Wadhwa N, Kapoor S, Kapoor M. Arabidopsis T-DNA mutants affected in TRDMT1/DNMT2 show differential protein synthesis and compromised stress tolerance. FEBS J 2024; 291:92-113. [PMID: 37584564 DOI: 10.1111/febs.16935] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2023] [Revised: 07/18/2023] [Accepted: 08/14/2023] [Indexed: 08/17/2023]
Abstract
TRDMT1/DNMT2 belongs to the conserved family of nucleic acid methyltransferases. Unlike the animal systems, studies on TRDMT1/DNMT2 in land plants have been limited. We show that TRDMT1/DNMT2 is strongly conserved in the green lineage. Studies in mosses have previously shown that TRDMT1/DNMT2 plays a crucial role in modulating molecular networks involved in stress perception and signalling and in transcription/stability of specific tRNAs under stress. To gain deeper insight into its biological roles in a flowering plant, we examined more closely the previously reported Arabidopsis SALK_136635C line deficient in TRDMT1/DNMT2 function [Goll MG et al. (2006) Science 311, 395-398]. RNAs derived from Arabidopsis Dnmt2-deficient plants lacked m5 C38 in tRNAAsp . In this study, by transient expression assays we show that Arabidopsis TRDMT1/DNMT2 is distributed in the nucleus, cytoplasm and RNA-processing bodies, suggesting a role for TRDMT1/DNMT2 in RNA metabolic processes possibly by shuttling between cellular compartments. Bright-field and high-resolution SEM and qPCR analysis reveal roles of TRDMT1/DNMT2 in proper growth and developmental progression. Quantitative proteome analysis by LC-MS/MS coupled with qPCR shows AtTRDMT1/AtDNMT2 function to be crucial for protein synthesis and cellular homeostasis via housekeeping roles and proteins with poly-Asp stretches and RNA pol II activity on selected genes are affected in attrdmt1/atdnmt2. This shift in metabolic pathways primes the mutant plants to become increasingly sensitive to oxidative and osmotic stress. Taken together, our study sheds light on the mechanistic role of TRDMT1/DNMT2 in a flowering plant.

Abstract
Proper orchestration of the thousands of biochemical processes that are essential to the life of every cell requires highly organized cellular compartmentalization of dedicated microenvironments. There are 2 ways to create this intracellular segregation to optimize cellular function. One way is to create specific organelles, enclosed spaces bounded by lipid membranes that regulate macromolecular flux in and out of the compartment. A second way is via membraneless biomolecular condensates that form due to to liquid-liquid phase separation. Although research on these membraneless condensates has historically been performed using animal and fungal systems, recent studies have explored basic principles governing the assembly, properties, and functions of membraneless compartments in plants. In this review, we discuss how phase separation is involved in a variety of key processes occurring in Cajal bodies (CBs), a type of biomolecular condensate found in nuclei. These processes include RNA metabolism, formation of ribonucleoproteins involved in transcription, RNA splicing, ribosome biogenesis, and telomere maintenance. Besides these primary roles of CBs, we discuss unique plant-specific functions of CBs in RNA-based regulatory pathways such as nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, mRNA retention, and RNA silencing. Finally, we summarize recent progress and discuss the functions of CBs in responses to pathogen attacks and abiotic stresses, responses that may be regulated via mechanisms governed by polyADP-ribosylation. Thus, plant CBs are emerging as highly complex and multifunctional biomolecular condensates that are involved in a surprisingly diverse range of molecular mechanisms that we are just beginning to appreciate.

Abstract
The existence of the nucleus distinguishes prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Apart from containing most of the genetic material, the nucleus possesses several nuclear bodies composed of protein and RNA molecules. The nucleus is separated from the cytoplasm by a double membrane, regulating the trafficking of molecules in- and outwards. Here, we investigate the composition and function of the different plant nuclear bodies and molecular clues involved in nuclear trafficking. The behavior of the nucleolus, Cajal bodies, dicing bodies, nuclear speckles, cyclophilin-containing bodies, photobodies and DNA damage foci is analyzed in response to different abiotic stresses. Furthermore, we research the literature to collect the different protein localization signals that rule nucleocytoplasmic trafficking. These signals include the different types of nuclear localization signals (NLSs) for nuclear import, and the nuclear export signals (NESs) for nuclear export. In contrast to these unidirectional-movement signals, the existence of nucleocytoplasmic shuttling signals (NSSs) allows bidirectional movement through the nuclear envelope. Likewise, nucleolar signals are also described, which mainly include the nucleolar localization signals (NoLSs) controlling nucleolar import. In contrast, few examples of nucleolar export signals, called nucleoplasmic localization signals (NpLSs) or nucleolar export signals (NoESs), have been reported. The existence of consensus sequences for these localization signals led to the generation of prediction tools, allowing the detection of these signals from an amino acid sequence. Additionally, the effect of high temperatures as well as different post-translational modifications in nuclear and nucleolar import and export is discussed.

Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23147568. [PMID: 35886915 PMCID: PMC9321658 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23147568] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2022] [Revised: 06/27/2022] [Accepted: 06/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Retention of RNA in the nucleus precisely regulates the time and rate of translation and controls transcriptional bursts that can generate profound variability in mRNA levels among identical cells in tissues. In this study, we investigated the function of Cajal bodies (CBs) in RNA retention in A. thaliana leaf nuclei during hypoxia stress was investigated. It was observed that in ncb-1 mutants with a complete absence of CBs, the accumulation of poly(A+) RNA in the leaf nuclei was lower than that in wt under stress. Moreover, unlike in root cells, CBs store less RNA, and RNA retention in the nuclei is much less intense. Our results reveal that the function of CBs in the accumulation of RNA in nuclei under stress depends on the plant organ. Additionally, in ncb-1, retention of introns of mRNA RPB1 (largest subunit of RNA polymerase II) mRNA was observed. However, this isoform is highly accumulated in the nucleus. It thus follows that intron retention in transcripts is more important than CBs for the accumulation of RNA in nuclei. Accumulated mRNAs with introns in the nucleus could escape transcript degradation by NMD (nonsense-mediated mRNA decay). From non-fully spliced mRNAs in ncb-1 nuclei, whose levels increase during hypoxia, introns are removed during reoxygenation. Then, the mRNA is transferred to the cytoplasm, and the RPB1 protein is translated. Despite the accumulation of isoforms in nuclei with retention of introns in reoxygenation, ncb-1 coped much worse with long hypoxia, and manifested faster yellowing and shrinkage of leaves.

Abstract
Epidermal cells of leaf petioles, pedicles, and sepals in Caragana arborescens L. are characterized with a unique biogenesis of intracellular bodies, the presence of which continues during 10-12 days in spring, from budding till flowering and fruit inception. Initially, a nuclear body is formed as a derivative of the nucleolus at the beginning of elongation of the protodermal cells, whereas a cytoplasmic body is formed in the proximity of the nuclear envelope later. Nuclear bodies and cytoplasmic bodies do not contain DNA, lipids, and starch, and they consist of RNA tightly packaged with proteins mainly in the form of short thin fibrils with thickness of 6 nm. By the end of cell elongation and the beginning of differentiation, nuclear bodies disappear, while cytoplasmic bodies become surrounded by a homogenous zone (halo). Later, the bundles of parallel-oriented fibrils derived from the body radially pass through the homogenous zone and gradually disperse in the cytoplasm. In the differentiated epidermal cells, no traces of cytoplasmic bodies are observed; there is only one nucleolus in the nucleus. It is hypothesized that cytoplasmic bodies may function as an RNA depot, which is utilized later in cell metabolism during the formation of fruits and seeds.

Abstract
Cajal bodies (CBs) are distinct sub-nuclear structures that are present in eukaryotic living cells and are often associated with the nucleolus. CBs play important roles in RNA metabolism and formation of RNPs involved in transcription, splicing, ribosome biogenesis, and telomere maintenance. Besides these primary roles, CBs appear to be involved in additional functions that may not be directly related to RNA metabolism and RNP biogenesis. In this review, we assess possible roles of plant CBs in RNA regulatory pathways such as nonsense-mediated mRNA decay and RNA silencing. We also summarize recent progress and discuss new non-canonical functions of plant CBs in responses to stress and disease. It is hypothesized that CBs can regulate these responses via their interaction with poly(ADP ribose)polymerase (PARP), which is known to play an important role in various physiological processes including responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. It is suggested that CBs and their components modify PARP activities and functions.

