Project description:Small RNAs (21-24 nt) are pivotal regulators of gene expression that guide both transcriptional and post-transcriptional silencing mechanisms in diverse eukaryotes, including most if not all plants. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) and short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are the two major types, both of which have a demonstrated and important role in plant development, stress responses and pathogen resistance. In this work, we used a deep sequencing approach (Sequencing-By-Synthesis, or SBS) to develop sequence resources of small RNAs from cultures of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (in control, phosphate starvation and sulphate starvation conditions). The high depth of the resulting datasets enabled us to examine in detail critical small RNA features as size distribution, tissue-specific regulation and sequence conservation between different organs in this species. We also developed database resources and a dedicated website (http://smallrna.udel.edu/) with computational tools for allowing other users to identify new miRNAs or siRNAs involved in specific regulatory pathways, verify the degree of conservation of these sequences in other plant species and map small RNAs on genes or larger regions of the genome under study.

Small RNA libraries were derived from cultures of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii in control, phosphate starvation and sulphate starvation conditions. Total RNA was isolated using the TriReagent (Molecular Research Center), and submitted to Illumina (Hayward, CA, http://www.illumina.com) for small RNA library construction using approaches described in (Lu et al., 2007) with minor modifications. The small RNA libraries were sequenced with the Sequencing-By-Synthesis (SBS) technology by Illumina. PERL scripts were designed to remove the adapter sequences and determine the abundance of each distinct small RNA.

Project description:The green eukaryote alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a unicellular model to study control of metabolism in a photosynthetic organism. We here present method improvements for metabolite profiling based on GC-TOF mass spectrometry focusing on three parameters: quenching and cell disruption, extract solvent composition and metabolite annotation. These improvements facilitate using smaller cell numbers and hence, smaller culture volumes which enable faster and more precise sampling techniques that eventually lead to a higher number of samples that can be processed, e.g. for time course experiments. Quenching of metabolism was achieved by mixing 1 ml of culture to 1 ml of -70 degrees C cold 70% methanol. After centrifugation, cells were lyophilized and disrupted by milling using 2-6E6 lyophilized cells, around 500-fold less than previously reported. Glass beads were compared to metal balls for milling, and five different extraction solvents were tested. Additionally, all peaks were annotated in an automated way using the GC-TOF database BinBase instead of manual investigation of a single reference chromatogram. Median precision of analysis was used to decide for the eventual procedure which was applied to a proof-of-principle study of time dependent changes of metabolism under standard conditions.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Oxygenic photosynthesis is accompanied by the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which damage proteins, lipids, DNA and finally limit plant yield. The enzymes of the chloroplast antioxidant system are exclusively nuclear encoded. During evolution, plastid and mitochondrial genes were post-endosymbiotically transferred to the nucleus, adapted for eukaryotic gene expression and post-translational protein targeting and supplemented with genes of eukaryotic origin. RESULTS: Here, the genomes of the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, the moss Physcomitrella patens, the lycophyte Selaginella moellendorffii and the seed plant Arabidopsis thaliana were screened for ORFs encoding chloroplast peroxidases. The identified genes were compared for their amino acid sequence similarities and gene structures. Stromal and thylakoid-bound ascorbate peroxidases (APx) share common splice sites demonstrating that they evolved from a common ancestral gene. In contrast to most cormophytes, our results predict that chloroplast APx activity is restricted to the stroma in Chlamydomonas and to thylakoids in Physcomitrella. The moss gene is of retrotransposonal origin.The exon-intron-structures of 2CP genes differ between chlorophytes and streptophytes indicating an independent evolution. According to amino acid sequence characteristics only the A-isoform of Chlamydomonas 2CP may be functionally equivalent to streptophyte 2CP, while the weakly expressed B- and C-isoforms show chlorophyte specific surfaces and amino acid sequence characteristics. The amino acid sequences of chloroplast PrxII are widely conserved between the investigated species. In the analyzed streptophytes, the genes are unspliced, but accumulated four introns in Chlamydomonas. A conserved splice site indicates also a common origin of chlorobiont PrxQ.The similarity of splice sites also demonstrates that streptophyte glutathione peroxidases (GPx) are of common origin. Besides a less related cysteine-type GPx, Chlamydomonas encodes two selenocysteine-type GPx. The latter were lost prior or during streptophyte evolution. CONCLUSION: Throughout plant evolution, there was a strong selective pressure on maintaining the activity of all three investigated types of peroxidases in chloroplasts. APx evolved from a gene, which dates back to times before differentiation of chlorobionts into chlorophytes and streptophytes, while Prx and presumably also GPx gene patterns may have evolved independently in the streptophyte and chlorophyte branches.

