<p>The first description of what would come to be called paramutation was given by <a href="William_Bateson" title="William Bateson">William Bateson</a> and <a href="Caroline_Pellew" title="Caroline Pellew">Caroline Pellew</a> in 1915, when they described "rogue" <a href="Pea" title="Pea">peas</a> that always passed their "rogue" phenotype onto their progeny.<sup id="cite_ref-:6_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:6-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, the first formal description of paramutation was given by <a href="Royal_Alexander_Brink" title="Royal Alexander Brink">R.A. Brink</a> at the <a href="University_of_Wisconsin%E2%80%93Madison" title="University of Wisconsin–Madison">University of Wisconsin–Madison</a> in the 1950s, who did his work in <a href="Maize" title="Maize">maize</a> (<i>Zea mays</i>).<sup id="cite_ref-:6_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:6-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Brink noticed that specific weakly expressed alleles of the <i>red1</i> <i>(r1)</i> locus in maize, which encodes a <a href="Transcription_factor" title="Transcription factor">transcription factor</a> that confers red pigment to <a href="Corn_kernels" class="mw-redirect" title="Corn kernels">corn kernels</a>, can heritably change specific strongly expressed alleles to a weaker <a href="Gene_expression" title="Gene expression">expression</a> state.<sup id="cite_ref-:2_1-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:2-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The weaker expression state adopted by the changed allele is heritable and can, in turn, change the expression state of other active alleles in a process termed secondary paramutation.<sup id="cite_ref-:2_1-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:2-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Brink showed that the influence of the paramutagenic allele could persist for many generations.<sup id="cite_ref-:2_1-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:2-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Description">Description</h2></div>
<p>The alleles that cause <a href="Heritability" title="Heritability">heritable</a> changes in the alleles they come into contact which are called paramutagenic, and the alleles modified by them are paramutable. Alleles that do not take part in this interaction are called neutral. When present together in an organism, the paramutable allele is converted to the paramutagenic allele, and retains its paramutagenicity in subsequent generations. No change in DNA sequence accompanies this transformation, but instead epigenetic modifications (e.g. DNA methylation) differentiate the paramutagenic from paramutable alleles. In most cases, it is the paramutable allele that is highly transcribed and the paramutagenic allele that undergoes little to no transcription.
</p><p>The first described and most extensively researched example is the <i>r1</i> locus in maize. The <a href="Gene" title="Gene">gene</a> at this locus, when actively transcribed, codes for a <a href="Transcription_factor" title="Transcription factor">transcription factor</a> that promotes <a href="Anthocyanin" title="Anthocyanin">anthocyanin</a> production, resulting in kernels with a purple color. One <a href="Allele" title="Allele">allele</a> at this locus, referred to as B’, is capable of causing methylation at the other allele, B-I. This methylation results in reduced transcription and, as a result, decreased <a href="Anthocyanin" title="Anthocyanin">anthocyanin</a> production. These alleles do not differ in DNA sequence, but they do differ in their degree of <a href="DNA_methylation" title="DNA methylation">DNA methylation</a>. As with other examples of paramutation, this change of the B-I allele to the B’ allele is stable and heritable. Other, similar examples of paramutation exist at other <a href="Maize" title="Maize">maize</a> loci, as well as in other plants such as the model system <i><a href="Arabidopsis_thaliana" title="Arabidopsis thaliana">Arabidopsis thaliana</a></i> and <a href="Genetically_modified_organism" title="Genetically modified organism">transgenic</a> <a href="Petunia" title="Petunia">petunias</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:0_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Paramutation has also been documented in animals such as <a href="Drosophila_melanogaster" title="Drosophila melanogaster">fruit flies</a>, <i><a href="Caenorhabditis_elegans" title="Caenorhabditis elegans">C. elegans</a></i>, and <a href="Mouse" title="Mouse">mice</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-:2_1-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:2-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:5_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:5-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:1_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Mechanism">Mechanism</h2></div>
<p>Though the specific mechanisms by which paramutation acts vary from organism to organism, all well-documented cases point towards epigenetic modification and RNA-silencing as the underlying mechanism for paramutation.<sup id="cite_ref-:2_1-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:2-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>In the case of the <i>r1</i> locus in maize, <a href="DNA_methylation" title="DNA methylation">DNA methylation</a> of a region of <a href="Tandem_repeat" title="Tandem repeat">tandem repeats</a> near the coding region of the gene is characteristic of the paramutagenic B’ allele, and when the paramutable B-I allele becomes paramutagenic, it too takes on the same DNA methylation pattern.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In order for this methylation to be successfully transferred, a number of genes coding for <a href="RNA-dependent_RNA_polymerase" title="RNA-dependent RNA polymerase">RNA-dependent RNA polymerases</a> and other components of <a href="RNA_silencing" title="RNA silencing">RNA-silencing</a> pathways are required, suggesting that paramutation is mediated via endogenous RNA-silencing pathways.<sup id="cite_ref-:2_1-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:2-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The transcription of <a href="Short_interfering_RNA" class="mw-redirect" title="Short interfering RNA">short interfering RNAs</a> from the tandem repeat regions corroborates this. In animal systems such as <i>Drosophila</i>, <a href="Piwi-interacting_RNA" title="Piwi-interacting RNA">piRNAs</a> have also been implicated in mediating paramutation. In that case, paramutation can occur in absence of any possible pairing between the paramutagenic and the paramutated loci and can be stable other more than 50 generations.<sup id="cite_ref-:5_4-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:5-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In addition to the characteristic <a href="DNA_methylation" title="DNA methylation">DNA methylation</a> state changes, changes in <a href="Histone_modification" class="mw-redirect" title="Histone modification">histone modification</a> patterns in the methylated DNA regions, and/or the requirement of histone modifying proteins to mediate paramutation have also been noted in multiple systems.<sup id="cite_ref-:3_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:3-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:1_9-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It has been suggested that these histone modifications play a role in maintaining the paramutated state.<sup id="cite_ref-:3_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:3-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The previously mentioned <a href="Tandem_repeat" title="Tandem repeat">tandem repeat</a> region in the <i>r1</i> locus is also typical of other loci showing paramutation or paramutation-like phenomena.<sup id="cite_ref-:6_5-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:6-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>However, it has been noted that it is not possible to explain all occurrences and features of paramutation with what is known about RNAi-mediated transcriptional silencing, suggesting that other pathways and/or mechanisms are also at play.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Implications">Implications</h2></div>
<p>It has been speculated that in any particular population, relatively few genes would show observable paramutation since the high <a href="Penetrance" title="Penetrance">penetrance</a> of paramutagenic alleles (like B’ at the <i>r1</i> locus in maize) would drive either the paramutagenic or paramutable allele to <a href="Fixation_(population_genetics)" title="Fixation (population genetics)">fixation</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-:4_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:4-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Paramutation at other loci with paramutagenic alleles with lower penetrance may persist, however, which may need to be taken into account by <a href="Plant_breeding" title="Plant breeding">plant breeders</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-:4_3-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:4-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Since there are examples of paramutation, or paramutation-like phenomena, in animals such as fruit flies and mice, it has been suggested that paramutation may explain the occurrence of some human <a href="Disease" title="Disease">diseases</a> that exhibit <a href="Non-Mendelian_inheritance" title="Non-Mendelian inheritance">non-Mendelian inheritance patterns</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
