Fig 9. A model for the transgenerational heterochromatin redistribution.

Fig 9

The cylinder indicates a nucleosome. Red dots above the nucleosome indicate methylation of H3K9. Red and blue lines indicate DNA with and without non-CG methylation, respectively. The CMTs are non-CG methylases, such as CMT3 and CMT2 [10,11]. SUVHs are H3K9 methylases, such as SUVH4/KYP, SUVH5 and SUVH6 [75]. In both WT and ddm1 mutant plants, the histone demethylase IBM1 removes H3K9me from transcribed genes.
