Project description:DCL1 and HYL1 are the core components of miRNA biogenesis machinery. hyl1-null mutants accumulate low levels of miRNAs and cause pleiotropic morphological phenotypes. Here, we reported that we identified 5 new alleles of DCL1 which are able to suppress the hyl1 morphological phenotypes and restore the miRNA accumulation level in hyl1 plants. These new alleles are located in the helicase and RNaseIIIa domains of DCL1, highlighting the critical functions of these domains. Biochemical analyses of these suppressors indicated that they process pri-miRNA more efficiently, with both higher Kcat and lower Km values. In addition, we investigated the functions of the DCL1 helicase domain. Our results indicated that the helicase domain is able to modulate the DCL1 processing activities. Based on these results, we proposed that HYL1 might exert its function through interaction with the DCL1 helicase domain. Small RNA sequencing from hyl1 and select hyl1/dcl1 suppressor mutants confirms thats suppression of the hyl1 phenotype is due to an increase in the accumulation, but not the precision, of miRNAs in the suppressor mutants. Wild-type, hyl1-2, hyl1-2/dcl1-20, and hyl1-2/dcl1-21 plants were sampled from both rosette leaves and flowers.

Project description:microRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in the regulation of gene expression. In Arabidopsis, mature miRNAs are processed from primary miRNA transcripts (pri-miRNAs) by nuclear HYL1/SE/DCL1 complexes that form Dicing bodies (D-bodies). Here we report that a RNA-binding protein MOS2 bound to pri-miRNAs and was required for their efficient processing. MOS2 did not interact with HYL1, SE, and DCL1 and was not localized in D-bodies. Interestingly, in the absence of MOS2, the recruitment of pri-miRNAs by HYL1 was greatly reduced and the localization of HYL1 in D-bodies was compromised. These data suggest that MOS2 facilitates pri-miRNA processing through facilitating the recruitment of pri-miRNAs by the Dicing complexes.

Project description:Light and microRNAs (miRNAs) are key external and internal signals for plant development respectively. However the relationship between light signaling and miRNA biogenesis pathways remains unknown. Here we found that miRNA processer DCL1/HYL1 interacts with a basic helix–loop–helix (bHLH) transcription factor, phytochrome-interacting factor 4 (PIF4), which mediates the destabilization of DCL1 during dark-red light transition. PIF4 acts as a transcription factor for some miRNA genes and is necessary for the proper accumulation of miRNAs. DCL1/HYL1 and mature miRNAs play roles in the regulation of plant hypocotyl growth. These results uncovered a previously unknown crosstalk between miRNA biogenesis and red light signaling through the PIF4-dependent regulation of miRNA transcription and processing to affect red light-directed plant photomorhogenesis.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate different aspects of plant development by post-transcriptional regulation of target genes. In Arabidopsis, DICER-LIKE 1 (DCL1) processes miRNA precursors (pri-miRNAs) to miRNA duplexes, which associate with ARGONAUTE 1 (AGO1). AGO1 together with the miRNA guide strand binds complementary RNA sequences within target mRNAs. Additional proteins act in concert with DCL1 (e.g. HYL1 and SERRATE) and AGO1, respectively, to facilitate efficient and precise pri-miRNA processing and loading into the effector protein. Here, we show that RECEPTOR OF ACTIVATED C KINASE 1 (RACK1) is a novel component of the Arabidopsis miRNA pathway. RACK1 is a seven-bladed WD-repeat protein that has previously been shown to act as a scaffold protein mediating multiple simultaneous protein-protein interactions. Our molecular analyses demonstrate that RACK1 function is required for controlling miRNA-mediated gene expression. rack1 mutants contain only low levels of mature miRNAs without affecting the first step of pri-miRNA processing. Physical and genetic interaction studies revealed that RACK1 acts in concert with AGO1 and also interacts with a SERRATE, a component of the miRNA processing machinery. These results suggest that RACK1 also functions as a scaffold protein in the miRNA pathway to orchestrates miRNA maturation steps after the initial events of pri-miRNA processing. sequencing of small RNAs from WT and rack1abc mutants (two biological replicates each)

Project description:The processing of Arabidopsis thaliana microRNAs (miRNAs) from longer primary transcripts (pri-miRNAs) requires the activity of several proteins, including DICER-LIKE1 (DCL1), the double stranded RNA binding protein HYPONASTIC LEAVES1 (HYL1), and the zinc finger protein SERRATE (SE). It has been noted before that the morphological appearance of weak se mutants is reminiscent of plants with mutations in ABH1/CBP80 and CBP20, which encode the two subunits of the nuclear cap-binding complex. We report that, like SE, the cap-binding complex is necessary for proper processing of pri-miRNAs. Inactivation of either ABH1/CBP80 or CBP20 results in decreased levels of mature miRNAs accompanied by increased levels of pri-miRNAs. Whole genome tiling array analyses reveal that se, abh1/cbp80 and cbp20 mutants also share similar pre-mRNA splicing defects, leading to the accumulation of many partially spliced transcripts. This is unlikely to be an indirect consequence of improper miRNA processing or other mRNA turnover pathways, since introns retained in se, abh1/cbp80 and cbp20 mutants are not affected by mutations in other genes required for miRNA processing or for non-sense-mediated mRNA decay. Taken together, our results uncover dual roles in splicing and miRNA processing that distinguish SE and the cap-binding complex from specialized miRNA processing factors such as DCL1 and HYL1.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate plant development by post-transcriptional regulation of target genes. In Arabidopsis thaliana, DCL1 processes precursors (pri-miRNAs) to miRNA duplexes, which associate with AGO1. Additional proteins act in concert with DCL1 (e.g. HYL1 and SERRATE) or AGO1, respectively, to facilitate efficient and precise pri-miRNA processing and miRNA loading. In this study, we show that the accumulation of plant microRNAs depends on RECEPTOR FOR ACTIVATED C KINASE 1 (RACK1), a scaffold protein found in all higher eukaryotes. miRNA levels are reduced in rack1 mutants and our data suggest that RACK1 affects the microRNA pathway via several distinct mechanisms involving direct interactions with known microRNA factors: RACK1 ensures the accumulation and processing of some pri-miRNAs, directly interacts with SERRATE and is part of an AGO1 complex. As a result, mutations in RACK1 lead to misregulation of miRNA target genes, which is important for ABA responses and phyllotaxy. In conclusion, our study discovered complex functioning of RACK1 proteins in the Arabidopsis miRNA pathway, which are important for miRNA production and therefore plant development.

Project description:Protein phosphatase 4 (PP4) is a highly conserved serine/threonine protein phosphatase in yeast, plants, and animals. The composition and functions of the plant PP4 are poorly understood. Here, we uncovered previously unsuspected complexity of Arabidopsis PP4 and identified the composition of one form of PP4 containing the regulatory subunit PP4R3A. We showed that PP4R3A, together with one of two redundant catalytic subunit genes PPX1 and PPX2, promotes the biogenesis of microRNAs. PP4R3A is a chromatin-associated protein, interacts with RNA polymerase II (Pol II), and recruits Pol II to the promoters of MIR genes to promote their transcription. PP4R3A probably also promotes the cotranscriptional processing of miRNA precursors as it recruits the microprocessor component HYPONASTIC LEAVES1 (HYL1) to MIR genes and nuclear dicing bodies. Moreover, we showed that hundreds of introns exhibit splicing defects in pp4r3a mutants. Together, this study revealed a role of Arabidopsis PP4 in transcription and nuclear RNA metabolism.
