Small RNA-seq of ago4 null and slicing-defective mutant in Arabidopsis

ABSTRACT: To investigate the effect of AGO4 upon small RNA accumulation in Arabidopsis, we analyzed small RNA accumulation in ago4, ago4/ago6/ago9 triple mutant, stable transgenic lines expressing wild-type AGO4 and slicing-defective AGO4 in ago4 and ago4/ago6/ago9 background.

RNA-directed DNA methylation involves co-transcriptional small RNA-guided slicing of Pol V transcripts in Arabidopsis.

Project description:Small RNAs regulate chromatin modifications such as DNA methylation and gene silencing across eukaryotic genomes. In plants, RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) requires 24-nucleotide (nt) small RNAs (siRNAs) that bind ARGONAUTE4 (AGO4) and target genomic regions for silencing. It also requires non-coding RNAs transcribed by RNA POLYMERASE V (Pol V), that likely serve as scaffolds for binding of AGO4/siRNA complexes. Here we utilized a modified global nuclear run-on (GRO) protocol followed by deep sequencing to capture Pol V nascent transcripts genome-wide. We uncovered unique characteristics of Pol V RNAs, including a uracil (U) common at position 10. This uracil was complementary to the 5’ adenine found in many AGO4-bound 24-nt siRNAs and was eliminated in an siRNA-deficient mutant as well as in the ago4/6/9 triple mutant, suggesting that the +10U signature is due to siRNA-mediated co-transcriptional slicing of Pol V transcripts. Expressing wild-type AGO4 in ago4/6/9 was able to restore slicing of Pol V transcripts but a catalytically inactive AGO4 mutant did not correct the slicing defect. We also found that Pol V transcript slicing required the little understood elongation factor SPT5L. These results highlight the importance of Pol V transcript slicing in RNA-mediated transcriptional gene silencing, which is a conserved process in many eukaryotes.

AGO4 slicer activity reveals the passenger strand function of plant 23 nt siRNAs and the post-slicing retention of target RNAs mediating RNA-directed DNA methylation [WGBS]

Project description:In plants, transcriptional silencing by RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) is mediated by ARGONAUTE 4 (AGO4) and 24 nt short-interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that are generated in parallel with 23 nt RNAs of unknown function. We show that 23 nt RNAs serve as the passenger strands of 23/24 nt duplexes loaded into AGO4. The 24 nt siRNAs then guide AGO4 slicing of the passenger strands, generating 11 and 12 nt cleavage products. Unexpectedly, we find that the 12 nt products remain associated with the guide strand-AGO4 complexes. Long noncoding RNAs generated at RdDM loci are similarly sliced and retained by AGO4. These results suggest a model in which RNA POLYMERASE V transcripts at target loci are sliced repeatedly as transcription elongation proceeds, sequentially releasing AGO4-siRNA-scaffold RNA complexes that independently recruit the RdDM machinery. Consistent with this hypothesis, plant lines expressing wild-type versus slicing-defective AGO4 show quantitative variation in cytosine methylation and siRNA levels within RdDM loci.

AGO4 Regulates Entry into Meiosis and Influences Silencing of Sex Chromosomes in the Male Mouse Germline

Project description:The four mammalian Argonaute family members are thought to share redundant functions in the microRNA pathway, yet only AGO2 possesses the catalytic "slicer" function required for RNA interference. Whether AGO1, AGO3, or AGO4 possess specialized functions remains unclear. Here, we Series_summary = show that AGO4 localizes to spermatocyte nuclei during meiotic prophase I, specifically at sites of asynapsis and in the transcriptionally silenced XY sub-domain, the sex body. We generated Ago4 knockout mice and show that Ago4-/- spermatogonia initiate meiosis early, resulting from premature induction of retinoic acid-response genes. During prophase I, the sex body assembles incorrectly in Ago4-/- mice, leading to disrupted meiotic sex chromosome inactivation (MSCI). This is associated with a dramatic loss of microRNAs, >20% of which arise from the X chromosome. Loss of AGO4 results in increased AGO3 in spermatocytes, indicating some degree of redundancy. Thus, AGO4 regulates meiotic entry and MSCI in mammalian germ cells, implicating small RNA pathways in these processes. mRNA transcripts were isolated and prepared using pachytene spermatocytes, pre-meiotic testes and other tissues from Ago4+/+ and Ago4-/- littermates and sequenced using Illumina HiSeq2000. small RNA transcripts were isolated and prepared using pachytene spermatocytes from adult Ago4+/+ and Ago4-/- littermates and sequenced using Illumina GAII.
