主　　题：DNA demethylation DNA methylation methyl-DNA binding ROS1 WD40 domain 

摘      要：Active DNA demethylation is critical for altering DNA methylation patterns and regulating gene *** 5-methylcytosine DNA glycosylase/lyase ROS1 initiates a base-excision repair pathway for active DNA demethylation and is required for the prevention of DNA hypermethylation at 1000 s of genomic regions in *** ROS1 is regulated and targeted to specific genomic regions is not well ***,we report the discovery of an Arabidopsis protein complex that contains ROS1,regulates ROS1 gene expression,and likely targets the ROS1 protein to specific genomic ***1 physically interacts with a WD40 domain protein(RWD40),which in turn interacts with a methyl-DNA binding protein(RMB1)as well as with a zinc finger and homeobox domain protein(RHD1).RMB1 binds to DNA that is methylated in any sequence context,and this binding is necessary for its function in ***-of-function mutations in RWD40,RMB1,or RHD1 cause DNA hypermethylation at several tested genomic regions independently of the known ROS1 regulator *** the hypermethylated genomic regions include the DNA methylation monitoring sequence in the ROS1 promoter,plants mutated in RWD40,RMB1,or RHD1 show increased ROS1 ***,ROS1 binding to the ROS1 promoter requires RWD40,RMB1,and RHD1,suggesting that this complex dictates ROS1 targeting to this *** results demonstrate that ROS1 forms a protein complex with RWD40,RMB1,and RHD1,and that this novel complex regulates active DNA demethylation at several endogenous loci in Arabidopsis.
