RNA-seq for WT and ddm1(-/-) to evaluate transposon expression in ddm1 1st generation

ABSTRACT: Silencing of transposons by the chromatin remodeler DDM1 is mediated by the deposition of heterochromatic H2A variants. Transposon mobility and silencing participates in genome evolution but also threaten genome integrity. DECREASED DNA METHYLATION 1 (DDM1) belongs to a conserved family of chromatin remodelers that are required to silence transposons, yet the underlying molecular mechanism has remained unknown. Here we show that DDM1 binds the histone variant H2A.W through two conserved domains that are required to deposit H2A.W and maintain transposon silencing. The mechanism of transcriptional silencing described here is likely shared among chromatin remodelers of the DDM1 family and heterochromatic H2A variants that have evolved in mammals.

DDM1 and RdDM are the major regulators of transposon DNA methylation in Arabidopsis

Project description:Eukaryotic DNA methylation is found in silent transposable elements and active genes. Nucleosome remodelers of the DDM1/Lsh family are thought to be specifically required to maintain transposon methylation, but the reason for this is unknown. Here, we find that a chromatin gradient that extends from the most heterochromatic transposons to euchromatic genes determines the requirement of DDM1 for methylation maintenance in all sequence contexts. We also show that small RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) is inhibited by heterochromatin and absolutely requires the nucleosome remodeler DRD1. DDM1 and RdDM independently mediate nearly all transposon methylation, which is catalyzed by the methyltransferases MET1 (CG), CMT3 (CHG), DRM2 (CHH) and CMT2 (CHH), and collaborate to repress transposition and regulate the methylation and expression of genes. Our results indicate that the Arabidopsis genome is defined by a heterochromatic continuum that governs the access of DNA methyltransferases and potentially all DNA binding proteins.

ChIP-seq for Histone variants and Histone modifictaions in WT and ddm1(-/-) in 1st generation Leaves.

Project description:How histone intrinsic sequence variation or regulatory modifications regulate nucleosome interactions with transcription remain unclear. To clarify this question, we examined how histone variants and histone modifications assemble in the Arabidopsis thaliana genome, identifying a limited number of chromatin states that divide euchromatin and heterochromatin in biologically significant subdomains. We showed that histone variants were as significant as histone modifications to determine the composition of chromatin states. The loss of function of the chromatin remodeler DECREASED IN DNA METHYLATION (DDM1) prevented the exchange between the histone variants H2A.Z and H2A.W over transposons resulting in their enrichment in chromatin states found only on proteins coding genes in the wild type. Hence, the dynamics of histone H2A variants exchange impacted the definition and distribution of chromatin states. We propose that dynamics of histone variants control the organization of histone modifications into chromatin states to achieve landmarks that signify the ability for transcription.

DDM1-facilitated R-loop resolution and H2A.Z exclusion primes heterochromatin formation in Arabidopsis [ssDRIP-seq, WGBS-seq, ChIP-seq]

Project description:Programmed constitutive heterochromatin silencing is essential for eukaryotic genome regulation, yet the initial step of this process is ambiguous. A large proportion of R-loops (RNA:DNA hybrids) had been unexpectedly identified within Arabidopsis pericentromeric heterochromatin with unknown functions. Through a genome-wide R-loop profiling screen, we find DDM1 (Decrease in DNA Methylation 1) is the primary restrictor of pericentromeric R-loops via its RNA:DNA helicase activity. Low levels of pericentromeric R-loops resolved by DDM1 co-transcriptionally can prime constitutive heterochromatin silencing. Furthermore, we demonstrate that DDM1 physically excludes histone H2A variant H2A.Z, and promotes H2A.W deposition for faithful heterochromatin initiation soon after R-loop clearance. The dual functions of DDM1 in R-loop resolution and H2A.Z eviction are essential for sperm nuclei structure maintenance in mature pollen. Our work unravels the co-transcriptional R-loop resolution coupled with accurate H2A variants deposition is the primary step of constitutive heterochromatin silencing in Arabidopsis, which might be conserved across eukaryotes.

The Histone Variant H2A.W Defines Heterochromatin and Promotes Chromatin Condensation in Arabidopsis

Project description:Histone variants play crucial roles in gene expression, genome integrity and chromosome segregation. However, to what extent histone variants control chromatin architecture remains largely unknown. Here, we show that the previously uncharacterized histone variant H2A.W plays a crucial role in condensation of heterochromatin. Genome-wide profiling of all four types of H2A variants in Arabidopsis shows that H2A.W specifically associates with heterochromatin. H2A.W recruitment is independent of heterochromatic marks H3K9me2 and DNA methylation. Genetic interactions show that H2A.W acts in synergy with CMT3 mediated methylation to maintain genome integrity. In vitro, H2A.W enhances chromatin condensation through a higher propensity to make fiber-to-fiber interactions via its conserved C-terminal motif. In vivo, elimination of H2A.W causes decondensation of heterochromatin and conversely, ectopic expression of H2A.W promotes heterochromatin condensation. These results demonstrate that H2A.W plays critical roles in heterochromatin by promoting higher order chromatin condensation. Since similar H2A.W C-terminal motifs are present in other variant found in mammals and other organisms our findings impact our understanding of heterochromatin condensation in a wide variety of eukaryotic organisms. Two mRNA-seq samples, two bisulfite-seq samples, six ChIP-seq samples.

Methyl DIP-chip from self-pollinated ddm1 mutant and ddm1 kyp double mutant

Project description:Methylation of histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9me) and small RNA are associated with constitutively silent chromatin in diverse eukaryotes including plants. In plants, silent transposons are also marked by cytosine methylation, especially at non-CpG sites. The transposon-specific non-CpG methylation in plants is controlled by small RNA and H3K9me. Although it is often assumed that small RNA directs H3K9me,　interaction between small RNA and H3K9me has not been directly shown in plants. We have previously shown that a mutation in a chromatin remodeling gene DDM1 (decrease in DNA methylation) induces a global decrease as well as local increase of cytosine methylation and accumulation of small RNA in a locus called BONSAI. Here we show that the de novo BONSAI methylation does not depend on RNAi but depends on H3K9me. Notably, in mutant of H3K9 methylase gene KRYPTONITE or H3K9me-dependent DNA methylase gene CHROMOMETHYALSE3, the ddm1-induced de novo cytosine methylation was abolished for all three contexts, CpG, CpHpG, and CpHpH. Furthermore, RNAi mutants showed strong developmental defects when combined with ddm1 mutation. Our results revealed unexpected interactions of epigenetic modifications, which could be conserved among diverse eukaryotes. comparison of DNA methylation between WT, 2G ddm1 (2 replications), 8G ddm1 (2 replications), and 8G ddm1 kyp
