High-resolution translatome analysis reveals cortical cell programs during early soybean nodulation

ABSTRACT: The TRAP-seq process is dependent on the expression of a cell layer-specific His-FLAG-tagged ribosomal protein L18 (HF-GmRPL 18), which allows for the immunoprecipitation of ribosomes with their corresponding mRNA to produce tissue-specific translatomes (Zanetti et al., 2005; Castro‐Guerrero et al., 2016).To capture events occurring in the cortex during the early stages of infection and initial cortical cell divisions, we inoculated plants and performed a time-course collection of root samples at 72- and 96-hour post inoculation (hpi) followed by TRAP-seq. Immunoblot analysis indicated that an adequate amount of protein was present for immunoprecipitation. To study rhizobial-induced transcriptional changes in the cortex during early nodule development, we identified a soybean promoter (Glyma.18g53890, Figure 1B) expressed exclusively in the cortex cells using LCM (Kerk et al., 2003; Casson et al., 2008) followed by transcriptional analysis. The cortex-specific promoter was used to drive the expression of GmRPL18 in soybean hairy roots. To capture events occurring in the cortex during the early stages of infection and initial cortical cell divisions, we inoculated plants and performed a time-course collection of root samples at 72- and 96-hour post inoculation (hpi) followed by TRAP-seq. Immunoblot analysis indicated that an adequate amount of protein was present for immunoprecipitation (Figure 1C). Taken together, time-course cortex-specific TRAP-seq was established for studying of early nodule development in soybean.
Project description:Local protein synthesis has not been believed to occur in adult forebrain axons. We have used translating ribosome affinity purification (TRAP) to capture mRNA from the distal amygdaloid projections of auditory cortical axons. An eYFP-tagged ribosomal protein (rpL10a) was expressed in the adult rat auditory cortex via a lentiviral vector, and rats were given Pavlovian fear conditioning or control training two hours before collection of auditory cortex and amygdala. The eYFP tag alone was used as an IP control. Polysome extraction and eYFP immunoprecipitation were performed according to published protocols (Heiman et al., 2008 Cell 135:78; Kratz et al. 2014 Genome Res. 24:1396).
Project description:To discover RBPs with increased insolubility in a human ALS model, we applied a well established dual-SMAD inhibition-based protocol (Fang et al., 2019; Markmiller et al., 2021; Markmiller et al., 2018; Martinez et al., 2016) to generate iPSC-MN from six control iPSC lines, from four iPSC lines originating from two sALS patients, and from two iPSC lines originating from fALS patients with pathogenic variants in the TARDBP gene (Table S1; Figure S1A). No difference in differentiation capacity was observed (Figure S1B-G), resulting in average 40% ISL1+ MN (Figures S1G), comparable to numbers observed in large scale MN differentation studies (Baxi et al., 2022). The susceptibility of ALS MN to sodium arsenite-induced stress was not changed (Figure S1H and I). Next, we asked which proteins exhibit an increased insolubility in our ALS iPSC-MN. We fractioned iPSC- MN by lysis in radio-immunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) buffer, followed by ultracentrifugation and solubilization of RIPA insoluble proteins in urea buffer. The ultracentrifugation-cleared RIPA insoluble protein fraction is widely used to study protein insolubility in the context of neurodegeneration (Nuber et al., 2013; Walker et al., 2015). Label-free mass spectrometry of the insoluble protein fraction was utilized to identify proteins that are insoluble in sALS and fALS, relative to control iPSC-MNs (Figure 1A). Gene ontology (GO) analysis of the 100 proteins (top 2.9% of all detected proteins) with the highest label free quantification (LFQ) intensities in controls (Figure S1J) revealed that ‘unfolded protein binding’ (corrected P = 7.95 x 10-16) and ‘structural constituent of cytoskeleton’ (corrected P = 1.47 x 10-10) were among the 10 most significantly enriched GO terms, indicating enrichment of insoluble proteins (Figure S1K). Principle component analysis of the insoluble fractions did not distinguish ALS from control samples, suggesting that the overall insoluble proteome is not changed (Figure S1L). At threshold P ≤ 0.05 (Welch’s t-test) and fold change ≥ 1.5, we identified 88 proteins enriched in the insoluble fraction in ALS samples relative to control (Figure 1B). When the sample labels were randomly shuffled, we observed an average of 7.5 proteins (~12-fold lower) as differentially enriched at the same statistical thresholds, indicative of an ALS-specific protein insolubility pattern (Figure 1C). The 88 candidate proteins included cytoskeletal components and motor proteins, functional categories associated with prominent ALS in vitro phenotypes (Akiyama et al., 2019; Egawa et al., 2012; Fazal et al., 2021; Guo et al., 2017; Kreiter et al., 2018) (Figure 1D). Notably, 5 RBPs, NOVA1, ELAVL4, FXR2, RBFOX2, and RBFOX3 were also enriched (Figure 1D). The NOVA1 paralog NOVA2 was significantly enriched (P = 0.03) but did not meet our enrichment threshold (fold change = 1.36). Interestingly, insoluble TDP-43 protein was not significantly different in ALS and control (P = 0.98; fold change = 0.97). Western blot analysis confirmed the increase in insolubility of NOVA1, NOVA2, ELAVL4, RBFOX2 and RBFOX3 (Figure 1E and 1F). The soluble protein levels of NOVA1 and NOVA2 were also increased (Figure 1F). In conclusion, we identified 5 RBPs with elevated insoluble protein levels of ALS-iPSC-MNs.

