The Arabidopsis F-box protein FBW2 degrades AGO1 to avoid spurious loading of illegitimate small RNA

ABSTRACT: RNA silencing is a conserved mechanism in eukaryotes and is involved in development, heterochromatin maintenance and defense against viruses. In plants, ARGONAUTE1 (AGO1) protein plays a central role in both microRNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA)-directed silencing and its expression is regulated at multiple levels. Here, we report that the F-box protein FBW2 targets proteolysis of AGO1 by a CDC48-mediated mechanism. We found that FBW2 assembles an SCF complex that recognizes the MID-PIWI domain of AGO1 and requires its C-terminal domain containing a GW motif for AGO1 turnover. We showed that FBW2 has a preference for the unloaded and for some mutated forms of AGO1 protein. While FBW2 loss of function does not lead to strong growth or developmental defects, it significantly increases RNA silencing activity. Interestingly, under conditions in which small RNA production or accumulation is affected, the failure to degrade AGO1 in fbw2 mutants becomes more deleterious for the plant. Hence, we showed that the non-degradable AGO1 protein assembles high molecular complexes and binds illegitimate small RNA leading to the cleavage of new target genes that belong to stress responses and cellular metabolic processes. Therefore, the control of AGO1 homeostasis by ubiquitin ligases, plays an important quality control to avoid off-target cleavage.

The Arabidopsis F-box protein FBW2 degrades AGO1 to avoid spurious loading of illegitimate small RNA [PARE-seq]

Virus infection triggers widespread silencing of host genes by a distinct class of endogenous siRNAs in Arabidopsis

Project description:Virus infection triggers widespread silencing of host genes by a distinct class of endogenous siRNAs in Arabidopsis This study constructed and sequenced two independent small RNA libraries from the upper uninoculated leaves of (i) WT Arabidopsis plants 14 d after mock inoculation and of (ii) rdr1 rdr6 plants 14 d after infection with Fny CMV-Δ2b, and one library each from the upper uninoculated leaves of (iii) WT, (iv) rdr1, and (v) rdr6 plants 14 d after infection with TuMV-GFP. Coimmunoprecipitation with FLAG- and HA-specific antibodies was used to obtain (vi,vii) AGO1 and (viii,ix) AGO2 complexes, respectively, from the FLAG-AGO1/ago1-36 and HA-AGO2 plants 14 d after infection with Fny CMV-Δ2b for extracting total loaded small RNAs for the construction and sequencing of small RNA libraries.

Farnesylated Heat Shock Protein 40 is a component of membrane-bound RISC in Arabidopsis

Project description:ARGONAUTE1 (AGO1) binds directly to small regulatory RNA and is a key effector protein of post-transcriptional gene silencing mediated by microRNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA). The formation of an RNA induced silencing complex (RISC) of AGO1 and small RNA requires the function of the Heat Shock Protein 70/90 chaperone system. Some functions of AGO1 occur in association with endomembranes, in particular the rough endoplasmic reticulum (rER), but proteins interacting with AGO1 in membrane fractions remain unidentified. In this study, we show that the farnesylated Heat Shock Protein 40 homologs, J2 and J3, associate with AGO1 in membrane fractions in a manner that involves protein farnesylation. We also show that three changes in AGO1 function are detectable in mutants in protein farnesylation and J2/J3. First, perturbations of the HSP40/70/90 pathway by mutation of j3, hsp90 and farnesyl transferase affect the amounts of AGO1 associated with membranes. Second, miRNA association with membrane-bound AGO1, and with membrane-bound polysomes is increased in farnesyl transferase and farnesylationdeficient J2/J3 mutants. Third, silencing by non-cell autonomously acting short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) is impaired. These observations highlight the involvement of farnesylated J2/J3 in small RNA-mediated gene regulation, and suggest that the importance of chaperone-AGO1 interaction is not limited to the RISC assembly process.

