Control of DNA demethylation by superoxide anion in plant stem cells
Superoxide anion is thought to be a natural by-product with strong oxidizing ability in all living organisms and was recently found to accumulate in plant meristems to maintain stem cells in the shoot and undifferentiated meristematic cells in the root. Here we show that the DNA demethylase repressor of silencing 1 (ROS1) is one of the direct targets of superoxide in stem cells. The Fe–S clusters in ROS1 are oxidized by superoxide to activate its DNA glycosylase/lyase activity. We demonstrate that superoxide extensively participates in the establishment of active DNA demethylation in the Arabidopsis genome and that ARABIDOPSIS RESPONSE REGULATOR 12 acts downstream of ROS1-mediated superoxide signaling to maintain stem cell fate. Our results provide a mechanistic framework for superoxide control of the stem cell niche and demonstrate how redox and DNA demethylation interact to define stem cell fate in plants.
期刊介绍：
Nature Chemical Biology stands as an esteemed international monthly journal, offering a prominent platform for the chemical biology community to showcase top-tier original research and commentary. Operating at the crossroads of chemistry, biology, and related disciplines, chemical biology utilizes scientific ideas and approaches to comprehend and manipulate biological systems with molecular precision.
The journal embraces contributions from the growing community of chemical biologists, encompassing insights from chemists applying principles and tools to biological inquiries and biologists striving to comprehend and control molecular-level biological processes. We prioritize studies unveiling significant conceptual or practical advancements in areas where chemistry and biology intersect, emphasizing basic research, especially those reporting novel chemical or biological tools and offering profound molecular-level insights into underlying biological mechanisms.
Nature Chemical Biology also welcomes manuscripts describing applied molecular studies at the chemistry-biology interface due to the broad utility of chemical biology approaches in manipulating or engineering biological systems. Irrespective of scientific focus, we actively seek submissions that creatively blend chemistry and biology, particularly those providing substantial conceptual or methodological breakthroughs with the potential to open innovative research avenues. The journal maintains a robust and impartial review process, emphasizing thorough chemical and biological characterization.
