Vogel K, Isono E. Erasing marks: Functions of plant deubiquitylating enzymes in modulating the ubiquitin code. THE PLANT CELL 2024; 36:3057-3073.

Abstract
Plant cells need to respond to environmental stimuli and developmental signals accurately and promptly. Ubiquitylation is a reversible posttranslational modification that enables the adaptation of cellular proteostasis to internal or external factors. The different topologies of ubiquitin linkages serve as the structural basis for the ubiquitin code, which can be interpreted by ubiquitin-binding proteins or readers in specific processes. The ubiquitylation status of target proteins is regulated by ubiquitylating enzymes or writers, as well as deubiquitylating enzymes (DUBs) or erasers. DUBs can remove ubiquitin molecules from target proteins. Arabidopsis (A. thaliana) DUBs belong to 7 protein families and exhibit a wide range of functions and play an important role in regulating selective protein degradation processes, including proteasomal, endocytic, and autophagic protein degradation. DUBs also shape the epigenetic landscape and modulate DNA damage repair processes. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge on DUBs in plants, their cellular functions, and the molecular mechanisms involved in the regulation of plant DUBs.

Abstract
Seed size/weight plays an important role in determining crop yield, yet only few genes controlling seed size have been characterized in soybean. Here, we perform a genome-wide association study and identify a major quantitative trait locus (QTL), named GmSW17 (Seed Width 17), on chromosome 17 that determine soybean seed width/weight in natural population. GmSW17 encodes a ubiquitin-specific protease, an ortholog to UBP22, belonging to the ubiquitin-specific protease (USPs/UBPs) family. Further functional investigations reveal that GmSW17 interacts with GmSGF11 and GmENY2 to form a deubiquitinase (DUB) module, which influences H2Bub levels and negatively regulates the expression of GmDP-E2F-1, thereby inhibiting the G1-to-S transition. Population analysis demonstrates that GmSW17 undergo artificial selection during soybean domestication but has not been fixed in modern breeding. In summary, our study identifies a predominant gene related to soybean seed weight, providing potential advantages for high-yield breeding in soybean.

The de-ubiquitinase UBQUITIN SPECIFIC PROTEASE 15 (UBP15) interacts with the SCF E3 complex adaptor ARABIDOPSIS SKP1 HOMOLOGUE 1 (ASK1) to regulate petal size and fertility in Arabidopsis thaliana. PLANT SCIENCE : AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL PLANT BIOLOGY 2024; 345:112112.

Abstract
Ubiquitination is a pivotal type of post-translational modification, which plays a far-reaching role in plant growth and development, as well as in the response of plants to stress. Just like the two sides of a coin, de-ubiquitination also plays an important role in plant life, which has been gradually discovered in recent years. Here, we demonstrate that the UBQUITIN SPECIFIC PROTEASE 15 (UBP15), which is a UBP-type de-ubiquitinase, interacts with the SCF E3 complex adaptor ARABIDOPSIS SKP1 HOMOLOGUE 1 (ASK1) and influences its protein stability to regulate plant fertility and petal size. The UBP15 is associated with the ASK1 physically, as verified by yeast-two-hybrid (Y2H) and protein pull-down in vitro assays. Disruption of ASK1 by a T-DNA insertion generates some abnormal phenotypes, such as low fertility and small petals. Genetic analysis shows that the UBP15 mutation enhances the low-fertility and small-petal phenotypes of ask1 mutant plants. By proteomic analysis, many types of proteins were identified as potential candidate downstream genes associated with the phenotypes of ubp15 ask1 double mutant plants. Taken together, these findings reveal a molecular relationship between ASK1 and UBP15 and their interaction in the regulation of petal size and fertility, which would benefit in-depth research about the ubiquitin-related pathway in plant physiological processes in the future.

Abstract
Chromatin regulation in eukaryotes plays pivotal roles in controlling the developmental regulatory gene network. This review explores the intricate interplay between chromatin regulators and environmental signals, elucidating their roles in shaping plant development. As sessile organisms, plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to perceive and respond to environmental cues, orchestrating developmental programs that ensure adaptability and survival. A central aspect of this dynamic response lies in the modulation of versatile gene regulatory networks, mediated in part by various chromatin regulators. Here, we summarized current understanding of the molecular mechanisms through which chromatin regulators integrate environmental signals, influencing key aspects of plant development.

Abstract
Histone H3 lysine-9 methylation (H3K9me) is a hallmark of the condensed and transcriptionally silent heterochromatin. It remains unclear how H3K9me controls transcription silencing and how cells delimit H3K9me domains to avoid silencing essential genes. Here, using Arabidopsis genetic systems that induce H3K9me2 in genes and transposons de novo, we show that H3K9me2 accumulation paradoxically also causes the deposition of the euchromatic mark H3K36me3 by a SET domain methyltransferase, ASHH3. ASHH3-induced H3K36me3 confers anti-silencing by preventing the demethylation of H3K4me1 by LDL2, which mediates transcriptional silencing downstream of H3K9me2. These results demonstrate that H3K9me2 not only facilitates but orchestrates silencing by actuating antagonistic silencing and anti-silencing pathways, providing insights into the molecular basis underlying proper partitioning of chromatin domains and the creation of metastable epigenetic variation.

Abstract
Ubiquitination is a highly conserved and dynamic post-translational modification in which protein substrates are modified by ubiquitin to influence their activity, localization, or stability. Deubiquitination enzymes (DUBs) counter ubiquitin signaling by removing ubiquitin from the substrates. Ubiquitin-specific proteases (UBPs), the largest subfamily of DUBs, are conserved in plants, serving diverse functions across various cellular processes, although members within the same group often exhibit functional redundancy. Here, we briefly review recent advances in understanding the biological roles of UBPs, particularly the molecular mechanism by which UBPs regulate plant development and growth, morphogenesis, and stress response, which sheds light on the mechanistic roles of deubiquitination in plants.

Abstract
The evolutionarily conserved POLYMERASE-ASSOCIATED FACTOR1 complex (Paf1C) participates in transcription, and research in animals and fungi suggests that it facilitates RNA POLYMERASE II (RNAPII) progression through chromatin. We examined the genomic distribution of the EARLY FLOWERING7 (ELF7) and VERNALIZATION INDEPENDENCE3 subunits of Paf1C in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). The occupancy of both subunits was confined to thousands of gene bodies and positively associated with RNAPII occupancy and the level of gene expression, supporting a role as a transcription elongation factor. We found that monoubiquitinated histone H2B, which marks most transcribed genes, was strongly reduced genome wide in elf7 seedlings. Genome-wide profiling of RNAPII revealed that in elf7 mutants, RNAPII occupancy was reduced throughout the gene body and at the transcription end site of Paf1C-targeted genes, suggesting a direct role for the complex in transcription elongation. Overall, our observations suggest a direct functional link between Paf1C activity, monoubiquitination of histone H2B, and the transition of RNAPII to productive elongation. However, for several genes, Paf1C may also act independently of H2Bub deposition or occupy these genes more stable than H2Bub marking, possibly reflecting the dynamic nature of Paf1C association and H2Bub turnover during transcription.

