MIRNA Gene Evolution in Arabidopsis lyrata and Arabidopsis thaliana: Illumina sequencing

ABSTRACT: Deep sequencing of small RNA from three closely related brassicaceae A. thaliana, A. lyrata and Capsella rubella was done to systematically analyze the evolution of MIRNA genes and their targets. Small RNA were extracted from total RNA by size fractionation and converted to DNA amplicons by serial adaptor ligation to both ends followed by RT-PCR. DNA amplicons were sequenced using an Ilumina Genome Analyzer. Resulting sequences were computationally trimmed to remove 3' adaptor sequences. Raw data files (fastq) are unavailable for two of the samples (A.lyrata_flowers-stage1-12_rep1 and A.lyrata_flowers-stage1-12_rep2).

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short regulatory RNAs processed from partially self-complementary foldbacks within longer MIRNA primary transcripts. Several MIRNA families are conserved deeply through land plants, but many are present only in closely related species or are species specific. The finding of numerous evolutionarily young MIRNA, many with low expression and few if any targets, supports a rapid birth-death model for MIRNA evolution. A systematic analysis of MIRNA genes and families in the clo ...[more]

Project description:Small non-coding RNAs (sRNAs) play key roles in plant development, growth and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. At least four classes of sRNAs have been well characterized in plants, including repeat-associated siRNAs (rasiRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs), trans-acting siRNAs (tasiRNAs) and natural antisense transcript-derived siRNAs. Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) is one of the most important coniferous evergreen tree species in China. No sRNA from Chinese fir has been described to date. To obtain sRNAs in Chinese fir, we sequenced a sRNA library generated from seeds, seedlings, leaves, stems and calli, using Illumina high throughput sequencing technology. A comprehensive set of sRNAs were acquired, including conserved and novel miRNAs, rasiRNAs and tasiRNAs. With BLASTN and MIREAP we identified a total of 115 conserved miRNAs comprising 40 miRNA families and one novel miRNA with precursor sequence. The expressions of 16 conserved and one novel miRNAs and one tasiRNA were detected by RT-PCR. Utilizing real time RT-PCR, we revealed that four conserved and one novel miRNAs displayed developmental stage-specific expression patterns in Chinese fir. In addition, 209 unigenes were predicted to be targets of 30 Chinese fir miRNA families, of which five target genes were experimentally verified by 5' RACE, including a squamosa promoter-binding protein gene, a pentatricopeptide (PPR) repeat-containing protein gene, a BolA-like family protein gene, AGO1 and a gene of unknown function. We also demonstrated that the DCL3-dependent rasiRNA biogenesis pathway, which had been considered absent in conifers, existed in Chinese fir. Furthermore, the miR390-TAS3-ARF regulatory pathway was elucidated. We unveiled a complex population of sRNAs in Chinese fir through high throughput sequencing. This provides an insight into the composition and function of sRNAs in Chinese fir and sheds new light on land plant sRNA evolution. The aim of this study is to investigate the small RNA transcriptome in Cunninghamia lanceolata. Total RNAs of seeds and calli were extracted using RNAiso-mate for plant tissue and RNAiso plus (Takara, Dalian, Liaoning, China), whereas total RNAs of seedlings, adult leaves and stems were isolated with the Concert Plant RNA Reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA), and were then treated with RNase-free DNase I (Promega, Madison, WI, USA). Equal amount of total RNAs from the 5 different samples were mixed to form a single RNA pool. Twenty micrograms of total RNAs from the pool were used and 16 to 30-nt sRNAs were purified using Novex 15% TBE-¬Urea gel (Invitrogen). Two adaptors were sequentially ligated to the 5' and 3' ends of purified sRNAs. The ligation products were further purified from Novex 10% TBE-Urea gel. Reverse transcriptase SuperScript II (Invitrogen) and high-fidelity DNA polymerase Phusion (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA, USA) were used in the following RT-PCR reaction. The amplification products were cut from Novex 6% TBE-Urea gel. The purified DNA fragments were used for sequencing on an Illumina 1G Genome Analyzer at the Beijing Genomics Institute, Shenzhen, China.

Project description:When the sta6 (starch-null) strain of the green microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is nitrogen-starved in acetate and then "boosted" after two days with additional acetate, the cells become "obese" after eight days, with triacylglyceride-filled lipid bodies filling their cytoplasm and chloroplasts. To assess the transcriptional correlates of this response, sta6 and the starch-forming cw15 strain were subjected to RNA-Seq analysis during the two days prior and two days post boost, and the data were compared with published reports using other strains and growth conditions. During the two hours post boost, ~425 genes are up-regulated M-bM-^IM-%2-fold and ~875 genes are down-regulated M-bM-^IM-%2-fold in each strain. Expression of a small subset of "sensitive" genes, encoding enzymes in the glyoxylate and Calvin Benson cycles, gluconeogenesis, and the pentose phosphate pathway, is responsive to culture conditions and genetic background as well as to boost. Four genes--encoding a diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGTT2), a glycerol-3-P dehydrogenase (GPD3), and two candidate lipases (Cre03.g155250 and Cre17.g735600)--are selectively up-regulated in sta6. Although the bulk rate of acetate depletion from the medium is not boost-enhanced, three candidate acetate permease-encoding genes in the GPR1_FUN34_YaaH superfamily are boost-up-regulated, and 13 of the "sensitive" genes are strongly responsive to the cell's acetate status. A cohort of 64 autophagy-related genes is down-regulated by boost. Our results indicate that the boost serves both to avert an autophagy program and to prolong the operation of key pathways that shuttle carbon from acetate into storage lipid, the combined outcome being enhanced TAG accumulation, notably in sta6. Here we report studies on gene-expression patterns during the path to obesity. The Merchant/Pellegrini and Los Alamos laboratories recently generated and analyzed RNA-Seq transcriptomes of cw15, sta6, and several complemented sta6 strains during two days of N-starvation (0M-bM-^FM-^R48 h). In collaboration with these groups, the Goodenough lab generated a second pair of transcriptomes using cw15 and sta6, tracing 0M-bM-^FM-^R48 h gene expression patterns under a different set of culture conditions and taking the time course out to 96 h, with an intervening acetate boost. Analysis of these data was deeply informed by cross-comparisons with the Blaby et al. data. Three additional RNA-Seq studies of wild-type strains were also considered.
