H2A.Zub repressive effect is independent of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 activity. a Western blot showing global H3K27me3 levels in wild-type (WT) and hta9hta11 mutants at 7 days after germination (DAG). The same blot was probed with anti-H4 antibody for loading control. Bottom bar chart shows quantification of H3K27me3 levels relative to H4. Error bars indicate standard deviation of n = 4 independent experiments. Data points are indicated in the bar charts. No significant (ns) differences between WT and hta9hta11 were found according to Student’s t test. b Left panel, Venn diagram showing the percentage of upregulated genes in hta9hta11 and atbmi1a/b weak that were enriched in H2A.Z and H3K27me3 marked in WT (H2A.Z/H3K27me3_WT) at 7 DAG. Right panel, Venn diagram showing the overlap between genes downregulated in hta9hta11 and H2A.Z/H3K27me3_WT genes. c H3K27me3 levels analyzed by chromatin immunoprecipitation–quantitative polymerase chain reaction at ATG surrounding region of several upregulated and downregulated genes in hta9hta11 that were H2A.Z/H3K27me3_WT (genes from overlaps of b). The levels were normalized to ACTIN7 (ACT7). Error bars indicate standard deviation of n = 3 biological replicates. Data points are indicated in the bar charts. No significant (ns) differences between WT and hta9hta11 were found according to Student’s t test. d Venn diagram showing the overlap between the H2A.Z-enriched genes that are upregulated in hta9hta11 and the ones upregulated in fie mutants.