Abstract
Chromatin plays a crucial role in genome compaction and is fundamental for regulating multiple nuclear processes. Nucleosomes, the basic building blocks of chromatin, are central in regulating these processes, determining chromatin accessibility by limiting access to DNA for various proteins and acting as important signaling hubs. The association of histones with DNA in nucleosomes and the folding of chromatin into higher-order structures are strongly influenced by a variety of epigenetic marks, including DNA methylation, histone variants, and histone post-translational modifications. Additionally, a wide array of chaperones and ATP-dependent remodelers regulate various aspects of nucleosome biology, including assembly, deposition, and positioning. This review provides an overview of recent advances in our mechanistic understanding of how nucleosomes and chromatin organization are regulated by epigenetic marks and remodelers in plants. Furthermore, we present current technologies for profiling chromatin accessibility and organization.

Abstract
Polycomb Repressive Complexes (PRCs) control gene expression through the incorporation of H2Aub and H3K27me3. In recent years, there is increasing evidence of the complexity of PRCs' interaction networks and the interplay of these interactors with PRCs in epigenome reshaping, which is fundamental to understand gene regulatory mechanisms. Here, we identified UBIQUITIN SPECIFIC PROTEASE 5 (UBP5) as a chromatin player able to counteract the deposition of the two PRCs' epigenetic hallmarks in Arabidopsis thaliana. We demonstrated that UBP5 is a plant developmental regulator based on functional analyses of ubp5-CRISPR Cas9 mutant plants. UBP5 promotes H2A monoubiquitination erasure, leading to transcriptional de-repression. Furthermore, preferential association of UBP5 at PRC2 recruiting motifs and local H3K27me3 gaining in ubp5 mutant plants suggest the existence of functional interplays between UBP5 and PRC2 in regulating epigenome dynamics. In summary, acting as an antagonist of the pivotal epigenetic repressive marks H2Aub and H3K27me3, UBP5 provides novel insights to disentangle the complex regulation of PRCs' activities.

Abstract
While the pivotal role of linker histone H1 in shaping nucleosome organization is well established, its functional interplays with chromatin factors along the epigenome are just starting to emerge. Here we show that, in Arabidopsis, as in mammals, H1 occupies Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) target genes where it favors chromatin condensation and H3K27me3 deposition. We further show that, contrasting with its conserved function in PRC2 activation at genes, H1 selectively prevents H3K27me3 accumulation at telomeres and large pericentromeric interstitial telomeric repeat (ITR) domains by restricting DNA accessibility to Telomere Repeat Binding (TRB) proteins, a group of H1-related Myb factors mediating PRC2 cis recruitment. This study provides a mechanistic framework by which H1 avoids the formation of gigantic H3K27me3-rich domains at telomeric sequences and contributes to safeguard nucleus architecture.

Investigating the Physiological and Molecular Responses of Solanum lycopersicum hp Mutants to Light of Different Quality for Biotechnological Applications. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:10149. [PMID: 37373297 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241210149] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2023] [Revised: 06/08/2023] [Accepted: 06/13/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The effect of the light of different spectral compositions, white fluorescent light (WFL), red light (RL, 660 nm), blue light (BL, 450 nm), green light (GL, 525 nm), and white LED light (WL, 450 + 580 nm), on the physiological parameters of Solanum lycopersicum 3005 hp-2 (defective for a DET1 gene) and 4012 hp-1w; 3538 hp-1; 0279 hp-1.2 (defective for a DDB1a gene) photomorphogenetic mutants was studied. The parameters of the primary photochemical processes of photosynthesis, photosynthetic and transpiration rates, the antioxidant capacity of low-molecular weight antioxidants, the content of the total phenolic compounds, including flavonoids, and the expression of the genes involved in light signaling and biosynthesis of secondary metabolites were determined. Under BL, the 3005 hp-2 mutant showed the highest nonenzymatic antioxidant activity, which occurred to a greater extent due to the increase in flavonoid content. At the same time, under BL, the number of secretory trichomes on the surface of the leaves of all mutants increased equally. This suggests the accumulation of flavonoids inside leaf cells rather than in trichomes on the leaf surface. The data obtained indicate the possibility of using the hp-2 mutant for biotechnology to increase its nutritional value by enhancing the content of flavonoids and other antioxidants by modulating the spectral composition of light.

The Arabidopsis Deubiquitylase OTU5 Suppresses Flowering by Histone Modification-Mediated Activation of the Major Flowering Repressors FLC, MAF4, and MAF5. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24076176.

Abstract
Distinct phylogeny and substrate specificities suggest that 12 Arabidopsis Ovarian Tumor domain-containing (OTU) deubiquitinases participate in conserved or plant-specific functions. The otu5-1 null mutant displayed a pleiotropic phenotype, including early flowering, mimicking that of mutants harboring defects in subunits (e.g., ARP6) of the SWR1 complex (SWR1c) involved in histone H2A.Z deposition. Transcriptome and RT-qPCR analyses suggest that downregulated FLC and MAF4-5 are responsible for the early flowering of otu5-1. qChIP analyses revealed a reduction and increase in activating and repressive histone marks, respectively, on FLC and MAF4-5 in otu5-1. Subcellular fractionation, GFP-fusion expression, and MNase treatment of chromatin showed that OTU5 is nucleus-enriched and chromatin-associated. Moreover, OTU5 was found to be associated with FLC and MAF4-5. The OTU5-associated protein complex(es) appears to be distinct from SWR1c, as the molecular weights of OTU5 complex(es) were unaltered in arp6-1 plants. Furthermore, the otu5-1 arp6-1 double mutant exhibited synergistic phenotypes, and H2A.Z levels on FLC/MAF4-5 were reduced in arp6-1 but not otu5-1. Our results support the proposition that Arabidopsis OTU5, acting independently of SWR1c, suppresses flowering by activating FLC and MAF4-5 through histone modification. Double-mutant analyses also indicate that OTU5 acts independently of the HUB1-mediated pathway, but it is partially required for FLC-mediated flowering suppression in autonomous pathway mutants and FRIGIDA-Col.

