  - Cytosine DNA methylation regulates the expression of eukaryotic genes and transposons.
    Methylation is copied by methyltransferases after DNA replication, which results
    in faithful transmission of methylation patterns during cell division and, at
    least in flowering plants, across generations. Transgenerational inheritance is
    mediated by a small group of cells that includes gametes and their progenitors.
    However, methylation is usually analyzed in somatic tissues that do not contribute
    to the next generation, and the mechanisms of transgenerational inheritance are
    inferred from such studies. To gain a better understanding of how DNA methylation
    is inherited, we analyzed purified Arabidopsis thaliana sperm and vegetative cells-the
    cell types that comprise pollen-with mutations in the DRM, CMT2, and CMT3 methyltransferases.
    We find that DNA methylation dependency on these enzymes is similar in sperm,
    vegetative cells, and somatic tissues, although DRM activity extends into heterochromatin
    in vegetative cells, likely reflecting transcription of heterochromatic transposons
    in this cell type. We also show that lack of histone H1, which elevates heterochromatic
    DNA methylation in somatic tissues, does not have this effect in pollen. Instead,
    levels of CG methylation in wild-type sperm and vegetative cells, as well as in
    wild-type microspores from which both pollen cell types originate, are substantially
    higher than in wild-type somatic tissues and similar to those of H1-depleted roots.
    Our results demonstrate that the mechanisms of methylation maintenance are similar
    between pollen and somatic cells, but the efficiency of CG methylation is higher
    in pollen, allowing methylation patterns to be accurately inherited across generations.@eng
