H3.1K27me1 maintains transcriptional silencing and genome stability by preventing GCN5-mediated histone acetylation

ABSTRACT: In plants, genome stability is maintained during DNA replication by the H3K27 methyltransferases ATXR5 and ATXR6, which catalyze the deposition of H3K27me1 on the replication-dependent H3.1 variant. Loss of H3.1K27me1 in atxr5 atxr6 mutants leads to heterochromatin defects, including transcriptional de-repression and genomic instability, but the molecular mechanisms involved remain largely unknown. In this study, we identified the conserved histone acetyltransferase GCN5 as a mediator of transcriptional de-repression and genomic instability in the absence of H3.1K27me1. GCN5 is part of a SAGA-like complex in plants and requires ADA2b and CHR6 to mediate the heterochromatic defects of atxr5 atxr6 mutants. Our results show that GCN5 acetylates multiple lysine residues on H3.1 variants, but that H3.1K27 and H3.1K36 play key roles in inducing genomic instability in the absence of H3.1K27me1. Overall, this work reveals a key molecular role for H3.1K27me1 in maintaining genome stability by preventing GCN5-dependent histone acetylation in plants.

Identification of Multiple Proteins Coupling Transcriptional Regulation to Genome Stability in Arabidopsis thaliana

Project description:Eukaryotic genomes are heavily regulated by epigenetic marks that often act to modulate the transcriptional control of genetic elements. In Arabidopsis thaliana the ATXR5 and ATXR6 histone methyltransferases, and their cognate H3K27 monomethylation mark, act in transcriptional silencing while also maintaining genome stability by preventing generation of excess DNA corresponding to pericentromeric heterochromatin. In this study we characterize the atxr5 atxr6 transcriptome and its relationship to the DNA damage response which suggests that the atxr5 atxr6 transcriptional defects may be epistatic to the genome instability defects in the mutants. In addition we isolate several factors that modulate both the transcriptional and genomic instability phenotypes of atxr5 atxr6 mutants, which suggest a mechanism for atxr5 atxr6-induced extra DNA involving conflicts between the replicative and transcriptional processes in the cell. PolyA RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), whole-genome resequencing (DNA-seq), and whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (methyl-seq) was performed on Arabidospsis thaliana mutant and wildtype plants. DNA-seq was used to characterize DNA copy number and map EMS-induced mutations, RNA-seq was used to quantify transcript abundance and map EMS-induced mutations, and methyl-seq was used to assess DNA methylation. Details of the relationship between samples in this series and figures in the associated manuscript can be found in Supplemental Table 4 of the associated manuscript. Unless otherwise noted in the description all lines are ecotype Columbia, and all genotypes should be assumed homozygous unless otherwise indicated with a '/'.

The role of ATXR6 expression in modulating genome stability and transposable element repression in Arabidopsis

Project description:ARABIDOPSIS THRITHORAX-RELATED PROTEINS 5 (ATXR5) AND ATXR6 are required for the deposition of H3K27me1 and for maintaining genomic stability in Arabidopsis. Reduction of ATXR5/6 activity results in activation of DNA damage response genes, along with tissue-specific derepression of transposable elements, chromocenter decompaction, and genomic instability characterized by accumulation of excess DNA from heterochromatin. How loss of ATXR5/6 and H3K27me1 leads to these phenotypes remains unclear. Here we provide extensive characterization of the atxr5/6 hypomorphic mutant by comprehensively examining gene expression and epigenetic changes in the mutant. We found that the tissue-specific phenotypes of TE derepression and excessive DNA in this atxr5/6 mutant correlated with residual ATXR6 expression from the hypomorphic ATXR6 allele. However, upregulation of DNA damage genes occurred regardless of ATXR6 levels and thus appears to be a separable process. We also isolated an atxr6 null allele which showed that ATXR5 and ATXR6 are required for female germline development. Finally, we characterize three previously reported suppressors of the hypomorphic atxr5/6 mutant and show that these rescue atxr5/6 via distinct mechanisms, two of which involve increasing H3K27me1 levels.
