Project description:The Polycomb Group (PcG) proteins form two protein complexes, PcG Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1) and PRC2, which are key epigenetic regulators in eukaryotes. PRC2 represses gene expression by catalyzing the trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3). In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), CURLY LEAF (CLF) and SWINGER (SWN) are two major H3K27 methyltransferases and core components of PRC2, playing essential roles in plant growth and development. Despite their importance, genome-wide binding profiles of CLF and SWN have not been determined and compared yet. In this study, we generated transgenic lines expressing GFP-tagged CLF/SWN under their respective native promoters and used them for ChIP-seq analyses to profile the genome-wide distributions of CLF and SWN in Arabidopsis seedlings. We also profiled and compared the global H3K27me3 levels in wild-type (WT) and PcG mutants (clf, swn, and clf swn). Our data show that CLF and SWN bind to almost the same set of genes, except that SWN has a few hundred more targets. Two short DNA sequences, the GAGA-like and Telo-box-like motifs, were found enriched in the CLF and SWN binding regions. The H3K27me3 levels in clf, but not in swn, were markedly reduced compared with WT; and the mark was undetectable in the clf swn double mutant. Further, we profiled the transcriptomes in clf, swn, and clf swn, and compared with that in WT. Thus this work provides a useful resource for the plant epigenetics community for dissecting the functions of PRC2 in plant growth and development.

Project description:We have identified a histone methyltransferase gene CURLY LEAF (CLF), which is required to repress a floral homeotic gene AGAMOUS (AG). CLF acts redundantly with a related gene SWINGER (SWN), so that clf swn double mutants have extreme, near lethal phenotypes in which expression of many target genes is disrupted. To understand better when and where these genes act, we propose to use a system for generating mosaic plants in which marked sectors of cells are created that gain or lose CLF (or other Pc-G) gene function in SWN+ and swn- mutant backgrounds. This will allow us to address questions such as whether the Pc-G genes are needed throughout development to silence their targets, whether they are needed once cell division has ceased, whether they can silence their targets once the targets have been activated, and whether genes that are epigenetically silenced by CLF are impervious to activating factors. Aim is to compare gene expression in wild-type and polycomb mutant seedlings. Comparison of bulked seedlings of four genotypes: wild-type (Columbia), clf-28, swn-7, clf-28 swn-7 double mutant. 8 samples were used in this experiment, 2 of each genotype. Tissue grown in tissue culture.

Project description:The Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) catalyzes histone H3 Lys27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) to repress gene transcription in multicellular eukaryotes. Despite its importance in gene silencing and cellular differentiation, how PRC2 is recruited to target loci is still not fully understood. Here, we report genome-wide evidence for the recruitment of PRC2 by the transcriptional repressors VIVIPAROUS1/ABI3-LIKE1 (VAL1) and VAL2 in Arabidopsis thaliana. We show that the val1 val2 double mutant possesses somatic embryonic phenotypes and a transcriptome strikingly similar to those of the swn clf double mutant, which lacks the PRC2 catalytic subunits SWINGER (SWN) and CURLY LEAF (CLF). We further show that VAL1 and VAL2 physically interact with SWN and CLF in vivo. Genome-wide binding profiling demonstrated that they colocalize with SWN and CLF at PRC2 target loci. Loss of VAL1 and VAL2 significantly reduces SWN and CLF enrichment at PRC2 target loci and leads to a genome-wide redistribution of H3K27me3 that strongly affects transcription. Finally, we provide evidence that the VAL1/VAL2–RY regulatory system is largely independent of the TRB–Telobox and BPC1–GA/AZF1–Telobox modules for Polycomb silencing in plants. Taken together, our work demonstrates an extensive genome-wide interaction between VAL1/2 and PRC2 and provides mechanistic insights into the establishment of Polycomb silencing in plants.

Project description:This research seeks to contribute to our understanding of the primary cellular pathways involved in the induction of SE in C. canephora. The process of our model consists of two stages: 1) preconditioning in MS medium with auxin (NAA) and cytokinin (KIN); and 2) induction in Yasuda liquid medium added with cytokinin (BA). Therefore, in this study, we analyzed different days of the SE induction process using shotgun label-free quantitative proteomics. 1630 proteins were found among different sampling days of the process, of which, the majority were up-accumulated during the induction stage. We found that some of the most enriched pathways during the process were the biosynthesis of amino acids and secondary metabolites. Eighteen proteins were found related to auxin homeostasis and two to cytokinin metabolism, such as ABC, BIG, ILR, LOG, and ARR, among others. Ten proteins and transcription factors related to SE were also identified, like SERK1, SKP1, nuclear transcription factor Y, MADS-box and calreticulin,; and 19 related to other processes of plant development, among which the 14-3-3 and PP2A proteins stand out.

