This RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) pathway preferentially targets euchromatic transposable elements. However, RdDM is thought to be recruited by methylation of histone H3 at lysine 9 (H3K9me), a hallmark of heterochromatin. How RdDM is targeted to euchromatin despite an affinity for H3K9me is unclear. Here we show that loss of histone H1 enhances heterochromatic RdDM, preferentially at nucleosome linker DNA. Surprisingly, this does not require SHH1, the RdDM component that binds H3K9me. Furthermore, H3K9me is dispensable for RdDM, as is CG DNA methylation. Instead, we find that non-CG methylation is specifically associated with small RNA biogenesis, and without H1 small RNA production quantitatively expands to non-CG methylated loci. Our results demonstrate that H1 enforces the separation of euchromatic and heterochromatic DNA methylation pathways by excluding the small RNA-generating branch of RdDM from non-CG methylated heterochromatin.","lang":"eng"}],"department":[{"_id":"DaZi"}],"day":"01","type":"journal_article","file":[{"checksum":"22ed4c55fb550f6da02ae55c359be651","relation":"main_file","content_type":"application/pdf","access_level":"open_access","creator":"dernst","file_name":"2021_eLife_Choi.pdf","date_updated":"2022-05-16T10:42:22Z","success":1,"file_id":"11384","date_created":"2022-05-16T10:42:22Z","file_size":2715200}],"date_updated":"2023-08-17T06:21:08Z","pmid":1,"tmp":{"image":"/images/cc_by.png","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","short":"CC BY (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode"},"month":"12","article_processing_charge":"No"}
