Abstract

Limited methyl-specific restriction of genomic DNA by endonuclease MAL1 revealed the changes in its methyl status caused by adenine modification in maize ( L.) leaves under different light conditions (dark, light, irradiation by red and far-red light). Incubation in the light and irradiation by red light exhibited an activating effect on DNA adenine methylase activity, which was reflected in an increase in the number of methylated adenines in GATC sites. Far-red light and darkness exhibited an opposite effect. The use of nitrite conversion of DNA followed by methyladenine-dependent restriction by MboI nuclease revealed a phytochrome B-dependent mechanism of regulation of the methyl status of adenine in the GATC sites in the promoter of the gene encoding the mitochondrial isoform of citrate synthase. Irradiation of plants with red light caused changes in the adenine methyl status of the analyzed amplicon, as evidenced by the presence of restriction products of 290, 254, and 121 nucleotides. Adenine methylation occurred at all three GATC sites in the analyzed DNA sequence. It is concluded that adenylate methylation is controlled by phytochrome B via the transcription factor PIF4 and represents an important mechanism for the tricarboxylic acid cycle regulation by light.
