Highly Efficient and Comprehensive Identification of Ethyl Methanesulfonate-Induced Mutations in Nicotiana tabacum L. by Whole-Genome and Whole-Exome Sequencing.

ABSTRACT: Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) is a complex allotetraploid species with a large 4.5-Gb genome that carries duplicated gene copies. In this study, we describe the development of a whole-exome sequencing (WES) procedure in tobacco and its application to characterize a test population of ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS)-induced mutations. A probe set covering 50.3-Mb protein coding regions was designed from a reference tobacco genome. The EMS-induced mutations in 19 individual M₂ lines were analyzed using our mutation analysis pipeline optimized to minimize false positives/negatives. In the target regions, the on-target rate of WES was approximately 75%, and 61,146 mutations were detected in the 19 M₂ lines. Most of the mutations (98.8%) were single nucleotide variants, and 95.6% of them were C/G to T/A transitions. The number of mutations detected in the target coding sequences by WES was 93.5% of the mutations detected by whole-genome sequencing (WGS). The amount of sequencing data necessary for efficient mutation detection was significantly lower in WES (11.2 Gb), which is only 6.2% of the required amount in WGS (180 Gb). Thus, WES was almost comparable to WGS in performance but is more cost effective. Therefore, the developed target exome sequencing, which could become a fundamental tool in high-throughput mutation identification, renders the genome-wide analysis of tobacco highly efficient.

artMAP: A user-friendly tool for mapping ethyl methanesulfonate-induced mutations in Arabidopsis.

Project description:Mapping-by-sequencing is a rapid method for identifying both natural as well as induced variations in the genome. However, it requires extensive bioinformatics expertise along with the computational infrastructure to analyze the sequencing data and these requirements have limited its widespread adoption. In the current study, we develop an easy to use tool, artMAP, to discover ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) induced mutations in the Arabidopsis genome. The artMAP pipeline consists of well-established tools including TrimGalore, BWA, BEDTools, SAMtools, and SnpEff which were integrated in a Docker container. artMAP provides a graphical user interface and can be run on a regular laptop and desktop, thereby limiting the bioinformatics expertise required. artMAP can process input sequencing files generated from single or paired-end sequencing. The results of the analysis are presented in interactive graphs which display the annotation details of each mutation. Due to its ease of use, artMAP makes the identification of EMS-induced mutations in Arabidopsis possible with only a few mouse click. The source code of artMAP is available on Github (https://github.com/RihaLab/artMAP).

First comprehensive proteome analysis of lysine crotonylation in seedling leaves of Nicotiana tabacum.

Project description:Histone crotonylation is a new lysine acylation type of post-translational modification (PTM) enriched at active gene promoters and potential enhancers in yeast and mammalian cells. However, lysine crotonylation in nonhistone proteins and plant cells has not yet been studied. In the present study, we performed a global crotonylation proteome analysis of Nicotiana tabacum (tobacco) using high-resolution LC-MS/MS coupled with highly sensitive immune-affinity purification. A total of 2044 lysine modification sites distributed on 637 proteins were identified, representing the most abundant lysine acylation proteome reported in the plant kingdom. Similar to lysine acetylation and succinylation in plants, lysine crotonylation was related to multiple metabolism pathways, such as carbon metabolism, the citrate cycle, glycolysis, and the biosynthesis of amino acids. Importantly, 72 proteins participated in multiple processes of photosynthesis, and most of the enzymes involved in chlorophyll synthesis were modified through crotonylation. Numerous crotonylated proteins were implicated in the biosynthesis, folding, and degradation of proteins through the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Several crotonylated proteins related to chromatin organization are also discussed here. These data represent the first report of a global crotonylation proteome and provide a promising starting point for further functional research of crotonylation in nonhistone proteins.

Efficient gene targeting in Nicotiana tabacum using CRISPR/SaCas9 and temperature tolerant LbCas12a.

