Proteome of rice shoot apical meristem

ABSTRACT: DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification that specifies the basic state of pluripotent stem cells and regulates the developmental transition from stem cells to various cell types. In flowering plants, the shoot apical meristem (SAM) contains a pluripotent stem cell population which generates the aerial part of plants including the germ cells. Under appropriate conditions, the SAM undergoes a developmental transition from a leaf-forming vegetative SAM to an inflorescence- and flower-forming reproductive SAM. While SAM characteristics are largely altered in this transition, the complete picture of DNA methylation remains elusive. Here, by analyzing whole-genome DNA methylation of isolated rice SAMs in the vegetative and reproductive stages, we found that methylation at CHH sites is kept high, particularly at transposable elements (TEs), in the vegetative SAM relative to the differentiated leaf, and increases in the reproductive SAM via the RNA-dependent DNA methylation pathway. We also found that half of the TEs that were highly methylated in gametes had already undergone CHH hypermethylation in the SAM. Our results indicate that changes in DNA methylation begin in the SAM long before germ cell differentiation to protect the genome from harmful TEs.

LZY-interacting proteins in Arabidopsis

Project description:In many plant species, roots maintain specific growth angles relative to the direction of gravity, known as gravitropic set point angles (GSA). These contribute to the efficient acquisition of water and nutrients. AtLAZY1/LAZY1-LIKE (LZY) genes are involved in GSA control by regulating auxin flow toward the direction of gravity in Arabidopsis. LZYs are plant-specific unknown proteins with no domain for which the function is inferable. To clarify the molecular function of LZYs, we identified the proteins that interact with them by immunoprecipitation coupled with mass spectrometry.

Keep a distance to be different: axillary bud initiating at a distance to the shoot apical meristem are crucial for the perennial life style of Arabis alpina

Project description:Purpose: In higher plants, perennialism is achieved through axillary buds and side-shoots that stay vegetative. This work aims to analyze the pattern of axillary bud (AB) formation in the perennial model plant Arabis alpina and to study the role of LATERAL SUPPRESSOR (AaLAS) gene in this process. Methods: This study combines stereomicroscopic analysis with RNA sequencing to monitor how patterns of AB formation and gene expression correlate. The role of AaLAS was studied using an RNAi approach. Results: During vegetative development, ABs initiate at a distance to the SAM, whereas after induction of flowering ABs initiate adjacent to the SAM. Dormant buds are established before onset of vernalization. Transcript profiles of ABs initiated at a distance were different from that of the SAM, whereas transcript patterns of buds initiated in close proximity were similar to the corresponding SAM. Knock-down of AaLAS leads to loss of both dormant buds and vegetative side-shoots, strongly compromising perennial life style. Conclusions: AB formation is regulated differently during vegetative and reproductive development. New meristems that show gene expression profiles different from the SAM are established at a distance to the SAM. AaLAS plays an essential role in perennial life cycle modulating the establishment of dormant buds and vegetative side-shoots.

Natural depletion of H1 in sex cells causes DNA demethylation, heterochromatin decondensation and transposon activation

Project description:Transposable elements (TEs) are largely inactive. Interestingly, a subset of TEs are naturally expressed in the vegetative cell (VC) of the male gametophyte, pollen in Arabidopsis. However, the extent and mechanism of such TE activation were unknown. Through RNA-seq, we identified pollen-activated TEs and annotated the transcriptional start sites (TSSs) and transcriptional termination sites (TTSs) using a program called Mikado. We have previously shown that H1 is expressed in sperm but not in VC, which prompted us to ectopically express H1 in VC for studying TE regulation through RNA-seq and bisulfite-seq. Our RNA-seq data shows that H1 expression in VC represses some of pollen-activated TEs. Furthermore, bisulfite-seq data from the pollen nuclei isolated via fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) shows that H1 expression in VC increases DNA methylation of some of H1-repressed TEs around their TSSs, while leaving other H1-repressed TEs unchanged in DNA methylation. Our results indicate that H1 represses TE expression through both DNA methylation-dependent and -independent mechanisms and that natural depletion of H1 in VC allows TEs to be activated.

Distinct DNA methylomes of moso bamboo in the phase transition from vegetative to reproductive growth

Project description:In mammals, it is well known that DNA methylation has important roles during aging. However, age-related DNA methylation changes during phase transitions largely remain unclear in plants. Moso bamboo needs a very long time to transition from vegetative to floral phase. To comprehensively investigate the influence of DNA methylation on aging, we present here a distinctive single-base-resolution DNA methylation profile using both high-throughput bisulfite sequencing (BS-Seq) and single-molecule nanopore-based DNA sequencing, which covers the long period of vegetative growth and transition to flowering of moso bamboo’s development. We discovered that CHH methylation gradually accumulated from vegetative to reproductive growth in a time-dependent fashion. Importantly, DMR (differential DNA methylation) correlating with chronological aging occurred preferentially at both transcription start sites (TSS) and transcription termination sites (TTS). Genes with CG methylation changes showed enrichment of gene ontology (GO) categories in ‘vegetative to reproductive phase transition of meristem’. In addition, In combination with mRNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) revealed that DNA methylation in promoter, intron, and exon has different roles in regulating gene expression. Finally, circular RNA sequencing (circRNA-Seq) revealed that flanking introns of circRNAs show hypermethylation. Further analysis revealed that these flanking introns were enriched in LTR-retrotransponsons. Together, observations in this study provide insights about dynamic DNA methylation and circRNAs landscape with chronological ages, which paves the way to further study the impact of epigenetic factors on flowering in moso bamboo.

