RACK1 function in the miRNA pathway

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate different aspects of plant development by post-transcriptional regulation of target genes. In Arabidopsis, DICER-LIKE 1 (DCL1) processes miRNA precursors (pri-miRNAs) to miRNA duplexes, which associate with ARGONAUTE 1 (AGO1). AGO1 together with the miRNA guide strand binds complementary RNA sequences within target mRNAs. Additional proteins act in concert with DCL1 (e.g. HYL1 and SERRATE) and AGO1, respectively, to facilitate efficient and precise pri-miRNA processing and loading into the effector protein. Here, we show that RECEPTOR OF ACTIVATED C KINASE 1 (RACK1) is a novel component of the Arabidopsis miRNA pathway. RACK1 is a seven-bladed WD-repeat protein that has previously been shown to act as a scaffold protein mediating multiple simultaneous protein-protein interactions. Our molecular analyses demonstrate that RACK1 function is required for controlling miRNA-mediated gene expression. rack1 mutants contain only low levels of mature miRNAs without affecting the first step of pri-miRNA processing. Physical and genetic interaction studies revealed that RACK1 acts in concert with AGO1 and also interacts with a SERRATE, a component of the miRNA processing machinery. These results suggest that RACK1 also functions as a scaffold protein in the miRNA pathway to orchestrates miRNA maturation steps after the initial events of pri-miRNA processing. sequencing of small RNAs from WT and rack1abc mutants (two biological replicates each)

RACK1 function in the miRNA pathway

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate plant development by post-transcriptional regulation of target genes. In Arabidopsis thaliana, DCL1 processes precursors (pri-miRNAs) to miRNA duplexes, which associate with AGO1. Additional proteins act in concert with DCL1 (e.g. HYL1 and SERRATE) or AGO1, respectively, to facilitate efficient and precise pri-miRNA processing and miRNA loading. In this study, we show that the accumulation of plant microRNAs depends on RECEPTOR FOR ACTIVATED C KINASE 1 (RACK1), a scaffold protein found in all higher eukaryotes. miRNA levels are reduced in rack1 mutants and our data suggest that RACK1 affects the microRNA pathway via several distinct mechanisms involving direct interactions with known microRNA factors: RACK1 ensures the accumulation and processing of some pri-miRNAs, directly interacts with SERRATE and is part of an AGO1 complex. As a result, mutations in RACK1 lead to misregulation of miRNA target genes, which is important for ABA responses and phyllotaxy. In conclusion, our study discovered complex functioning of RACK1 proteins in the Arabidopsis miRNA pathway, which are important for miRNA production and therefore plant development.

NOT2 proteins promote Pol II-dependent transcription and interact with multiple miRNA biogenesis factors in Arabidopsis

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play key regulatory roles in numerous developmental and physiological processes in animals and plants. The elaborate mechanism of miRNA biogenesis involves transcription and multiple processing steps. Here, we report the identification of a pair of evolutionarily conserved NOT2_3_5 domain containing proteins, NOT2a and NOT2b (previously known as At-NOT2 and VIP2, respectively), as components involved in Arabidopsis miRNA biogenesis. NOT2 was identified by its interaction with the Piwi/Ago/Zwille (PAZ) domain of Dicer-like 1 (DCL1), an interaction that is conserved between rice and Arabidopsis. Inactivation of both NOT2 genes in Arabidopsis caused severe defects in male gametophytes, and weak lines show pleiotropic defects reminiscent of miRNA pathway mutants. Impairment of NOT2s decreases the accumulation of pri-miRNAs and mature miRNAs and increases DCL1-containing nuclear speckle number in vivo. In addition, NOT2b protein interacts with Pol II and other miRNA processing factors including two cap-binding proteins, CBP80/ABH1, CBP20 and SERRATE (SE). Therefore, these results suggest that NOT2 proteins promote MIR transcription and facilitate efficient DCL1 recruitment in Arabidopsis. Examination of transcriptome of not2 and wild type by RNA-seq.

A Role for the RNA-Binding Protein MOS2 in MicroRNA Maturation in Arabidopsis

Project description:microRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in the regulation of gene expression. In Arabidopsis, mature miRNAs are processed from primary miRNA transcripts (pri-miRNAs) by nuclear HYL1/SE/DCL1 complexes that form Dicing bodies (D-bodies). Here we report that a RNA-binding protein MOS2 bound to pri-miRNAs and was required for their efficient processing. MOS2 did not interact with HYL1, SE, and DCL1 and was not localized in D-bodies. Interestingly, in the absence of MOS2, the recruitment of pri-miRNAs by HYL1 was greatly reduced and the localization of HYL1 in D-bodies was compromised. These data suggest that MOS2 facilitates pri-miRNA processing through facilitating the recruitment of pri-miRNAs by the Dicing complexes.

Transcription profiling of wild type and serrate-1 mutant Arabidopsis seedlings to investigate regulation of miRNA levels

Project description:microRNAs function as sequence-specific guides to regulate genes by post-transcriptional gene silencing. Many miRNAs are involved in the control plant development by regulating the accumulation of transcripts encoding transcription factors. This causes pleiotropic developmental phenotypes of mutants defective in miRNA accumulation, such as dcl1, hen1, hyl1 and ago1. The serrate-1 (se-1) mutant of Arabidopsis also exhibits a highly pleiotropic phenotype which overlaps with phenotypes of mutants defective in miRNA accumulation. It has been proposed that SE functions specifically in miRNA-mediated repression of the leaf polarity genes PHABULOSA and PHAVOLUTA. Microarray analysis of transcript levels in se-1 compared to wild-type however revealed upregulation of many genes known to be targets of miRNA regulation. We show that SE is a general regulator of miRNA levels probably controlling processing of pri-miRNA to miRNA.

