Project description:This study examines how histone modification confers salt stress in Arabidopsis. The floral initiator SKB1 is found to mediate the plant’s response to salt stress by altering the methylation status of histone H4R3 and of the small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) LSM4, and thereby affecting the expression of stress-responsive genes. Total RNA was isolated with Trizol reagent (Invitrogen) from eleven11-day-old seedlings of the wild type and skb1-1 mutant without or with 200 mM NaCl for 6 hrs. 29k Arabidopsis Genome Array hybridization was carried out by CapitalBio Corporation (Beijing, China).

Project description:Distinct processes govern the transition from myometrial quiescence to activation during both term and preterm labor. We sought the specific gene sets responsible for initiating term and preterm labor, along with a core set of effector genes necessary for labor independent of gestational age and the underlying trigger. The Effector Gene Set consisted of 49 genes present in both preterm and term labor but absent from non-labor samples. 122 genes were specific to preterm labor (Preterm Initiator Set) and 229 to term labor (Term Initiator Set). The Term Initiator and the Effector Sets reflected predominantly inflammatory processes. Surprisingly, the Preterm Initiator Gene Set reflected molecular and biological events almost exclusive of inflammation. Preterm and term labor differ dramatically in their unique, initiator gene profiles, suggesting alternative pathways underlie these events. Inflammatory processes are ubiquitous to the Term Initiator and the Effector Gene Sets, supporting the idea term parturition is an inflammatory process. The absence of inflammatory processes in the Preterm Initiator Set suggests inflammation is secondary to processes triggering spontaneous preterm birth, and could explain the lack of therapeutic efficacy associated with anti inflammatory/antibiotic regimens. Keywords: myometrial gene expression, preterm versus term labor

Project description:Leaf senescence, the last step of leaf development which is important for plant’s fitness, proceeds with age but is modulated by various environmental stresses and hormones. Salt stress is one of the well-known environmental stresses that accelerate leaf senescence. However, the molecular mechanisms how the signal of salt stress is integrated into leaf senescence programs are still elusive. In this study, we characterized the function of an Arabidopsis APETALA 2/ETHYLENE RESPONSIVE FACTOR (AP2/ERF) family transcription factor, ERF34, in salt stress-induced leaf senescence. ERF34 was differentially expressed under leaf senescence-inducing conditions including age, dark, and high salt. ERF34 negatively regulated salt stress-induced leaf senescence as well as promoted salt stress tolerance at diverse developmental stages. Analysis of genome-wide targets of ERF34 revealed that the overexpression of ERF34 could alter salt-responsive gene expression. Moreover, ERF34 directly bound to the promoters of EARLY RESPONSIVE TO DEHYDRATION 10 and RESPONSE TO DESICCATION 29A and activated their expression. Our findings imply that ERF34 is a key regulator in the convergence of salt stress response with the regulatory programs of leaf senescence and is a potential candidate for crop improvement, particularly by enhancing salt stress tolerance.

Project description:Within a cell, protein-bound methionines can be oxidized by reactive oxygen species (ROS) or monooxygenases, and subsequently reduced by methionine sulfoxide reductases (Msrs). Methionine oxidation can result in structural damage or be the basis of functional regulation of enzymes. In addition to participating in redox reactions, methionines play an important role as the initial residue of translated proteins where they are commonly modified at their α-amine group by formylation or acetylation. Here, we investigated how formylation and acetylation of initiator methionines impact their propensity for oxidation and reduction. We show that in vitro, N-terminal methionine residues are particularly prone to chemical oxidation, and that their modification by formylation or acetylation greatly enhances their subsequent enzymatic reduction by MsrA and MsrB. Concordantly, in vivo ablation of methionyl-tRNA formyltransferase (MTF) in E. coli increases the prevalence of oxidized methionines within synthesized proteins. We show that oxidation of formylated initiator methionines is detrimental in part because it obstructs their ensuing de-formylation by peptide deformylase (PDF) and hydrolysis by methionyl aminopeptidase (MAP). Thus, by facilitating their reduction, formylation mitigates the misprocessing of oxidized initiator methionines.

Project description:Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins play important roles in the acclimation of plants to environmental stress. Lysine acetylation is a dynamic and reversible PTM, which can be removed by histone deacetylases. Here we investigated the role of lysine acetylation in the response of Arabidopsis leaves to one week of salt stress. A quantitative mass spectrometry analysis revealed an increase in lysine acetylation of several proteins from cytosol and plastids, which was accompanied by an altered HDAC activity in the salt-treated leaves. While activities of HDA14 and HDA15 were decreased upon salt stress, HDA5 showed a mild and HDA19 a strongly increased activity. Since HDA5 is a cytosolic-nuclear enzyme from the class II histone deacetylase family with yet unknown protein substrates, we performed a lysine acetylome analysis on hda5 mutants and characterized its substrate proteins. Next to histone H2B, the salt stress responsive transcription factor GT2L and the dehydration-related protein ERD7 were identified as HDA5 substrates. In addition, in protein-protein interaction studies HDA18 was discovered, among other interacting proteins, to work in a complex together with HDA5. Altogether this study revealed the substrate proteins of HDA5 and identified new lysine acetylation sites which are hyperacetylated upon salt stress. The identification of the specific histone deacetylase substrate proteins, apart from histones, will be important to unravel the acclimation response of Arabidopsis to salt stress and their role in plant physiology.

