Project description:A case of transcriptional gene silencing, originally observed in tetraploid Arabidopsis plants, created an epiallele resistant to many mutations or inhibitor treatments that activate other suppressed genes. This raised the question about the molecular basis of this extreme stability. A combination of forward and reverse genetics, transcriptome profiling and drug application provides evidence for a double safeguard system that is only alleviated upon the simultaneous removal of both DNA methylation and histone methylation by loss of DDM1 or HOG1 acitivity. Three biological replicates per line are provided. C2S1 = Wt line; hog1-7=774; ddm1-12=1135

Project description:Analysis of copy number variation in evolved haploid, diploid, tetraploid strains. All experimental samples were compared to the same reference strain S288C. The samples include the progenitor strains for the haploid, diploid, and tetraploid evolution experiments, and single colony isolates (clones) from the evolving populations at given time points. Evolved clones were analyzed at generation 250 unless the name is followed by gen35, gen55 or gen500, in which case those generations were analyzed.

Project description:Methylation of histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9me) and small RNA are associated with constitutively silent chromatin in diverse eukaryotes including plants. In plants, silent transposons are also marked by cytosine methylation, especially at non-CpG sites. The transposon-specific non-CpG methylation in plants is controlled by small RNA and H3K9me. Although it is often assumed that small RNA directs H3K9me, interaction between small RNA and H3K9me has not been directly shown in plants. We have previously shown that a mutation in a chromatin remodeling gene DDM1 (decrease in DNA methylation) induces a global decrease as well as local increase of cytosine methylation and accumulation of small RNA in a locus called BONSAI. Here we show that the de novo BONSAI methylation does not depend on RNAi but depends on H3K9me. Notably, in mutant of H3K9 methylase gene KRYPTONITE or H3K9me-dependent DNA methylase gene CHROMOMETHYALSE3, the ddm1-induced de novo cytosine methylation was abolished for all three contexts, CpG, CpHpG, and CpHpH. Furthermore, RNAi mutants showed strong developmental defects when combined with ddm1 mutation. Our results revealed unexpected interactions of epigenetic modifications, which could be conserved among diverse eukaryotes. comparison of DNA methylation between WT, 2G ddm1 (2 replications), 8G ddm1 (2 replications), and 8G ddm1 kyp

Project description:Despite of the paramount importance of heterosis in agriculture, the molecular mechanisms underlying heterosis remain elusive. Recent studies in Arabidopsis suggested possible involvement of DNA methylation in heterosis. We tested this hypothesis genetically by crossing homozygous mutants in DNA methylation-related genes in the Columbia (Col) ecotype with homozygous mutants in the same DNA methylation-related genes in the C24 ecotype. When genes in the RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) pathway were mutated, the resultant F1 hybrids did not show appreciable loss of best parent heterosis (BPH) performances in early seedling growth. In contrast, mutations in the putative chromatin remodeling protein DECREASE OF DNA METHYLATION 1 (DDM1) caused ddm1-Col like growth pattern of ddm1-F1 hybrids, a mid-parent heterosis (MPH) performance. To understand the underlying molecular mechanisms, we compared the transcriptomes of the parental plants and reciprocal F1 hybrids in the wild type and ddm1 mutant backgrounds, and identified 183 non-additively expressed (NAE) genes, which were functionally enriched in defense response, a group of genes negatively associated with plant size. Interestingly, for the expression levels of the NAE genes, WT-F1 hybrids were enriched in the Golden Ration between mid-parent values (MPVs) and Col parents in WT, but ddm1-F1 hybrids were comparable to ddm1-Col parent in ddm1 mutant, which explained the MPH performance of ddm1-F1 hybrids. DNA methylation analyses revealed only one third of the NAE genes with highly methylated promoters whose expression is negatively associated with DNA methylation of promoters, strongly suggesting that DDM1 regulates heterosis by multiple epigenetic modifications.

