Genome-Wide Identification and Characterization of HSP90-RAR1-SGT1-Complex Members From Arachis Genomes and Their Responses to Biotic and Abiotic Stresses.

ABSTRACT: The molecular chaperone complex HSP90-RAR1-SGT1 (HRS) plays important roles in both biotic and abiotic stress responses in plants. A previous study showed that wild peanut Arachis diogoi SGT1 (AdSGT1) could enhance disease resistance in transgenic tobacco and peanut. However, no systematic analysis of the HRS complex in Arachis has been conducted to date. In this study, a comprehensive analysis of the HRS complex were performed in Arachis. Nineteen HSP90, two RAR1 and six SGT1 genes were identified from the allotetraploid peanut Arachis hypogaea, a number close to the sum of those from the two wild diploid peanut species Arachis duranensis and Arachis ipaensis. According to phylogenetic and chromosomal location analyses, thirteen orthologous gene pairs from Arachis were identified, all of which except AhHSP90-A8, AhHSP90-B9, AdHSP90-9, and AiHSP90-9 were localized on the syntenic locus, and they shared similar exon-intron structures, conserved motifs and expression patterns. Phylogenetic analysis showed that HSP90 and RAR1 from dicot and monocot plants diverged into different clusters throughout their evolution. Chromosomal location analysis indicated that AdSGT1 (the orthologous gene of AhSGT1-B3 in this study) might provide resistance to leaf late spot disease dependent on the orthologous genes of AhHSP90-B10 and AhRAR1-B in the wild peanut A. diogoi. Several HRS genes exhibited tissue-specific expression patterns, which may reflect the sites where they perform functions. By exploring published RNA-seq data, we found that several HSP90 genes play major roles in both biotic and abiotic stress responses, especially salt and drought responses. Autoactivation assays showed that AhSGT1-B1 could not be used as bait for yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) library screening. AhRAR1 and AhSGT1 could strongly interact with each other and interact with AhHSP90-B8. The present study represents the first systematic analysis of HRS complex genes in Arachis and provides valuable information for functional analyses of HRS complex genes. This study also offers potential stress-resistant genes for peanut improvement.

Project description:Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) possesses critical functions in plant developmental control and defense reactions. The HSP90 gene family has been studied in various plant species. However, the HSP90 gene family in cucumber has not been characterized in detail. In this study, a total of six HSP90 genes were identified from the cucumber genome, which were distributed to five chromosomes. Phylogenetic analysis divided the cucumber HSP90 genes into two groups. The structural characteristics of cucumber HSP90 members in the same group were similar but varied among different groups. Synteny analysis showed that only one cucumber HSP90 gene, Csa1G569290, was conservative, which was not collinear with any HSP90 gene in Arabidopsis and rice. The other five cucumber HSP90 genes were collinear with five Arabidopsis HSP90 genes and six rice HSP90 genes. Only one pair of paralogous genes in the cucumber HSP90 gene family, namely one pair of tandem duplication genes (Csa1G569270/Csa1G569290), was detected. The promoter analysis showed that the promoters of cucumber HSP90 genes contained hormone, stress, and development-related cis-elements. Tissue-specific expression analysis revealed that only one cucumber HSP90 gene Csa3G183950 was highly expressed in tendril but low or not expressed in other tissues, while the other five HSP90 genes were expressed in all tissues. Furthermore, the expression levels of cucumber HSP90 genes were differentially induced by temperature and photoperiod, gibberellin (GA), downy mildew, and powdery mildew stimuli. Two cucumber HSP90 genes, Csa1G569270 and Csa1G569290, were both differentially expressed in response to abiotic and biotic stresses, which means that these two HSP90 genes play important roles in the process of cucumber growth and development. These findings improve our understanding of cucumber HSP90 family genes and provide preliminary information for further studies of cucumber HSP90 gene functions in plant growth and development.

Project description:BackgroundSmall RNAs (19-24 nt) are key regulators of gene expression that guide both transcriptional and post-transcriptional silencing mechanisms in eukaryotes. Current studies have demonstrated that microRNAs (miRNAs) act in several plant pathways associated with tissue proliferation, differentiation, and development and in response to abiotic and biotic stresses. In order to identify new miRNAs in soybean and to verify those that are possibly water deficit and rust-stress regulated, eight libraries of small RNAs were constructed and submitted to Solexa sequencing.ResultsThe libraries were developed from drought-sensitive and tolerant seedlings and rust-susceptible and resistant soybeans with or without stressors. Sequencing the library and subsequent analyses detected 256 miRNAs. From this total, we identified 24 families of novel miRNAs that had not been reported before, six families of conserved miRNAs that exist in other plants species, and 22 families previously reported in soybean. We also observed the presence of several isomiRNAs during our analyses. To validate novel miRNAs, we performed RT-qPCR across the eight different libraries. Among the 11 miRNAs analyzed, all showed different expression profiles during biotic and abiotic stresses to soybean. The majority of miRNAs were up-regulated during water deficit stress in the sensitive plants. However, for the tolerant genotype, most of the miRNAs were down regulated. The pattern of miRNAs expression was also different for the distinct genotypes submitted to the pathogen stress. Most miRNAs were down regulated during the fungus infection in the susceptible genotype; however, in the resistant genotype, most miRNAs did not vary during rust attack. A prediction of the putative targets was carried out for conserved and novel miRNAs families.ConclusionsValidation of our results with quantitative RT-qPCR revealed that Solexa sequencing is a powerful tool for miRNA discovery. The identification of differentially expressed plant miRNAs provides molecular evidence for the possible involvement of miRNAs in the process of water deficit- and rust-stress responses.

Project description:The Hsp20 genes are involved in the response of plants to environment stresses including heat shock and also play a vital role in plant growth and development. They represent the most abundant small heat shock proteins (sHsps) in plants, but little is known about this family in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), an important vegetable crop in the world. Here, we characterized heat shock protein 20 (SlHsp20) gene family in tomato through integration of gene structure, chromosome location, phylogenetic relationship, and expression profile. Using bioinformatics-based methods, we identified at least 42 putative SlHsp20 genes in tomato. Sequence analysis revealed that most of SlHsp20 genes possessed no intron or a relatively short intron in length. Chromosome mapping indicated that inter-arm and intra-chromosome duplication events contributed remarkably to the expansion of SlHsp20 genes. Phylogentic tree of Hsp20 genes from tomato and other plant species revealed that SlHsp20 genes were grouped into 13 subfamilies, indicating that these genes may have a common ancestor that generated diverse subfamilies prior to the mono-dicot split. In addition, expression analysis using RNA-seq in various tissues and developmental stages of cultivated tomato and the wild relative Solanum pimpinellifolium revealed that most of these genes (83%) were expressed in at least one stage from at least one genotype. Out of 42 genes, 4 genes were expressed constitutively in almost all the tissues analyzed, implying that these genes might have specific housekeeping function in tomato cell under normal growth conditions. Two SlHsp20 genes displayed differential expression levels between cultivated tomato and S. pimpinellifolium in vegetative (leaf and root) and reproductive organs (floral bud and flower), suggesting inter-species diversification for functional specialization during the process of domestication. Based on genome-wide microarray analysis, we showed that the transcript levels of SlHsp20 genes could be induced profusely by abiotic and biotic stresses such as heat, drought, salt, Botrytis cinerea, and Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus (TSWV), indicating their potential roles in mediating the response of tomato plants to environment stresses. In conclusion, these results provide valuable information for elucidating the evolutionary relationship of Hsp20 gene family and functional characterization of the SlHsp20 gene family in the future.
