Both genetic and epigenetic information must be transferred from mother to daughter cells during cell division. The mechanisms through which information about chromatin states and epigenetic marks like histone 3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) are transferred have been characterized in animals; these processes are less well understood in plants. Here, based on characterization of a dwarf rice (Oryza sativa) mutant (dwarf-related wd40 protein 1,drw1) deficient for yeastCTF4(CHROMOSOME TRANSMISSION FIDELITY PROTEIN 4), we discovered thatCTF4orthologs in plants use common cellular machinery yet accomplish divergent functional outcomes. Specifically,drw1exhibited no flowering-related phenotypes (as in the putatively orthologousArabidopsis thaliana eol1mutant), but displayed cell cycle arrest and DNA damage responses. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that DRW1 sustains normal cell cycle progression by modulating the expression of cell cycle inhibitorsKIP-RELATED PROTEIN 1(KRP1) andKRP5, and show that these effects are mediated by DRW1 binding their promoters and increasing H3K27me3 levels. Thus, althoughCTF4orthologsENHANCER OF LHP1 1(EOL1) in Arabidopsis andDRW1in rice are both expressed uniquely in dividing cells, commonly interact with several Polycomb complex subunits, and promote H3K27me3 deposition, we now know that their regulatory functions diverged substantially during plant evolution. Moreover, our work experimentally illustrates specific targets of CTF4/EOL1/DRW1, their protein–proteininteraction partners, and their chromatin/epigenetic effects in plants.
