RNA-dependent RNA polymerases in the black-legged tick produce Argonaute-dependent small RNAs and regulate genes

ABSTRACT: Small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) are involved in anti-viral defense and gene regulation. Although RNA-dependent RNA Polymerases (RdRPs) play essential roles in sRNA biogenesis in nematodes, plants and fungi, their involvement in other animals remains controversial. We identify abundant classes of ~22nt sRNAs that require specific combinations of RdRPs and sRNA effector proteins (Argonautes or AGOs) expressed in the tick ISE6 cell line. The RdRP-dependent sRNAs are mainly derived from sense and antisense strands of RNA polymerase III-transcribed genes and repetitive elements. Knockdown of AGO/RdRP causes miregulation of protein-coding genes.These results demonstrate that arachnid RdRPs are important sRNA biogenesis factors, and the discovery of novel pathways underscores the importance of characterizing sRNA biogenesis in various organisms to understand virus-vector interactions and exploit RNAi for pest control.

Sequential rounds of RNA-dependent RNA transcription drive endogenous small-RNA biogenesis in ERGO-1/Argonaute pathway

Project description:Argonaute (AGO) proteins interact with distinct classes of small RNAs to direct multiple regulatory outcomes. In many organisms, including plants, fungi and nematodes, cellular RNAdependent RNA polymerases (RdRPs) utilize AGO targets as templates for amplification of silencing signals. Here, we show that distinct RdRPs function sequentially to produce small RNAs that target endogenous loci in C. elegans. We show that DCR-1, the RdRP RRF-3, and the dsRNA-binding protein RDE-4, are required for the biogenesis of 26nt RNAs, termed 26GRNAs, and that 26G-RNAs engage the Piwi-clade AGO, ERGO-1. Our findings support a model in which targeting by ERGO-1 recruits a second RdRP (RRF-1 or EGO-1), which in turn transcribes 22G-RNAs that interact with worm-specific AGOs (WAGOs) to direct gene silencing. ERGO-1 targets exhibit a non-random distribution in the genome and appear to include many gene duplications, suggesting that this pathway may control over-expression resulting from gene expansion. 8 samples examined. Small RNA libraries generated from: C. elegans animals.

Characterization of RNAi genes and their impact on sRNA biogenesis, growth and development of the rice blast fungus, Magnaporthe oryzae

Project description:RNAi is a conserved mechanism in eukaryotic organisms and has been the subject of recent attention pertaining to many animal and plant models. But research related to fungal systems is limited, especially in plant pathogenic models. The present study was undertaken to examine the involvement of RNAi components on the biogenesis of small RNAs and their impact on growth and pathogenicity of the plant pathogenic model organism Magnaporthe oryzae. Through genetic and genomic analyses, we demonstrate that an individual Dicer, an RdRP and an Argonaute are essential for the generation of sRNAs. Collectively, they are involved in biogenesis of sRNAs matching to coding regions, repeats and intergenic regions. The loss of a particular Argonaute made the fungus less virulent on barley leaves and was also essential for sRNA production. Furthermore, one specific RdRP that was not essential to sRNA generation nonetheless reduced fungal virulence. In total, ten deletion mutants were constructed in each of the putative sRNA-generating genes, as well as a double deletion mutant in the two Dicers, and comparison of sRNA and RNA-seq profiles of each mutant yielded new insights into the involvement of sRNAs in transcriptional regulation and intergenic regions in M. oryzae. Together, these data support that RNAi machinery in M. oryzae is not only involved in generation of sRNAs, but is involved in regulating various developmental processes including fungal growth and virulence.

Differentially expressed small RNAs in Arabidopsis galls formed by Meloidogyne javanica

Project description:Root-knot nematodes (RKNs) induce inside the vascular cylinder the giant cells (GCs) imbibed into a gall. Gene-repression in early developing GCs could be facilitated by small RNAs (sRNA) as miRNAs. 24nt-sRNAs, rasiRNAs and 21-22nt-sRNAs can also mediate epigenetic mechanisms. Three sRNA libraries from 3dpi galls and three from uninfected root segments were sequenced following Illumina-Solexa technology.

Functional characterization of Arabidopsis ARGONAUTE 3 in reproductive tissue

Project description:Arabidopsis encodes ten ARGONAUTE (AGO) effectors of RNA silencing, canonically loaded with either 21-22nt small RNAs (sRNA) to mediate post-transcriptional-gene-silencing (PTGS) or 24nt sRNAs to promote RNA-directed-DNA-methylation. Using full-locus constructs, we characterized the expression, biochemical properties, and possible modes of action of AGO3. Although AGO3 arose from a recent duplication at the AGO2 locus, their expression differs drastically, with AGO3 prevailing in aerial vascular terminations and specifically in chalazal seed integuments; accordingly, AGO3 down-regulation alters gene expression in siliques. Similar to AGO2, AGO3 binds sRNAs with a strong 5’-adenosine bias, but unlike most Arabidopsis AGOs - AGO2 included - it binds efficiently both 24nt and 21nt sRNAs. AGO3 immuno precipitation experiments in siliques revealed that these sRNAs mostly associate to genes and intergenic regions and not to canonical AGO targets, such as transposable elements. AGO3 localizes to the cytoplasm and co-fractionates with polysomes to possibly mediate PTGS via translation inhibition.

Comprehensive Analysis of RDR1/2/6-independent Small RNAs in Arabidopsis thaliana

Project description:Plant small RNAs (sRNAs) regulate key physiological mechanisms through post-transcriptional and transcriptional silencing of gene expression. sRNAs fall into two major categories: those that are reliant on RNA Dependent RNA Polymerases (RDRs) for biogenesis and those that aren’t. Known RDR-dependent sRNAs include phased and repeat-associated short interfering RNAs, while known RDR-independent sRNAs are primarily microRNAs (miRNAs) and other hairpin-derived sRNAs. In this study, we produced and analyzed sRNA-seq libraries produced from rdr1/rdr2/rdr6 triple mutant plants. We found 58 previously annotated MIRNA loci that were dependent on RDR function, casting doubt on their classification as MIRNAs. We also found 38 RDR-independent sRNA clusters that were not MIRNAs or otherwise hairpin-derived. These 38 sRNA loci have novel biogenesis mechanisms, and frequently arise from protein-coding genes. Altogether, our analysis suggests that these 38 sRNA loci represent one or more new types of sRNA loci in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Distinct phases of siRNA synthesis in an endogenous RNAi pathway in C. elegans soma

Project description:Endogenous RNA-directed RNA polymerases (RdRPs) are cellular components capable of synthesizing new complementary RNAs from existing RNA templates. We present evidence for successive engagement of two different RdRPs in an endogenous siRNA-based mechanism targeting specific mRNAs in C. elegans soma. In the initiation stage of this process, a group of mRNA species are chosen as targets for downregulation, leading to accumulation of rare 26-nt 5'-phosphorylated antisense RNAs that depend on the RdRP homolog RRF-3, the argonaute ERGO-1, DICER, and a series of associated (ERI) factors. This primary process leads to production of a much more abundant class of 22-nt antisense RNAs, dependent on a secondary RdRP (RRF-1) and associating with at least one distinct Argonaute (NRDE-3). The requirement for two RdRP/Argonaute combinations and initiation by a rare class of uniquely-structured siRNAs in this pathway illustrate the caution and flexibility used as biological systems exploit the physiological copying of RNA.

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.
