RACK1 function in the miRNA pathway

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate plant development by post-transcriptional regulation of target genes. In Arabidopsis thaliana, DCL1 processes precursors (pri-miRNAs) to miRNA duplexes, which associate with AGO1. Additional proteins act in concert with DCL1 (e.g. HYL1 and SERRATE) or AGO1, respectively, to facilitate efficient and precise pri-miRNA processing and miRNA loading. In this study, we show that the accumulation of plant microRNAs depends on RECEPTOR FOR ACTIVATED C KINASE 1 (RACK1), a scaffold protein found in all higher eukaryotes. miRNA levels are reduced in rack1 mutants and our data suggest that RACK1 affects the microRNA pathway via several distinct mechanisms involving direct interactions with known microRNA factors: RACK1 ensures the accumulation and processing of some pri-miRNAs, directly interacts with SERRATE and is part of an AGO1 complex. As a result, mutations in RACK1 lead to misregulation of miRNA target genes, which is important for ABA responses and phyllotaxy. In conclusion, our study discovered complex functioning of RACK1 proteins in the Arabidopsis miRNA pathway, which are important for miRNA production and therefore plant development.

RACK1 function in the miRNA pathway

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate different aspects of plant development by post-transcriptional regulation of target genes. In Arabidopsis, DICER-LIKE 1 (DCL1) processes miRNA precursors (pri-miRNAs) to miRNA duplexes, which associate with ARGONAUTE 1 (AGO1). AGO1 together with the miRNA guide strand binds complementary RNA sequences within target mRNAs. Additional proteins act in concert with DCL1 (e.g. HYL1 and SERRATE) and AGO1, respectively, to facilitate efficient and precise pri-miRNA processing and loading into the effector protein. Here, we show that RECEPTOR OF ACTIVATED C KINASE 1 (RACK1) is a novel component of the Arabidopsis miRNA pathway. RACK1 is a seven-bladed WD-repeat protein that has previously been shown to act as a scaffold protein mediating multiple simultaneous protein-protein interactions. Our molecular analyses demonstrate that RACK1 function is required for controlling miRNA-mediated gene expression. rack1 mutants contain only low levels of mature miRNAs without affecting the first step of pri-miRNA processing. Physical and genetic interaction studies revealed that RACK1 acts in concert with AGO1 and also interacts with a SERRATE, a component of the miRNA processing machinery. These results suggest that RACK1 also functions as a scaffold protein in the miRNA pathway to orchestrates miRNA maturation steps after the initial events of pri-miRNA processing. sequencing of small RNAs from WT and rack1abc mutants (two biological replicates each)

The Roles of Arabidopsis CDF2 in Transcriptional and Posttranscriptional Regulation of Primary MicroRNAs

Project description:The precise regulation of microRNA (miRNA) transcription and processing is important for eukaryotic development. Plant miRNAs are first transcribed as stem-loop primary miRNAs (pri-miRNAs) by RNA polymerase II，then cleaved in the nucleus into mature miRNAs by Dicer-like 1 (DCL1). We identified a cycling DOF transcription factor, CDF2, which interacts with DCL1 and regulates the accumulation of a population of miRNAs. CDF2 binds directly to the promoters of some miRNAs and works as a transcription activator or repressor for these miRNA genes. CDF2 binds preferentially to the pri-miRNAs regulated by itself and suppresses DCL1-mediated pri-miRNA processing. Genetically, CDF2 works in the same pathway as miR156 or miR172 to control flowering. We conclude that CDF2 regulates a group of pri-miRNAs at both the transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels to maintain proper levels of their mature miRNAs to control plant development.

Transcription profiling of wild type and serrate-1 mutant Arabidopsis seedlings to investigate regulation of miRNA levels

Project description:microRNAs function as sequence-specific guides to regulate genes by post-transcriptional gene silencing. Many miRNAs are involved in the control plant development by regulating the accumulation of transcripts encoding transcription factors. This causes pleiotropic developmental phenotypes of mutants defective in miRNA accumulation, such as dcl1, hen1, hyl1 and ago1. The serrate-1 (se-1) mutant of Arabidopsis also exhibits a highly pleiotropic phenotype which overlaps with phenotypes of mutants defective in miRNA accumulation. It has been proposed that SE functions specifically in miRNA-mediated repression of the leaf polarity genes PHABULOSA and PHAVOLUTA. Microarray analysis of transcript levels in se-1 compared to wild-type however revealed upregulation of many genes known to be targets of miRNA regulation. We show that SE is a general regulator of miRNA levels probably controlling processing of pri-miRNA to miRNA.

A quantitative map of human primary microRNA processing sites

Project description:Maturation of canonical microRNA (miRNA) is initiated by DROSHA that cleaves the primary transcript (pri-miRNA). Over 1,800 miRNA loci are annotated in humans, but it remains largely unknown if and at which sites the pri-miRNAs are cleaved by DROSHA. Here we performed in vitro processing on a full set of human pri-miRNAs (miRBase v21) followed by sequencing. This comprehensive profiling enabled us to classify miRNAs based on DROSHA-dependence and map their cleavage sites with respective processing efficiency measures. Only 758 pri-miRNAs are confidently processed by DROSHA, while the majority may be non-canonical or false entries. Analyses of the DROSHA-dependent pri-miRNAs show key cis-elements for processing. We observe widespread alternative processing as well as unproductive cleavage events such as “nick” or “inverse” processing. SRSF3 is a broad-acting auxiliary factor modulating alternative processing and suppressing unproductive processing. The profiling data and methods developed in this study will allow systematic analyses of miRNA regulation.

