Project description:Polyadenylation of mRNAs is critical for their export from the nucleus, stability and efficient translation. The Arabidopsis thaliana genome encodes three isoforms of canonical nuclear poly(A) polymerase (PAPS) that redundantly polyadenylate the bulk of pre-mRNAs. However, their distinct mutant phenotypes and transcriptome studies have indicated that subsets of pre-mRNAs are preferentially polyadenylated by either PAPS1 or the two very similar PAPS2 and PAPS4 proteins. Such functional specialization raises the possibility of modulating the balance of activities between the isoforms to alter poly(A) lengths of sets of transcripts, providing an additional level of gene-expression control in plants. Here we test this notion by studying the function of PAPS1 in pollen-tube growth and guidance. Pollen tubes growing through female tissue acquire the competence to find ovules efficiently and upregulate PAPS1 expression more strongly than in vitro grown pollen tubes. Using the temperature-sensitive paps1-1 allele we show that PAPS1 activity during pollen-tube growth is required for full acquisition of competence, resulting in inefficient fertilization by paps1-1 mutant pollen tubes. While these mutant pollen tubes germinate and grow at the same rates as wild-type pollen tubes, they are compromised in locating the micropyles of ovules. Transcriptomic analyses indicate that previously identified competence-associated genes are less expressed in paps1-1 mutant than in wild-type pollen tubes. Estimating the poly(A)-tail lengths of transcripts in mutant and wild-type pollen tubes suggests that polyadenylation by PAPS1 is associated with reduced transcript abundance. Our results therefore suggest that PAPS1 upregulation during pollen-tube growth through the style plays a key role in the acquisition of competence and support the notion that plants can modulate the balance of activity between PAPS isoforms to regulate gene expression.

Project description:As in animals, cell-cell communication plays pivotal role in male-female recognition during plant sexual reproduction. Prelaid peptides secreted from the female reproductive tissues guide pollen tubes towards ovules for fertilization. However, the elaborate mechanisms for this dialogue have remained elusive, particularly from the male perspective. We perform genome-wide quantitative liquid chromatography coupled tandem mass spectrometry of a pistil-stimulated pollen tube secretome and identify 801 pollen tube-secreted proteins. Interestingly, in silico analysis reveals that the pollen tube-secretome is dominated by unconventional-type secreted proteins representing 57% of the total secretome. In support, we show that unconventional-type protein, translationally controlled tumor protein, is secreted to the apoplast. Remarkably, we discover that this protein could be secreted by infiltrating through the initial phases of the conventional secretory pathway and could reach the apoplast via exosomes as demonstrated by co-localization with Oleisin1 exosome marker. We demonstrate that Arabidopsis thaliana translationally controlled tumor protein-knockdown plants have pollen tubes that poorly navigate to the target ovule, and the knocked down allele is poorly transmitted through the male. We show that regulators of the endoplasmic reticulum-trans-golgi network protein secretory pathway control secretion of pollen tube-secreted cysteine-rich proteins, including pollen tube attractants, and are essential for pollen tube growth and guidance, as well as ovule-targeting competence. This work, the first pollen tube secretome study, identifies novel genome-wide pollen tube-secreted proteins with potential function in pollen tube-ovule guidance for sexual reproduction. Functional analysis highlights a potential mechanism for pollen tube unconventional protein secretion and reveals likely regulators of pollen tube protein secretion. The association of pollen tube-secreted proteins with marker proteins shown to be secreted via exosomes in other species suggest secretion via exosomes as a possible mechanism for cell-cell communication between the pollen tube and female reproductive cells.

Project description:Flowering plants have immotile sperm that develop within pollen and must be carried to female gametes by a pollen tube. The pollen tube engages in molecular interactions with several cell types within the pistil and these interactions are essential for successful fertilization. We identified a group of three closely related pollen tube-expressed MYB transcription factors (MYB97, MYB101, MYB120), which are required for proper interaction of the pollen tube with the female gametophyte. These transcription factors are transcriptionally induced during growth in the pistil. They regulate a transcriptional network leading to proper differentiation and maturation of the pollen tube, promoting proper pollen tube-ovule interactions resulting in sperm release and double fertilization. We used microarrays to discover genes regulated by the transcription factors MYB97, MYB101 and MYB120 in pollen tubes growing through the pistil at 8 hours after pollination.

