Characterizing the expression, binding and function properties of Methyl-CpG-binding Domain (MBDs) genes in tomato [DAP-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Genomic DNA methylation is an epigenetic mark, which plays important roles in plant growth and development, and gene stability. In Arabidopsis thaliana, studies have demonstrated that the methyl-CpG-binding domain (MBD) proteins AtMBD5, AtMBD6 and AtMBD7 can specifically bind methylated CpG dinucleotides and AtMBD7 is involved in active DNA demethylation to limit DNA hypermethylation and gene silencing. Yet, the features of MBDs in tomato are not well known. In tomato, 17 putative MBD proteins were identified. Here, we found that 9 MBDs are constitute expressed in different tissues and only SlMBD2, SlMBD10, SlMBD10L3 are highly expressed in tomato fruit. In addition, we detected that SlMBD5 and SlMBD7 can bind specifically on symmetrically mCG sites. While, SlMBD13L can bind in different cytosine contexts depending on the 5 different MBD domains in this protein. To gain insight into MBDs binding capacity in vivo, ChIP-sequencing was performed on MBD5, it showed that SlMBD5 preferentially binds to regions that are enriched with mCG and are close to genes. Knockout of MBD5 reduces seeds germinated speed via increase the expression of GA depredated genes, SlGAox4, resulting the faster metabolism of bioactive GAs (GA4, GA7) to inactive GAs. Therefore, our data suggesting that SlMBD5 is essential for tomato seeds germination. Together, our work provides an evidence of the essential function of MBDs in tomato plant growth and development, which would be helpful in further studies of these genes in tomato.

Characterizing the expression, binding and function properties of Methyl-CpG-binding Domain (MBDs) genes in tomato [BS-Seq]

Capture of a functionally active Methyl-CpG Binding Domain by an arthropod retrotransposon family

Project description:The repressive capacity of cytosine DNA methylation is mediated by recruitment of silencing complexes by methyl-CpG binding domain (MBD) proteins. Unexpectedly, we discovered that a family of arthropod Copia retrotransposons have incorporated a host-derived MBD domain. We functionally demonstrate how retrotransposon encoded MBDs preferentially bind to CpG-dense methylated regions, which correspond to transposable element regions of the host genome, in the myriapod Strigamia maritima. Consistently, young MBD-encoding Copia retrotransposons (CopiaMBD) accumulate in regions with higher CpG-densities than other LTR-retrotransposons also present in the genome. This would suggest that retrotransposons use MBDs to integrate into heterochromatic regions in Strigamia, avoiding potentially harmful insertions into host genes. In contrast, CopiaMBD insertions in the spider Stegodyphus dumicola genome disproportionately accumulate in methylated gene bodies when compared to other spider LTR-retrotransposons. Given that transposons are not actively targeted by DNA methylation in the spider genome, this distribution bias would also support a role for MBDs in the integration process. Together, these data demonstrate that retrotransposons can co-opt host-derived epigenome readers, potentially harnessing the host epigenome landscape to advantageously tune the retrotransposition process.

SlMBD5 Promotes Seed Germination by Epigenetically Repressing the Gibberellin Catabolism Gene SlGA2ox4 in Tomato [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Seed germination represents a critical developmental transition in spermatophytes. Gibberellins (GAs) are essential phytohormones regulating seed germination. GA2-oxidases (GA2ox) play a key role in modulating GA levels by converting active GAs to inactive forms, critically influencing seed development and germination. How seed germination is epigenetically regulated by DNA methylation is poorly understood. Here, we identified the tomato methyl-CpG-binding domain (MBD) protein SlMBD5 as a regulator of seed germination. The slmbd5 mutant exhibits delayed germination and reduced GA4/GA7 levels, which can be rescued by exogenous GA4+7 application. Transcriptomic and biochemical analyses revealed that SlMBD5 represses the GA catabolism gene SlGA2ox4 by directly binding to its hypermethylated promoter. Furthermore, we show that SlMBD5 interacts with the histone methylation reader SlEBS, forming a functional complex that promotes the transcriptional repression of SlGA2ox4. Consistent with the model that SIMBD5 promotes seed germination through its repression of SlGA2ox4, the slmbd5/slga2ox4 double mutant shows partially restored germination. This study thus reveals an SlMBD5-SlEBS module that epigenetically regulates GA homeostasis to modulate seed germination in tomato.

MBD5, a m5C RNA reader, regulates histone ubiquitylation in development and function

Project description:Methyl-CpG-binding domain (MBD)-containing proteins are readers of epigenetic information. The founding member, MeCP2, mutated in the Rett Syndrome, binds to methylated CpG DNAs. MBD5 is an evolutionarily conserved MBD family member associated with epilepsy, autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and early onset dementia. The mechanism of action of MBD5 remains unclear. Here we report that mbd5 regulates embryonic development, erythrocyte differentiation, iron metabolism, and behavior in zebrafish. MBD5 is essential to activate the expression of erythrocyte differentiation genes (e.g., hbae3), iron-regulated genes (e.g., fth1), and ASD-related genes (e.g., gabbr2), by binding to 5-methylcytosine (m5C) modified mRNAs, interacting with and stabilizing Additional Sex Combs Like 1 (ASXL1), a component of the Polycomb Repressive Deubiquinase (PR-DUB) complex, to facilitate removal of the repressive monoubiquitin mark at histone H2A (H2A-K119Ub), thereby facilitating gene activation. Together, these findings reveal MBD5 as a m5C RNA reader that links RNA methylation to histone modification in vivo.

ACD15, ACD21 and SLN regulate accumulation and mobility of MBD6 to silence genes and transposable elements [ChIP-seq]

Project description:DNA methylation mediates silencing of transposable elements and genes in part via recruitment of the Arabidopsis MBD5/6 complex, which contains the methyl-CpG-binding domain (MBD) proteins MBD5 and MBD6, and the J-domain containing protein SILENZIO (SLN). Here we characterize two additional complex members: α-crystalline domain containing proteins ACD15 and ACD21. We show that they are necessary for gene silencing, bridge SLN to the complex, and promote higher order multimerization of MBD5/6 complexes within heterochromatin. These complexes are also highly dynamic, with the mobility of complex components regulated by the activity of SLN. Using a dCas9 system, we demonstrate that tethering the ACDs to an ectopic site outside of heterochromatin can drive massive accumulation of MBD5/6 complexes into large nuclear bodies. These results demonstrate that ACD15 and ACD21 are critical components of gene silencing complexes that act to drive the formation of higher order, dynamic assemblies.

Evidence that direct inhibition of transcription factor binding is the prevailing mode of gene and repeat repression by DNA methylation [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Cytosine methylation efficiently silences CpG-rich regulatory regions of genes and repeats in mammalian genomes. To what extent this entails direct inhibition of transcription factor (TF) binding versus indirect inhibition via recruitment of Methyl-CpG Binding Domain (MBD) proteins is unclear. Here we show that combinatorial genetic deletions of all four proteins with functional MBDs in mouse stem cells, derived neurons or a human cell line does not reactivate genes or repeats with methylated promoters. These do however become activated by methylation-restricted TFs if DNA methylation is removed. We identify several causal TFs in neurons, including ONECUT1, which is methylation-sensitive only at a motif variant. Rampantly upregulated retrotransposons in methylation-free neurons feature a CRE motif, which activates them in absence of DNA methylation via methylation-sensitive binding of CREB1. Our study reveals methylation-sensitive TFs in vivo and argues that direct inhibition, rather than indirect repression by the tested MBD proteins, is the prevailing mechanism of methylation-mediated repression at regulatory regions and repeats.