Epigenetic reprogramming and small RNA silencing of transposable elements in pollen.

Project description:The mutagenic activity of transposable elements (TEs) is suppressed by epigenetic silencing and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), especially in gametes that would transmit transposed elements to the next generation. In pollen from the model plant Arabidopsis, we show that TEs are unexpectedly reactivated and transpose, but only in the pollen vegetative nucleus, which accompanies the sperm cells but does not provide DNA to the fertilized zygote. TE expression coincides with down-regulation of the heterochromatin remodeler DECREASE IN DNA METHYLATION 1 and of most TE siRNAs. However, 21 nucleotide siRNA from Athila retrotransposons is generated in pollen and accumulates in sperm, indicating that siRNA from TEs activated in the vegetative nucleus can target silencing in gametes. We propose a conserved role for reprogramming in germline companion cells, such as nurse cells in insects and vegetative nuclei in plants, to reveal intact TEs in the genome and regulate their activity in gametes. Mature pollen was collected from Columbia reference strain plants by vacuum filtration (Johnson-Brousseau and McCormick, 2004). DNA and RNA were isolated from a ddm1-2 plant in the Columbia reference background. Small RNAs of 19–28 nt were size selected by denaturing 15% PAGE, and cloned as in Brennecke et al. (2007). Additional details regarding the cloning of small RNAs are found in the Supplemental Data. The small RNA libraries were sequenced on Illumina 1G sequencer. The total number of sequences perfectly matching the Arabidopsis genome were as follows: WT inflorescence, 4,158,848 (2,286,133 unique); WT pollen, 1,034,665 (437,984 unique); ddm1 inflorescence, 4,098,772 (1,637,771 unique); and WT sperm, 760,651 (429,972 unique).

Expression data for reproductive development in rice

Project description:Plants initially undergo a period of vegetative development, in which it produces leaves from shoot apical meristem (SAM) and roots from the root apical meristem. Later in development, the SAM undergoes a change in fate and enters reproductive development called as floral transition, producing flowers and seeds. Our understanding of the molecular and genetic mechanisms that underlie reproductive development in plants has increased tremendously in the past decade, essentially through the work on Arabidopsis. In this study, we have analyzed the spatial and temporal gene expression in various tissues/organs and developmental stages of rice using microarray technology to identify the genes differentially expressed during various stages of reproductive development.

Single-nucleus RNA-seq reveals that MBD5, MBD6, and SILENZIO maintain silencing in the vegetative cell of developing pollen

Project description:Silencing of transposable elements (TEs) drove the evolution of numerous redundant mechanisms of transcriptional regulation. Arabidopsis MBD5, MBD6, and SILENZIO act as TE repressors downstream of DNA methylation. Here we show via single-nucleus RNA-seq of developing male gametophytes that these repressors are critical for TE silencing in the pollen vegetative cell, which undergoes epigenetic reprogramming causing chromatin decompaction to support fertilization by sperm cells. Instead, other silencing mutants (met1, ddm1, mom1, morc) show loss of silencing in all pollen nucleus types and somatic cells. We found that TEs repressed by MBD5/6 gain accessibility in wild-type vegetative nuclei despite remaining silent, suggesting that loss of DNA compaction makes them sensitive to loss of MBD5/6. Consistently, crossing mbd5/6 to histone 1 mutants, which have decondensed chromatin in leaves, reveals derepression of MBD5/6-dependent TEs in leaves. MBD5/6 and SILENZIO thus act as a silencing system especially important when chromatin compaction is compromised.

Transcriptional activity and epigenetic regulation of transposable element in the symbiotic fungus Rhizophagus irregularis

Project description:Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form mutualistic relationships with most land plant species. AM fungi have long been considered as ancient asexuals. Long-term clonal evolution would be remarkable for a eukaryotic lineage and suggests the importance of alternative mechanisms to promote genetic variability facilitating adaptation. Here, we assessed the potential of transposable elements (TEs) for generating genomic diversity. The dynamic expression of TEs during Rhizophagus irregularis spore development suggests ongoing TE activity. We find Mutator-like elements located near genes belonging to highly expanded gene families. Characterising the epigenomic status of R. irregularis provides evidence of DNA methylation and small RNA production occurring at TE loci. Our results support a potential role for TEs in shaping the genome, and roles for DNA methylation and small RNA-mediated silencing in regulating TEs. A well-controlled balance between TE activity and repression may therefore contribute to genome evolution in AM fungi.
