An Arabidopsis NAC domain transcriptional activator VND7 negatively regulates VNI2 expression.

ABSTRACT: A NAC domain transcription factor, VND-INTERACTING2 (VNI2) is originally isolated as an interacting protein with another NAC domain transcription factor, VASCULAR-RELATED NAC-DOMAIN7 (VND7), a master regulator of xylem vessel element differentiation. VND7 directly or indirectly induces expression of a number of genes associated with xylem vessel element differentiation, while VNI2 inhibits the transcriptional activation activities of VND7 by forming a protein complex. VNI2 is expressed at an earlier stage of xylem vessel element differentiation than VND7. Here, to investigate whether VND7 also affects VNI2, a transient expression assay was performed. We demonstrated that VND7 downregulated VNI2 expression. Other transcription factors involved in xylem vessel formation did not show the negative regulation of VNI2 expression. Rather, MYB83, a downstream target of VND7, upregulated VNI2 expression. By using the deletion series of the VNI2 promoter, a 400 bp region was identified as being responsible for downregulation by VND7. These data suggested that VND7 and VNI2 mutually regulate each other, and VNI2 expression is both positively and negatively regulated in the transcriptional cascade.

Time-evolving genetic networks reveal a NAC troika that negatively regulates leaf senescence in Arabidopsis.

Project description:Senescence is controlled by time-evolving networks that describe the temporal transition of interactions among senescence regulators. Here, we present time-evolving networks for NAM/ATAF/CUC (NAC) transcription factors in Arabidopsis during leaf aging. The most evident characteristic of these time-dependent networks was a shift from positive to negative regulation among NACs at a presenescent stage. ANAC017, ANAC082, and ANAC090, referred to as a "NAC troika," govern the positive-to-negative regulatory shift. Knockout of the NAC troika accelerated senescence and the induction of other NACs, whereas overexpression of the NAC troika had the opposite effects. Transcriptome and molecular analyses revealed shared suppression of senescence-promoting processes by the NAC troika, including salicylic acid (SA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) responses, but with predominant regulation of SA and ROS responses by ANAC090 and ANAC017, respectively. Our time-evolving networks provide a unique regulatory module of presenescent repressors that direct the timely induction of senescence-promoting processes at the presenescent stage of leaf aging.

Non-TZF Transcriptional Activator AtC3H12 Negatively Affects Seed Germination and Seedling Development in Arabidopsis.

Project description:CCCH zinc finger proteins are a large protein family and are classified as either tandem CCCH zinc finger (TZF) or non-TZF proteins. The roles of TZF genes in several plants have been well determined, whereas the functions of many non-TZF genes in plants remain uncharacterized. Herein, we describe biological and molecular functions of AtC3H12, an Arabidopsis non-TZF protein containing three CCCH zinc finger motifs. AtC3H12 has orthologs in several plant species but has no paralog in Arabidopsis. AtC3H12-overexpressing transgenic plants (OXs) germinated slower than wild-type (WT) plants, whereas atc3h12 mutants germinated faster than WT plants. The fresh weight (FW) and primary root lengths of AtC3H12 OX seedlings were lighter and shorter than those of WT seedlings, respectively. In contrast, FW and primary root lengths of atc3h12 seedlings were heavier and longer than those of WT seedlings, respectively. AtC3H12 was localized in the nucleus and displayed transactivation activity in both yeast and Arabidopsis. We found that the 97-197 aa region of AtC3H12 is an important part for its transactivation activity. Detection of expression levels and analysis of Arabidopsis transgenic plants harboring a PAtC3H12::GUS construct showed that AtC3H12 expression increases as the Arabidopsis seedlings develop. Taken together, our results demonstrate that AtC3H12 negatively affects seed germination and seedling development as a nuclear transcriptional activator in Arabidopsis. To our knowledge, this is the first report to show that non-TZF proteins negatively affect plant development as nuclear transcriptional activators.

An NAC domain transcription factor ATAF2 acts as transcriptional activator or repressor dependent on promoter context.

Project description:The ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA ACTIVATION FACTOR 2 (ATAF2) protein has been demonstrated to be involved in various biological processes including biotic stress responses, photo morphogenesis, and auxin catabolism. However, the transcriptional function of ATAF2 currently remains elusive. Therefore, to further understand the molecular function of ATAF2, we evaluated the transcriptional activities of ATAF2 using a transient assay system in this study. We used an effector consisting of a GAL4-DNA binding domain (GAL4-BD) fused to ATAF2, and observed upregulated reporter gene expression, suggesting that ATAF2 potentially has transcriptional activation activity. ATAF2 has been shown to activate reporter gene expression under the control of the ORE1 promoter. By contrast, ATAF2 significantly repressed reporter gene expression driven by the NIT2 promoter. These data suggest that ATAF2 is a bifunctional transcription factor that can alter target gene expression depending on the promoter sequences.

