Molecular basis of chromatin remodelling by DDM1 involved in plant DNA methylation.
Nat.Plants, 10:374-380, 2024

PubMed Abstract: Eukaryotic gene regulation occurs at the chromatin level, which requires changing the chromatin structure by a group of ATP-dependent DNA translocases-namely, the chromatin remodellers. In plants, chromatin remodellers function in various biological processes and possess both conserved and plant-specific components. DECREASE IN DNA METHYLATION 1 (DDM1) is a plant chromatin remodeller that plays a key role in the maintenance DNA methylation. Here we determined the structures of Arabidopsis DDM1 in complex with nucleosome in ADP-BeF-bound, ADP-bound and nucleotide-free conformations. We show that DDM1 specifically recognizes the H4 tail and nucleosomal DNA. The conformational differences between ADP-BeF-bound, ADP-bound and nucleotide-free DDM1 suggest a chromatin remodelling cycle coupled to ATP binding, hydrolysis and ADP release. This, in turn, triggers conformational changes in the DDM1-bound nucleosomal DNA, which alters the nucleosome structure and promotes DNA sliding. Together, our data reveal the molecular basis of chromatin remodelling by DDM1.