Abstract
This article attempts to provide comprehensive review of plant deubiquitinases, paying special attention to recent advances in their biochemical activities and biological functions. Proteins in eukaryotes are subjected to post-translational modifications, in which ubiquitination is regarded as a reversible process. Cellular deubiquitinases (DUBs) are a key component of the ubiquitin (Ub)-proteasome system responsible for cellular protein homeostasis. DUBs recycle Ub by hydrolyzing poly-Ub chains on target proteins, and maintain a balance of the cellular Ub pool. In addition, some DUBs prefer to cleave poly-Ub chains not linked through the conventional K48 residue, which often alter the substrate activity instead of its stability. In plants, all seven known DUB subfamilies have been identified, namely Ub-binding protease/Ub-specific protease (UBP/USP), Ub C-terminal hydrolase (UCH), Machado-Joseph domain-containing protease (MJD), ovarian-tumor domain-containing protease (OTU), zinc finger with UFM1-specific peptidase domain protease (ZUFSP), motif interacting with Ub-containing novel DUB family (MINDY), and JAB1/MPN/MOV34 protease (JAMM). This review focuses on recent advances in the structure, activity, and biological functions of plant DUBs, particularly in the model plant Arabidopsis.

Abstract
Recent evidence sheds light on the peculiar type of plant intelligence. Plants have developed complex molecular networks that allow them to remember, choose, and make decisions depending on the stress stimulus, although they lack a nervous system. Being sessile, plants can exploit these networks to optimize their resources cost-effectively and maximize their fitness in response to multiple environmental stresses. Even more interesting is the capability to transmit this experience to the next generation(s) through epigenetic modifications that add to the classical genetic inheritance. In this opinion article, we present concepts and perspectives regarding the capabilities of plants to sense, perceive, remember, re-elaborate, respond, and to some extent transmit to their progeny information to adapt more efficiently to climate change.

Abstract
Five PeAOX genes from Moso bamboo genome were identified. PeAOX1b_2-OE improved tolerance to drought and salinity stress in Arabidopsis, indicating it is involved in positive regulation of abiotic stress response. Mitochondrial alternative oxidase (AOX), the important respiratory terminal oxidase in organisms, catalyzes the energy wasteful cyanide (CN)-resistant respiration, which can improve abiotic stresses tolerance and is considered as one of the functional markers for plant resistance breeding. Here, a total of five putative AOX genes (PeAOXs) were identified and characterized in a monocotyledonous woody grass Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis). Phylogenetic analysis revealed that PeAOXs belonged to AOX1 subfamily, and were named PeAOX1a_1, PeAOX1a_2, PeAOX1b_1, PeAOX1b_2 and PeAOX1c, respectively. Evolutionary and divergence patterns analysis revealed that the PeAOX, OsAOX, and BdAOX families experienced positive purifying selection and may have undergone a large-scale duplication event roughly 1.35-155.90 million years ago. Additionally, the organ-specific expression analysis showed that 80% of PeAOX members were mainly expressed in leaf. Promoter sequence analysis of PeAOXs revealed cis-acting regulatory elements (CAREs) responding to abiotic stress. Most PeAOX genes were significantly upregulated after methyl jasmonate (MeJA) and abscisic acid (ABA) treatment. Moreover, under salinity and drought stresses, the ectopic overexpression of PeAOX1b_2 in Arabidopsis enhanced seed germination and seedling establishment, increased the total respiratory rate and the proportion of AOX respiratory pathway in leaf, and enhanced antioxidant ability, suggesting that PeAOX1b_2 is crucial for abiotic stress resistance in Moso bamboo.

Abstract
The abundance of plasma membrane-resident receptors and transporters has to be tightly regulated by ubiquitin-mediated endosomal degradation for the proper coordination of environmental stimuli and intracellular signaling. Arabidopsis OVARIAN TUMOR PROTEASE (OTU) 11 and OTU12 are plasma membrane-localized deubiquitylating enzymes (DUBs) that bind to phospholipids through a polybasic motif in the OTU domain. Here we show that the DUB activity of OTU11 and OTU12 towards K63-linked ubiquitin is stimulated by binding to lipid membranes containing anionic lipids. In addition, we show that the DUB activity of OTU11 against K6- and K11-linkages is also stimulated by anionic lipids, and that OTU11 and OTU12 can modulate the endosomal degradation of a model cargo and the auxin efflux transporter PIN2-GFP in vivo. Our results suggest that the catalytic activity of OTU11 and OTU12 is tightly connected to their ability to bind membranes and that OTU11 and OTU12 are involved in the fine-tuning of plasma membrane proteins in Arabidopsis.

Abstract
Sperm chromatin is typically transformed by protamines into a compact and transcriptionally inactive state1,2. Sperm cells of flowering plants lack protamines, yet they have small, transcriptionally active nuclei with chromatin condensed through an unknown mechanism3,4. Here we show that a histone variant, H2B.8, mediates sperm chromatin and nuclear condensation in Arabidopsis thaliana. Loss of H2B.8 causes enlarged sperm nuclei with dispersed chromatin, whereas ectopic expression in somatic cells produces smaller nuclei with aggregated chromatin. This result demonstrates that H2B.8 is sufficient for chromatin condensation. H2B.8 aggregates transcriptionally inactive AT-rich chromatin into phase-separated condensates, which facilitates nuclear compaction without reducing transcription. Reciprocal crosses show that mutation of h2b.8 reduces male transmission, which suggests that H2B.8-mediated sperm compaction is important for fertility. Altogether, our results reveal a new mechanism of nuclear compaction through global aggregation of unexpressed chromatin. We propose that H2B.8 is an evolutionary innovation of flowering plants that achieves nuclear condensation compatible with active transcription.

Abstract
The plant nucleus provides a major hub for environmental signal integration at the chromatin level. Multiple light signaling pathways operate and exchange information by regulating a large repertoire of gene targets that shape plant responses to a changing environment. In addition to the established role of transcription factors in triggering photoregulated changes in gene expression, there are eminent reports on the significance of chromatin regulators and nuclear scaffold dynamics in promoting light-induced plant responses. Here, we report and discuss recent advances in chromatin-regulatory mechanisms modulating plant architecture and development in response to light, including the molecular and physiological roles of key modifications such as DNA, RNA and histone methylation, and/or acetylation. The significance of the formation of biomolecular condensates of key light signaling components is discussed and potential applications to agricultural practices overviewed.

Abstract
The tung oil produced by the tung tree (Vernicia fordii) provides resources for the manufacture of biodiesel. Ubiquitin-specific proteases (UBPs) are the largest group of deubiquitinases and play key roles in regulating development and stress responses. Here, 21 UBPs were identified in V. fordii, roughly one-half the number found in Manihot esculenta and Hevea brasiliensis. Most UBP duplications are produced from whole-genome duplication (WGD), and significant differences in gene retention existed among Euphorbiaceae. The great majority of UBP-containing blocks in V. fordii, V. montana, Ricinus communis, and Jatropha curcas exhibited extensive conservation with the duplicated regions of M. esculenta and H. brasiliensis. These blocks formed 14 orthologous groups, indicating they shared WGD with UBPs in M. esculenta and H. brasiliensis, but most of these UBPs copies were lost. The UBP orthologs contained significant functional divergence which explained the susceptibility of V. fordii to Fusarium wilt and the resistance of V. montana to Fusarium wilt. The expression patterns and experiments suggested that Vf03G1417 could affect the seed-related traits and positively regulate the seed oil accumulation. This study provided important insights into the evolution of UBPs in Euphorbiaceae and identified important candidate VfUBPs for marker-assisted breeding in V. fordii.

