Project description:Development of eukaryotic organisms is controlled by transcription factors that trigger specific and global changes in gene expression programmes. In plants, MADS-domain transcription factors act as master regulators of developmental switches and organ specification. However, the mechanisms by which these factors dynamically regulate the expression of their target genes at different developmental stages are still poorly understood. Here, we characterize the dynamic relationship of chromatin accessibility, gene expression and DNA-binding of two MADS-domain proteins during Arabidopsis flower development. The developmental dynamics of DNA-binding of APETALA1 and SEPALLATA3 is largely independent of chromatin accessibility, and our findings suggest that AP1 acts as 'pioneer factor' that modulates chromatin accessibility, thereby facilitating access of other transcriptional regulators to their target genes. Our data provide a primer to the idea that cellular differentiation in plants can be associated to dynamic changes in chromatin accessibility, as consequence of the action of master transcription factors. We used the AP1-GR system to conduct chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments with SEP3-specific antibodies and GR atibodies followed by deep-sequencing (ChIP-Seq) in order to determine SEP3 and AP1 binding sites on a genome-wide scale. Samples were generated from tissue in which the AP1-GR protein was induced using a treatment of 1 uM DEX to the shoot apex. The material was collect 2, 4 and 8 days after treatment. As control, we performed ChIP experiments using pre-immune serum at the different time points. Experiments were done in two biological replicates for 4 days and 8 days time-points while one biological replicate was done for control samples and 2 days time-point. The GSE47981 includes expression data that are complementary to the data in the GSE46986 and GSE46894.

Our data provide a primer to the idea that cellular differentiation in plants can be associated to dynamic changes in chromatin accessibility, as consequence of the action of master transcription factors. We used the AP1-GR system to conduct DNaseI hypersensitivity experiments at different stages of flower development. Samples were generated from tissue in which the AP1-GR protein was induced using a treatment of 1 uM DEX to the shoot apex. The material was collect before treatment and 2, 4 and 8 days after treatment. As control, naked DNA from wild-type inflorescences was used. Experiments were done in two biological replicates. The GSE47981 includes expression data that are complementary to the data in the GSE46986 and GSE46894.

Project description:Characterization of the activities of the transcription factors that AP3 and PI encode throughout flower development using perturbation assays in combination with a floral induction system (FIS) that allows a stage-specific analysis of flower development. The series contains two types of perturbation experiments, static permutations (null alleles pi-1 and ap3-3, respectively) and dynamic perturbations (temperature-sensitive ap3-1 allele). Two conditions (i.e. genotypes: ap3-3 or pi-1 homozygous in the FIS vs ap3-3 or pi-1 heterozygous in the FIS, respectively / ap3-1 plants vs AP3 plants shifted from 16degrees to 27 degrees ) at three developmental stages each

Project description:JAGGED (JAG) is a regulatory gene that controls shoot organ growth in Arabidopsis. To reveal the molecular links between JAG and the cellular activities required for tissue growth, we used chromatin immunoprecipitation-high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-Seq). To reveal the genome-wide JAG binding sites, we used anti-GFP antibodies to pull down JAG-bound DNA from jag-2 inflorescences complemented with a genomic JAG-GFP fusion (JAG:JAG-GFP) [14]. ChIP-Seq was performed and analyzed in triplicate, with wild-type inflorescences used as epitope-negative controls.

Project description:The secondary structure of an RNA molecule plays an integral role in its maturation, regulation, processing, and functionality. However, the global influence of this feature on plant gene expression is still for the most part unclear. Here, we use a high-throughput, sequencing-based, structure-mapping approach in conjunction with transcriptome-wide sequencing of polyA+-selected (RNA-seq), small (smRNA-seq), and ribosome-bound (ribo-seq) RNA populations to investigate the impact of RNA secondary structure on gene expression regulation in Arabidopsis. From this analysis, we find that highly unpaired and paired RNAs are strongly correlated with euchromatic and heterochromatic epigenetic histone modifications, respectively, providing further evidence that secondary structure is necessary for RNA-mediated posttranscriptional regulatory pathways. Additionally, we uncover key structural patterns across protein-coding transcripts that indicate RNA folding demarcates regions of protein translation and likely affects microRNA-mediated regulation of mRNAs in this model plant. We also reveal that RNA folding is significantly anti-correlated with overall transcript abundance, which is likely due to the increased propensity of highly structured mRNAs to be degraded and/or processed into smRNAs. Finally, we find that secondary structure affects mRNA translation, suggesting that this feature regulates plant gene expression at multiple levels. Overall, our findings provide the first global assessment of RNA folding and its significant regulatory effects in a plant transcriptome. Single-stranded RNA sequencing (ssRNA-seq) and ribosome-bound RNA sequencing (ribo-seq) in immature buds. A single replicate of each library.