Project description:Nicotiana tabacum is a non-food herb that has the potential to be utilized as bio-factory for generating medicines, vaccines or valuable small metabolites. To achieve these goals, the improvement of genetic tools for pre-designed genome modifications is indispensable. The development of CRISPR/Cas nucleases allows the induction of site-specific double-strand breaks to enhance homologous recombination-mediated gene targeting (GT). However, the efficiency of GT is still a challenging obstacle for many crops including tobacco. Recently, studies in several plant species indicated that by replacing SpCas9 with other CRISPR/Cas-based nucleases, GT efficiencies might be enhanced considerably. Therefore, we tested SaCas9 as well as a temperature-insensitive version of LbCas12a (ttLbCas12a) for targeting the tobacco SuRB gene. At the same time, we also optimized the protocol for Agrobacterium-mediated tobacco transformation and tissue culture. In this way, we could improve GT efficiencies to up to a third of the inoculated cotyledons when using ttLbCas12a, which outperformed SaCas9 considerably. In addition, we could show that the conversion tract length of the GT reaction can be up to 606 bp long and in the majority of cases, it is longer than 250 bp. We obtained multiple heritable GT events, mostly heterozygous, but also biallelic GT events and some without T-DNA integration. Thus, we were not only able to obtain CRISPR/Cas-based heritable GT events in allotetraploid Nicotiana tabacum for the first time, but our results also indicate that ttLbCas12a might be a superior alternative for gene editing and GT in tobacco as well as in other crops.

PCR-free whole exome sequencing: Cost-effective and efficient in detecting rare mutations.

Project description:In this study, we describe the development of a PCR-free whole exome sequencing method. Using this method, 2 μg DNA was sufficient for library preparation for whole exome sequencing. Furthermore, the method is simple and makes use of a commercial kit, with additional step of concentrating the captured library by ethanol precipitation. The accuracy of the PCR-free method was found to be equivalent to that of unique molecular identifier-corrected analysis method, which is the commonly used method to detect rare mutations. Thus, the PCR-free whole exome sequencing method is cost-effective as well as efficient in detecting rare mutations.

Coproporphyrinogenase in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.).

Project description:1. Coproporphyrinogenase was extracted and purified from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.). Enzyme activity was mainly located in mitochondria rather than in chloroplasts. The enzyme was purified by differential centrifugation, ammonium sulphate fractionation, calcium phosphate gel adsorption and dialysis. A 69-fold final purification was obtained. 2. An apparent K(m) value of 3.6x10(-5)m was found, the value being largely dependent on the amount of coproporphyrin III recovered after reduction with sodium amalgam to coproporphyrinogen III. Protoporphyrin formation was linear up to 3h and decreased with further incubation. The enzyme activity increased with the concentration of enzyme protein up to 30mug/ml of solution. 3. Enzyme activity was greatly enhanced by increasing Fe(2+) concentrations up to 0.5mm, beyond which inhibition occurred. Co(2+) and Mn(2+) were also found to activate at low concentrations (0.1mm) and inhibit at higher concentrations (5mm). Fe(3+) and Cu(2+), both at 0.1mm, and o-phenanthroline and EDTA, each at 1mm, were found to be inhibitory.

Comprehensive Proteomic Analysis of Lysine Ubiquitination in Seedling Leaves of <i>Nicotiana tabacum</i>.

Project description:Lysine ubiquitination, a widely studied posttranslational modification, plays vital roles in various biological processes in eukaryotic cells. Although several studies have examined the plant ubiquitylome, no such research has been performed in tobacco, a model plant for molecular biology. Here, we comprehensively analyzed lysine ubiquitination in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) using LC-MS/MS along with highly sensitive immune-affinity purification. In total, 964 lysine-ubiquitinated (Kub) sites were identified in 572 proteins. Extensive bioinformatics studies revealed the distribution of these proteins in various cellular locations, including the cytoplasm, chloroplast, nucleus, and plasma membrane. Notably, 25% of the Kub proteins were located in the chloroplast of which 21 were enzymatically involved in important pathways, that is, photosynthesis and carbon fixation. Western blot analysis indicated that TMV infection can cause changes in ubiquitination levels. This is the first comprehensive proteomic analysis of lysine ubiquitination in tobacco, illustrating the vital role of ubiquitination in various physiological and biochemical processes and representing a valuable addition to the existing landscape of lysine ubiquitination.

