Sequencing, genome analysis and prevalence of a cytorhabdovirus discovered in Carica papaya.

ABSTRACT: The complete genome of a new rhabdovirus infecting papaya (Carica papaya L.) in Ecuador, named papaya virus E, was sequenced and characterized. The negative-sense single-stranded RNA genome consists of 13,469 nucleotides with six canonical open reading frames (ORFs) and two accessory short ORFs predicted between ORFs corresponding to P3 (movement protein) and M (matrix protein). Phylogenetic analyses using amino acid sequences from the nucleocapsid, glycoprotein and polymerase, grouped the virus with members of the genus Cytorhabdovirus, with rice stripe mosaic virus, yerba mate chlorosis-associated virus and Colocasia bobone disease-associated virus as closest relatives. The 3' leader and 5' trailer sequences were 144 and 167 nt long, respectively, containing partially complementary motifs. The motif 3'-AUUCUUUUUG-5', conserved across rhabdoviruses, was identified in all but one intergenic regions; whereas the motif 3'-ACAAAAACACA-5' was found in three intergenic junctions. This is the first complete genome sequence of a cytorhabdovirus infecting papaya. The virus was prevalent in commercial plantings of Los Ríos, the most important papaya producing province of Ecuador. Recently, the genome sequence of bean-associated cytorhabdovirus was reported. The genome is 97% identical to that of papaya virus E, indicating that both should be considered strains of the same virus.

Small RNA Solexa sequencing of multiple tissues of papaya, Carica papaya

Project description:The tissues of male flowers, female flowers and hermaphrodite are collected and stored in liquid nitrigen immediately. Total RNA was isolated from male, hermaphrodite, and female flowers using the Trizol reagent (Invitrogen USA). Low molecular weight RNA was enriched from the total RNA by precipitating with 0.4M NaCl and polyethylene glycol (PEG). The enriched low molecular weight RNA was then separated on a denaturing 15% polyacrylamide gel. The band corresponding to the RNA standard of 18-30 nucleotides was then excised from the gel and eluted overnight in 0.4M NaCl at 4 degrees Celsius, and subsequently ligated with 5’ and 3’ Illumina small RNA adapters. The adapter ligated library was converted into cDNA and amplified by using PCR and sequenced by Illumina Genome Analyzer II.

Genome-wide analysis of basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors in papaya (<i>Carica papaya</i> L.).

Project description:The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors (TFs) have been identified and functionally characterized in many plants. However, no comprehensive analysis of the bHLH family in papaya (Carica papaya L.) has been reported previously. Here, a total of 73 CpbHLHs were identified in papaya, and these genes were classified into 18 subfamilies based on phylogenetic analysis. Almost all of the CpbHLHs in the same subfamily shared similar gene structures and protein motifs according to analysis of exon/intron organizations and motif compositions. The number of exons in CpbHLHs varied from one to 10 with an average of five. The amino acid sequences of the bHLH domains were quite conservative, especially Leu-27 and Leu-63. Promoter cis-element analysis revealed that most of the CpbHLHs contained cis-elements that can respond to various biotic/abiotic stress-related events. Gene ontology (GO) analysis revealed that CpbHLHs mainly functions in protein dimerization activity and DNA-binding, and most CpbHLHs were predicted to localize in the nucleus. Abiotic stress treatment and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) revealed some important candidate CpbHLHs that might be responsible for abiotic stress responses in papaya. These findings would lay a foundation for further investigate of the molecular functions of CpbHLHs.

The draft genome of the transgenic tropical fruit tree papaya (Carica papaya Linnaeus).

Project description:Papaya, a fruit crop cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions, is known for its nutritional benefits and medicinal applications. Here we report a 3x draft genome sequence of 'SunUp' papaya, the first commercial virus-resistant transgenic fruit tree to be sequenced. The papaya genome is three times the size of the Arabidopsis genome, but contains fewer genes, including significantly fewer disease-resistance gene analogues. Comparison of the five sequenced genomes suggests a minimal angiosperm gene set of 13,311. A lack of recent genome duplication, atypical of other angiosperm genomes sequenced so far, may account for the smaller papaya gene number in most functional groups. Nonetheless, striking amplifications in gene number within particular functional groups suggest roles in the evolution of tree-like habit, deposition and remobilization of starch reserves, attraction of seed dispersal agents, and adaptation to tropical daylengths. Transgenesis at three locations is closely associated with chloroplast insertions into the nuclear genome, and with topoisomerase I recognition sites. Papaya offers numerous advantages as a system for fruit-tree functional genomics, and this draft genome sequence provides the foundation for revealing the basis of Carica's distinguishing morpho-physiological, medicinal and nutritional properties.

Digital transcriptome analysis of putative sex-determination genes in papaya (Carica papaya).

