Project description:A glucocorticoid-regulated BBM protein (35S:BBM-GR) was used in combination with microarray analysis to identify genes directly activated by BBM. We employed the system described by (Lloyd et al., 1994) in which dexamethasone (DEX) and cycloheximide (CHX) are applied together to respectively, induce nuclear localization of the BBM-GR protein and prevent translation of the primary targets mRNAs. In this way it is possible to identify direct targets of a transcriptional activator by comparing gene expression profiles between DEX+CHX-treated transgenic and wild-type tissues. The ability of the 35S:BBM GR construct to induce somatic embryogenesis in Arabidopsis seedlings was determined by phenotypic observation of 35S:BBM GR seeds germinated and grown in the presence of 10 µM dexamethasone (DEX). As in 35S:BBM seedlings, we observed somatic embryo formation on the cotyledons, first leaves and shoot meristem of DEX-treated 35S:BBM GR seedlings. We identified a set of 20 genes (including BBM itself) and our analysis indicates that BBM directly activates a signaling pathway comprising transcription factors and other signaling molecules, but which does not initially include genes known to induce somatic embryogenesis, such as LEC1, LEC2 or WUS. The functions of the BBM target genes are unknown, however a number of them have recently been identified in microarray screens for meristem-expressed genes. The identification of BBM-interacting partners and downstream targets provides new tools for unraveling pathways related to plant cell growth and organogenesis. Keywords: transcriptional activation To identify candidate BBM targets, we treated 4 day old 35S:BBM-GR seedlings for 8 hours with 10 µM DEX in the presence of 10 µM CHX and compared the mRNA population from these seedlings using Arabidopsis Operon microarrays (http://www.ag.arizona.edu/microarray/) to that of 4 day old wild-type seedlings treated in the same way. The seed batches used in this analysis showed 100% EFS when grown continuously on media with 10 µM DEX. Four day old seedlings were chosen as the experimental material because they are highly responsive to BBM GR activation and provide sufficient RNA for the microarray experiments. The biological reproducibility of the data was monitored using two independent single locus 35S:BBM GR lines. The technical reproducibility of the data was monitored using two independently DEX + CHX-treated samples from each transgenic line. Dye effects were monitored in a dye-swap experiment using one of the four RNA samples from the two biological replicates

Project description:After fertilization, a plant's life relies on progression through embryogenesis and maintenance of the stem cell niches from which all post-embryonic organs arise. BABY BOOM (BBM) and other members of the AINTEGUMENTA-LIKE (AIL)/PLETHORA (PLT) clade of the AP2-type transcription factor family play important roles controlling these processes in Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis). Development of the plt2/bbm double mutant is blocked at during early embryogenesis (Galinha et al., 2007), and combinations of bbm with plt1 and plt3 lead to short roots as a result of meristem differentiation. In contrast, overexpression of BBM in Arabidopsis seedlings induces the formation of somatic embryos on cotyledons and leaves (Boutilier, 2002), showing that BBM is a key regulator of cell identity and proliferation. Although the functions of BBM and other AIL genes have been well described, the molecular mode of action of these transcription factors has not been well examined (reviewed in Horstman et al., 2013). Our previous study provided the first insight into BBM molecular function by identifying BBM targets through a microarray-based approach (Passarinho, 2008), but only a few BBM targets have been functionally characterized. To obtain a better understanding of BBM function, we identified direct BBM targets using a chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) combined with massively-parallel DNA sequencing (ChIP-seq) approach.

Project description:The AIL transcription factor BABY BOOM (BBM) is required together with the related PLETHORA proteins for embryo and root meristem development and its expression is sufficient to confer pluripotency and totipotency to somatic tissues. We show that BBM and other AIL proteins interact with multiple members of the L1/epidermal-expressed HD-ZIP class IV / HOMEODOMAIN GLABROUS (HDG) transcription factor family. Ectopic overexpression of HDG1, HDG11 and HDG12 genes induces a reduced growth phenotype, and analysis of HDG1 overexpression lines shows that this growth reduction is due to both root and shoot meristem arrest. To understand how HDG1 controls cell proliferation, as well as its functional relationship with BBM, we performed microarray experiments to identify candidate genes that are directly regulated by HDG1, and compared these to the set of genes that are directly regulated by BBM expression.

