The ALOG domain defines a new family of plant-specific transcription factors acting during Arabidopsis flower development

ABSTRACT: The ALOGs (Arabidopsis LIGHT-DEPENDENT SHORT HYPOCOTYLS 1 and Oryza G1) are Transcription Factors (TFs) from an evolutionarily conserved plant-specific family shown to play critical roles in meristem identity, inflorescence architecture and organ boundaries in diverse species from mosses to higher flowering plants. However, the DNA binding-specificity and molecular determinants of protein-DNA interactions of this family were uncharacterized. Using in vitro genome-wide studies, we identified the conserved DNA motif bound by ALOG proteins from the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha and the flowering plants Arabidopsis, tomato and rice. In order to determine the amino acids responsible for DNA-binding specificity, we solved the 2.1Å structure of the ALOG DNA binding domain in complex with its cognate DNA. The ALOG DBD is an all-alpha helical domain with a structural zinc ribbon insertion and an N-terminal disordered NLS. The NLS sequence forms an integral part of the DNA binding domain and contributes to direct base read-out. To define the function of a group of redundant ALOG proteins in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, we generated a series of alog mutants and uncovered their participation in a gene regulatory network involving the other floral regulators LEAFY, BLADE-ON-PETIOLE and PUCHI, all active in defining boundary regions between reproductive meristems and repressing bracts development. Taken together, this work provides the biochemical and structural basis for DNA-binding specificity of an evolutionarily conserved TF family and reveals its role as a key player in defining organ boundaries in Arabidopsis.

CONSTANS Imparts DNA Sequence Specificity to the Histone Fold NF-YB/NF-YC Dimer

Project description:Nuclear Factor Y (NF-Y) is a heterotrimeric transcription factor that binds CCAAT elements. The NF-Y trimer is composed of a Histone Fold Domain (HFD) dimer (NF-YB/NF-YC) and NF-YA, which confers DNA sequence specificity. NF-YA shares a conserved domain with the CONSTANS, CONSTANS-LIKE, TOC1 (CCT) proteins. We show that CONSTANS (CO/B-BOX PROTEIN1 BBX1), a master flowering regulator, forms a trimer with Arabidopsis thaliana NF-YB2/NF-YC3 to efficiently bind the CORE element of the FLOWERING LOCUS T promoter. Using saturation mutagenesis, electrophoretic mobility shift assays, and RNA-sequencing profiling of co, nf-yb, and nf-yc mutants, we identify CCACA elements as the core NF-CO binding site. CO physically interacts with the same HFD surface required for NF-YA association, as determined by mutations in NF-YB2 and NF-YC9, and tested in vitro and in vivo. The co-7 mutation in the CCT domain, corresponding to an NF-YA arginine directly involved in CCAAT recognition, abolishes NF-CO binding to DNA

RNA-Seq of Col-0, dek3-2, dek4-2, and dek3-2 dek4-2 (dd-2) 7-day-old seedlings in Arabidopsis

Project description:Evolutionarily conserved DEK domain-containing proteins have been implicated in multiple chromatin-related processes, mRNA splicing, and transcriptional regulation in eukaryotes. Here, we show that two DEK proteins, DEK3 and DEK4, redundantly control the floral transition in Arabidopsis. DEK3 and DEK4 directly associate with chromatin of related flowering repressors, FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC), and its two homologs, MADS AFFECTING FLOWERING4 (MAF4) and MAF5, to promote their expression. The binding of DEK3 and DEK4 to histone octamer in vivo affects histone modifications at FLC, MAF4 and MAF5 loci. In addition, DEK3 and DEK4 interact with RNA polymerase II and promote the association of RNA polymerase II with FLC, MAF4 and MAF5 chromatin to promote their expression. Our results show that DEK3 and DEK4 directly interact with chromatin to facilitate the transcription of key flowering repressors and thus prevent precocious flowering in Arabidopsis.

