摘要:RNA介导的DNA甲基化(RdDM)是植物中介导转座子、重复序列等区域的DNA从头甲基化的重要分子途径。RdDM对于文持植物基因组稳定及调控基因表达的具有重要的调控作用。植物中特有的DNA依赖的RNA聚合酶Pol V在RdDM途径中起重要的作用。在拟南芥中的研究表明Pol V 的最大亚基NRPE1与由DEFECTIVE IN RNA-DIRECTED DNA METHYLATION 1(DRD1)、DEFECTIVE IN MERISTEM SILENCING 3(DMS3)和RNA-DIRECTED DNA METHYLATION 1(RDM1)组成的DDR复合体互作,进而转录出支架RNA并招募沉默复合体(RISC)与DRM2来介导DNA甲基化。本试验利用同源克隆OsNRPE1b与DDR复合体中的OsRDM1,并通过Split-LUC技术,验证了OsNRPE1b与DDR复合体的OsRDM1蛋白之间存在相互作用的关系,为探究水稻中的RdDM途径奠定了基础。25636 毕业论文关键词:RNA-directed DNA Methylation;OsNRPE1b;OsRDM1;Split-LUC;蛋白互作
Identification of interaction between epigenetic regulation factors OsNRPE1b and OsRDM1
Abstract: RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) is an important epigenetic mechanism for silencing transposons and repeats. RdDM play an important regulatory role in maintaining genome stability and regulating gene expression in plant. Plant-specific RNA polymerase, Pol V, plays critical role in RdDM. Previous research showed that in Arabidopsis NRPE1 interacts with DDR complex, which facilitates the association of Pol V to RdDM loci. Pol V transcribes a scaffold RNA, then recruit RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) complex and DRM2 to catalyze de novo methylation of DNA. OsNRPE1b and OsRDM1 which is part of DDR complex were homologous cloned. And Split-LUC assay was selected to identify interaction between OsNRPE1b and OsRDM1, and the result indicated that OsNRPE1b interacts with OsRDM1. It lays a foundation for understanding RdDM pathway in rice deeply.
