Project description:By using DNA methylation of introgression lines as a marker of past paramutation, we characterise in details the paramutation of the \textit{H06} locus in crosses between Solanum lycopersicum and a range of tomato relatives and cultivars. Paramutation of H06 depends on the timing of sRNA production and conforms to the RNA-directed model of paramutation. By scanning the methylomes of tomato introgression lines for shared regions of differential methylation, thousands of candidate regions for paramutation are identified. Analysing the segregation of the methylation patterns for a subset of these regions shows variations in the penetrance of paramutation-like interactions.

Project description:A role for sRNAs in paramuation is emerging, but their nature and mode of action remain elusive. Paramutation between genetically identical epialleles in Arabidopsis allowed the analysis of associated sRNAs (the data deposited here) and revealed differences connected with gene expression, tissue type, and ploidy.

Project description:Paramutation is an exception among eukaryotes, in which epigenetic information is conserved through mitosis and meiosis. It has been studied for over 70 years in maize, but the mechanisms involved are largely unknown. All previously described actors of paramutation encoding components of the RNA-dependent DNA-methylation pathway (RdDM) are involved in the biogenesis of 24nt small RNAs. However, no actors of paramutation have been identified in the effector complex of RdDM. Through a combination of reverse genetics, immunolocalization and immunoprecipitation (siRNA-IP) we found that ARGONAUTE104 (AGO104), AGO105 and AGO119 are members of the RdDM effector complex in maize and bind siRNAs produced from the tandem repeats required for paramutation at the b1 locus. We also showed that AGO104 is an effector of the b1 paramutation in maize.

Project description:Methylation of chromosomal DNA in animals and plants is a fundamental mechanism of epigenetic regulation, and the maize genome, with its diverse complement of transposons and repeats, is a paradigm for transgenerational mechanisms such as paramutation and imprinting. We have determined the genome-wide cytosine methylation map of two maize inbred lines, B73 and Mo17, at high coverage and at single nucleotide resolution. Transposon methylation is highest in CG (65%) and CHG (50%) contexts (where H = A, C or T), while methylation in CHH (5%) contexts is guided by 24nt small interfering RNA (siRNA), and not by 21-22nt siRNA. We have found that CG (8%) methylation seems to deter insertion of Mutator transposons into exons, while CHH and CHG methylation at splice donor and acceptor sites strongly inhibits RNA splicing. Methylation differences between parents are inherited in recombinant inbred lines, but methylation switches, guided by siRNA, are widespread and persist for up to 8 generations. These differences influence splicing, and recurrent switching suggest that paramutation is much more common than previously supposed, and may contribute to heterosis. Our results provide a comprehensive high resolution resource for maize genome methylation, as well as a map of recurrent transgenerational epigenetic shifts (paramutation) in the two most commonly used inbred maize lines. Genome-wide cytosine methylation map in 2 maize strains by bisulfite sequencing, and RNA and small RNA profiles in the same tissue using Illumina platform.

Project description:This research identifies a novel protein required for paramutation at the maize purple plant1 locus. This 'required to maintain repression2' (RMR2) protein represents the founding member of a plant-specific clade of hypothetical proteins. We show that RMR2 is required for transcriptional repression at the Pl1-Rhoades haplotype, for accumulation of 24 nt RNA species, and for maintenance of a 5-methylcytosine pattern distinct from that maintained by RNA polymerase IV. Genetic tests indicate that RMR2 is not required for paramutation occurring at the red1 locus. These results distinguish the paramutation-type mechanisms operating at specific haplotypes. The RMR2 clade of proteins provides a new entry point for understanding the diversity of epigenomic control operating in higher plants.
