Environmental gradients reveal stress hubs predating plant terrestrialization

ABSTRACT: Plant terrestrialization brought forth the land plants (embryophytes). Embryophytes account for most of the biomass on land and evolved from streptophyte algae in a singular event. Recent advances have unraveled the first full genomes of the closest algal relatives of land plants; among the first such species was Mesotaenium endlicherianum. Here, we used fine-combed RNAseq in tandem with photophysiological assessment on Mesotaenium exposed to a continuous range of temperature and light cues. Our data establish a grid of 42 different conditions, resulting in 128 transcriptomes and ~1.5 Tbp (~9.9 billion reads) of data to study combinatory effects of stress response using clustering along gradients. We describe major hubs in genetic networks underpinning stress response and acclimation in the molecular physiology of Mesotaenium. Our data suggest that lipid droplet formation, plastid and cell wall-derived signals denominate molecular programs since more than 600 million years of streptophyte evolution—before plants made their first steps on land.

Calculation of enrichment factors identifies low abundant lipid droplet-associated proteins from Arabidopsis thaliana seeds and seedlings

Project description:The developmental program of seed formation and seedling development requires not only tight regulation of cell division and metabolism but also the adaption of organelles in structure and function. Therefore, changes in organellar protein composition is one crucial factor in development. Of particular interest in plants is the switch to photoautotrophic growth, for which biosynthesis and degradation of lipid droplets (LDs) play a critical role. We present here a bottom-up proteomics study analyzing eight different developmental phases during silique development, seed germination and seedling establishment. We investigated both total protein fractions and LD-enriched fractions for each time point. The overall changes in the seed and seedling proteome during germination and seedling establishment monitored in this study present a rich resource for researchers interested in different questions of early seedling biology. The analysis of the proteome of LDs using LD-enrichment factors allowed the identification of four LD-associated protein families, which were subsequently confirmed by a cell biological approach. In addition to protein discovery, our dataset allows for the study of the dynamics of LD proteins throughout the developmental phases analyzed. We found that the relative levels of oleosin stay stable, while many other proteins accumulate on LDs at later stages of seedling establishment. The methodology described here is shown to be well suited for describing a comprehensive and quantitative view of the Arabidopsis proteome across time, with a particular focus on proteins associated with LDs.

Yellow nutsedge co-opts a seed-like proteome in oil rich tubers

Project description:Drought is the prime stressors that land plants have to overcome since their dawn. One strategy that land plants employ is to limit water loss and to transport water via a vascular system, another is to produce desiccation tolerant cells and tissues. In most flowering plants, the latter strategy is limited to seeds and to some extend pollen. Common to desiccation and drought tolerance is the accumulation of small osmolytes and proteins with protective functions. Also common to both strategies is the accumulation of neutral lipids, foremost triacylglycerol (TAG), in cytosolic lipid droplets (LDs) with especially high levels being reached in embryonic tissues. Here, we investigated yellow nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus), a monocot, perennial C4 plant. This species produces stolon-derived underground tubers that can fully desiccate and remain viable for years. Yellow nutsedge stands out, as its tubers store 25-30 % of their dry mass in lipids especially TAG, similar to seeds. We generated nanoLC-MS/MS-based proteomes in five replicates of four stages of tuber development and compared them to the proteomes of roots and leaves, yielding 2257 distinct protein groups. Our data reveal a striking upregulation of hallmark proteins of seeds in the tubers. A deeper comparison to a previously published proteome of Arabidopsis seeds and seedlings indicate that indeed a seed-like proteome was co-opted. This was further supported by an analysis of the proteome of a lipid-droplet enriched fraction of yellow nutsedge, which also displayed seed-like characteristics.

A seed-like proteome in oil-rich tubers

Project description:There are numerous examples in plants, where certain organs or developmental stages are desiccation tolerant and can withstand extended periods of severe water loss. One prime example are seeds and pollen of many spermatophytes. However, in some plants, also vegetative organs can be desiccation tolerant as for example the tubers of yellow nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus) that also store larger amounts of lipids similar to seeds. Interestingly, the closest relative purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus) generates tubers that do not accumulate oil and are not desiccation tolerant. We generated nanoLC-MS/MS-based proteomes of yellow nutsedge in five replicates of four stages of tuber development and compared them to the proteomes of roots and leaves, yielding 2257 distinct protein groups. Our data reveal a striking upregulation of hallmark proteins of seeds in the tubers. A deeper comparison to the tuber proteome of the closest relative purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus) and a previously published proteome of Arabidopsis seeds and seedlings indicates that indeed a seed-like proteome was found in yellow but not purple nutsedge. This was further supported by an analysis of the proteome of a lipid-droplet enriched fraction of yellow nutsedge, which also displayed seed-like characteristics. One reason for the differences between the two nutsedge species might be the expression of certain transcription factors homolog to ABSCISIC ACID INSENSITIVE3, WRINKLED1 and LEAFY COTYLEDON1 that drive gene expression in Arabidopsis seed embryos.

RNA-seq of Serritaenia testaceovaginata aka Mesotaenium testaceovaginatum (Zygnematophyceae, Streptophyta) treated with ultraviolet radiation against untreated control

Project description:The Zygnematophyceae are the closest algal relatives of land plants and hence interesting to understand land plant evolution. Species of the genus Serritaenia have an aerophytic lifestyle and form colorful, mucilaginous capsules, which surround the cells and block harmful solar radiation. Under laboratory conditions the production of this “sunscreen mucilage” can be induced by ultraviolet B radiation. The present dataset reveals insights into the cellular reaction of this alga to UV radiation (a major stressor in terrestrial habitats) and allows for comparisons with other algae and land plants to draw evolutionary conclusions.

