Epigenetic and chromatin regulation of gene expression
Eukaryotic gene regulation is a very complex process in which a wide range of molecules and mechanisms come together, such as different types of DNA sequences, proteins and RNAs, genetic and epigenetic mechanisms. The tremendously rapid advances in high-throughput sequencing, but also advances in other techniques have enabled many exciting new discoveries in the field of gene regulation. Research in my team focuses on gene regulation through cis-regulatory sequences, and epigenetic and chromatin-based mechanisms. We use plants (maize, tomato, Arabidopsis, and oilseed rape) as a model system and mainly focus on two research lines: 1) Regulation by epigenetic mechanisms & chromatin structure, 2) Control of gene expression by cis-regulatory sequences.
Regulation by epigenetic mechanisms & chromatin structure
Plant and animal breeding has been done for thousands of years and forms the basis of food production and other human activities. It is based on the heritability of desirable traits and the reiterated process of crossing and selection. Most differences in heritable traits are due to genetic variation, which are DNA sequence differences between individuals. In addition, epigenetic variation can result in trait variation and contribute to the diversity we know of today. Epigenetic variation refers to mitotically and/or meiotically heritable changes in genome function based on chromatin modifications instead of changes in the DNA sequence. Examples of such modifications are DNA methylation and histone modifications. Epigenetic modifications are heritable, but not as stable as the genetic code. At particular DNA sequences the epigenetic information can be remodeled, among others under the influence of homologous DNA sequences carrying different epigenetic marks. The latter is well known to occur between individual alleles in a process called paramutation, but has also been indicated to occur at a genome-wide scale in heterosis, a phenomenon extensively exploited in agricultural breeding in which F1 hybrids between two parents display superior phenotypes compared to that of their parents. Currently, the contribution of epigenetic variation to beneficial traits displayed by crop plants and livestock, as well as the molecular basis underlying heterosis are still largely unknown. The aim of this research line is to unravel the mechanisms underlying the transfer of epigenetic information, both between specific alleles as genome-wide.
Figure 1. Paramutation, the transfer of heritable silencing information between two alleles, results in silencing of susceptible alleles by inducing alleles. Paramutation requires multiple components of the RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) pathway, which is characterized by 24nt siRNAs and CHH methylation. With paramutation at the maize b1 gene, affecting plant pigmentation, the low expressed B’ epiallele heritably changes the high expressed B-I epiallele into B’ with 100% frequency. Seven 853 bp tandem repeats (hepta-repeat) 100kb upstream of b1 are required for paramutation and high b1 expression. Control of gene expression by cis-regulatory sequences.
The differentiation of cells and their response to external signals such as light, temperature and pathogens is largely accomplished through the activation and repression of regulatory DNA sequences such as transcriptional enhancers at the correct moment in time and space (Schmitz et al, 2022). Enhancers are non-coding DNA sequences that activate the transcription of genes located up to several Mb away. Knowledge on the transcriptional regulatory code is crucial for the functional annotation of the genome and the selection of desirable traits for plant breeding. The regulatory code of plants, especially that of crop plants, is however still largely unknown. Genome-wide approaches have identified thousands of enhancers in animals, but are only very recently being applied to plants. This line of research is focused on unravelling the regulatory code of crop plants in general, and that of Zea mays in particular. Current and future work is focused on the identification and characterization of regulatory sequences and their target genes. This work contributes to a better understanding of the regulatory code in plants, and will enlarge the toolbox for the functional annotation and characterization of complex genomes, and promises new targets for informed breeding in crop plants.
Figure 2. Chromatin interactions between distal CRMs and their target gene affect gene expression levels. An example of chromatin interactions at the maize b1 locus that positively correlate with b1 expression levels. The Booster-Intense (B-I) allele contains the b1 hepta-repeat enhancer 100 kbp upstream of the b1 gene, and other putative regulatory sequences ~-15, -45 and -107 kbp upstream. In seedling tissue of B-I plants, the b1 gene is low expressed, low H3K9ac and H3K27me2 levels are observed at the gene body, and low H3K27me2 levels at the repeat enhancer. Upon transcriptional activation of b1 in husk tissue, nucleosomes and H3K27me2 are lost at the enhancer and gene, H3K9ac levels are increased, and the repeat enhancer and regions ~-15, -45 and -107 kbp upstream physically interact with each other and the TSS of b1, resulting in enhanced b1 expression.
