Uncovering the novel signaling components in warm temperature mediated regulation of transcriptome in Arabidopsis thaliana

ABSTRACT: Transcriptome analysis suggests that lrb123 and pif3 mutants have similar gene expression profiles with pif4 mutants, suggesting that LRBs and PIF3 have overlapping functions with PIF4. Further analysis revealed that most of the genes induced by PIF4 in a temperature-dependent manner are strongly downregulated. These genes belong to the Auxin/BR growth hormone pathways, wherein genes involved in auxin/BR biosynthesis and signalling are severely perturbed in response to 27°C compared to 22°C. These results indicate that LRBs and PIF3-mediated induction of PIF4 target genes in response to warm temperature is likely through PIF4. Moreover, our data also demonstrate that both LRBs and PIF3 inhibit the expression of light-responsive genes in response to warmth, further highlighting the role of LRBs and PIF3 in promoting thermomorphogenesis, is by directly promoting growth-responsive genes, and second by inhibiting light signalling genes. Together, we conclude that LRBs and PIF3 are novel components of the thermosensory pathway and are essential to promote themomorhogensis, likely by enhancing the PIF4 activity and down gene expression.

The epidermis coordinates thermoresponsive growth through the phyB-PIF4-auxin pathway

Project description:In plants, an elevation in ambient temperature induces morphological changes including elongation hypocotyls, considered to be adaptive responses to alleviate the heat-induced damages. The high temperature-induced morphological changes are called thermomorphogenesis, which is predominantly regulated by a bHLH transcription factor PIF4. Although PIF4 is expressed in all aerial tissues including the epidermis, mesophyll, and vascular bundle, its tissue-specific functions in thermomorphogenesis are not known. Here, we found that epidermis-specific expression of PIF4 induced constitutive long hypocotyls, while vasculature-specific expression of PIF4 had no effect on hypocotyl growth. Consistently, RNA-Seq and qRT-PCR analyses revealed that auxin responsive genes and growth-related genes were highly activated by epidermal, but not by vascular, PIF4. The epidermal, but not vascular, inactivation of PIF4 by a PIF4 artificial microRNA or a dominant negative form of PIF4 suppressed thermoresponsive gene expression and hypocotyl growth. Additionally, both the block of epidermal auxin signaling and the epidermal overexpression of a thermosensor phytochrome B (phyB) inhibited thermoresponsive growth, indicating that epidermal PIF4-auxin pathway are essential for the temperature responses. We further show that epidermal PIF4 is increased by high temperatures mainly through the transcriptional activation of PIF4. Taken together, our study demonstrates that the epidermis regulates thermoresponsive growth through the phyB-PIF4-auxin pathway.

PIF4/HEMERA-mediated daytime thermosensory growth requires the Mediator subunit MED14

Project description:Warm ambient temperatures do not trigger stress responses in plants but stimulate the growth of specific organs. The basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTOR 4 (PIF4) plays a central role in regulating thermomorphogenetic hypocotyl elongation in various plant species, including the model dicotyledonous plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Although it is well known that PIF4 promotes plant thermosensory growth by activating key genes involved in the biosynthesis and signaling of the phytohormone auxin, the detailed molecular mechanism of such transcriptional activation is still not clear. Our previous studies demonstrated that HEMERA (HMR), a transcription co-activator of PIF4, promotes the thermo-induced expression of PIF4 target genes through the nine-amino-acid transactivation domain (9aaTAD) in its carboxy-terminus. In this report, we investigate the role of the Mediator complex in the PIF4/HMR-mediated thermoresponsive gene expression. Through the characterization of various mutants of the Mediator complex, a tail subunit named MED14 is identified as an essential factor for thermomorphogenetic hypocotyl growth. MED14 is required for the thermal induction of key PIF4 target genes but has a marginal effect on the levels of PIF4 and HMR. Further transcriptomic analyses confirm that the expression of numerous PIF4/HMR-dependent, auxin-related genes requires MED14 at a warm temperature. Moreover, PIF4 and HMR physically interact with MED14 and both are indispensable for the association of MED14 with the promoters of these thermoresponsive genes. Together, these results unveil an important thermomorphogenetic mechanism, in which PIF4 and its coactivator HMR recruit the Mediator complex to activate auxin-related growth-promoting genes when plants sense moderate increases in ambient temperature.

BIC1 acts as a transcriptional coactivator to promote brassinosteroid signaling and plant 14 1 growth

Project description:The BRASSINAZOLE-RESISTANT 1 (BZR1) transcription factor family plays an essential role in plant brassinosteroid (BR) signaling, but the signaling mechanism through which BZR1 and its homologs cooperate with certain coactivators to facilitate transcription of target genes remains incompletely understood. In this study, we used an efficient protein interaction screening system to identify blue-light inhibitor of cryptochromes 1 (BIC1) as a new BZR1-interacting protein in Arabidopsis thaliana. We show that BIC1 positively regulates BR signaling and acts as a transcriptional coactivator for BZR1-dependent activation of BR-responsive genes. Simultaneously, BIC1 interacts with the transcription factor PIF4 to synergistically and interdependently activate expression of downstream genes including PIF4 itself, and to promote plant growth. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays demonstrate that BIC1 and BZR1/PIF4 interdependently associate with the promoters of common target genes. In addition, we show that the interaction between BIC1 and BZR1 is evolutionally conserved in the model monocot plant Triticum aestivum (bread wheat). Together, our results reveal mechanistic details of BR signaling mediated by a transcriptional activation module BIC1/BZR1/PIF4 and thus provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the integration of BR and light signaling in plants.

