Maintenance of H3K9me2 heterochromatin in the pollen vegetative nucleus requires ARID1 nuclear body formation

ABSTRACT: The chromatin of the pollen vegetative nucleus undergoes de-condensation after the first pollen mitosis, which is generally regarded as a loss of heterochromatin characteristics. We demonstrate that a basal level of H3K9me2 is, in fact, maintained in the decondensed vegetative nucleus and that the heterochromatic silencing factor ARID1 is necessary for this maintenance via its C-terminus-mediated nuclear body formation.

Maintenance of H3K9me2 heterochromatin in the pollen vegetative nucleus requires ARID1 nuclear body formation

Project description:Mature pollen contains a vegetative nucleus with decondensed chromatin and two sperm cells engulfed within the vegetative cytoplasm. Chromatin de-condensation in plants usually accompanies a decrease in heterochromatin markers such as H3K9me2, H3K27me1, and H2A.W. However, H3K9 methyltransferases are detected primarily in the vegetative nucleus. This finding raises two questions: whether heterochromatin persists in the vegetative nucleus, and by what mechanism it is regulated. Here, we show that the vegetative nucleus harbors a basal level of H3K9me2, and that ARID1, an integrator coordinating pollen mitosis and heterochromatin reprogramming during sperm cell formation, promotes the maintenance of this basal level via its C-terminal tail-mediated nuclear body formation. The heterochromatin nature of ARID1 nuclear bodies is further confirmed by their colocalization with H2A.W and H3K27me1. Domain truncation analysis reveals that nuclear body formation of ARID1 depends on its C-terminal forty-nine amino acids. Deletion of this short C-terminal region abolished nuclear body formation and inhibited the interaction with H3K9 methyltransferase SUVH6. Disrupting the nuclear body localization of ARID1 significantly impairs its recruitment to H3K9me2 target loci. Therefore, the ARID1 nuclear body is necessary for maintaining H3K9me2 in the vegetative nucleus, which ultimately influences the regulation of nuclear size. Our findings demonstrate that the vegetative nucleus, despite its decondensed state, maintains a basal level of H3K9me2 that is regulated by nuclear body-localized ARID1.

piRNA production requires heterochromatin formation in Drosophila

Project description:Here, we analyzed two small RNA libraries derived from ovarian tissue mutant for either the Drosophila SETDB1 gene, or the Bam gene. Here we show that deposition of histone 3 lysine 9 by the methyltransferase dSETDB1 (egg) is required for piRNA cluster transcription. In the absence of dSETDB1, cluster precursor transcription collapses in germline and somatic gonadal cells and TEs are activated, resulting in germline loss and a block in germline stem cell differentiation. We propose that heterochromatin protects the germline by activating the piRNA pathway. Keyword : Epigenetics 2 libraries were analyzed, with 1 being a developmental control (Bam Mutant).

piRNA production requires heterochromatin formation in Drosophila

Project description:Here, we analyzed H3K9me3 derived from wild type ovarian tissue. Here we show that deposition of histone 3 lysine 9 by the methyltransferase dSETDB1 (egg) is required for piRNA cluster transcription. In the absence of dSETDB1, cluster precursor transcription collapses in germline and somatic gonadal cells and TEs are activated, resulting in germline loss and a block in germline stem cell differentiation.
