Flavonoid pathway intermediates implicate UVR8 in functions beyond canonical UV-B signaling
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Plants integrate light signals to regulate development and produce protective compounds such as flavonoids under excessive light stress. While these metabolites protect against light damage, their roles in modulating photoreceptor responses remain unclear. Here we show that naringenin chalcone (NGC), a flavonoid precursor that accumulates in the Arabidopsis chalcone isomerase mutant tt5 but which is also present in wild type plants under solar light, promotes UVR8 monomer accumulation beyond its canonical UV-B response. A genetic suppressor screen reveals that loss of UVR8 restores normal growth of tt5 mutants grown under high light, irrespective of the presence of UV-B. Biochemical and transcriptomic analyses show that NGC binds to monomeric UVR8, stabilizing its active form and triggering gene expression changes, even in the absence of UV-B. This work identifies a mechanism for stabilizing activated UVR8 and reveals crosstalk between light-induced metabolic intermediates and photoreceptor-mediated developmental regulation.

Project description:Differential expression of microRNAs was studied in maize leaves after an 8-h-exposure under UV-B light. As a control, plants were kept in the greenhouse in the absence of UV-B 4-week maize plants were grown in the greenhouse in the absence of UV-B. Then, they were divided in two groups. One group was treated with UV-B lights provided once for 8 h, starting 3 h after the beginning of the light period, using fixtures mounted 30 cm above the plants (Phillips, F40UVB 40 W and TL 20 W/12) at a UV-B intensity of 2 W m-2, UV-A: 0.65 W m-2. The bulbs were covered with cellulose acetate to exclude wavelengths <280 nm. For the second control group, plants were exposed for 8 h under the same lamps covered with polyester film (no UV-B treatment, UV-B: 0.04 W m-2, UV-A: 0.4 W m-2). Lamp output was recorded using a UV-B/UV-A radiometer (UV203 A+B radiometer, Macam Photometrics, Ltd, Livingston, UK) to insure that both the bulbs and filters provided the designated UV dosage in all treatments. Leaf samples were collected immediately after irradiation. RNA was extracted immediately after the treatments, and used for the microRNA microarray experiments.

Project description:Microarray technology was used to assess transcriptome changes in poplar (Populus alba L.) under a realistic simulation of increased UV-B radiation. Plants were UV-Bbe (UV-B biologically effective radiation) supplemented with a dose of 6 kJ/m2/day for 12 hours per day and allowed to recover during the night. Poplar plants were UV-B treated using a refined controlled environment able to guarantee a realistic simulation of natural conditions, especially for light parameters such as presence of background UV-B radiation for control plants and balanced PAR/UV-A/UV-B ratio. A time course experiment was planned to look both at the rapid and delayed response of poplar to UVB; two time points after 3 h (T3h) and 30 h (6th hour of the third day of treatment, T30h) were considered. 4 independent biological replicates were analysed for each time point. Competitive hybridisations were carried out using the PICME 28K microarray. Keywords: Time course experiment, stress response

Abstract:
Long-wavelength and low-fluence UV-B light is an
informational signal known to induce photomorphogenic
development in plants. Using the model plant Arabidopsis
thaliana, a variety of factors involved in UV-B-specific
signaling have been experimentally characterized over the past
decade, including the UV-B light receptor UV resistance locus
8; the positive regulators constitutive photomorphogenesis 1
and elongated hypocotyl 5; and the negative regulators cullin4,
repressor of UV-B photomorphogenesis 1 (RUP1), and RUP2.
Individual genetic and molecular studies have revealed that
these proteins function in either positive or negative
regulatory capacities for the sufficient and balanced
transduction of photomorphogenic UV-B signal. Less is known,
however, regarding how these signaling events are
systematically linked. In our study, we use a systems biology
approach to investigate the dynamic behaviors and correlations
of multiple signaling components involved in Arabidopsis
UV-B-induced photomorphogenesis. We define a mathematical
representation of photomorphogenic UV-B signaling at a temporal
scale. Supplemented with experimental validation, our
computational modeling demonstrates the functional interaction
that occurs among different protein complexes in early and
prolonged response to photomorphogenic UV-B.

