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.

Project description:SLOMO is an F-box protein, but little is known about its function and interactors as an F-box protein. we used a SLOMO-decoy approach here. The SLOMO-decoy protein, which lacks the F-box domain, is still able to bind to substrates but lacks the ability to recruit E2 conjugating enzymes to mediate substrate ubiquitination and degradation. We generated a stable Arabidopsis line expressing 35S::GFP:SLOMO-Decoy, and performed immunoprecipitation mass spectrometry (IP-MS) analyses on GFP:SLOMO-decoy.

Project description:The dynamic shuttling of proteins between the nucleus and cytoplasm orchestrates vital functions in eukaryotes. Here, we unveil multifaceted functions of Arabidopsis Sin3-associated protein 18 kDa (SAP18) in regulating development and stress tolerance. As a crucial component of the Apoptosis- and Splicing-Associated Protein (ASAP) complex in the nucleus, SAP18 plays an integral role in the precise splicing of genes associated with leaf development, decoding its significance in post-transcriptional regulatory networks. Under heat shock conditions, SAP18 relocates to cytoplasmic stress granules and processing bodies, suggesting a novel thermoprotective role. This dual localization highlights SAP18 versatility in coordinating cellular responses, encompassing both nuclear splicing regulation and cytoplasmic stress granule dynamics. Our findings significantly expand the understanding of the intricate involvement of SAP18 in plant growth, and pave the way for future exploration of its diverse functions in thermotolerance mechanisms.

Project description:To incorporate the far-red light (FR) signal into a strategy for optimizing plant growth, FAR-RED ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL1 (FHY1) mediates the nuclear translocation of the FR photoreceptor phytochrome A (phyA) and facilitates the association of phyA with the promoters of numerous associated genes crucial for the response to environmental stimuli. However, whether FHY1 plays additional roles following FR irradiation remains elusive. Here, by the global identification of FHY1 chromatin association sites through ChIP-seq analysis and by the comparison of FHY1-associated sites with phyA- associated sites, we demonstrated that nuclear FHY1 can either act independently of phyA or act in association with phyA to activate the expression of distinct target genes. We also determined that phyA can act independently of FHY1 in regulating phyA-specific target genes. Furthermore, we determined that the independent FHY1 nuclear pathway is involved in crucial developmental aspects, as in the case of inhibited seed germination under FR during salt-stress. Notably, the differential presence of cis-elements and transcription factors in common and unique FHY1 and/or phyA associated genes are indicative of the complexity of the independent and coordinated FHY1 and phyA pathways. Our study uncovers new aspects of FHY1 function beyond its currently recognized role in phyA-dependent photomorphogenesis. The 35S: GFP-FHY1 fhy1-1 transgenic line and the fhy1-1 mutant were grown under the same light conditions used (D4d+FR3h) for RNA preparation and sequencing. Three biologically replicates were subjected to high-throughput Solexa (Illumina) sequencing.

Project description:Cells must sense and respond to sudden maladaptive environmental changes—stresses—to survive and thrive. Across eukaryotes, stresses such as heat shock trigger conserved responses: growth arrest, a specific transcriptional response, and biomolecular condensation of protein and mRNA into structures known as stress granules under severe stress. The composition, formation mechanism, adaptive significance, and even evolutionary conservation of these condensed structures remain enigmatic. Here we provide an unprecedented view into stress-triggered condensation, its evolutionary conservation and tuning, and its integration into other well-studied aspects of the stress response. Using three morphologically near-identical budding yeast species adapted to different thermal environments and diverged by up to 100 million years, we show that proteome-scale biomolecular condensation is tuned to species-specific thermal niches, closely tracking corresponding growth and transcriptional responses. In each species, poly(A)-binding protein—a core marker of stress granules—condenses in isolation at species-specific temperatures, with conserved molecular features and conformational changes modulating condensation. From the ecological to the molecular scale, our results reveal previously unappreciated levels of evolutionary selection in the eukaryotic stress response, while establishing a rich, tractable system for further inquiry.