Dual roles of the nuclear cap binding complex and SERRATE in pre-mRNA splicing and microRNA processing in Arabidopsis

Project description:The processing of Arabidopsis thaliana microRNAs (miRNAs) from longer primary transcripts (pri-miRNAs) requires the activity of several proteins, including DICER-LIKE1 (DCL1), the double stranded RNA binding protein HYPONASTIC LEAVES1 (HYL1), and the zinc finger protein SERRATE (SE). It has been noted before that the morphological appearance of weak se mutants is reminiscent of plants with mutations in ABH1/CBP80 and CBP20, which encode the two subunits of the nuclear cap-binding complex. We report that, like SE, the cap-binding complex is necessary for proper processing of pri-miRNAs. Inactivation of either ABH1/CBP80 or CBP20 results in decreased levels of mature miRNAs accompanied by increased levels of pri-miRNAs. Whole genome tiling array analyses reveal that se, abh1/cbp80 and cbp20 mutants also share similar pre-mRNA splicing defects, leading to the accumulation of many partially spliced transcripts. This is unlikely to be an indirect consequence of improper miRNA processing or other mRNA turnover pathways, since introns retained in se, abh1/cbp80 and cbp20 mutants are not affected by mutations in other genes required for miRNA processing or for non-sense-mediated mRNA decay. Taken together, our results uncover dual roles in splicing and miRNA processing that distinguish SE and the cap-binding complex from specialized miRNA processing factors such as DCL1 and HYL1. Keywords: Tiling array analysis of RNA populations from wild type, se, abh1 and cbp20 mutants

SMA1, a homolog of the splicing factor Prp28, has a multifaceted role in miRNA biogenesis in Arabidopsis

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs that repress gene expression. In plants, the RNase III enzyme Dicer-like (DCL1) processes primary miRNAs (pri-miRNAs) into miRNAs. Here, we show that SMALL1 (SMA1), a homolog of the DEAD-box pre-mRNA splicing factor Prp28, plays essential roles in miRNA biogenesis in Arabidopsis. A hypomorphic sma1-1 mutation causes growth defects and reduces miRNA accumulation correlated with increased target transcript levels. SMA1 interacts with the DCL1 complex and positively influences pri-miRNA processing. Moreover, SMA1 binds the promoter region of genes encoding pri-miRNAs (MIRs) and is required for MIR transcription. Furthermore, SMA1 also enhances the abundance of the DCL1 protein levels through promoting the splicing of the DCL1 pre-mRNAs. Collectively, our data provide new insights into the function of SMA1/Prp28 in regulating miRNA abundance in plants.

The effect of SEAP1 on the accumulation of miRNAs and mRNAs

Project description:SE-Associated Protein 1 (SEAP1), is a conserved protein in eukaryotes. Its orthologs, SART3 and PRP24 from metazoans and yeast play essential roles in splicing. Here, we report that SE-Associated Protein 1 (SEAP1), is required for miRNA biogenesis in Aradopsis. Lack of SEAP1 causes embryo lethality and knockdown of SEAP1 by an artificial miRNA (amiRSEAP1) causes pleiotropic growth defects and reduction in miRNA accumulation, accompanied with increased levels of target transcripts. SEAP1 associates with the RNase III enzyme Dicer-like 1(DCL1) complex, which processes primary miRNA transcripts (pri-miRNAs) into miRNAs, and seems to promote the interaction of the DCL1 complexes with pri-miRNAs. SEAP1 is also required for pri-miRNA accumulation. However, it does not affect the transcription of pri-miRNAs, suggesting it may indirectly or directly stabilize pri-miRNAs. SEAP1 also affects the spicing of pri-mRNAs. These results suggest that SEPA1 promotes miRNA biogenesis by positively modulating pri-miRNA splicing, processing and stability. We also find that intron retention in amiRSEAP1 is altered at global levels, linking SEAP1 to spicing. Collectively, our results uncover the function of SEAP1 in plants.

The Roles of Arabidopsis CDF2 in Transcriptional and Posttranscriptional Regulation of Primary MicroRNAs

Project description:The precise regulation of microRNA (miRNA) transcription and processing is important for eukaryotic development. Plant miRNAs are first transcribed as stem-loop primary miRNAs (pri-miRNAs) by RNA polymerase II，then cleaved in the nucleus into mature miRNAs by Dicer-like 1 (DCL1). We identified a cycling DOF transcription factor, CDF2, which interacts with DCL1 and regulates the accumulation of a population of miRNAs. CDF2 binds directly to the promoters of some miRNAs and works as a transcription activator or repressor for these miRNA genes. CDF2 binds preferentially to the pri-miRNAs regulated by itself and suppresses DCL1-mediated pri-miRNA processing. Genetically, CDF2 works in the same pathway as miR156 or miR172 to control flowering. We conclude that CDF2 regulates a group of pri-miRNAs at both the transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels to maintain proper levels of their mature miRNAs to control plant development.
