Circadian regulation of genes contributed by rapid RNA turnover in tomato

ABSTRACT: Large number of genes whose expression cycles are controlled by circadian rhythm. Circadian period and phase changes were positively selected during domestication in tomato. However, the effect of RNA metabolism on circadian gene oscillations remains largely unclear. In this study, we performed transcriptome and degradome termed genome-wide mapping of uncapped and cleavage transcripts (GMUCT) in tomato leaves at 6 time points in one circadian period. Time-series profiling of RNA-seq data revealed 9342 circadian genes, whose functions enriched in multiple types of metabolic process including RNA metabolism. Proportion Uncapped (PU) metric calculated with normalized GMUCT/RNAseq ratio was used to measure general level of RNA degradation. Using this metric, we found 3885 genes whose PU was rhythmically changed, suggesting they were regulated by circadian RNA degradation. These genes with rhythmic PU were significantly enriched in the gene category with high coordination between mRNA abundance oscillation and PU dynamics. Additionally, we identified 2140 genes undergoing co-translational RNA decay (CTRD) with enriched translational termination stalling of 5’ Phosphate end reads. Remarkably, circadian mRNAs with large amplitude tent to be co-translationally decayed. Finally, we found several genes like miR172-targeted AP2, miR398-targeted CSD2 and miR159-targeted MYB125 whose miRNA cleavage efficiency also oscillated in circadian manner. Taken together, these results uncovered the vital roles of RNA metabolism including general RNA degradation, CTRD and miRNA cleavage efficiency in modulating circadian oscillations of RNA abundance.

Project description:We were interested in identifying targets of novel putative miRNAs we identified from small RNA sequencing libraries of Arabidopsis shoots. The small RNA (smRNA) sequencing libraries were made to identify changes in abundance of specific smRNAs in response to developmental transitions in Arabidopsis thaliana shoots, with special focus on vegetative phase change. We specifically wanted to separate the temporal changes in gene expression that result from vegetative phase change and those from flowering. Because of the close timing between the juvenile-to-adult and adult-to-reproductive developmental transitions in Arabidopsis grown under long day conditions, we used the late-flowering genotype FRI;FLC developed by the lab of Richard Amasino by introgressing the FRI allele from Sf-2 into the Col-0 genetic background, which is fri;FLC. For the early flowering genotype, we used FRI;flc-3, also developed by the Amasino lab by EMS-mutagenizing FRI;FLC, identifying early flowering mutants, and backcrossing multiple times to eliminate other EMS-induced mutations. The onset of vegetative phase change in FRI;FLC and FRI;flc-3 under our growth conditions was identical, but the progression was slower in FRI;FLC. By sequencing small RNAs from shoot apices at different time points and fully-expanded leaves at different positions on the shoot and comparing the results between the two genotypes, we were able to obtain a clear picture of changes in small RNA abundance in response to vegetative phase change and flowering in Arabidopsis. We then used the remaining RNA to make genome-wide mapping of uncapped and cleaved transcripts (GMUCT) 2.0 libraries of a subset of our samples. GMUCT 2.0 allows you to identify RNAs that are 1) uncapped and in the process of 5’->3’ exonuclease degradation and 2) miRNA and siRNA-mediated cleavage products. We wanted to use these GMUCT 2.0 libraries to identify targets of novel putative miRNAs discovered by our smRNA sequencing, thereby supporting the idea that these novel putative miRNAs are in fact functional.

Project description:Eukaryotic circadian clocks include transcriptional/translational feedback loops that drive 24-hour rhythms of transcription.These transcriptional rhythms underlie oscillations of protein abundance, thereby mediating circadian rhythms of behavior, physiology, and metabolism. Numerous studies over the last decade have employed microarrays to profile circadian transcriptional rhythms in various organisms and tissues. Here we use RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) to profile the circadian transcriptome of *Drosophila melanogaster* brain from wild-type and *period*-null clock-defective animals. We identify several hundred transcripts whose abundance oscillates with 24-hour periods, including a number of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) that were not identified in previous microarray studies. Of particular interest are *U snoRNA host genes* (*Uhgs*), a family of cycling ncRNAs that encode the precursors of over 50 box C/D snoRNAs, key regulators of ribosomal biogenesis. Transcriptional profiling at the level of individual exons reveals alternative splice isoforms for many genes whose relative abundances are regulated by either *period* or circadian time, although the effect of circadian time is muted in comparison to that of *period*. Interestingly, *period* loss-of-function significantly alters the frequency of RNA editing at a number of editing sites, suggesting an unexpected link between a key circadian gene and RNA editing. We also identify tens of thousands of novel splicing events beyond those previously annotated by the modENCODE consortium, including several that affect key circadian genes. These studies demonstrate extensive circadian control of ncRNA expression, reveal the extent of clock control of alternative splicing and RNA editing, and provide a novel, genome-wide map of splicing in *Drosophila* brain. RNA-Seq transcriptional profiling of Drosophila brains from wildtype and period loss-of-function (per0) flies with time points taken over two days in constant darkness. Time points at CT24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, and 68. 10-12 brains per time point.
