Transcription profiling of Arabidopsis wild type and arrhythmic CCA1-34 line reveals that rhythmic growth is explained by coincidence between internal and external cues

ABSTRACT: Plant hypocotyls elongate in response to darkness. The response to darkness is gated by the circadian clock, such that wild-type plants (Col) only respond to darkness with growth once every 24 hours, whereas arrhythmic lines, such as CCA1-34, will respond to darkness with growth at any time of day. The experiment here was designed to find genes whose expression was correlated with growth. It should also pick up other genes that are gated by the circadian clock or that are direct targets of CCA1. Experiment Overall Design: Two genotypes were uses, wild-type (Col) and the arrhythmic CCA1-34 line that overexpresses the CCA1 protein. Plants were entrained in short day conditions for four days and then subjected light/dark pulses consisting of 160 minutes of light and 320 minutes of dark. We collected samples 120 minutes into the first and last dark periods of the day, corresponding to 280 and 1240 minutes after dawn. At the 280 minute time point Col plants are growing in response to darkness. At the 1240 minute time point Col plants are not growing. CCA1-34 plants are growing at both time points. The collection regime was continued for three days for a total of three temporal replicates for each time point/genotype combination.

Most organisms use circadian oscillators to coordinate physiological and developmental processes such as growth with predictable daily environmental changes like sunrise and sunset. The importance of such coordination is highlighted by studies showing that circadian dysfunction causes reduced fitness in bacteria and plants, as well as sleep and psychological disorders in humans. Plant cell growth requires energy and water-factors that oscillate owing to diurnal environmental changes. Indeed, two ...[more]

Project description:In dense plant stands, the ratio between red and far-red (R:FR) light declines and shade intolerant species will respond to this cue for future shade by inducing the shade avoidance syndrome (SAS), enabling them to outgrow their neighbours. Shade tolerant species from the forest understory are unable to outgrow neighbouring trees and will suppress SAS. Although the molecular mechanisms underlying SAS are well studied in various species, mechanisms of SAS-suppression in shade tolerant species have rarely been studied. We applied RNA sequencing on Geranium pyrenaicum and G. robertianum, two wild species with contrasting growth responses to low R:FR light. G. pyrenaicum strongly induces petiole elongation when exposed to low R:FR light, at any time of the photoperiod. Contrastingly, G. robertianum only induces this response early in the day, and suppresses petiole growth in low R:FR light at the end of the photoperiod, which results after 24 hours in a net difference with control treatments of zero. We compared expression patterns in the most apical (most responsive) part of the second petioles, in two-week-old Geranium plants (two leaf stage) after 2 and 11.5 hours of far-red light enrichment. This way, we identified a number of novel candidate regulators of shade avoidance, and differential phytochrome control of plant immunity genes in the two species. For de-novo assembly of the reference transcriptomes, we pooled petiole- and leaf lamina tissue exposed to normal white light (180 mol m-2 s-1 PAR, R:FR 1.8, Â± 60 mol m-2 s-1 blue light), low R:FR light (0.2), blue-depleted light (Â± 4 mol m-2 s-1 blue) and green shade (50 mol m-2 s-1 PAR, R:FR 0.45, Â± 13 mol m-2 s-1 blue) for 2, 11.5 and 24 hours. Libraries of these samples were normalized, Illumina sequenced, and together with sequences of non-normalized petiole samples of the expression analysis constructed into a reference transcriptome for each species, using the Trinity protocol. Transcripts were clustered into orthologue clusters using the ortho-MCL clustering technique. Non-normalized libraries of samples (control vs. low R:FR light, 2 and 11.5 hours after start of the treatment) were sequenced and aligned to the newly assembled transcriptomes. Read counts were summed per orthologue cluster before statistical analysis was proceeded.

Project description:Background:; Yersinia outer protein (Yop) H is a secreted virulence factor of Yersinia enterocolitica which inhibits phagocytosis of Y. enterocolitica and promotes virulence of Y. enterocolitica (Ye) in mice. The aim of this study was to address whether and how YopH affects the innate immune response against Ye in mice. Results:; For this purpose mice were infected with wild type Ye (pYV+) or a YopH-deficient Ye mutant strain (DyopH). CD11b+ cells were isolated from infected spleen and subjected to gene expression analysis using microarrays. Despite attenuation of DyopH in vivo, by variation of infection doses we were able to achieve conditions that allow comparison of gene expression in pYV+ and DyopH infections at either comparable infection courses or splenic bacterial burden. Gene expression analysis provided evidence that expression levels of several immune response genes including IFN-g and IL-6 are high after pYV+ infection but low after sublethal DyopH infection. In line with these findings, infection of IFN-gR-/- and IL-6-/- mice with pYV+ or DyopH revealed that these cytokines are dispensable for control of DyopH, but not pYV+ infection. Consistently, in bacteria killing assays with BMM in vitro, stimulation of BMM with IFN-g is required for killing of pYV+ but not DyopH. Conclusion:; In conclusion, this data suggest that IFN-g counteracts YopH-mediated virulence mechanisms of Ye which in Ye wild type infection contribute to evasion of the innate immune response including killing by macrophages. Experiment Overall Design: In this study microarray analyses were performed to define differences in gene expression of cells associated with innate immune response (CD11b+ cells) after infection of mice with a sublethal and lethal infection with wildtype Yersinia enterocolitica compared to uninfected mice. In addition, we wanted to investigate whether differences in gene expression can be defined which are due to the virulence factor YopH. Moroeover, we were interested whether gene expression pattern of sublethal and lethal infected mice are different. Allover all five samples were compared. Number of replicates 1.
