Arabidopsis thaliana AGO1 immunoprecipitated small RNA from Col0 plants transformed with a transgene expressing wild-type or a nuclear localized form of AGO1 fused to GFP.

ABSTRACT: Plant microRNAs undergo stepwise-nuclear maturation before engaging cytosolic sequence-complementary transcripts in association with the silencing-effector protein ARGONAUTE1(AGO1). How plant miRNAs translocate to the cytosol remains mysterious as does their cellular loading site(s) into AGO1. Here, we show that the N-termini of plant AGO1s contain a nuclear-localization (NLS) and nuclear-export signal (NES), which, in Arabidopsis thaliana (At) enables AtAGO1 nucleo-cytosolic shuttling in a Leptomycin-B-inhibited manner, diagnostic of CRM1(Expo1)/NES-dependent nuclear export. Nuclear-only AtAGO1 contains the same 2’O-methylated miRNA cohort as its nucleo-cytosolic counterpart, but specifically interacts with the miRNA loading-chaperone HSP90. AtAGO1 nucleo-cytosolic shuttling is required for mature miRNA translocation and for miRNA-mediated silencing. We propose that plant miRNAs are matured, methylated, loaded into AGO1 in the nucleus, and exported cytoplasmically as AGO1:miRNA complexes in a CRM1(Expo1)/NES-dependent manner.

Arabidopsis AGO1 N-terminal Poly-Q domain promotes phase separation and association with stress granules during heat stress

Project description:In Arabidopsis thaliana, ARGONAUTE1 (AGO1) plays a central role in microRNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated silencing. Nuclear AGO1 is loaded with miRNAs and exported to the cytosol where it associates to the rough ER to conduct miRNA-mediated translational repression, mRNA cleavage and biogenesis of phased siRNAs. These latter, as well as other cytosolic siRNAs, are loaded into cytosolic AGO1, but in which compartment this happens is not known. Moreover, the effect of stress on AGO1 localization is still unclear. Here, we show that heat stress (HS) promotes AGO1 protein accumulation, which co-localize with components of the siRNA bodies and of stress granules (SGs). AGO1 does not need SGS3, a key component of siRNA bodies, to efficiently form condensates during HS. Instead, we found that the still poorly characterized N-terminal Poly-Q domain of AGO1, which contains a prion-like domain, is sufficient to undergo phase separation. Moreover, an exposure of 1 hour to HS only moderately affected AGO1 loading by miRNAs and target cleavage, suggesting that its localization in condensates protects AGO1 rather than promote its activity in reprograming gene expressing during stress. Collectively, our work shed new light on the impact of high temperature on a main effector of RNA silencing in plants.

Differential roles of nuclear and cytosolic GI in regulating plant circadian system

Project description:GIGANTEA (GI) is an important modulator of plant circadian system. Recent studies have reported that protein GI is localized in both nucleus and cytosol, and nuclear and cytosolic GI exert differential effect on plant circadian clock. We first generated GI-null mutants and transgenic Arabidopsis plants that expressed GI fused to green fluorescent protein gene (GIpro::GI-GFP) and GI-GFP with a nuclear localization signal (GIpro::GI-GFP-NLS) or with a nuclear export signal (GIpro::GI-GFP-NES) under the control of native promoter in GI-null mutants. To investigate differential roles of nuclear and cytosolic GI in regulating plant circadian clock, we performed genome-wide gene expression profiling for wild-type plants and the GI-transgenic plants at morning and evening, and analyzed complementation patterns of gi-2 lesion by nuclear and cytosolic GI. As a result, we identified four complementation patterns representing genes affected by only nuclear GI (GIN) or cytosolic GI (GIC), those by either GIN or GIC, and those by the action of both GIN and GIC. Furthermore, we compared the transgenic plants expressing GIpro::GI-GFP with WT and the other GI-transgenic plants to confirm whether abnormally expressed genes by the gi-2 mutation can be complemented by restoring protein GI. Wild-type plants (Col), GI-null mutants (gi-2), and the other transgenic gi-2 plants expressing GIpro::GI-GFP (called GI plants), GIpro::GI-GFP-NLS (called GI-NLS plants), and GIpro::GI-GFP-NES (called GI-NES plants) were grown for seven days under conditions of 16 h light and 8 h dark (LD) and harvested at 1h (ZT1) and 16 hr (ZT16) after the light is turned on, representing morning and evening, respectively. mRNA levels were measured from three biological replicates of Col, gi-2, GI-NLS, GI-NES, and GI.

