Abstract

YT521-B homology (YTH) domain proteins act as readers of N6 -methyladenosine (m 6 A) in mRNA. Members of the YTHDF clade determine properties of m 6 A-containing mRNAs in the cytoplasm. Vertebrates encode three YTHDF proteins whose possible functional specialization is debated. In land plants, the YTHDF clade has expanded from one member in basal lineages to eleven so-called EVOLUTIONARILY CONSERVED C-TERMINAL REGION1-11 (ECT1-11) proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana , named after the conserved YTH domain placed behind a long N-terminal intrinsically disordered region (IDR). ECT2 , ECT3 and ECT4 show genetic redundancy in stimulation of primed stem cell division, but the origin and implications of YTHDF expansion in higher plants are unknown, as it is unclear whether it involves acquisition of fundamentally different molecular properties, in particular of their divergent IDRs. Here, we use functional complementation of ect2 / ect3 / ect4 mutants to test whether different YTHDF proteins can perform the same function when similarly expressed in leaf primordia. We show that stimulation of primordial cell division relies on an ancestral molecular function of the m 6 A-YTHDF axis in land plants that is present in bryophytes and is conserved over YTHDF diversification, as it appears in all major clades of YTHDF proteins in flowering plants. Importantly, although our results indicate that the YTH domains of all arabidopsis ECT proteins have m 6 A-binding capacity, lineage-specific neo-functionalization of ECT1, ECT9 and ECT11 happened after late duplication events, and involves altered properties of both the YTH domains, and, especially, of the IDRs. We also identify two biophysical properties recurrent in IDRs of YTHDF proteins able to complement ect2 ect3 ect4 mutants, a clear phase separation propensity and a charge distribution that creates electric dipoles. Human and fly YTHDFs do not have IDRs with this combination of properties and cannot replace ECT2/3/4 function in arabidopsis, perhaps suggesting different molecular activities of YTHDF proteins between major taxa. Author Summary: Regulation of gene expression is essential to life. It ensures correct balancing of cellular activities and the controlled proliferation and differentiation necessary for the development of multicellular organisms. Methylation of adenosines in mRNA (m 6 A) contributes to genetic control, and absence of m 6 A impairs embryo development in plants and vertebrates. m 6 A-dependent regulation can be exerted by a group of cytoplasmic proteins called YTHDFs. Higher plants have many more YTHDFs than animals, but it is unknown whether these many YTHDF proteins carry out fundamentally different or roughly the same molecular functions, as only a small fraction of them have been studied thus far. This work addresses the origin and reasons behind YTHDF expansion during land plant evolution and reveals that most YTHDFs in flowering plants have the same molecular functions that facilitate rapid division of differentiating stem cells. Remarkably, this molecular activity is present in the most basal lineage of land plants and functions similarly across 450 million years of land plant evolution. We also identified a few plant YTHDF proteins with divergent molecular function despite their ability to bind to m 6 A. Our work provides a firm basis for further advances on understanding molecular properties and biological contexts underlying YTHDF diversification.

Fig 1 Phylogenetic analysis of YTHDF proteins in plants. (A) Schematic representation of Viridiplantae evolution and relative position of the species used in this study. The architecture of the diagram and the age (million years, My) indicated on some nodes are a simplified version of the trees from Su et al. [59] and Bowman [62]. The length of the branches has been adjusted for illustrative purposes. (B) Phylogenetic tree of YTHDF proteins in plants (S1–S4 Datasets), with color-coding and abbreviations of species names as in A. Three YTHDF proteins from taxa outside but evolutionarily close to Viridiplantae are included as outgroup. Arabidopsis thaliana (Ath) YTHDF proteins are named after the original nomenclature for proteins containing an Evolutionarily Conserved C-Terminal Region (ECT) established by Ok et al. [40]. Proteins from other plant species adhere to the nomenclature established by Scutenaire et al. [26], with small variations reflecting additional clades (DF-E, -F) and the split of the original DF-C clade into -C and -D. Statistical support is calculated as approximate likelihood-ratio test (aLRT), and indicated by grayscale-coded spheres and values on the most relevant nodes. For simplicity, only a subset of proteins is labelled–those from one representative species of the main taxa highlighted in bold in A–, but a comprehensive representation of the same tree with all protein names and aLRT values is available in S1 Fig. The length of the branches represents the evolutionary distance in number of amino acid substitutions per site relative to the scale bar. Double lines crossing the longest branches indicate that the branch has been collapsed due to space problems, but a schematic representation of their relative lengths is shown on the lower-left corner, and not-collapsed branches can be found in S1 Fig.

Fig 2 Most but not all arabidopsis YTHDF proteins can replace ECT2/3/4-function. (A) Diagram showing the relative length of the N-terminal IDRs of Arabidopsis thaliana (Ath) YTHDF proteins (ECT1-ECT11) together with Marchantia polymorpha (Mpo) DFE, Homo sapiens (Hs) YTHDF2, and Drosophila melanogaster (Dm) YTHDF. Numbers indicate the length of the proteins in amino acids (aa). (B) Strategy followed for the functional assay. US7Yp:cECT(X)-mCherry constructs are introduced in ect2-1/ect3-1/ect4-2 (te234) plants, and complementation rates are estimated by the percentage of primary transformants (T1) whose first true leaves have a size (s) exceeding 0.5 mm after 10 days of growth. The construct US7Yp:mCherry is used as negative control. Examples of T1 seedlings expressing control and ECT2 constructs are shown. Dashed outlines are magnified below to show mCherry fluorescence in emerging leaves. (C) Weighed averages of the complementation percentages observed for each US7Yp:cECT(X)-mCherry construct in 2–5 independent transformations (I.T.). Letters between parenthesis indicate the DF- clade assigned to each protein. Colouring highlights ECT2 (reference) and proteins with low or negligible complementation capacity (ECT1/9/11) for fast identification along the manuscript. Low transformation efficiency (T.E.) for ECT9 can be inferred by the low number of transformants (n) highlighted in red, but detailed T.E. and raw complementation rates in each transformation can be found in S9 and S7A Figs respectively. Additional data regarding this assay is shown in S8 Fig. (D) Same as C on a single transformation using the rdr6-12/te234 background. (E-H) Rosette phenotype of 32-day-old T1s bearing US7Yp:cECT(X)-mCherry constructs in the rdr6-12/te234 background, sorted according to their degree of complementation in three panels: F (high), G (residual) and H (non-complementation and enhancement). Different genetic backgrounds and control transformants (mCherry) are shown in E as a reference. The scalebar (5 cm) applies to all plants in the four panels.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
