Cooperation between H3K27me3 and non-CG methylation in epigenetic regulation of genes in rice.

ABSTRACT: H3K27me3 is a repressive chromatin mark of genes and is catalyzed by homologs of Enhancer of zeste [E(z)], a component of Polycomb-repressive complex 2 (PRC2), while DNA methylation that occurs in CG and non-CG (CHG and CHH, where H is A, C or T) contexts is a hallmark of transposon silencing in plants. However, relationship between H3K27me3 and DNA methylation in gene repression remains unclear. In addition, the mechanism of PRC2 recruitment to specific genes is not known in plants. Here, we show that SDG711, a rice E(z) homolog, is required to maintain H3K27me3 of many developmental genes after shoot meristem to leaf transition and that many H3K27me3-marked developmental genes are also methylated at non-CG sites in the body regions. SDG711-binding and SDG711-mediated ectopic H3K27me3 also target genes methylated at non-CG sites. Conversely, mutation of OsDRM2, a major rice CHH methyltransferase, resulted in loss of SDG711-binding and H3K27me3 from many genes and their de-repression. Furthermore, we show that SDG711 physically interacts with OsDRM2 and a putative CHG methylation-binding protein. These results together suggest that the repression of many developmental genes may involve both DRM2-mediated non-CG methylation and PRC2-mediated H3K27me3 and that the two marks are not generally mutually exclusive but may cooperate in repression of developmentally regulated genes in rice.

Local DNA hypomethylation activates genes in rice endosperm

Project description:Cytosine methylation silences transposable elements in plants, vertebrates and fungi, but also regulates gene expression1. Plant methylation is catalyzed by three families of enzymes, each with a preferred sequence context: CG, CHG (H = A, C or T) and CHH, with CHH methylation targeted by the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway2. Arabidopsis thaliana endosperm, a placenta-like tissue that nourishes the embryo, is globally hypomethylated in the CG context while retaining high non-CG methylation3. Global methylation dynamics in seeds of cereal crops that provide the bulk of human nutrition remain unknown. Here we show that rice endosperm DNA is hypomethylated in all sequence contexts. Non-CG methylation is reduced evenly across the genome, while CG hypomethylation is localized. CHH methylation of small transposable elements is increased in embryos, suggesting that endosperm demethylation enhances transposon silencing. Genes preferentially expressed in endosperm, including those coding for major storage proteins and starch synthesizing enzymes, are frequently hypomethylated in endosperm, indicating that DNA methylation is a crucial regulator of rice endosperm biogenesis. Our data demonstrate that genome-wide reshaping of seed DNA methylation is conserved among angiosperms and has a profound effect on gene expression in cereal crops.

The effect of RNA polymerase V on 24-nt siRNA accumulation depends on DNA methylation contexts and histone modifications in rice

Project description:RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) functions in de novo methylation in CG, CHG, and CHH contexts. Here, we performed map-based cloning of OsNRPE1, which encodes the largest subunit of Pol V, a key regulator of gene silencing and reproductive development in rice. We found that rice Pol V is required for CHH methylation on RdDM loci by transcribing long non-coding RNAs. Pol V influences the accumulation of 24-nt siRNAs in a locus-specific manner. Biosynthesis of 24-nt siRNAs on loci with high CHH methylation levels and low CG and CHG methylation levels tends to depend on Pol V. In contrast, low methylation levels in the CHH context and high methylation levels in CG and CHG contexts predisposes 24-nt siRNA accumulation to be independent of Pol V. H3K9me1 and H3K9me2 tend to be enriched on Pol V-independent 24-nt siRNA loci, whereas various active histone modifications are enriched on Pol V-dependent 24-nt siRNA loci. DNA methylation is required for 24-nt siRNAs biosynthesis on Pol V-dependent loci but not on Pol V-independent loci. Our results reveal the function of rice Pol V for long non-coding RNA production, DNA methylation, 24-nt siRNA accumulation, and reproductive development. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.

DNA methylation dynamics during early plant life

Project description:We uncover distinct DNA methylation dynamics over genes and repeat sequences during early plant life in Arabidopsis. While gene body methylation, which is restricted to CG sites and concerns 20-30% of all genes is detected at all stages examined, it typically fluctuates over a few CGs, with no coherent pattern. In contrast, transposable elements and their relics as well as other repeat sequences, have consistently high methylation levels at CGs and show increasing CHG and especially CHH methylation during embryogenesis. Remarkably, methylation reaches 100% at many individual CHH sites in the mature embryo, compared to the 10-20% methylation usually observed at CHH sites in seedlings or adult plants. Moreover, the progressive increase in CHG and CHH methylation in embryos mirrors the loss of DNA methylation at CG and CHG sites in the endosperm, suggesting transfer of information from the endosperm to the embryo, presumably in the form of small RNAs. Finally, impairing the embryo to seedling transition through loss of PRC2 activity results in the persistence of high CHH methylation levels after germination and specifically over sequences that are targeted by the RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) machinery. Collectively, our findings indicate a lack of extensive resetting of DNA methylation patterns during early plant life and point instead to an important role of RdDM in targeting DNA methylation to transposable element and other repeat sequences in all cells of the mature embryo.

