Variations in the expression pattern and sequence similarity of the key genes involved in the metabolism of taxoids among three Taxus species

ABSTRACT: Background：Taxol is an efficient anticancer drug; however, the accumulation of taxoids can vary hugely among Taxus species. The mechanism underlying differential accumulation of taxoids are largely unknown. Thus, the comparative analysis of the transcriptomes in three Taxus species, including T. media, T. mairei and T. cuspidata, was performed. Results:KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that the diterpenoid biosynthesis and cytochrome P450 pathways were significantly enriched in the differential expressed genes. Dynamic expressions of the taxol biosynthesis related genes might be a potential explanation for the interspecific differential accumulation of taxol and its derivatives. Besides, the sequences of several key enzymes were re-assembled based on independent transcriptomes from different Taxus species. Our data showed that sequence diversity may be another factor that determines the variations in taxoids. Furthermore, five jasmonic acid (JA) metabolism-related GO terms were analyzed. The differential expression of these JA-related transcription factors suggested distinct responses to exogenous MeJA applications in the three Taxus species. Conclusions:Our results revealed the comprehensive variations in the expression pattern and sequence similarity of the key genes involved in the metabolism of taxoids among different Taxus species. The data give us an opportunity to reveal the mechanism underlying the variations in the taxoid contents and to select the highest-yielding Taxus species.

Analysis of sexually dimorphic accumulation of taxoids identifies a female-specific MYB-bHLH complex involved in the paclitaxel biosynthesis of Taxus media

Project description:Taxol is an efficient anticancer drug accumulated in Taxus trees. Taxus media, a large-scale cultured species, is a dioecious woody tree with high taxol yielding. However, the sexually dimorphic accumulation of taxoids in T. media is largely unknown. Our study identified a large number of differentially accumulated metabolites and differentially expressed genes, revealing the comprehensive differences between the female and male T. media trees. LC-MS analysis confirmed the high accumulation of taxoids in the female trees. Expression analysis showed that most Taxol biosynthesis-related genes were predominantly expressed in the female trees. To investigate the regulation mechanism underlying the sexually dimorphic accumulation of taxoids, a female-specific expressed gene, TmMYB39, was identified and its full-length sequence was cloned. Multiple sequence alignment and phylogenetic analyses showed that TmMYB39 is a typical R2R3-MYB factor and the subcellular localization of TmMYB39 is shown to be the nucleus. Furthermore, Y2H and BiFC assays showed that TmMYB39 interacts with TmbHLH13. Partial promoter sequences of 10 taxol biosynthesis-related genes were isolated, which were used for screening of the MYB recognition elements. TmMYB39 binds to the promoters of several taxol-related genes, such as GGPPS, T7OH, T10OH, T13OH, and TBT genes. Interaction between TmMYB39 and TmbHLH13 affected the expression of GGPS and T10OH genes, suggesting that TmMYB39 might function in the regulation of taxol biosynthesis through a ‘MYB-bHLH’ module. Our data provided a potential explanation for the sexually dimorphic accumulation of taxoids.

Gene expression in rice roots after Pythium arrhenomsnes infection versus mock infection

Project description:Next to their essential roles in plant growth and development, phytohormones play a central role in plant immunity against pathogens. In this study we examined the role of hormones in the antagonism of the plant-pathogenic oomycete Pythium arrhenomanes against the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne graminicola in rice roots. Hormone measurements and gene expression analyses showed that the jasmonate (JA) pathway is induced early upon P. arrhenomanes infection. Exogenous application of methyl-jasmonate (MeJA) on the plant confirmed that JA is needed for basal defence against both P. arrhenomanes and M. graminicola in rice. Whereas M. graminicola suppresses root JA levels to increase host susceptibility, Pythium inoculation boosts JA accumulation up to levels that can no longer be repressed by the nematode in double-inoculated plants. Exogenous MeJA supply phenocopied the defence-inducing capacity of P. arrhenomanes against the root-knot nematode, whereas the antagonism was weakened in JA-insensitive mutants. Transcriptome analysis confirmed upregulation of JA biosynthesis and signalling genes upon P. arrhenomanes infection, and additionally revealed induction of genes involved in biosynthesis of diterpenoid phytoalexins, consistent with strong activation of the gene encoding the JA-inducible transcriptional regulator DITERPENOID PHYTOALEXIN FACTOR. Next to that, our results provide evidence for induced expression of genes encoding ERF83, and related PR proteins, as well as auxin depletion in P. arrhenomanes infected rice roots, which potentially further contributes to the reduced nematode susceptibility seen in double-infected plants.