Interaction between BZR1 and PIF4 integrates brassinosteroid and environmental responses [RNA-seq]

Project description:Plant growth is coordinately regulated by environmental and hormonal signals. Brassinosteroid (BR) plays essential roles in growth regulation by light and temperature, but the interactions between BR and these environmental signals remain poorly understood at the molecular level. Here, we show that direct interaction between the dark- and heat-activated transcription factor phytochrome-interacting factor4 (PIF4) and the BR-activated transcription factor BZR1 integrates the hormonal and environmental signals. BZR1 and PIF4 interact with each other in vitro and in vivo, bind to nearly two thousand common target genes, and synergistically regulate many of these target genes, including the PRE family HLH factors required for promoting cell elongation. Genetic analysis indicates that BZR1 and PIFs are interdependent in promoting cell elongation in response to BR, darkness, or heat. These results show that the BZR1-PIF4 interaction controls a core transcription network, allowing plant growth co-regulation by the steroid and environmental signals.

Phytochrome Interacting Factors 4 and 5 redundantly limit seedling de-etiolation in continuous far-red light.

Project description:Phytochromes are red/far red photosensors regulating numerous developmental programs in plants. Among them phytochrome A (phyA) is essential to enable seedling de-etiolation in continuous far-red (FR) light a condition mimicking the environment under a dense canopy. The ecological relevance of this response is demonstrated by the high mortality rate of phyA mutants germinating in deep vegetational shade. phyA signaling involves a direct interaction of the photoreceptor with members of the bHLH transcription factor family, PIF1 and PIF3 (Phytochrome Interacting Factor). Here we investigated the involvement of PIF4 and PIF5 in phyA signaling and found that they redundantly control de-etiolation in FR light. The pif4pif5 double mutant is hypersensitive to low fluence rates of FR light. This phenotype is dependent on FR light perception by phyA but does not rely on alterations of the phyA level. Our microarrays analysis shows that PIF4 and PIF5 are part of an inhibitory mechanism repressing the expression of some light-responsive genes in the dark and are also needed for full expression of several growth-related genes in the light. Unlike PIF1 and PIF3, PIF4 and PIF5 are not degraded in response to FR light indicating that they are light-regulated by a different mechanism. Our genetic analysis suggests that this is achieved through the sequestration of these PIFs by the closely related bHLH transcription factor HFR1 (long Hypocotyl in FR light).

Transcriptional profiling of leaf blades and petioles subjected to shade avoidance syndrome

Project description:Plants grown under a canopy recognize changes in light quality and modify their growth patterns; this modification is known as shade avoidance syndrome. In leaves, leaf blade expansion is suppressed, whereas petiole elongation is promoted under the shade. However, the mechanisms that control these responses are largely unclear. Here, we demonstrated that both auxin and brassinosteroid (BR) are required for the normal leaf responses to shade. The microarray analysis of leaf blades and petioles treated with end-of-day far-red light (EODFR) revealed that almost half of the genes induced by the treatment in both parts were previously identified as auxin-responsive genes. Likewise, BR-responsive genes were overrepresented in the EODFR-induced genes. Hence, the auxin and BR responses were elevated by EODFR treatment in both leaf blades and petioles, although opposing growth responses were observed in these two parts. The analysis of the auxin-deficient doc1/big mutant and BR-deficient rot3/cyp90c1 mutant further indicates that auxin and BR were equally required for the normal petiole elongation response to the shade stimulus. In addition, the spotlight irradiation experiment revealed that phytochrome in leaf blades but not that in petioles regulated petiole elongation, which was probably mediated through regulation of the auxin/BR responses in petioles. On the basis of these findings, we conclude that auxin and BR cooperatively promote petiole elongation in response to the shade stimulus under the control of phytochrome in the leaf blade.

Integrative phenotyping approaches to unmask the Phyb-PIF4 pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana reproductive organs at high ambient temperatures

Project description:The increasing ambient temperature significantly impacts plant growth, development, and reproduction. Uncovering the temperature-regulating mechanisms in plants is of high importance, not only for boosting our plant biology knowledge but also for assisting plant breeders in improving plant resilience to these stress conditions. Numerous studies on the molecular mechanisms by which plants regulate temperature responses revealed that plants employ distinct transcription factors to regulate thermomorphogenesis specific to each tissue type. A significant discovery in this field was the identification of PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTORs (PIFs) as key regulators of thermomorphogenesis during vegetative growth. PIF4, a regulator of auxin-mediated signaling pathways, is crucial in controlling high-temperature responses. In this study, we screened the temperature responses of the wild type and several PhyB-PIF4 pathway Arabidopsis mutant lines in combined and integrative phenotyping platforms for root in soil, shoot, inflorescence, and seed. We demonstrated that high ambient temperature differentially impacts vegetative and reproductive organs through this pathway. Suppression of the PhyB-PIF4 components mimics the response to a high ambient temperature in wild-type plants. We also identified correlative responses to high ambient temperature between shoot and root tissues. This integrative and automated phenotyping was complemented by monitoring the changes in transcript levels in reproductive organs. Transcriptomic profiling of the pistils from plants grown under high ambient temperature identified key elements that may provide clues to the molecular mechanisms behind temperature-induced reduced fertilization rate, such as a downregulation of auxin metabolism, upregulation of genes involved auxin signalling, miRNA156 and miRN160 pathways, pollen tube attractants.
