Synthetic deconvolution reveals combinatorial properties in transcriptional regulation by auxin

ABSTRACT: Auxin orchestrates multiple transcriptional programs throughout plant development. In flowering plants, responses to auxin relies on a large multigenic family of transcription factors, the auxin response factors (ARF). While ARF combinations are thought to allow programming specific auxin target gene expression, this hypothesis has not been extensively tested. Here, we used a synthetic-driven reductionist approach to deconvolute the complexity of the ARF-dependent signaling. Synthetic promoters built from cis-elements identified as ARF preferential binding sites allowed us to demonstrate that ARF transcriptional properties are not intrinsic but depend on the cis-elements they bind to. Both in isolated cells and in planta, we show that specificity in transcription is encoded by both combinations of ARFs and of the cis-elements they target. Our results suggest that non-linear interactions between these two control layers constitute a unique regulatory system that can generate a wide diversity of gene expression patterns from the spatial auxin distribution.

Nucleo-cytoplasmic partitioning of ARF proteins controls auxin responses in Arabidopsis thaliana

Project description:The phytohormone auxin plays crucial roles in nearly every aspect of plant growth and development. The AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR (ARF) family of transcription factors regulates auxin-responsive gene expression and exhibit nuclear localization in regions of high auxin responsiveness. Here we show that activating ARF7 and ARF19 proteins accumulate in micron-sized assemblies within the cytoplasm of tissues with attenuated auxin responsiveness. The intrinsically disordered middle region and the folded PB1 interaction domain of ARFs drive protein assembly formation. Mutation of a single lysine within the PB1 domain abrogates cytoplasmic assemblies, promotes ARF nuclear localization, and results in an altered transcriptome and morphological defects. Our data suggest a model in which ARF nucleo-cytoplasmic partitioning regulates auxin responsiveness, thus providing a mechanism for cellular competence for auxin signaling.

TAS3-derived short-interfering RNAs confer cleavage of mRNAs in rice

Project description:Plant TRANS-ACTING SIRNA3 (TAS3)-derived short-interfering RNAs (siRNAs) include tasiR-ARFs, which are functionally conserved in targeting AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR (ARF) genes, and a set of non-tasiR-ARF siRNAs, which have rarely been studied. In this study, TAS3 siRNAs were systematically characterized in rice (Oryza sative). Small RNA-seq results showed that an overwhelming majority of TAS3 siRNAs belong to the non-tasiR-ARF group, while tasiR-ARFs occupy a diminutive fraction. Phylogenetic analysis of TAS3 genes across dicot and monocot plants revealed that the siRNA-generating regions were highly conserved in grass species, especially in the oryzoideae. Target genes were identified for not only tasiR-ARFs but also non-tasiR-ARF siRNAs by analyzing rice degradome datasets, and some of these siRNA-target interactions were experimentally confirmed in rice tas3 mutants. Consistent with altered expression of target genes, phenotypic variations were observed for mutants in three TAS3 loci in comparison to wild-type rice. The regulatory role of ribosomes in the TAS3 siRNA-target interactions was further revealed by the fact that TAS3 siRNA-mediated target cleavage, in particular tasiR-ARFs targeting ARF2/3/14/15, occurred extensively in rice polysome samples. Altogether our study sheds new insights into TAS3 genes in plants and expand our knowledge about rice TAS3 siRNA-target interactions.

Comparative mutant analyses reveal a novel mechanism of ARF regulation in land plants [RNA-seq]

Project description:The plant hormone auxin regulates a wide variety of transcriptional responses depending on the cell type, environment, and species. How this diversity is achieved may be related to the specific complement of auxin signalling components in each cell. The levels of activators (class-A AUXIN RESPONSE FACTORS) and repressors (class-B ARFs) are particularly important. Tight regulation of ARF protein levels is likely key in determining this balance. Through comparative analysis of novel, dominant mutants in maize and the moss Physcomitrium patens, we have discovered a ~500-million-year-old (myo) mechanism of class-B ARF protein level regulation mediated by proteasome degradation, important in determining cell fate decisions across land plants. Thus, our results add a key piece to the puzzle of how auxin regulates plant development.

