- Abstract
- Histone methylation is a reversible modification regulated by the antagonistic
functions of residue-specific histone methyltransferases and demethylases.
Although methylation of histone H3 at lysines 4 and 36 is linked to
transcription and lysine 79 is linked to telomeric silencing, the roles of histone
demethylases in transcription and silencing regulation are not understood.
Here we show all histone H3 methylation pattern of actively transcribed genes
and telomeric region in wild-type and JmjC protein deletion mutants of S.
cerevisiae by systematically analyzed site-specific chromatin
immunoprecipitation. Crosslinking pattern of the H3K36me3 matched that of
RNApII, while H3K4me was enriched at promoter-proximal region and
H3K79me was found throughout the transcribed genes. And our results
indicate that RPH1 functions as a specific demethylase
for H3 K36me3,
directly regulating lysine 36 methylation
in transcribed regions. Histone H3
lysine 79 trimethylation is decreased within the body of actively transcribed
gene and telomere proximal site in each JmjC protein deletion mutants.
Interestingly, loss of each JmjC protein increased H3K36me2,3 but decreased
H3K79me3 at the telomere
proximal site. We show that all JmjC proteins
enhance the position effect variegation. Thus, we suggest that JmjC proteins
modulate gene silencing through differential regulation of demethylation at
H3K36 and H3K79.
