Project description:The post-translational protein modification known as SUMOylation has conserved roles in the heat stress responses of various species. The functional connection between the global regulation of gene expression and chromatin-associated SUMOylation in plant cells isunknown. Here, we uncovereda genome-wide relationship between chromatin-associated SUMOylation and transcriptional switches in Arabidopsis thaliana grown at room temperature, exposed to heat stress, and exposed to heat stress followed by recovery. The small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO)-associated chromatin sites, characterized by whole-genome ChIP-seq, were generally associated with active chromatin markers. In response to heat stress, chromatin-associated SUMO signals increased at promoter-transcriptional start site regions and decreased in gene bodies. RNAseqanalysissupportedthe role ofchromatin-associatedSUMOylationin transcriptionalactivation duringrapid responses to high temperature. Changes inSUMO signals on chromatinwere associated with the upregulation ofheat-responsivegenesandthedownregulationofgrowth-relatedgenes.DisruptionoftheSUMOligasegene SIZ1 abolished SUMO signals on chromatin and attenuated rapid transcriptional responses to heat stress. The SUMO signal peaks were enriched in DNA elements recognized by distinct groups of transcription factors under different temperature conditions. These observations provide evidence that chromatin-associated SUMOylation regulates the transcriptional switch between development and heat stress response in plant cells.

Project description:SUMOylation, a post-translational protein modification, is dramatically upregulated and critically involved in heat stress response conservatively among species. Previous studies in Arabidopsis indicated that numerous chromatin associated proteins are SUMOylation substrates and most of heat-enhancing SUMOylation reactions occur in nucleus. However, the global functional connection between gene expression regulation and SUMOylation on chromatin is completely unknown in plant cells. Here we show a genome-wide relationship of chromatin-associated SUMOylation and transcription switches under room temperature, heat stress, and recovering conditions in Arabidopsis. The SUMO-associated chromatin sites, characterized via whole-genome ChIP-seq assays, are generally correlated with active chromatin markers. In response to heat stress, we found chromatin-associated SUMO signals increased at promoter-transcriptional start site regions and decreased in the gene bodies. Further RNA-seq analysis supported the role of chromatin-associated SUMOylation in activation of transcription during rapid responses to high temperature. Changing of SUMO signals on chromatin is correlated with upregulation of heat-responsive genes and downregulation of growth-related genes. Disruption of the SUMO ligase gene SIZ1 abolishes SUMO signals on chromatin and attenuates the rapid transcriptional responses to heat stress. Interestingly, the SUMO signal peaks are enriched in DNA elements recognized by distinguished groups of transcription factors under different temperature conditions. Collectively, our data provide evidence that SUMOylation on chromatin regulates transcription switches during development and heat stress response, improving our understanding on the precise roles of SUMOylation in plant cells.

Project description:Background IRX3 is implicated in genetic predisposition to obesity via the FTO variant locus. IRX3 shows FTO risk allele-dependent upregulation specifically during early adipogenesis, leading to a shift from energy dissipation to fat storage in mature adipocytes. However, how changes in IRX3 expression at one developmental stage affect cellular phenotype at a later stage remains unclear. We here hypothesize that IRX3 regulates adipocyte development via transcriptional modulation of epigenetic reprogramming factors. Methods We combined ChIP-, ATAC- and RNA-sequencing to map direct Irx3 target genes in regions of open chromatin during early adipogenesis of wild-type and Irx3-KO preadipocytes. Gene ontology analyses was performed to identify significantly enriched biological pathways. Denaturing western blotting was used to assess sumoylation levels, and the inhibitor ML-792 was used to specifically block sumoylation. Luciferase assays were performed to estimate effects of ML-792 on Pparγ activity. Bodipy lipid staining, immunofluorescence and qPCR were employed to assess adipogenic differentiation in 3D culture. Alkaline phosphatase and Alizarine Red S staining, as well as immunofluorescence and qPCR were used to assess osteogenic differentiation in 3D culture. Results We identified more than 300 Irx3 binding sites in preadipocytes, and these were almost exclusively restricted to promoter regions, with a strong enrichment of genes related to sumoylation, histone modifications and chromatin remodeling. Genes from every step of the sumoylation cycle were bound by Irx3 and differentially expressed in response to Irx3-KO, leading to increased global sumoylation levels in the KO cells. Irx3 ablation and elevated sumoylation inhibited Pparγ activity and adipogenic differentiation in preadipocytes, both of which could be restored by pharmacological inhibition of sumoylation. The Irx3-KO cells demonstrated reduced epigenetic suppression against osteogenesis, resulting in increased osteogenesis in 3D culture. Finally, osteogenesis induced by Irx3 ablation could partially be reversed by inhibition of sumoylation. Conclusions Our study has uncovered IRX3 as a novel upstream regulator of sumoylation, and a potent controller of epigenetic regulators, both directly and indirectly via suppressing global sumoylation levels. This study indicates that the FTO locus promotes obesity via IRX3-mediated suppression of sumoylation, which promotes adipogenic commitment and differentiation through epigenetic programming.

Project description:Ambient temperature is one of the most important environment factors that direct all organisms for morphogenesis, metabolisms and growth. Plants have evolved efficient mechanisms adapting temperature fluctuation such as heat stress response (HSR). Although transcriptional regulatory network of plant HSR has been established, little is known on the genome-wide transcriptional changes within first several minutes upon heat shock (HS). To precisely measure the very first wave of transcriptional response to HS, we investigated the nascent RNA and mature mRNA from plant leaf tissue exposure to 5-min HS treatment using global run-on sequencing (GRO-seq) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) methods. We found that only a small group of genes were both up- or down-regulated at nascent RNA and mRNA levels. Primed plants that already exposed to a mild heat stress induced a more drastic transcriptomic alteration than naïve plants which had not experienced a heat stress. Group A1 HEAT SHOCK TRANSCRIPTION FACTORs (HsfA1s) are the major transcription factors in charge of the very early transcriptional HSR. Within 5-minute HS, we also observed that: 1) Engaged RNA polymerase II (Pol II) was accumulated downstream of transcription start sites; 2) 5' pause-release is a rate limiting step for induction of some heat shock protein genes; 3) A good number of genes switched transcription modes; 4) Pervasive read-through was induced at terminators. Plants' HSR is transcriptionally very quick. GRO-seq is sensitive and robust to detect quick response to HS. Heat stress memory takes place at multiple steps of transcription cycles such as Pol II recruitment, 5' pausing, elongation and termination.
