Taken together, our work demonstrates an extensive genome-wide interaction between VAL1/2 and PRC2 and provides mechanistic insights into the establishment of Polycomb silencing in plants.

Arabidopsis Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 binding sites contain putative GAGA factor binding motifs within coding regions of genes

Project description:Background. Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) is an essential regulator of gene expression that maintains genes in a repressed state by marking chromatin with trimethylated Histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3). In Arabidopsis, loss of PRC2 function leads to pleiotropic effects on growth and development thought to be due to ectopic expression of seed and embryo-specific genes. While there is some understanding of the mechanisms by which specific genes are targeted by PRC2 in animal systems, it is still not clear how PRC2 is recruited to specific regions of plant genomes.Results. We used ChIP-seq to determine the genome-wide distribution of hemagglutinin (HA)-tagged FERTLIZATION INDEPENDENT ENDOSPERM (FIE-HA), the Extra Sex Combs homolog protein present in all Arabidopsis PRC2 complexes. We found that the FIE-HA binding sites co-locate with a subset of the H3K27me3 sites in the genome and the associated genes were more likely to be de-repressed in mutants of PRC2 components. The FIE-HA binding sites are enriched for three sequence motifs including a putative GAGA factor binding site that is also found in Drosophila Polycomb Response Elements (PREs).Conclusions. Our results suggest that PRC2 binding sites in plant genomes share some sequence features with Drosophila PREs. However, RNA was extracted from intermediate phenotype siFIE plants, clf-7 swn-28 and Col using Qiagen Plant RNeasy mini kit. For each sample, three pools of 10-12 plants were used. The siFIE plants were analysed for FIE mRNA by RT-qPCR; the maximum level of FIE mRNA was found to be 10% of wildtype.

Arabidopsis Flower and Embryo Developmental Genes are Repressed in Seedlings by Different Combinations of Polycomb Group Proteins in Association with Distinct Sets of Cis-regulatory Elements

Project description:Polycomb Group Proteins (PcGs) is critical in defining the epigeneticÂ blueprintÂ for animal and plant development. In plants, loss of different PcGs display both common and unique phenotypic defects, yet little is known about how these are established. Here, based on quantitative comparison of epigenomics data from mutants of key PcG components in Arabidopsis seedlings, we found that the PcG partners of CURLY LEAF (CLF), one of the major plant H3K27 trimethyltransferases, determines its selectivity in repressing gene loci involved in distinct developmental programs. The non-redundant role of CLF in determining flower development is specifically associated with HETEROCHROMATIN PROTEIN1 (LHP1). This context dependent effect of CLF corresponds well with tissue-biased target gene expression, and importantly, to differential co-occupancy of transcription factors, such as MADS box and B3-domain transcription factors. These results provide valuable insight as to the dynamic interplay between different PcGs and their collaborative control of plant development. To compare the effect of different PcGs on epigenetic structure from the genome-wide scale, we used chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughtput sequencing (ChIP-seq) to characterize the genome-wide binding profile of H3K27me3 in Col, clf-29, tfl2-2, atbmi1a/b and atring1a/b ; To investigate the functional consequence of the distinct H3K27me3 profile controlled by different combinations of PcGs, we characterized the transcriptome change in PcG mutants, including Col, clf-29, tfl2-2, lhp1-6, atbmi1a/b, atring1a/b, and clf29swn21.

H3K27 tri-methyltransferases CLF and SWN redundantly buffer ABA-induced senescence

Project description:The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) induces senescence and facilitates nutrient reuse, which are essential for increasing stress tolerance. Senescence controls plant aging and is closely associated with crop yield and quality. It is a complicated process finely tuned by multiple layers of control. A significant proportion of ABA-responsive genes and cis-elements are targeted by H3K27me3 modification that is mediated by Polycomb group proteins (PcGs); however, the interplay between the major epigenetic machinery and the central stress hormone is poorly understood. Both pathways influence the transcription of thousands of genes, and the dynamic and quantitative epigenomic and transcriptomic changes cannot be characterized with high confidence. This issue is further complicated by the redundant roles of PcG components. This article revealed an intriguing mechanism of the interplay between ABA and PcG in regulating plant senescence, based on the integration of genetic evidence and quantitative comparison of epigenomic data derived from a purpose-developed computational model. We observed that >30% of ABA-induced genes are up-regulated in a double mutant of H3K27me3 methyltransferases CLF and SWN; and the double mutant, but not single-gene mutants, is hyper-sensitive to ABA treatment. Importantly, ABA-triggered H3K27me3 reduction preferentially occurred in regions around senescence-associated genes (SAGs), which are redundantly repressed by CLF and SWN in normal conditions. Furthermore, we revealed that the presence of H3K27me3 surrounding SAGs does not block ABA-induced SAG expression, but rather limits the extent of the induction, thereby preventing an over-sensitive response within a dynamic environment. These findings may serve as a paradigm for the crosstalk between the rapid-effect of phytohormone and the long-term effect of epigenetic machinery in regulating plant environmental responses through modulations of the senescence process.

The domesticated transposase ALP2 mediates formation of a novel Polycomb protein complex by direct interaction with MSI1, a core subunit of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2)

Project description:A large fraction of plant genomes is composed of transposable elements (TE), which provide a potential source of novel genes through “domestication” – the process whereby the proteins encoded by TE diverge in sequence, lose their ability to catalyse transposition and instead acquire novel functions for their hosts. In Arabidopsis, ANTAGONIST OF LIKE HETEROCHROMATIN PROTEIN 1 (ALP1) arose by domestication of the nuclease component of Harbinger class TE and acquired a new function as a component of POLYCOMB REPRESSIVE COMPLEX 2 (PRC2), a histone H3K27me3 methyltransferase involved in regulation of host genes and in some cases TE. It was not clear how ALP1 associated with PRC2, nor what the functional consequence was. Here, we identify ALP2 genetically as a suppressor of Polycomb-group (PcG) mutant phenotypes and show that it arose from the second, DNA binding component of Harbinger transposases. Molecular analysis of PcG compromised backgrounds reveals that ALP genes oppose silencing and H3K27me3 deposition at key PcG target genes. Proteomic analysis reveals that ALP1 and ALP2 are components of a variant PRC2 complex that contains the four core components but lacks plant-specific accessory components such as the H3K27me3 reader LIKE HETEROCHROMATION PROTEIN 1 (LHP1). We show that the N-terminus of ALP2 interacts directly with ALP1, whereas the C-terminus of ALP2 interacts with MULTICOPY SUPPRESSOR OF IRA1 (MSI1), a core component of PRC2. Proteomic analysis reveals that in alp2 mutant backgrounds ALP1 protein no longer associates with PRC2, consistent with a role for ALP2 in recruitment of ALP1. We suggest that the propensity of Harbinger TE to insert in gene-rich regions of the genome, together with the modular two component nature of their transposases, has predisposed them for domestication and incorporation into chromatin modifying complexes.
