Project description:Two Arabidopsis thaliana splicing factor [AtU2AF65 isoforms (AtU2AF65a and AtU2AF65b)] mutants displayed the opposite flowering phenotypes. To assay the RNA processing including alternative splicing and pre-mRNA splicing of target genes of this protein in Arabidopsis, the 7-day seedlings (shoot apices) of wild type atu2af65a and atu2af65b mutants were used for RNA-Seq.

Project description:Alternative splicing is prevalent in plants, but little is known about its regulation in the context of developmental and signaling pathways. We describe here a new factor that influences pre-mRNA splicing and is essential for embryonic development in Arabidopsis thaliana. This factor was retrieved in a genetic screen that identified mutants impaired in expression of an alternatively spliced GFP reporter gene. In addition to the known spliceosomal component PRP8, the screen retrieved a previously uncharacterized protein containing a Replication termination factor2 (Rtf2) domain defined by a C2HC2 zinc finger. The Rtf2 protein was discovered in fission yeast, where it stabilizes paused DNA replication forks by an unknown mechanism. When homozygous, a null mutation in Arabidopsis RTF2 (AtRTF2) is embryo-lethal, indicating that it encodes an essential protein. As revealed by quantitative RT-PCR, impaired expression of GFP in atrtf2 and prp8 mutants is attributable to inefficient splicing of the GFP pre-mRNA. A genome-wide analysis using RNA-seq demonstrated that 12% of total introns display a significant degree of retention in atrtf2 mutants. Intron-retaining transcripts are enriched from genes encoding proteins involved in signaling pathways and membrane transport. Affinity purification of AtRTF2 followed by mass spectrometry identified several known and predicted splicing proteins. In a yeast two-hybrid screen, AtRTF2 interacted with Exo70B1, a peripheral subunit of the exocyst, which is involved in vesicle trafficking. Considering these results and previous suggestions that Rtf2 constitutes an ubiquitin-related domain, we discuss possible roles of AtRTF2 in ubiquitin-based regulation of pre-mRNA splicing and membrane signaling to the spliceosome. Rtf2 is SDR1 (= AtRTF2) and was discovered in a genetic suppressor screen using the dms4 mutant. DMS4 was described in Kanno et al (2010) EMBO Rep. 11:65-71.

Project description:The homozygous of mutants of Arabidopsis gene (AT1G60900) are early flower. This gene encodes a homolog of yeast U2AF65 which is involved in pre-mRNA splicing of target genes. To assay the introns characters of target genes of this protein in Arabidopsis thaliana, the 10-day seedlings of wild type and atu2af65b mutant were used for RNA-Seq.

Project description:Human genome encodes nine protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMT1–9), which catalyze three types of arginine methylation: monomethylation (MMA), asymmetric dimethylation (ADMA), and symmetric dimethylation (SDMA). These modifications can alter protein-protein and protein-nucleic acid interactions and play critical roles in transcription regulation and RNA metabolism. A few years ago, we characterized the newest member of the PRMT family–PRMT9 as a SDMA modifying enzyme and identified the splicing factor SF3B2 as its methylation substrate, linking its function to pre-mRNA splicing. However, the biological function of PRMT9 and the molecular mechanism by which PRMT9-catalyzed SF3B2 arginine methylation regulates pre-mRNA splicing remain largely unknown. Here, by charactering an intellectual disability patient-derived PRMT9 mutation (G189R) and establishing a Prmt9 conditional knockout (cKO) mouse model, we uncovered an important function of PRMT9 in neuronal development. We found that G189R mutation completely abolishes PRMT9 methyltransferase activity and destabilizes the protein by promoting its ubiquitination and proteasome degradation. PRMT9 loss in hippocampal neurons alters RNA splicing of ~1800 transcripts, which likely account for the abnormal synapse development and impaired learning and memory observed in the Prmt9 cKO mouse. Mechanistically, we discovered a critical protein-RNA interaction between the arginine 508 (R508) of SF3B2, the site that is exclusively methylated by PRMT9, and the pre-mRNA anchoring site, a cis-regulatory element located upstream of the branch point sequence (BPS). Additionally, we provide strong evidence that supports SF3B2 being the major and likely only substrate of PRMT9, thus highlighting the conserved function of PRMT9/SF3B2 axis in pre-mRNA splicing regulation.

Project description:In this study, we analyzed the Arabidopsis homologue of PRMT5, AtPRMT5M-bM-^@M-^Ys function in RNA processing. RNA-seq analyses revealed that AtPRMT5 is involved in a subset of pre-mRNA splicing. Several RNA processing factors involved in regulating flowering time were validated that the corresponding intron retention surely exists in atprmt5 mutants. AtSm proteins can also be methylated by AtPRMT5 in vitro and in vivo, which may be the reasons for the pre-mRNA splicing defects in atprmt5.

Project description:We identified PRP4 kinase-A (PRP4ka) in a forward genetic screen based on an alternatively-spliced GFP reporter gene in Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis). Prp4 kinase, which was the first spliceosome-associated kinase shown to regulate splicing in fungi and mammals, has not yet been studied in plants. Analysis of RNA-seq data from the prp4ka mutant revealed widespread perturbations in alternative splicing. A quantitative iTRAQ-based phosphoproteomics investigation of the mutant identified phosphorylation changes in several serine/arginine-rich proteins, which regulate constitutive and alternative splicing, as well as other splicing-related factors. The results demonstrate the importance of PRP4ka in alternative splicing and suggest that PRP4ka may influence alternative splicing patterns by phosphorylating a subset of splicing regulators.

Project description:Alternative splicing plays a major role in expanding the potential informational content of eukaryotic genomes. It is an important post-transcriptional regulatory mechanism that can increase protein diversity and affect mRNA stability. Cold stress, which adversely affects plants growth and development, regulates the transcription and splicing of plants splicing factors. This affects the pre-mRNA processing of many genes. To identify cold regulated alternative splicing we applied Affymetrix Arabidopsis tiling arrays to survey the transcriptome under cold treatment conditions.