Project description:Oryza sativa L. 'Takanari' is one of the most productive indica cultivars [1,2]. Reciprocal chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSLs) derived from a cross between 'Koshihikari' and 'Takanari' are useful tools for the detection and precise mapping of target quantitative trait loci (QTL) in 'Takanari'. Although the available Os-Nipponbare-Reference-IRGSP-1.0 reference genome is available and useful for evaluating genetic diversity among japonica cultivars, it is not always useful for evaluating genetic diversity harbored by indica cultivars such as 'Takanari'. To reveal sequence variants in 'Takanari' and to exploit these variants in rice breeding programs, the whole genome of 'Takanari' was sequenced using a combination of Illumina HiSeq X Ten (20,983,495 reads and %GC 43) and PacBio (2,847,220 high-quality subreads). NGS data obtained have been deposited in the DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ) under accession number DRA007557.

Project description:Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a system that controls the quality of mRNA transcripts in eukaryotes by degradation of aberrant transcripts in a pioneer round of translation. In mammals, NMD targets one-third of mutated, disease-causing mRNAs and ∼10% of unmutated mRNAs, facilitating appropriate cellular responses to environmental changes [1]. In plants, NMD plays an important role in development and regulating abiotic and biotic stress responses [2]. The transcripts with premature termination codons (PTCs), upstream ORFs or long 3'-UTRs can be targeted to NMD. It was shown that alternative splicing plays a crucial role in regulation of NMD triggering, for example, by the introduction of a PTC in transcripts. Therefore, the correct identification of mRNA isoforms is a key step in the study of the principles of regulation of the cell transcriptome by the NMD pathway. Here, we performed long-read sequencing of Physcomitrella (Physcomitrium patens) mutant smg1Δ line 2 native transcriptome by Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT). The smg1Δ is a knockout (KO) mutant deficient in SMG1 kinase is a key component of NMD system in plants and animals [3]. RNA was isolated with Trizol from 5 day old protonemata and sequenced using kit SQK-RNA002, flow cells FLO-MIN106 and a MinION device (Oxford Nanopore Technologies Ltd., UK (ONT)) in three biological repeats. Basecalling was performed with Guppy v.4.0.15. The presented transcriptomes give advantages in the identification and functional characterization of RNA transcripts that are direct targets of the Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay system.

Project description:BackgroundThe moss Physcomitrella patens contains C18- as well as C20-polyunsaturated fatty acids that can be metabolized by different enzymes to form oxylipins such as the cyclopentenone cis(+)-12-oxo phytodienoic acid. Mutants defective in the biosynthesis of cyclopentenones showed reduced fertility, aberrant sporophyte morphology and interrupted sporogenesis. The initial step in this biosynthetic route is the conversion of a fatty acid hydroperoxide to an allene oxide. This reaction is catalyzed by allene oxide synthase (AOS) belonging as hydroperoxide lyase (HPL) to the cytochrome P450 family Cyp74. In this study we characterized two AOS from P. patens, PpAOS1 and PpAOS2.ResultsOur results show that PpAOS1 is highly active with both C18 and C20-hydroperoxy-fatty acid substrates, whereas PpAOS2 is fully active only with C20-substrates, exhibiting trace activity (~1000-fold lower kcat/KM) with C18 substrates. Analysis of products of PpAOS1 and PpHPL further demonstrated that both enzymes have an inherent side activity mirroring the close inter-connection of AOS and HPL catalysis. By employing site directed mutagenesis we provide evidence that single amino acid residues in the active site are also determining the catalytic activity of a 9-/13-AOS - a finding that previously has only been reported for substrate specific 13-AOS. However, PpHPL cannot be converted into an AOS by exchanging the same determinant. Localization studies using YFP-labeled AOS showed that PpAOS2 is localized in the plastid while PpAOS1 may be found in the cytosol. Analysis of the wound-induced cis(+)-12-oxo phytodienoic acid accumulation in PpAOS1 and PpAOS2 single knock-out mutants showed that disruption of PpAOS1, in contrast to PpAOS2, results in a significantly decreased cis(+)-12-oxo phytodienoic acid formation. However, the knock-out mutants of neither PpAOS1 nor PpAOS2 showed reduced fertility, aberrant sporophyte morphology or interrupted sporogenesis.ConclusionsOur study highlights five findings regarding the oxylipin metabolism in P. patens: (i) Both AOS isoforms are capable of metabolizing C18- and C20-derived substrates with different specificities suggesting that both enzymes might have different functions. (ii) Site directed mutagenesis demonstrated that the catalytic trajectories of 9-/13-PpAOS1 and PpHPL are closely inter-connected and PpAOS1 can be inter-converted by a single amino acid exchange into a HPL. (iii) In contrast to PpAOS1, PpAOS2 is localized in the plastid where oxylipin metabolism takes place. (iv) PpAOS1 is essential for wound-induced accumulation of cis(+)-12-oxo phytodienoic acid while PpAOS2 appears not to be involved in the process. (v) Knock-out mutants of neither AOS showed a deviating morphological phenotype suggesting that there are overlapping functions with other Cyp74 enzymes.
