Transcriptome and metabolome based mechanisms revealing distinct regulatory programs underlying yam (Dioscorea polystachya Thunb.) bulbil growth

ABSTRACT:

Yam (Dioscorea polystachya) bulbils are unique axillary organs that serve dual functions in nutrient storage and asexual reproduction. In addition to their edible value, bulbils play a crucial role as propagules for the generation of new plants, contributing significantly to germplasm propagation and the maintenance of genetic stability. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying gene regulation and metabolite accumulation during bulbil development remain largely unexplored.

In this study, bulbils of the iron stick yam cultivar were used as experimental materials. Based on continuous morphological observations, bulbil development was divided into three stages: initiation stage (T0), expansion stage (T1–T3), and maturation stage (T4–T6). Representative stages (T0, T3, and T6) were selected for non-targeted metabolomics analysis to investigate dynamic metabolic changes during bulbil development.

ChIP-seq on PfAP2-G2 in trophozoite and gametocyte stages of parasites.

Project description:Differentiation from asexual blood stages to sexual gametocytes is required for transmission of malaria parasites from the human host to mosquitos, where sexual fertilization occurs to complete the lifecycle. Although preventing gametocyte development would block parasite transmission, the molecular mechanisms underlying sexual commitment and gametocyte maturation are still relatively unknown. Previous studies identified an ApiAP2 protein, AP2-G2, which plays a critical role in gametocyte maturation in rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium berghei by acting as the repressor of asexual stage genes in gametocytes. In this work we characterize the P. falciparum orthologue (PF3D7_1408200) of PbAP2-G2 and report that it plays a critical role in maturation of gametocytes. Disruption of pfap2-g2 did not obstruct commitment to sexual development but the majority of parasites were unable to develop normally beyond stage III gametocytes. In asexual stages PfAP2-G2 binds to the promoters of wide variety of genes expressed in diverse range of parasite’s life cycle stages including gametocytes, mosquito lifecycle stages early ring stage genes and genes encoding for proteins involved in egress and invasion. Surprisingly, we also identify binding of PfAP2-G2 in the gene body of almost 3000 genes. We could also show that PfAP2-G2 interacts with chromatin remodeling proteins and another ApiAP2 protein (PF3D7_1139300) whose motif is also overrepresented in the ChIP-seq data. Overall this work suggests that PfAP2-G2 is a transcriptional regulator that regulates genes possibly by recruiting additional transcription factors and chromatin remodeling machinery and plays a critical role in the development of malaria parasites as they transition from the asexual stage to gametocytes.

Proteomic study of fig inflorescence and receptacle

Project description:The common fig cultivar Zibao, planted at the Shangzhuang Experimental Station of China Agricultural University (Peking, China). Based on the three fig development phases (Flaishman et al., 2008), we subdivided the fig development process into six stages: stages 1 and 2 belonging to phase Ⅰ, a rapid growth stage; stages 3 and 4 belonging to phase Ⅱ, during which fruit size and hardness remain almost unchanged; stages 5 and 6 belonging to phase Ⅲ, the mature stage, where stage 5 corresponded to commercial ripeness. Inflorescences and receptacles at each stage were separated, marked as F1–F6 and R1–R6, respectively. Stage 1, 3 and 5 inflorescences and receptacles were used for proteomic analysis.

Sex-specific expression during asexual development of Neurospora crassa under constant light condition

Project description:It is widely assumed that sex-determination loci have little impact upon dominant stage in the life history of filamentous fungi, asexual development. However, this hypothesis has not been thoroughly investigated. To investigate differences between mating types during asexual development, total RNA was sampled from otherwise largely isogenic Mat-A and Mat-a N. crassa strains at early, middle, and late clonal stages of development under a condition of constant light. Mating-type loci, pheromone precursor and receptor genes were assayed with real-time PCR. Mating loci were increasingly expressed during asexual development, and expression of pheromone precursors ccg-4 and mfa-1 and receptors pre-1 and pre-2 were detected in both mating types in all development stages. A circuit of microarray hybridizations of cDNA samples from all developmental stages was also performed. Gene expression for both mating types throughout vegetative development were characterized for developmental markers such as transcription factors, for genes related to conidiation, internal clock, cell division cycle, heat shock, and for light responsive genes. We observed significant differences in overall gene expression between the mating types across clonal development, especially at late development stages. The Mat-A genotype showed a higher expression level than Mat-a for many genes, and demonstrated greater transcriptional regulatory activity. Significant up-regulation of expression was observed for many late light responsive genes at late asexual development stages in both mating types. Further investigation of the impact of light and the roles of light response genes in asexual development in this fungus are warranted.

