Germline cell identity maintenance by a pair of zinc finger proteins C3H14 and C3H15 in flowering plants

ABSTRACT: In the anther of flowering plants, innermost germline cells (meiocytes) and surrounding somatic cells (tapetum) are differentiated from the same precursor archesporial cells (ARs), and these cells after specification acquire distinct cell identities. However, the maintenance of meiocyte identity is elusive. Here we demonstrate a conserved surveillance mechanism governed by Arabidopsis zinc-finger proteins C3H14 and C3H15, which regulate mRNA homeostasis to safeguard the meiocyte identity. C3H14/C3H15 interacts with P-body proteins and CCR4-NOT deadenylase complex, and is required for eliminating unwanted transcripts. Their deficiency induces ectopic accumulation of mRNAs essential for AR differentiation and tapetum development in meiocytes, thus resulting in a confused meiocyte identity with subsequently tapetum-like reactive oxygen species (ROS) bursts and programmed cell death (PCD). Furthermore, CRISPR-Cas9-induced mutations in AtC3H14/15 paralogs in soybean and rice caused similar defects in meiocyte identity maintenance, indicating that germline cell maintenance by post-transcriptional RNA elimination is conserved in flowering plants.

Nurse cell-derived small RNAs define paternal epigenetic inheritance in Arabidopsis

Project description:We report here that gentic methylation in the male germline, from meiocytes to sperm, is established by siRNAs transcribed from transposons with imperfect sequence homology. These siRNAs are synthesized by meiocyte nurse cells (tapetum) via activity of the chromatin remodeler CLASSY3, which is specifically expressed in tapetal cells. Plants that produce siRNAs only in the tapetum have broadly normal DNA methylation of the entire germline. Finally, we also report that these nurse cell-derived siRNAs (niRNAs) silence germline transposons, thereby safeguarding genome integrity. Our results reveal the crucial role of tapetal niRNAs in germline methylation reprogramming, which is remarkably analogous to piRNA-mediated reprogramming in animal germlines.

Meiosis-associated argonaute (MAGO) proteins are necessary for meiosis in maize

Project description:Plants do not specify their germline until late in their life cycle. Hence, the plant germline is normally specified from terminally differentiated somatic cells, though the precise mechanism(s) are unknown. We have found that male gametogenesis in maize is associated with the accumulation of distinct 21-nt phased small-interfering RNAs (phasiRNAs) generated by meiosis-associated argonaute (MAGO) proteins. MAGO1 accumulates in the epidermis of pre-meiotic anthers while MAGO2 is found in developing meiocytes. We have found that MAGO proteins are required for meiocyte development as mutants display chromosomal defects and male infertility. Furthermore, we detect the heat stress-induced activation of a distinct class of Long terminal repeat retrotransposons in the male germline of MAGO mutants. Our data suggests that MAGO proteins and the reproductive phasiRNAs play important roles protecting the germline from transposable elements during environmental stress conditions.

Establish the male meiocyte-specific epigenomic landscape

Project description:Histone modification maps of H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 of meiocytes were obtained by microlibrary and high-throughput sequencing by extracting meiocytes from rice varieties Azucena and IR64. And the DNA methylation results of meiocytes and flag-leaf of Azucena and IR64 were obtained. By collating this data, the male meiocyte-specific epigenomic landscape is constructed

24-nt phasiRNAs move from tapetal to meiotic cells in maize anthers

Project description:In maize, 24-nt phased, secondary small interfering RNAs (phasiRNAs) are abundant in meiotic stage anthers, but their distribution and functions are not precisely known. Using laser capture microdissection we analyzed tapetal cells, meiocytes, and other somatic cells at several stages of anther development to establish the timing of 24-PHAS precursor transcripts and the 24-nt phasiRNA products. By integrating RNA and small RNA (sRNA) profiling plus single-molecule and sRNA FISH (smFISH or sRNA-FISH) spatial detection, we demonstrate that the tapetum is the primary site of 24-PHAS precursor and Dcl5 transcripts and the resulting 24-nt phasiRNAs. Interestingly, 24-nt phasiRNAs accumulate in all cell types, with the highest levels in meiocytes, followed by tapetum. Our data support the conclusion that 24-nt phasiRNAs are mobile from tapetum to meiocytes and to other somatic cells. We discuss possible roles for 24-nt phasiRNAs in anther cell types.

Heat stress during male meiosis impairs cytoskeletal organization, spindle assembly and tapetum degeneration in wheat

Project description:We demonstrate here that heat stress severely alters the cytoskeletal configuration, cell structure, and global gene expression in male meiocytes and the tapetum layer, in a genotype-dependent manner. ‘Ellvis’, a heat-tolerant winter wheat cultivar, showed high fertility and only scarce structural aberrations upon exposure to high temperature. In addition, heat shock genes and genes involved in the alleviation of reactive oxygen species were significantly upregulated in ‘Ellvis’ and the expression of meiosis-specific and important developmental genes showed high stability in this cultivar. In the heat-sensitive Mv 17-09, however, genes participating in cytoskeletal fiber nucleation, the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) genes, and tapetum-specific developmental regulators were all downregulated. These alterations may be related to the decreased cytoskeleton content, frequent micronuclei formation, and the erroneous persistence of the tapetum layer observed in the sensitive genotype.

Transcriptome analysis of multiple pre-meiotic anther stages and laser microdissected cell types in maize

Project description:Transcriptomes from multiple pre-meiotic stages of wild type, mac1, and msca1 maize anthers were characterized by microarray hybridization. The goal was to characterize the developmental progression as the anther specifies five cell types and grows rapidly precedeing meiotic entry. The stages characterized were immature anther primordia (0.15 mm long in maize) containing just stem cells, through somatic and germinal cell fate specification (0.20 and 0.25 mm), mitotic proliferation (0.4 mm), and finally the birth of the middle layer and tapetum (0.7 mm). To obtain cell-type specific markers, at 0.7 mm we also compared whole anthers to collections of laser-microdissected anther cell types including the archesporial cells (pre-meiotic germinal cells), nutritive layers (middle layer and tapetum) and structural layers (endothecium and epidemis) of the anther lobe. keyword: anther development, maize, male-sterile

Separated Transcriptomes of Male Gametophyte and Tapetum in Rice

Project description:In flowering plants, the male gametophyte, the pollen, develops in the anther. Complex patterns of gene expression in both the gametophytic and sporophytic tissues of the anther regulate this process. The gene expression profiles of the microspore/pollen and the sporophytic tapetum are of particular interest. In this study, a microarray technique combined with laser microdissection (44K LM-microarray) was developed and used to characterize separately the transcriptomes of the microspore/pollen and tapetum in rice. Expression profiles of 11 known tapetum specific-genes were consistent with previous reports. Based on the spatiotemporal expression patterns and gene ontology (GO) categories of anther-expressed genes, some noteworthy expression patterns are discussed in connection with various important biological events of anther development. The separated transcriptomes of rice microspore/pollen and tapetum were measured at the premeiosis, meiosis, tetrad, uninuclear, bicellular, and tricelluar stages by using laser microdissection (LM)-mediated microarray.