Abstract
Mono-, di-, and trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me1/2/3) are associated with transcription, yet it remains controversial whether H3K4me1/2/3 promote or result from transcription. Our previous characterizations of Arabidopsis H3K4 demethylases suggest roles for H3K4me1 in transcription. However, the control of H3K4me1 remains unexplored in Arabidopsis, in which no methyltransferase for H3K4me1 has been identified. Here, we identify three Arabidopsis methyltransferases that direct H3K4me1. Analyses of their genome-wide localization using ChIP-seq and machine learning reveal that one of the enzymes cooperates with the transcription machinery, while the other two are associated with specific histone modifications and DNA sequences. Importantly, these two types of localization patterns are also found for the other H3K4 methyltransferases in Arabidopsis and mice. These results suggest that H3K4me1/2/3 are established and maintained via interplay with transcription as well as inputs from other chromatin features, presumably enabling elaborate gene control.

Abstract
Covalent modification of histones is an important tool for gene transcriptional control in eukaryotes, which coordinates growth, development, and adaptation to environmental changes. In recent years, an important role for monoubiquitination of histone 2B (H2B) has emerged in plants, where it is associated with transcriptional activation. In this review, we discuss the dynamics of the H2B monoubiquitination system in plants and its role in regulating developmental processes including flowering, circadian rhythm, photomorphogenesis, and the response to abiotic and biotic stress including drought, salinity, and fungal, bacterial, and viral pathogens. Furthermore, we highlight the crosstalk between H2B monoubiquitination and other histone modifications which fine-tunes transcription and ensures developmental plasticity. Finally, we put into perspective how this versatile regulatory mechanism can be developed as a useful tool for crop improvement.

Abstract
Ubiquitination-mediated protein degradation in both the 26S proteasome and vacuole is an important process in abscisic acid (ABA) signaling. However, the role of deubiquitination in this process remains elusive. Here, we demonstrate that two deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs), ubiquitin-specific protease 12 (UBP12) and UBP13, modulate ABA signaling and drought tolerance by deubiquitinating and stabilizing the endosomal sorting complex required for transport-I (ESCRT-I) component vacuolar protein sorting 23A (VPS23A) and thereby affect the stability of ABA receptors in Arabidopsis thaliana. Genetic analysis showed that VPS23A overexpression could rescue the ABA hypersensitive and drought tolerance phenotypes of ubp12-2w or ubp13-1. In addition to the direct regulation of VPS23A, we found that UBP12 and UBP13 also stabilized the E3 ligase XB3 ortholog 5 in A. thaliana (XBAT35.2) in response to ABA treatment. Hence, we demonstrated that UBP12 and UBP13 are previously unidentified rheostatic regulators of ABA signaling and revealed a mechanism by which deubiquitination precisely monitors the XBAT35/VPS23A ubiquitination module in the ABA response.

Abstract
Abscisic acid (ABA) is a plant hormone that activates adaptive mechanisms to environmental stress conditions. Plant adaptive mechanisms are complex and highly modulated processes induced by stress-responsive proteins; however, the precise mechanisms by which these processes function under adverse conditions remain unclear. Here, we isolated CaUBP12 (Capsicum annuum ubiquitin-specific protease 12) from pepper (C. annuum) leaves. We show that CaUBP12 expression is significantly induced after exposure to abiotic stress treatments. We conducted loss-of-function and gain-of-function genetic studies to elucidate the biological functions of CaUBP12 in response to ABA and dehydration stress. CaUBP12-silenced pepper plants and CaUBP12-overexpressing Arabidopsis plants displayed dehydration-sensitive and dehydration-tolerant phenotypes, respectively; these phenotypes were characterized by regulation of transpirational water loss and stomatal aperture. Under dehydration stress conditions, CaUBP12-silenced pepper plants and CaUBP12-overexpressing Arabidopsis plants exhibited lower and higher expression levels of stress-related genes, respectively, than the control plants. We isolated a CaUBP12 interaction protein, CaSnRK2.6, which is a homolog of Arabidopsis OST1; degradation of this protein was partially inhibited by CaUBP12. Similar to CaUBP12-silenced pepper plants and CaUBP12-overexpressing Arabidopsis plants, CaSnRK2.6-silenced pepper plants and CaSnRK2.6-overexpressing Arabidopsis displayed dehydration-sensitive and dehydration-tolerant phenotypes, respectively. Our findings suggest that CaUBP12 positively modulates the dehydration stress response by suppressing CaSnRK2.6 protein degradation.

Abstract
The SAGA (Spt-Ada-Gcn5 acetyltransferase) complex is an evolutionarily conserved histone acetyltransferase complex that has a critical role in histone acetylation, gene expression, and various developmental processes in eukaryotes. However, little is known about the composition and function of the SAGA complex in plants. In this study, we found that the SAGA complex in Arabidopsis thaliana contains not only conserved subunits but also four plant-specific subunits: three functionally redundant paralogs, SCS1, SCS2A, and SCS2B (SCS1/2A/2B), and a TAF-like subunit, TAFL. Mutations in SCS1/2A/2B lead to defective phenotypes similar to those caused by mutations in the genes encoding conserved SAGA subunits HAG1 and ADA2B, including delayed juvenile-to-adult phase transition, late flowering, and increased trichome density. Furthermore, we demonstrated that SCS1/2A/2B are required for the function of the SAGA complex in histone acetylation, thereby promoting the transcription of development-related genes. These results together suggest that SCS1/2A/2B are core subunits of the SAGA complex in Arabidopsis. Compared with SAGA complexes in other eukaryotes, the SAGA complexes in plants have evolved unique features that are necessary for normal growth and development.

Abstract
Ubiquitination is essential for plant growth and development. Deubiquitination cooperates with ubiquitination to regulate the ubiquitination levels of target proteins. The ubiquitin-specific protease (UBP) family is the largest group of deubiquitinases (DUBs), which perform extensive and significant roles in eukaryotic organisms. However, the UBP genes in wheat (TaUBPs) are not identified, and the functions of TaUBPs are unknown. The present study identified 97 UBP genes in the whole genome of T. aestivum. These genes were divided into 15 groups and non-randomly distributed on chromosomes of T. aestivum. Analyses of evolutionary patterns revealed that TaUBPs mainly underwent purification selection. The studies of cis-acting regulatory elements indicated that they might be involved in response to hormones. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) results showed that TaUBPs were differentially expressed in different tissues. Besides, several TaUBPs were significantly up-regulated when plants were treated with salicylic acid (SA), implying that these DUBs may play a role in abiotic stress responses in plants and few TaUBPs displayed differential expression after viral infection. Furthermore, TaUBP1A.1 (TraesCS1A02G432600.1) silenced by virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) facilitates Chinese wheat mosaic virus (CWMV) infection in wheat, indicating that TaUBP1A.1 may be involved in a defense mechanism against viruses. This study comprehensively analyzed the UBP gene family in wheat and provided a basis for further research of TaUBPs functions in wheat plant response to viral infection.