Genome-wide survey of artificial mutations induced by ethyl methanesulfonate and gamma rays in tomato.

Project description:Genome-wide mutations induced by ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) and gamma irradiation in the tomato Micro-Tom genome were identified by a whole-genome shotgun sequencing analysis to estimate the spectrum and distribution of whole-genome DNA mutations and the frequency of deleterious mutations. A total of ~370 Gb of paired-end reads for four EMS-induced mutants and three gamma-ray-irradiated lines as well as a wild-type line were obtained by next-generation sequencing technology. Using bioinformatics analyses, we identified 5920 induced single nucleotide variations and insertion/deletion (indel) mutations. The predominant mutations in the EMS mutants were C/G to T/A transitions, while in the gamma-ray mutants, C/G to T/A transitions, A/T to T/A transversions, A/T to G/C transitions and deletion mutations were equally common. Biases in the base composition flanking mutations differed between the mutagenesis types. Regarding the effects of the mutations on gene function, >90% of the mutations were located in intergenic regions, and only 0.2% were deleterious. In addition, we detected 1,140,687 spontaneous single nucleotide polymorphisms and indel polymorphisms in wild-type Micro-Tom lines. We also found copy number variation, deletions and insertions of chromosomal segments in both the mutant and wild-type lines. The results provide helpful information not only for mutation research, but also for mutant screening methodology with reverse-genetic approaches.

Genome-Wide Analysis of Artificial Mutations Induced by Ethyl Methanesulfonate in the Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.).

Project description:Whole-genome sequences of four EMS (ethyl methanesulfonate)-induced eggplant mutants were analyzed to identify genome-wide mutations. In total, 173.01 GB of paired-end reads were obtained for four EMS-induced mutants and (WT) wild type and 1,076,010 SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) and 183,421 indels were identified. The most common mutation type was C/G to T/A transitions followed by A/T to G/C transitions. The mean densities were one SNP per 1.3 to 2.6 Mb. The effect of mutations on gene function was annotated and only 7.2% were determined to be deleterious. KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) pathway analysis showed 10 and 11 genes, which were nonsynonymous mutation or frameshift deletion in 48-5 and L6-5 involved in the anthocyanin biosynthesis or flavone and flavonol biosynthesis. QRT-PCR results showed that only the Sme2.5_06210.1_g00004.1, which was annotated as UFGT (Flavonoid galactosidase transferase), expression significantly decreased in the L6-5 mutant compared with the WT. Also, the Sme2.5_06210.1_g00004.1 expression was lower in the colorless eggplant compared with colorful eggplant in the natural eggplant cultivar. These results suggest that Sme2.5_06210.1_g00004.1 may play a key role in eggplant anthocyanin synthesis.

Scanning the effects of ethyl methanesulfonate on the whole genome of Lotus japonicus using second-generation sequencing analysis.

Project description:Genetic structure can be altered by chemical mutagenesis, which is a common method applied in molecular biology and genetics. Second-generation sequencing provides a platform to reveal base alterations occurring in the whole genome due to mutagenesis. A model legume, Lotus japonicus ecotype Miyakojima, was chemically mutated with alkylating ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) for the scanning of DNA lesions throughout the genome. Using second-generation sequencing, two individually mutated third-generation progeny (M3, named AM and AS) were sequenced and analyzed to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms and reveal the effects of EMS on nucleotide sequences in these mutant genomes. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms were found in every 208 kb (AS) and 202 kb (AM) with a bias mutation of G/C-to-A/T changes at low percentage. Most mutations were intergenic. The mutation spectrum of the genomes was comparable in their individual chromosomes; however, each mutated genome has unique alterations, which are useful to identify causal mutations for their phenotypic changes. The data obtained demonstrate that whole genomic sequencing is applicable as a high-throughput tool to investigate genomic changes due to mutagenesis. The identification of these single-point mutations will facilitate the identification of phenotypically causative mutations in EMS-mutated germplasm.
