Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We found that DNA damage induces cellular reprogramming from differentiated leaf cells to protonema stem cells without cell death in the moss Physcomitrella patens. This project aimed at understanding the molecular mechanism underlying this phenomenon. We found that a DNA repair-related factor and wounding-induced reprogramming factors are necessary for the DNA damage-induced reprogramming. In addition, another DNA damage-related factor was involved in the regulation of chromatin structure during the sperm formation. These results indicate that DNA damage-induced reprogramming is mediated by DNA repair- and wounding-induced reprogramming pathways, and that DNA damage also contributes to the sperm formation, one of the developmental processes embracing cellular reprogramming.
