Summary of 5mCs, C-to-T mutations and transcriptional profiles in three representative chromosomal segments

Vegetative growtha Sexual developmentb
Representative chromosomal segment (RCS) Chromosomal location in QM6a Transcription profiles Long (>500 bps) AT-rich DNA 5mCs C-to-T mutations 5mCs C-to-T mutations
RCS1-GTX ChXI GTX-BGC ±10 000 bp Genes upregulated during sexual development 0 rare rare dim2 dim2

aDim2 is responsible for 5mCs at RSC3-AT in wild-type and rid1Δ vegetative mycelia, whereas C-to-T mutations were hardly detected at RCS1-GTX, RCS2-SOR and RCS3-AT in vegetative mycelia.

bOnly Dim2 is responsible for 5mCs at RCS1-GTX and RCS2-SOR in the wild-type and rid1Δ fruiting bodies, whereas Dim2, Rid1 and DimX act redundantly to mediate 5mCs and C-to-T mutations at RCS3-AT in the fruiting bodies.