Spliceosome disassembly factors ILP1 and NTR1 promote microRNA biogenesis in Arabidopsis

Project description:A battery of spliceosome-associated proteins has been identified in microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis; however, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. The intron lariat spliceosome (ILS) complex is highly conserved among eukaryotes and its disassembly marks the end of a canonical splicing cycle. In this study, we show that two conserved disassembly factors of the ILS complex, ILP1 and NTR1, positively regulate microRNA biogenesis through facilitating transcriptional elongation in Arabidopsis. ILP1 and NTR1 form a stable complex and co-regulate alternative splicing of more than a hundred genes across the genome including the core circadian gene LHY and some pri-miRNAs. Dysfunction in either ILP1 or NTR1 result in reduced RNA polymerase II occupancy at elongated regions of MIR chromatins, without affecting MIR promoter activity, pri-miRNA decay and DCL1 processing. Our results provide insights into the molecular mechanisms of spliceosomal machineries in non-coding RNA regulation.

NOT2 proteins promote Pol II-dependent transcription and interact with multiple miRNA biogenesis factors in Arabidopsis

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play key regulatory roles in numerous developmental and physiological processes in animals and plants. The elaborate mechanism of miRNA biogenesis involves transcription and multiple processing steps. Here, we report the identification of a pair of evolutionarily conserved NOT2_3_5 domain containing proteins, NOT2a and NOT2b (previously known as At-NOT2 and VIP2, respectively), as components involved in Arabidopsis miRNA biogenesis. NOT2 was identified by its interaction with the Piwi/Ago/Zwille (PAZ) domain of Dicer-like 1 (DCL1), an interaction that is conserved between rice and Arabidopsis. Inactivation of both NOT2 genes in Arabidopsis caused severe defects in male gametophytes, and weak lines show pleiotropic defects reminiscent of miRNA pathway mutants. Impairment of NOT2s decreases the accumulation of pri-miRNAs and mature miRNAs and increases DCL1-containing nuclear speckle number in vivo. In addition, NOT2b protein interacts with Pol II and other miRNA processing factors including two cap-binding proteins, CBP80/ABH1, CBP20 and SERRATE (SE). Therefore, these results suggest that NOT2 proteins promote MIR transcription and facilitate efficient DCL1 recruitment in Arabidopsis. Examination of transcriptome of not2 and wild type by RNA-seq.

Dual roles of the nuclear cap binding complex and SERRATE in pre-mRNA splicing and microRNA processing in Arabidopsis

Project description:The processing of Arabidopsis thaliana microRNAs (miRNAs) from longer primary transcripts (pri-miRNAs) requires the activity of several proteins, including DICER-LIKE1 (DCL1), the double stranded RNA binding protein HYPONASTIC LEAVES1 (HYL1), and the zinc finger protein SERRATE (SE). It has been noted before that the morphological appearance of weak se mutants is reminiscent of plants with mutations in ABH1/CBP80 and CBP20, which encode the two subunits of the nuclear cap-binding complex. We report that, like SE, the cap-binding complex is necessary for proper processing of pri-miRNAs. Inactivation of either ABH1/CBP80 or CBP20 results in decreased levels of mature miRNAs accompanied by increased levels of pri-miRNAs. Whole genome tiling array analyses reveal that se, abh1/cbp80 and cbp20 mutants also share similar pre-mRNA splicing defects, leading to the accumulation of many partially spliced transcripts. This is unlikely to be an indirect consequence of improper miRNA processing or other mRNA turnover pathways, since introns retained in se, abh1/cbp80 and cbp20 mutants are not affected by mutations in other genes required for miRNA processing or for non-sense-mediated mRNA decay. Taken together, our results uncover dual roles in splicing and miRNA processing that distinguish SE and the cap-binding complex from specialized miRNA processing factors such as DCL1 and HYL1. Keywords: Tiling array analysis of RNA populations from wild type, se, abh1 and cbp20 mutants

A Role for the RNA-Binding Protein MOS2 in MicroRNA Maturation in Arabidopsis

Project description:microRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in the regulation of gene expression. In Arabidopsis, mature miRNAs are processed from primary miRNA transcripts (pri-miRNAs) by nuclear HYL1/SE/DCL1 complexes that form Dicing bodies (D-bodies). Here we report that a RNA-binding protein MOS2 bound to pri-miRNAs and was required for their efficient processing. MOS2 did not interact with HYL1, SE, and DCL1 and was not localized in D-bodies. Interestingly, in the absence of MOS2, the recruitment of pri-miRNAs by HYL1 was greatly reduced and the localization of HYL1 in D-bodies was compromised. These data suggest that MOS2 facilitates pri-miRNA processing through facilitating the recruitment of pri-miRNAs by the Dicing complexes.
