The anti-DNA methylation mark histone H3 lysine 4 methylation recruits DNA demethylases in Arabidopsis [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Patterning of DNA methylation in eukaryotic genomes is shaped by de novo methylation, maintenance mechanisms, and demethylation pathways, but how these processes interface with epigenetic modification of histones is poorly understood. We found that the targeting of histone H3 lysine four trimethylation (H3K4me3) with the catalytic domain of the SDG2 histone methyltransferase potently erased DNA methylation and gene silencing at FWA and other genes, and also erased CG DNA methylation in the transcribed region of genes. This methylation erasure was completely blocked in the ros1 dml2 dml3 triple mutant which eliminates DNA demethylation enzymes, showing that H3K4me3 promotes the active removal of DNA methylation rather than preventing CG methylation maintenance. We also found that targeting the removal of H3K4me3 with the novel protein TRBIP1, which acts in part by recruiting the H3K4me3 demethylase JMJ14, causes potent gene silencing. Furthermore, using a CRISPR-based system to simultaneously target both TRBIP1 and a CG specific DNA methyltransferase, we observed more potent establishment of DNA methylation and gene silencing than targeting the DNA methyltransferase by itself. These results highlight H3K4me3 as a potent anti-DNA methylation mark, and reveal potent and specific tools for epigenome engineering.

The anti-DNA methylation mark histone H3 lysine 4 methylation recruits DNA demethylases in Arabidopsis [ChIP-seq]

ChIP-seq of WT(with 35S-SUC2 transgene) and proMBD7::gMBD7:4xMYC transgenic plants

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 ChIP-seq to study the genomic targeting principle of MBD7 protein Examination of MBD7 protein binding principle using ChIP-Seq. WT and proMBD7::gMBD7::4xMYC transgenic plants were used for ChIP-seq.

Genome-wide demethylation of Arabidopsis endosperm

Project description:Parent-of-origin-specific (imprinted) gene expression is regulated in Arabidopsis thaliana endosperm by cytosine demethylation of the maternal genome mediated by the DNA glycosylase DEMETER, but the extent of the methylation changes is not known. Here we show that virtually the entire endosperm genome is demethylated, coupled with extensive local non-CG hypermethylation of siRNA-targeted sequences. Mutation of DEMETER partially restores endosperm CG methylation to levels found in other tissues, indicating that CG demethylation is specific to maternal sequences. Endosperm demethylation is accompanied by CHH hypermethylation of embryo transposable elements. Our findings demonstrate extensive reconfiguration of the endosperm methylation landscape that likely reinforces transposon silencing in the embryo. Keywords: Epigenetics; bisulfite sequencing Examination of DNA methylation in four Arabidopsis tissues Description of processed data and raw data file contents can be found in the attached README.txt file

Arabidopsis TRB proteins function in H3K4me3 demethylation by recruiting JMJ14

Project description:Arabidopsis telomeric repeat binding factors (TRBs) can bind telomeric DNA sequences to protect telomeres from degradation. TRBs can also recruit Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) to deposit tri-methylation of H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3) over certain target loci. Here, we demonstrate that TRBs also associate and colocalize with JUMONJI14 (JMJ14) and trigger H3K4me3 demethylation at some loci. The trb1/2/3 triple mutant and the jmj14-1 mutant show an increased level of H3K4me3 over TRB and JMJ14 binding sites, resulting in up-regulation of their target genes. Furthermore, tethering TRBs to the promoter region of genes with an artificial zinc finger (TRB-ZF) successfully triggers target gene silencing, as well as H3K27me3 deposition, and H3K4me3 removal. Interestingly, JMJ14 is predominantly recruited to ZF off-target sites with low levels of H3K4me3, which is accompanied with TRB-ZFs triggered H3K4me3 removal at these loci. These results suggest that TRB proteins coordinate PRC2 and JMJ14 activities to repress target genes via H3K27me3 deposition and H3K4me3 removal.

Ectopic targeting of CG DNA methylation in Arabidopsis with the bacterial SssI methyltransferase.

Project description:Targeting of epigenetic marks like DNA methylation to specific loci to manipulate gene expression is important in both basic research and in crop plant engineering. However, the extent to which targeted DNA methylation can be heritable is unknown. Here, we show that targeting the CG-specific methyltransferase M.SssI (SssI) from Spiroplasma sp. strain MQ1 with an artificial zinc finger (ZF) protein can establish heritable CG methylation and silencing of the targeted loci in Arabidopsis. This occurs even in the absence of a functional RNA-directed DNA methylation pathway, which is usually required for de novo methylation. In addition to the locus-specific targeted CG methylation, we observed widespread ectopic CG methylation throughout the genome that was highly heritable over generations, even in the absence of the effector transgene. A comparison with other epigenetic features showed that this ectopic methylation occurred preferentially at less open chromatin regions that were lacking in positive epigenetic histone marks. Although ectopic CG methylation was highly enriched over gene body regions, it showed little effect on transcription of these genes. However, we observed a mild but significant reduction in the histone variant H2A.Z and H3K27me3 over genes with ectopic CG methylation. These results outline general principals of the interaction of CG methylation with other epigenomic features that should help guide future efforts to engineer epigenomes.

CRISPR-based targeting of DNA methylation in Arabidopsis thaliana by a bacterial CG specific DNA methyltransferase.

Project description:CRISPR-based targeted modification of epigenetic marks is an important strategy to regulate the expression of genes and their associated phenotypes in plants and animals. The manipulation of DNA cytosine methylation is particularly attractive in plants since DNA methylation changes are often heritable in subsequent plant generations. Although plants have DNA methylation in all sequence contexts (CG, CHG, CHH, where H can be any nucleotide but G), methylation at symmetrical CG sites is the most important for gene silencing, and is also the most efficiently maintained through miotic and meiotic cell divisions. Thus, DNA methylation targeting tools that directly install CG methylation are highly desirable. Here we have developed two CRISPR-based CG specific targeted DNA methylation systems for plants using the DNA methyltransferase MQ1 (SssI) from the bacterium Mollicutes spiroplasma. To reduce off-target effects, we used a variant of the enzyme with reduced catalytic activity. We demonstrate that methylation added by MQ1 is highly target-specific and can be heritably maintained in the absence of the effector. These tools should be valuable both in crop engineering and in plant genetic research.

RNA interference-independent reprogramming of DNA methylation in Arabidopsis

Project description:DNA methylation is important for silencing transposable elements (TEs) in diverse eukaryotes including plants. In plant genomes, TEs are heavily methylated at cytosines of both CG and non-CG (or CH, where H can be A, T, or C) contexts. The role of RNA interference (RNAi) in establishing TE-specific DNA methylation has been extensively studied, although the significance of RNAi-independent pathways in DNA-methylation reprograming remains unexplored. Here, we directly investigated transgenerational de novo DNA methylation of TEs after the loss of DNA methylation. Our analyses identified very potent and precise RNAi-independent pathways for recovering CH methylation in most TE genes, or coding regions within TEs. Characterization of a small subset of TE genes that did not show CH methylation recovery revealed the impacts of H3K9 demethylation and replacement of histone H2A variants. These chromatin components are conserved between plants and animals and may contribute to chromatin reprograming in a conserved manner.