Project description:Somatic embryogenesis (SE) exemplifies the unique developmental plasticity of plant cells. The regulatory processes, including epigenetic modifications controlling embryogenic reprogramming of cell transcriptome, have just started to be revealed. To identify the genes of histone acetylation-regulated expression in SE, we analyzed global transcriptomes of Arabidopsis explants undergoing embryogenic induction in response to treatment with histone deacetylase inhibitor, trichostatin A (TSA). The TSA-induced and auxin (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid; 2,4-D)-induced transcriptomes were compared. RNA-seq results revealed the similarities of the TSA- and auxin-induced transcriptomic responses that involve extensive deregulation, mostly repression, of the majority of genes. Within the differentially expressed genes (DEGs), we identified the master regulators (transcription factors TF) of SE, genes involved in biosynthesis, signaling, and polar transport of auxin and NITRILASE-encoding genes of the function in indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) biosynthesis. TSA-upregulated TF genes of essential functions in auxin-induced SE, included LEC1/LEC2, FUS3, AGL15, MYB118, PHB, PHV, PLTs, and WUS/WOXs. The TSA-induced transcriptome revealed also extensive upregulation of stress-related genes, including those related to stress hormone biosynthesis. In line with transcriptomic data, TSA-induced explants accumulated salicylic acid (SA) and abscisic acid (ABA), suggesting the role of histone acetylation (Hac) in regulating stress hormone-related responses during SE induction. Since mostly the adaxial side of cotyledon explant contributes to SE induction, we also identified organ polarity-related genes responding to TSA treatment, including AIL7/PLT7, RGE1, LBD18, 40, HB32, CBF1, and ULT2. Analysis of the relevant mutants supported the role of polarity-related genes in SE induction. The study results provide a step forward in deciphering the epigenetic network controlling embryogenic transition in somatic cells of plants.

Project description:The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) induces senescence and facilitates nutrient reuse, which are essential for increasing stress tolerance. Senescence controls plant aging and is closely associated with crop yield and quality. It is a complicated process finely tuned by multiple layers of control. A significant proportion of ABA-responsive genes and cis-elements are targeted by H3K27me3 modification that is mediated by Polycomb group proteins (PcGs); however, the interplay between the major epigenetic machinery and the central stress hormone is poorly understood. Both pathways influence the transcription of thousands of genes, and the dynamic and quantitative epigenomic and transcriptomic changes cannot be characterized with high confidence. This issue is further complicated by the redundant roles of PcG components. This article revealed an intriguing mechanism of the interplay between ABA and PcG in regulating plant senescence, based on the integration of genetic evidence and quantitative comparison of epigenomic data derived from a purpose-developed computational model. We observed that >30% of ABA-induced genes are up-regulated in a double mutant of H3K27me3 methyltransferases CLF and SWN; and the double mutant, but not single-gene mutants, is hyper-sensitive to ABA treatment. Importantly, ABA-triggered H3K27me3 reduction preferentially occurred in regions around senescence-associated genes (SAGs), which are redundantly repressed by CLF and SWN in normal conditions. Furthermore, we revealed that the presence of H3K27me3 surrounding SAGs does not block ABA-induced SAG expression, but rather limits the extent of the induction, thereby preventing an over-sensitive response within a dynamic environment. These findings may serve as a paradigm for the crosstalk between the rapid-effect of phytohormone and the long-term effect of epigenetic machinery in regulating plant environmental responses through modulations of the senescence process.

Project description:Histone modifications are essential for chromatin activity and play an important role in many biological processes. Trimethylation of histone H3K27 (H3K27me3) is a repressive modification established by Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2). Although the presence of the histone H3 serine 28 phosphorylation (H3S28ph) modification at adjacent amino acid residues has both positive and negative effects on Polycomb silencing in mammals, little is known about the effect of H3S28ph on H3K27me3-mediated gene silencing in plants. In this study, we show that mutating H3S28A in Arabidopsis causes a dominant-negative effect that leads to an early-flowering phenotype by promoting the expression of flowering-promoting genes independently of abnormal cell division. While H3S28ph levels decreased due to the H3S28A mutation, H3K27me3 levels at the same loci did not increase. Moreover, we observed decreased H3K27me3 levels at some known PRC2 target genes in H3.3S28A transgenic lines, rather than the expected enhanced H3K27me3-mediated silencing. In line with the reduced H3K27me3 levels, the expression of the PRC2 catalytic subunits CLF and SWN decreased. Taken together, these data demonstrate that H3.3S28 is required for PRC2-dependent H3K27me3-mediated silencing in Arabidopsis, suggesting that H3S28 has a non-canonical function in H3K27me3-mediated gene silencing.
