Vol. 15, No. 5, pp. 591-602, March 1, 2001
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, New York 11724, USA
Robertson's Mutator transposable elements in maize undergo
cycles of activity and then inactivity that correlate with changes in
cytosine methylation. Mutator-like elements are present in the
Arabidopsis genome but are heavily methylated and inactive. These elements become demethylated and active in the
chromatin-remodeling mutant ddm1 (Decrease in
DNA Methylation), which leads to loss of
heterochromatic DNA methylation. Thus, DNA transposons in plants appear
to be regulated by chromatin remodeling. In inbred ddm1
strains, transposed elements may account, in part, for mutant
phenotypes unlinked to ddm1. Gene silencing and paramutation
are also regulated by DDM1, providing support for the
proposition that epigenetic silencing is related to transposon
regulation.
[Key Words: Transposable element; heterochromatin; epigenetic; DDM1]
