Targeted site integration in plants using a transposon system [Amplicon]

ABSTRACT: Genome editing tools with high precision are key to develop improved crops but current technologies to place new DNA into specific locations in plant genomes are low frequency and error-prone. Transposable elements (TEs) evolved to insert their DNA seamlessly into genomes, albeit in a quasi-random pattern. We developed a genome engineering tool that controls the TE insertion site and subsequently the delivery of any cargo attached to this TE. Using our tool, we demonstrated sequence-specific targeted delivery (guided by the CRISPR gRNA) of enhancers, an open reading frame and gene expression cassette into the genome of the model plant Arabidopsis, and we translated this technology to the crop soybean. We have engineered a ‘junk’ TE into a useful and accessible toolkit that enables the sequence-specific targeting of custom DNA into plant genomes.

Detection of Active Transposable Elements using Mobilome-seq on Poplar WT and ddm1 meristems in water stress conditions

Project description:Long time considered as « junk DNA », the evolutive force of transposable elements (TEs) is now well established and TEs contribute strongly to eukaryote genome plasticity. However, it is difficult to fully characterize the mobile part of a genome, or active mobilome, and tracking TE activity remains challenging. He we have applied the detection of extrachromosomal circular DNA (mobilome-seq) as a diagnostic for plant TE activity on Poplar mersitems from WT and ddm1 RNAi plants grown in normal or hydric stress conditions.

The application of a reverse transcriptase inhibitor suppresses LTR retrotransposon mobilization in plants [RNA-seq]

Project description:Recently developed methods applied to plant material, for example tissue culture during plant transformation, can induce genome instability by activating uncontrolled mobilization of LTR retrotransposons (LTR-TEs), the most abundant class of mobile genetic elements in plant genomes. Here we tested the use of Reverse Transcriptase inhibitors to avoid LTR-TE mobilization in plants. We demonstrated that the application of the drug Tenofovir in systems with high LTR-TE activity, like Arabidopsis and rice, allows generation of plants free from LTR-TE insertions without interfering with their development. We propose the use of Tenofovir as a new tool to both study LTR-TE transposition and to regenerate more genetically stable plant lines from tissue culture.

Transposable elements (TEs) contribute to stress-related long intergenic noncoding RNAs in Plants (II)

Project description:Long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) are widespread in cellular organisms, however, the origins and functions of many lincRNAs remain to be explored. Transposable elements (TEs) are widely distributed in many eukaryotic genomes, and often account for large fractions of plant and animal genomes. By using strand-specific RNA sequencing, we profiled the expression patterns of lincRNAs in Arabidopsis, rice and maize, and identified TE-associated lincRNAs (TE-lincRNAs). Stress regulation of some TE-lincRNAs was observed in Arabidopsis. Our findings indicate that TE-associated lincRNAs potentially play important roles in plant abiotic stress responses. Moreover, in the Arabidopsis chromatin remodelling mutant ddm1 that has an altered chromatin state, novel lincRNAs including TE-lincRNAs were generated. The novel lincRNAs were inherited in the subsequent generations in the wild type background, suggesting that lincRNAs could act as an adaptive reservoir in eukaryotes.

Targeted amplicon sequencing data from specified genomic amplicons

Project description:Purpose: The goals of this study are to introduce a new genome editing tool, which has the higher editing scope than the original genome editing tools. Methods: First, we transfected PE2 (the original prime editing tool, prime editor2), PE3 (the original prime editing tool, prime editor3) and HOPE (the new tool we developed in this study) vectors into human cells, respectively. Then, we harvested the genomic DNA form the transfected cells and amplified the specified amplicons. Finally, we used targeted amplicon sequencing approach to compare the editing efficiency and presion of the new tool with the original reported tools. Results: Our new genome editing tool improves the editing efficiency of prime editing without increasing the risk of undesired indels formation. Conclusions: We deleveped a new genome editing tool to increase the likelihood of successful gene engineering.

