LEAFY target genes reveal a link between flower development and biotic stimulus response (III)

ABSTRACT: The transition from vegetative growth to flower formation is critical for the survival of flowering plants. The plant-specific transcription factor LEAFY (LFY) has central, evolutionarily conserved roles in this process, both in the formation of the first flower and later in floral patterning. We performed genome-wide binding and expression studies to elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which LFY executes these roles. Our study reveals that LFY directs an intricate regulatory network in control of floral homeotic gene expression and, unexpectedly, controls the expression of genes regulating the response to external stimuli in Arabidopsis. We further show that LFY dampens responses to a bacterial MAMP (microbe-associated molecular pattern) and to pathogen challenge. Our findings suggest a molecular mechanism for the coordination of reproductive stage development and disease response programs in plants. Regulation of these distinct survival programs by a single transcription factor may ensure optimal allocation of plant resources for reproductive fitness. Expression array analysis used to identify genes differentially expressed upon LFY induction in 9-day-old shoot apices.

A SAM oligomerization domain shapes the genomic binding landscape of the LEAFY transcription factor

Project description:Multicellular organisms develop new structures by initiating specific gene regulatory programs through coordinated changes at the transcriptional and chromatin levels. Master transcription factors orchestrate such global changes but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Here we focus on LEAFY (LFY), a key regulator of flower development in angiosperms. The resolution of the crystallographic structure of its N-terminal domain shows that it forms an unanticipated Sterile Alpha Motif (SAM) domain. This domain drives LFY oligomerization, which we establish to be essential for LFY floral switch function. Combining in vitro and in vivo experiments, we demonstrate that oligomerization facilitates LFY binding to DNA regions with multiple binding sites. Moreover, genome-wide analyses reveal an additional prominent role for the oligomerization domain: it confers upon LFY the capacity to bind to closed chromatin regions. This novel property, combined with its previously demonstrated capacity to recruit chromatin remodelers, indicates that LFY controls floral fate by acting as a plant pioneer transcription factor.

The F-box cofactor UFO redirects the LEAFY floral regulator to novel cis-elements

Project description:In angiosperms, flower patterning requires the localized expression of the APETALA3 (AP3) floral homeotic gene involved in petal and stamen development. AP3 is synergistically induced by the master transcription factor LEAFY (LFY) and the F-box protein UNUSUAL FLORAL ORGANS (UFO), but the molecular mechanism underlying this synergy has remained unknown. Here we show that the connection to ubiquitination pathways suggested by the F-box domain of UFO is mostly dispensable and that UFO instead acts by forming a transcriptional complex with LFY on newly discovered regulatory elements. The cryo-electron microscopy structure of the UFO-LFY-DNA complex shows that UFO-DNA contacts allows relocating LFY to novel DNA sites. Finally, we show that this complex has a deep evolutionary origin, largely predating flowering plants. This work unravels an unsuspected role for a member of one of the largest protein families in plants as a modulator of the DNA binding specificity of a master TF.

Transcription factor Interplay between LEAFY and APETALA1/ CAULIFLOWER during Floral Initiation

Project description:The transcription factors LEAFY (LFY) and APETALA1 (AP1)_together with the AP1 paralog CAULIFLOWER (CAL)_control the onRep_of flower development in a partially redundant manner. This redundancy is thought to be mediated_at least in part_through the regulation of a shared Rep_of target genes. However_whether these genes are independently or cooperatively regulated by LFY and AP1/CAL_is currently unknown. To better understand the regulatory relationship between LFY and AP1/CAL during floral initiation_we monitored the activity of LFY in the absence of AP1/CAL function. We found that the regulation of several known LFY target genes is unaffected by AP1/CAL perturbation_while others appear to require AP1/CAL activity. Furthermore_we obtained evidence that LFY and AP1/CAL control the expression of some genes in an antagonistic manner. Notably_these include key regulators of floral initiation such TERMINAL FLOWER1 (TFL1)_which had been previously reported to be directly repressed by both LFY and AP1. We show here that TFL1 expression is suppressed by AP1 but promoted by LFY. We further demonstrate that LFY has an inhibitory effect on flower formation in the absence of AP1/CAL activity. We propose that LFY and AP1/CAL may act as part of an incoherent feed-forward loop to control the establishment of a stable developmental program for the formation of flowers.

Transcription factor Interplay between LEAFY and APETALA1/ CAULIFLOWER during Floral Initiation

LEAFY-GR time-course experiment in callus

Project description:Callus derived from 35S:LFY-GR plants was treated with dexamethasone- or was mock-treated for 0,2,4,6,8,10,12, or 22 hours. Four biologically independent sets of samples were generated and RNA probes derived from these samples were co-hybridized to a cDNA array enriched for flower-specific transcripts. The data were analyzed with Rosetta Resolver as described in Wagner et al. (2004). Keywords: time-course

Transcription profiling of Arabidopsis micro-dissected apical tissue harvested 0, 3, 5, and 7 days after the shift to LD from SD

Project description:Floral transition and flower development are regulated by numerous environmental and endogenous signals, which are integrated at a relatively small number of floral integrators, such as FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) and SUPPRESSOR OF CONSTANS OVEREXPRESSION 1 (SOC1). Of the environmental factors, photoperiod is regarded the most important one in promoting floral transition in Arabidopsis thaliana and most labstrains will flower earlier under long day (LD) conditions than under short day (SD) conditions. Arabidopsis is therefore considered a facultative LD plant. To monitor gene expression changes during floral transition and early flower development plants were grown under SD (9 hr light, 15 hr dark) for 30 days. Plants were then shifted to LD (16 hr light, 8 hr dark) conditions to induce flowering. RNA was isolated from micro-dissected apical tissue harvested 0, 3, 5, and 7 days after the shift to LD and double-stranded cDNA was synthesized. Biotinylated cRNA probes were prepared and hybridized to the Affymetrix ATH1 array in duplicate (biological replicates). To study floral transition, we not only analyzed response of wildtype Landsberg erecta (Ler) plants, but also the effect of mutants in the flowering time genes CONSTANS (CO; co-2) and FT (ft-2). Early flower development was analyzed by comparing Col-0 wildtype plants with the meristem identity mutant lfy-12 (Col-0).

DNA affinity purification sequencing (DAP-seq) data of LEAFY (LFY)

Project description:In this study, we use DNA affinity purification sequencing to identiy genome-wide binding of LFY transcription factor, a master regulator of flower development in Arabidopsis. We generated two sets of data, one using genomic DNA from plant tissue, thus retain DNA methylation, as probe for DNA affinity purification (DAP-seq dataset), and the other using PCR amplified genomic DNA (without DNA methylation; AmpDAP-seq dataset).