Somatic embryo tissue was used for the ChIP-seq experiments with the native BBM promoter (pBBM::BBM-YFP), with a line expressing nuclear-localized GFP from the same BBM promoter (pBBM::NLS-GFP) as a negative control. Whole, embryogenic seedlings of the 35S::BBM-GFP line were used for the 35S::BBM-GFP ChIP-seq experiments, with 35S::BBM embryogenic seedlings serving as a negative control. Both experiments were performed once, making a total of 4 samples.

Project description:Global transcriptome patterns were obtained from ATAF1-IOE seedlings at 1 h, 2 h and 5 h after estradiol induction or mock treatment, and from mature ATAF1-IOE leaves at 5 h after estradiol induction or mock treatment. To identify genes rapidly responding to elevated ATAF1 expression estradiol induction experiments were performed on ATAF1-IOE seedlings after 1 h, 2 h and 5 h of ATAF1 induction. In addition, expression profiles were obtained from mature leaves after 5 h of ATAF1 induction.

Project description:Mitochondria play important roles in the plant stress responses and the detoxification of the reactive oxygen species generated in the electron-transport chain. Expression of genes encoding stress-related proteins such as the mitochondrial small heat shock proteins (M-sHSP) is upregulated in response to different abiotic stresses. In Arabidopsis thaliana, three M-sHSPs paralogous genes were identified, although their function under physiological conditions remains elusive. Here, we analyzed the phenotype, proteomic and metabolic profiles of the loss-of-function mutants of M-sHSPs (single, double and triple mutants) during normal plant growth. The triple mutant showed the most prominent altered phenotype at vegetative and reproductive stages without any externally applied stress. They displayed chlorotic leaves, growth arrest and low seed production. Concomitantly, they exhibited increased levels of sugars, free amino acids such as proline, citric and ascorbic acid, among other metabolites. Single and double mutants displayed intermediate phenotype suggesting a redundant function of these proteins. All single, double and triple mutants showed alteration of proteins involved in photosynthesis, mitochondrial metabolism and antioxidant defense compared to the wild-type plants. Overall, depletion of M-sHSPs causes severe impact in fundamental metabolic processes, localized in different cell compartments, leading to alterations in the correct plant growth and development.

Project description:Anti-androgen therapies including the new androgen receptor (AR) antagonist MDV3100 are the first therapeutic approach in treating prostate cancer (PCa). However, tumors frequently become castration resistant through multiple mechanisms including alternative expression of AR splice variants. To identify new inhibitors which block both full-length AR (AR-FL) and constitutively-active truncated AR splice variants (AR-Vs), a library of natural compounds was screened for molecules that could inhibit AR-driven transcription in PCa cells expressing AR-FL or AR-Vs. We identified the small-molecule Ailanthone (AIL) as a potent inhibitor of both AR-FL and AR-Vs. AIL down-regulates both AR itself and its target genes in PCa cell lines as well as orthotopic animal tumors. Moreover，AIL directly binds to the co-chaperone protein p23 and prevents AR’s interaction with HSP90, which results in the disruption of the AR-chaperone complex followed by Ubiquitin/proteasome-mediated degradation of AR as well as other p23 clients including AKT and Cdk4. Meanwhile, overexpression of p23 dose-dependently rescued AIL-mediated cell proliferation inhibition, suggesting that p23 might be a critical target of AIL. Furthermore, treatment of MDV3100-resistant 22RV1 xenografts with AIL reduced tumor volume by 77.5% (2 mg/kg/day AIL, intraperitoneal) and 79.2% (5 mg/kg/day AIL, oral) compared with the control group. Finally, AIL possesses favorable drug-like properties such as good bioavailability (25.7% F), high solubility, lack of CYP inhibition, and low hepatotoxicity, although signs of gastrointestinal toxicity were observed at high doses. In conclusion, AIL overcomes MDV3100 resistance in castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) with excellent absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADME/Tox) properties, thus suggesting that AIL is a potential candidate for the clinical treatment of CRPC.
