Effects of temperature on specificity and efficiency of a bacterial regulatory RNA

ABSTRACT: Bacterial small RNAs (sRNAs) are post-transcriptional regulators of stress response, virulence and more. The activity of sRNAs must be maintained across diverse environmental conditions, including the range of temperatures that defines the thermal niche of the species. Here we characterize the effects of temperature on the specificity and efficiency of sRNA regulation in E. coli. By measuring the activity of a large-scale library of sRNA variants at different temperatures, we found that many mutations have a significant but temperature-independent effect. We identified temperature-sensitive sequence elements using measurements that break from this dominant trend. Features associated with the specificity of sRNA regulation are more sensitive to mutations at high temperatures, and we confirm that specificity is more stringent at these temperatures. In contrast, many mutations in the region responsible for interactions with other targets have a stronger negative impact at low temperatures. Together, our results suggest that sRNAs may be structured such that variation in temperature may enhance their evolutionary plasticity.

An Expression Alteration of Small RNA Profiling in Autotriploids Derived from Rice Twin-Seedlings

Project description:Although closely related to plant evolution, polyploid sRNAs (small RNAs) were seldom studied with experiments, especially on genome-wide range. In this study, a rice twin-seeding (two seedlings from the same grain) line SARII-658 was employed to isolate autotriploids. Those autotriploids possess unique merits to study the two interesting topics: (i) natural polyploids; (ii) the autonomy of epigenetic variations (i.e. sRNAs) from genome doubling per se. sRNA libraries were prepared from those diploid-autotriploid twin-seedlings and then were sequenced to produce 13,308,226 short sequence reads in total. Out of the 35,429 miRNA genes and siRNA clusters, 1,547 (4.36%) changed their expression levels for two folds or above after genome doubling (thereinafter, referred those sRNAs as ploidy-sensitive). The expression-unregulated sRNAs (3.71%) were far more than the downregulated ones (0.64%), suggesting that the negative regulation of the coding gene by sRNA increase is more prevalent than the positive regulation during genome doubling. The expression of sRNAs were obviously increased and biased to accumulate toward centromeric and heterochromatic regions, suggesting that sRNAs should play a role in repressing transposition activity during genome doubling. Except transposition activity, the targets of those ploidy-sensitive sRNAs involved many kinds of gene function categories, suggesting an overall regulation of sRNAs to polyploid biological processes. Findings from this study will provide theoretical bases for elucidating epigenetic mechanism of plant and sRNA evolution via genome doubling. Examination of 2 different small RNA expression profilings in 2 ploidy plants.

Redefining the sRNA transcriptome of Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 2 strain D39

Project description:Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is a major human respiratory pathogen and the leading cause of bacterial pneumonia worldwide. Small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs), which often act by post-transcriptionally regulating gene expression, have been shown to be crucial for the virulence of S. pneumoniae and other bacterial pathogens. Over 170 putative sRNAs have been identified in S. pneumoniae TIGR4 strain (serotype 4) through transcriptomic studies, and a subset of these sRNAs have been further implicated in regulating pneumococcal pathogenesis. However, there was little overlap in the sRNAs identified among these studies, which indicated that the approaches used for sRNA identification were not sufficiently sensitive and robust and that there were likely many more undiscovered sRNAs encoded in the S. pneumoniae genome. Here, we sought to comprehensively identify sRNAs in Avery's virulent S. pneumoniae strain D39 using two independent RNA-seq based approaches. We developed an unbiased method for identifying novel sRNAs from bacterial RNA-seq data and have further tested the specificity of our analysis program towards identifying sRNAs encoded by both strains D39 and TIGR4. Interestingly, the genes for 15% of the putative sRNAs identified in strain TIGR4 including ones previously implicated in virulence were not present in strain D39 genome suggesting that the differences in sRNA repertoires between these two serotypes may contribute to their strain-specific virulence properties. Finally, this study has identified 67 new sRNA candidates in strain D39, 28 out of which have been further validated, raising the total number of sRNAs that have been identified in strain D39 to 112.

