Plant Extracellular Vesicles Contain Diverse Small RNA Species and Are Enriched in 10 to 17 Nucleotide "Tiny" RNAs.

ABSTRACT: Small RNAs (sRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs of 20 to 24 nucleotides in size found across a wide range of eukaryote organisms, from plants to animals. sRNAs are master regulators of a wide range of biological functions, including development, reproduction and stress responses. They typically function via the control of the stability and translation of target mRNAs. sRNAs can be divided in two major classes, according to their biogenesis and mode of action: microRNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). As a silencing signal, several different types of sRNAs have also the ability to move short distances, like cell-to-cell, or much longer distances like root to shoot. They are even trafficked between different species and organisms. However, the mechanisms by which sRNAs move remain unknown. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are mobile lipid compartments that participate in intercellular communication; they are able to carry proteins, lipids, nucleic acids and metabolites. Despite the fact that very little is known about the origin, formation or function of EVs in plants, recent results suggest that they participate in both long distance movement and immune responses. In this study, we analysed the small RNA content of EVs, and we identified miRNAs and siRNAs that are preferentially loaded into the EVs. This EV enrichment of certain RNAs supports hypotheses for long-distance RNA movement and for RNA-based communication between species, including host-pathogen interactions.

Detection of siRNA movement in Arabidopsis thaliana using P19 under root cell layer specific expression

Project description:We aimed at characterizing the identity of the silencing signal i.e. siRNA or longer dsRNA precursor thereof. We used transgenic dsRNA, endogenous dsRNA or virus infection as sources of siRNAs combined to sophisticated immunoprecipitation-based procedures coupled to deep-sequencing. We found that although they are diluted as they move away from their sites of production, siRNAs population are highly similar between incipient and recipient cells in the three systems. Additionally, a significant depletion of 5’U and 5’A content in the recipient cells suggested Argonaute-loading dependent depletion of these siRNAs during their movement over multiple cell layers. Using the PAZ-domain mutants ago1-18 and ago1-42 confirmed that the observed depletion of mobile siRNAs is the result of RISC loading. The results advocate movement of individual siRNA duplexes as opposed to their precursors and that loading into Argonaut proteins renders those small RNAs cell-autonomous.

miRNA mobility is a highly regulated process in plants

Project description:Small RNAs regulate many important developmental processes by targeting key regulators, such as transcription factor families, for posttranscriptional repression. Although originally assumed to function cell-autonomously, several instances of small RNAs serving as short-range mobile signals have now been reported. The recognition that small RNAs can move from cell-to-cell has broadened our thinking on how these molecules are utilized during development, serving as positional, morphogen-like, signals. However, major questions regarding the properties and function of mobile small RNAs during plant development remain. For example, is miRNA movement a developmentally regulated process? What factors are important for miRNA mobility? In order to address questions regarding the properties of miRNAs mobility, our group has developed a reporter system to assay non-cell-autonomous miRNA activity. In this system an artificial miRNA (MIR-GFP) is expressed from tissue-specific promoters and assayed for its capacity to silence a ubiquitously-expressed, cell-autonomous, nuclear-localized GFP reporter (p35S:3xNLS-GFP). Here we report that miRNA movement is a regulated process, and that competence to move is developmentally determined. In select tissue contexts, miRNAs show differential or directional movement, indicating miRNA mobility to be regulated independently from other signalling molecules.

Arabidopsis RNA Polymerase IV generates 21-22 nucleotide small RNAs that can participate in RNA-directed DNA methylation and may regulate genes

Project description:Canonically, Arabidopsis RNA Polymerase IV (Pol IV) is known to produce heterochromatic small RNAs (typically 23-24 nucleotide in length) that maintain silencing of transposable elements (TEs). In contrast, when TEs are transcriptionally activated and produce Pol II transcripts, these transcripts are degraded into 21-22 nt small RNAs (sRNAs) known to participate in post transcriptional gene silencing. Recently, it was reported that Pol IV can also produce 21-22 nt sRNAs in pollen. We investigated the mechanism of Pol IV dependent 21-22 nt sRNAs and show that this mechanism is not specific to pollen. Additionally, we show that these 21-22 nt sRNAs can participate in RNA-directed DNA methylation, are incorporated into ARGONAUTE 1 (AGO1) and may guide AGO1 to cleave genic mRNAs to regulate their expression.

