NGS of sRNA reads in plants


ABSTRACT: Previous works had found correlation between the association of small RNAs (sRNAs) to Potyvirus HCPro variants in infected plants, and their abilities to suppress silencing. Moreover, we had shown a preference by HCPro for sRNAs of 21-22 nt with 5´-end adenines, and of viral sequence. Conformational properties can explain preferences for sRNAs by size and/or 5´-ends, but preference for sRNAs of viral over plant sequence would require their having different accessibilities to the suppressor, or chemical properties. To investigate this, we expressed suppressor-competent and –deficient HCPro variants by agro-infiltration or from potex- and potyviral vectors and characterized the sRNAs in infiltrated tissues and associated to the purified proteins. In input infiltrated or virus-infected tissues, methylation levels in selected sRNAs of either T-DNA or plant sequence were assessed, and the former were found significantly less methylated in the presence of suppression-competent HCPro. In purified preparations of suppression-competent HCPro, sRNAs of non-plant sequence of 21 ntwere selectively enriched in those having 5´-end adenines. Our data indicate that the ratio of sRNAs of plant vs. non-plant sequence associated to HCPro is influenced by the context in its expression, and suggest that also by a concurrent interference by HCPro on the methylation of newly generated sRNAs of non-plant sequence.
