Land plant-specific H3K27 methyltransferases ATXR5 and ATXR6 control plant development and stress responses [Arabidopsis RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: The colonization of land by plants relies on numerous evolutionary innovations crucial for terrestrial adaptation. These include advances in sexual reproduction and the ability to properly respond to various environmental stresses, which involve precise control of their regulatory genes. A notable genetic innovation in land plants is the emergence of histone lysine methyltransferases ATXR5/6, which specifically catalyse the repressive histone H3 lysine 27 monomethylation (H3K27me1). However, the evolutionary reason for land plants to develop these enzymes remains unclear. In this study, we investigate the importance of ATXR5/6 by generating strong atxr5;axtr6 double mutants in Arabidopsis. Our results show that ATXR5/6 are essential for plant reproductive development and play a critical role in supporting normal plant growth by repressing the transcription of stress responsive genes. In addition, ATXR5/6 are necessary for maintaining H3K27 trimethylation (H3K27me3), likely by providing H3K27me1 as a substrate for further methylation. We also demonstrate that the function of ATXR5/6 in regulating reproductive development and responsive genes is conserved in the monocot rice. We propose that land plants may have evolved ATXR5/6 to assist in the transcriptional regulation necessary for terrestrial adaptation

Arabidopsis SE coordinates histone methyltransferases ATXR5/6 and RNA processing factor RDR6 to regulate transposon expression [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:We performed ChIP-seq of SE and selected histone modifications. ATXR5/6 deposit histone3 lysine27 monomethylation (H3K27me1) to promote heterochromatin formation and repress transposable elements (TEs) in Arabidopsis. SE binds to ATXR5/6-regulated TE loci and promotes H3K27me1 accumulation in these regions.

RNA-seq of Serritaenia testaceovaginata aka Mesotaenium testaceovaginatum (Zygnematophyceae, Streptophyta) treated with ultraviolet radiation against untreated control

Project description:The Zygnematophyceae are the closest algal relatives of land plants and hence interesting to understand land plant evolution. Species of the genus Serritaenia have an aerophytic lifestyle and form colorful, mucilaginous capsules, which surround the cells and block harmful solar radiation. Under laboratory conditions the production of this “sunscreen mucilage” can be induced by ultraviolet B radiation. The present dataset reveals insights into the cellular reaction of this alga to UV radiation (a major stressor in terrestrial habitats) and allows for comparisons with other algae and land plants to draw evolutionary conclusions.

Loss of H3K27 monomethylation leads to DNA-methylation-independent release of gene silencing

Project description:Constitutive heterochromatin in Arabidopsis thaliana is marked by repressive chromatin modifications including DNA methylation, histone 3 dimethylation at lysine 9 (H3K9me2), and monomethylation at lysine 27 (H3K27me1). The enzymes catalyzing DNA methylation and H3K9me2 have been identified and mutations in these proteins lead to the reactivation of silenced heterochromatic elements. The enzymes responsible for heterochromatic H3K27me1, in contrast, remain unknown. Here we show that the divergent SET-domain proteins ARABIDOPSIS TRITHORAX-RELATED PROTEIN5 (ATXR5) and ATXR6 exhibit H3K27 monomethyltransferase activity and double mutants have reduced H3K27me1 in vivo and show partial heterochromatin decondensation. atxr5 atxr6 plants also show transcriptional activation of repressed heterochromatic elements. Interestingly, H3K9me2 and DNA methylation are unaffected in the double mutant. These results indicate that ATXR5 and ATXR6 form a novel class of H3K27 methyltransferases and that H3K27me1 represents a new pathway required for transcriptional repression in Arabidopsis.

Arabidopsis SE coordinates histone methyltransferases ATXR5/6 and RNA processing factor RDR6 to regulate transposon expression [Bisulfite-Seq]

Project description:We performed whole genome bisulfite sequencing in se-2 and the related triple mutants. se-2 mutant did not display obvious changes in genome wide methylation in CG, CHG and CHH contexts. Thus, the H3K27me1 hypomethylation and suppression of atxr5/6-reactivated loci in se-2 mutant was not through DNA methylation defect.

Mesostigma viride genome and transcriptome provide insights into the origin and evolution of Streptophyta [lncRNA]

Project description:The Streptophyta include unicellular and multicellular charophyte green algae and land plants. Colonization of the terrestrial habitat by land plants was a major evolutionary event that has transformed our planet. So far lack of genome information on unicellular charophyte algae hinders our understanding of the origin and the evolution from unicellular to multicellular life in Streptophyta. This work reports the high-quality reference genome and transcriptome of Mesostigma viride, a single-celled charophyte alga with a position at the base of Streptophyta. There are abundant segmental duplications and transposable elements in M. viride, which contribute to a relatively large genome with high gene content compared to other algae and early diverging land plants. This work identifies the origin of genetic tools that multicellular Streptophyta have inherited and key genetic innovations required for evolution of land plants from unicellular aquatic ancestors. The findings shed light on the age-old questions of the evolution of multicellularity and the origin of land plants.
