Project description:Purpose: Circadian clock in plants temporally coordinates biological processes throughout the day synchronizing gene expression with environmental changes. Here, we examined the genome-wide circadian and diurnal control of Arabidopsis transcriptome using high throughout RNA-seq approach. Methods: Transcriptional and posttranscritional profiles were identified and characterized for Arabidopsis seedlings grown under continuous light or long-day condition (16 h light/8 h dark) for one day (each condition has two biological replicates). Results: We show that rhythmic posttranscriptional regulation is also a significant factor for genome-wide profile of circadian plant transcriptome. Two major posttranscriptioal mechanisms alternative splicing (AS) and alternative polyadenylation (APA) show circadian rhythmicity, resulting from the oscillation in the genes invovled in AS and APA. Conclusions: Arabidopsis circadian clock not only controls the transcription of genes, but also affects their posttranscriptional regulation through regulating AS and APA.
Project description:Circadian control of gene expression has been established in plants at the transcriptional level, but relatively little is known about circadian control of translation. We used polysome profiling to characterize regulation of transcription and translation over a 24-hour diurnal cycle in Arabidopsis, both in wild type and in plants with a disrupted clock due to constitutive overexpression of the CIRCADIAN CLOCK ASSOCIATED 1 gene (CCA1-ox, AGI AT2G46830).

Project description:The synchronization of the internal circadian clock with the external 24-h diurnal cycle is critical for ensuring optimal plant growth fitness. Despite lacking a DNA binding domain, LIGHT-REGULATED WD proteins (LWDs) are essential for sustaining and fine-tuning circadian rhythm1,2. However, the action mechanisms of how LWDs orchestrate the clock gene expressions remain largely elusive. We systematically identified 219 potential LWD1 protein partners at three Zeitgeber times (ZTs) using TurboID-mediated proximity labeling approach. A few LWD1-interacting epigenetic regulators are verified as new regulators of the Arabidopsis circadian clock, flowering time, and light-inhibited hypocotyl elongation. Our data also supports a new working model for LWD1-PSEUDO RESPONSE REGULATORS (PRRs)-TOPLESS (TPL) complex to repress the morning gene CIRCADIAN CLOCK ASSOCIATED (CCA1) in the late afternoon under diel cycles, shaping the expression trough of CCA1 in the late afternoon. Our results revealed a new co-repressor role of LWD1 by working with epigenetic regulators and transcription factors to underpin the precise operation of the circadian clock.