Arabidopsis EARLY RESPONSIVE TO DEHYDRATION 7 associates with lipid droplets via its senescence domain

Project description:Lipid droplets (LDs) are neutral lipid-containing organelles found in all kingdoms of life and are decorated with proteins that carry out a variety of functions. Despite the similar subcellular location, the LD proteins that carry out these functions vary between kingdoms, and only a few LD proteins share obvious amino acid sequence identity between plants and mammals. To better understand the many cellular roles of LDs in plants, a more comprehensive inventory and characterization of LD proteins is required. To this end, we analyzed proteomics data of isolated LDs and identified EARLY RESPONSIVE TO DEHYDRATION 7 (ERD7) as a putative LD protein. mCherry-tagged ERD7 localized to both LDs and to the cytosol when transiently expressed in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves, whereas a fragment of ERD7 containing a “senescence domain” (SD) localized exclusively to LDs with no appreciable accumulation in the cytosol. Similarly, the SDs of the two Arabidopsis ERD7 homologs, here termed SENESCENCE-ASSOCIATED A2 (SENA2) and SENA3, localized exclusively to LDs as did the SD of a phylogenetically distant SD-containing protein, human spartin. In contrast, SDs of the Arabidopsis SENESCENCE-ASSOCIATED B (SENB) family proteins did not localize to LDs and instead localized to mitochondria. Arabidopsis erd7 mutants did not display any observable LD phenotypes in seeds, seedlings or senescent leaves, perhaps due to genetic redundancy of the SENA protein family. A yeast-two-hybrid screen revealed that the S4 family of MYB transcription factors interacts with ERD7, providing a potential avenue for the exploration of ERD7 function. In summary, we here report a previously unappreciated family of plant LD-associated proteins, SENA, which contain SDs that localize to LDs.

Identification of a lipid droplet-plasma membrane tethering complex

Project description:Membrane contact sites (MCS) are interorganellar contacts that allow for the direct exchange of molecules such as lipids or Ca2+ between organelles, but can also be a mean for tethering of organelles. In mammals and yeast, LDs have been shown to engage in MCS with nearly all organelles in the cell, while in plants only LD-ER and LD-peroxisome contacts have been characterised. We here analyse three proteins, LD-localised SEED LIPID DROPLET PROTEIN (SLDP) 1 and 2 and PM-localised LIPID DROPLET PLASMA MEMBRANE ADAPTOR. Knockout of SLDP1 and 2, as well as knockout of LIPA lead to aberrant clustering of LDs in seedlings, while ectopic co-expression of SLDP and LIPA in Nicotiana tabacum pollen tubes is sufficient to reconstitute LD-PM tethering in this tissue, where LDs normally dynamically float in the cytosol stream. We propose a model, in which SLDP and LIPA interact and thereby form a tether to anchor a subset of LDs to the PM during post-germinative growth in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Sequencing data for single cells and DNA-functionalized microbeads encapsulated in hydrogel droplets.

Project description:DNA barcodes can be used to identify single cells in a sequencing data space while optical codes can be used to track single live cells in an image data space. We have developed dual image and DNA (ID)-coding, which identifies individual single cells in both live image and sequencing data spaces. Samples provided here are relevant to proof-of-concept studies of ID-coding presented in the associated publication. DNA barcoded micro-particles were encapsulated in hydrogel droplets with or without single cells. The hydrogel droplets were then subjected to “single-droplet sequencing” where whole polyA-bearing nucleic acid components within a hydrogel droplet (i.e. mRNA from cells and synthetic DNA on beads) were concatenated by the same cell barcodes.

Conservation and divergence of small RNA pathways in vascular plants revealed by small RNA analyses in lycophytes and ferns

Project description:Pathways underlying miRNA biogenesis, degradation, and activity were established early in land plant evolution, but the 24-nt siRNA pathway that guides DNA methylation was incomplete in early land plants, especially lycophytes. We show that the functional diversification of key gene families such as DICER-LIKE and ARGONAUTE (AGO) as observed in angiosperms occurred early in land plants followed by parallel expansion of the AGO family in ferns and angiosperms. We uncovered an unexpected AGO family specific to lycophytes and ferns. Our phylogenetic analyses of miRNAs in lycophytes, bryophytes, ferns, and angiosperms refined the temporal origination of conserved miRNA families in land plants.

Mesostigma viride genome and transcriptome provide insights into the origin and evolution of Streptophyta [RNA-seq]

Project description:The Streptophyta include unicellular and multicellular charophyte green algae and land plants. Colonization of the terrestrial habitat by land plants was a major evolutionary event that has transformed our planet. So far lack of genome information on unicellular charophyte algae hinders our understanding of the origin and the evolution from unicellular to multicellular life in Streptophyta. This work reports the high-quality reference genome and transcriptome of Mesostigma viride, a single-celled charophyte alga with a position at the base of Streptophyta. There are abundant segmental duplications and transposable elements in M. viride, which contribute to a relatively large genome with high gene content compared to other algae and early diverging land plants. This work identifies the origin of genetic tools that multicellular Streptophyta have inherited and key genetic innovations required for evolution of land plants from unicellular aquatic ancestors. The findings shed light on the age-old questions of the evolution of multicellularity and the origin of land plants.
