Digital Paradigm For Polycomb Epigenetic Switching And Memory
CURRENT OPINION IN PLANT BIOLOGY(2021)
摘要
How epigenetic memory states are established and maintained is a central question in gene regulation. A major epigenetic process important for developmental biology involves Polycomb-mediated chromatin silencing. Significant progress has recently been made on elucidating Polycomb silencing in plant systems through analysis of Arabidopsis FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC). Quantitative silencing of FLC by prolonged cold exposure was shown to represent an ON to OFF switch in an increasing proportion of cells. Here, we review the underlying all-or-nothing, digital paradigm for Polycomb epigenetic silencing. We then examine other Arabidopsis Polycomb-regulated targets where digital regulation may also be relevant.