Project description:Papaya (Carica papaya) is a trioecious plant species that has male, female and hermaphrodite flowers on different plants. The primitive sex chromosomes genetically determine the sex of the papaya. Although draft sequences of the papaya genome are already available, the genes for sex determination have not been identified, likely due to the complicated structure of its sex-chromosome sequences. To identify the candidate genes for sex determination, we conducted a transcriptome analysis of flower samples from male, female and hermaphrodite plants using high-throughput SuperSAGE for digital gene expression analysis. Among the short sequence tags obtained from the transcripts, 312 unique tags were specifically mapped to the primitive sex chromosome (X or Y(h)) sequences. An annotation analysis revealed that retroelements are the most abundant sequences observed in the genes corresponding to these tags. The majority of tags on the sex chromosomes were located on the X chromosome, and only 30 tags were commonly mapped to both the X and Y(h) chromosome, implying a loss of many genes on the Y(h) chromosome. Nevertheless, candidate Y(h) chromosome-specific female determination genes, including a MADS-box gene, were identified. Information on these sex chromosome-specific expressed genes will help elucidating sex determination in the papaya.

High-throughput sequencing of small RNAs in Carica papaya

Project description:Small RNAs (21-24 nt) are pivotal regulators of gene expression that guide both transcriptional and post-transcriptional silencing mechanisms in diverse eukaryotes, including most if not all plants. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) and short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are the two major types, both of which have a demonstrated and important role in plant development, stress responses and pathogen resistance. In this work, we used a deep sequencing approach (Sequencing-By-Synthesis, or SBS) to develop sequence resources of small RNAs from different Carica papaya tissues (including leaves and flowers). The high depth of the resulting datasets enabled us to examine in detail critical small RNA features, such as size distribution, tissue-specific regulation and sequence conservation between different organs in this species. We also developed database resources and a dedicated website (http://smallrna.udel.edu/) with computational tools for allowing other users to identify new miRNAs or siRNAs involved in specific regulatory pathways, verify the degree of conservation of these sequences in other plant species and map small RNAs on genes or larger regions of the maize genome under study. Small RNA libraries were derived from leaves, virus-infected leaves and female flowers of Carica papaya. Total RNA was isolated using the TriReagent (Molecular Research Center) and submitted to Illumina (Hayward, CA, http://www.illumina.com) for small RNA library construction using approaches described in (Lu et al., 2007) with minor modifications. The small RNA libraries were sequenced with the Sequencing-By-Synthesis (SBS) technology by Illumina. PERL scripts were designed to remove the adapter sequences and determine the abundance of each distinct small RNA. We thank Ray Ming and Qingyi Yu for providing the plant material, as well as Kan Nobuta and Gayathri Mahalingam for assistance with the computational methods.

Genome-wide analysis and characterization of Aux/IAA family genes related to fruit ripening in papaya (Carica papaya L.).

Project description:BackgroundAuxin/indole-3-acetic acid (Aux/IAA) family genes encode short-lived nuclear proteins that mediate the responses of auxin-related genes and are involved in several plant developmental and growth processes. However, how Aux/IAA genes function in the fruit development and ripening of papaya (Carica papaya L.) is largely unknown.ResultsIn this study, a comprehensive identification and a distinctive expression analysis of 18 C. papaya Aux/IAA (CpIAA) genes were performed using newly updated papaya reference genome data. The Aux/IAA gene family in papaya is slightly smaller than that in Arabidopsis, but all of the phylogenetic subfamilies are represented. Most of the CpIAA genes are responsive to various phytohormones and expressed in a tissues-specific manner. To understand the putative biological functions of the CpIAA genes involved in fruit development and ripening, quantitative real-time PCR was used to test the expression profiling of CpIAA genes at different stages. Furthermore, an IAA treatment significantly delayed the ripening process in papaya fruit at the early stages. The expression changes of CpIAA genes in ACC and 1-MCP treatments suggested a crosstalk between auxin and ethylene during the fruit ripening process of papaya.ConclusionsOur study provided comprehensive information on the Aux/IAA family in papaya, including gene structures, phylogenetic relationships and expression profiles. The involvement of CpIAA gene expression changes in fruit development and ripening gives us an opportunity to understand the roles of auxin signaling in the maturation of papaya reproductive organs.

Small RNA sequencing and identification of papaya (Carica papaya L.) miRNAs with potential cross-kingdom human gene targets.

Project description:Several studies have demonstrated potential role of plant-derived miRNAs in cross-kingdom species relationships by transferring into non-plant host cells to regulate certain host cellular functions. How nutrient-rich plants regulate host cellular functions, which in turn alleviate physiological and disease conditions in the host remains to be explored in detail. This computational study explores the potential targets, putative role, and functional implications of miRNAs derived from Carica papaya L., one of the most cultivated tropical crops in the world and a rich source of phytochemicals and enzymes, in human diet. Using the next-generation sequencing, -Illumina HiSeq2500, ~ 30 million small RNA sequence reads were generated from C. papaya young leaves, resulting in the identification of a total of 1798 known and 49 novel miRNAs. Selected novel C. papaya miRNAs were predicted to regulate certain human targets, and subsequent annotation of gene functions indicated a probable role in various biological processes and pathways, such as MAPK, WNT, and GPCR signaling pathways, and platelet activation. These presumptive target gene in humans were predominantly linked to various diseases, including cancer, diabetes, mental illness, and platelet disorder. The computational finding of this study provides insights into how C. papaya-derived miRNAs may regulate certain conditions of human disease and provide a new perspective on human health. However, the therapeutic potential of C. papaya miRNA can be further explored through experimental studies.
