Co-expression analysis between proteasome and network members' genes revealed transcriptional co-regulation influenced by proteasome associated cis-elements. Highlighting a gene regulatory network in which the 26S proteasome has been embedded throughout plant evolution.
130
Gautier Langin @glangin.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
To test this, we used Evolutionary-rate covariation analysis to build a protein network whose members have co-evolved with proteasome subunits. It produced a proteostasis-centered network, which gene promoters showed enrichment for proteasome associated cis-elements, mirroring proteasome ones.
130
Gautier Langin @glangin.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
We know that the proteasome complex is connected to other cellular pathways through shared cis-elements. Perhaps the proteasome is part of a regulatory network that influenced its associated cis-elements' evolution.
130
Gautier Langin @glangin.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
But then, if the mechanistic logic is conserved and some regulators are widely conserved; why do we see such a systematic diversification of the cis-regulatory architecture?

We hypothesized that TRBs could be regulators of proteasome genes in A. thaliana. And indeed, we could validate AtTRB4 and AtTRB5 as novel positive regulators of 26S proteasome homeostasis maintenance.

Gautier Langin @glangin.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
On closer look, we found an element enriched in multiple distantly related species: the telobox [AACCCTA]. Literature indicates that this motif is recognized by TRB proteins in plants. But also, public ChIP-seq data revealed TRBs association with PRCE at A. thaliana proteasome promoters!

Gautier Langin @glangin.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
Given the conserved logic of proteasome genes regulation in eukaryotes, there should be (an)other actor(s) doing the job in other plants. In fact, our analysis revealed a striking and specific diversification of associated cis-elements. Suggesting not one but many specific actors.
130
Gautier Langin @glangin.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
Spoiler: No, not really! We analyzed proteasome-associated cis-elements and found that the known cis-element (the PRCE from A. thaliana) is specific to mesangiosperms, as are NAC53 & NAC78 recognizing this cis-element.
130
Gautier Langin @glangin.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
So it appears that despite repertoire specificity, paralog divergence is consistently linked to proteasome homeostasis maintenance in response to stress! But we only know one mechanism controlling this; is it really conserved across plants? 🤔
130
Gautier Langin @glangin.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
So we investigated mRNA profiles from several species and contexts with respect to paralog divergence, in short: - Very few pseudogenization cases ❌ - Very few divergences at the tissue level ❌ - Notable and consistent divergence in response to environmental cues ✅
130
Gautier Langin @glangin.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
It suggests that subunit sequences have been fine-tuned to accommodate different cellular environments. It also implies that these gene repertoires are precisely controlled transcriptionally as subjected to gene dosage balance and paralog interference constraints.
130
Gautier Langin @glangin.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
We could observe that these genes have been subjected to pervasive purifying selection but encode subunits which diverge markedly through diversification of PTM site and electrostatic potential fine-tuning (between species and between paralogs within species).
130
Gautier Langin @glangin.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
To investigate the origin and fate of proteasome duplicates, we performed a thorough analysis of proteasome subunits from 18 representative plant species. Strikingly, we observed very specific expansions of this repertoire with every species possessing a unique gene set.
130
Gautier Langin @glangin.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
The project started with 2 observations: 1) The gene repertoire size encoding 26S proteasome complex varies largely between model organisms 2) Known transcriptional activators are of distinct evolutionary origin despite mechanistically conserved function (see: 10.1016/j.molcel.2026.04.004)
