MPK4 mediated phosphorylation of PIF4 controls thermosensing by regulation of H2A.Z deposition in Arabidopsis

ABSTRACT: Plants have the ability to perceive a slight upsurge in ambient temperature and respond by undergoing morphological changes, such as elongated hypocotyls and early flowering. The dynamic functioning of PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTOR4 (PIF4) in thermomorphogenesis has been well established, although the regulatory pathway involved in thermosensing is not deciphered completely. In our study, we demonstrate that an increase in temperature from 22˚C to 28˚C induces the phosphorylation of PIF4 by MITOGEN-ACTIVATED PROTEIN KINASE 4 (MPK4) which shows high expression and activation at 28˚C. Phosphorylated PIF4 represses the expression of ACTIN-RELATED PROTEIN 6 (ARP6) that is required for mediating histone variant H2A.Z deposition at its target gene loci. We demonstrate that variation of ARP6 expression in PIF4 phosphor -null and phosphor-mimetic seedlings affects hypocotyl growth and flowering at 22˚C and 28˚C. Further, we show that change in ARP6 expression affects H2A.Z deposition at the loci of genes involved in hypocotyl elongation using PIF4 phosphor -null and phosphor-mimetic seedlings. Interestingly, the expression of MPK4 is also controlled by H2A.Z deposition in temperature dependent manner. Taken together, our findings highlight the cumulative molecular interplay between MPK4, PIF4, and chromatin modification by ARP6-mediated H2A.Z deposition as a regulatory mechanism of thermosensing.

Coordinated histone variant H2A.Z eviction and H3.3 deposition control plant thermomorphogenesis [RNA-seq I]

Project description:Plants can sense temperature changes and adjust their development and morphology accordingly in a process called thermomorphogenesis. This phenotypic plasticity implies complex mechanisms regulating gene expression reprogramming in response to environmental alteration. Histone variants contribute to the chromatin dynamics and transcriptional control, yet how their deposition/eviction modulates transcriptional changes induced by environmental cues remains elusive. In Arabidopsis thaliana, temperature elevation-induced transcriptional activation at thermo-responsive genes entails the chromatin eviction of a histone variant H2A.Z by INO80, which is recruited to these loci via interacting with a key thermomorphogenesis regulator PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTOR 4 (PIF4). Here, we show that both INO80 and the deposition chaperones of another histone variant H3.3 associate with EARLY FLOWERING7 (ELF7), a critical component of the transcription elongation factor polymerase-associated factor 1 complex (PAF1c). H3.3 promotes thermomorphogenesis and the high temperature-enhanced RNA Pol II transcription at PIF4 targets, and it is broadly required for the H2A.Z removal-induced gene activation. Reciprocally, INO80 and ELF7 regulate H3.3 deposition, and are necessary for the high temperature-induced H3.3 enrichment at PIF4 targets. Our findings demonstrate close coordination between H2A.Z eviction and H3.3 deposition in gene activation induced by high temperature, and pinpoint the importance of histone variants dynamics in transcriptional regulation.

B-box family proteins BBX18 and BBX23 control thermoresponsive hypocotyl growth in Arabidopsis

Project description:Plants coordinate their growth and developmental programs with various endogenous signals and environmental challenges such as seasonal and diurnal temperature fluctuations. The bHLH transcription factor PIF4 plays critical roles in thermoresponsive hypocotyl growth in Arabidopsis, and the evening complex component ELF3 negatively regulates PIF4's activity for downstream gene expression and hypocotyl elongation at elevated temperature. However, how warm temperature signal is transmitted to ELF3 is not known. Here, we report the identification of two B-Box protein BBX18/BBX23 as new regulators of thermomorphogenesis in Arabidopsis. Mutations of BBX18/BBX23 confer reduced thermoresponsive hypocotyl elongation. Overexpression of BBX18 enhances the sensitivity of hypocotyl growth to elevated temperature, which is dependent on the function of PIF4 and RING E3 ligase COP1, respectively. Both BBX18 and BBX23 interact with ELF3 or COP1, relegating the protein abundance of ELF3 at warm temperature. Further, the expression of multiple thermoresponsive genes is impaired in both the PIF4 single mutant and BBX18/BBX23 double mutant. In addition, both the transcription and protein levels of BBX18/BBX23 are up-regulated by elevated ambient temperature. Thus, our findings reveal the important roles of B-Box proteins in plant thermomorphogenesis, and build a new connection from warm temperature information to ELF3 and its downstream signaling components.

The epidermis coordinates thermoresponsive growth through the phyB-PIF4-auxin pathway

Project description:In plants, an elevation in ambient temperature induces morphological changes including elongation hypocotyls, considered to be adaptive responses to alleviate the heat-induced damages. The high temperature-induced morphological changes are called thermomorphogenesis, which is predominantly regulated by a bHLH transcription factor PIF4. Although PIF4 is expressed in all aerial tissues including the epidermis, mesophyll, and vascular bundle, its tissue-specific functions in thermomorphogenesis are not known. Here, we found that epidermis-specific expression of PIF4 induced constitutive long hypocotyls, while vasculature-specific expression of PIF4 had no effect on hypocotyl growth. Consistently, RNA-Seq and qRT-PCR analyses revealed that auxin responsive genes and growth-related genes were highly activated by epidermal, but not by vascular, PIF4. The epidermal, but not vascular, inactivation of PIF4 by a PIF4 artificial microRNA or a dominant negative form of PIF4 suppressed thermoresponsive gene expression and hypocotyl growth. Additionally, both the block of epidermal auxin signaling and the epidermal overexpression of a thermosensor phytochrome B (phyB) inhibited thermoresponsive growth, indicating that epidermal PIF4-auxin pathway are essential for the temperature responses. We further show that epidermal PIF4 is increased by high temperatures mainly through the transcriptional activation of PIF4. Taken together, our study demonstrates that the epidermis regulates thermoresponsive growth through the phyB-PIF4-auxin pathway.

Arabidopsis SWR1-associated protein methyl-CpG-binding domain 9 is required for histone H2A.Z deposition. [ChIPSeq_MBD9]

Project description:Deposition of histone variant H2A.Z by the SWR1 chromatin-remodeling complex is critical for the appropriate expression of many genes in eukaryotes, yet, despite its importance, the composition of the Arabidopsis SWR1 complex has not been thoroughly analyzed. Here we have identified the interacting partners of a conserved Arabidopsis SWR1 subunit, actin-related protein 6 (ARP6). We isolated 9 predicted components, identifying subunits implicated in histone acetylation and interacting partners implicated in chromatin biology. We found that the methyl-CpG-binding domain 9 (MBD9) subunit functioned synergistically with ARP6 to control flowering time. MBD9, in combination with ARP6, was involved in the SWR1-mediated incorporation of the majority of H2A.Z. MBD6 was further required for deposition of H2A.Z at a distinct subset of loci. MBD9 was preferentially bound to nucleosome-depleted regions at the 5’ of genes containing high levels of activating histone marks. Our data suggests a model for MBD9 in recruiting the SWR1 complex to open chromatin of actively transcribing genes.