Abstract
The SAGA complex is an evolutionarily conserved transcriptional coactivator that regulates gene expression through its histone acetyltransferase and deubiquitylase activities, recognition of specific histone modifications, and interactions with transcription factors. Multiple lines of evidence indicate the existence of distinct variants of SAGA among organisms as well as within a species, permitting diverse functions to dynamically regulate cellular pathways. Our co-expression analysis of genes encoding human SAGA components showed enrichment in reproductive organs, brain tissues and the skeletal muscle, which corresponds to their established roles in developmental programs, emerging roles in neurodegenerative diseases, and understudied functions in specific cell types. SAGA subunits modulate growth, development and response to various stresses from yeast to plants and metazoans. In metazoans, SAGA further participates in the regulation of differentiation and maturation of both innate and adaptive immune cells, and is associated with initiation and progression of diseases including a broad range of cancers. The evolutionary conservation of SAGA highlights its indispensable role in eukaryotic life, thus deciphering the mechanisms of action of SAGA is key to understanding fundamental biological processes throughout evolution. To illuminate the diversity and conservation of this essential complex, here we discuss variations in composition, essentiality and co-expression of component genes, and its prominent functions across Fungi, Plantae and Animalia kingdoms.

Abstract
DE-ETIOLATED 1 (DET1) and CONSTITUTIVE PHOTOMORPHOGENESIS 1 (COP1) are two essential repressors of Arabidopsis photomorphogenesis. These proteins can associate with CULLIN4 to form independent CRL4-based E3 ubiquitin ligases that mediate the degradation of several photomorphogenic transcription factors, including ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL 5 (HY5), thereby controlling multiple gene-regulatory networks. Despite extensive biochemical and genetic analyses of their multi-subunit complexes, the functional links between DET1 and COP1 have long remained elusive. Here, we report that DET1 associates with COP1 in vivo, enhances COP1-HY5 interaction, and promotes COP1 destabilization in a process that dampens HY5 protein abundance. By regulating its accumulation, DET1 avoids HY5 association with hundreds of second-site genomic loci, which are also frequently targeted by the skotomorphogenic transcription factor PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTOR 3. Accordingly, ectopic HY5 chromatin enrichment favors local gene repression and can trigger fusca-like phenotypes. This study therefore shows that DET1-mediated regulation of COP1 stability tunes down the HY5 cistrome, avoiding hyper-photomorphogenic responses that might compromise plant viability.

Abstract
In plants, light signals trigger a photomorphogenic program involving transcriptome changes, epigenetic regulation, and inhibited hypocotyl elongation. The evolutionarily conserved histone variant H2A.Z, which functions in transcriptional regulation, is deposited in chromatin by the SWI2/SNF2-RELATED 1 complex (SWR1c). However, the role of H2A.Z in photomorphogenesis and its deposition mechanism remain unclear. Here, we show that in Arabidopsis thaliana, H2A.Z deposition at its target loci is induced by light irradiation via NUCLEAR FACTOR-Y, subunit C (NF-YC) proteins, thereby inhibiting photomorphogenic growth. NF-YCs physically interact with ACTIN-RELATED PROTEIN6 (ARP6), a key component of the SWR1c that is essential for depositing H2A.Z, in a light-dependent manner. NF-YCs and ARP6 function together as negative regulators of hypocotyl growth by depositing H2A.Z at their target genes during photomorphogenesis. Our findings reveal an important role for the histone variant H2A.Z in photomorphogenic growth and provide insights into a novel transcription regulatory node that mediates H2A.Z deposition to control plant growth in response to changing light conditions.

Abstract
Epigenetic mechanisms play diverse roles in the regulation of genome stability in eukaryotes. In Arabidopsis thaliana, genome stability is maintained during DNA replication by the H3.1K27 methyltransferases ARABIDOPSIS TRITHORAX-RELATED PROTEIN 5 (ATXR5) and ATXR6, which catalyze the deposition of K27me1 on replication-dependent H3.1 variants. The loss of H3.1K27me1 in atxr5 atxr6 double mutants leads to heterochromatin defects, including transcriptional de-repression and genomic instability, but the molecular mechanisms involved remain largely unknown. In this study, we identified the transcriptional co-activator and conserved histone acetyltransferase GCN5 as a mediator of transcriptional de-repression and genomic instability in the absence of H3.1K27me1. GCN5 is part of a SAGA-like complex in plants that requires the GCN5-interacting protein ADA2b and the chromatin remodeler CHR6 to mediate the heterochromatic defects in atxr5 atxr6 mutants. Our results also indicate that Arabidopsis GCN5 acetylates multiple lysine residues on H3.1 variants, but H3.1K27 and H3.1K36 play essential functions in inducing genomic instability in the absence of H3.1K27me1. Finally, we show that H3.1K36 acetylation by GCN5 is negatively regulated by H3.1K27me1 in vitro. Overall, this work reveals a key molecular role for H3.1K27me1 in maintaining transcriptional silencing and genome stability in heterochromatin by restricting GCN5-mediated histone acetylation in plants.

Abstract
Histone acetylation is directly related to gene expression. In yeast, the acetyltransferase general control nonderepressible-5 (GCN5) targets histone H3 and associates with transcriptional co-activators alteration/deficiency in activation-2 (ADA2) and alteration/deficiency in activation-3 (ADA3) in complexes like SAGA. Arabidopsis thaliana has two genes encoding proteins, designated ADA3a and ADA3b, that correspond to yeast ADA3. We investigated the role of ADA3a and ADA3b in regulating gene expression during flowering time. Specifically, we found that knock out mutants ada3a-2 and the double mutant ada3a-2 ada3b-2 lead to early flowering compared to the wild type plants under long day (LD) conditions and after moving plants from short days to LD. Consistent with ADA3a being a repressor of floral initiation, FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) expression was increased in ada3a mutants. In contrast, other genes involved in multiple pathways leading to floral transition, including FT repressors, players in GA signaling, and members of the SPL transcriptional factors, displayed reduced expression. Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis revealed that ADA3a affects the histone H3K14 acetylation levels in SPL3, SPL5, RGA, GAI, and SMZ loci. In conclusion, ADA3a is involved in floral induction through a GCN5-containing complex that acetylates histone H3 in the chromatin of flowering related genes.

