Arabidopsis RPA2: A Genetic Link among Transcriptional Gene Silencing, DNA Repair, and DNA Replication
Transcriptional gene silencing (TGS) controls the expression of transposable elements and of endogenous genes containing promoter repeats, and it is associated with increased DNA methylation. TGS-deficient mutants impaired in siRNA accumulation and/or chromatin modification (ago4, bru1, cmt3, dcl3, ddm1, drd1, drm2, fas1, fas2, hda6, hog1, met1, mom1, nrpd1a, nrpd1b, nrpd2a, rdr2, suvh2, and su...
متن کاملA link between DNA methylation and epigenetic silencing in transgenic Volvox carteri.
Epigenetic silencing of foreign genes introduced into plants poses an unsolved problem for transgenic technology. Here we have used the simple multicellular green alga VOLVOX: carteri as a model to analyse the relation of DNA methylation to transgenic silencing. VOLVOX: DNA contains on average 1.1% 5-methylcytosine and 0.3% N6-methyladenine, as revealed by electrospray mass spectrometry and pho...
متن کاملA link between RNA metabolism and silencing affecting Arabidopsis development.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are abundant endogenous small RNAs (smRNAs) that control transcript expression through posttranscriptional gene silencing. Here, we show that concomitant loss of XRN4/EIN5, a 5'-3' exoribonuclease, and ABH1/CBP80, a subunit of the mRNA cap binding complex, results in Arabidopsis plants manifesting myriad developmental defects. We find that ...
متن کاملArabidopsis DNA polymerase ϵ recruits components of Polycomb repressor complex to mediate epigenetic gene silencing
Arabidopsis ESD7 locus encodes the catalytic subunit of the DNA Pol ϵ involved in the synthesis of the DNA leading strand and is essential for embryo viability. The hypomorphic allele esd7-1 is viable but displays a number of pleiotropic phenotypic alterations including an acceleration of flowering time. Furthermore, Pol ϵ is involved in the epigenetic silencing of the floral integrator genes F...
متن کاملGene silencing and homology-dependent gene silencing in Arabidopsis: genetic modifiers and DNA methylation.
Transgenes inserted into the plant genome can become inactive (gene silencing) or result in silencing of homologous cellular genes [homology-dependent gene silencing (HDG silencing)]. In an earlier study we reported HDG silencing of chalcone synthase (CHS) in Arabidopsis. This study concerns genetic revertants of one of the CHS HDG-silencing transgenic homozygotes. Two monogenic recessive trans...
