In eukaryotes, three-dimensional (3D) chromatin architecture maintains genome stability and is important in regulating gene transcription. However, little known about the mechanisms by which diverse ATP-dependent remodeling complexes regulate 3D structure plants. We examined within ATPase subunit of SWI/SNF, ISWI, INO80, CHD wild-type (WT) mutant Arabidopsis thaliana plants combining high-throughput sequencing with situ Hi-C, enrichment histone marks, nucleosome density, expression. found...
Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) chromatin organization is highly dynamic during development and seems to play a crucial role in regulating gene expression. Self-interacting domains, commonly called topologically associating domains (TADs) or compartment (CDs), have been proposed as the basic structural units of organization. Surprisingly, although these found several plant species, they escaped detection Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). Here, we show that genome partitioned into...
Abstract PWWP-DOMAIN INTERACTOR OF POLYCOMBS (PWO) family proteins play a vital role in regulating plant development. However, the molecular mechanisms of how PWOs regulate chromatin structure is elusive. Our data show that PWO1 binding sites are enriched with positive modifications but exclusive H3K27me3. Moreover, binds to H3K27me3-enriched compartment domain (H3K27me3-CD) boundary regions, and functions maintain strength. Meanwhile, we found Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) function...
Promoters serve as key elements in the regulation of gene transcription. In mammals, loop interactions between promoters and enhancers increase complexity promoter-based regulatory networks. However, identification enhancer-promoter or promoter-related loops Arabidopsis remains incomplete.
