DNA sequence properties that determine susceptibility to epiallelic switching [Affymetrix]

ABSTRACT: Transgenerationally heritable epialleles are defined by the stable propagation of alternative transcriptional states through mitotic and meiotic cell cycles. Given that the propagation of DNA methylation at CpG sites, mediated in Arabidopsis by MET1, plays a central role in epigenetic inheritance, we examined genome-wide DNA methylation in partial and complete loss-of-function met1 mutants. We interpreted the data in relation to transgenerational epiallelic stability and provide evidence that DNA sequence features such as density of CpGs and genomic repetitiveness of the loci largely determine their susceptibility to epiallelic switching. The importance of this rule was confirmed by analyses of common epialleles in natural Arabidopsis accessions and verified in rice.

Heterochromatin is a quantitative trait locus associated with spontaneous epiallele formation

Project description:Epialleles are meiotically inherited variations in expression states that are not linked to changes in DNA sequence. Although they are well documented to persist in plant genomes, their molecular origins are unknown. Here, we show using a variety of mutant and experimental populations that epialleles in Arabidopsis thaliana result from feedback regulation of pathways that primarily function to maintain DNA methylation at heterochromatin. Perturbations to maintenance of heterochromatin methylation leads to feedback regulation of DNA methylation in genes, with a preference for genes with pre-existing DNA methylation. Using epigenetic recombinant inbred lines (epiRIL), we show that epiallelic variation is enriched in euchromatin, yet, associated with QTL primarily located in heterochromatin. Mapping three-dimensional chromatin contacts reveals that genes that are hotspots for epiallelic variation have increased contact frequencies with regions possessing H3K9me2. Altogether, these data show that feedback regulation of pathways that evolved to maintain heterochromatin silencing leads to the origins of spontaneous epialleles.

A quantitative model of MET1-catalyzed establishment and epigenetic inheritance of DNA methylation

Project description:Methylation of CG dinucleotides (mCG), which regulates genome function in eukaryotes, is epigenetically propagated by Dnmt1/MET1 methyltransferases via a semiconservative mechanism. How these enzymes accomplish stable epigenetic inheritance despite imperfect fidelity remains mysterious. Here we show that MET1 de novo activity, which is enhanced by existing proximate methylation, seeds and stabilizes mCG in Arabidopsis thaliana genes. MET1 activity is delimited by active DNA demethylation and counterbalanced by histone variant H2A.Z, natural variation in which accounts for high genic methylation in accessions from northern Sweden. Based on these observations, we develop a mathematical model that precisely recapitulates mCG inheritance dynamics and successfully predicts steady-state intragenic mCG patterns and their population-scale variation given only CG site spacing as input. Our results demonstrate how methylation patterns are created in plant genes, reconcile imperfect mCG maintenance with long-term stability, and establish a quantitative model for the epigenetic inheritance of mCG.

Epigenomic and genome structural diversity in a worldwide collection of Arabidopsis thaliana

Project description:Epigenetic variation can impact gene transcription and may play roles in phenotypic diversity and adaptation. Here we report 1,107 high quality single-base resolution methylomes, and 1,210 transcriptomes from the 1001 Arabidopsis Genomes population. Analyses reveal strong effects of geographic origin on average DNA methylation levels, alterations of gene expression by epialleles and a highly complex genetic basis for DNA methylation. Physical genome maps for nine of the most diverse accessions revealed how transposable elements and other structural variations shaped the epigenome to allow rapid adaptation to environmental changes, with strong emphasis on disease resistance. Analysis of the cistromes and epicistromes in these accessions revealed a significant association between both methylation and nucleotide variation and the conservation of transcription factor binding sites. The Arabidopsis thaliana 1001 Epigenomes Project now provides a comprehensive resource to help further understand how epigenetic variation contributes to both molecular and phenotypes in natural populations of the most widely studied reference plant.

Double-haploid induction induces extensive variation in DNA methylation in Arabidopsis

Project description:Doubled haploids (DHs) fix traits from hybrids in one generation. DH induction includes two changes in ploidy levels typically associated with variation in DNA methylation. However, DNA methylation patterns in DH plants and their biological significance are largely unknown. We generated three DH lines in Arabidopsis thaliana by crossing a haploid inducer to the accession Col-0, thus removing tissue culture and hybridization as a variable. DH induction produced thousands of differentially DNA methylated regions (DMRs), most of which were stochastic. Both haploidization and colchicine-induced genome duplication produced DMRs; the former mainly yielded DMRs at non-CG contexts, whereas the latter affected differential gene body methylation. Spontaneous genome doubling of haploid plants also induced DMRs in greater numbers than self-propagation. Our results provide the first evidence that haploid induction and genome doubling result in differential DNA methylation, offering a novel approach to induce epialleles.

DNA methylation variation in Arabidopsis has a genetic basis and appears to be involved in local adaptation

Project description:We investigated DNA methylation variation in Swedish Arabidopsis thaliana accessions. We found that methylation of transposable elements is temperature sensitive and associated with genetic polymorphism in both cis and trans, whereas gene body methylation is associated with genetic polymorphism in trans. Additionally, complementary RNA-Seq data for the Arabidopsis accessions were used to correlate methylation changes with gene expression across environments.

Natural epigenetic polymorphisms lead to intraspecific variation in Arabidopsis gene imprinting: small RNA-seq profiling in Arabidopsis thaliana Col, Ler, and Cvi parental and reciprocal F1 hybrid seeds

Project description:Imprinted gene expression occurs during seed development in plants and is associated with differential DNA methylation of parental alleles, particularly at proximal transposable elements (TEs). Imprinting variability could contribute to observed parent-of-origin effects on seed development. We investigated intraspecific variation in imprinting, coupled with analysis of DNA methylation and small RNAs, among three Arabidopsis strains with diverse seed phenotypes. The majority of imprinted genes were parentally biased in the same manner among all strains. However, we identified several examples of allele-specific imprinting correlated with intraspecific epigenetic variation at a TE. We successfully predicted imprinting in additional strains based on methylation variability. We conclude that there is standing variation in imprinting even in recently diverged genotypes due to intraspecific epiallelic variation. These data demonstrate that epiallelic variation and genomic imprinting intersect to produce novel gene expression patterns in seeds.
