Arabidopsis AGDP1 links H3K9me2 to DNA methylation in heterochromatin


ABSTRACT: Heterochromatin is a tightly packed form of DNA, which is associated with histone 3 lysine 9 methylation (H3K9me). Here, we identify an H3K9me2 binding protein, Agenet domain (AGD)-containing protein 1 (AGDP1), in Arabidopsis thaliana. Our biochemical studies revealed that the AGDP1 can specifically recognize the H3K9me2 marks by the three pairs of tandem-AGDs. We determined the crystal structure of the AGD12 of Raphanus sativus AGDP1 in complex with an H3K9me2 peptide. In the complex, the histone peptide adopts a unique helical conformation. AGD12 employs a newly defined interacting interface to specifically recognize the H3K4me0 and H3K9me2 marks. In addition, we found that AGDP1 is required for transcriptional gene silencing, non-CG DNA methylation, and H3K9 dimethylation. Our ChIP-seq data showed that AGDP1 is enriched in TE regions and associated with the heterochromatin marks. Our findings suggest that, as a heterochromatin binding protein, AGDP1 links H3K9me2 to DNA methylation in heterochromatin regions.
