The Anaphase Promoting Complex/Cyclosome degrades DMS3 to maintain RNA-directed DNA Methylation in Arabidopsis [small RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) plays an essential role in transposable element (TE) silencing in plants. In the Arabidopsis RdDM pathway, the DDR complex containing DRD1, DMS3, and RDM1, is necessary for recruiting Pol V to transcribe scaffold RNA. Although the role of DDR is known, the mechanism by which the DDR complex is regulated remains unexplored. Here, we demonstrate that the Anaphase Promoting Complex/Cyclosome (APC/C) monitors the assembly of the DDR complex by targeting DMS3 for degradation. We show that a subset of Pol V-dependent RdDM loci are de-repressed in apc/c mutants, accompanied by defective recruitment and transcription of Pol V. APC/C targets DMS3 for ubiquitination and degradation in a D box-dependent manner, and the D-box-mutated DMS3 fails to complement the dms3 mutant. Competitive binding assays shows that the dosage of DMS3 is critical for the assembly of the DDR complex, and in vivo gel filtration analysis shows that the assembly of both DDR and Pol V is compromised in the apc8 mutant. These findings uncover a safeguard role of APC/C-mediated DMS3 degradation in the assembly of the DDR complex, and provide a direct link between selective protein degradation and RdDM.

An RdDM-independent function of Pol V transcripts in gene regulation and plant defense

Project description:RNA polymerase V (Pol V) and Pol IV are known to be specialized for RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM). Here, we report that Pol V, but not Pol IV, regulates hundreds of genes including JA-responsive genes and confers plant defense to Botrytis cinerea and Spodoptera exigua. About half of the Pol V-regulated genes are associated with Pol V transcripts (PVTs). We thus hypothesized that some PVTs could regulate gene expression in an RdDM-independent manner. To test this hypothesis, we studied three PVTs, PVT-ERF5a/b and PVT-ERF6, as models. PVT-ERF5a/b and PVT-ERF6 are transcribed from the upstream regions of ERF5 and ERF6 and positively regulate their transcription, thereby regulating plant defense. We further show that such regulation involves PVT-dependent H3K4me3 deposition and requires the DRD1-DMS3-RDM1 complex that mediates Pol V recruitment to the target loci. Our findings highlight an unprecedented role for PVTs in regulating gene transcription, apart from serving as scaffold RNAs to direct DNA methylation.

Characterization of small RNA-generating regions targeted by RNA polymerase V in Arabidopsis

Project description:In plants, heterochromatin is maintained by a small RNA-based gene silencing mechanism known as RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM). RdDM requires the non-redundant functions of two plant-specific DNA-dependent RNA polymerases (Pol) Pol IV and Pol V. Pol IV plays a major role in siRNA biogenesis, while Pol V may recruit DNA methylation machinery to target endogenous loci for silencing. Although small RNA-generating regions which are dependent on both Pol IV and Pol V have been identified previously, the genomic loci targeted Pol V for siRNA accumulation and silencing have not been described extensively. To characterize the Pol V-dependent, heterochromatic siRNA-generating regions in the Arabidopsis genome, we deeply sequenced the small RNA populations of wild-type and Pol V mutant plants. Furthermore, we characterized the siRNA-generating regions which were dependent on RdDM effectors and examined their dependency on Pol V. Small RNA libraries were generated and deeply sequenced from mutant alleles dms4-1, drd1-1, dms3-1, and rdm1-4, along with their control library (“Wt(T+S)”) which has been described previously (Kanno et al. 2004 Current Biology). More than 2,000 small RNA-generating loci were identified which were greatly suppressed in Pol V mutants. The Pol V-dependent, heterochromatic siRNA-generating regions were characterized in the Arabidopsis genome by deep sequencing the small RNA populations of wild-type and Pol V mutant plants. Deep SBS sequencing was used for small RNA profiling of immature inflorescence tissues from RNA polymerase V and RdDM mutants.

