Stage-Specific RNA Turnover Drives Small RNA Dynamics in Arabidopsis – Colletotrichum Interactions

ABSTRACT: Small RNAs (sRNAs) are key regulators of plant defense and have been implicated in cross-kingdom interactions with pathogens. The hemibiotrophic fungus Colletotrichum higginsianum infects Arabidopsis thaliana through three stages: appressorial penetration, biotrophy, and necrotrophy. However, the dynamics of fungal and plant sRNA populations across these three stages has not been elucidated. Using high-throughput sequencing, we profiled sRNAs from A. thaliana and C. higginsianum during in planta appressorium (PA), biotrophic (BP), and necrotrophic (NP) phases, and compared them to fungal mycelia (MY) and in vitro appressoria (VA). Our analyses revealed stage-specific patterns in sRNA accumulation in both the plant and the pathogen. In C. higginsianum, sRNAs were dominated by 29 nt species in PA, BP, MY, and VA, but shifted to 18 nt in NP, consistent with RNA degradation during host cell death. In A. thaliana, sRNAs transitioned from 30-33-nt in PA/BP to a 21 nt dominant peak in NP. Also, TE-derived siRNAs and other regulatory sRNAs (miRNAs, ncRNA, snoRNAs and snRNAs) declined during NP. A total of 62 host miRNAs showed differential accumulation, including core plant developmental regulators active across infection stages, and stage-specific miRNAs such as miR396, miR170/171, miR472, and miR858b. tRFs displayed opposite trends in host and pathogen: fungal tRFs declined in NP, while host tRFs increased. These tRFs contrasting trends may reflect differences in RNA processing or degradation between host and pathogen. Our results provide new insights into RNA-mediated plant-fungal interactions.

Fragmentation of tRNA in Phytophthora infestans asexual life cycle stages and during host plant infection [life cycle]

Project description:Background: The oomycete Phytophthora infestans possesses active RNA silencing pathways, which presumably enable this plant pathogen to control the large numbers of transposable elements present in its 240 Mb genome. Small RNAs (sRNAs), central molecules in RNA silencing, are known to also play key roles in this organism, notably in regulation of critical effector genes needed for infection of its potato host. Results: In order to identify additional classes of sRNAs in oomycetes, we mapped deep sequencing reads to transfer RNAs (tRNAs) thereby revealing the presence of 19-40 nt tRNA-derived RNA fragments (tRFs). Northern blot analysis identified abundant tRFs corresponding to half tRNA molecules. Some tRFs accumulated differentially during infection, as seen by examining sRNAs sequenced from P. infestans-potato interaction libraries. The putative connection between tRF biogenesis and the canonical RNA silencing pathways was investigated by employing hairpin RNA-mediated RNAi to silence the genes encoding P. infestans Argonaute (PiAgo) and Dicer (PiDcl) endoribonucleases. By sRNA sequencing we show that tRF accumulation is PiDcl1-independent, while Northern hybridizations detected reduced levels of specific tRNA-derived species in the PiAgo1 knockdown line. Conclusions: Our findings extend the sRNA diversity in oomycetes to include fragments derived from non-protein-coding RNA transcripts and identify tRFs whose levels are elevated during infection of P. infestans on potato.

Characterization of Sus scrofa small RNA sequences present in both female and male gonads

Project description:We used deep sequencing to characterize 3 families of sRNAs (piRNAs, miRNAs, and tRFs) present in Sus scrofa gonads and focused on the sRNA fraction present in both male and female gonads. Of the sequences detected in the testes, 2.6% of piRNAs, 9% of miRNAs, and 10% of tRFs were also present in the ovaries. Notably, the majority of the shared piRNAs mapped to the introns of ribosomal RNAs and were derived from clustered loci. In addition, the most abundant miRNAs present in the ovaries and testes are conserved and are involved in many biological processes such as the regulation of homeobox genes, the control of cell proliferation, and carcinogenesis. Unexpectedly, we detected a novel sRNA type, the tRFs, which are 30–36-nt RNA fragments derived from tRNA molecules, in gonads Determination miRNA, piRNA and tRF expression in swine gonads

Transcriptional response of Arabidopsis sweet11/sweet12 double mutants upon Colletotrichum higginsianum infection

Project description:In compatible interactions, biotrophic microbial phytopathogens rely on the supply of carbon and nitrogen assimilates by the colonized host tissue. Successful biotrophs need to reprogram host metabolism, which also involves the stimulation of assimilate export from living host cells into the plant-pathogen interface at the infection site. In rice and cassava, SWEET sucrose transporters, are induced by bacterial TAL (transcriptional activator-like) effectors to establish compatibility. A pathogen-specific transcriptional induction of SWEET transporters has also been observed in Arabidopsis leaves upon microbial challenge. Here, we have assessed the question, whether the phloem localized AtSWEET11 and AtSWEET12 transporters represent susceptibility factors in the interaction of Arabidopsis with the fungal hemibiotroph Colletotrichum higginsianum (Ch). Compared to wild type, sweet11/sweet12 double mutants exhibited priming of the SA pathway in mock conditions. To investigate transcriptional changes in C. higgsinanum infected leaves, five-week old Arabidopsis plants were spray infected with 2 Mio. conidia/ ml 1h before lights off and fully expanded leaves of wild type Col-0 and the sweet11/sweet12 double mutant were harvested in three situations: 1) immediately before treatment, 2) from mock treated plants (sprayed with water) at 2.5 days post treatment and 3) from C. higginsianum inoculated leaves during biotrophic colonization at 2.5 days post treatment

Phytophthora infestans Ago1 binds miRNA and sRNAs from effector genes and transposable elements (RNA-Seq)

Project description:The plant pathogen Phytophthora infestans encodes four distinct Ago proteins. To identify the sRNA repertoire associated with each PiAgo protein, Ago-sRNA co-immunoprecipitation and sRNA sequencing were carried out. 20-22 nucleotide (nt) sRNAs were identified as the main interaction partners of PiAgo1 and high enrichment of 24-26 nt sRNAs was seen in the PiAgo4-bound sample. The majority of PiAgo-associated sRNAs derived from transposable elements (TEs). The frequencies and sizes of TE-derived sRNAs in the different PiAgo libraries suggested diversified roles of the PiAgo proteins in control of different TE classes. We further provide evidence for involvement of PiAgo1 in the P. infestans miRNA pathway. Protein-coding genes are likely to be regulated by the shared action of PiAgo1 and PiAgo5, as demonstrated by analysis of differential expression. An abundance of sRNAs from genes encoding host cell death-inducing CRN effectors was bound to PiAgo1, implicating this protein in regulation of the expanded CRN gene family. These findings highlight the different roles played by Ago proteins in an economically important plant pathogenic oomyce
