Project description:Coffee leaf miner is an important plague in coffee crops. Using subtracted cDNA libraries and nylon filter arrays, we analyzed the expression profile of 1536 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) of coffee plants from an hybrid progeny (C. arabica x C. racemosa), containg resistant (R) and susceptible plants (S) to the infestation of coffee leaf miner. Leaf discs were collected from non-infested plants (R control - RC; S control - SC), infested plants after moth oviposition (R oviposition - Ro; S oviposition - So) and infested after larvar eclosion (R eclosion - Re; S eclosion - Se). Isolation and characterization of Coffea genes induced during coffee leaf miner (Leucoptera coffeella) infestation. Plant Science 169(2):351-360
Project description:Early development depends heavily on accurate control of maternally inherited mRNAs, and yet it remains unknown how maternal microRNAs (miRNAs) are regulated during maternal to zygotic transition (MZT). We here find that maternal miRNAs are highly adenylated at their 3' ends in mature oocytes and early embryos. Pervasive adenylation is observed in oocytes of fly, sea urchin and mouse, indicating that maternal miRNA adenylation may be widely conserved in animals. We identify Wispy as the enzyme responsible for miRNA adenylation in flies. Wispy is known to be expressed specifically in oocytes and early embryos and function as a noncanonical poly(A) polymerase. Knockout of wispy abrogates miRNA adenylation and induces miRNA accumulation in fly eggs whereas overexpression of Wispy increases adenylation and reduces miRNA levels in S2 cells. Adenylation occurs on both the 5p and 3p miRNAs, indicating that Wispy acts on miRNAs after Dicer processing. We further find that Wispy interacts with Ago1 through protein-protein interaction, which may allow the effective and selective adenylation of miRNAs. Thus, adenylation may contribute to the clearance of maternally deposited miRNAs during MZT. Our work provides the first mechanistic insights into the regulation of maternal miRNAs and illustrates the importance of RNA tailing in development.
