Genome-wide identification of binding sites for NAC and YABBY transcription factors and co-regulated genes during soybean seedling development by ChIP-Seq and RNA-Seq.

ABSTRACT: In order to dissect the gene regulatory network during the functional transition of cotyledons from non-photosynthetic storage tissue to metabolically active photosynthetic tissue, we constructed ChIP-Seq libraries for NAC and YABBY transcription factors using pooled cotyledons from seedling developmental stage 4 and stage 5. Millions of raw reads obtained from ChIP-Seq libraries were aligned to the reference soybean genome using the ultrafast Bowtie aligner to obtain quantitative data for genome matched reads. MACS software was used to call peaks representing enriched binding sites for NAC and YABBY transcription factors. Based on our ChIP-Seq data, we identified 72 genes are potentially regulated by NAC transcription factor and 96 genes by YABBY transcription factor. The motif analysis using MEME discovered three separate motifs for the NAC and YABBY transcription factors. For the NAC transcription factor, three commonly found motifs were G[AT]G[AG]G[AG]GA, C[AC]C[GA][TC][GA]CC and TGGGCC . The first one matched to a known zinc finger motif and the last two were identified as leucine zippers in the database of plant transcription factor binding motifs, JASPAR CORE plants. Similarly the three most commonly found motifs for YABBY transcription factors are CC [CA][TC]C[TA][CT]C, GA[AG]AGAAA and CCCCAC . The first two motifs matched to a known zinc finger motif and the last one was an AP2 MBD-like motif.

Project description:The proper balance of excitatory and inhibitory neurons is crucial to normal processing of somatosensory information in the dorsal spinal cord. Two neural basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors, Ascl1 and Ptf1a, are essential for generating the correct number and sub-type of neurons in multiple regions of the nervous system. M-BM- In the dorsal spinal cord, Ascl1 and Ptf1a have contrasting functions in specifying inhibitory versus excitatory neurons. To understand how Ascl1 and Ptf1a function in these processes, we identified their direct transcriptional targets genome-wide in the embryonic mouse neural tube using ChIP-Seq and RNA-Seq. We show that Ascl1 and Ptf1a regulate the specification of excitatory and inhibitory neurons in the dorsal spinal cord through direct regulation of distinct homeodomain transcription factors known for their function in neuronal sub-type specification. Besides their roles in regulating these homeodomain factors, Ascl1 and Ptf1a each function differently during neuronal development with Ascl1 directly regulating genes with roles in several steps of the neurogenic program including, Notch signaling, neuronal differentiation, axon guidance, and synapse formation. In contrast, Ptf1a directly regulates genes encoding components of the neurotransmitter machinery in inhibitory neurons, and other later aspects of neural development distinct from those regulated by Ascl1. Moreover, Ptf1a represses the excitatory neuronal fate by directly repressing several targets of Ascl1. Examination of the Ascl1 and Ptf1a bound sequences shows they are enriched for a common E-Box with a GC core and with additional motifs used by Sox, Rfx, Pou, and Homeodomain factors. Ptf1a bound sequences are uniquely enriched in an E-Box with a GA/TC core and in the binding motif for its co-factor Rbpj, providing two keys to specificity of Ptf1a binding. The direct transcriptional targets identified for Ascl1 and Ptf1a provide a molecular understanding for how they function in neuronal development, particularly as key regulators of homeodomain transcription factors required for neuronal sub-type specification. Examination of gene expression in Ascl1 and Ptf1a lineage cells in the developing neural tube.
