Evidence for cytosine methylation of non‐symmetrical sequences in transgenic Petunia hybrida
A considerable proportion of cytosine residues in plants are methylated at carbon 5. According to a well‐accepted rule, cytosine methylation is confined to symmetrical sequences such as CpG and CpNpG, which provide the signal for faithful transmission of symmetrical methylation patterns by maintenan...

description | A considerable proportion of cytosine residues in plants are methylated at carbon 5. According to a well‐accepted rule, cytosine methylation is confined to symmetrical sequences such as CpG and CpNpG, which provide the signal for faithful transmission of symmetrical methylation patterns by maintenance methylase. Using a genomic sequencing technique, we have analysed cytosine methylation patterns within a hypermethylated and a hypomethylated state of a transgene in Petunia hybrida. Examination of a part of the transgene promoter revealed that in both states m5C residues located within non‐symmetrical sequences could be detected. Non‐symmetrical C residues in the two states were methylated at frequencies of 5.9 and 31.9%, respectively. Methylation appeared to be distributed heterogeneously, but some DNA regions were more intensively methylated than others. Our results show that at least in a transgene, a heterogeneous methylation pattern, which does not depend on symmetry of target sequences, can be established and conserved. |
