Annotated Information

Function

DNA methylation is a heritable epigenetic mark that regulates expression of genes involved in developmental processes [1]. In mammals, DNA methylation predominantly occurs in CG dinucleotides and is maintained by DNA methyltransferase1, While in plants, CG methylation is maintained by methyltransferase1(MET1) [1]. Methytransferase (OsMET1) genes from rice (Oryza sativa L) have two types, OsMET1a and OsMET1b, on chromosomes 3 and 7, respectively, each encoding a cytosine-5 DNA methyltransferase (MTase), which are mainly responsible for maintaining CG dinucleotide methylation after DNA replication [1] [2].OsMET1 is a plant homolog of mammalian DNA methyltransferase1(DNMT1), and MET1b plays a major role in the maintenance DNA methylation compared to MET1a, which is indispensable for the normal development of embryos in rice [1].

Sequence comparison between OsMET1a and OsMET1b

  • OsMET1a has an open reading frame of 4,566 nucleotides with 12 exons and 11 introns while OsMET1b has an open reading frame of 4,491; nucleotides with 11 exons and 10 introns. Although OsMET1a and OsMET1b have high sequence similarity overall, they share only 24%; dentity in exon 1, and intron 3 of OsMET1a is absent from OsMET1b.
  • A lysine–glycine repeat that is highly conserved in DNA MTases is present two-thirds of the way through the protein, separating the catalytic and regulatory domains in both OsMET1a and OsMET1b.
  • The amino acid sequence downstream of the lysine–glycine repeat motif in OsMET1a showed a higher conservation (86.5%) with that of OsMET1b than did that (67.7%) for the N terminal domain (residues 1–1059). The inferred amino acid sequences of OsMET1a and OsMET1b contain several functional regions.

Mutation assay

  • RNAi-mediated knockdown analysis of the rice MET1 genes showed that it resulted in reactivation of a silenced β-glucuronidase (GUS) transgene in rice callus.
  • A Osmet1a null mutant has no obvious phenotypes, while Osmet1b null mutant exhibited abnormal seed phenotypes, such as early embryonic lethality, decreased levels of DNA methylation at repetitive CentO sequences and at the FIEI gene locus in the embryos.

Expression

  • Ribonuclease protection assays showed that MET1a and MET1b both express in highly replicating and dividing cells;
  • MET1b is more abundantly expressed than MET1a in all of the tissues examined, like callus, root and inflorescence.
  • OsMET1b does not express in differentiated tissue (10-day-old leaf), and no expression for either gene was found in mature leaves.

Evolution

This phylogenetic relationships between eukaryotic and prokaryotic DNA methytransferase were derived using the AlignX program of the VectorNTI suite, suggesting that the rice DNA methytransferase are related to DNA methytransferase of Dnmt1/MET1 class in diverse organisms from several kingdom. 112233cwb.jpeg

Knowledge extension

Apart from the main information listed above about function, expression and evolution about OsMET1 gene, there are also some advanced researches about this gene being conducted in the past few years. Takaki Yamauchi et al. reported in 2007 that the alternative splicing mechanisms of OsMET1a transcript and OsMET1b transcript differ, which is key to the regulation of active OsMET1 protein generation in different tissues. Daisuke Miki et al. reported in 2008 that de novo DNA methylation can be induced by siRNA targeted to endogenous transcribed sequences which is gene-specific and OsMET1-indepent in rice, which is also the first time to observe transcriptional gene silencing by siRNAs. Takaki Yamauchi et al. reported in 2009 that they successfully realized homologous recombination-promoted knock-in targeting to monitor gene expression by fusing a reporter gene named GUS codingβ-glucuronidase with its promoter in rice, in principle, this method can be applied to modify any endogenous gene which would promote basic and applied plant research.
