Project description:EDM2 is a PHD finger-containing histone binding protein in Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) that affects levels of the transposon silencing mark H3K9me2. Here we report on genome-wide profiling by ChIP-seq and RNA-seq of EDM2-mediated effects on H3K9me2 and rRNA-depleted transcripts, respectively. EDM2 affects H3K9me2 and/or transcript levels at hundreds transposons and over 3000 gene loci including 60 NLR genes. In addition, EDM2 also binds to several NLR genes and transposons.
Project description:We perform genome-wide profiling of H3K9me2 in the Arabidopsis thaliana edm3 mutant. By var-seq, we identified EDM3 as a nuclear-localized protein featuring a single RNA-recognition motif (RRM). Similar to PHD finger-containing histone binding protein EDM2, EDM3 promotes high levels of H3K9me2 at RPP7 and controls transcripts of this NLR gene by suppressing proximal polyadenylation and promoting the synthesis of full-length RPP7-coding mRNAs. Our results showed that EDM3 affects levels of this epigenetic mark at a set of genes and transposons, the vast majority of which also feature EDM2-dependent H3K9me2.
Project description:The objective of the study is to profile histone H3 lysine nine di-methylation (H3K9me2) in Arabidopsis thaliana and to correlate it with DNA methylation.
Project description:The objective of the study is to profile histone H3 lysine nine di-methylation (H3K9me2) in Arabidopsis thaliana and to correlate it with DNA methylation. We constructed a high-resolution genome-wide map of H3K9me2 methylation by using native chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with HD2 whole genome Nimblegen microarrays. Three replicas were performed for the native ChIP. As a control, one replica of ChIP isolated from crosslinked tissue was used.
Project description:The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of autotetraploidy on gene expression in Arabidopsis thaliana by comparing diploid versus tetraploid transcriptomes. In particular, this included the comparison of the transcriptome of different tetraploid A. thaliana ecotypes (Col-0 vs. Ler-0). The study was extended to address further aspects. One was the comparison of the transcriptomes in subsequent generations. This intended to obtain information on the genome wide stability of autotetraploid gene expression. Another line of work compared the transcriptomes of different diploid vs. tetraploid tissues. This aimed to investigate whether particular gene groups are specifically affected during the development of A. thaliana autotetraploids.
