Identification, Evolution, and Expression Profiling of Histone Lysine Methylation Moderators in Brassica rapa.

ABSTRACT: Histone modifications, such as methylation and demethylation, are vital for regulating chromatin structure, thus affecting its expression patterns. The objective of this study is to understand the phylogenetic relationships, genomic organization, diversification of motif modules, gene duplications, co-regulatory network analysis, and expression dynamics of histone lysine methyltransferases and histone demethylase in Brassica rapa. We identified 60 SET (HKMTases), 53 JmjC, and 4 LSD (HDMases) genes in B. rapa. The domain composition analysis subcategorized them into seven and nine subgroups, respectively. Duplication analysis for paralogous pairs of SET and JmjC (eight and nine pairs, respectively) exhibited variation. Interestingly, three pairs of SET exhibited Ka/Ks > 1.00 values, signify
