Arabidopsis Nit1 knockout metabolomics

ABSTRACT: Glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide that is implicated in various crucial physiological processes including redox buffering and protection against heavy metal toxicity. GSH is abundant in plants, with reported intracellular concentrations typically in the 1-10 millimolar range. Various aminotransferases can inadvertently transaminate the amino group of the γ-glutamyl moiety of GSH to produce deaminated glutathione (dGSH), a metabolite damage product. It was recently reported that an amidase known as Nit1 participates in dGSH breakdown in mammals and yeast. Plants have a hitherto uncharacterized homolog of the Nit1 amidase. We show that recombinant Arabidopsis Nit1 (At4g08790) has efficient amidase activity towards dGSH. Ablating the Arabidopsis Nit1 gene causes a massive accumulation of dGSH and other marked changes to the metabolome. All plant Nit1 sequences examined had predicted plastidial targeting peptides with a potential second start codon whose use would eliminate the targeting peptide. In vitro transcription/translation assays show that both potential translation start codons were used and subcellular localization of GFP fusions confirmed both cytosolic and plastidial localization. Further, we show that Arabidopsis enzymes convert GSH to dGSH at a rate of 2.8 pmol min-1 mg-1 in vitro. Our data demonstrate that plants have a dGSH repair system that is directed to at least two subcellular compartments via the use of alternative translation start sites.

Expression data of glutathione-fed Arabidopsis thaliana

Project description:To comprehensively investigate the effects of glutathione on the gene expression, the microarray analysis was performed in the glutathione-fed wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana. Wild-type Arabidopsis (ecotype Columbia-0) were fed with 1 mM oxidized glutathione (GSSG) and 2 mM reduced glutathione (GSH) for comparison at equal nitrogen equivalents. To examine the effects of glutathione other than nitrogen at equal nitrogen equivalents, plants were fed with 3 mM NH4NO3. Plants grown by water were used as a control.

Endogenous small RNAs from Arabidopsis thaliana wild-type, dcl4 mutant and dcl4 mutant expressing nuclear or cytoplasmic DCL4

Project description:Parallel RNA silencing pathways regulate gene expression in plants, either by transcriptional gene silencing via RNA-dependent DNA methylation (RdDM), or by post-transcriptional silencing targeting mRNAs. Both pathways rely on distinct Dicer-like proteins to cleave double-stranded RNA into small-interfering RNAs. Experiments to determine the subcellular localization of Dicer-like proteins in Arabidopsis revealed that DCL4 is predominantly expressed as a transcriptional start site isoform that encodes a cytoplasmic protein. A second, longer DCL4 transcript isoform encodes a nuclear-localization signal and its expression is repressed by DNA methylation. Consequently this isoform is induced when promoter methylation decreases due to infection with a bacterial pathogen or during silique development. Nuclear DCL4 produces unique populations of small RNAs, called DCL4NLS isoform-dependent siRNAs (disiRNAs), which function via a post-transcriptional silencing effector, but whose precursors are generated by the RdDM pathway. Arabidopsis cells can thus respond to genome methylation changes by modulating DCL4 localization, which in turn recruits PTGS factors to reinforce RNA silencing.

Transcriptome-wide profiling of RNA N4-cytidine acetylation in Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa

Project description:Using acRIP-seq, we present transcriptome-wide atlases of ac4C in Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa. Analysis of ac4C distribution reveals ac4C is enriched near translation start sites in rice while near translation start sites and end sites in Arabidopsis. Further analysis shows ac4C contributes to RNA stability, splicing and translation. We then performed NaCNBH3 treatment and RNA-seq to measure C to T mutation and RNC-seq to measure translation efficiency in Arabidopsis.

FRIENDLY (FMT) is an RNA binding protein associated with cytosolic ribosomes at the mitochondrial surface

Project description:The spatial organization of protein synthesis in the eukaryotic cell is essential for maintaining the integrity of the proteome and the functioning of the cell. Translation on free polysomes or on ribosomes associated with the endoplasmic reticulum has been studied for a long time. More recent data have revealed selective translation of mRNAs in other compartments, in particular at the surface of mitochondria. Although these processes have been described in many organisms, in particular in plants, the mRNA targeting and localized translation mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, the Arabidopsis thaliana Friendly (FMT) protein is shown to be a cytosolic RNA binding protein that associates with cytosolic ribosomes at the surface of mitochondria. As previously shown (El Zawily et al., 2014), FMT knock-out delays seedling development and causes mitochondrial clustering. The mutation also disrupts the mitochondrial proteome, and the localization of nuclear transcripts encoding mitochondrial proteins at the surface of mitochondria. These data indicate that FMT participates in the localization of mRNAs and their translation at the surface of mitochondria.

CLAMP Protein Binding Microarray (PBM) experiment

Project description:To investigate the DNA binding specificity of the CLAMP protein, we have designed a custom PBM to interrogate the binding of CLAMP to DNA sequences extracted from the Drosophila melanogaster genome. Specific regions were extracted based on ChIP-seq data, motif occurence and proximity to gene transcription start sites. N-terminal GST-tagged protein samples were made for the C-terminal four and six zinc finger portions of the protein CLAMP; samples were made by in vitro transcription translation (IVT). IVT reaction mixtures for the two CLAMP constructs were applied directly to the PBM microarray and incubated for 1hour. Microarray-bound protein was fluorescently labeled using Alexa488-conjugated antibodies targeting GST, and the microarray was scanned in using a standard microarray scanner. Median fluorescence intensity over eight replicate probes was reported for each unique DNA sequence on the microarray.