RNA interference-independent reprogramming of DNA methylation in Arabidopsis

Project description:DNA methylation is important for silencing transposable elements (TEs) in diverse eukaryotes including plants. In plant genomes, TEs are heavily methylated at cytosines of both CG and non-CG (or CH, where H can be A, T, or C) contexts. The role of RNA interference (RNAi) in establishing TE-specific DNA methylation has been extensively studied, although the significance of RNAi-independent pathways in DNA-methylation reprograming remains unexplored. Here, we directly investigated transgenerational de novo DNA methylation of TEs after the loss of DNA methylation. Our analyses identified very potent and precise RNAi-independent pathways for recovering CH methylation in most TE genes, or coding regions within TEs. Characterization of a small subset of TE genes that did not show CH methylation recovery revealed the impacts of H3K9 demethylation and replacement of histone H2A variants. These chromatin components are conserved between plants and animals and may contribute to chromatin reprograming in a conserved manner.

The domesticated transposase ALP2 mediates formation of a novel Polycomb protein complex by direct interaction with MSI1, a core subunit of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2)

Project description:A large fraction of plant genomes is composed of transposable elements (TE), which provide a potential source of novel genes through “domestication” – the process whereby the proteins encoded by TE diverge in sequence, lose their ability to catalyse transposition and instead acquire novel functions for their hosts. In Arabidopsis, ANTAGONIST OF LIKE HETEROCHROMATIN PROTEIN 1 (ALP1) arose by domestication of the nuclease component of Harbinger class TE and acquired a new function as a component of POLYCOMB REPRESSIVE COMPLEX 2 (PRC2), a histone H3K27me3 methyltransferase involved in regulation of host genes and in some cases TE. It was not clear how ALP1 associated with PRC2, nor what the functional consequence was. Here, we identify ALP2 genetically as a suppressor of Polycomb-group (PcG) mutant phenotypes and show that it arose from the second, DNA binding component of Harbinger transposases. Molecular analysis of PcG compromised backgrounds reveals that ALP genes oppose silencing and H3K27me3 deposition at key PcG target genes. Proteomic analysis reveals that ALP1 and ALP2 are components of a variant PRC2 complex that contains the four core components but lacks plant-specific accessory components such as the H3K27me3 reader LIKE HETEROCHROMATION PROTEIN 1 (LHP1). We show that the N-terminus of ALP2 interacts directly with ALP1, whereas the C-terminus of ALP2 interacts with MULTICOPY SUPPRESSOR OF IRA1 (MSI1), a core component of PRC2. Proteomic analysis reveals that in alp2 mutant backgrounds ALP1 protein no longer associates with PRC2, consistent with a role for ALP2 in recruitment of ALP1. We suggest that the propensity of Harbinger TE to insert in gene-rich regions of the genome, together with the modular two component nature of their transposases, has predisposed them for domestication and incorporation into chromatin modifying complexes.

Transcriptional activity and epigenetic regulation of transposable element in the symbiotic fungus Rhizophagus irregularis

Project description:Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form mutualistic relationships with most land plant species. AM fungi have long been considered as ancient asexuals. Long-term clonal evolution would be remarkable for a eukaryotic lineage and suggests the importance of alternative mechanisms to promote genetic variability facilitating adaptation. Here, we assessed the potential of transposable elements (TEs) for generating genomic diversity. The dynamic expression of TEs during Rhizophagus irregularis spore development suggests ongoing TE activity. We find Mutator-like elements located near genes belonging to highly expanded gene families. Characterising the epigenomic status of R. irregularis provides evidence of DNA methylation and small RNA production occurring at TE loci. Our results support a potential role for TEs in shaping the genome, and roles for DNA methylation and small RNA-mediated silencing in regulating TEs. A well-controlled balance between TE activity and repression may therefore contribute to genome evolution in AM fungi.
