Active DNA demethylation in plants occurs through base excision repair, beginning with removal of methylated cytosine by the ROS1/DME subfamily of 5-methylcytosine DNA glycosylases. Active DNA demethylation in animals requires the DNA glycosylase TDG or MBD4, which functions after oxidation or deamination of 5-methylcytosine, respectively. However, little is known about the steps following DNA glycosylase action in the active DNA demethylation pathways in plants and animals. We show here that the Arabidopsis APE1L protein has apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease activities and functions downstream of ROS1 and DME. APE1L and ROS1 interact in vitro and co-localize in vivo. Whole genome bisulfite sequencing of ape1l mutant plants revealed widespread alterations in DNA methylation. We show that the ape1l/zdp double mutant displays embryonic lethality. Notably, the ape1l+/−zdp−/− mutant shows a maternal-effect lethality phenotype. APE1L and the DNA phosphatase ZDP are required for FWA and MEA gene imprinting in the endosperm and are important for seed development. Thus, APE1L is a new component of the active DNA demethylation pathway and, together with ZDP, regulates gene imprinting in Arabidopsis. DNA cytosine methylation (5-methylcytosine, 5-meC) is an important epigenetic mark, and methylation patterns are coordinately controlled by methylation and demethylation reactions during development and reproduction. In plants, REPRESSOR OF SILENCING (ROS1) is one of the well characterized 5-meC DNA glycosylases that initiate active DNA demethylation by 5-meC excision. Our previous work showed that a 3′-DNA phosphatase, ZDP, functions downstream of ROS1 during active DNA demethylation in Arabidopsis. Here we found that the apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease APE1L functions downstream of ROS1 in a ZDP-independent branch of the active DNA demethylation pathway in Arabidopsis. In plants, gene imprinting requires the 5-meC DNA glycosylase Demeter (DME) that has been proposed to initiate a base excision repair pathway for active DNA demethylation in the central cell in female gametophyte. However, besides DME, no other base excision repair enzymes have been found to be important for gene imprinting. Our results show that APE1L and ZDP act jointly downstream of DME to regulate gene imprinting in plants, and suggest that DME-initiated active DNA demethylation in the central cell and endosperm uses both APE- and ZDP-dependent mechanisms.