Tartary Buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum) NAC Transcription Factors FtNAC16 Negatively Regulates of Pod Cracking and Salinity Tolerant in Arabidopsis.

Project description:The thick and hard fruit shell of Fagopyrum tataricum (F. tataricum) represents a processing bottleneck. At the same time, soil salinization is one of the main problems faced by modern agricultural production. Bioinformatic analysis indicated that the F. tataricum transcription factor FtNAC16 could regulate the hull cracking of F. tataricum, and the function of this transcription factor was verified by genetic transformation of Arabidopsis thaliana (A. thaliana). Phenotypic observations of the wild-type (WT), OE-FtNAC16, nst1/3 and nst1/3-FtNAC16 plant lines confirmed that FtNAC16 negatively regulated pod cracking by downregulating lignin synthesis. Under salt stress, several physiological indicators (POD, GSH, Pro and MDA) were measured, A. thaliana leaves were stained with NBT (Nitroblue Tetrazolium) and DAB (3,3'-diaminobenzidine), and all genes encoding enzymes in the lignin synthesis pathway were analyzed. These experiments confirmed that FtNAC16 increased plant sensitivity by reducing the lignin content or changing the proportions of the lignin monomer. The results of this study may help to elucidate the possible association between changes in lignin monomer synthesis and salt stress and may also contribute to fully understanding the effects of FtNAC16 on plant growth and development, particularly regarding fruit pod cracking and environmental adaptability. In future studies, it may be useful to obtain suitable cracking varieties and salt-tolerant crops through molecular breeding.

Ventx1.1 competes with a transcriptional activator Xcad2 to regulate negatively its own expression.

Project description:Dorsoventral patterning of body axis in vertebrate embryo is tightly controlled by a complex regulatory network of transcription factors. Ventx1.1 is known as a transcriptional repressor to inhibit dorsal mesoderm formation and neural differentiation in Xenopus. In an attempt to identify, using chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-Seq, genome-wide binding pattern of Ventx1.1 in Xenopus gastrulae, we observed that Ventx1.1 associates with its own 5'-flanking sequence. In this study, we present evidence that Ventx1.1 binds a cis-acting Ventx1.1 response element (VRE) in its own promoter, leading to repression of its own transcription. Site-directed mutagenesis of the VRE in the Ventx1.1 promoter significantly abrogated this inhibitory autoregulation of Ventx1.1 transcription. Notably, Ventx1.1 and Xcad2, an activator of Ventx1.1 transcription, competitively co-occupied the VRE in the Ventx1.1 promoter. In support of this, mutation of the VRE down-regulated basal and Xcad2-induced levels of Ventx1.1 promoter activity. In addition, overexpression of Ventx1.1 prevented Xcad2 from binding to the Ventx1.1 promoter, and vice versa. Taken together, these results suggest that Ventx1.1 negatively regulates its own transcription in competition with Xcad2, thereby fine-tuning its own expression levels during dorsoventral patterning of Xenopus early embryo.

Overexpression of BoNAC019, a NAC transcription factor from Brassica oleracea, negatively regulates the dehydration response and anthocyanin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis.

Project description:NACs are one of the largest transcription factor families in plants and are involved in the response to abiotic stress. BoNAC019, a homologue of AtNAC019, was isolated from cabbage (Brassica oleracea). BoNAC019 was localized in the nucleus and functioned as a transcriptional activator. The expression of BoNAC019 was induced by dehydration, salt, abscisic acid (ABA), and H2O2 treatments. BoNAC019 overexpressing plants were generated to explore the function of BoNAC019 in response to drought stress. Overexpression (OE) of BoNAC019 reduced drought tolerance with lower survival rate, higher water loss rate, lower proline content and ABA content. The seed germination and root length assays of BoNAC019-OE plants showed decreased sensitivity to ABA. Under drought condition, antioxidant enzymes and anthocyanin content decreased in BoNAC019 -OE plants, resulting in the accumulation of more reactive oxygen species (ROS), which cause damage to plants. Several stress-responsive genes, antioxidant enzymatic genes, anthocyanin biosynthetic genes and ABA signaling genes were down-regulated under drought condition while the ABA catabolism genes were induced in BoNAC019-OE plants under both normal and drought conditions. Our results demonstrated that BoNAC019 might participated in regulating drought tolerance by inducing ABA catabolism genes and decreasing ABA content.

OsNAC103, an NAC transcription factor negatively regulates plant height in rice.