ETTIN regulates genes involved in cell wall modification

Project description:ETTIN (ETT) encodes a member of the Auxin Response Factor (ARF) family of transcription factors. The gynoecia of strong ett mutants show a partial breakdown in abaxial-adaxial (internal -external) polarity, and a shift in tissue boundaries along the apico-basal axis of the gynoecium. This latter effect increases the size of the stigma, style and stipe in ett mutants at the expense of ovary tissue. Among the putative direct targets of ETT, we found several genes encoding either pectin methylesterases (PMEs) or their inhibitors. PMEs may function to increase the extensibility of the cell wall and thus contribute directly to cellular growth. The identification of genes encoding PMEs and related molecules as direct targets of ETT therefore suggests this factor to be situated near the end of a hierarchy of genetic regulation acting on growth through cell wall modification. Other putative direct targets of ETT encode two members of the Aux/IAA protein family, which have been found to negatively regulate ARFs as an inverse function of auxin concentration. ETT lacks the protein domains, present in most ARFs, that are necessary for negative regulation by Aux/IAA proteins and its own activity should not therefore be subject to regulation by auxin concentration. However, the regulation of two Aux/IAA proteins by ETT may represent an input of this protein into an auxin-regulated network involving other ARFs.

Arabidopsis ARF-ARFGEF interaction analyzed by AP-MS

Project description:In Arabidopsis and presumably other flowering plant species as well, there are two non-conserved putative ARF GTPases in addition to the eukaryotically conserved ARF1 (class I) and eight ARF guanine-nucleotide exchange factors (ARF-GEFs) that appear to be involved in specific membrane-trafficking pathways. The aim of the study is to analyze which of the ARFs is activated by which ARF-GEF.

Novel DICER-LIKE1 siRNAs Bypass the Requirement for DICER-LIKE4 in Maize Development

Project description:Dicer enzymes function at the core of RNA silencing to defend against exogenous RNA, or as an endogenous mechanism of gene regulation. Plant DICER-LIKE4 (DCL4) performs dual functions, acting in antiviral defense, as well as in development via the biogenesis of tasiR-ARFs. These small RNAs play an essential role in the grasses and act to spatially define the expression domain of AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR3 (ARF3) transcription factors. However, contrary to tasiR-ARFs’ essential function in development, DCL4 proteins exhibit strong evidence of recurrent adaptation typical of host factors involved in antiviral immunity. Here, we address how DCL4 balances its role in development with pressures to diversify in response to viral attack. We show that, in contrast to other tasiR-ARF biogenesis mutants, dcl4 null alleles condition an uncharacteristically mild phenotype, correlated with normal expression of select arf3 targets. Loss of DCL4 activity yields a class of 22-nt tasiR-ARF variants associated with the processing of arf3 transcripts into 22-nt secondary siRNAs by DCL1. Our findings uncover the presence of a novel DCL1-dependent siRNA pathway that bypasses the otherwise adverse developmental effects of DCL4 mutations. This novel pathway is predicted to have important implications for DCL4’s role in antiviral defense by reducing the selective constraints on DCL4 and allowing it to diversify in response to viral suppressors.

The E3 Ubiquitin Ligase AFF1 targets ARF19 to the proteasome

Project description:Auxin critically regulates nearly every aspect of plant growth and development. Auxin-driven transcriptional responses are mediated through the AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR (ARF) family of transcription factors. Although ARF protein stability is regulated via the 26S proteasome, molecular mechanisms underlying ARF stability and turnover are unknown. Here, we report the identification and functional characterization of an F-Box E3 ubiquitin ligase, which we have named AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR F-BOX1 (AFF1). AFF1 directly interacts with ARF19 and regulates its accumulation. Mutants defective in AFF1 display ARF19 protein hyperaccumulation, mild auxin resistance, and developmental defects. Together, our data suggest a new mechanism, namely control of ARF protein stability, in regulating auxin responsiveness.

Unveiling novel conserved HIV-1 open reading frames encoding T-cell antigens using ribosome profiling.

Project description:Alternative reading frames (ARFs) were described in several viral genomes using ribosome profiling such as HCMV, KSV, and SARS-CoV-2 but no demonstration has been made on HIV genome. Using ribosome profiling, we uncovered 98 conserved HIV ARFs distributed across the genome, with high conservation among HIV clade B and C isolates. Our analysis revealed that at least 42 ARFs encode viral polypeptides, as demonstrated by T-cell responses targeting 45 ARF-derived peptides in patients under treatment or naturally controlling the infection. At the same time, we identified a ligand of HLA-A*0201 derived from an identified ARF on primary infected cells. These responses were mediated by polyfunctional CD4+ T-cells secreting at least 3 cytokines simultaneously. Our discovery expands the list of conserved viral polypeptides that might be potential targets for vaccination strategies.
