Targeted editing of histone H3K27 trimethylation elucidates its significance in photoperiodic control of flowering

ABSTRACT: Epigenetic modifications play essential roles in regulating gene expression, yet establishing direct causality between specific modifications and transcriptional outcomes remains challenging. In this study, we employed a CRISPR/dCas9-SunTag system to specifically reduce H3K27me3 levels at the FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) gene in Arabidopsis thaliana. Targeting a truncated version of the H3K27 demethylase REF6 lacking its DNA-binding zinc fingers (REF6ΔZnF) to the FT locus effectively decreased local H3K27me3, enhanced FT transcription, and led to early flowering phenotypes, particularly under non-inductive short-day (SD) conditions. Chromatin immunoprecipitation confirmed the site-specific reduction of H3K27me3, with minimal genome-wide changes. Under long-day (LD) conditions, H3K27me3 levels at FT oscillated diurnally, coinciding with FT induction at dusk, while in SD conditions, H3K27me3 remained stable, contributing to FT repression. Our results provide direct evidence that H3K27me3 represses FT transcription under non-inductive conditions and demonstrate the utility of epigenetic editing for fine-tuning gene expression and developmental traits in plants

Effects of StSP6A overexpression and silencing on potato stolons

Project description:Summary StSP6A is a protein with sequence homology to the Arabidopsis FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT). FT is a main component of the long range flowering promoting signal or florigen that induces photoperiodic flowering under long days (LDs). In potato, short days (SDs) promote tuber induction, and wild subspecies like Solanum tuberosum ssp andigena (wild type line 7540) are strictly dependent on SDs to tuberize. StSP6A transcription is induced in leaves and stolons at early stages upon transfer to SD inductive conditions, priotr to visible solon swelling. Transgenic andigena lines over-expressing the StSP6A gene under the control of the 35S promoter are able to tuberize under LD non-inductive conditions, whereas silencing of this gene by means of an specific RNAi construct are strongly delayed in tuber induction in SD inductive conditions. This data indicate that StSP6A plays a central role in the control of tuber induction.

SIN3 LIKE genes mediate long-day induction of flowering but inhibit the floral transition in short days through histone deacetylation in Arabidopsis

Project description:We show that in Arabidopsis SIN3 LIKE (SNL)family genes encoding a scoffold protein for assembly of histone deacetylase complex, directly regulate the expression of an FT activator and three FT repressors to regulate the transition to flowering in short days and long days, respectively. Under inductive long days, SNLs including SIN3 LIKE 1(SNL1) to SNL5, function in partial redundancy to repress the expression of three AP2 family transcription factors that repress FT expression, and thus mediate long-day induction of FT expression and promote the transitiion to flowering. In contrast, under non-inductive short days SNLs act to inhibit the floral transition, partly through direct repression of a MADS box transcriptional factor that promotes FT expression. Thus, our results reveal that SNLs, through histone deacetylation, play a novel dual role for the control of flowering in the long-day plant Arabidopsis: inhibiting flowering when the day length is shorter and promoting the floral transition when days become longer than a threshold length.

REF6 recognizes specific DNA sequence to regulate H3K27me3 demethylation and organ boundary formation

Project description:RELATIVE OF EARLY FLOWERING 6 (REF6, also known as JMJ12) counteracts Polycomb mediated gene silencing through demethylating histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) in Arabidopsis. Genome-wide analysis has demonstrated that REF6 dependent H3K37me3 demethylation occurs on hundreds of genes. However, how these genes are selectively subjected to H3K27me3 demethylation remains elusive. Here we show that a tandem array of four Cys2-His2 zinc finger domains (C2H2-ZF) at REF6 C-terminus are essential for REF6 function. Mechanistically, we find that C2H2-ZF cluster can directly recognize a specific DNA sequence motif, and is essential for binding of REF6 to its targets. In addition, we demonstrate that CUP-SHAPED COTYLEDON 1 (CUC1) and CUC3 harbor such sequence motif and are direct targets of REF6; while their close homolog, CUC2, without such binding motif is not bound by REF6. Furthermore, REF6 is essential for proper H3K27me3 level at CUC1 locus, CUC1 activation and cotyledon separation. Collectively, our study reveals not only a novel mechanism of H3K27me3 demethylase genome targeting to counteract Polycomb silencing, but also a new function of H3K27me3 demethylation in organ boundary formation. All seeds, except for H3K9me2 ChIP-seq, were grown on 1/2MS plate at 23Â°C under long day condition. 12 day after germination (12DAG), whole seedling were harvested for ChIP-seq. anti-HA ChIP-seq were performed with three samples: Col (WT,Negtive control), REF6-HA(REF6p::REF6-HA ref6-1),REF6-ZnF-HA(REF6p::REF6-ZnF-HA ref6-1). anti-H3K27me3 ChIP-seq were performed with four samples: Col (WT), ref6-1 (mutant), REF6-HA(REF6p::REF6-HA ref6-1),REF6-ZnF-HA(REF6p::REF6-ZnF-HA ref6-1).For H3K9me2 ChIP-seq, plants were grown in soil at 23Â°C under long day condition. Aerial part of plants were harvested for ChIP-seq 28d after germination.

