MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate most steps of plant development, thus miRNAs might play important role in transcriptional reprogramming during de-etiolation. Indeed, miRNA biogenesis mutants show aberrant de-etiolation. Previous works showed that the total miRNA expression pattern (total miRNAome) is only moderately altered during photomorphogenesis. However, a recent study has shown that plant miRNAs are present in two pools, biologically active miRNAs loaded to RISC (RNA-induced silencing complex-loaded) form while inactive miRNAs accumulate in duplex form upon organ formation. To test if RISC-loading efficiency is changed during photomorphogenesis. we compared the total miRNAome and the RISC-loaded miRNAome of dark-grown and de-etiolated Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings. miRNA sequencing has revealed that although regulated RISC-loading is involved in the control of active miRNAome formation during de-etiolation, this effect is moderate. The total miRNAomes and the RISC-loaded miRNAomes of dark-grown and de-etiolated plants are similar indicating that most miRNAs are loaded onto RISC with similar efficiency in dark and light. Few miRNAs were loaded onto RISC with different efficiency and one miRNA, miR163, was RISC-loaded much more effectively in light than in dark. Thus, our results suggest that although RISC-loading contributes significantly to the control of the formation of organ-specific active miRNA pools, it plays a limited role in the regulation of active miRNA pool formation during de-etiolation. Regulated RISC-loading strongly modifies the expression of miRNA163, could play a role in the fine-tuning of a few other miRNAs, and do not modify the expression of most miRNAs.}, keywords = {EXPRESSION; EFFICIENT; miRNA; miRNA; BIOGENESIS; Arabidopsis thaliana; PHOTOMORPHOGENESIS; ARGONAUTE1; SERRATE; miRNAome; reprogramming of gene expression; efficiency of AGO loading}, year = {2022}, eissn = {1664-462X}, orcid-numbers = {Nagy, Ferenc István/0000-0002-6157-9269} } @article{MTMT:32640714, title = {Elongation factor TFIIS is essential for heat stress adaptation in plants}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32640714}, author = {Szádeczky-Kardoss, István and Szaker, Henrik Mihály and Verma, Radhika and Darkó, Éva and Pettkó-Szandtner, Aladár and Silhavy, Dániel and Csorba, Tibor}, doi = {10.1093/nar/gkac020}, journal-iso = {NUCLEIC ACIDS RES}, journal = {NUCLEIC ACIDS RESEARCH}, volume = {50}, unique-id = {32640714}, issn = {0305-1048}, year = {2022}, eissn = {1362-4962}, pages = {1927-1950}, orcid-numbers = {Szaker, Henrik Mihály/0000-0001-8340-8287} } @article{MTMT:31997619, title = {The role of RST1 and RIPR proteins in plant RNA quality control systems}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31997619}, author = {Auth, Mariann and Nyikó, Tünde and Auber, Andor and Silhavy, Dániel}, doi = {10.1007/s11103-021-01145-9}, journal-iso = {PLANT MOL BIOL}, journal = {PLANT MOLECULAR BIOLOGY}, volume = {106}, unique-id = {31997619}, issn = {0167-4412}, abstract = {To keep mRNA homeostasis, the RNA degradation, quality control and silencing systems should act in balance in plants. Degradation of normal mRNA starts with deadenylation, then deadenylated transcripts are degraded by the SKI-exosome 3 '-5 ' and/or XRN4 5 '-3 ' exonucleases. RNA quality control systems identify and decay different aberrant transcripts. RNA silencing degrades double-stranded transcripts and homologous mRNAs. It also targets aberrant and silencing prone transcripts. The SKI-exosome is essential for mRNA homeostasis, it functions in normal mRNA degradation and different RNA quality control systems, and in its absence silencing targets normal transcripts. It is highly conserved in eukaryotes, thus recent reports that the plant SKI-exosome is associated with RST1 and RIPR proteins and that, they are required for SKI-exosome-mediated decay of silencing prone transcripts were unexpected. To clarify whether RST1 and RIPR are essential for all SKI-exosome functions or only for the elimination of silencing prone transcripts, degradation of different reporter transcripts was studied in RST1 and RIPR inactivated Nicotiana benthamiana plants. As RST1 and RIPR, like the SKI-exosome, were essential for Non-stop and No-go decay quality control systems, and for RNA silencing- and minimum ORF-mediated decay, we propose that RST1 and RIPR are essential components of plant SKI-exosome supercomplex.

The adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-dependent RNA helicase up-frameshift 1 (UPF1) is a major NMD factor in all studied organisms; however, the complexity of this mechanism has not been fully characterized in plants. To identify plant NMD factors, we analyzed UPF1-interacting proteins using tandem affinity purification coupled to mass spectrometry.Canonical members of the NMD pathway were found along with numerous NMD candidate factors, including conserved DEA(D/H)-box RNA helicase homologs of human DDX3, DDX5 and DDX6, translation initiation factors, ribosomal proteins and transport factors. Our functional studies revealed that depletion of DDX3 helicases enhances the accumulation of NMD target reporterm RNAs but does not result in increased protein levels. In contrast, silencing of DDX6 group leads to decreased accumulation of the NMD substrate. The inhibitory effect of DDX6-like helicases on NMD was confirmed by transient over-expression of RH12 helicase.

It is widely believed that translation termination is highly conserved in eukaryotes. However, recent results that eRF1 is present in multiple, partially redundant copies in plants and that eRF1 expression is controlled by a complex, plant-specific autoregulatory circuit suggest that regulation of translation termination might be especially complex in plants. Surprisingly, very little is known about translation termination in plant, for instance, the eRF3 termination factor has not been analyzed in plants yet. Thus, we wanted to identify and characterize the eRF3 translation termination factor in plants. By combining a range of transient and transgenic assay here, we identified plant eRF3 and showed that it directly interacts with eRF1. In contrast to eRF1, plant eRF3 is not autoregulated, while eRF3 and eRF1 expressions are connected. We also demonstrated that eRF3 interacts with the core NMD factor, UPF1, and the expression of eRF3 is NMD regulated in certain plant species suggesting that in addition to the normal translation termination, eRF3 could be connected to plant nonsense-mediated decay (NMD). Finally, it appears that the plant termination factors are present in physiologically different concentrations, while eRF1 concentration limits the efficiency of both translation termination and NMD, eRF3 is present in non-limiting concentration.}, keywords = {NMD; Translation termination complex; eRF3; Cross-regulation}, year = {2018}, eissn = {1572-9818}, pages = {858-869}, orcid-numbers = {Auber, Andor/0000-0001-8432-3760} } @article{MTMT:3420895, title = {The No-go decay system degrades plant mRNAs that contain a long A-stretch in the coding region}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/3420895}, author = {Szádeczky-Kardoss, István and Gal, L and Auber, Andor and Taller, János and Silhavy, Dániel}, doi = {10.1016/j.plantsci.2018.07.008}, journal-iso = {PLANT SCI}, journal = {PLANT SCIENCE}, volume = {275}, unique-id = {3420895}, issn = {0168-9452}, abstract = {RNA quality control systems identify and degrade aberrant mRNAs, thereby preventing the accumulation of faulty proteins.

NGD has been intensively studied in yeast and animals but it has not been described in plants yet. In yeast, NGD is induced if the elongating ribosome is stalled by a strong inhibitory structure. Then, the mRNA is cleaved by an unknown nuclease and the cleavage fragments are degraded. Here we show that NGD also operates in plant. We tested several potential NGD cis-elements and found that in plants, unlike in yeast, only long A-stretches induce NGD. These long A-stretches trigger endonucleolytic cleavage, and then the 5' fragments are degraded in a Pelota-, HBS1- and SKI2- dependent manner, while XRN4 eliminates the 3' fragment. We also show that plant NGD operates gradually, the longer the A stretch, the more efficient the cleavage. Our data suggest that mechanistically NGD is conserved in eukaryotes, although the NGD inducing cis-elements could be different. Moreover, we found that Arabidopsis AtPelota1 functions in both NGD and NSD, while AtPelota2 represses these quality control systems.
