Project description:We performed gene expression analysis using RNA-seq data of four plant samples for each of the following groups: Wild Type (WT) plants and transgenic GFP6.4 Non-Silenced (NS), Ongoing Spreading (OS) post-transcriptional gene silencing, and Systemically Spread (SS) post-transcriptional gene silencing.

Project description:Transgene loci that spontaneously undergo RNA silencing have been instrumental to decipher RNA silencing pathways in plants. In contrast, transgene loci that are stably expressed have been poorly characterized. Here we show that stably expressed transgene loci epigenetically differ from endogenous genes. Impairing the histone H3K4me3 demethylase JMJ14 increases DNA methylation at stably expressed transgene loci but not at endogenous genes, whereas impairing the histone H3K9me2 demethylase IBM1 increases DNA methylation at endogenous genes, but decreases DNA methylation at stably expressed transgene loci. Moreover, impairing IBM1 promotes post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) at stably expressed transgene loci, whereas impairing JMJ14 prevents PTGS induced systemically by grafting onto silenced rootstocks. Given that impairing DNA methylation suppresses the effect of impairing JMJ14 and restores transgene capacity to undergo graft-induced PTGS, we propose that transgene DNA methylation prevents PTGS, likely by limiting the transcription of aberrant RNA by-products that are transformed into dsRNA by cellular RNA-dependent RNA polymerases to activate PTGS.

Project description:The demethylating drug 5-aza-2â-deoxycytidine (5-aza-2dC) is frequently used to investigate the; effect of global DNA demethylation on gene expression in cultured mammalian cells. Here, we utilize a novel method that uses the reactivation of an X-inactivated GFP transgene as a marker to enrich for cells that have undergone drug-induced demethylation. By combining it with microarray gene expression profiling, we demonstrate the methodâs utility in identifying genes activated by global DNA demethylation. Experiment Overall Design: Mice used have an X-linked GFP transgene driven by the chicken β-actin promoter and CMV Experiment Overall Design: intermediate early enhancer in a 129/ICR mixed genetic background obtained from The Jackson Experiment Overall Design: Laboratory. Male transgenic animals were bred to wildtype BL6 female mice to obtain females that were heterozygous for the transgene. Dermal fibroblasts were obtained from explant cultures of neonatal female mice from these crosses. The cells were then sorted using FACS to obtain only GFP-nonexpressing cells. These cells represent the population with the GFP transgene on the inactive X chromosome. The GFP-silent cells were treated with the demethylating drug 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine. This drug does not affect all cells and uses a passive form of demethylation that results in a heterogenous population of unaffected and demethylated cells. A portion of the cells affected by demethylation activate the inactive GFP transgene by demethylating the inactive X chromosome. The GFP-active and GFP-inactive cells were sorted by FACS and assayed by microarray to determine what genes were affected by demethylation. Also the microarray results indicated if sorting for GFP-active cells enriches for cells affected by the drug.

Project description:The molecular basis of transgene susceptibility to silencing is poorly characterized in plants, thus we evaluated several transgene design parameters as means to reduce heritable sRNA-mediated transgene silencing. Analyses of Arabidopsis plants with transgenes encoding a microalgal polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) synthase revealed that small RNA (sRNA)-mediated silencing, combined with the use of repetitive regulatory elements, led to aggressive transposable element (TE)-like silencing of canola-biased PUFA transgenes. Diversifying regulatory sequences and using native microalgal coding sequences (CDSs) with higher GC content improved transgene expression and resulted in remarkable trans-generational stability via reduced accumulation of sRNAs and DNA methylation. Further experiments in maize with transgenes individually expressing three Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) crystal proteins tested the impact of CDSs recoding using different codon bias tables. Transgenes with the higher GC content exhibited increased transcript and protein accumulation. These results demonstrate that the sequence composition of transgene CDSs can directly impact silencing providing design strategies for increasing transgene expression levels and reducing risks of heritable loss of transgene expression.

Project description:In eukaryotes, heterochromatin is characterized by numerous epigenetic marks, including DNA methylation. Spreading of these marks into nearby active genes must be avoided in order to maintain appropriate gene expression. Here, we uncover Arabidopsis Methyl-CpG-Binding Domain 7 (MBD7) and Increased DNA Methylation 3 (IDM3) as anti-silencing factors that prevent transgene repression and genome-wide DNA hypermethylation. MBD7 preferentially binds to highly methylated, CG-dense regions associated with non-CG methylation and physically associates with other anti-silencing factors, including the histone acetyltransferase IDM1, IDM2, and IDM3. IDM1 and IDM2 were previously shown to facilitate active DNA demethylation by the 5-methylcytosine DNA glycosylase/lyase ROS1. Thus, MBD7 tethers the IDM proteins to methylated DNA, which enables the function of DNA demethylases that in turn establish chromatin boundaries and limit DNA methylation Using ChIP-seq to study the genomic targeting principle of MBD7 protein

Project description:Gene silencing in plants using topical dsRNA is a new approach that has the potential to be a sustainable component of the agricultural production systems of the future. However, more research is needed to enable this technology as an economical and efficacious supplement to current crop protection practices. Systemic gene silencing is one key enabling aspect. The objective of this research was to better understand topically-induced, systemic transgene silencing in Nicotiana benthamiana. A previous report details sequencing of the integration site of the Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) transgene in the well-known N. benthamiana GFP16C event. This investigation revealed an inadvertent co-integration of part of a bacterial transposase in this line. To determine the effect of this transgene configuration on systemic silencing, new GFP transgenic lines with or without the transposase sequences were produced. GFP expression levels in the 19 single-copy events and three hemizygous GFP16C lines produced for this study ranged from 50-72% of the homozygous GFP16C line. GFP expression was equivalent to GFP16C in a two-copy event. Local GFP silencing was observed in all transgenic and GFP16C hemizygous lines after topical application of carbon dot-based formulations containing a GFP targeting dsRNA. The GFP16C-like systemic silencing phenotype was only observed in the two-copy line. The partial transposase had no impact on transgene expression level, local GFP silencing, small RNA abundance and distribution, or systemic GFP silencing in the transgenic lines. We conclude that high transgene expression level is a key enabler of topically-induced, systemic transgene silencing in N. benthamiana.
