MetR is a global regulator controlling phytochrome-dependent light responses in Aspergillus nidulans

ABSTRACT: Phytochrome-dependent light signaling has been studied in several fungi. In Aspergillus nidulans light-stimulated phytochrome activates the HOG signaling pathway and thereby controls the expression of a large number of genes, many of which are related to stress responses. In a genome-wide expression analysis in A. nidulans we found that phytochrome, fphA, is under strict expression control of the central regulator of the sulfur-starvation response, MetR. This transcriptional regulator is required for the expression of genes involved in inorganic sulfur assimilation. In the presence of organic sulfur, MetR is probably ubiquitinated and possibly degraded and the transcription of sulfur-assimilation genes, e.g. sulfate permease, is turned off. The expression analysis described here revealed, however, that MetR additionally controls the expression of hundreds of genes, many of which are required for secondary metabolite production. We also show that metR mutation phenocopies fphA deletion, and five other histidine-hybrid kinases are down-regulated in the metR1 mutant. Furthermore, we show that light and phytochrome regulate the expression of at least three carbon-sulfur hydrolases. This work is a further step towards understanding the interplay between light sensing and metabolic pathways.

The Aspergillus nidulans metZ gene encodes a transcription factor involved in regulation of sulfur metabolism in this fungus and other Eurotiales

Project description:In Aspergillus nidulans, expression of sulfur metabolism genes is activated by the MetR transcription factor containing a basic region and leucine zipper domain (bZIP). Here we identified and characterized MetZ, a new transcriptional regulator in Aspergillus nidulans and other Eurotiales. It contains a bZIP domain similar to the corresponding region in MetR and this similarity suggests that MetZ could potentially complement the MetR deficiency. The metR and metZ genes are interrupted by unusually long introns. Transcription of metZ, unlike that of metR, is controlled by the sulfur metabolite repression system (SMR) dependent on the MetR protein. Overexpression of metZ from a MetR-independent promoter in a metR strain, activates transcription of genes encoding sulfate permease, homocysteine synthase and methionine permease, partially complementing the phenotype of the metR mutation. Thus, MetZ appears to be a second transcription factor involved in regulation of sulfur metabolism genes.

Phytochrome B photobodies are comprised of phytochrome B and its primary and secondary interacting proteins

Project description:Phytochrome B (phyB) is a plant photoreceptor that forms a membraneless organelle called a photobody. However, its constituents are not fully known. Here, we isolated phyB photobodies from Arabidopsis leaves using fluorescence-activated particle sorting and analyzed their components. We found that a photobody comprises ~1,500 phyB dimers along with other proteins that could be classified into two groups: The first includes proteins that directly interact with phyB and localize to the photobody when expressed in protoplasts, while the second includes proteins that interact with the first group proteins and require co-expression of a first-group protein to localize to the photobody. As an example of the second group, TOPLESS (TPL) interacts with PHOTOPERIODIC CONTROL OF HYPOCOTYL 1 (PCH1) and localizes to the photobody when co-expressed with PCH1. Mutations in TPL family members cause shortened hypocotyls under red light, demonstrating that the method identifies photobody components that regulate red light signaling. Together, our results support that phyB photobodies include not only phyB and its primary interacting proteins but also its secondary interacting proteins.

Light- and Phytochrome-Dependent Regulation of Hypocotyl Elongation in Arabidopsis thaliana

Project description:To identify and characterize genes required for tissue-specific phytochrome responses during hypocotyl development in far-red-light grown bvr lines, we performed gene transcriptional profiling using bvr lines with mesophyll-specific phytochrome inactivation (cab3: :pBVR2). We identified several candidate genes whose expression is significantly altered in lines with mesophyll tissue-specific BVR expression (Cab3::pBVR2), compared to constitutive phytochrome inactivation lines, i.e. 35S-driven BVR lines (35S::pBVR3). No-0 is used as wild-type (WT) Seeds of No-0 WT, 35S::pBVR3 and CAB3::pBVR2 on MS plates were exposed to Red (R) light of 75 M-BM-5mol m-2 s-1 for 5 min and imbibing seeds were cold-stratified at 4 M-BM-0C in darkness for 3 d. Seedlings were grown under continuous far-red illumination for 7 d. Seven-day-old vegetative whole seedlings (300 M-bM-^@M-^S 500 mg) were quickly (<1 min) harvested and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen inside the FR chamber. Seedlings were grown under continuous far-red illumination for 7 d.

Mechanism of early light signaling by the carboxy-terminal output module of Arabidopsis phytochrome B

Project description:Phytochromes are evolutionarily conserved photoreceptors in bacteria, fungi, and plants. The prototypical phytochrome comprises an N-terminal photosensory module and a C-terminal histidine kinase signaling-output module. However, the plant phytochrome has been postulated to transduce light signals by interacting with a group of nodal Phytochrome-Interacting transcription Factors (PIFs) and triggering their degradation via the N-terminal photosensory module, while its C-terminal output module, including a Histidine Kinase-Related Domain (HKRD), is thought not to participate directly in signaling. Here, we show that the C-terminal module of Arabidopsis phytochrome B (PHYB) is unexpectedly sufficient to mediate the degradation of PIF3 and to induce a distinct set of PIF-regulated photosynthetic genes. These signaling functions require the HKRD and particularly its dimerization. A D1040V mutation, which disrupts the dimerization of HKRD and the interaction between the C-terminal module and PIF3, abrogates the early light signaling functions of PHYB in nuclear accumulation, photobody biogenesis, and PIF3 degradation. In contrast, disruption of the interaction between PIF3 and PHYB’s N-terminal photosensory module has little effect on PIF3 degradation. Together, this study provides novel insight into the central mechanism of early phytochrome signaling that the C-terminal signaling-output module of PHYB interacts with PIF3 in the nucleus to mediate PIF3 degradation by light.

Phytochrome C And Low Temperature Promote The Expression And Red Light Signaling Of Phytochrome D

Project description:Light is an ever-changing environmental parameter affecting almost every aspects of plant growth and development. It is perceived by photoreceptors, among them phytochromes (PHY) are responsible for monitoring the red and far-red part of the spectrum. Arabidopsis thaliana possesses five phytochromes genes, named through phyA-phyE. Whereas the function of phyA and phyB – that mediate most of the phytochrome responses – is extensively studied, our knowledge on other phytochromes are still rudimentary. To analyze phyD function we expressed it at high levels in different phytochrome deficient genetic backgrounds. We found that overexpressed phyD governs effective light signaling at low temperatures but only in cooperation with functional phyC. Under these conditions, opposite to phyB, phyD accumulates to high levels and this pool is stable under light illumination. Furthermore, the detectable photoconvertible phyD amount is proportional with the available protein amount indicating that the phyD pool contains fully functional photoreceptors. The thermal reversion of phyD is very fast suggesting that the thermosensing of phyD is based on its protein amount and not on its Pfr conformer stability, which was described for phyB. We also found that phyD and phyB associate to identical genomic locations and mediate similar gene expression changes, however the efficiency of phyD is lower. Taken together our data suggest that under certain conditions synergistic interaction of phyD and phyC substitutes phyB function thus increases the ability of plants to respond more flexible to environmental changes.
