DNA methylation in Eukaryots • Non-methylated DNA: Saccharomyces cerevisiae, • Drosophila, Caenorhabditis, …. • mammals: 3-8% cytosine residues, CpG sequences • (u embryonal stem cell also non-CG, • in brain alsohydroxymethylC) • plants: 25-30% cytosine residues (~ genome size) • mainly in repetitive heterochromatinic regions • (non-methylated islands of gene-rich DNA in large genomes) • metC (CG) even in coding sequences of transcribed genes
Epigenetics • Mitoticaly and/or meioticaly herritable changes in gene function, which are not based on changes in primary DNA sequence • Mechanism:DNA methylation • histon modifications (acetylation, methylation,..) • Regulation of gene expression in development, parental imprinting • Transgene and TE silencing, • Paramutations, • Conformational changes in chromatin (keeping heterochromatin structure)

Maintenancemethylationof TE Zemach et al. 2013
DNA demethylation 1) by inactivation of maintenance enzymes after replication (MET1, CMT2, CMT3, histon methylatransferases) 2) DNA glycosylases (cleavage of methylcytosine, cytosine incorporated by reparation) ROS1 (REPRESSOR OF SILENCING) – somatic cells (RNA binding ROS3 required – unknown function) DML2, DML3 (DEMETER-LIKE) – somatic cells DME1 (DEMETER) – parental imprinting (endosperm)
ros1 dml2 dml3 DNA demethylation increase in methylation • ROS1, DML2, DML3) • mutation in „demethylation“ genes • → increased methylation in 3’ and 5’ UTR • protection of genes (promoters) • against methylation • (alt. modulation of transcription) • In methyltransferase mutants – demethylation inhibited (feed back regulation) methylation WT
Modulation of DNA methylation • - inactivation of methyltransferase genes MET1, DDM1, CMT3 • - application of 5-azacytidine – inhibits MET1 • - dihydroxypropyladenine (DHPA) – modulates [SAM] • Fenotypic changes connected with demethylation: • - variable: from negligible to strong (caused by activated TE) • sex reversion reversion, • cycloidea phenotype • (hypermethylation)

Interpretationof DNA methylationstericconsequencesof cytosine methylation- • changes on the histone level • - posttranslational modifications of histones • - SRA domains: metylace (SUVH family), • - Metyl CpG-binding d.: deacetylation (HDAC) • - presence of histone forms (H2A.Z) • changes in binding of interacting proteins • - regulators of transcription • - proteins involved in structural modifications of chromatin
example:MBD proteins (metyl-CpG-binding domain) - plant MBD proteins lack TRD (transcription repression domain) - specificity of binding affected with other interacting proteins - AtMBD5 interacts also with C*HH - MBD probably interact with histone modifying proteins (HDAC = histon deacethylases → inactivation) Model of chromatin compression by dimerazing AtMBD7 protein
Autocatalytic loop CHG methylation (CMT3) and H3K9 methylation(KYP, KRYPTONITE) - transcription induces demethylation H3K9me2 by IBM1) ROS1/ ROS3 ??? x DRM2 - similar decrease in H3K9me2 in kyp a cmt3
DNA methylation and chromatin - overview • correlation between DNA hypermethylation and hypoacethylation of histons and chromatin condensation (later replicated DNA) • inhibition of DNA methylation (MET1) and histone deacethylation (AtHD1) cause similar changes • presence of histone H2A.Z (promoters of active genes) mutually exclusive with DNA methylation!
DNA methylation and chromatin - overview • - H3K9 di(tri-)methylation (KYP) signal for CHG methylation • - CHG methylation signal for H3K9 methylation • H3K9 demethylation (IBM1) likely induced by transcription • H3K4 trimethylation typical for euchromatin, induced by transcription
Maintenance of epigenetic state - overview • inactive chromatin • - MET 1 – maintenance methylation of C*G • KYP (SUVH5,6) – H3K9me2 CMT3 - C*HG (CMT2 – C*HH) • DRM2, (DRM1) – maintenance met. CHH complementary siRNA • Aktivní chromatin • IBM1 – demethylation of H3K9 transcription • ROS1/ROS3, DML2, DML3 – demetC transcription, sRNA?

Roles of DNA methylation • herritable (mitotic and partially even meiotic modulation of transcription– gene expression • - defence against invazive DNA (TE) • - regulation of gene expression (ontogenesis, differenciation, cell memmory, stress reaction) • - parental imprinting • modulation of chromatin structure (both - cause and result) • - timing of DNA replication • - regulation of homologous recombination (meiosis) • tool of evolution • - genomes of polyploids (methylation changes) • - new genes (mutagenesis of pseudogenes)
