Project description:High-throughput pyrosequencing of endogenous small RNAs from CSR-1 IP complexes and csr-1(tm892) and ego-1(om97) mutants with corresponding controls. RNAi-related pathways regulate diverse processes, from developmental timing to transposon silencing. Here, we show that in C. elegans the Argonaute CSR-1, the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase EGO-1, the Dicer-related helicase DRH-3, and the Tudor-domain protein EKL-1 localize to chromosomes and are required for proper chromosome segregation. In the absence of these factors chromosomes fail to align at the metaphase plate and kinetochores do not orient to opposing spindle poles. Surprisingly, the CSR-1 interacting small RNAs (22G-RNAs) are antisense to thousands of germline-expressed protein-coding genes. Nematodes assemble holocentric chromosomes in which continuous kinetochores must span the expressed domains of the genome. We show that CSR-1 interacts with chromatin at target loci, but does not down-regulate target mRNA or protein levels. Instead, our findings support a model in which CSR-1 complexes target protein-coding domains to promote their proper organization within the holocentric chromosomes of C. elegans. 5 samples examined.

Project description:CSR-1 is an essential Argonaute protein that binds to a subclass of 22G-RNAs targeting most germline-expressed genes. Here we show that the two isoforms of CSR-1 have distinct expression patterns; CSR-1B is ubiquitously expressed throughout the germline and during all stages of development while CSR-1A expression is restricted to germ cells undergoing spermatogenesis. Furthermore, CSR-1A associates preferentially with 22G-RNAs mapping to spermatogenesis-specific genes whereas CSR-1B-bound small RNAs map predominantly to oogenesis-specific genes. Interestingly, the exon unique to CSR-1A contains multiple dimethylarginine modifications, which are necessary for the preferential binding of CSR-1A to spermatogenesis-specific 22G-RNAs. Thus, we have discovered a regulatory mechanism for C. elegans Argonaute proteins that allows for specificity of small RNA binding between similar Argonaute proteins with overlapping temporal and spatial localization.

Project description:Transgenic Arabidopsis plants (AGO2::HA:AGO2) were treated with either mock (10 mM MgCl2) or Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst) expressing avrRpt2 (R2) at a concentration of 2 x 107 cfu/ml for 14 hours. sRNAs associated with AGO1 and AGO2 were co-immunoprecipitated using antibodies against either AGO1 (AGO1-IP), or HA (hemagglutinin) (AGO2-IP). As controls, we also gel-purified the 18-28 nt fraction of the total RNAs from an AGO2 mutant (ago2-1). The co-immunoprecipitated or gel-purified RNAs were cloned and sequenced by Illumina deep sequencing. Examination of AGO-associated sRNAs in pathogen-treated or control plants

Project description:PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) promote fertility in many animals. Yet, whether this is due to their conserved role in repressing repetitive elements (REs) remains unclear. Here, we show that the progressive loss of fertility in Caenorhabditis elegans lacking piRNAs is not caused by derepression of REs or other piRNA targets, but rather mediated by the epigenetic silencing of all the replicative histone genes. In the absence of piRNAs, downstream components of the piRNA pathway relocalize from germ granules and piRNA targets to histone mRNAs to synthesize antisense small RNAs (sRNAs) and induce transgenerational silencing. Removal of the downstream components of the piRNA pathway restores histone mRNA expression and fertility in piRNA mutants, and the inheritance of histone sRNAs in wild-type worms adversely affects their fertility for multiple generations. We conclude that the sRNA-mediated silencing of histone genes impairs fertility of piRNA mutants and may serve to maintain piRNAs across evolution.

Project description:In the Caenorhabditis elegans germline, thousands of mRNAs are concomitantly expressed with antisense 22G-RNAs, which are loaded into the Argonaute CSR-1. Despite their essential functions for animal fertility and embryonic development, how CSR-1 22G-RNAs are produced remains unknown. Here, we show that CSR-1 slicer activity is primarily involved in triggering the synthesis of small RNAs on the coding sequences of germline mRNAs and post-transcriptionally regulates a fraction of targets. CSR-1-cleaved mRNAs prime the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, EGO-1, to synthesize 22G-RNAs in phase with ribosome translation in the cytoplasm, in contrast to other 22G-RNAs mostly synthesized in germ granules. Moreover, codon optimality and efficient translation antagonize CSR-1 slicing and 22G-RNAs biogenesis. We propose that codon usage differences encoded into mRNA sequences might be a conserved strategy in eukaryotes to regulate small RNA biogenesis and Argonaute targeting

Project description:Purpose: Searching for sRNAs in Salmonella pullorum by RNA sequencing and exploring their functions.Methods: High-throughput sequencing of RNA extracted from Salmonella pullorum under normal growth conditions to detect newly discovered sRNAs, followed by experiments to verify their functions.Results: The proportion of Clean Reads of this sequencing was >65%, and the base Q30s were all above 85%, indicating that the sequencing quality is good and can be used for subsequent analysis. The sRNAscanner software predicted that 148 new sRNAs might exist on the reference genome of Salmonella fowl dysentery, and the reads obtained from sequencing were compared to the genome, and it was found that 110 out of the 148 newly predicted sRNAs could be detected.Conclusions: sRNAs are widely found in bacteria and are involved in many physiological processes. In this study, we detected new sRNAs in Salmonella pullorum by RNA-seq, which lays the foundation for the subsequent investigation of the regulatory functions of sRNAs in bacteria.
