Difference in gene expression between WT (Col-0) and atxrn4-3 mutant under non-stress and heat stress condition

ABSTRACT: Arabidopsis 5’-3’ exoribonuclease, AtXRN4, a homolog of yeast Xrn1p, functions in degradation of uncapped RNAs after de-capping step. While Xrn1p-dependent on plant XRN4’s targets for degradation is still limited. For understanding biological function of AtXRN4, we tested survivability of atxrn4 mutants under heat stress. Our results showed that atxrn4 mutants increased survival rate under short-term degradation is a main mRNA decay in yeast, knowledge heat stress compared with WT plants. Our microarray and mRNA decay assay showed that loss of AtXRN4 function caused reduction of mRNA degradation of heat shock factor A2 (HSFA2) and ethylene response factor 1 (ERF1). HSFA2 has been known as a key regulator in heat acclimation, was found as a target for AtXRN4 for degradation at non-stress condition. Heat stress applied on atxrn4-3 hsfa2 double mutant severely lacked heat tolerance phenotype of atxrn4 mutant. These results suggest that AtXRN4-mediated mRNA degradation linked to suppress heat acclimation. In the study here, 2 week-old WT and atxrn4-3 mutant plants were exposure to non-stress (22oC) and heat-stress (37oC, 1 h). Custom microarray was applied to acquire expression profile of 32788 Arabidopsis genes. 3 biological repeats of WT (non-stress), WT(heat stress), atxrn4-3 (non-stress) and atxrn4-3 (heat stress) were used for microarray analysis

mRNA degradation plays an important role in the rapid and dynamic alteration of gene expression in response to environmental stimuli. Arabidopsis 5'-3' exoribonuclease (AtXRN4), a homolog of yeast Xrn1p, functions after a de-capping step in the degradation of uncapped RNAs. While Xrn1p-dependent degradation of mRNA is the main process of mRNA decay in yeast, information pertaining to the targets of XRN4-based degradation in plants is limited. In order to better understand the biological function ...[more]

Project description:The expression of heat-shock proteins (Hsps) induced by a non-lethal heat treatment confers acquired thermotolerance (AT) to organisms against a subsequent challenge of otherwise lethal temperature. After stress signal lifted, AT gradually decayed with the decline of Hsps during recovery period. The duration of AT may be critical for sessile organisms, such as plants, to survive repeated heat stress in the environment. To identify heat-induced genes involved in duration of AT, we took a reverse-genetics approach by screening for Arabidopsis T-DNA insertion mutants that show decreased thermotolerance after a long recovery at non-stress condition following a conditioning treatment. Among the tested mutants corresponding to 47 genes, only the HsfA2 knockout mutant showed significant phenotype. The mutant plants were more sensitive to severe heat stress than the wild type after long but not short recovery following a pretreatment at 37oC, which can be complemented by introducing a wild-type copy of the gene. Quantitative hypocotyl elongation assay also revealed that AT decayed faster in the absence of HsfA2. Significant decline of the transcript levels of several highly heat-induced genes was observed in the HsfA2 knockout plants after a 4-h recovery or after 2 h of prolonged heat stress. Immunoblot anlysis showed that Hsa32 and class I small Hsp were lower in the mutant than in the wild type after a long recovery. Our results suggest that HsfA2 as a heat-induced transactivator sustains the post-stress expression of Hsp genes and extends the duration of AT in Arabidopsis. Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA was isolated from the seedlings of 5-d old wild-type and HsfA2 knockout mutant seedlings (a pool of about 100 plants per treatment in duplicates) harvested immediately after heat shock treatment. In this experiment, total 12 chips were used, 1 each for 2 biological replicates of the control and HS-treated samples for the wild type and mutant plants.
