Heterochromatin constitutes the transcriptionally inactive state of the genome and in plants and mammals is generally characterized by DNA methylation and histone modifications such as histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) methylation. In Arabidopsis thaliana DNA methylation and H3K9 methylation are usually colocated and set up a mutually self reinforcing and stable state. Here, in contrast, we found that SUVR5, a plant Su(var)3-9 homolog with a SET histone methyltransferase domain, mediates H3K9me2 deposition and regulates gene expression in a DNA-methylation-independent manner. SUVR5 binds DNA through its zinc fingers and represses the expression of a subset of stimulus response genes. This represents a novel mechanism for plants to regulate their chromatin and transcriptional state, which may allow for the adaptability and modulation necessary to rapidly respond to extracellular cues. Investigation of gene expression profiles of suvr5-1, ldl1 ldl2 and suvr5 ldl1 ldl2 mutants.

Genome_build: TAIR8 Supplementary_files_format_and_content: Processed files indicate the coordinates of uniquely mapped reads. Column 1 is chromosome. Column 2 is the genomic strand (+/-). Column 3 is the genomic coordinate. Leaves from wild type Col-0, suvr5-1, ldl1-2 ldl2 and suvr5-1 ldl1-2 ldl2 3 week-old plants were used for RNA extraction using Trizol (Invitrogen) following the manufacturer instructions. 10 mg of total RNA was treated with DNaseI (Roche), and cleaned up with RNeasy columns (Qiagen). Poly(A) was purified using the Dynabeads mRNA Purification Kit (Invitrogen) and used to generate the mRNA-seq libraries following the manufacturer’s instructions (Illumina). All plants were grown under long day conditions.