Jasmonate Regulates Plant Responses to Reoxygenation through Activation of Antioxidant Synthesis

Project description:Submergence induces hypoxia in plants; exposure to oxygen following submergence, termed reoxygenation, produces a burst of reactive oxygen species. The mechanisms of hypoxia sensing and signaling in plants have been well studied, but how plants respond to reoxygenation remains unclear. Here, we show that reoxygenation in Arabidopsis thaliana involves rapid accumulation of jasmonates (JAs) and increased transcript levels of JA biosynthesis genes. Application of exogenous methyl jasmonate improved tolerance to reoxygenation in wild-type Arabidopsis; also, mutants deficient in JA biosynthesis and signaling were very sensitive to reoxygenation. Moreover, overexpression of the transcription factor gene MYC2 enhanced tolerance to post-hypoxic stress and myc2 knockout mutants showed increased sensitivity to reoxygenation, indicating that MYC2 functions as a key regulator in the JA-mediated reoxygenation response. MYC2 transcriptionally activates members of the VITAMIN C DEFECTIVE (VTC) and GLUTATHIONE SYNTHETASE (GSH) gene families, which encode rate-limiting enzymes in the ascorbate and glutathione synthesis pathways. Overexpression of VTC1 and GSH1 in the myc2-2 mutant suppressed the post-hypoxic hypersensitive phenotype. The JA-inducible accumulation of antioxidants may alleviate oxidative damage caused by reoxygenation, improving plant survival after submergence. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that JA signaling interacts with the antioxidant pathway to regulate reoxygenation responses in Arabidopsis.

Evolutionarily Conserved Inhibitory uORFs Sensitize Hox mRNA Translation to Start Codon Selection Stringency

Project description:Translation start site selection in eukaryotes is influenced by context nucleotides flanking the AUG codon and by levels of the eukaryotic translation initiation factors eIF1 and eIF5. In a search of human genes, we identified 5 Hox gene paralogs initiated by AUG codons in conserved suboptimal context as well as 13 Hox genes that contain evolutionarily conserved upstream open reading frames (uORFs) that initiate at AUG codons in poor sequence context. We analyzed published CAGE-seq data and generated CAGE-seq data from mRNAs from mouse somites. These data demonstrate that the 5’ leaders of Hox mRNAs of interest contain conserved uORFs, are much shorter than reported, and lack previously proposed IRES elements. We show that the conserved uORFs inhibit Hox reporter expression and that altering the stringency of start codon selection by overexpressing eIF1 or eIF5 modulates the expression of Hox reporters. We also show that modifying ribosome homeostasis by depleting a large ribosomal subunit protein or treating cells with sublethal concentrations of puromycin leads to lower stringency of start codon selection. Thus, altering global translation can confer gene-specific effects through altered start codon selection stringency.

Expression data from Arabidopsis thaliana under mild oxidative stress elicited by methyl viologen and stress induced by the limited availability of phosphate

Project description:Plants possess highly sensitive mechanisms that monitor environmental stress levels for a dose-dependent fine-tuning of their growth and development. Differences in plant responses to severe and mild abiotic stresses have been recognized. Although many studies have revealed that glutathione can contribute to plant tolerance to various environmental stresses, little is known about the relationship between glutathione and mild abiotic stress, especially the effect of stress-induced altered glutathione levels on the metabolism. Here, we applied a systems biology approach to identify key pathways involved in the gene-to-metabolite networks perturbed by low glutathione content under mild abiotic stress in Arabidopsis thaliana. We used glutathione synthesis mutants (cad2-1 and pad2-1) and plants overexpressing the gene encoding gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase, the first enzyme of the glutathione biosynthetic pathway. The plants were exposed to two mild stress conditions―oxidative stress elicited by methyl viologen (MV) and stress induced by the limited availability of phosphate. We observed that the mutants and transgenic plants showed similar shoot growth as that of the wild-type plants under mild abiotic stress. We then selected the synthesis mutants and performed multi-platform metabolomics and microarray experiments to evaluate the possible effects on the overall metabolome and the transcriptome. To understand the metabolic responses observed under mild abiotic stress, we conducted gene expression profiling by Affymetrix ATH1 GeneChip. pad2-1 and the wild type Col-0 samples were harvested at 18 day-old after germination under two different stresses, MV treatment and limited phosphorus conditions.

Ribosomes act as cryosensors in plants

Project description:Cold temperatures are a threat to temperate plants, and Arabidopsis thaliana has acquired an adaptive gene expression network controlled by CBF transcription factors. The CBFs are sufficient to enable plants to survive otherwise lethal subzero temperatures. Constitutive CBF expression causes delayed flowering and stunted growth, and plants have evolved the ability to restrict CBF expression to occur only in the cold. This allows plants to anticipate likely freezing events and selectively deploy cold tolerance. The mechanism by which cold stress is sensed is however unknown. Here we show that protein translation rates in plants are proportional to temperature, and reduced translation rates trigger a rise in intracellular free calcium that activates the CAMTA transcription factors, and these directly activate cold-induced gene expression.
