Functional characterization of Arabidopsis ARGONAUTE 3 in reproductive tissue

ABSTRACT: Arabidopsis encodes ten ARGONAUTE (AGO) effectors of RNA silencing, canonically loaded with either 21-22nt small RNAs (sRNA) to mediate post-transcriptional-gene-silencing (PTGS) or 24nt sRNAs to promote RNA-directed-DNA-methylation. Using full-locus constructs, we characterized the expression, biochemical properties, and possible modes of action of AGO3. Although AGO3 arose from a recent duplication at the AGO2 locus, their expression differs drastically, with AGO3 prevailing in aerial vascular terminations and specifically in chalazal seed integuments; accordingly, AGO3 down-regulation alters gene expression in siliques. Similar to AGO2, AGO3 binds sRNAs with a strong 5’-adenosine bias, but unlike most Arabidopsis AGOs - AGO2 included - it binds efficiently both 24nt and 21nt sRNAs. AGO3 immuno precipitation experiments in siliques revealed that these sRNAs mostly associate to genes and intergenic regions and not to canonical AGO targets, such as transposable elements. AGO3 localizes to the cytoplasm and co-fractionates with polysomes to possibly mediate PTGS via translation inhibition.

Deciphering the cell-specific role of Arabidopsis Argonaute 3 [smallRNA-Seq]

Project description:ARGONAUTE (AGO) proteins are the major effectors of RNA silencing. In Arabidopsis, loading of 21-22-nt long small RNAs into AGOs results in post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) by mRNA cleavage and/or translational repression. On the other hand, loading of 24-nt sRNAs results in transcriptional gene silencing (TGS) by RNA directed DNA methylation (RdDM). The Arabidopsis genome encodes 10 AGOs, which are known, for most, to belong to either pathway. Here we characterized the cell specific role of Arabidopsis AGO3. It is specifically expressed in tissue close to vascular termination and strongly accumulates in chalazal seed integuments. AGO3 encodes a functional AGO able to bind sRNAs with a preference for 24nt in length with a 5’ nucleotide bias for Adenosine. Down-regulation of AGO3 affects gene expression in siliques and its expression is strongly induced in the plant vasculature upon proteasome inhibition. Our results suggest that AGO3 might act to regulate gene expression by a novel RNA silencing pathway involving 24nt sRNA-directed PTGS.

Arabidopsis AGO3 predominantly recruits 24-nucleotide small RNAs to regulate epigenetic silencing [miRNA-seq]

Project description:AGO3 predominantly bound 24-nt sRNAs with 5â?? terminal adenine. The spectrum of AGO3-associated sRNAs was different from those bound to AGO2. By contrast, approximately 30% of AGO3-bound 24-nt sRNAs overlapped with those bound to AGO4 and over 60% of AGO3-associated 24-nt sRNA enriched loci were identical to those of AGO4. In addition, expression of AGO3 driven by AGO4 native promoter partially complemented AGO4 function and rescued DNA methylation defect in ago4-1 background. Examination of AGO3 and AGO2 bound small RNAs with/without salt stress.

Profiling of Argonaute (AGO) 2-associated sRNAs after infection of bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae

Project description:Transgenic Arabidopsis plants (AGO2::HA:AGO2) were treated with either mock (10 mM MgCl2) or Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst) expressing avrRpt2 (R2) at a concentration of 2 x 107 cfu/ml for 14 hours. sRNAs associated with AGO1 and AGO2 were co-immunoprecipitated using antibodies against either AGO1 (AGO1-IP), or HA (hemagglutinin) (AGO2-IP). As controls, we also gel-purified the 18-28 nt fraction of the total RNAs from an AGO2 mutant (ago2-1). The co-immunoprecipitated or gel-purified RNAs were cloned and sequenced by Illumina deep sequencing. Examination of AGO-associated sRNAs in pathogen-treated or control plants

Differentially expressed small RNAs in Arabidopsis galls formed by Meloidogyne javanica

Project description:Root-knot nematodes (RKNs) induce inside the vascular cylinder the giant cells (GCs) imbibed into a gall. Gene-repression in early developing GCs could be facilitated by small RNAs (sRNA) as miRNAs. 24nt-sRNAs, rasiRNAs and 21-22nt-sRNAs can also mediate epigenetic mechanisms. Three sRNA libraries from 3dpi galls and three from uninfected root segments were sequenced following Illumina-Solexa technology.

Argonaute proteins couple chromatin silencing to alternative splicing (RNA IP-Seq)

Project description:While Argonaute (AGO) proteins play a major role in transcriptional gene silencing (TGS) in many organisms, their role in the nucleus of somatic mammalian cells remains elusive. Here, we have purified AGO1 and AGO2 chromatin-embedded complexes, and found these proteins associated with previously described partners, but also with chromatin modifiers and, rather unexpectedly, with different splicing factors. Using the CD44 gene as a model for alternative splicing, we show that both AGO1 and AGO2 are required for Protein Kinase C (PKC)-dependent variant exon inclusion. AGO proteins facilitate the spliceosome recruitment and modulate the elongation rate of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII). The recruitment of AGO proteins to CD44 transcribed region is dependent on both the endonuclease Dicer and the chromodomain-containing protein HP1g, and results in locally increased levels of histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) methylation on variant exons. Genome wide analysis of splicing in either AGO2 or Dicer null cells showed that the two proteins have similar effects on many splicing events. Finally, sRNAs associated with nuclear AGO2 are mostly in sense orientation relative to protein-coding genes, supporting a role for intragenic antisense non-coding RNAs in the recruitment AGO and splicing factors. Together, our data demonstrate for the first time that the endogenous RNAi pathway is involved in alternative splicing decisions, unravelling a new model in which AGO proteins couple RNAPII elongation and chromatin modification. Deep sequencing of small RNAs (approx. 15-80 nucleotides) bound to either cytoplasmic or chromatin-associated AGO2 complex.
