RNA Pol IV induces antagonistic parent-of-origin effects on Arabidopsis endosperm [sRNA_seq libraries]

ABSTRACT: Gene expression in endosperm – a seed tissue that mediates transfer of maternal resources to offspring – is under complex epigenetic control. We show here that plant-specific RNA Polymerase IV mediates parental control of endosperm gene expression. Pol IV is required for the production of small interfering RNAs that typically direct DNA methylation. We compared small RNAs, DNA methylation, and mRNAs in A. thaliana endosperm from reciprocal heterozygotes produced by crossing wild-type plants to Pol IV mutants. We find that maternally and paternally acting Pol IV have divergent effects on endosperm. Losses of maternal and paternal Pol IV impact sRNAs and DNA methylation at distinct genomic sites. Strikingly, maternally and paternally-acting Pol IV have antagonistic impacts on gene expression at some loci, divergently promoting or repressing endosperm gene expression. Antagonistic parent-of origin effects have only rarely been described and are consistent with a gene regulatory system evolving under parental conflict

A small RNA pathway mediates allelic dosage in endosperm [sRNA-seq]

Project description:Balance between maternal and paternal genomes within the triploid endosperm is necessary for normal seed development. The majority of endosperm genes are expressed in a 2:1 maternal:paternal ratio, reflecting genomic DNA content. Here we find that the 2:1 transcriptional ratio is, unexpectedly, actively regulated. In A. thaliana and A. lyrata, endosperm 24 nt small RNAs are reduced in TEs and enriched in genes compared to the embryo. We find an inverse relationship between the parent-of-origin of sRNAs and mRNAs, with genes more likely to be associated with maternally than paternally biased sRNAs. Disruption of the Pol IV sRNA pathway causes a shift toward maternal allele mRNA expression for many genes. Furthermore, paternal inheritance of an RNA Pol IV mutation is sufficient to rescue seed abortion caused by excess paternal genome dosage. Thus, RNA Pol IV mediates transcriptional balance between maternally and paternally inherited genomes in endosperm.

Transcriptional and imprinting complexity in Arabidopsis seeds at single-nucleus resolution

Project description:Seeds are the basis of agriculture, yet their full transcriptional complexity has remained unknown. Here, we employ single-nucleus RNA-sequencing to characterize developing Arabidopsis thaliana seeds, with a focus on endosperm. Endosperm, the site of gene imprinting in plants, mediates the relationship between the maternal parent and embryo. We identify new cell types in the chalazal endosperm region, which interfaces with maternal tissue for nutrient unloading. We further demonstrate that the extent of parental bias of maternally expressed imprinted genes varies with cell cycle phase, and that imprinting of paternally expressed imprinted genes is strongest in chalazal endosperm. These data indicate imprinting in endosperm is heterogeneous and suggest that parental conflict, which is proposed to drive the evolution of imprinting, is fiercest at the boundary between filial and maternal tissues.

Parental conflict driven regulation of endosperm cellularization by a family of Auxin Response Factors

Project description:The endosperm is a reproductive tissue supporting embryo development. In most 30 flowering plants, the initial divisions of endosperm nuclei are not succeeded by 31 cellularization; this process occurs only after a specific number of mitotic cycles have 32 taken place. The timing of cellularization significantly influences seed viability and size. 33 Previous research implicated auxin as a key factor in initiating nuclear divisions and 34 determining the timing of cellularization. Here, we uncover the involvement of a family 35 of clustered auxin response factors (cARFs) as dosage-sensitive regulators of 36 endosperm cellularization. cARFs, maternally expressed and paternally silenced, are 37 shown to induce cellularization, thereby restricting seed growth. Our findings align with 38 the predictions of the parental conflict theory, suggesting that cARFs represent major 39 molecular targets in this conflict. We further demonstrate a recurring amplification of 40 cARFs in the Brassicaceae, suggesting an evolutionary response to parental conflict 41 by reinforcing maternal control over endosperm cellularization. Our study highlights 42 that antagonistic parental control on endosperm cellularization converges on auxin 43 biosynthesis and signaling.

Chromosome wide analysis of parental allele specific chromatin and DNA methylation

Project description:Imprinted genes are monoallelically expressed according to parental inheritance. The maternally and paternally expressed alleles are distinguished epigenetically by DNA methylation and histone modifications.

Imprinted expression of genes and small RNA is triggered by localized demethylation of the maternal genome in rice endosperm

Project description:We report that rice endosperm shows a specific hypomethylation of DNA in the maternal genome, preferring regions of high DNA accessibility. Maternally expressed imprinted genes are enriched for hypomethylation at putative promoter regions and transcriptional termini, and paternally expressed genes at promoters and gene bodies, mirroring our recent results in A. thaliana. However, unlike in A. thaliana, rice endosperm sRNA populations are dominated by specific strong sRNA-producing loci, and imprinted 24-nt sRNAs are expressed from both parental genomes and correlate with hypomethylation. Overlaps between imprinted sRNA loci and imprinted genes expressed from opposite alleles suggest that sRNAs may regulate genomic imprinting. Whereas sRNAs in seedling tissues primarily originate from small Class II (cut and paste) transposable elements, those in endosperm are much more uniformly derived, including sequences from other TE classes, as well as genic and intergenic regions. Our data indicate that the endosperm exhibits a unique pattern of sRNA expression and suggest that demethylation of maternal endosperm DNA is conserved in flowering plants.

Genome-wide parent-of-origin DNA methylation analysis [Methyl-seq]

Project description:Genomic imprinting is a form of epigenetic regulation that results in expression of either the maternally or paternally inherited allele of a subset of genes. Imprinted loci contain differentially methylated regions (DMRs) where cytosine methylation marks one of the parental alleles, providing cis-acting regulatory elements that influence the allelic expression of surrounding genes, however to date the total number of imprinted loci within the human genome is unknown. To characterize known imprinted DMRS and identify novel imprinted loci we have performed whole-genome bisulphite sequencing and high-resolution DNA methylation array analysis of healthy tissues. Sequencing of bisulfite converted DNA analysis of normal brain (white matter), liver and term placenta tissue