Abstract
In eukaryotic genomes, the transcription units of genes often overlap with other protein-coding and/or noncoding transcription units1,2. In such intertwined genomes, the coordinated transcription of nearby or overlapping genes would be important to ensure the integrity of genome function3-6; however, the mechanisms underlying this coordination are largely unknown. Here, we show in Arabidopsis thaliana that genes with convergent orientation of transcription are major sources of antisense transcripts and that these genes transcribed on both strands are regulated by a putative Lysine-Specific Demethylase 1 family histone demethylase, FLOWERING LOCUS D (FLD)7,8. Our genome-wide chromatin profiling revealed that FLD, as well as its associating factor LUMINIDEPENDENS9, downregulates histone H3K4me1 in regions with convergent overlapping transcription. FLD localizes to actively transcribed genes, where it colocalizes with elongating RNA polymerase II phosphorylated at the Ser2 or Ser5 sites. Genome-wide transcription analyses suggest that FLD-mediated H3K4me1 removal negatively regulates the transcription of genes with high levels of antisense transcription. Furthermore, the effect of FLD on transcription dynamics is antagonized by DNA topoisomerase I. Our study reveals chromatin-based mechanisms to cope with overlapping transcription, which may occur by modulating DNA topology. This global mechanism to cope with overlapping transcription could be co-opted for specific epigenetic processes, such as cellular memory of responses to the environment10.

Abstract
Transcription of protein-encoding genes starts with forming a pre-initiation complex comprised of RNA polymerase II and several general transcription factors. To activate gene expression, transcription factors must overcome repressive chromatin structure, which is accomplished with multiprotein complexes. One such complex, SAGA, modifies the nucleosomal histones through acetylation and other histone modifications. A prototypical histone acetyltransferase (HAT) known as general control non-repressed protein 5 (GCN5), was defined biochemically as the first transcription-linked HAT with specificity for histone H3 lysine 14. In this review, we analyze the components of the putative plant SAGA complex during plant evolution, and current knowledge on the biological role of the key components of the HAT module, GCN5 and ADA2b in plants, will be summarized.

Abstract
A mutation in Arabidopsis polycomb repressive complex 2 partially suppresses the transposon activity observed in a DNA methylation mutant, challenging expectations. In plants and mammals, DNA methylation and histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3), which is deposited by the polycomb repressive complex 2, are considered as two specialized systems for the epigenetic silencing of transposable element (TE) and genes, respectively. Nevertheless, many TE sequences acquire H3K27me3 when DNA methylation is lost. Here, we show in Arabidopsis thaliana that the gain of H3K27me3 observed at hundreds of TEs in the ddm1 mutant defective in the maintenance of DNA methylation, essentially depends on CURLY LEAF (CLF), one of two partially redundant H3K27 methyltransferases active in vegetative tissues. Surprisingly, the complete loss of H3K27me3 in ddm1 clf double mutant plants was not associated with further reactivation of TE expression nor with a burst of transposition. Instead, ddm1 clf plants exhibited less activated TEs, and a chromatin recompaction as well as hypermethylation of linker DNA compared with ddm1. Thus, a mutation in polycomb repressive complex 2 does not aggravate the molecular phenotypes linked to ddm1 but instead partially suppresses them, challenging our assumptions of the relationship between two conserved epigenetic silencing pathways.

Abstract
Photomorphogenesis is a critical developmental process bridging light-regulated transcriptional reprogramming with morphological changes in organisms. Strikingly, the chromatin-based transcriptional control of photomorphogenesis remains poorly understood. Here, we show that the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) ortholog of ATP-dependent chromatin-remodeling factor AtINO80 represses plant photomorphogenesis. Loss of AtINO80 inhibited hypocotyl cell elongation and caused anthocyanin accumulation. Both light-induced genes and dark-induced genes were affected in the atino80 mutant. Genome-wide occupancy of the H2A.Z histone variant and levels of histone H3 were reduced in atino80 In particular, AtINO80 bound the gene body of ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL 5 (HY5), resulting in lower chromatin incorporations of H2A.Z and H3 at HY5 in atino80 Genetic analysis revealed that AtINO80 acts in a phytochrome B- and HY5-dependent manner in the regulation of photomorphogenesis. Together, our study elucidates a mechanism wherein AtINO80 modulates nucleosome density and H2A.Z incorporation and represses the transcription of light-related genes, such as HY5, to fine tune plant photomorphogenesis.

Abstract
Background Histone H2B deubiquitination is performed by numerous deubiquitinases in eukaryotic cells including Ubp8, the catalytic subunit of the tetrameric deubiquitination module (DUBm: Ubp8; Sus1; Sgf11; Sgf73) of the Spt-Ada-Gcn5 acetyltransferase (SAGA). Ubp8 is linked to the rest of SAGA through Sgf73 and is activated by the adaptors Sus1 and Sgf11. It is unknown if DUBm/Ubp8 might also work in a SAGA-independent manner. Results Here we report that a tetrameric DUBm is assembled independently of the SAGA–CORE components SPT7, ADA1 and SPT20. In the absence of SPT7, i.e., independent of the SAGA complex, Ubp8 and Sus1 are poorly recruited to SAGA-dependent genes and to chromatin. Notably, cells lacking Spt7 or Ada1, but not Spt20, show lower levels of nuclear Ubp8 than wild-type cells, suggesting a possible role for SAGA–CORE subunits in Ubp8 localization. Last, deletion of SPT7 leads to defects in Ubp8 deubiquitinase activity in in vivo and in vitro assays. Conclusions Collectively, our studies show that the DUBm tetrameric structure can form without a complete intact SAGA–CORE complex and that it includes full-length Sgf73. However, subunits of this SAGA–CORE influence DUBm association with chromatin, its localization and its activity.

Abstract
Besides chemical modification of histone proteins, chromatin dynamics can be modulated by histone variants. Most organisms possess multiple genes encoding for core histone proteins, which are highly similar in amino acid sequence. The Arabidopsis thaliana genome contains 11 genes encoding for histone H2B (HTBs), 13 for H2A (HTAs), 15 for H3 (HTRs), and 8 genes encoding for histone H4 (HFOs). The finding that histone variants may be expressed in specific tissues and/or during specific developmental stages, often displaying specific nuclear localization and involvement in specific nuclear processes suggests that histone variants have evolved to carry out specific functions in regulating chromatin structure and function and might be important for better understanding of growth and development and particularly the response to stress. In this review, we will elaborate on a group of core histone proteins in Arabidopsis, namely histone H2B, summarize existing data, and illuminate the potential function of H2B variants in regulating chromatin structure and function in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Abstract
The Spt-Ada-Gcn5 Acetyltransferase (SAGA) chromatin modifying complex is a critical regulator of gene expression and is highly conserved across species. Subunits of SAGA arrange into discrete modules with lysine aceyltransferase and deubiquitinase activities housed separately. Mutation of the SAGA deubiquitinase module can lead to substantial biological misfunction and diseases such as cancer, neurodegeneration, and blindness. Here, we review the structure and functions of the SAGA deubiquitinase module and regulatory mechanisms acting to control these.