Project description:Poly(A)-binding protein (Pab1), a canonical stress granule marker, condenses upon heat shock or starvation, promoting adaptation, The molecular basis of condensation has remained elusive due to a dearth of techniques to probe structure directly in condensates. Here we apply hydrogendeuterium exchange/mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) to investigate the molecular mechanism of Pab1’s condensation. We find that Pab1’s four RNA recognition motifs (RRMs) undergo different levels of partial unfolding upon condensation, and the changes are similar for thermal and pH stresses. Although structural heterogeneity is observed, the ability of MS to describe individual subpopulations allows us to identify which regions become partially unfolded and contribute to the condensate’s interaction network. Our data yield a clear molecular picture of Pab1’s stresstriggered condensation, which we term sequential activation, wherein each RRM becomes activated at a temperature where it partially unfolds and associates with other likewise activated RRMs to form the condensate. This model thus implies that sequential activation is dictated by the underlying free energy surface, an effect we refer to as thermodynamic specificity. Our study represents a methodological advance for elucidating the interactions that drive biomolecular condensation that we anticipate will be widely applicable. Furthermore, our findings demonstrate how condensation can use thermodynamic specificity to perform an acute response to multiple stresses, a potentially general mechanism for stress-responsive proteins.

Project description:DELLA proteins act as hubs that relay environmental information to the multiple transcriptional circuits that control growth and development through physical interaction with transcription factors from different families. We have analyzed the presence of one DELLA protein at the Arabidopsis genome by chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled to large-scale sequencing and we find that it binds at the promoters of multiple genes. Enrichment analysis shows a strong preference for cis elements recognized by specific transcription factor families. In particular, we demonstrate that DELLA proteins are recruited by type-B ARABIDOPSIS RESPONSE REGULATORS (ARR) to the promoters of cytokinin-regulated genes, where they act as transcriptional co-activators. The biological relevance of this mechanism is underpinned by the necessity of simultaneous presence of DELLAs and ARRs to restrict root meristem growth and to promote photomorphogenesis. Provided are 3 biological replicates analysing RGA binding sites in Arabidopsis seedlings. ChIP-seq was performed on plants expressing RGA-GFP under the native RGA promoter and on non-transgenic control plants as reference

Project description:Heat stress inhibits photosynthesis efficiency, thereby suppressing plant growth and crop yield. However, the mechanism underlying this inhibition is not fully understood. Here, we report that the multiple organellar RNA-editing factor 8 (MORF8) forms condensates with solid-like properties in chloroplast upon heat stress. In vitro data show that the MORF8 condensation is intrinsically heat-dependent and primarily determined by its IDR (intrinsically disordered region). Purification and characterization of MORF8 condensates show that numerous editing factors including PPR proteins and MORFs are partitioned. We provide both genetic and biochemical evidence that MORF8 condensation inhibits chloroplast RNA editing. In agreement, we find that both heat stress and MORF8 condensation lead to reduced editing of RNAs encoding NADH dehydrogenase-like (NDH) complex and impaired NDH activity and photosynthesis efficiency. These findings uncover MORF8 as a putative chloroplastic thermosensor that mediates photosynthesis inhibition by heat and highlight the functional significance of solid material properties of biomolecular condensates.

Project description:The environmental and endogenous signals, light, temperature, brassinosteroid (BR), and gibberellin (GA), regulate cell elongation largely by controlling the expression of the PRE family helix-Loop-helix (HLH) factors, which promote cell elongation by interacting antagonistically with another HLH factor, IBH1. But the molecular mechanism by which PREs and IBH1 regulate gene expression has remained unknown. Here we show that IBH1 interacts with and inhibits a DNA-binding bHLH protein HBI1. Overexpression of HBI1 increased hypocotyl and petiole elongation, whereas dominant inactivation of HBI1 and its homologs caused a dwarf phenotype, indicating that HBI1 is a positive regulator of cell elongation. In vitro and in vivo experiments showed that HBI1 directly bound to the promoters and activated two EXPANSIN genes encoding cell wall-loosening enzymes; HBI1's DNA-binding and transcriptional activities were inhibited by IBH1, but the inhibitory effects of IBH1 were abolished by PRE1. The results indicate that PREs activate the DNA-binding bHLH factor HBI1 by sequestering its inhibitor IBH1. Altering each of the three factors affected plant sensitivities to BR, GA, temperature, and light. Our study demonstrates that PREs, IBH1 and HBI1 form a chain of antagonistic switches that controls cell elongation downstream of multiple external and endogenous signals. Compare the transcriptome of IBH1 and PRE1

The treated plants were utilized for ChIP-seq analysis with an anti-FHY1 antibody that exhibits high specificity in the detection of FR-induced FHY1-association events. FHY1 associated-DNA samples from three distinct biological replicates and an input DNA sample (as a negative control) were subjected to high-throughput Solexa (Illumina) sequencing.
