RESUMO

Deposition of H2A.Z in chromatin is known to be mediated by a conserved SWR1 chromatin-remodeling complex in eukaryotes. However, little is known about whether and how the SWR1 complex cooperates with other chromatin regulators. Using immunoprecipitation followed by mass spectrometry, we found all known components of the Arabidopsis thaliana SWR1 complex and additionally identified the following three classes of previously uncharacterized plant-specific SWR1 components: MBD9, a methyl-CpG-binding domain-containing protein; CHR11 and CHR17 (CHR11/17), ISWI chromatin remodelers responsible for nucleosome sliding; and TRA1a and TRA1b, accessory subunits of the conserved NuA4 histone acetyltransferase complex. MBD9 directly interacts with CHR11/17 and the SWR1 catalytic subunit PIE1, and is responsible for the association of CHR11/17 with the SWR1 complex. MBD9, TRA1a, and TRA1b function as canonical components of the SWR1 complex to mediate H2A.Z deposition. CHR11/17 are not only responsible for nucleosome sliding but also involved in H2A.Z deposition. These results indicate that the association of the SWR1 complex with CHR11/17 may facilitate the coupling of H2A.Z deposition with nucleosome sliding, thereby co-regulating gene expression, development, and flowering time.

RESUMO

Chromatin remodeling and histone modifications are important for development and floral transition in plants. However, it is largely unknown whether and how these two epigenetic regulators coordinately regulate the important biological processes. Here, we identified three types of Imitation Switch (ISWI) chromatin-remodeling complexes in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). We found that AT-RICH INTERACTING DOMAIN5 (ARID5), a subunit of a plant-specific ISWI complex, can regulate development and floral transition. The ARID-PHD dual domain cassette of ARID5 recognizes both the H3K4me3 histone mark and AT-rich DNA. We determined the ternary complex structure of the ARID5 ARID-PHD cassette with an H3K4me3 peptide and an AT-containing DNA. The H3K4me3 peptide is combinatorially recognized by the PHD and ARID domains, while the DNA is specifically recognized by the ARID domain. Both PHD and ARID domains are necessary for the association of ARID5 with chromatin. The results suggest that the dual recognition of AT-rich DNA and H3K4me3 by the ARID5 ARID-PHD cassette may facilitate the association of the ISWI complex with specific chromatin regions to regulate development and floral transition.

RESUMO

In eukaryotes, heterochromatin regions are typically subjected to transcriptional silencing. DNA methylation has an important role in such silencing and has been studied extensively. However, little is known about how methylated heterochromatin regions are subjected to silencing. We conducted a genetic screen and identified an epcr (enhancer of polycomb-related) mutant that releases heterochromatin silencing in Arabidopsis thaliana We demonstrated that EPCR1 functions redundantly with its paralog EPCR2 and interacts with PWWP domain-containing proteins (PWWPs), AT-rich interaction domain-containing proteins (ARIDs), and telomere repeat binding proteins (TRBs), thus forming multiple functionally redundant protein complexes named PEAT (PWWPs-EPCRs-ARIDs-TRBs). The PEAT complexes mediate histone deacetylation and heterochromatin condensation and thereby facilitate heterochromatin silencing. In heterochromatin regions, the production of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and DNA methylation is repressed by the PEAT complexes. The study reveals how histone deacetylation, heterochromatin condensation, siRNA production, and DNA methylation interplay with each other and thereby maintain heterochromatin silencing.

RESUMO

Imitation Switch (ISWI) chromatin remodelers are known to function in diverse multi-subunit complexes in yeast and animals. However, the constitution and function of ISWI complexes in Arabidopsis thaliana remain unclear. In this study, we identified forkhead-associated domain 2 (FHA2) as a plant-specific subunit of an ISWI chromatin-remodeling complex in Arabidopsis. By in vivo and in vitro analyses, we demonstrated that FHA2 directly binds to RLT1 and RLT2, two redundant subunits of the ISWI complex in Arabidopsis. The stamen filament is shorter in the fha2 and rlt1/2 mutants than in the wild type, whereas their pistil lengths are comparable. The shorter filament, which is due to reduced cell size, results in insufficient pollination and reduced fertility. The rlt1/2 mutant shows an early-flowering phenotype, whereas the phenotype is not shared by the fha2 mutant. Consistent with the functional specificity of FHA2, our RNA-seq analysis indicated that the fha2 mutant affects a subset of RLT1/2-regulated genes that does not include genes involved in the regulation of flowering time. This study demonstrates that FHA2 functions as a previously uncharacterized subunit of the Arabidopsis ISWI complex and is exclusively involved in regulating stamen development and plant fertility.

RESUMO

Histone H2A monoubiquitination is associated with transcriptional repression and needs to be removed by deubiquitinases to facilitate gene transcription in eukaryotes. However, the deubiquitinase responsible for genome-wide H2A deubiquitination in plants has yet to be identified. In this study, we found that the previously identified PWWP-EPCR-ARID-TRB (PEAT) complex components interact with both the ubiquitin-specific protease UBP5 and the redundant histone acetyltransferases HAM1 and HAM2 (HAM1/2) to form a larger version of PEAT complex in Arabidopsis thaliana. UBP5 functions as an H2A deubiquitinase in a nucleosome substrate-dependent manner in vitro and mediates H2A deubiquitination at the whole-genome level in vivo. HAM1/2 are shared subunits of the PEAT complex and the conserved NuA4 histone acetyltransferase complex, and are responsible for histone H4K5 acetylation. Within the PEAT complex, the PWWP components (PWWP1, PWWP2, and PWWP3) directly interact with UBP5 and are necessary for UBP5-mediated H2A deubiquitination, while the EPCR components (EPCR1 and EPCR2) directly interact with HAM1/2 and are required for HAM1/2-mediated H4K5 acetylation. Collectively, our study not only identifies dual roles of the PEAT complex in H2A deubiquitination and H4K5 acetylation but also illustrates how these processes collaborate at the whole-genome level to regulate the transcription and development in plants.

RESUMO

Transposable elements and other repetitive DNA sequences are usually subject to DNA methylation and transcriptional silencing. However, anti-silencing mechanisms that promote transcription in these regions are not well understood. Here, we describe an anti-silencing factor, Bromodomain and ATPase domain-containing protein 1 (BRAT1), which we identified by a genetic screen in Arabidopsis thaliana. BRAT1 interacts with an ATPase domain-containing protein, BRP1 (BRAT1 Partner 1), and both prevent transcriptional silencing at methylated genomic regions. Although BRAT1 mediates DNA demethylation at a small set of loci targeted by the 5-methylcytosine DNA glycosylase ROS1, the involvement of BRAT1 in anti-silencing is largely independent of DNA demethylation. We also demonstrate that the bromodomain of BRAT1 binds to acetylated histone, which may facilitate the prevention of transcriptional silencing. Thus, BRAT1 represents a potential link between histone acetylation and transcriptional anti-silencing at methylated genomic regions, which may be conserved in eukaryotes.