Abstract
Light and temperature shape the developmental trajectory and morphology of plants. Changes in chromatin organization and nuclear architecture can modulate gene expression and lead to short- and long-term plant adaptation to the environment. Here, we review recent reports investigating how changes in chromatin composition, structure, and topology modulate gene expression in response to fluctuating light and temperature conditions resulting in developmental and physiological responses. Furthermore, the potential application of novel revolutionary techniques, such Hi-C, RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and padlock-FISH, to study the impact of environmental stimuli such as light and temperature on nuclear compartmentalization in plants is discussed.

Abstract
The developmental program by which plants respond is tightly controlled by a complex cascade in which photoreceptors perceive and transduce the light signals that drive signaling processes and direct the transcriptional reprogramming, yielding specific cellular responses. The molecular mechanisms involved in the transcriptional regulation include light-regulated nuclear localization (the phytochromes and UVR8) and nuclear accumulation (the cryptochrome, cry2) of photoreceptors. This regulatory cascade also includes master regulatory transcription factors (TFs) that bridge photoreceptor activation with chromatin remodeling and regulate the expression of numerous light-responsive genes. Light signaling-related TFs often function as signal convergence points in concert with TFs in other signaling pathways to integrate complex endogenous and environmental cues that help the plant adapt to the surrounding environment. Increasing evidence suggests that chromatin modifications play a critical role in regulating light-responsive gene expression and provide an additional layer of light signaling regulation. Here, we provide an overview of our current knowledge of the transcriptional regulatory network involved in the light response, particularly the roles of TFs and chromatin in regulating light-responsive gene expression.

Abstract
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of histone residues shape the landscape of gene expression by modulating the dynamic process of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcription. The contribution of particular histone modifications to the definition of distinct RNAPII transcription stages remains poorly characterized in plants. Chromatin immunoprecipitation combined with next-generation sequencing (ChIP-seq) resolves the genomic distribution of histone modifications. Here, we review histone PTM ChIP-seq data in Arabidopsis thaliana and find support for a Genomic Positioning System (GPS) that guides RNAPII transcription. We review the roles of histone PTM 'readers', 'writers', and 'erasers', with a focus on the regulation of gene expression and biological functions in plants. The distinct functions of RNAPII transcription during the plant transcription cycle may rely, in part, on the characteristic histone PTM profiles that distinguish transcription stages.

Abstract
From yeast to human, the Spt-Ada-GCN5-acetyltransferase (SAGA) gigantic complex modifies chromatin during RNA polymerase II initiation and elongation steps to facilitate transcription. Its enzymatic activity involves a histone acetyltransferase module (HATm) that acetylates multiple lysine residues on the N-terminal tails of histones H2B and H3 and a deubiquitination module (DUBm) that triggers co-transcriptional deubiquitination of histone H2B. With a few notable exceptions described in this review, most SAGA subunits identified in yeast and metazoa are present in plants. Studies from the last 20 years have unveiled that different SAGA subunits are involved in gene expression regulation during the plant life cycle and in response to various types of stress or environmental cues. Their functional analysis in the Arabidopsis thaliana model species is increasingly shedding light on their intrinsic properties and how they can themselves be regulated during plant adaptive responses. Recent biochemical studies have also uncovered multiple associations between plant SAGA and chromatin machineries linked to RNA Pol II transcription. Still, considerably less is known about the molecular links between SAGA or SAGA-like complexes and chromatin dynamics during transcription in Arabidopsis and other plant species. We summarize the emerging knowledge on plant SAGA complex composition and activity, with a particular focus on the best-characterized subunits from its HAT (such as GCN5) and DUB (such as UBP22) modules, and implication of these ensembles in plant development and adaptive responses.

Abstract
The histone acetyltransferase Gcn5 is conserved throughout eukaryotes where it functions as part of large multi-subunit transcriptional coactivator complexes that stimulate gene expression. Here, we describe how studies in the model insect Drosophila melanogaster have provided insight into the essential roles played by Gcn5 in the development of multicellular organisms. We outline the composition and activity of the four different Gcn5 complexes in Drosophila: the Spt-Ada-Gcn5 Acetyltransferase (SAGA), Ada2a-containing (ATAC), Ada2/Gcn5/Ada3 transcription activator (ADA), and Chiffon Histone Acetyltransferase (CHAT) complexes. Whereas the SAGA and ADA complexes are also present in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, ATAC has only been identified in other metazoa such as humans, and the CHAT complex appears to be unique to insects. Each of these Gcn5 complexes is nucleated by unique Ada2 homologs or splice isoforms that share conserved N-terminal domains, and differ only in their C-terminal domains. We describe the common and specialized developmental functions of each Gcn5 complex based on phenotypic analysis of mutant flies. In addition, we outline how gene expression studies in mutant flies have shed light on the different biological roles of each complex. Together, these studies highlight the key role that Drosophila has played in understanding the expanded biological function of Gcn5 in multicellular eukaryotes.

Abstract
The greening of etiolated seedlings is crucial for the growth and survival of plants. After reaching the soil surface and sunlight, etiolated seedlings integrate numerous environmental signals and internal cues to control the initiation and rate of greening thus to improve their survival and adaption. However, the underlying regulatory mechanisms by which light and phytohormones, such as abscisic acid (ABA), coordinately regulate greening of the etiolated seedlings is still unknown. In this study, we showed that Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) DE-ETIOLATED1 (DET1), a key negative regulator of photomorphogenesis, positively regulated light-induced greening by repressing ABA responses. Upon irradiating etiolated seedlings with light, DET1 physically interacts with FAR-RED ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL3 (FHY3) and subsequently associates to the promoter region of the FHY3 direct downstream target ABA INSENSITIVE5 (ABI5). Further, DET1 recruits HISTONE DEACETYLASE6 to the locus of the ABI5 promoter and reduces the enrichments of H3K27ac and H3K4me3 modification, thus subsequently repressing ABI5 expression and promoting the greening of etiolated seedlings. This study reveals the physiological and molecular function of DET1 and FHY3 in the greening of seedlings and provides insights into the regulatory mechanism by which plants integrate light and ABA signals to fine-tune early seedling establishment.

