PIF7-mediated epigenetic reprogramming promotes the transcriptional response to shade in Arabidopsis

ABSTRACT: For shade-intolerant plants, changes in light quality through competition from neighbours trigger shade avoidance syndrome (SAS): a series of morphological and physiological adaptations that are ultimately detrimental to plant health and crop yield. PYHTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTOR 7 (PIF7) is a major transcriptional regulator of SAS in Arabidopsis; however how it regulates gene expression is not fully understood. Here, we show that PIF7 directly interacts with the histone chaperone ANTI-SILENCING FACTOR 1 (ASF1). The ASF1-deprived asf1ab mutant showed defective shade-induced hypocotyl elongation. HISTONE REGULATOR HOMOLOG A (HIRA), which mediates deposition of the H3.3 variant into chromatin, is also involved in SAS. RNA/ChIP-sequencing analyses identified the role of ASF1 in direct regulation of a subset of PIF7 target genes. Furthermore, shade-elicited gene activation is accompanied by H3.3 enrichment, which is mediated by the PIF7-ASF1-HIRA regulatory module. Collectively, our data reveal that PIF7 recruits ASF1-HIRA to increase H3.3 incorporation into chromatin to promote gene transcription, thus enabling plants to effectively respond to environmental shade.

PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTOR 7-mediated epigenetic reprogramming promotes the transcriptional response to shade in Arabidopsis

Project description:ChIP-Seq were performed using 35S::GFP-ASF1A, pHTR13::HTR13-HA, pHTR5::HTR5-HA, and pHTR5::HTR5-HA/pif7-1 transgenic plants after white light and 1 hr shade treatment. Two biological replicates were prepared for each genotype of plants grown under light and shade conditions. High-confidence binding peaks with cut off fold change > 1.5 and P-value <0.01. Our data reveal that ASF1 directly regulating a subset of target genes of PIF7. Furthermore, shade-elicited gene activation is accompanied by H3.3 enrichment, which is mediated by the PIF7-ASF1 regulatory module.

Epigenetic reprogramming orchestrates transcriptional responses in shade avoidance syndrome of Arabidopsis

Project description:For shade-intolerant plants, changes in light quality indicative of competition from neighboring plants trigger shade avoidance syndrome (SAS). PYHTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTOR 7 is the major transcriptional regulator of SAS in Arabidopsis. However, the epigenetic reprogramming under shade is poorly understood. To identify the histone chaperone ASF1 and HIRA function during SAS, we performed transcriptome deep sequencing (RNA-seq) to search for differentially expressed genes (DEGs) by comparing transcript levels between Col-0 and pif7-1, asf1ab, or hira-1 seedlings during white light and shade conditions. Our data shown that histone chaperone ASF1, through interacting with PIF7 and helping of HIRA, positively regulates shade-induced genes expression.

Long noncoding RNA-mediated epigenetic regulation of auxin-related genes controls shade avoidance syndrome in Arabidopsis

Project description:The long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) AUXIN-REGULATED PROMOTER LOOP (APOLO) recognizes a subset of target loci across the Arabidopsis thaliana genome by forming RNA-DNA hybrids (R-loops) and modulating local three-dimensional chromatin conformation. Here we show that APOLO regulates shade avoidance syndrome by dynamically modulating expression of key factors. In response to far-red (FR) light, expression of APOLO anti-correlates with that of its target BRANCHED1 (BRC1), a master regulator of shoot branching in Arabidopsis thaliana. APOLO deregulation results in BRC1 transcriptional repression and an increase in the number of branches. Accumulation of APOLO transcription fine-tunes the formation of a repressive chromatin loop encompassing the BRC1 promoter, which normally occurs only in leaves and in a late response to far-red light treatment in axillary buds. In addition, our data reveal that APOLO participates in leaf hyponasty, in agreement with its previously reported role in the control of auxin homeostasis through direct modulation of auxin synthesis gene YUCCA2, and auxin efflux genes PID and WAG2. We show that direct application of APOLO RNA to leaves results in a rapid increase in auxin signaling that is associated with changes in the plant response to far-red light. Collectively, our data support the view that lncRNAs coordinate shade avoidance syndrome in A. thaliana, and reveal their potential as exogenous bioactive molecules. Deploying exogenous RNAs that modulate plant-environment interactions may therefore become a new tool for sustainable agriculture.

Shade-induced lncRNA PUAR promotes shade response by repressing PHYA expression

Project description:Shade avoidance syndrome (SAS) commonly occurs in plants experiencing vegetative shade, triggering a series of morphological and physiological changes for the plants to reach more light. A number of positive regulators, such as PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING 7 (PIF7), and negative regulators, such as PHYTOCHROMEs, are known to ensure appropriate SAS. Here, we identify 211 shade-regulated long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in Arabidopsis. We further characterize PUAR (PHYA UTR Antisense RNA), a lncRNA produced from the intron of the 5′ UTR of the PHYTOCHROME A (PHYA) locus. PUAR is induced by shade and promotes shade-induced hypocotyl elongation. PUAR physically associates with PIF7 and represses the shade-mediated induction of PHYA by blocking the binding of PIF7 to the 5′ UTR of PHYA. Our findings highlight a role for lncRNAs in SAS and provide insight into the mechanism of PUAR in regulating PHYA gene expression and SAS.

A quorum-sensing signal promotes host tolerance training through HDAC1-mediated epigenetic reprogramming.

Project description:The mechanisms by which pathogens evade elimination without affecting host fitness are not well understood. For the pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, this evasion appears to be triggered by excretion of the quorum-sensing molecule 2-aminoacetophenone, which dampens host immune responses and modulates host metabolism, thereby enabling the bacteria to persist at a high burden level. Here, we examined how 2-aminoacetophenone trains host tissues to become tolerant to a high bacterial burden, without compromising host fitness. We found that 2-aminoacetophenone regulates histone deacetylase 1 expression and activity, resulting in hypo-acetylation of lysine 18 of histone H3 at pro-inflammatory cytokine loci. Specifically, 2-aminoacetophenone induced reprogramming of immune cells occurs via alterations in histone acetylation of immune cytokines in vivo and in vitro. This host epigenetic reprograming, which was maintained for up to 7 days, dampened host responses to subsequent exposure to 2-aminoacetophenone or other unrelated pathogen-associated molecules. The process was found to involve a distinct molecular mechanism of host chromatin regulation. Inhibition of histone deacetylase 1 prevented the immunomodulatory effects of 2-aminoacetophenone. These observations provide the first mechanistic example of a quorum-sensing molecule regulating a host epigenome to enable tolerance of infection. These insights have enormous potential for developing preventive treatments against bacterial infections.
