DNA conformational dynamics in the context-dependent non-CG CHH methylation by plant methyltransferase DRM2.
Title: DNA conformational dynamics in the context-dependent non-CG CHH methylation by plant methyltransferase DRM2.
Contiguous and stochastic CHH methylation patterns of plant DRM2 and CMT2 revealed by single-read methylome analysis.
Title: Contiguous and stochastic CHH methylation patterns of plant DRM2 and CMT2 revealed by single-read methylome analysis.
The authors identified DEAD box RNA helicases U2AF56 Associated Protein 56 (UAP56a/b) as new DRM2 partners. They have shown that, similar to DRM2 and other RdDM actors, UAP56 has chromatin-associated protein properties.
Title: UAP56 associates with DRM2 and is localized to chromatin in Arabidopsis.
The drm1 drm2 cmt3 triple mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana have novel growth disorders and are efective both in maintenance and de novo DNA methylation, which highlights the correlation between DNA methylation and the auxin hormone pathway.
Title: Hypomethylated drm1 drm2 cmt3 mutant phenotype of Arabidopsis thaliana is related to auxin pathway impairment.
CHH methylation in the egg cell depends on DOMAINS REARRANGED METHYLASE 2 (DRM2) and RNA polymerase V (Pol V), two main actors of RNA-directed DNA methylation, but does not depend on Pol IV
Title: Live-cell analysis of DNA methylation during sexual reproduction in Arabidopsis reveals context and sex-specific dynamics controlled by noncanonical RdDM.
DRM2 gene expression throughout normal development in Arabidopsis
Title: [Developmental expression of Arabidopsis methyltransferase genes MET1, DRM2 and CMT3].
Study shows that Arabidopsis DRM2 exists in complex with the small interfering RNA (siRNA) effector ARGONAUTE4 (AGO4) and preferentially methylates one DNA strand, likely the strand acting as the template for RNA polymerase V-mediated noncoding RNA transcripts.
Title: Molecular mechanism of action of plant DRM de novo DNA methyltransferases.
These findings substantiate the view that DRM2 is the major de novo DNA methyltransferase in the RdDM pathway and support a direct catalytic role for this enzyme in RdDM.
Title: Genetic evidence that DNA methyltransferase DRM2 has a direct catalytic role in RNA-directed DNA methylation in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Data show that by site-directed mutagenesis that both the DRM2 N-terminal UBA domains and C-terminal methyltransferase domain are required for normal RNA-directed DNA methylation, supporting an essential targeting function for the UBA domains.
Title: The de novo cytosine methyltransferase DRM2 requires intact UBA domains and a catalytically mutated paralog DRM3 during RNA-directed DNA methylation in Arabidopsis thaliana.
JMJ14 is specifically involved in the maintenance phase of DRM2-mediated RNA-directed DNA methylation.
