ATX3, ATX4, and ATX5 encode putative H3K4 methyltransferases and are critical for plant development

ABSTRACT: Methylation of lysine residues in the tail of the H3 histone is a key regulator of chromatin state and gene expression, conferred by a large family of enzymes containing an evolutionarily-conserved SET domain. One of the main types of SET domain proteins are those controlling H3K4 di- and trimethylation. The genome of Arabidopsis encodes 12 such proteins, including five ARABIDOPSIS TRITHORAX (ATX) proteins and seven ATX-Related (ATXR) proteins. Here we examined three until-now-unexplored ATX proteins, ATX3, ATX4, and ATX5. We found that they exhibit similar domain structures and expression patterns, and are redundantly required for vegetative and reproductive development. Concurrent disruption of the ATX3, ATX4, and ATX5 genes caused marked reduction in H3K4me2 and H3K4me3 levels genome-wide, and resulted in thousands of genes expressed ectopically. Furthermore, atx3/atx4/atx5 triple mutants resulted in exaggerated phenotypes when combined with the atx2 mutant but not with atx1. Together, we conclude that ATX3, ATX4, and ATX5 are redundantly required for H3K4 di- and trimethylation at thousands of sites located across the genome, and genomic features associated with targeted regions are different from the ATXR3/SDG2-controlled sites in Arabidopsis.

COMPASS complexes redundantly regulate gene expression and DNA methylation in Arabidopsis [RNA-seq]

Project description:The evolutionally conserved COMPASS complexes are responsible for the catalyzation of H3K4 methylations. Recently, three types of COMPASS complexes which contains histone methyltransferases ATX1/2, ATX3, or ATX4/5 were identified in Arabidopsis. Here, we report the ATX proteins are essential for the survival of Arabidopsis. By RNA-seq and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP-seq) analysis, we found ATX1/2-, ATX3-, and ATX4/5-containing COMPASS complex redundantly regulate gene expression and H3K4me3 modifications. In addition to the developmental-related genes, we found the expression of DNA methylation-related genes were also regulated by the COMPASS complexes. The transcript and H3K4me3 levels at the RdDM pathway genes (NRPE1, DCL3, IDN2, FDM2) and at the DNA demethylase encoding genes (ROS1, DML2, DML3) were down-regulated in atx1/2/4/5 mutants. Via bisulfate sequencing, we found the atx1/2/4/5 showed hypermethylation at CG and CHG contexts whereas the hypomethylation at CHH contexts. By comparing the differentially methylated regions (DMRs) in atx1/2/4/5 with that in ros1;dml2;dml3 (rdd) and in nrpe1, a large part of overlapping DMRs were identified. Based on these results and other findings, we propose that the hypermethylation in CG and CHG is partially caused by the down-regulation of ROS1/DML2/DML3, and the hypomethylation in CHH is mainly caused by the down-regulation of NRPE1. Furthermore, we revealed that the COMPASS complexes also play a redundant role in regulating the transcription of transposable elements (TEs). This study extends our knowledge about the function of COMPASS in plant development and illustrate the important roles for COMPASS complexes in the regulation of DNA methylation and TEs transcription.

Characterization of Spp1-TAP and Mer2-TAP interactomes

Project description:Histone H3K4 methylation is a feature of meiotic recombination hotspots shared by many organisms including plants and mammals. Meiotic recombination is initiated by programmed double strand break (DSB) formation that in budding yeast is directed in gene promoters by histone H3K4 di/trimethylation. This histone modification is indeed recognized by Spp1, a PHD-finger containing protein that belongs to the conserved histone H3K4 methyltransferase Set1 complex. During meiosis, Spp1 binds H3K4me and recruits a DSB protein, Mer2, to promote DSB formation close to gene promoters. How Set1C and Mer2 related functions of Spp1 are connected is not clear.

Histone H3 Lysine 4 mono-, di- and trimethyl and CTCF in CD4+CD25+CD45RA+ regulatory and conventional CD4+CD25- T-cells

Project description:Analysis of Histone H3 Lysine 4 mono-, di- and trimethyl and the boundary protein CTCF in CD4+CD25+CD45RA+ regulatory T-cells and conventional CD4+CD25- T-cells. To investigate regulatory functions or potential new transcription start sites in Treg and Tconv cells, we investigated the associated histone modifications. Mono- and dimethylation of histone 3 lysin 4 (H3K4) were previously shown to mark enhancer regions, whereas H3K4 trimethylation generally associates with transcription start sites. At imprinted loci, binding of the insulator protein CTCF, which restricts or directs enhancer-promoter interactions, is often regulated by DNA-methylation. Therefore we performed ChIP-on-chip experiments (chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by microarray hybridization; samples were amplified with ligation mediated PCR [see label protocol for the procedure] prior to labeling) for mono- di- and trimethylation of histone 3 lysin 4 and of CTCF in expanded Treg and Tconv cells. Keywords: ChIP-on-chip ChIP-on-chip experiments for H3K4 mono-, di- and trimethyl and CTCF in CD4+CD25+CD45RA+ regulatory T-cells and conventional CD4+CD25- T-cells were co-hybridizied with the input. Three biologiacal replicates (rep1-3) were performed for every histone mark, two CTCF (rep1 and rep2).

H3K4me3 ChIP chips

Project description:In yeast and other eukaryotes, the histone methyltransferase Set1 mediates methylation of lysine 4 on histone H3 (H3K4me). This modification marks the 5' end of transcribed genes in a 5' to 3' tri- to di- to monomethyl gradient, and promotes association of chromatin remodeling enzymes that regulate transcription. In a screen to identify factors that control the distinct H3K4 methylation states, we identified Ctk1, the serine 2 C-terminal domain (CTD) kinase for RNA polymerase II (RNAP II). We found that CTK1 deletion nearly abolished H3K4 monomethylation, yet caused a significant increase in H3K4 di- and trimethylation. Both on individual genes and genome-wide, the loss of CTK1 disrupted the H3K4 methylation patterns normally observed. H3K4me2 and H3K4me3 spread 3' into the body of genes, while H3K4 monomethylation was diminished. These effects were dependent on the catalytic activity of Ctk1, but are independent of Set2-mediated H3K36 methylation. Furthermore, these effects are not due to spurious transcription initiation in the body of genes, changes in RNAP II occupancy, changes in serine 5 CTD phosphorylation patterns, or to ‘transcriptional stress’. These data show that Ctk1 acts to restrict the spread of H3K4 methylation through a mechanism that is independent of a general transcription defect. The evidence presented indicates that Ctk1 controls the maintenance of suppressive chromatin in the coding regions of genes by both promoting H3K36 methylation, which leads to histone hypoacetylation, and by preventing the 3' spread of H3K4 trimethylation, a mark associated with chromatin remodeling at the 5' end of genes.