Project description:Eukaryotic DNA methylation is found in silent transposable elements and active genes. Nucleosome remodelers of the DDM1/Lsh family are thought to be specifically required to maintain transposon methylation, but the reason for this is unknown. Here, we find that a chromatin gradient that extends from the most heterochromatic transposons to euchromatic genes determines the requirement of DDM1 for methylation maintenance in all sequence contexts. We also show that small RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) is inhibited by heterochromatin and absolutely requires the nucleosome remodeler DRD1. DDM1 and RdDM independently mediate nearly all transposon methylation, which is catalyzed by the methyltransferases MET1 (CG), CMT3 (CHG), DRM2 (CHH) and CMT2 (CHH), and collaborate to repress transposition and regulate the methylation and expression of genes. Our results indicate that the Arabidopsis genome is defined by a heterochromatic continuum that governs the access of DNA methyltransferases and potentially all DNA binding proteins.

Project description:Plants bearing a sulfurea epiallele (TAB2sulf) were crossed with cmt3 mutants in Solanum Lycopersicum. 6 plants of a F2 progeny segregating both for TAB2sulf and cmt3 mutation were sequenced. 4 plants bear the cmt3 mutation and 2 plants have CMT3 WT alleles. the aim of the experiment was to compare sRNA accumulation between cmt3 and WT plants with particular interest on SlTAB2 (Solyc02g005200) which has been previously associated with paramutation in the sulfurea background. The WT plants had methylation levels consistent with the TAB2sulf epiallele and the cmt3 plants had methylation levels consistent with TAB2+ (low DNA methylation). cmt3 and sulfurea parental controls are added in single replicates and a WT cv M82 plant is also sequenced as control. More replicates of WT and M82 are sequenced in a related experiment.

Project description:Whole genome bisulfite sequencing was done in F3 plants resulting from a cross between Solanum lycopersicum plants bearing the sulfurea epiallele and cmt3 mutants. 6 F3 plants were sequenced: 3 WT and 3 cmt3. The F3 WT plants had methylation levels (quantified with McrBC-qPCR) consistent with the TAB2sulf epiallele and the cmt3 plants had methylation levels consistent with TAB2+ (low DNA methylation). cmt3 mutants from the F2 generation were backcrossed with WT cv M82 plants to restore CMT3 activity and followed for 2 generations (BC2). 4 BC2 plants were sequenced 2 WT and 2 cmt3. The aim of the experiment was to compare DNA methylation levels in all contexts between cmt3 and WT F3 plants with particular interest on SlTAB2 (Solyc02g005200) which has been previously associated with paramutation in the sulfurea background. The stability of DNA methylation upon CMT3 reintroduction was assessed in the BC2 plants. WT cv M82, cmt3 and sulfurea controls were added in single replicates.

Project description:Histone 3 lysine 4 and histone 3 lysine 9 methylation in wild type and ddm1 Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings. The purpose of the chromatin immunoprecipitation/microarray (ChIP/chip) experiment is to determine which regions of a genome are enriched for a particular histone modification in a single Arabidopsis thanliana genotype. Chromatin immunoprecipitation with antibodies raised against dimethyl histone-H3 lysine-9 (H3mK9) or dimethyl histone-H3 lysine-4 (H3mK4) is performed on a selected genotype. This purified DNA from each immunoprecipiation (mH3K9, mH3K4, no antibody control) is used for random amplification to increase the quantity of DNA for microarray hybridization. The amplified DNA from each experimental sample is then labeled with Cy5 and hybridized against total input DNA from the corresponding genotype, labeled in Cy3. In a single hybridization, the total input DNA serves as a baseline and is compared to the immunoprecipitated samples. Ratios of normalized signal intensities were calculated to identify enrichment of a particular sequence after immunoprecipitation, in comparison to the total input DNA. Dye swap analysis is carried out to take account of experimental variation by repeating the hybridization with identical samples labeled with Cy3 and Cy5, respectively.
