摘要:

染色质的基本组成单元核小体由DNA和组蛋白构成,并作为遗传和表观遗传信息的载体参与调控生命活动。同一组蛋白家族中不同序列和表达模式的成员形成组蛋白变体,在特定分子伴侣的辅助下参与染色质组装。组蛋白变体的装配能够影响核小体的性质和染色质活性。植物中的研究表明,组蛋白变体在染色质结构和表观遗传信息的维持、DNA损伤修复、转录调控等生物学过程中均发挥重要作用,从而调控植物发育和环境响应。本文综述植物组蛋白变体的染色质定位、分子伴侣和生物学功能,并展望植物组蛋白变体研究中的一些未来发展方向,以期为更深入研究组蛋白变体介导的表观遗传调控提供参考。

Abstract:

The basic subunit of chromatin is nucleosome that consists of DNA and histone proteins,and it serves as a carrier of genetic and epigenetic information in regulating life activities. Histone variants are related isoforms in the same histone family. In addition to their sequence divergence,their chromatin assembly is done under specific molecular chaperones. The incorporation of histone variants into nucleosomes generates profound impacts on nucleosome property and chromatin activity. Growing studies in plants support a pivotal role of histone variants in chromatin regulation including chromatin structure and maintenance of the epigenetic information,DNA damage repair and transcription regulation,which subsequently impact plant development and environmental response. Here we summarize recent progress on the chromatin locations of plant histone variants,molecular chaperons and their biological functions,and we propose a few new directions for the study of plant histone variants,aiming to provide a reference for deeply studying the histone variant-mediated epigenetic regulation.