Project description:UV-B (280-320 nm) exposure causes serious damage in plants, limiting their growth and survival, effects that are partly counteracted by repair mechanisms active in plants receiving accompanying visible radiation. Though no particular UV-B receptor has been identified to date, there is strong evidence to indicate that certain aspects of UV-B perception are receptor-mediated. Investigations of down-stream signalling events have thus far indicated broad similarities to pathogen-induced defence responses in plants. In order to identify genes in Arabidopsis that may be up- or down- regulated specifically in response to UV-B exposure and compare them to genes whose expression is altered in plants challenged by an avirulent isolate of Peronospora parasitica (downy mildew), we propose to analyse the transcriptional profiles for the following treatments: 1. UV-B Responses "A-1" Columbia (Col-0) exposed to supplementary UV-B/UV-A* with a background of low photosynthetically active radiation (PAR of 20 micromol m-2 s-1) for 1.5 photoperiods (photoperiod = 12h). [UV-B treatment] "A-2" Col-0 exposed to supplementary UV-A and low PAR for 1.5 photoperiods [control for UV-B treatment] "A-3" Col-0 exposed to visible light only (low PAR) (no UV) for 1.5 photoperiods [control for UV effects in general].* There are no pure sources of UV-B light available. 2. Pathogen Responses "A-4" Col-0 spray-inoculated with P. parasitica isolate HIKS-1 (recognised by the R-gene RPP7). After spraying, plants were kept covered in plant propagators and transferred to an 18 degreeC growth chamber. !Samples for RNA extraction were taken 72h after inoculation. "A-5" The viability of spores was also checked by parallel spraying of the susceptible mutant, Col-rpp7. [pathogen treatment] "A-6" Col-0 mock treated with water, covered and transferred to an 18 degree C growth chamber, 72h prior to sampling. [control for pathogen treatment] In all experiments, we are using RNA from leaves taken at the same time of day (6 h into the 12 h photoperiod) from 4.5-week old plants grown under 12h photoperiod. All treatments were normalised against PR-1 expression levels to ensure comparability between UV-B and pathogen treatments. Due to the difficulty in distinguishing between local and systemic induced responses in UV-B treated plants, we are using RNA from whole rosettes for both the UV-B and pathogen treatment for better comparability among treatments. The degree of similarity between these two sets of transcriptional changes will complement and help interpret our experimental data on changes in resistance to pathogens in plants pre-treated with UV-B. Moreover, the data set obtained would allow for identification of UV-B specific changes in gene expression including cis-acting UV-B-responsive promoter elements.

Project description:Plants use sunlight as a source of energy for photosynthesis but also as an important environmental cue to regulate growth, development and light acclimation. Wavelengths in the UV-B (280-315 nm) and UV-A/blue (315-500 nm) regions of the spectrum are perceived by UV RESISTANCE LOCUS 8 (UVR8) and cryptochromes (CRY1 and CRY2), respectively. Despite recent advances in our understanding of how these photoreceptors promote photomorphogenesis, very little is known about the molecular mechanisms regulated by UVR8 and CRYs in sunlight exposed plants. Here, a factorial experiment was designed to assess the roles of UVR8 and CRYs in regulating transcriptome wide changes, hormone accumulation, and growth competence of Arabidopsis thaliana plants exposed to solar UV-B, UV-A, and blue radiation.

Project description:Photosystem II (PSII) is essential for energy conversion during oxygenic photosynthesis in plants and algae. Chlorella ohadii, one of the fastest multiplying green alga, thrives under the harsh desert sun but lacks the standard PSII photoprotective mechanisms involving LhcSR/PsbS proteins or protein phosphorylation. Here, we present analysis of cryo-EM structure of the PSII supercomplex from C. ohadii at 2.9Å resolution to determine whether the exceptional resistance to desert conditions has a structural basis in PSII. The structure reveals a novel PsbO isoform and additional subunits, PsbR and PsbY, which enhance core complex stability through extensive interactions. Furthermore, the trimeric light-harvesting complexes (LHCII) are bound to the PSII core by specific light-harvesting proteins whose down-regulation in response to high light conditions implies a reduction in the number of bound LHCII trimers. These modifications play a crucial role in maintaining PSII stability and photoprotection, allowing C. ohadii to survive in extreme conditions.
