Systems biology study of transcriptional and post-transcriptional co-regulatory network sheds light on key regulators involved in important biological processes in Citrus sinensis

Transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulators including transcription regulator, transcription factor and miRNA are the main endogenous molecular elements which control complex cellular mechanisms such as development, growth and response to biotic and abiotic stresses in a coordinated manner in plants. Utilizing the most recent information on such relationships in a plant species, obtained from high-throughput experimental technologies and advanced computational tools, we can reconstruct its co-regulatory network which consequently sheds light on key regulators involved in its important biological processes. In this article, combined systems biology approaches such as mining the literatures, various databases and network reconstruction, analysis, and visualization tools were employed to infer and visualize the coregulatory relationships between miRNAs and transcriptional regulators in Citrus sinensis. Using computationally and experimentally verified miRNA-target interactions and constructed co-expression networks on array-based data, 10 coregulatory networks and 10 corresponding subgraphs include FFL motifs were obtained for 10 distinct tissues/conditions. Then PPI subnetworks were extracted for transcripts/genes included in mentioned subgraphs in order to the functional analysis of extracted coregulatory circuits. These proposed coregulatory connections shed light on precisely identifying C. sinensis metabolic pathways key switches, which are demanded for ultimate goals such as genome editing.