Znf706 regulates germplasm formation and primordial germ cell development in zebrafish

Project description:The cell fate of primordial germ cells (PGCs) in zebrafish is pre-determined by maternally deposited germplasm, which is packaged into ribonucleoprotein complex in oocytes and, after fertilization, inherited into PGCs promoting germline fate in embryos. However, the maternal factors regulating the assembly of germplasm and PGC development remain poorly understood. In this study, we report that the maternal transcription factor Znf706 regulates the assembly of germplasm factors into a granule-like structure localized perinuclearly in PGCs during migration. Maternal and zygotic mutants of znf706 (MZznf706) exhibited deficient germplasm at the early embryonic stage, decreased PGC numbers with ectopic PGC locations during PGC migration, and lower female ratio in adulthood. Notably, the implementation of Znf706 CUT&Tag and RNA-seq on immature oocytes uncovered that Znf706 in stage I oocytes may act as a transcriptional activator and mediate mRNA binding, translational regulation, and metabolic pathways of oocytes. Hence, we propose that Znf706 is crucial for germplasm assembly and PGC development in zebrafish.

Changes in heterochromatin distribution during the initial stages of sexual development in Plasmodium falciparum

Project description:In the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, changes in the distribution of heterochromatin at specific loci regulate the expression of clonally variant genes (CVGs), which play fundamental roles in host-parasite interactions. In addition to differences in heterochromatin between individual parasites associated with variant expression of CVGs, changes in heterochromatin distribution associated with different developmental stages have been described. However, while stage II/III gametocytes (sexual precursors) have an altered distribution of heterochromatin compared with asexual blood stages, it is unclear if heterochromatin changes already occur at the very early stages of sexual development. Here we used a transgenic parasite line in which sexual conversion can be conditionally induced to characterise the changes in heterochromatin distribution associated with the earliest stages of sexual development. We found that there were essentially no changes in sexual rings or stage I gametocytes compared with asexual blood stages, and remodelling of heterochromatin started at stage II or III of gametocyte development, with changes similar to those previously described in parasites of a different genetic background. Therefore, global redistribution of heterochromatin does not appear to play a role in the initial steps of sexual development. We also found that, for several genes, changes in expression associated with sexual development precede changes in the heterochromatin at their locus.

PfDOZI protein-protein interaction in plasmodium falciparum

Project description:Here, we characterized an RNA binding protein (RBP), PfDOZI, which is an integral cytoplasmic component of RNP granule. We observed that deleting pfdozi led to an asexual growth advantage due to the escalated merozoite invasion capacity. Also, pfdozi disruption resulted in a significant impairment in gametocyte commitment and morphology development. Through high-throughput RNA-seq, we revealed that PfDOZI affected the transcriptome in both asexual and sexual stages when pfdozi was deleted. Mechanically, we confirmed that PfDOZI could interact with P body like mRNP in the schizont stage, while stress granule-like granule in gametocyte stage. The identification of PfDOZI protein complex in stressed schizont further indicate PfDOZI could shift its function from mRNA degradation to translation repression during stage conversion.

Plasmodium falciparum MORC protein modulates gene expression through interaction with heterochromatin

Project description:Dynamic control of gene expression is critical for blood stage development of malaria parasites. Here, we used multi-omic analyses to investigate transcriptional regulation by the chromatin-associated microrchidia protein, MORC, during asexual blood stage development of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. PfMORC (PF3D7_1468100) interacts with a suite of nuclear proteins, including APETALA2 (AP2) transcription factors (PfAP2-G5, PfAP2-O5, PfAP2-I, PF3D7_0420300, PF3D7_0613800, PF3D7_1107800 , and PF3D7_1239200), a DNA helicase DS60 (PF3D7_1227100), and other chromatin remodelers (PfCHD1, PfEELM2, and PfISWI). Transcriptomic analysis of PfMORCHA-glmS knockdown parasites revealed 163 differentially expressed genes belonging to hypervariable multigene families, along with upregulation of genes mostly involved in host cell invasion. In vivo genome-wide chromatin occupancy analysis during both trophozoite and schizont stages of development demonstrates that PfMORC is recruited to repressed, multigene families, including the var genes in subtelomeric chromosomal regions. Collectively, we find that PfMORC is found in chromatin complexes that play a role in the epigenetic control of asexual blood stage transcriptional regulation.

A proteomics analysis of adventitious root formation after leaf removal in lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.)

Project description:Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn) belongs to the family Nymphaeaceae, and is a popular aquatic vegetable that is rich in nutrients. It is widely cultivated in China, and many varieties of lotus are used for different purposes, suited to different climates, and consumed in different ways. Lotus is commonly produced by asexual propagation, so mutation through hybridization and variation fixed by asexual propagation are the main ways to create new varieties. Therefore, the formation of adventitious roots (ARs) in lotus, which does not have a well-developed principal root, is an important part of growth and development. It would be very useful to control ARs formation for lotus production and breeding.
