SRNA sequencing to study assorted processing of synthetic trans-acting siRNAs and its activity in antiviral resistance

ABSTRACT: The use of syn-tasiRNAs has been proposed as an RNA interference technique alternative to those previously described: hairpin based, virus induced gene silencing or artificial miRNAs. In this study we engineered the TAS1c locus to impair Plum pox virus (PPV) infection by replacing the five native siRNAs with two 210-bp fragments from the CP and the 3´NCR regions of the PPV genome. Deep sequencing analysis of the small RNA species produced by both constructs in planta has shown that phased processing of the syn-tasiRNAs is construct-specific. While in syn-tasiR-CP construct the processing was as predicted 21-nt phased in register with miR173-guided cleavage, the processing of syn-tasiR-3NCR is far from what was expected. A 22-nt species from the miR173-guided cleavage was a guide of two series of phased small RNAs, one of them in an exact 21-nt register, and the other one in a mixed of 21-/22-nt frame. In addition, both constructs produced abundant PPV-derived small RNAs in the absence of miR173 as a consequence of a strong sense PTGS induction. The antiviral effect of both constructs was also evaluated in the presence or absence of miR173 and showed that the impairment of PPV infection was not significantly higher when miR173 was present. The results show that syn-tasiRNAs processing depends on construct-specific factors that should be further studied before the so-called MIGS (miRNA-induced gene silencing) technology can be used reliably. Two samples were analyzed. The control sample has no presence of miR173.

miRNAs target conserved motifs of diverse genes encoding NB-LRRs to trigger trans-acting siRNAs in legumes.

Project description:Trans-acting siRNAs (tasiRNAs) negatively regulate target transcripts and are characterized by siRNAs spaced in 21-nucleotide 'phased' intervals. TasiRNAs have not been extensively described in many plant species. We identified dozens of new miRNAs in Medicago and soybean and confirmed 119 Medicago targets. A search for phased tasiRNA-like small RNAs ('phasiRNAs') found at least 114 Medicago loci, the majority of which were NB-LRR encoding genes. Notably, conserved domains in NB-LRR-encoding RNAs are targeted by several 22-nt miRNA families to trigger phasiRNA production. DCL2 and SGS3 transcripts were also cleaved by these 22-nt miRNAs, generating phased small RNAs, suggesting synchronization between silencing and pathogen defense pathways. A second example of 'two-hit' phasiRNA processing was identified, utilizing miR156-miR172 sites. Our data illustrate a complex tasiRNA-mediated regulatory circuit that potentially modulates plant-microbe interactions. A few miRNA triggers regulate an extremely large gene family by targeting highly conserved protein motif-encoding sequences, representing a new paradigm for miRNA function.

Identification of proteins interacting with extracellularly applied α-syn assemblies, Condition 2 - controls (3/8)

Project description:Fibrillar α-Synuclein (α-Syn) is the principal component of Lewy bodies which are evident in individuals affected by Parkinson disease (PD). This neuropathologic form of α-Syn contributes to PD progression and propagation of exogeneous α-Syn between neurons has been demonstrated. In order to identify proteins interacting with extracellularly applied α-syn assemblies (either oligomeric or fibrillar α -syn) and identify in particular plasma membrane proteins exposed extracellularly, we exposed pure-neuronal cultures to oligomeric and fibrillar α-syn for 10 min, pulled down the complex, and identified the associated proteins using a proteomic-based approach. Using pull-down of whole cell lysates and MS, we have identified proteins interacting with extracellularly applied α-syn in three different conditions. Each condition consisted in three experimental replicates of cells exposed 10 min to α-syn assemblies and the non-treated cells used as controls.
