چکیده

Dna methylation is an epigenetic mark that is associated with transcriptional repression of transposable elements and protein-coding genes. conversely,transcriptionally active regulatory regions are strongly correlated with histone 3 lysine 4 di- and trimethylation (h3k4m2/m3). we previously showed that arabidopsis thaliana plants with mutations in the h3k4m2/m3 demethylase jumonji 14 (jmj14) exhibit a mild reduction in rna-directed dna methylation (rddm) that is associated with an increase in h3k4m2/m3 levels. to determine whether this incomplete rddm reduction was the result of redundancy with other demethylases,we examined the genetic interaction of jmj14 with another class of h3k4 demethylases: lysine-specific demethylase 1-like 1 and lysine-specific demethylase 1-like 2 (ldl1 and ldl2). genome-wide dna methylation analyses reveal that both families cooperate to maintain rddm patterns. chip-seq experiments show that regions that exhibit an observable dna methylation decrease are co-incidental with increases in h3k4m2/m3. interestingly,the impact on dna methylation was stronger at dna-methylated regions adjacent to h3k4m2/m3-marked protein-coding genes,suggesting that the activity of h3k4 demethylases may be particularly crucial to prevent spreading of active epigenetic marks. finally,rna sequencing analyses indicate that at rddm targets,the increase of h3k4m2/m3 is not generally associated with transcriptional de-repression. this suggests that the histone mark itself-not transcription-impacts the extent of rddm. © 2013 greenberg et al.