Abstract
Small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) are protein-RNA complexes composed of specific snRNP-associated proteins along with small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs), which are non-coding RNA molecules abundant in the nucleus. snRNPs mainly function as core components of the spliceosome, the molecular machinery for pre-mRNA splicing. Thus, snRNP biogenesis is a critical issue for plants, essential for the determination of a cell's activity through the regulation of gene expression. The complex process of snRNP biogenesis is initiated by transcription of the snRNA in the nucleus, continues in the cytoplasm, and terminates back in the nucleus. Critical steps of snRNP biogenesis, such as chemical modification of the snRNA and snRNP maturation, occur in the nucleolus and its related sub-nuclear structures, Cajal bodies. In this review, I discuss roles for the nucleolus and Cajal bodies in snRNP biogenesis, and a possible linkage between the regulation of snRNP biogenesis and plant development and environmental responses.

Abstract
Fully grown oocytes arrest meiosis at prophase I and deposit maternal RNAs. A subset of maternal transcripts is stored in a dormant state in the oocyte, and the timely driven translation of specific mRNAs guides meiotic progression, the oocyte-embryo transition, and early embryo development. In the absence of transcription, the regulation of gene expression in oocytes is controlled almost exclusively at the level of transcriptome and proteome stabilization and at the level of protein synthesis.This chapter focuses on the recent findings on RNA distribution related to the temporal and spatial translational control of the meiotic cycle progression in mammalian oocytes. We discuss the most relevant mechanisms involved in the organization of the oocyte's maternal transcriptome storage and localization, and the regulation of translation, in correlation with the regulation of oocyte meiotic progression.

Abstract
Last finding indicates that post-transcriptional processes are significant in low-oxygen conditions, but their nature is poorly understood. Here, we localized poly(A) RNA and mRNA coding proteins involved and not involved with resistance to hypoxia in Lupinus luteus and Arabidopsis thaliana during submergence and after recovery of aerobic conditions. We showed a strong nuclear accumulation of poly(A) RNA and 6 of 7 studied mRNAs with a concurrent strong reduction in RNA polymerase II transcription during hypoxia. In this study, the nucleus did not accumulate mRNA of the ADH1 (alcohol dehydrogenase 1) gene, which is a core hypoxia gene. The RNA accumulation in the nucleus is among the mechanisms of post-transcriptional gene regulation that prevents translation. However re-aeration was accompanied by a strong increase in the amount of the mRNAs in the cytoplasm and a simultaneous decrease in nuclear mRNAs. This finding indicates that the nucleus is a storage site for those of mRNAs which are not involved in the response to hypoxia for use by the plants after the hypoxic stress. In this study, the highest intensity of RNA accumulation occurred in Cajal bodies (CBs); the intensity of accumulation was inversely correlated with transcription. Under hypoxia, ncb-1 mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana with a complete absence of CBs died sooner than wild type (WT), accompanied by a strong reduction in the level of poly(A) RNA in the nucleus. These results suggest that the CBs not only participate in the storage of the nuclear RNA, but they also could take part in its stabilization under low-oxygen conditions.

Abstract
A hallmark of oocyte development in mammals is the dependence on the translation and utilization of stored RNA and proteins rather than the de novo transcription of genes in order to sustain meiotic progression and early embryo development. In the absence of transcription, the completion of meiosis and early embryo development in mammals relies significantly on maternally synthesized RNAs. Post-transcriptional control of gene expression at the translational level has emerged as an important cellular function in normal development. Therefore, the regulation of gene expression in oocytes is controlled almost exclusively at the level of mRNA and protein stabilization and protein synthesis. This current review is focused on the recently emerged findings on RNA distribution related to the temporal and spatial translational control of the meiotic progression of the mammalian oocyte.

Abstract
Nuclear proteins are a vital component of eukaryotic cell nuclei and have a profound effect on the way in which genetic information is stored, expressed, replicated, repaired, and transmitted to daughter cells and progeny. Because of the plethora of functions, nuclear proteins represent the most abundant components of cell nuclei in all eukaryotes. However, while the plant genome is well understood at the DNA level, information on plant nuclear proteins remains scarce, perhaps with the exception of histones and a few other proteins. This lack of knowledge hampers efforts to understand how the plant genome is organized in the nucleus and how it functions. This review focuses on the current state of the art of the analysis of the plant nuclear proteome. Previous proteome studies have generally been designed to search for proteins involved in plant response to various forms of stress or to identify rather a modest number of proteins. Thus, there is a need for more comprehensive and systematic studies of proteins in the nuclei obtained at individual phases of the cell cycle, or isolated from various tissue types and stages of cell and tissue differentiation. All this in combination with protein structure, predicted function, and physical localization in 3D nuclear space could provide much needed progress in our understanding of the plant nuclear proteome and its role in plant genome organization and function.