small RNAs sequences from grafted Arabidopsis thaliana and Nicotiana benthamiana tissues

Project description:A silencing signal in plants with an RNA specificity determinant moves through plasmodesmata and the phloem. To identify the mobile RNA we grafted Arabidopsis thaliana shoots to roots that would be a recipient for the silencing signal. Using high throughput sequencing as a sensitive detection method and mutants to block small RNA (sRNA) biogenesis in either source or recipient tissue, we detected endogenous and transgene specific sRNA that moved across the graft union. Surprisingly we found that the mobile endogenous sRNAs account for a substantial proportion of the sRNA in roots and we provide evidence that 24nt mobile sRNAs direct epigenetic modifications in the genome of the recipient cells. Mobile sRNA thus represents a mechanism for transmitting the specification of epigenetic modification and could affect genome defence and responses to external stimuli that have persistent effects in plants.

Target-Enrichment Sequencing for Detailed Characterization of Small RNAs

Project description:Identification of important, functional small RNA (sRNA) species is presently hampered by the lack of reliable and sensitive methods to isolate and characterize them. We have developed a method termed Target-Enrichment of small RNAs (TEsR), which enables targeted sequencing of rare sRNAs and diverse precursor and mature forms of sRNAs not detectable by current standard sRNA sequencing methods. It is based on the amplification of full length sRNA molecules, production of biotinylated RNA probes, hybridization to one or multiple targeted RNA, removal of non-targeted sRNAs, and sequencing. By this approach, target sRNAs can be enriched by a factor of 500-30,000 while maintaining strand specificity. TEsR enriches for sRNAs irrespective of length or different molecular features, such as the presence or absence of a 5’-cap or of secondary structures or abundance levels, and allows the detection of the complete sequence (including sequence variants, 5’ and 3’ ends) of precursors, intermediate and mature forms, and all this quantitatively.

Neisseria meningitides small RNA's regulate Citric acid cycle activity under Feast and Famine conditions

Project description:We identified twin small non-coding RNAs regulating tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle activity in Neisseria meningitidis. Expression of TCA cycle enzymes was elevated in sRNA deletion mutants. Direct interaction between sRNAs and the ribosomal entry sites on target mRNAs was demonstrated. Expression of the sRNAs was down-regulated in cells grown in poor medium with glucose as the sole carbon source but not without lrp, indicating that sRNA expression is controlled by the stringent response. N. meningitidis, over-expressing the sRNAs replicated in blood, but not in human cerebrospinal fluid. In addition, Lrp synthesis was inhibited by direct interaction between the sRNA and the 5’ UTR of lrp. sRNAs control adaptation of N. meningitidis to variation in nutrient supply in different niches of its host.

Polynucleotide phosphorylase promotes the stability and function of Hfq-binding sRNAs by degrading target mRNA-derived fragments

Project description:In many gram-negative and some gram-positive bacteria small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) that bind the RNA chaperone Hfq have a pivotal role in modulating virulence, stress responses, metabolism, and biofilm formation. These sRNAs recognize transcripts through base-pairing, and sRNA-mRNA annealing consequently alters the translation and/or stability of transcripts leading to changes in gene expression. We have previously found that the highly conserved 3'-to-5' exoribonuclease polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase) has an indispensable role in paradoxically stabilizing Hfq-bound sRNAs and promoting their function in gene regulation in Escherichia coli. Here, we report that PNPase uniquely contributes to the degradation of specific mRNA cleavage products, the majority of which bind Hfq and are derived from targets of sRNAs. Specifically, we found that these mRNA-derived fragments accumulate in the absence of PNPase or its exoribonuclease activity and interact with PNPase. Additionally, we show that mutations in hfq or in the seed pairing region of a sRNA eliminated the requirement of PNPase for sRNA stability. Altogether, our results are consistent with a model that PNPase degrades mRNA-derived fragments that could otherwise deplete cells of Hfq-binding sRNAs through pairing mediated decay.