Jasmonic acid signaling and glutathione coordinate plant recovery from high light stress

Project description:High light (HL)-induced chloroplast retrograde signaling originates from the photosynthetic apparatus and regulates nuclear gene expression to enhance photoprotection and coordinate cell metabolism. Here, we analyzed the transcript profiles and accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), stress hormones and small molecule antioxidants to investigate the signaling mechanisms operating under HL stress, and in particular during plant recovery (R) from stress under growth conditions. Exposure to HL for 15 min induced a number of singlet oxygen (1O2) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-responsive genes and accumulation of an oxidative form of glutathione (GSSG) and ascorbate (DHA), the hallmarks of oxidative stress in cells. Prolonged exposure to HL resulted in accumulation of transcripts encoding oxylipin biosynthesis enzymes, leading to accumulation of 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid (OPDA) and jasmonic acid (JA). However, the expression of several JA-responsive genes, already induced by HL, peaked during the R-phase (R-sustained) together with accumulation of JA, reduced glutathione (GSH) and ascorbate (AsA), highlighting the critical role of JA signaling in restoring chloroplast redox balance following HL stress. The involvement of JA signaling in R-sustained gene expression was further confirmed by conducting experiments with JA receptor mutants (coi1). HL exposure of only 2 min was sufficient to induce some R-sustained genes, indicating rapid response of plants to changing light conditions. We propose that ROS production at HL induces the signaling cascade for early oxylipin biosynthesis and OPDA accumulation, while increased accumulation of JA in R-phase activates the genes that fully restore the glutathione metabolism, and ultimately allow recovery from short-term HL stress.

Jasmonate Regulates Plant Responses to Reoxygenation through Activation of Antioxidant Synthesis

Project description:Submergence induces hypoxia in plants; exposure to oxygen following submergence, termed reoxygenation, produces a burst of reactive oxygen species. The mechanisms of hypoxia sensing and signaling in plants have been well studied, but how plants respond to reoxygenation remains unclear. Here, we show that reoxygenation in Arabidopsis thaliana involves rapid accumulation of jasmonates (JAs) and increased transcript levels of JA biosynthesis genes. Application of exogenous methyl jasmonate improved tolerance to reoxygenation in wild-type Arabidopsis; also, mutants deficient in JA biosynthesis and signaling were very sensitive to reoxygenation. Moreover, overexpression of the transcription factor gene MYC2 enhanced tolerance to post-hypoxic stress and myc2 knockout mutants showed increased sensitivity to reoxygenation, indicating that MYC2 functions as a key regulator in the JA-mediated reoxygenation response. MYC2 transcriptionally activates members of the VITAMIN C DEFECTIVE (VTC) and GLUTATHIONE SYNTHETASE (GSH) gene families, which encode rate-limiting enzymes in the ascorbate and glutathione synthesis pathways. Overexpression of VTC1 and GSH1 in the myc2-2 mutant suppressed the post-hypoxic hypersensitive phenotype. The JA-inducible accumulation of antioxidants may alleviate oxidative damage caused by reoxygenation, improving plant survival after submergence. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that JA signaling interacts with the antioxidant pathway to regulate reoxygenation responses in Arabidopsis.

