Identification of putative Arabidopsis DEMETER target genes by GeneChip analysis

Abstract: The Arabidopsis DEMETER (DME) DNA glycosylase is required for the maternal allele expression of imprinted Polycomb group (MEDEA and FIS2) and transcription factor (FWA) genes in the endosperm. Expression of DME in the central cell, not in pollen or stamen, establishes gene imprinting by hypomethylating maternal alleles. However, little is known about other genes regulated by DME. To identify putative DME target genes, we generated CaMV:DME plants which ectopically express DME in pollen and stamens. Comparison … Show more

“…DNA demethylation by DME occurs during reproductive development and is required for genomic imprinting and seed viability. DML enzymes demethylate approximately 179 loci, of which nearly 80% are genes [55][56][57][58].…”

“…RNA interference directed against H1‐3 affected the imprinting mechanism and DNA methylation (Rea et al ., ). A search for DME downstream targets by analysis of DME overexpression revealed strong upregulation of H1‐3 (Ohr et al ., ). Therefore, downregulation of H1‐3 might also contribute to detection of ET‐mediated DNA methylation differences.…”

“…Unlike mammals, in which a global wave of demethylation occurs immediately after fertilization and then new m C marks are laid out, plants experience more local methylation reconfiguration in the early zygote [134,135]. DME supports temporally and spatially restricted expression of maternal origin alleles normally silenced in the rest of the plant and in other developmental phases, such as MEA, FLOWERING WAGENINGEN (FWA), FERTILIZATION INDEPENDENT SEED 2 (FIS2), or FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC) in A. thaliana [88,[136][137][138][139]. DME also accounts for development-associated demethylation and activation of many mobile elements [140].…”
