Project description:We profiled vsiRNAs using two different high-throughput sequencing platforms and also developed a hybridisation-based array approach. The profiles obtained through the Solexa platform and by hybridisation were very similar to each other but different from the 454 profile. Both deep sequencing techniques revealed a strong bias in vsiRNAs for the positive strand of the virus and identified regions on the viral genome that produced vsiRNA in much higher abundance than other regions. The hybridisation approach also showed that the position of highly abundant vsiRNAs were the same in different plant species and in the absence of RDR6. We used the TerminatorTM 5'-Phosphate-Dependent Exonuclease to study the 5' end of vsiRNAs and showed that a perfect control duplex was not digested by the enzyme without denaturation and that the efficiency of the Terminator was strongly affected by the concentration of the substrate. We found that most vsiRNAs have 5' monophosphates, which was also confirmed by profiling short RNA libraries following either direct ligation of adapters to the 5' end of short RNAs or after replacing any potential 5' ends with monophosphates. The Terminator experiments also showed that vsiRNAs were not perfect duplexes. Using a sensor construct we also found that regions from the viral genome that were not complementary to highly abundant vsiRNAs were targeted in planta just as efficiently as regions recognised by abundant vsiRNAs. Different high-throughput sequencing techniques have different reproducible sequence bias and generate different profiles of short RNAs. The Terminator exonuclease does not process double-stranded RNA and because short RNAs can quickly re-anneal at high concentration, this assay can be misleading if the substrate is not denatured and not analysed in a dilution series. The sequence profiles and Terminator digests suggest that CymRSV siRNAs are produced from the structured positive strand rather than from perfect double-stranded RNA or by RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. Size-fractionated (19-24 nt) small RNA from early systemic leaves of CymRSV-infected Nicotiana benthamiana total RNA extracts was ligated to adapters, purified again and reverse transcribed. After PCR amplification, the sample was subjected to 454 high throughput pyrosequencing. Please see www.454.com for details of the sequencing technology.

Project description:Small RNA expression from Nicotiana benthamiana leaves was profiled with the primary goal of ascertaining microRNA isoform diversity for known, conserved families. A secondary goal was to provide a baseline small RNA expression atlas for this species and tissue. Two biological replicates of leaves from growth-room grown plants. The two libraries were each run twice on different runs, so there are a total of four datasets. For most analyses, it will be appropriate to combine the run1 and run2 versions for the libraries.

Project description:The use of syn-tasiRNAs has been proposed as an RNA interference technique alternative to those previously described: hairpin based, virus induced gene silencing or artificial miRNAs. In this study we engineered the TAS1c locus to impair Plum pox virus (PPV) infection by replacing the five native siRNAs with two 210-bp fragments from the CP and the 3´NCR regions of the PPV genome. Deep sequencing analysis of the small RNA species produced by both constructs in planta has shown that phased processing of the syn-tasiRNAs is construct-specific. While in syn-tasiR-CP construct the processing was as predicted 21-nt phased in register with miR173-guided cleavage, the processing of syn-tasiR-3NCR is far from what was expected. A 22-nt species from the miR173-guided cleavage was a guide of two series of phased small RNAs, one of them in an exact 21-nt register, and the other one in a mixed of 21-/22-nt frame. In addition, both constructs produced abundant PPV-derived small RNAs in the absence of miR173 as a consequence of a strong sense PTGS induction. The antiviral effect of both constructs was also evaluated in the presence or absence of miR173 and showed that the impairment of PPV infection was not significantly higher when miR173 was present. The results show that syn-tasiRNAs processing depends on construct-specific factors that should be further studied before the so-called MIGS (miRNA-induced gene silencing) technology can be used reliably. Two samples were analyzed. The control sample has no presence of miR173.

Three biological replicates were used for infected leaf tissue and one pooled mock-inoculated sample was used as a control/reference.

