MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small silencing RNAs with regulatory roles in gene expression. miRNAs interact with Argonaute (AGO) proteins to form effector complexes that cleave target mRNAs or repress translation. Rice (Oryza sativa) encodes four AGO1 homologs (AGO1a, AGO1b, AGO1c, and AGO1d). We used RNA interference (RNAi) to knock down the four AGO1s. The RNAi lines displayed pleiotropic developmental phenotypes and had increased accumulation of miRNA targets. AGO1a, AGO1b, and AGO1c complexes were ...[more]

Project description:microRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small silencing RNAs that have regulatory roles in gene expression. miRNAs interact with Argonaute (AGO) proteins to form effector complexes that can cleave target mRNAs or repress their translation. Rice encodes four AGO1 homologs (AGO1a, AGO1b, AGO1c, and AGO1d). We used an RNAi approach to knock down the four AGO1s. The RNAi lines displayed pleiotropic developmental phenotypes and had increased accumulation of miRNA targets, suggesting the involvement of AGO1s in the miRNA pathway. Three of the AGO1s (AGO1a, AGO1b, and AGO1c complexes) were purified and further characterized. We showed that the three AGO1s all have a strong preference for binding small RNAs (sRNAs) with 5’ U and have Slicer activity. We catalogued the sRNAs in each AGO1 complex by deep sequencing, and found all three AGO1s predominantly bound known miRNAs. Most of the miRNAs were evenly distributed in the three AGO1 complexes, suggesting a redundant role for the AGO1s in the function of these miRNAs. Intriguingly, we also found a subset of miRNAs were specifically incorporated into or excluded from one of the AGO1s, suggesting that there is also functional specialization among the rice AGO1s. Four samples, total extract and three AGO1 complexes were analyzed

Project description:In plants, the known microRNAs (miRNAs) are produced as ~21 nucleotide (nt) duplexes from their precursors by Dicer like 1 (DCL1). They are incorporated into Argonaute 1 (AGO1) protein to regulate target gene expression primarily through mRNA cleavage. We report here the discovery of a new class of miRNAs in the model monocot rice (Oryza sativa). These are 24 nt in length and require another member of the Dicer family, DCL3, for their biogenesis. The 24 nt long miRNAs (lmiRNAs) are loaded into AGO4 clade proteins according to hierarchical rules, depending on the upstream biogenesis machinery and the 5’ terminal nucleotide. We demonstrated that lmiRNAs direct DNA methylation at loci from which they are produced as well as in trans at their target genes and play roles in gene regulation. Considered together, our findings define a novel miRNA pathway that mediates DNA methylation. Small RNAs were prepared from Rice total extract in wide type, dcl1, dcl3, rdr2 dbsRNA mutant and AGO4a, AGO4b, and AGO16 complexes, ligated to a 3' adaptor and a 5' acceptor sequentially, and then RT-PCR amplified. PCR products were reamplified using a pair of solexa cloning primers and then provided for sequencing. For technical details, see Wu, L., Zhang, Q., Zhou, H., Ni, F., Wu, X., and Qi, Y. (2009).

Project description:Full pluripotency of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells has been determined as viable all-iPS mice can be generated through tetraploid complementation. Subsequently, activation of imprinted Dlk-Dio3 gene cluster has been suggested to correlate with the pluripotency of iPS cells1. However, evidence from recent studies has demonstrated that loss of imprinting at the Dlk-Dio3 locus did not correlate strictly with the reduced pluripotency of iPS cells. Therefore, it becomes indispensable to exploit other reliable molecular markers for evaluating the quality of iPS cells accurately. In the present study, we successfully utilize the sequential reprogramming approach and produce all-iPS mice to six generations using iPS cell lines derived from different cell lineages which contain the same proviral integration in the genome. By comparing the global gene expression and epigenetic modifications of both “tetra-on” and corresponding “tetra-off” iPS cell lines established from either mesenchymal or hematopoietic lineages through deep sequencing analysis of mRNA expression, small RNA profiling, histone modifications (H3K4m2, H3K4me3 and H3K27me3) and DNA methylation, very few differences are detected among all the iPS cell lines investigated. However, we find that two imprinted genes, disruption of which correlate with the reduced pluripotency of iPS cells. Therefore, our data not only provide the first demonstration that producing of all-iPS mice to six generations is feasible, but reveal that two imprinted regions can be served as pluripotency markers of iPS cells Examination of the expression small RNA in 13 cell types

