Positive feedback between TOR singling, energy metabolism and lysine acetylation drives heterosis in elite hybrid rice

ABSTRACT: Heterosis refers to the superior performance of the hybrid compared with its parental lines. Despite several genetic models and different molecular pathways proposed to explain heterosis, it remains unclear how hybrid cells integrate complementary gene expression, metabolic accumulation and/or hormone signaling to drive heterotic growth. In this work, using integrative omics combined with biochemical analyses, we uncovered an enhanced TORC1 signaling in the elite hybrid rice Shanyou 63 (SY63) relative to the parental lines, which was associated with accumulation of growth-promoting (translation, cell division) and energy metabolic (glycolysis and TCA) proteins, enhanced energy metabolic activities, increased histone H3 and cellular protein lysine acetylation, and superior growth of the panicle meristem. Metabolism of nuclear-cytosolic acetyl-Coenzyme A was also enhanced in the hybrid, which paralleled with increases of histone H3 acetylation to selectively target growth-promoting and metabolic genes expression. Lysine acetylation of cellular proteins including TORC1, ribosomal proteins, and energy metabolic enzymes was also augmented and/or remodeled, potentially modulating their activities. The data indicate that the positive feedback loop between TOR-signaling, energy-producing metabolic activity, lysine acetylation, and growth-promoting gene expression is a mechanism underling the superior growth rate of the hybrid. The results imply that any enhanced activity within the loop would drive and sustain the TOR signaling to promote superior growth of hybrids, which may represent a general mechanistic model for heterosis.

Project description:We show that the sensitivity of tsc mutant cells to rapamycin is mediated by TORC1 and can be suppressed by overexpression of the 2-oxoglutarate-Fe(II) dependent oxygenase, Isp7. We show that Isp7 is a novel regulator of amino acids uptake that acts via regulation of gene expression, both upstream and downstream of TOR signaling. suppressed by overexpression of the putative 2-oxoglutarate-Fe(II) dependent oxygenase, Isp7. We show that Isp7 is a novel master regulator of amino acids uptake that acts via regulation of gene expression, both upstream and downstream of TOR signaling. TOR proteins reside in two distinct complexes, TOR complex 1 and 2 (TORC1 and TORC2) that are central for the regulation of cellular growth, proliferation and survival. TOR is also the target for the immunosuppressive and anti-cancer drug rapamycin. In Schizosaccharaomyces pombe, disruption of the TSC complex, mutations in which can lead to the Tuberous Sclerosis syndrome in humans, results in a rapamycin sensitive phenotype under poor nitrogen conditions. We show here that the sensitivity to rapamycin is mediated via inhibition of TORC1 and suppressed by overexpression of isp7+, a member of the family of 2-oxoglutarate-Fe(II) dependent oxygenases. The transcript level of isp7+ is negatively regulated by TORC1 but positively regulated by TORC2. Yet, we find extensive similarity between the transcriptome of cells disrupted for isp7+ and cells mutated in the catalytic subunit of TORC1. Moreover, Isp7 regulates amino acid permease expression similarly to TORC1 and in contrast to TORC2. Overexpression of isp7+ induces TORC1-dependent phosphorylation of ribosomal protein Rps6, while inhibiting TORC2-dependent phosphorylation and activation of the AGC-like kinase Gad8. Taken together, our findings suggest a central role for Isp7 in amino acid homeostasis and the presence of isp7+-dependent regulatory loops that affect both TORC1 and TORC2. 6 Samples (arrays) were performed. We generated pairwise comparison between DISP7 and WT, using Partek Genomics Suite. Genes with pâ¤5%[FDR] and a fold-change difference of â¥2\1.5 or <-2\-1.5 were selected.
