Here we explore experimentally the implications of this log-sensing behavior, on the basis of a hydrogel microfluidic device allowing to build spatially and temporally controlled gradients. We first demonstrate that the non-linearity of the salt-taxis leads to a trapping of particles under concentration gradient oscillations via a rectification of the motion. As an alternative, we make use of the high sensitivity of diffusiophoretic migration to vanishing salt concentration due to the log-sensing: in a counter-intuitive way, a vanishing gradient can lead to measurable velocity provided that the solute concentration is low enough, thus keeping ∇c/c finite. We show that this leads to a strong segregation of particles in osmotic shock configuration, resulting from a step change of the salt concentration at the boundaries. These various phenomena are rationalized on the basis of a theoretical description for the time-dependent Smoluchowski equation for the colloidal density.' article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Jérémie A full_name: Palacci, Jérémie A id: 8fb92548-2b22-11eb-b7c1-a3f0d08d7c7d last_name: Palacci orcid: 0000-0002-7253-9465 - first_name: Cécile full_name: Cottin-Bizonne, Cécile last_name: Cottin-Bizonne - first_name: Christophe full_name: Ybert, Christophe last_name: Ybert - first_name: Lydéric full_name: Bocquet, Lydéric last_name: Bocquet citation: ama: Palacci JA, Cottin-Bizonne C, Ybert C, Bocquet L.

Loss of function mutants in the EMF1 gene mimic the phenotype caused by mutations in Polycomb Group protein (PcG) genes, which encode epigenetic repressors that regulate many aspects of eukaryotic development. In Arabidopsis, Polycomb Repressor Complex 2 (PRC2), made of PcG proteins, catalyzes trimethylation of lysine 27 on histone H3 (H3K27me3) and PRC1-like proteins catalyze H2AK119 ubiquitination. Despite functional similarity to PcG proteins, EMF1 lacks sequence homology with known PcG proteins; thus, its role in the PcG mechanism is unclear. To study the EMF1 functions and its mechanism of action, we performed genome-wide mapping of EMF1 binding and H3K27me3 modification sites in Arabidopsis seedlings. The EMF1 binding pattern is similar to that of H3K27me3 modification on the chromosomal and genic level. ChIPOTLe peak finding and clustering analyses both show that the highly trimethylated genes also have high enrichment levels of EMF1 binding, termed EMF1_K27 genes. EMF1 interacts with regulatory genes, which are silenced to allow vegetative growth, and with genes specifying cell fates during growth and differentiation. H3K27me3 marks not only these genes but also some genes that are involved in endosperm development and maternal effects. Transcriptome analysis, coupled with the H3K27me3 pattern, of EMF1_K27 genes in emf1 and PRC2 mutants showed that EMF1 represses gene activities via diverse mechanisms and plays a novel role in the PcG mechanism. article_number: e1002512 article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Sang Yeol full_name: Kim, Sang Yeol last_name: Kim - first_name: Jungeun full_name: Lee, Jungeun last_name: Lee - first_name: Leor full_name: Eshed-Williams, Leor last_name: Eshed-Williams - first_name: Daniel full_name: Zilberman, Daniel id: 6973db13-dd5f-11ea-814e-b3e5455e9ed1 last_name: Zilberman orcid: 0000-0002-0123-8649 - first_name: Z.

H2A.Z, one of the most conserved but enigmatic histone variants that is enriched at the transcriptional start sites of genes, has been implicated in a variety of chromosomal processes. Recently, we reported a genome-wide anticorrelation between H2A.Z and DNA methylation, an epigenetic hallmark of heterochromatin that has also been found in the bodies of active genes in plants and animals. Here, we investigate the basis of this anticorrelation using a novel h2a.z loss-of-function line in Arabidopsis thaliana. Through genome-wide bisulfite sequencing, we demonstrate that loss of H2A.Z in Arabidopsis has only a minor effect on the level or profile of DNA methylation in genes, and we propose that the global anticorrelation between DNA methylation and H2A.Z is primarily caused by the exclusion of H2A.Z from methylated DNA. RNA sequencing and genomic mapping of H2A.Z show that H2A.Z enrichment across gene bodies, rather than at the TSS, is correlated with lower transcription levels and higher measures of gene responsiveness. Loss of H2A.Z causes misregulation of many genes that are disproportionately associated with response to environmental and developmental stimuli. We propose that H2A.Z deposition in gene bodies promotes variability in levels and patterns of gene expression, and that a major function of genic DNA methylation is to exclude H2A.Z from constitutively expressed genes. article_number: e1002988 article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Devin full_name: Coleman-Derr, Devin last_name: Coleman-Derr - first_name: Daniel full_name: Zilberman, Daniel id: 6973db13-dd5f-11ea-814e-b3e5455e9ed1 last_name: Zilberman orcid: 0000-0002-0123-8649 citation: ama: Coleman-Derr D, Zilberman D.

Remarkable progress has been made over the last few years in elucidating the mechanisms for a number of these functions. Activity of the histone demethylase IBM1 accurately targets DNA methylation to silent repeats and transposable elements, not to genes. A genetic screen uncovered the surprising role of H2A.Z-containing nucleosomes in sensing precise differences in ambient temperature and consequent gene regulation. Precise maintenance of chromosome number is assured by a histone modification that suppresses inappropriate DNA replication and by centromeric histone H3 regulation of chromosome segregation. Histones and noncoding RNAs regulate FLOWERING LOCUS C, the expression of which quantitatively measures the duration of cold exposure, functioning as memory of winter. These findings are a testament to the power of using plants to research chromatin organization, and demonstrate examples of how chromatin functions to achieve biological accuracy, precision, and memory. article_processing_charge: No article_type: review author: - first_name: Jason T. full_name: Huff, Jason T. last_name: Huff - first_name: Daniel full_name: Zilberman, Daniel id: 6973db13-dd5f-11ea-814e-b3e5455e9ed1 last_name: Zilberman orcid: 0000-0002-0123-8649 citation: ama: Huff JT, Zilberman D.