Project description:Using a crucifer-infecting strain of Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV-Cg) and Arabidopsis thaliana as a model system, we analyzed the viral small RNA profile in wild-type plants as well as rdr mutants by applying small RNA deep sequencing technology. Over 100,000 TMV-Cg-specific small RNA reads, mostly of 21- (78.4%) and 22-nucleotide (12.9%) in size and originating predominately (79.9%) from the genomic sense RNA strand, were captured at an early infection stage, yielding the first high-resolution small RNA map for a plant virus. The TMV-Cg genome harbored multiple, highly reproducible small RNA-generating hot spots that corresponded to regions with no apparent local hairpin-forming capacity. Significantly, both the rdr1 and rdr6 mutants exhibited globally reduced levels of viral small RNA production as well as reduced strand bias in viral small RNA population, revealing an important role for these host RDRs in viral siRNA biogenesis. In addition, an informatics analysis showed that a large set of host genes could be potentially targeted by TMV-Cg-derived siRNAs for posttranscriptional silencing, raising the interesting possibility for a hidden layer of widespread virus-host interactions that may contribute to viral pathogenicity and host specificity. Profiling of TMV-Cg derived small RNAs in systemically infected tissues of wild type (Col-0) Arabidopsis as well as the rdr1and rdr6 mutants, at 3 days post-infection.

Project description:Gene expression microarray was designed, based on two recently published versions of the N. benthamiana transcriptome (v.3 and v.5). Based on homology searches and hybridization tests we identified the sense strand in 106,684 transcriptome contigs and used this information to design a Nb-105k microarray on Agilent eArray platform. By the hybridization of N. benthamiana roots vs leaves RNA samples we showed high specificity and sensitivity of the new microarray in detection of differentially expressed transcripts. Agilent microarrays in 2x105k format (two microarrays per slide) were used for hybridization of labeled RNA from leaves vs roots of N. benthamiana plants. Four biological replicates were used for two-color design in a dye-swap manner.

Project description:Chinese wheat mosaic virus (CWMV) is a severe threat to winter wheat, but the mechanism of the viral pathogenic mechanism is poorly understood. In this study, a LC-MS/MS-based quantitative proteomics was conducted to analyze the proteomic changes of CWMV-infected Nicotiana benthamiana compared to mock plants. In total, 2,751 identified host proteins were identified, 1,496 of which were quantified. 146 up-regulated and 248 down-regulated proteins were characterized as differently accumulated proteins (DAPs)

Project description:RNase P is essential to perform the 5’ maturation of tRNA precursors. Beyond the ancestral form of RNase P containing a ribozyme, protein-only RNase P enzymes termed PRORP were identified in eukaryotes. In human mitochondria, PRORP forms a complex with two protein partners to become functional. In plants, although PRORP enzymes are active alone, we investigate their interaction network to understand their integration with gene expression pathways. Here we investigate functional interactions involving the Arabidopsis nuclear RNase P PRORP2. We show, using an immuno-affinity strategy, that PRORP2 makes a complex with the tRNA methyl transferases TRM1A and B in vivo. Beyond RNase P, these enzymes can also interact with RNase Z. We show that TRM1A/B localize in the nucleus and find that their double knock out mutation results in a severe macroscopic phenotype. Using a combination of immuno-detections, mass spectrometry and a transcriptome wide tRNAseq approach, we observe that TRM1A/B are responsible for the m2,2G26 modification of 70% of cytosolic tRNAs in vivo. We use the transcriptome wide tRNAseq approach as well as RNA blot hybridizations to show that RNase P activity is impaired in TRM1A/B mutants for specific tRNAs, in particular, tRNAs containing a m2,2G modification at position 26 that are strongly down-regulated in TRM1A/B mutants. Altogether, results indicate that the m2,2G adding enzymes TRM1A/B functionally cooperate with nuclear RNase P in vivo for the early steps of cytosolic tRNAs biogenesis.