Arabidopsis Apoplastic Fluid Contains sRNA- and Circular RNA-Protein Complexes that Are Located Outside Extracellular Vesicles

Project description:The extracellular space within plant leaves is called the apoplast, and functions as a key battlefield between plants and pathogens. Previously, we have shown that apoplastic wash fluid purified from Arabidopsis leaves contains small RNAs (sRNAs). To investigate whether these RNAs are encapsulated inside extracellular vesicles (EVs), we treated EVs isolated from Arabidopsis leaves with the protease trypsin and RNase A, which should degrade RNAs located outside of EVs, but not those located inside. These analyses revealed that apoplastic RNAs are mostly located outside of EVs and are associated with proteins. Additional analyses of these extracellular RNAs (exRNAs) revealed that they are made up both sRNAs and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), including circular RNAs (circRNAs). We also found that exRNAs are highly enriched in the post-transcriptional modification N6-methyladenine (m6A). Consistent with this, we identified a putative m6A-binding protein in apoplastic wash fluids, GLYCINE-RICH RNA BINDING PROTEIN 7 (GRP7), as wells as the small RNA-binding protein ARGONAUTE2 (AGO2). These two proteins co-immunoprecipitated with each other, and with lncRNAs, including circRNAs. Mutation of GRP7 or AGO2 caused changes in both the sRNA and lncRNA content of apoplastic wash fluid, suggesting that these proteins contribute to the secretion and/or stabilization of exRNAs.

TRAMP-mediated RNA surveillance prevents spurious entry of RNAs into the S. pombe siRNA pathway

Project description:In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the RNAi machinery is required to generate small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that mediate heterochromatic gene silencing. Efficient silencing also requires the TRAMP complex, which contains the non-canonical Cid14 polyA polymerase and targets aberrant RNAs for degradation. Here we use high-throughput sequencing to analyze Argonaute-associated small RNAs (sRNAs) in both the presence and absence of Cid14. Most sRNAs in fission yeast start with a 5’-uracil, largely because these are loaded most efficiently into Argonaute. In wild-type cells, most sRNAs match to repeated regions of the genome, whereas in cid14 cells, the sRNA profile changes to include major new classes of sRNAs originating from ribosomal RNAs and a tRNA. Thus, Cid14 prevents certain abundant RNAs from becoming substrates for the RNAi machinery, thereby freeing the RNAi machinery to act on its proper targets.

C. elegans small RNA sequences from wild type animals fed on sel-1 dsRNA producing bacteria

Project description:RNA interference (RNAi) is a phylogenetically widespread gene silencing process triggered by doublestranded RNA (dsRNA). In plants and C. elegans, two distinct populations of small RNAs have been proposed to participate in RNAi : "Primary siRNAs" (derived from Dicer nuclease-mediated cleavage of the original trigger) and "Secondary siRNAs" (additional small RNAs whose synthesis requires an RNA-directed RNA polymerase [RdRP]). Analyzing small RNAs associated with ongoing RNAi in C. elegans, we found secondary siRNAs to comprise the vast majority. The bulk of secondary siRNAs exhibited structure and sequence indicative of a biosynthetic mode where each molecule derives from an independent de novo initiation by RdRP. Analysis of endogenous small RNAs indicated that a fraction derive from a biosynthetic mechanism that is similar to that of secondary siRNAs formed during RNAi, suggesting that small antisense transcripts derived from cellular mRNAs by RdRP activity may have key roles in cellular regulation.