Project description:N-terminal acetylation (NTA) is one of the most abundant protein modifications in eukaryotes and is catalyzed in humans by seven Nα-acetyltransferases (NatA-F and NatH). Remarkably, the characterization of the plant Nat machinery and its biological relevance is still in its infancy, although NTA has gained recognition as key regulator of crucial processes like protein turnover, protein-protein interaction and protein targeting. In this study we combined in vitro assays, reverse genetics, quantitative N-terminomics, transcriptomics and physiological assays to characterize the Arabidopsis NatB complex. We show that the plant NatB catalytic (NAA20) and auxiliary subunit (NAA25) form a stable heterodimeric complex that accepts canonical NatB-type substrates in vitro. In planta, NatB complex formation was essential for enzymatic activity. Depletion of NatB subunits to 30% of wild-type level in three Arabidopsis T-DNA insertion mutants (naa20-1, naa20-2, naa25-1) decreased growth to 50% of wild-type level. A complementation approach revealed functional conservation between plant and human catalytic NatB subunits, while yeast NAA20 failed to complement naa20-1. Quantitative N-terminomics of approximately 2000 peptides identified 29 bona fide substrates of the plant NatB. In vivo, NatB preferentially acetylated N-termini starting with the initiator methionine followed by acidic amino acids and contributed 20% of the acetylation marks in the detected plant proteome. The global transcriptome and proteome analyses of NatB-depleted mutants suggested a function of NatB in multiple stress responses. In agreement, we revealed the specific impact of NatB on the resistance of plants to osmotic or high-salt stress. Remarkably, depletion of NatA did not affect these resistances.

Project description:Soybean is an important economic crop for human diet, animal feeds and biodiesel due to high protein and oil content. Its productivity is significantly hampered by salt stress, which impairs plant growth and development by affecting gene expression, in part, through epigenetic modification of chromatin status. However, little is known about epigenetic regulation of stress response in soybean roots. Here, we used RNA-seq and ChIP-seq technologies to study the dynamics of genome-wide transcription and histone methylation patterns in soybean roots under salt stress. 8798 soybean genes changed their expression under salt stress treatment. Whole-genome ChIP-seq study of an epigenetic repressive mark, histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3), revealed the changes in H3K27me3 deposition during the response to salt stress. Unexpectedly, we found that most of the inactivation of genes under salt stress is strongly correlated with the de novo establishment of H3K27me3 in various parts of the promoter or coding regions where there is no H3K27me3 in control plants. In addition, the soybean histone modifiers were identified which may contribute to de novo histone methylation and gene silencing under salt stress. Thus, dynamic chromatin regulation, switch between active and inactive modes, occur at target loci in order to respond to salt stress in soybean. Our analysis demonstrates histone methylation modifications are correlated with the activation or inactivation of salt-inducible genes in soybean roots.

Project description:In animal cells, replication-dependent histone pre-mRNAs are cleaved at the 3’ end by U7 snRNP consisting of two core components: a ~60-nucleotide U7 snRNA and a ring of seven proteins, with Lsm10 and Lsm11 replacing the spliceosomal SmD1 and SmD2. Lsm11 interacts with FLASH and together they recruit the endonuclease CPSF73 and other polyadenylation factors, forming catalytically active holo U7 snRNP. Here, we assembled core U7 snRNP bound to FLASH from recombinant components and analyzed its appearance by electron microscopy and ability to support histone pre-mRNA processing in the presence of polyadenylation factors from nuclear extracts. We demonstrate that semi-recombinant holo U7 snRNP reconstituted in this manner has the same composition and functional properties as endogenous U7 snRNP, being capable of accurately cleaving histone pre-mRNAs in a reconstituted in vitro processing reaction. We also demonstrate that the U7-specific Sm ring assembles efficiently in vitro on a spliceosomal Sm site but the resultant semi-recombinant holo U7 snRNP fails to accurately cleave histone pre-mRNAs. This approach offers a unique opportunity to create engineered U7 snRNPs to study the role of various regions in the Sm proteins and U7 snRNA in the biogenesis of a functional holo U7 snRNP.
