Role of CG and Non-CG Methylation in Immobilization of Transposons in Arabidopsis
Methylation of cytosine residues in eukaryotic genomes is often associated with repeated sequences including transposons and their derivatives. Methylation has been implicated in control of two potential deleterious effects of these repeats: (1) uncontrolled transcription, which often disturbs proper expression of nearby host genes, and (2) changes in genome structure by transposition and ectop...
متن کاملNon-CG methylation patterns shape the epigenetic landscape in Arabidopsis
DNA methylation has roles in different biological processes such as gene regulation and imprinting. In Arabidopsis, DNA is methylated in three cytosine contexts: CG, CHG and CHH (where H denotes A, T or C)1. In mammals, DNA is primarily methylated in CG contexts; however, studies have uncovered the presence of non-CG methylation in certain cell types such as embryonic stem cells and brain cells...
متن کاملDNA Methylation Profiling Identifies CG Methylation Clusters in Arabidopsis Genes
Cytosine DNA methylation in vertebrates is widespread, but methylation in plants is found almost exclusively at transposable elements and repetitive DNA. Within regions of methylation, methylcytosines are typically found in CG, CNG, and asymmetric contexts. CG sites are maintained by a plant homolog of mammalian Dnmt1 acting on hemi-methylated DNA after replication. Methylation of CNG and asymm...
متن کاملrole of cultural iran in promotion of multilaieralism in central asia and caucasus
cultural iran is a scope that is more extended than the political territories of iran as a political unit. this concept means that cultural geography(mehdi moghanlo-1383-1) of iran is greater than its political geography which, according to history, has a long history extending west-east from kandahar to the euphrates and north-south from the persian gulf to the caucasus including transoxiana a...
15 صفحه اولRNAi, DRD1, and Histone Methylation Actively Target Developmentally Important Non-CG DNA Methylation in Arabidopsis
Cytosine DNA methylation protects eukaryotic genomes by silencing transposons and harmful DNAs, but also regulates gene expression during normal development. Loss of CG methylation in the Arabidopsis thaliana met1 and ddm1 mutants causes varied and stochastic developmental defects that are often inherited independently of the original met1 or ddm1 mutation. Loss of non-CG methylation in plants ...