Transcriptomic analysis revealed the mechanisms involved in the differential accumulation of taxoids, flavonoids and hormones among three Taxaceae trees

Project description:The natural product taxol is an efficient and worldwide accepted anticancer drug. Taxol and other taxoids accumulate in only a few specific genera of the Taxaceae family, such as Taxus and Pseudotaxus. The comprehensive variations among three Taxaceae trees, including one taxol-producing (TP) and two non-taxol producing (NTP) trees, were compared. In total, 3,655 metabolites and 88,609 functional genes were identified through metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses, respectively. KEGG enrichment analysis showed that many differentially expressed genes were enriched in several hormone-, flavonoid-, and terpenoid-related metabolic pathways. The hormones, abscisate and abscisic acid, highly accumulated in the NTP trees, whereas gibberellic acids substantially accumulated in the TP trees.

Integrated Four Comparative-Omics Reveals the Mechanism of the Terpenoid Biosynthesis in Two Different Overwintering Cryptomeria fortunei Phenotypes

Project description:Chinese cedar (Cryptomeria fortunei) is a tree species with important ornamental, medicinal, and economic value. Terpenoids extracted from the essential oil of C. fortunei needles have been considered valuable ingredients in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. However, the possible gene regulation mechanisms that limit terpenoid biosynthesis in this genus are poorly understood. Here, we adopted integrated metabolome analysis, transcriptome, small-RNA (sRNA), and degradome sequencing to analyze the differences in terpenoid regulatory mechanisms in two different overwintering C. fortunei phenotypes (wild-type and an evergreen mutant). A total of 1447/6219 differentially synthesized metabolites (DSMs)/unigenes (DEGs) were detected through metabolome/transcriptome analyses, and these DSMs/DEGs were significantly enriched in flavonoid and diterpenoid biosynthesis pathways. In C. fortunei needles, 587 microRNAs (miRNAs), including 67 differentially expressed miRNAs (DERs), were detected. Among them, 8346 targets of 571 miRNAs were predicted using degradome data, and a 72-miRNA-target regulatory network involved in the metabolism of terpenoids and polyketides was constructed. Forty-one targets were further confirmed to be involved in terpenoid backbone and diterpenoid biosynthesis, and target analyses revealed that two miRNAs (i.e., aly-miR168a-5p and aof-miR396a) may be related to the different phenotypes and to differential regulation of diterpenoid biosynthesis. Overall, these results reveal that C. fortunei plants with the evergreen mutation maintain high terpenoid levels in winter through miRNA-target regulation, which provides a valuable resource for essential oil-related bioengineering research.

Global Analysis of the Transcriptional Response of Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa ssp. pekinensis) to Methyl Jasmonate Reveals JA Signaling on Enhancement of Secondary Metabolism Pathways

Project description:We conducted a RNA-Seq analysis of MeJA-treated Chinese cabbage leaf transcriptome. Total 14,619,469 sequence reads were generated to produce 27,461 detected genes, among which 1,451 genes were up-regulated and 991 genes were down-regulated as differentially expressed genes (DEGs) (log2 ratio â¥1, false discovery rate â¤0.001). More than 90% of the DEGs (2,278) were between 1.0- and 3.0-fold (log2 ratio). The most highly represented pathways by 1,674 annotated DEGs were related to âmetabolic pathwaysâ (333 members), âribosomeâ (314 members), âbiosynthesis of secondary metabolitesâ (218 members), âplant-pathogen interactionâ (146 members), and âplant hormone signal transductionâ (99 members). Fourteen genes involved in JA biosynthesis pathway were up-regulated. As many as 182 genes for the biosynthesis of several secondary metabolites were induced, and the level of indole glucosinolate was highly increased by MeJA treatment. The genes encoding sugar catabolism and some amino acids synthesis were up-regulated, which could supply structural intermediates and energy for the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites. The results demonstrated a high degree of transcriptional complexity with dynamic coordinated changes in global gene expression of Chinese cabbage in response to MeJA treatment. It expands our understanding of the complex molecular events on JA-induced plant resistance and accumulation of secondary metabolites. It also provides a foundation for further studies on the molecular mechanisms of different pathways in other Brassica crops under MeJA treatment.
