Expression data from 5-week-old Arabidopsis

ABSTRACT: AGO4 plays an important role in RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM). RdDM on specific genomic loci have the potential to silence the nearby protein coding gene. We used wild-type La-er and ago4-1 mutant Arabidopsis to identify AGO4-regulated genes. Five-weeks wild-type and ago4-1 mutant RNA were used for Affymetrix microarrays. Differentially expressed genes were identified to study the role of AGO4 in regulating plant development.

RNA polymerase V targets transcriptional silencing components to promoters of protein-coding genes

Project description:Transcriptional gene silencing controls transposons and other repetitive elements through RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) and heterochromatin formation. A key component of the Arabidopsis RdDM pathway is ARGONAUTE4 (AGO4), which associates with sizs to mediate DNA methylation. Here, we show that AGO4 preferentially targets transposable elements embedded within promoters of protein-coding genes. This pattern of AGO4 binding cannot be simply explained by the sequences of AGO4-bound siRNAs; instead, AGO4 binding to specific gene promoters is also mediated by long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) produced by RNA polymerase V. lncRNA-mediated AGO4 binding to gene promoters directs asymmetric DNA methylation to these genomic regions and is involved in regulating the expression of targeted genes. Finally, AGO4 binding overlaps sites of DNA methylation affected by the biotic stress response. Based on these findings, we propose that the targets of AGO4-directed RdDM are regulatory units responsible for controlling gene expression under specific environmental conditions.

AGO4 slicer activity reveals the passenger strand function of plant 23 nt siRNAs and the post-slicing retention of target RNAs mediating RNA-directed DNA methylation [WGBS]

Project description:In plants, transcriptional silencing by RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) is mediated by ARGONAUTE 4 (AGO4) and 24 nt short-interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that are generated in parallel with 23 nt RNAs of unknown function. We show that 23 nt RNAs serve as the passenger strands of 23/24 nt duplexes loaded into AGO4. The 24 nt siRNAs then guide AGO4 slicing of the passenger strands, generating 11 and 12 nt cleavage products. Unexpectedly, we find that the 12 nt products remain associated with the guide strand-AGO4 complexes. Long noncoding RNAs generated at RdDM loci are similarly sliced and retained by AGO4. These results suggest a model in which RNA POLYMERASE V transcripts at target loci are sliced repeatedly as transcription elongation proceeds, sequentially releasing AGO4-siRNA-scaffold RNA complexes that independently recruit the RdDM machinery. Consistent with this hypothesis, plant lines expressing wild-type versus slicing-defective AGO4 show quantitative variation in cytosine methylation and siRNA levels within RdDM loci.

Redundant AGO-hook platforms and AGO4-DNA interaction in polV-directed RdDM

Project description:Small RNA-dependent pairing of AGO/PIWI-containing effector complexes to chromatin-bound nascent transcripts has been proposed as a universal mechanism for guiding RNA-mediated TGS in eukaryotes. Likewise, Pol V-dependent transcripts have been implicated in the targeting of AGO4 to chromatin in RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) in plants. Here, we show that the AGO hook platforms of PolV and SPT5L, another component of the transcriptional complex, are functionally redundant yet essential for RdDM at a genome-wide level. Synthesis of Pol V transcripts is uncoupled from AGO4 recruitment in AGO hook-minus plants, challenging the prevailing RNA-based mechanism of AGO4 targeting to chromatin in RdDM. Transcription is essential to lock the PolV transcription complex into a stable and productive DNA-bound state potentiating interactions of AGO4 with DNA. Consistent with this idea, laser UV-assisted crosslinking shows specific AGO4-DNA interaction at RdDM loci, suggesting a revised model for Pol V-mediated DNA methylation in plants, which explains the exquisite specificity of methylation.

RNA-directed DNA methylation involves co-transcriptional small RNA-guided slicing of Pol V transcripts in Arabidopsis.

Project description:Small RNAs regulate chromatin modifications such as DNA methylation and gene silencing across eukaryotic genomes. In plants, RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) requires 24-nucleotide (nt) small RNAs (siRNAs) that bind ARGONAUTE4 (AGO4) and target genomic regions for silencing. It also requires non-coding RNAs transcribed by RNA POLYMERASE V (Pol V), that likely serve as scaffolds for binding of AGO4/siRNA complexes. Here we utilized a modified global nuclear run-on (GRO) protocol followed by deep sequencing to capture Pol V nascent transcripts genome-wide. We uncovered unique characteristics of Pol V RNAs, including a uracil (U) common at position 10. This uracil was complementary to the 5’ adenine found in many AGO4-bound 24-nt siRNAs and was eliminated in an siRNA-deficient mutant as well as in the ago4/6/9 triple mutant, suggesting that the +10U signature is due to siRNA-mediated co-transcriptional slicing of Pol V transcripts. Expressing wild-type AGO4 in ago4/6/9 was able to restore slicing of Pol V transcripts but a catalytically inactive AGO4 mutant did not correct the slicing defect. We also found that Pol V transcript slicing required the little understood elongation factor SPT5L. These results highlight the importance of Pol V transcript slicing in RNA-mediated transcriptional gene silencing, which is a conserved process in many eukaryotes.

AGO6 functions in RNA-mediated transcriptional gene silencing in shoot and root meristems in Arabidopsis thaliana

Project description:RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) is a small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated epigenetic modification that contributes to transposon silencing in plants. RdDM requires a complex transcriptional machinery that includes specialized RNA polymerases, named Pol IV and Pol V, as well as chromatin remodelling proteins, transcription factors, RNA binding proteins, and other plant-specific proteins whose functions are not yet clarified. In Arabidopsis thaliana, DICER-LIKE3 and members of the ARGONAUTE4 group of AROGONAUTE (AGO) proteins are involved, respectively, in generating and using 24-nt siRNAs that trigger methylation and transcriptional gene silencing (TGS) of homologous promoter sequences. AGO proteins act in silencing effector complexes by anchoring the 3â and 5â ends of the guide siRNAs at their N-terminal PAZ domain and MID domain, respectively. In addition, many AGO proteins cleave complementary target RNAs through an endonuclease (âslicerâ) activity in their C-terminal PIWI domain. AGO4 is the main AGO protein implicated in the RdDM pathway. Here we report the identification of the related AGO6 in a forward genetic screen for mutants defective in RdDM and TGS in shoot and root apical meristems in Arabidopsis thaliana. The identification of AGO6, and not AGO4, in our screen is consistent with the primary expression of AGO6 in shoot and root growing points and the preferential association of Pol V with AGO6. Examination of siRNA abundance in the trasngenic wild type plant (contains trigger and silencer transgenes) and the ago6-4 mutant.