Distinct Functions of Argonaute Slicer in siRNA Maturation and Heterochromatin Formation

Project description:Small-RNA (sRNA)-guided transcriptional gene silencing by Argonaute (Ago)-containing complexes is fundamental to genome integrity and epigenetic inheritance. The RNA cleavage (“Slicer”) activity of Argonaute has been implicated in both sRNA maturation and target RNA cleavage. Typically, Argonaute slices and releases the passenger strand of duplex sRNA to generate active silencing complexes, but it remains unclear whether slicing of target nascent RNAs, or other RNAi components, also contributes to downstream transcriptional silencing. Here, we develop a strategy for loading the fission yeast Ago1 with a single-stranded sRNA guide, which bypasses the requirement for slicer activity in generation of active silencing complexes. We show that slicer-defective Ago1 can mediate secondary sRNA generation, H3K9 methylation, and silencing similar to or better than wild-type and associates with chromatin more efficiently. The results define an ancient and minimal sRNA-mediated chromatin silencing mechanism, which resembles the germline-specific sRNA-dependent transcriptional silencing pathways in Drosophila and mammals. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.

Arabidopsis AGO1 N-terminal Poly-Q domain promotes phase separation and association with stress granules during heat stress [miRNA-seq]

Project description:In Arabidopsis thaliana, ARGONAUTE1 (AGO1) plays a central role in microRNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated silencing. Nuclear AGO1 is loaded with miRNAs and exported to the cytosol where it associates to the rough ER to conduct miRNA-mediated translational repression, mRNA cleavage and biogenesis of phased siRNAs. These latter, as well as other cytosolic siRNAs, are loaded into cytosolic AGO1, but in which compartment this happens is not known. Moreover, the effect of stress on AGO1 localization is still unclear. Here, we show that heat stress (HS) promotes AGO1 protein accumulation, which co-localizes with components of the siRNA bodies and of stress granules (SGs). AGO1 does not need SGS3, a key component of siRNA bodies, to efficiently form condensates during HS. Instead, we found that the still poorly characterized N-terminal Poly-Q domain of AGO1, which contains a prion-like domain, is sufficient to undergo phase separation. Moreover, an exposure of 1 hour to HS only moderately affected AGO1 loading by miRNAs and target cleavage, suggesting that its localization in condensates protects AGO1 rather than promoting its activity in reprograming gene expression during stress. Collectively, our work shed new light on the impact of high temperatures on the main effector of RNA silencing in plants.

Global identification of Arabidopsis thaliana ARGONAUTE1-associated small RNA.

Project description:Small RNA from total RNA (input fraction) and immunoprecipitated HA-AGO1-complexes (IP fraction) were identified using high-throughput sequencing-by-synthesis. Two replicate input fraction samples were used as controls for two replicate IP fraction samples. Total RNA from input fractions and small RNA that co-immunoprecipitated with HA-AGO1 complexes were size fractionated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to recover 18-24 nucleotide small RNA. 3' and then 5' adaptors were serially ligated on to each small RNA followed by PAGE purification. RT-PCR was used to convert RNA to DNA amplicons. Amplicons were sequenced using the Illumina GAIIx platform. Resulting reads were parsed and mapped to the A. thaliana genome (TAIR9) using the CASHX pipeline.

Functional analysis of Arabidopsis ARGONAUTE1 using a slicer-defective mutant: Small RNA immunoprecipitation

Project description:The Arabidopsis ARGONAUTE (AGO) protein AGO1 associates with microRNA (miRNA) and specific classes of short-interfering RNA (siRNA). AGO1-small RNA complexes recognize target RNA transcripts through base-pairing interactions and inhibit translation of target RNAs through endonucleolytic cleavage (slicing) or non-degradative mechanisms. The PIWI domain of AGO1 contains a metal-coordinating triad [Asp-Asp-His] (DDH) that is required for slicer activity. Here, we compared the activities of wild type (DDH) and slicer active-site defective (DAH) forms of AGO1 by sequencing small RNA and target transcript RNAs that co-immunoprecipitated with hemagglutinin (HA)-tagged AGO1 proteins. We found that the population of miRNA that associated with both AGO1-DDH and AGO1-DAH proteins largely overlapped, suggesting that cleavage activity does not affect miRNA maturation. In contrast, slicer-defective AGO1-miRNA complexes associated with target RNA more effectively than did wild type AGO1-miRNA. These data indicate that slicer-defective AGO proteins can be used as an approach to capture AGO-small RNA-target RNA ternary complexes more efficiently for genome-wide analyses.
