45S rDNA Diversity In Natura as One Step towards Ribosomal Heterogeneity in Arabidopsis thaliana

Résumé

The keystone of ribosome biogenesis is the transcription of 45S rDNA. The Arabidopsis thaliana genome contains hundreds of 45S rDNA units; however, they are not all transcribed. Notably, 45S rDNA units contain insertions/deletions revealing the existence of heterogeneous rRNA genes and, likely, heterogeneous ribosomes for rRNAs. In order to obtain an overall picture of 45S rDNA diversity sustaining the synthesis of rRNAs and, subsequently, of ribosomes in natura, we took advantage of 320 new occurrences of Arabidopsis thaliana as a metapopulation named At66, sampled from 0 to 1900 m of altitude in the eastern Pyrenees in France. We found that the 45S rDNA copy number is very dynamic in natura and identified new genotypes for both 5 and 3 External Transcribed Spacers (ETS). Interestingly, the highest 5 ETS genotype diversity is found in altitude while the highest 3 ETS genotype diversity is found at sea level. Structural analysis of 45S rDNA also shows conservation in natura of specific 5 ETS and 3 ETS sequences/features required to control rDNA expression and the processing of rRNAs. In conclusion, At66 is a worthwhile natural laboratory, and unraveled 45S rDNA diversity represents an interesting starting material to select subsets for rDNA transcription and alter the rRNA composition of ribosomes both intra-and inter-site.
