Project description:Gene regulation in both plants and animals is orchestrated by complex interactions between multiple, often times related, factors. How these related factors interact and compete to alter gene expression is a key question that is not fully understood. In Arabidopsis, the Class III Homedomain-Leucine Zipper (HD-ZIPIII) family of transcription factors regulates key developmental processes such as shoot stem cell formation and display complex genetic interactions. We show that HD-ZIPIIIs form heterodimers in planta, co-occupy hundreds of genomic locations and regulate target gene expression both positively and negatively. Transcriptional repression by HD-ZIP IIIs is correlated to co-occupancy and association with the co-repressor TOPLESS. We find the HD-ZIPIIIs act on entire pathways at multiple, sometimes opposing steps and this regulation can occur at a stage, tissue or cell type specific level.

Project description:Unlike the situation in animals, the final morphology of the plant body is highly modulated by the environment. During Arabidopsis development, intrinsic factors provide the framework for basic patterning processes. CLASS III HOMEODOMAIN LEUCINE ZIPPER (HD‐ZIPIII) transcription factors are involved in embryo, shoot and root patterning and during vegetative growth regulate several polarity set‐up processes such as in leaves and the vascular system. Here we show that besides being involved in basic patterning, HD‐ZIPIII transcription factors also have a critical role in controlling elongation growth that is induced when plants experience shade. By using a ChIP‐Seq approach, we have identified several direct target genes of the HD‐ZIPIII transcription factor REVOLUTA (REV). We show that REV acts upstream of auxin biosynthesis and directly regulates several HAT transcription factors that control shade avoidance responses in Arabidopsis. Plants in which HD‐ZIPIII genes are mutated show altered responses to shade revealing that the basic patterning machinery also regulates adaptive development. Thus, HD-ZIPIII transcription factors contribute to shade signaling and act upstream of both auxin and HAT activation.

Project description:The establishment of ad/abaxial polarity is a fundamental event in plant development. It is critical for correct polar development of the leaf (the upper portion of the leaf is chloroplast rich and optimized for light capture while the lower portion is optimized for gas exchange) and for creating an environment that allows the formation of new meristems (centers of stem cell growth). Class III homeodomain-leucine zipper (HD-ZIPIII) proteins are conserved plant proteins that act as potent regulators of ad/abaxial polarity. HD-ZIPIII protein activity promotes the development of upper (adaxial) leaf fates and meristem formation; in its absence lower (abaxial) leaf fates develop and meristems fail to form. A network of regulatory factors controls the establishment of ad/abaxial leaf fates. However, this network is incomplete and how these factors control one another is poorly understood. Here we report a new family of plant genes, the LITTLE ZIPPER (ZPR) genes (consisting principally of a stretch of leucine zipper similar to the leucine zipper in HD-ZIPIII proteins) that are transcriptionally up-regulated by HD-ZIPIII activity. Furthermore, we show that the ZPR proteins interact with and repress HD-ZIPIII activity, thus forming a negative feedback loop. Our results suggest that HD-ZIPIII proteins exist in active homodimers and, together with the ZPR proteins, in inactive heterodimers. The newly discovered HD-ZIPIII/ZPR regulatory module would not only serve to dampen the effect of fluctuations in HD-ZIPIII protein levels but more importantly would provide a point of regulation - control over the ratio of inactive heterodimers to active homodimers - that could be influenced by other components of the pathway. For instance, the binding of a small hydrophobic molecule to the conserved (yet little understood) START domain present in the HD-ZIPIII proteins may influence the type of dimer formed.

Plant Cell 2007 Experiment Overall Design: One of the five Arabidopsis HD-ZIPIII proteins, REVOLUTA, was placed under glucocorticoid control by fusing the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) domain to its amino terminus. This gene fusion was placed under the control of the highly and constitutively expressed viral CaMV35S promoter. Since the HD-ZIPIII genes are controlled by microRNAs, it was also necessary to introduce mutations that disrupted the microRNA complementary sequence. Transgenic Arabidopsis seedlings carrying this construct (GR-REV) as well as wild-type seedlings were grown in liquid culture for ten days. At this point, one flask each of wt and transgenic seedlings was treated with carrier alone (ethanol) and one flask each of wt and transgenic seedlings was treated with dexamethasone. RNA was harvested from these samples after one hour, labeled and hybridized to Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:In Arabidopsis thaliana, cytokinin responsive B-type ARR transcription factors and HD-ZIP III transcription factors such as REVOLUTA (REV), act cooperatively as master regulators of shoot regeneration. To identify the downstream targets of ARR-HD-ZIP III transcriptional complex, we used an inducible line of REV, 35S::FLAG-GR-rREV, in which FLAG-tagged miR165/6-non-targetable form of REV (rREV)-GR fusion protein was expressed from 35S promoter. DEX treatment induced activation of REV by translocation of FLAG-GR-rREV fusion protein from cytoplasm to the nucleus. We treated 35S::FLAG-GR-rREV seedlings with 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA, a cytokinin), dexamethasone (DEX), or 6-BA+DEX for 2 hours. Total RNAs were extracted and subjected to Agilent Arabidopsis Gene Expression Microarray analyses. The differentially expressed genes (>1.5-fold, p<0.05) were identified.

DEX treatment induced activation of REV by translocation of FLAG-GR-rREV fusion protein from cytoplasm to the nucleus. Total RNA was extracted with RNeasy Mini Kit and hybridized to Agilent Arabidopsis Gene Expression Microarray. Differentially expressed genes were defined by a 1.5-fold expression difference with a P value<0.05. Biological replicates were performed.

Project description:To reveal the expression of HD-Zip genes in different tissues of cassava, samples from leaf (90 days after planting), stem (90 days after planting), early storage root (ESR, 90 days after planting), middle storage root (MSR, 150 days after planting) and last storage root (LSR, 210 days after planting) were collected for RNA-seq analysis. In addition, their expression was also examined in folded leaf (FL), full expanded leaf (FEL) and bottom leaf (BL), as well as root (RT) at 0, 3, 24 h after the treatment of PEG 6000.
