Project description:During pattern-triggered immunity (PTI), the first line of active defense against infection in plants, the translatome undergoes rapid reprogamming. To understand how defense proteins are selectively translated, we conducted a genetic screen for regulators of PTI using a translational reporter. We identified a mutant of RNA helicase 12 (RH12) showing compromised reporter translation and pathogen resistance. RH12 is a homolog of yeast DEAD-box Helicase Homolog 1, which targets mRNAs with low codon optimality for decay. Therefore, we sequenced the Arabidopsis tRNAome to determine codon optimality during PTI. We discovered a PTI-associated reduction in overall codon optimality of the transcriptome, and found that the decay of transcripts with reduced optimality is mediated by interaction with RH12. Our results demonstrate the first example of codon optimality-associated decay as part of an adaptive response in which the dynamics of both the tRNAome and the transcriptome facilitate rapid changes in translational output during PTI.

Project description:Heterochromatin is a specialized form of chromatin that restricts access to DNA and inhibits genetic processes, including transcription and recombination. In Neurospora crassa, constitutive heterochromatin is characterized by trimethylation of lysine 9 on histone H3, hypoacetylation of histones, and DNA methylation. Here we explore whether the conserved histone demethylase, lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1), regulates heterochromatin in Neurospora, and if so, how. Though LSD1 is implicated in heterochromatin regulation, its function is inconsistent across different systems; orthologs of LSD1 have been shown to either promote or antagonize heterochromatin expansion by removing H3K4me or H3K9me respectively. We identify three members of the Neurospora LSD complex (LSDC): LSD1, PHF1, and BDP-1, and strains deficient for any exhibit variable spreading of heterochromatin and establishment of new heterochromatin domains dispersed across the genome. Heterochromatin establishment outside of canonical domains in Neurospora share the unusual characteristic of DNA methylation-dependent H3K9me3; typically, H3K9me3 establishment is independent of DNA methylation. Consistent with this, the hyper-H3K9me3 phenotype of LSD1 knock-out strains is dependent on the presence of DNA methylation, as well as HCHC-mediated histone deacetylation, suggesting spreading is dependent on some feedback mechanism. Altogether, our results suggest LSD1 works in opposition to HCHC to maintain proper heterochromatin boundaries.

Project description:The silencing of tRNA-specific adenosine deaminase adat2 in Neurospora crassa abolished most of the I34 modification, resulting in major tRNA profile changes. The adat2 silencing caused genome-wide codon usage-biased ribosome pausing on mRNAs corresponding to changes in the tRNA profile, which reprograms translation elongation kinetics on ADAT-related codons. The ribosome profiling in this study was used to measure the effect of defective I34 modification of the eight tRNAs on translation kinetics during elongation stage. The accompanying mRNA-seq was used to normalize the ribosome profiling data using the same library construction protocol (reference to ARTseq™ Ribosome Profiling Kit (Catalog Number: RPYSC12116)) under the same growth condition. The independent mRNA-seq was used to measure the effect of I34 abolishment on transcriptome change using standard Illumina protocols. Meanwhile, to isolate the role of codon usage in translation elongation and protein level changes when adat2 is silenced, the independent mRNA-seq was also used to exclude the effect of mRNA level changes.

Project description:Many fungi form complex three-dimensional fruiting bodies, within which the meiotic machinery for sexual spore production has been considered to be largely conserved over evolutionary time. Indeed, much of what we know about meiosis in plant and animal taxa has been deeply informed by studies of meiosis in Saccharomyces and Neurospora. Nevertheless, the genetic basis of fruiting body development and its regulation in relation to meiosis in fungi is barely known, even within the best studied multicellular fungal model Neurospora crassa. We characterized morphological development and genome-wide transcriptomics in the closely related species Neurospora crassa, Neurospora tetrasperma, and Neurospora discreta, across eight stages of sexual development. Despite diverse life histories within the genus, all three species produce vase-shaped perithecia. Transcriptome sequencing provided gene expression levels of 2479 orthologous genes among all three species. Expression of key meiosis genes and sporulation genes, corresponded to developmental differences among these Neurospora species during sexual development. Screening N. crassa knockout crosses of genes selected for their expression differences across species, eight genes, whose functions were previously unknown, are found to be critical for the successful formation of perithecia. The absence of these genes in mutant crosses resulted in either no perithecium formation or in arrested development at an early stage. Our results provide insight into the genetic basis of Neurospora sexual reproduction, which is also of great importance with regard to other multicelluar ascomycetes, including fungal pathogens closely related to Neurospora in the Sordariomycetes, such as Fusarium spp, Magnaporthe oryzae, and Nectria haematococca mRNA were sampled and compared from eight time points across sexual reproduction in three Neurospora species

Project description:We present the NEUTRA database, a catalogue of the Neurospora transcriptome, based on RNA-Seq, RNAPII ChIP-Seq and ribosome fractionation studies. The database also includes genome-wide binding sites of transcription factors involved in regulation of circadian gene expression. In a comprehensive analysis of the transcriptome we identified and characterized 1478 long intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs) and 1056 natural antisense transcripts. Both classes of long non-coding RNAs accumulate at lower levels than protein-coding mRNAs and they are considerably shorter. We also confirmed annotated splice sites and identified new splice junctions and alternative splice sites, which are rare in Neurospora. Our analysis revealed that the vast majority of lincRNAs and antisense transcripts do not contain introns. NEUTRA is the first database to provide a collection of genome-wide deep sequencing data for the model organism Neurospora crassa and thus provides a tool that facilitates future research.
