    Description: Light is a source of energy and also a regulator of plant physiological adaptations. We show here that light/dark conditions affect alternative splicing of a subset of Arabidopsis genes preferentially encoding proteins involved in RNA processing. The effect requires functional chloroplasts and is also observed in roots when the communication with the photosynthetic tissues is not interrupted, suggesting that a signaling molecule travels through the plant. Using photosynthetic electron transfer inhibitors with different mechanisms of action, we deduce that the reduced pool of plastoquinones initiates a chloroplast retrograde signaling that regulates nuclear alternative splicing and is necessary for proper plant responses to varying light conditions.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4382720/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4382720/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Petrillo, Ezequiel -- Godoy Herz, Micaela A -- Fuchs, Armin -- Reifer, Dominik -- Fuller, John -- Yanovsky, Marcelo J -- Simpson, Craig -- Brown, John W S -- Barta, Andrea -- Kalyna, Maria -- Kornblihtt, Alberto R -- BB/G024979/1/Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council/United Kingdom -- P 26333/Austrian Science Fund FWF/Austria -- Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2014 Apr 25;344(6182):427-30. doi: 10.1126/science.1250322.

    Description: Alternative splicing (AS) coupled to nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) is a post-transcriptional mechanism for regulating gene expression. We have used a high-resolution AS RT–PCR panel to identify endogenous AS isoforms which increase in abundance when NMD is impaired in the Arabidopsis NMD factor mutants, upf1-5 and upf3-1 . Of 270 AS genes (950 transcripts) on the panel, 102 transcripts from 97 genes (32%) were identified as NMD targets. Extrapolating from these data around 13% of intron-containing genes in the Arabidopsis genome are potentially regulated by AS/NMD. This cohort of naturally occurring NMD-sensitive AS transcripts also allowed the analysis of the signals for NMD in plants. We show the importance of AS in introns in 5' or 3'UTRs in modulating NMD-sensitivity of mRNA transcripts. In particular, we identified upstream open reading frames overlapping the main start codon as a new trigger for NMD in plants and determined that NMD is induced if 3'-UTRs were 〉350 nt. Unexpectedly, although many intron retention transcripts possess NMD features, they are not sensitive to NMD. Finally, we have shown that AS/NMD regulates the abundance of transcripts of many genes important for plant development and adaptation including transcription factors, RNA processing factors and stress response genes.

    Description: AtCyp59 is a multidomain cyclophilin containing a peptidyl-prolyl cis / trans isomerase (PPIase) domain and an evolutionarily highly conserved RRM domain. Deregulation of this class of cyclophilins has been shown to affect transcription and to influence phosphorylation of the C-terminal repeat domain of the largest subunit of the RNA polymerase II. We used a genomic SELEX method for identifying RNA targets of AtCyp59. Analysis of the selected RNAs revealed an RNA-binding motif (G[U/C]N[G/A]CC[A/G]) and we show that it is evolutionarily conserved. Binding to this motif was verified by gel shift assays in vitro and by RNA immunopreciptation assays of AtCyp59 in vivo . Most importantly, we show that binding also occurs on unprocessed transcripts in vivo and that binding of specific RNAs inhibits the PPIase activity of AtCyp59 in vitro . Surprisingly, genome-wide analysis showed that the RNA motif is present in about 70% of the annotated transcripts preferentially in exons. Taken together, the available data suggest that these cyclophilins might have an important function in transcription regulation.
