HDA6 Regulates Locus-Directed
Heterochromatin Silencing in Cooperation with MET1
Heterochromatin silencing is pivotal for genome stability in eukaryotes. In
Arabidopsis, a plant-specific mechanism called
RNA–directed DNA methylation (RdDM) is involved in heterochromatin
silencing. Histone deacetylase HDA6 has been identified as a component of such
machineries; however, its endogenous targets and the silencing mechanisms have
not been analyzed globally. In this study, we investigated the silencing
mechanism mediated by HDA6. Genome-wide transcript profiling revealed that the
loci silenced by HDA6 carried sequences corresponding to the RDR2-dependent
24-nt siRNAs, however their transcript levels were mostly unaffected in the
rdr2 mutant. Strikingly, we observed significant overlap of
genes silenced by HDA6 to those by the CG DNA methyltransferase MET1.
Furthermore, regardless of dependence on RdDM pathway, HDA6 deficiency resulted
in loss of heterochromatic epigenetic marks and aberrant enrichment for
euchromatic marks at HDA6 direct targets, along with ectopic expression of these
loci. Acetylation levels increased significantly in the hda6
mutant at all of the lysine residues in the H3 and H4 N-tails, except H4K16.
Interestingly, we observed two different CG methylation statuses in the
hda6 mutant. CG methylation was sustained in the
hda6 mutant at some HDA6 target loci that were surrounded
by flanking DNA–methylated regions. In contrast, complete loss of CG
methylation occurred in the hda6 mutant at the HDA6 target loci
that were isolated from flanking DNA methylation. Regardless of CG methylation
status, CHG and CHH methylation were lost and transcriptional derepression
occurred in the hda6 mutant. Furthermore, we show that HDA6
binds only to its target loci, not the flanking methylated DNA, indicating the
profound target specificity of HDA6. We propose that HDA6 regulates
locus-directed heterochromatin silencing in cooperation with MET1, possibly
recruiting MET1 to specific loci, thus forming the foundation of silent
chromatin structure for subsequent non-CG methylation.