Project description:Main conclusionOsNAC103 negatively regulates rice plant height by influencing the cell cycle and crosstalk of phytohormones. Plant height is an important characteristic of rice farming and is directly related to agricultural yield. Although there has been great progress in research on plant growth regulation, numerous genes remain to be elucidated. NAC transcription factors are widespread in plants and have a vital function in plant growth. Here, we observed that the overexpression of OsNAC103 resulted in a dwarf phenotype, whereas RNA interference (RNAi) plants and osnac103 mutants showed no significant difference. Further investigation revealed that the cell length did not change, indicating that the dwarfing of plants was caused by a decrease in cell number due to cell cycle arrest. The content of the bioactive cytokinin N6-Δ2-isopentenyladenine (iP) decreased as a result of the cytokinin synthesis gene being downregulated and the enhanced degradation of cytokinin oxidase. OsNAC103 overexpression also inhibited cell cycle progression and regulated the activity of the cell cyclin OsCYCP2;1 to arrest the cell cycle. We propose that OsNAC103 may further influence rice development and gibberellin-cytokinin crosstalk by regulating the Oryza sativa homeobox 71 (OSH71). Collectively, these results offer novel perspectives on the role of OsNAC103 in controlling plant architecture.

HMGA1 negatively regulates NUMB expression at transcriptional and post transcriptional level in glioblastoma stem cells.

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) is a lethal, fast-growing brain cancer, affecting 2-3 per 100,000 adults per year. It arises from multipotent neural stem cells which have reduced their ability to divide asymmetrically and hence divide symmetrically, generating increasing number of cancer stem cells, fostering tumor growth. We have previously demonstrated that the architectural transcription factor HMGA1 is highly expressed in brain tumor stem cells (BTSCs) and that its silencing increases stem cell quiescence, reduces self-renewal and sphere-forming efficiency in serial passages, suggesting a shift from symmetric to asymmetric division. Since NUMB expression is fundamental for the fulfillment of asymmetric division in stem cells, and is lost or reduced in many tumors, including GBM, we have investigated the ability of HMGA1 to regulate NUMB expression. Here, we show that HMGA1 negatively regulates NUMB expression at transcriptional level, by binding its promoter and counteracting c/EBP-β and at posttranscriptional level, by regulating the expression of MSI1 and of miR-146a. Finally, we report that HMGA1 knockdown-induced NUMB upregulation leads to the downregulation of the NOTCH1 pathway. Therefore, the data reported here indicate that HMGA1 negatively regulates NUMB expression in BTSCs, further supporting HMGA1 targeting as innovative and effective anti-cancer therapy.

Arabidopsis STO/BBX24 negatively regulates UV-B signaling by interacting with COP1 and repressing HY5 transcriptional activity.

Project description:UV-B (280-315 nm) is an integral part of solar radiation and can act either as a stress inducer or as a developmental signal. In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to the low-fluence UV-B-induced photomorphogenic response and several key players in this response have been identified, which include UVR8 (a UV-B-specific photoreceptor), COP1 (a WD40-repeat-containing RING finger protein), HY5 (a basic zipper transcription factor), and RUP1/2 (two UVR8-interacting proteins). Here we report that Arabidopsis SALT TOLERANCE (STO/BBX24), a known regulator for light signaling in plants, defines a new signaling component in UV-B-mediated photomorphogenesis. The bbx24 mutant is hypersensitive to UV-B radiation and becomes extremely dwarfed under UV-B treatment. By contrast, BBX24 overexpression transgenic lines respond much more weakly to UV-B than the bbx24 and wild-type plants. BBX24 expression is UV-B-inducible and its accumulation under UV-B requires COP1. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments indicate that BBX24 interacts with COP1 in planta upon UV-B illumination. Moreover, BBX24 interacts with HY5 and acts antagonistically with HY5 in UV-B-induced inhibition of hypocotyl elongation. Furthermore, BBX24 attenuates UV-B-induced HY5 accumulation and suppresses its transcription-activation activity. Taken together, our results reveal a previously uncharacterized function of the light-regulated BBX24 in UV-B responses and demonstrate that BBX24 functions as a negative regulator of photomorphogenic UV-B responses by interacting with both COP1 and HY5. The UV-B-inducible expression pattern and its suppression of HY5 activity suggest that BBX24 could be a new component of the feedback regulatory module of UV-B signaling in plants.

VDAC1 Negatively Regulates Floral Transition in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:Voltage-dependent anion channels (VDACs) are the most important proteins in mitochondria. They localize to the outer mitochondrial membrane and contribute to the metabolite transport between the mitochondria and cytoplasm, which aids plant growth regulation. Here, we report that Arabidopsis thaliana VDAC1 is involved in the floral transition, with the loss of AtVDAC1 function, resulting in an early-flowering phenotype. AtVDAC1 is expressed ubiquitously in Arabidopsis. To identify the flowering pathway integrators that may be responsible for AtVDAC1's function during the floral transition, an RNA-seq analysis was performed. In total, 106 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified between wild-type and atvdac1-5 mutant seedlings. However, none were involved in flowering-related pathways. In contrast, AtVDAC1 physically associated with FLOWERING LOCUS T. Thus, in the floral transition, AtVDAC1 may function partly through the FLOWERING LOCUS T protein.