Project description:RNA-based processes play key roles in the regulation of eukaryotic gene expression. This includes both the processing of pre-mRNAs into mature mRNAs ready for translation and RNA-based silencing processes, such as RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM). Polyadenylation of pre-mRNAs is one important step in their processing and is carried out by three functionally specialized canonical nuclear poly(A) polymerases in Arabidopsis thaliana. Null-mutations in one of these, termed PAPS1, result in a male gametophytic defect. Using a fluorescence-labelling strategy, we have characterized this defect in more detail using RNA and small-RNA sequencing. In addition to global defects in expression of pollen-differentiation genes, paps1 null mutant pollen show a strong overaccumulation of transposable-element transcripts, yet a depletion of 21- and particularly 24-nucleotide long short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) targeting the corresponding transposable elements. Double-mutant analyses support a specific functional interaction between PAPS1 and components of the RdDM pathway, as evident from strong synergistic phenotypes in mutant combinations involving paps1, but not paps2 paps4 mutations. In particular, the double mutant of paps1 and rna-dependent rna polymerase 6 (rdr6) shows a synergistic developmental phenotype disrupting the formation of the transmitting tract in the female gynoecium. Thus, our findings in A. Thaliana uncover a potentially general link between canonical poly(A) polymerases as components of mRNA processing and RdDM, reflecting an analogous interaction in fission yeast.

Project description:Pollen germination, along with pollen tube growth, is an essential process for the reproduction of flowering plants. The germinating pollen with tip-growth characteristics provides an ideal model system for the study of cell growth and morphogenesis. As an essential step towards a detailed understanding of this important process, the objective of this study was to comprehensively analyze the transcriptome changes during pollen germination and pollen tube growth. Using Affymetrix Arabidopsis ATH1 Genome Arrays, this study is the first to show the changes in the transcriptome from desiccated mature pollen grains to hydrated pollen grains and then to pollen tubes of Arabidopsis thaliana. The number of expressed genes, either for total expressed genes or for specifically expressed genes, increased significantly from desiccated mature pollen to hydrated pollen and again to growing pollen tubes, which is consistent with the finding that pollen germination and tube growth was significantly inhibited in vitro by a transcriptional inhibitor. The results of GO analyses showed that expression of genes related to cell rescue, transcription, signal transduction and cellular transport were significantly changed, especially for up-regulation, during pollen germination and tube growth, respectively. In particular, genes of the CaM/CML, CHX and Hsp families showed the most significant changes during pollen germination and tube growth. These results demonstrate that the overall transcription of genes, both in the number of expressed genes and in the levels of transcription, was increased. Furthermore, the appearance of many novel transcripts during pollen germination as well as tube growth indicates that these newly expressed genes may function in this complex process.

These transcription factors are transcriptionally induced during growth in the pistil. They regulate a transcriptional network leading to proper differentiation and maturation of the pollen tube, promoting proper pollen tube-ovule interactions resulting in sperm release and double fertilization. We used microarrays to discover genes regulated by the transcription factors MYB97, MYB101 and MYB120 in pollen tubes growing through the pistil at 8 hours after pollination. Pistils were collected from ms1 (Male Sterile 1) pistils that were unpollinated, or pollinated with either wild type (Col-0) pollen or myb triple mutant (myb97-1, myb101-4, myb120-3) pollen for 8 hours. We sought to examine transcriptional changes that were taking place in pollen tubes before they reached ovules in wild type pollen tubes, and what portion of this transcriptional regulation was due to MYB97, MYB101 and MYB120. Analysis of growth in the pistil allows discovery of transcriptional changes taking place during pollen tube growth in its native environment, as opposed to mature pollen or in vitro grown pollen, which are essentially naive conditions, as neither have interacted with the pistil environment and any signalling factors found therein.