Project description:We aimed to identify putative H2O2-regulated miRNAs expressed in rice seedlings under oxidative stress by using a deep sequencing approach developed by Solexa (Illumina). Two small RNA libraries were constructed from H2O2-treated and control rice seedlings, and more than five million small RNA sequence reads were generated for each library. We identified seven H2O2-responsive miRNA families via expression profiling of the miRNAs based on a comparative miRNAomic analysis in combination with experimental validation. Furthermore, 32 miRNAs, 17 from known miRNA loci and 15 from novel miRNA loci, were also newly identified from the sequencing data. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a systematic investigation of H2O2-regulated miRNAs and their targets in plants. Examination of 2 different small RNA expression profilings in the control and H2O2 treated rice samples.

Project description:We aimed to identify differential expression of microRNAs between superior and inferior spikelets by using a deep sequencing approach developed by Solexa (Illumina). Two small RNA libraries were constructed from superior and inferior spikelets at 18 days after fertilization, and more than nine million small RNA sequence reads were generated for each library. Totals of 351 and 312 known miRNAs were obtained from the superior and inferior spikelets, respectively. Analysis of the expression profiles of these miRNAs showed that 189 miRNAs were differentially expressed between superior spikelets and inferior spikelets. In addition, 43 novel miRNAs were identified mostly by the accumulations of miRNA*s were also expressed differentially. Further analysis shows that these miRNAs may individually participate in regulating hormone metabolism, carbohydrate metabolic pathways, and cell division during rice grain development. These results indicate that slow grain filling and low grain weight of rice inferior spikelets probably relation to the expression and function differences between superior and inferior spikelet miRNAs. Examination of 2 different small RNA expression profilings in superior and inferior spikelets at 18 days after fertilization.

Project description:The core components of RNA silencing effector complexes include small RNAs and members of the Argonaute (AGO) protein family. Arabidopsis encodes ten AGOs and complex population of small RNAs. It remains largely unknown how these small RNAs are recognized and recruited by each AGO complex. Here we purified four AGO complexes and identified small RNAs in each complex by deep sequencing. Keywords: Small RNA sorting Small RNAs were prepared from Arabidopsis AGO1, AGO2, AGO4 and AGO5 complexes, ligated to a 3' adaptor and a 5' acceptor sequentially, and then RT-PCR amplified. PCR products were reamplified using a pair of solexa cloning primers and then provided for sequencing.

Project description:Endogenous small RNAs, including microRNAs (miRNAs) and short-interfering RNAs (siRNAs), function as posttranscriptional or transcriptional regulators in plants. miRNA function is essential for normal development and therefore likely to be important in the growth of the rice grain. To investigate the likely roles of miRNAs in rice grain development we carried out deep sequencing of the small RNA populations of rice grains. A total of 96,091 (including 23,867 reads from vegetative tissues) and 5,379,724 small RNA sequences that are longer than 17nt were generated. Approximately 94% of these small RNAs were 20-24nt in length. The majority of the small RNAs were singletons, indicating that rice genome has a very complex small RNA population, which is harder to be saturated. From these smal RNA sequences we found representatives of all 20 conserved plant miRNA families and evidence for changes in expression of miRNAs during rice grain development. Using an approach based on the presence of the miRNA and miRNA* sequences, we identified 51 novel, non-conserved rice miRNA families expressed in grains with functionally diverse predicted target genes. miRNA-guided cleavage was confirmed for a number of targets genes including ones with roles in sugar signalling and restoration of cytoplasmic male sterility. We identified a likely mirtron, indicating that plants can also use spliced introns as a source of miRNAs. Our sequencing results revealed four TAS3 loci; these all contain dual miR390 sites of which only the 3? site is cleaved. We also found a miRNA-like long hairpin generating phased 21nt small RNAs, strongly expressed in developing grains and show that these small RNAs act in trans to cleave target mRNAs. Keywords: high throughput pyrosequencing, small RNA, microRNA, grain development, rice Small RNA populations of shoots and roots of 7 days old seedlings, and 1-5 and 6-10 days after fertilization grains were determined using high throughput sequencing technology. The abundance of known miRNAs were compared based on the number of sequence reads. To give a whole picture of the rice small RNA populations and to reflect un-biasly the sequencing results, small RNAs that are longer than 17nt no matter whether or not they matched with the rice genome were included in this submitted dataset. The unmatched sequences may be derived from un-sequenced regions or sequencing errors.