Functional analysis of Cdc20 reveals a critical role of CRY box in mitotic checkpoint signaling

Project description:Accurate chromosome segregation is coordinated by the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) through its effector the mitotic checkpoint complex (MCC), to inhibit the anaphase-promoting complex or cyclosome (APC/C). Cdc20 is an essential mitotic regulator since it promotes mitotic exit through activating the APC/C and monitors kinetochore-microtubule attachment through activating the SAC. The proper functioning of Cdc20 requires multiple interactions with APC/C and MCC subunits. To functionally assess each of these interactions within cells requires efficient depletion of endogenous Cdc20, which is highly difficult to achieve by RNAi. Here we generated Cdc20 RNAi sensitive cell lines by CRISPR/Cas9 which display a penetrant metaphase arrest phenotype by a single RNAi treatment. In this null background, we accurately measured the contribution of each known motif of Cdc20 on APC/C and SAC activation. The CRY box, a previously identified degron was found to be critical for the SAC by promoting theMCC formation and stabilizing the interaction between the MCC and APC/C. These data reveal additionalregulatory components within the SAC and establish a novel method to interrogate Cdc20 function.

FVE promotes RNA-directed DNA methylation by facilitating the association of RNA polymerase V with chromatin [ChIP-seq]

Project description:DNA methylation can be established by RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) in plants. The association of RNA polymerase V (Pol V) with chromatin is a critical step for RdDM. While the SRA-domain-containing proteins SUVH2 and SUVH9 and the DDR complex are known to be required for the association of Pol V with chromatin, it is unknown whether the association of Pol V with chromatin requires other unidentified regulators. Here we found that SUVH9 is able to interact with a conserved histone-interaction protein, FVE, and a previously uncharacterized RRM domain-containing protein, which we named RRM1. We demonstrated that FVE facilitates the association of Pol V with chromatin and thus contributes to DNA methylation at a substantial subset of RdDM target loci, while RRM1 is only slightly involved in RdDM. FVE-dependent RdDM target loci are more abundant in gene-rich chromosome arms than FVE-independent RdDM target loci. FVE was previously shown to be a shared subunit of the RPD3-type histone deacetylase complex and the polycomb-type histone H3K27 trimethyltransferase complex, both of which are involved in transcriptional repression. This study reveals a previously uncharacterized role of FVE in RdDM and suggests that FVE may coordinate RdDM, histone deacetylation, and H3K27 trimethylation, thus ensuring transcriptional silencing of TEs in gene-rich chromosome arms to protect genes from harmful effects of potentially transcribed TEs.

The DDR complex facilitates the genome-wide association of RNA Polymerase V to promoters and evolutionarily young transposons

Project description:The plant-specific DNA-dependent RNA polymerase V (Pol V) evolved from Pol II to function in an RNA-directed DNA methylation pathway. Here, we have identified targets of Pol V in Arabidopsis thaliana on a genome-wide scale using ChIP-seq of NRPE1, the largest catalytic subunit of Pol V. We found that Pol V is enriched at promoters and evolutionarily recent transposons. This localization pattern is highly correlated with Pol V-dependent DNA methylation and small RNA accumulation. We also show that genome-wide association of Pol V with chromatin is dependent on all members of a putative chromatin-remodeling complex termed DDR. Our study presents the first genome-wide view of Pol V occupancy and sheds light on the mechanistic basis of Pol V localization. Furthermore, these findings suggest a role for Pol V and RNA-directed DNA methylation in genome surveillance and in responding to genome evolution. For wild type plants (ecotype Columbia) and nrpe1 mutants whole-genome small RNA (sRNA-seq) and bisulfite sequencing (BS-seq) was performed. In addition whole genome chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP-seq) was performed on wild type (ecotype Columbia) plants as a negative control with experimentals consiting of wild type plants carrying a C-terminally epitope tagged (2XFLAG) NRPE1, as well as the NRPE1-FLAG construct in drd1, dms3, and rdm1 mutant backgrounds.
