The Arabidopsis BRAHMA Chromatin Remodelling ATPase Is Involved in Direct Repression of Embryonic Traits in Leaves

ABSTRACT: Synthesis and accumulation of seed storage proteins (SSPs) is an important aspect of the seed maturation program. Genes encoding SSPs are specifically and highly expressed in the seed during maturation. However, the mechanisms that repress the expression of these genes in leaf tissue are not well understood. To gain insight into the repression mechanisms, we have performed a transgenic screening for mutants that express SSPs in leaves. Here we show that mutations of BRAHMA (BRM), a SNF2 chromatin remodelling ATPase, cause the ectopic expression of a subset of SSPs and other embryogenesis related genes in leaf tissue. Consistent with the notion that such SNF2-like ATPases form protein complexes in vivo, we observed similar phenotypes for mutations of AtSWI3C, a BRM interacting partner, and BSH, a SNF5 homolog and essential SWI/SNF subunit. Further, we present chromatin immunoprecipitation evidence that BRM is recruited to the promoters of a number of embryogenesis genes including the 2S genes, which are expressed/elevated in brm leaves. Consistent with its role in nucleosome remodelling, BRM appears to control the chromatin structure of the At2S2 promoter. These results show that a BRM-containing chromatin remodelling ATPase complex is involved in the direct repression of SSPs in leaf tissue. A matrix comprising the signal intensity value of each gene per replicate hybridization and the averaged data of each gene generated from three replicate hybridizations of the wild type and mutant samples, respectively, is linked below as a supplementary file.

Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA was isolated from three independent biological replicates of essp3 mutant and Wild type (Pro?CG:GUS)) respectively. Three ATH1 chips were used for the mutant and three for the wild type.

Genome-wide profiling of SWI/SNF chromatin remodeler BRAHMA and Histone H3 lysine demethyalse Relative of Early Flowering 6 (REF6) in Arabidopsis [RNA-Seq]

Project description:BRAHMA (BRM) is a conserved SWI/SNF-type chromatin remodeling ATPase implicated in many key nuclear events. Histone H3 Lysine 27 (H3K27) demethylases specifically remove the repressive histone mark, trimethylation of H3K27 (H3K27me3). Both proteins are thought to play active roles in regulating gene activities at the chromatin level, but their genome-wide coordination remains to be determined. In Arabidopsis thaliana, RELATIVE OF EARLY FLOWERING 6 (REF6, also known as JMJ12) is the first identified plant H3K27 demethylase. Here, genome-wide analyses revealed that REF6 targets to thousands of genes across the Arabidopsis genome and co-localizes with BRM at more than 1,000 genes, many of which are genes involved in response to various stimuli, especially plant hormones. Loss of REF6 activity results in decreased BRM occupancy at hundreds of BRM-REF6 co-targets, indicating that REF6 is required for the recruitment of BRM to chromatin. Further, REF6 targets to genomic loci that contains the CTCTGTTT motif in vivo through its C2H2 zinger finger domains. Consistently, the two proteins activate the expression of a set of common genes in plant cells. Thus, this work demonstrates a genome-wide coordination between an H3K27me3 demethylase and a chromatin remodelling protein. Examination of global RNA expression in 14-day-old wt, brm-1, ref6-1 and brm-1 ref6-1 seedlings. Three biological replicates for each one.

SWI/SNF-dependent genes are defined by their chromatin landscape [RNA-seq]

Project description:The SWI/SNF complex was the first chromatin remodeling machinery discovered. Although it has been extensively investigated, numerous aspects of its regulation and activity are still poorly understood, especially in higher eukaryotes. In mammals, there is not a single SWI/SNF complex (also called BRM or BRG1 associated factors, BAF, complex) but rather a polymorphic family of complexes, with three main subtypes called canonical BAF (cBAF), polybromo-associated BAF (PBAF), and non-canonical BAF (ncBAF), with relatively different specificities. The enzymatic motors of the complexes are two mutually exclusive ATPases of the SNF2 family called BRAHMA (BRM, also called SMARCA2) and BRAHMA RELATED GENE 1 (BRG1, also called SMARCA4). Recently, an specific inhibitor of BRM and BRG1 ATPase activity, called BRM014, has been developed. We have extensively investigated the effect of BRM014 on the transcriptome and the chromatin landscape of non-tumoral normal murine mammary (NMuMG) epithelial cells.