Transcription profiling of Arabidopsis micro-dissected apical tissue harvested 0, 3, 5, and 7 days after the shift to LD from SD

Project description:Floral transition and flower development are regulated by numerous environmental and endogenous signals, which are integrated at a relatively small number of floral integrators, such as FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) and SUPPRESSOR OF CONSTANS OVEREXPRESSION 1 (SOC1). Of the environmental factors, photoperiod is regarded the most important one in promoting floral transition in Arabidopsis thaliana and most labstrains will flower earlier under long day (LD) conditions than under short day (SD) conditions. Arabidopsis is therefore considered a facultative LD plant. To monitor gene expression changes during floral transition and early flower development plants were grown under SD (9 hr light, 15 hr dark) for 30 days. Plants were then shifted to LD (16 hr light, 8 hr dark) conditions to induce flowering. RNA was isolated from micro-dissected apical tissue harvested 0, 3, 5, and 7 days after the shift to LD and double-stranded cDNA was synthesized. Biotinylated cRNA probes were prepared and hybridized to the Affymetrix ATH1 array in duplicate (biological replicates). To study floral transition, we not only analyzed response of wildtype Landsberg erecta (Ler) plants, but also the effect of mutants in the flowering time genes CONSTANS (CO; co-2) and FT (ft-2). Early flower development was analyzed by comparing Col-0 wildtype plants with the meristem identity mutant lfy-12 (Col-0).

Characterization of miP1a/b (microProteins) overexpression plants, including a constans mutant (co-SAIL)

Project description:MicroProteins are short, single domain proteins that act by sequestering larger, multidomain proteins into non-functional complexes. MicroProteins have been identified in plants and animals, where they are mostly involved in the regulation of developmental processes. Here we show that two Arabidopsis thaliana microProteins, miP1a and miP1b, physically interact with CONSTANS (CO) a potent regulator of flowering time. The miP1a/b-type microProteins evolved in dicotyledonous plants and have an additional carboxy-terminal PF(V/L)FL motif. This motif enables miP1a/b microProteins to interact with TOPLESS/TOPLESS-RELATED (TPL/TPR) proteins. Interaction of CO with miP1a/b/TPL causes late flowering due to a failure in the induction of FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) expression under inductive long day conditions. Both miP1a and miP1b are expressed in vascular tissue, where CO and FT are active. Genetically, miP1a/b act upstream of CO thus our findings unravel a novel layer of flowering time regulation via microProtein-inhibition.

Differential gene expression in ref6-1

Project description:We demonstrate that REF6/JMJ12 (RELATIVE OF EARLY FLOWERING 6/Jumonji domain-containing protein 12) is an H3K27me3 and H3K27me2 demethylase. Plants overexpressing REF6/JMJ12 resemble mutants defective in H3K27me3-mediated gene silencing. Genetic interaction tests indicate that REF6/JMJ12 acts downstream of H3K27me3 methyltransferases. Moreover, loss of REF6/JMJ12 leads to ectopic and increased H3K27me3 and decreased mRNA expression of a large spectrum of genes involved in development and hormone responses to stimuli. Expression array to identify differentially expressed genes in ref6-1. For genome-wide expression analysis of ref6/jmj12, two replicates of Col and ref6/jmj12 samples (RNA from 10-day-old whole seedlings on MS plates in long day conditions at 23 degrees) were analyzed on an Affymetrix ATH1 chip by an Affymetrix service facility (CapitalBio Corporation) according to the manufacturer's protocols. Genes showing a 20.6-fold change with a q-value < 0.05 were considered as differentially expressed.