Project description:Phosphorus (P) deficiency is a major limitation for legume crop production. Although overall adaptations of plant roots to P deficiency have been extensively studied, fragmentary information is available in regards to root nodule responses to P deficiency. In this study, genome wide transcriptome analysis was conducted using RNA-seq analysis to investigate molecular mechanisms underlying soybean (Glycine max) nodule adaptation to phosphate (Pi) starvation. Phosphorus deficiency significantly decreased soybean nodule growth and nitrogenase activity. Nodule Pi concentrations declined by 49% in response to P deficiency, but this was well below the 87% and 88% decreases observed in shoots and roots, respectively. Nodule transcript profiling revealed that a total of 2,055 genes exhibited differential expression patterns between Pi sufficient and deficient conditions. A set of DEGs appeared to be involved in maintaining Pi homeostasis in soybean nodules, including 8 Pi transporters (PTs), 8 proteins containing the SYG1/PHO81/XPR1 domain (SPXs), and 16 purple acid phosphatases (PAPs). The results suggest that a complex transcriptional regulatory network participates in soybean nodule adaption to Pi starvation, most notable a Pi signaling pathway specifically involved in maintaining Pi homeostasis in nodules.

Project description:Post-transcriptional regulation including mRNA binding to ribosomes plays an important role in determining cell-type-specific gene expression patterns. Here, we applied an approach that profiles cell-type-specific mRNAs. The Translating Ribosome Affinity Purification method (TRAP; Heiman et al., Cell, 2008 and Doyle et al., Cell, 2008) was developed in mice and has been combined with the UAS/Gal4 system in Drosophila (Thomas et al., PLoS ONE, 2012). TRAP is a powerful method to find cell-type-specific differences at the level of the 'translatome' (Dougherty, Schmidt, Nakajima, & Heintz, Nucleic Acids Research, 2010). In parallel to published efforts, we developed and implemented the method for the fly and compared distinct head cell types and identified cell-type-specific transcript classes with neuronal (e.g. receptor-, neuropeptide- or hormone activity) or glial function (e.g. transporter activity). Neuronal TRAP genes are over-represented in the brain, larval CNS and thoracico-abdominal ganglion (Chintapalli, Wang, & Dow, Nature Genetics, 2007). Using cell-type-to-cell-type comparisons (e.g. neurons vs. glia), instead of a given cell population to the total (e.g. neurons vs. head), the differences could be identified with greater resolution. TRAP uncovered more neuronal genes compared to neuronal RNA polymerase II ChIP-seq data (Schauer et al., Cell Reports, 2013). Thus, TRAP data confirm the importance of post-transcriptional regulation in defining cell identity. TRAP is one of the best methods to reveal differential "omics" data among distinct cell types by profiling ribosome-bound mRNAs. TRAP is a promising tool to reveal cell-type-specific transcriptional and translational changes in a perturbed environment.