The Arabidopsis F-box protein FBW2 degrades AGO1 to avoid spurious loading of illegitimate small RNA

Project description:RNA silencing is a conserved mechanism in eukaryotes and is involved in development, heterochromatin maintenance and defense against viruses. In plants, ARGONAUTE1 (AGO1) protein plays a central role in both microRNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA)-directed silencing and its expression is regulated at multiple levels. Here, we report that the F-box protein FBW2 targets proteolysis of AGO1 by a CDC48-mediated mechanism. We found that FBW2 assembles an SCF complex that recognizes the MID-PIWI domain of AGO1 and requires its C-terminal domain containing a GW motif for AGO1 turnover. We showed that FBW2 has a preference for the unloaded and for some mutated forms of AGO1 protein. While FBW2 loss of function does not lead to strong growth or developmental defects, it significantly increases RNA silencing activity. Interestingly, under conditions in which small RNA production or accumulation is affected, the failure to degrade AGO1 in fbw2 mutants becomes more deleterious for the plant. Hence, we showed that the non-degradable AGO1 protein assembles high molecular complexes and binds illegitimate small RNA leading to the cleavage of new target genes that belong to stress responses and cellular metabolic processes. Therefore, the control of AGO1 homeostasis by ubiquitin ligases, plays an important quality control to avoid off-target cleavage.

Arabidopsis AGO1 N-terminal extension acts as an essential hub for PRMT5 interaction and post-translational modifications

Project description:Plant ARGONAUTE (AGO) proteins play pivotal roles in gene expression regulation through small (s)RNA-guided mechanisms. Among the ten AGO proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana, AGO1 stands out as the main effector of post-transcriptional gene silencing. Intriguingly, a specific region of AGO1, its N-terminal extension (NTE), has gained prominence in recent studies linked to diverse regulatory functions, including subcellular localization, sRNA loading, and interactions with regulatory factors. In the realm of post-translational modifications (PTMs), little is known about arginine methylation in Arabidopsis AGOs. This study reveals a novel and intricate landscape of AGO1 methylation. Here, we have elucidated that NTEAGO1 undergoes symmetric arginine dimethylation on specific residues, and interacts with the methyltransferase PRMT5, which catalyzes its methylation. Notably, we observed that the lack of symmetric dimethylarginine has no discernible impact on AGO1's subcellular localization or miRNA loading capabilities. However, the absence of PRMT5 significantly alters the loading of a subgroup of sRNAs into AGO1 and reshapes the NTEAGO1 interactome. Importantly, our research extends beyond AGO1, illustrating that symmetric arginine dimethylation of NTEs is a common process across Arabidopsis AGOs, taking place in AGO1, AGO2, AGO3, and AGO5, deepening our understanding of PTMs in the intricate landscape of RNA-associated gene regulation.

Total and AGO1 immunoprecipitated small RNA from Arabidopsis thaliana wild-type and ago1-57 mutant

Project description:In Arabidopsis thaliana, ARGONAUTE1 (AGO1) plays a central role[AQ1] in microRNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA)- mediated silencing and is a key component in antiviral responses. The polerovirus F-box P0 protein triggers AGO1 degradation as a viral counterdefense. Here, we identified a motif in AGO1 that is required for its interaction with the S phase kinase-associated protein1-cullin 1-F-box protein (SCF) P0 (SCFP0) complex and subsequent degradation. The AGO1 P0 degron is conserved and confers P0-mediated degradation to other AGO[AQ2] proteins. Interestingly, the degron motif is localized in the DUF1785 domain of AGO1, in which a single point mutation (ago1-57, obtained by forward genetic screening) compromises recognition by SCFP0. Recapitulating formation of the RNA-induced silencing complex in a cell-free system revealed that this mutation impairs RNA unwinding, leading to stalled forms of AGO1 still bound to double-stranded RNAs. In vivo, the DUF1785 is required for unwinding perfectly matched siRNA duplexes, but is mostly dispensable for unwinding imperfectly matched miRNA duplexes. Consequently, its mutation nearly abolishes phased siRNA production and sense transgene posttranscriptional gene silencing. Overall, our work sheds new light on the mode of AGO1 recognition by P0 and the in vivo function of DUF1785 in RNA silencing.

Cancer-associated mutations impair the capability of CRM1 to regulate NPAT condensation and histone locus body

Project description:Importins could inhibit the condensation of RNA-binding proteins, while it is proposed that exportins could not elicit a similar function. Here, we identified exportin CRM1 binds nuclear protein NPAT, which initiates and maintains the formation of histone locus body (HLB), a membrane-less nuclear body determining histone transcription. CRM1 drives the nuclear export of NPAT by targeting a cryptical nuclear export signal (NES) motif within the LisH domain. The LisH domain contributes to NPAT condensation by mediating its self-association. Mechanistically, CRM1 competitively occupies the self-association sites in the NES motif to suppress NPAT condensation. In contrast, the two recurrent CRM1 E571K and E571G mutants could not regulate NPAT condensation and HLB remodeling due to their impaired binding to the NES of NPAT. Based on the “competitive occupation” model, we designed a LisH domain-derived short peptide that competes with homotypic intermolecular interactions of NPAT to perturb HLB formation. Our findings reveal that exportin regulates nuclear protein condensation via a “competitive occupation” strategy.