Abstract
Plants have adapted to tolerate and survive constantly changing environmental conditions by reprogramming gene expression in response to stress or to drive developmental transitions. Among the many signals that plants perceive, light and temperature are of particular interest due to their intensely fluctuating nature which is combined with a long-term seasonal trend. Whereas specific receptors are key in the light-sensing mechanism, the identity of plant thermosensors for high and low temperatures remains far from fully addressed. This review aims at discussing common as well as divergent characteristics of gene expression regulation in plants, controlled by light and temperature. Light and temperature signaling control the abundance of specific transcription factors, as well as the dynamics of co-transcriptional processes such as RNA polymerase elongation rate and alternative splicing patterns. Additionally, sensing both types of cues modulates gene expression by altering the chromatin landscape and through the induction of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). However, while light sensing is channeled through dedicated receptors, temperature can broadly affect chemical reactions inside plant cells. Thus, direct thermal modifications of the transcriptional machinery add another level of complexity to plant transcriptional regulation. Besides the rapid transcriptome changes that follow perception of environmental signals, plant developmental transitions and acquisition of stress tolerance depend on long-term maintenance of transcriptional states (active or silenced genes). Thus, the rapid transcriptional response to the signal (Phase I) can be distinguished from the long-term memory of the acquired transcriptional state (Phase II - remembering the signal). In this review we discuss recent advances in light and temperature signal perception, integration and memory in Arabidopsis thaliana, focusing on transcriptional regulation and highlighting the contrasting and unique features of each type of cue in the process.

Abstract
Seeds are central to plant life cycle and to human nutrition, functioning as the major supplier of human population energy intake. To understand better the roles of enzymic writers and erasers of the epigenetic marks, in particular, histone ubiquitylation and the corresponding histone modifiers, involved in control of seed development, we identified the otubain-like cysteine protease OTU1 as a histone deubiquitinase involved in transcriptional repression of the DA1 and DA2 genes known to regulate seed and organ size in Arabidopsis. Loss-of-function mutants of OTU1 accumulate H2B monoubiquitylation and such euchromatic marks as H3 trimethylation and hyperacetylation in the DA1 and DA2 chromatin. These data advance our knowledge about epigenetic regulation of the DA1 and DA2 genes by recognizing OTU1 as a member of a putative repressor complex that negatively regulates their transcription. Histone ubiquitylation regulates transcription of DA1/DA2 that control seed/organ size OTU1 deubiquitinase is involved in deubiquitylation of the DA1/DA2 chromatin OTU1 acts as an epigenetic transcriptional repressor of the DA1/DA2 genes OTU1 is nucleocytoplasmic, indicating involvement in nuclear and cytoplasmic processes

Abstract
As one type of deubiquitinases (DUBs), ubiquitin-specific proteases (UBPs) play an extensive and significant role in plant life involving the regulation of plant development and stress responses. However, comprehensive studies are still needed to determine the functional mechanisms, which are largely unclear. Here, we summarized recent progress of plant UBPs' functional partners, particularly the molecular mechanisms by which UBPs work with their partners. We believe that functional analyses of UBPs and their partners will provide new insights into protein deubiquitination and lead to a better understanding of the physiological roles of UBPs in plants.

Abstract
Plant somatic cells reprogram and regenerate new tissues or organs when they are severely damaged. These physiological processes are associated with dynamic transcriptional responses but how chromatin-based regulation contributes to wound-induced gene expression changes and subsequent cellular reprogramming remains unknown. In this study we investigate the temporal dynamics of the histone modifications H3K9/14ac, H3K27ac, H3K4me3, H3K27me3, and H3K36me3, and analyze their correlation with gene expression at early time points after wounding. We show that a majority of the few thousand genes rapidly induced by wounding are marked with H3K9/14ac and H3K27ac before and/or shortly after wounding, and these include key wound-inducible reprogramming genes such as WIND1, ERF113/RAP2.6 L and LBD16. Our data further demonstrate that inhibition of GNAT-MYST-mediated histone acetylation strongly blocks wound-induced transcriptional activation as well as callus formation at wound sites. This study thus uncovered a key epigenetic mechanism that underlies wound-induced cellular reprogramming in plants.

Abstract
The largest group of deubiquitinases-ubiquitin-specific proteases (UBPs)-perform extensive and significant roles in plants, including the regulation of development and stress responses. A comprehensive analysis of UBP genes has been performed in Arabidopsis thaliana, but no systematic study has been conducted in moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis). In this study, the genome-wide identification, classification, gene, protein, promoter region characterization, divergence time, and expression pattern analyses of the UBPs in moso bamboo were conducted. In total, 48 putative UBP genes were identified in moso bamboo, which were divided into 14 distinct subfamilies in accordance with a comparative phylogenetic analysis using 132 full-length protein sequences, including 48, 27, 25, and 32 sequences from moso bamboo, A. thaliana, rice (Oryza sativa), and purple false brome (Brachypodium distachyon), respectively. Analyses of the evolutionary patterns and divergence levels revealed that the PeUBP genes experienced a duplication event approximately 15 million years ago and that the divergence between PeUBP and OsUBP occurred approximately 27 million years ago. Additionally, several PeUBP members were significantly upregulated under abscisic acid, methyl jasmonate, and salicylic acid treatments, indicating their potential roles in abiotic stress responses in plants.

Arabidopsis S2Lb links AtCOMPASS-like and SDG2 activity in H3K4me3 independently from histone H2B monoubiquitination. Genome Biol 2019; 20:100.

Abstract
Background The functional determinants of H3K4me3, their potential dependency on histone H2B monoubiquitination, and their contribution to defining transcriptional regimes are poorly defined in plant systems. Unlike in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, where a single SET1 protein catalyzes H3K4me3 as part of COMPlex of proteins ASsociated with Set1 (COMPASS), in Arabidopsis thaliana, this activity involves multiple histone methyltransferases. Among these, the plant-specific SET DOMAIN GROUP 2 (SDG2) has a prominent role. Results We report that SDG2 co-regulates hundreds of genes with SWD2-like b (S2Lb), a plant ortholog of the Swd2 axillary subunit of yeast COMPASS. We show that S2Lb co-purifies with the AtCOMPASS core subunit WDR5, and both S2Lb and SDG2 directly influence H3K4me3 enrichment over highly transcribed genes. S2Lb knockout triggers pleiotropic developmental phenotypes at the vegetative and reproductive stages, including reduced fertility and seed dormancy. However, s2lb seedlings display little transcriptomic defects as compared to the large repertoire of genes targeted by S2Lb, SDG2, or H3K4me3, suggesting that H3K4me3 enrichment is important for optimal gene induction during cellular transitions rather than for determining on/off transcriptional status. Moreover, unlike in budding yeast, most of the S2Lb and H3K4me3 genomic distribution does not rely on a trans-histone crosstalk with histone H2B monoubiquitination. Conclusions Collectively, this study unveils that the evolutionarily conserved COMPASS-like complex has been co-opted by the plant-specific SDG2 histone methyltransferase and mediates H3K4me3 deposition through an H2B monoubiquitination-independent pathway in Arabidopsis.