Control of Rice Tillering by RNA-directed DNA Methylation at Miniature Inverted-repeat Transposable Elements

Project description:In rice, tillering is an important agricultural trait that affects plant architecture and grain yield. RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM), which establishes DNA methylation in all CG, CHG and CHH sequence contexts and maintains CHH methylation in plants, silences transposable elements (TEs) and regulates gene expression. Here we report that knockdown and knockout of OsNRPD1a and OsNRPD1b, genes encoding two orthologues of the largest subunit of OsPol IV holoenzyme that transcribes 24-nucleotide (nt) siRNAs in RdDM, lead to a high-tillering phenotype, in addition to dwarfism and smaller panicles. In the shoot base of the osnrpd1a/b RNAi line, many genes are dysregulated, due to loss of 24-nt siRNAs and CHH methylation. Among these genes, OsMIR156d and OsMIR156j, which promote rice tillering, is derepressed when CHH methylation at Miniature Inverted-Repeat Transposable Elements (MITEs) in the promoters of OsMIR156d and OsMIR156j is lost. By contrast, D14, which suppresses rice tillering, is repressed when CHH methylation at a MITE in the 3’UTR of D14 is lost. Deletion of the MITE that is targeted by RdDM in D14 is sufficient to cause high-tillering. Our findings reveal control of rice tillering by RdDM at MITEs and provide the potential targets for agronomic trait enhancement by epigenome editing.

CG and CHG Methylation Contribute to the Transcriptional Control of OsPRR37-output Genes in Rice

Project description:Plant circadian clock coordinates endogenous transcriptional rhythms with diurnal changes of environmental cues. OsPRR37, a negative component in the rice circadian clock, reportedly regulates transcriptome rhythms, and agronomically important traits. However, the underlying regulatory mechanisms of OsPRR37-output genes remain largely unknown. In this study, whole genome bisulfite sequencing and high-throughput RNA sequencing were applied to verify the role of DNA methylation in the transcriptional control of OsPRR37-output genes. We found that the overexpression of OsPRR37 suppressed rice growth and altered cytosine methylations in CG and CHG sequence contexts in but not the CHH context (H represents A, T, or C). In total, 35 overlapping genes were identified, and 25 of them showed negative correlation between the methylation level and gene expression. The promoter of the hexokinase gene OsHXK1 was hypomethylated at both CG and CHG sites, and the expression of OsHXK1 was significantly increased. Meanwhile, the leaf starch content was consistently lower in OsPRR37 overexpression lines than in the recipient parent Guangluai 4. Further analysis with published data of time-course transcriptomes revealed that most overlapping genes showed peak expression phases from dusk to dawn. The genes involved in DNA methylation, methylation maintenance, and DNA demethylation were found to be actively expressed around dusk. A DNA glycosylase, namely ROS1A/DNG702, was probably the upstream candidate that demethylated the promoter of OsHXK1. Taken together, our results revealed that CG and CHG methylation contribute to the transcriptional regulation of OsPRR37-output genes, and hypomethylation of OsHXK1 leads to decreased starch content and reduced plant growth in rice.

Widespread natural variation of DNA methylation within angiosperms

Project description:DNA methylation is a chemical modification of DNA that can be faithfully inherited across generations in flowering plant genomes. Failure to properly maintain DNA methylation can lead to epigenetic variation and transposon reactivation. Plant genomes are dynamic, spanning large ranges in size and there is an interplay between the genome and epigenome in shaping one another. To understand the variation in genomic patterning of DNA methylation between species, we compared methylomes of numerous diverse angiosperm species. By examining these variations in a phylogenetic context it becomes clear that there is extensive variation in mechanisms that govern gene body DNA methylation, euchromatic silencing of transposons and repeats, as well as silencing of heterochromatic transposons. Extensive variation is observed at all cytosine sequence contexts (CG, CHG and CHH, where H = A, C, T), with the Brassicaceae showing reduced CHG methylation levels and also reduced or loss of CG gene-body methylation. The Poaceae are characterized by a lack or reduction of heterochromatic CHH methylation and enrichment of CHH methylation in genic regions. Reduced CHH methylation levels are found in clonally propagated species, suggesting that these methods of propagation may alter the epigenomic landscape over time, in the absence of sexual reproduction. These results show that DNA methylation targeting pathways have diverged functionally and that extant DNA methylation patterns are likely a reflection of the evolutionary and life histories of plant species. Bisulfite-seq of leaf tissue from plants representing diverse angiosperms. RNA-seq and small RNA-seq was performed on leaf tissue of a subset of the species.
