Project description:We report the application of miRNA next generation sequencing (NGS) for the analysis of impact of processing on miRNA in human breast milk, donated by 3 volunteers. MiRNA content of total and exosomal fraction was compared between unprocessed milk and sample subjected to either Holder (thermal) pasteurization (HoP) or elevated pressure processing (HPP). NGS reads were mapped to miRBase in order to obtain miRNA counts. Then, we analyzed differences in the miRNA abundance and function between raw and processed material. It was observed that both processing methods reduce number of miRNA reads and HoP is significantly more detrimental to miRNA than HPP.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important post-transcriptional regulators of plant development and seed formation. In Brassica napus, an important edible oil crop, valuable lipids are synthesized and stored in specific seed tissues during embryogenesis. The miRNA transcriptome of B. napus is currently poorly characterized, especially at different seed developmental stages. This work aims to describe the miRNAome of developing seeds of B. napus by identifying plant-conserved and novel miRNAs and comparing miRNA abundance in mature versus developing seeds. A total of 62 miRNA families were detected through a computational analysis of a large number of reads obtained from deep sequencing two small RNA and two RNA-seq libraries of (i) pooled immature developing stages and (ii) mature B. napus seeds. Among these miRNA families, 17 families are currently known to exist in B. napus; additionally, 32 families not reported in B. napus but conserved in other plant species were identified by alignment with known plant mature miRNAs. The contigs from the assembled mRNA-seq data allowed for a search for putative new precursors and led to the identification of 13 novel miRNA families. Differential expression between the libraries was determined through a statistical analysis of normalized miRNA reads and revealed several miRNAs and isomiRNAs that were more abundant during the developing stages. The predicted miRNA target genes encode a broad range of proteins related to seed development and energy storage. This work presents a comprehensive study of the miRNA transcriptome of B. napus seeds and will provide a basis for future research on more targeted studies of individual miRNAs and their functions in embryogenesis, seed maturation and lipid accumulation in B. napus.

Project description:Many evolutionarily conserved miRNAs in plants regulate transcription factors with key functions in plant development. Hence, mutations in core components of the miRNA biogenesis machinery causes strong growth defects. An essential aspect of miRNA biogenesis is the precise excision of the small RNA from an arm of the fold-back precursor. Defects in the selection of the correct miRNA sequence will ultimately affect miRNA target specificity, plant development and other processes controlled by these small RNAs. Intriguingly, plant miRNA precursors are largely variable in size and shape and can be processed by different modes. Here, we optimized genomic approaches to detect processing intermediates during miRNA biogenesis. We identified and characterized an endogenous miRNA whose processing is triggered by a terminal branched loop. Plant miRNA processing can be initiated by internal bubbles, small terminal loops or branched loops followed by dsRNA segments of 15-17 bp. Interestingly, precision and efficiency vary with the processing modes suggesting intrinsic differences between miRNA biogenesis pathways. Despite the various potential structural determinants present in a single a miRNA precursor, we found that DCL1 is mostly guided by a predominant structural region in each precursor in wild-type plants. However, genomic studies of miRNA processing intermediates in fiery1, hyl1 and se mutants revealed the existence of cleavage signatures consistent with the recognition of alternative or cryptic processing determinants in miRNA precursors. The results provide a general view of the mechanisms underlying the specificity of miRNA biogenesis in plants.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are processed from longer precursors with fold-back structures. While animal MIRNA precursors have homogenous structures, plant precursors comprise a collection of fold-backs with variable size and shape. Here, we design an approach (SPARE) to systematically analyze miRNA processing intermediates and characterize the biogenesis of most of the evolutionary conserved miRNAs present in Arabidopsis thaliana. We found that plant MIRNAs are processed by four mechanisms, depending on the sequential direction of the processing machinery and the number of cuts required to release the miRNA. Classification of the precursors according to their processing mechanism revealed specific structural determinants for each group. We found that the complexity of the miRNA processing pathways occurs in both ancient and evolutionary young sequences, and that members of the same family can be processed in different ways. We observed that different structural determinants compete for the processing machinery and that alternative miRNAs can be generated from a single precursor. The results provide a mechanistic explanation for the structural diversity of MIRNA precursors in plants and new insights towards the understanding of the biogenesis of small RNAs.