Differences in DNA-binding specificity of floral homeotic protein complexes predict organ-specific target genes

Project description:Floral organ identities in plants are specified by the combinatorial action of homeotic master regulatory transcription factors (TFs). How these factors achieve their regulatory specificities is however still largely unclear. Genome-wide in vivo DNA binding data show that homeotic MADS-domain proteins recognize partly distinct genomic regions, suggesting that DNA binding specificity contributes to functional differences of homeotic protein complexes. We used in vitro systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment followed by high throughput DNA sequencing (SELEX-seq) on several floral MADS-domain protein homo- and heterodimers to measure their DNA-binding specificities. We show that specification of reproductive organs is associated with distinct binding preferences of a complex formed by SEPALLATA3 (SEP3) and AGAMOUS (AG). Binding specificity is further modulated by different binding site (BS) spacing preferences. Combination of SELEX-seq and genome-wide DNA binding data allows to differentiate between targets in specification of reproductive versus perianth organs in the flower. We validate the importance of DNA-binding specificity for organ-specific gene regulation by modulating promoter activity through targeted mutagenesis. Our study shows that intrafamily protein interactions affect DNA-binding specificity of floral MADS-domain proteins. DNA-binding specificity of individual dimers, as well as DNA-binding preferences of higher-order complexes differ between floral homeotic protein complexes. Differential DNA-binding of MADS-domain protein complexes plays a role in the specificity of target gene regulation.

The Arabidopsis GAGA-binding factor BPC6 recruits PRC1 component LHP1 to GAGA DNA-motifs

Project description:Plant BBR/BPC transcription factors contain the conserved Basic-Pentacystein (BPC) DNA-binding domain. Arabidopsis group II BBR/BPC proteins interact with PRC1 component LHP1 in vivo. Microarray experiments with Arabidopsis bpc4 bpc6, lhp1-4 and lhp1-4 bpc4 bpc6 suggest an importance of this interaction in the concerted repression of homeotic genes. In this study, we used the ATH1 GeneChip microarray to investigate transcript abundance in different Arabidopsis thaliana genotypes.

Methylation-dependent and -independent genomic targeting principles of the MBD protein family

Project description:In order to gain insight into DNA methylation readout, we have established a controlled strategy for profiling genomic targeting of chromatin-interacting factors in vivo. With this approach we determined binding preferences for the methyl-CpG binding domain (MBD) family of proteins, including disease relevant mutants, deletions and isoforms. In vivo binding of MBD proteins occurs as a linear function of local methylation density, and is dependent on functional MBD domain M-bM-^@M-^S methyl-CpG interactions. This directs specificity of MBD proteins to methylated, CpG dense and inactive regulatory regions. In contrast, binding to unmethylated sites is MBD protein specific and mediated via alternative domains or protein-protein interactions. The latter is observed for NuRD complex-mediated MBD2 tethering to a subset of unmethylated, tissue-specific regulatory regions, similar to MBD3. These functional binding maps reveal methylation-dependent and -independent binding modes determined by distinct protein domains and revise current models of DNA methylation readout through MBD proteins. Comparative binding analysis for the MBD family of proteins utilizing recombinase-assisted mapping of biotin-tagged proteins (RAMBiO). This set contains maps for 29 samples including wild type MBD proteins, mutants and domain variants in mouse ES cells, derived neurons (NP and TN) and Dnmt1/3a/3b triple-KO ES cells (TKO).

Components of the autonomous flowering pathway form a complex that suppresses FLC transcription by regulating multiple histone modifications [ChIP-seq]

Project description:The autonomous flowering pathway promotes flowering in rapid-flowering accessions of Arabidopsis thaliana by reducing the expression of the key flowering repressor gene FLC. Although previous studies identified several autonomous pathway components, little is known about how these components cooperate in the regulation of flowering time. Here, we identified an autonomous pathway complex (APC) composed of three known autonomous pathway components (FLD, LD, and SDG26) and three previously uncharacterized components (EFL2, EFL4, and APRF1). Loss-of-function mutations of all of these components result in increased FLC expression and delayed flowering. The late-flowering phenotype is independent of photoperiod and can be overcome by vernalization, supporting the inference that the complex regulates flowering time specifically through the autonomous pathway. Our ChIP-seq analyses indicated that the APC components are required for the suppression of the histone modifications (H3Ac, H3K4me3, and H3K36me3) associated with the activation of gene expression and for the promotion of the histone modification (H3K27me3) associated with the repression of gene expression at FLC. We also found that the C-terminal coiled-coil domain of SDG26 binds to DNA in vitro and that the DNA-binding ability mediates the association of SDG26 with FLC chromatin in vivo. These results reveal the molecular basis of the autonomous pathway.
