The cytidine deaminase AID hypermutates immunoglobulin genes but can also target oncogenes, leading to tumorigenesis. The extent of AID's promiscuity and its predilection for immunoglobulin genes are unknown. We report here that AID interacted broadly with promoter-proximal sequences associated with stalled polymerases and chromatin-activating marks. In contrast, genomic occupancy of replication protein A (RPA), an AID cofactor, was restricted to immunoglobulin genes. The recruitment of RPA to t ...[more]

Project description:AID promotes chromosomal translocations by inducing DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) at immunoglobulin (Ig) genes and oncogenes in G1. RPA is a ssDNA-binding protein that associates with resected DSBs in the S phase and facilitates the assembly of factors involved in homologous repair (HR) such as Rad51. Notably, RPA deposition also marks sites of AID-mediated damage, but its role in Ig gene recombination remains unclear. Here we demonstrate that RPA associates asymmetrically with resected ssDNA in response to lesions created by AID, RAG, or other nucleases. Small amounts of RPA are deposited at AID targets in G1 in an ATM-dependent manner. In contrast, recruitment in S-G2/M is extensive, ATM-independent, and associated with Rad51 accumulation. RPA in S-G2/M increases in NHEJ-deficient lymphocytes, where there is more extensive DNA-end resection. Thus, most RPA recruitment during CSR represents salvage of un-repaired breaks by homology-based pathways during the S-G2/M phases of the cell cycle. Chip-Seq of RPA from mouse activated B cells (n = 40), mouse thymocytes (n = 6), and MEFs (n = 1). Different genotypes and/or inhibitors were used.

Project description:Activation induced cytidine deaminase (AID) initiates antibody gene diversification by creating U:G mismatches. However, AID is not specific for antibody genes. Off-target lesions can activate oncogenes or cause chromosome translocations. Despite its importance in these key transactions little is known about how AID finds its target sites. To examine AID regulation we performed an shRNA screen. We found that Spt5, a factor associated with paused RNA polymerase II (Pol II) and single stranded DNA (ssDNA), is required for class switch recombination (CSR). Spt5 interacts with AID, it is required for the association of AID and Pol II, and for AID recruitment to switch regions. ChIP-seq experiments reveal that Spt5 co-localizes with AID and stalled Pol II. Further, Spt5 accumulation at sites of Pol II pausing is predictive of AID-induced mutation. Our data suggest that Spt5 acts as an adaptor, which brings AID to Pol II on target DNA. PolII, AID, and Spt5 were immunoprecipitated from in vitro activated B cells. For Spt5 and AID, two different antibodies were used in separate, biological replicates

Project description:Small RNAs of 20 to 25 nucleotides in length maintain genome integrity and control gene expression in a multitude of developmental and physiological processes. Despite RNA silencing has been primarily studied in model plants, the advent of high-throughput sequencing technologies has enabled profiling of the small RNA component of more than 40 plant species. Here, use deep sequencing and molecular methods to report the first inventory of small RNAs in olive (Olea europaea). Small RNAs of 24 nts dominate the small RNA transcriptome and atypically accumulate to levels never seen in other plant species, suggesting an active role of heterochromatin silencing in the maintenance and integrity of its large genome. By contrast, small RNAs of 20 to 22 nts were poorly represented in the population at levels lower than those found in most plant species tested. A total of 14 known miRNA families were identified in two libraries prepared from growing and dormant lateral buds. We found that some known miRNAs showed tissue- and/or developmental-specific expression. Also, seven novel, olive-specific miRNA candidates were found in our sequenced set of which 1 were supported by their star strands. Potential precursors for these miRNA candidates with intramolecular folding capacities were found in the olive EST database. Target mRNAs of conserved miRNAs and new olive-specific miRNA were computationally predicted among the olive EST collection and experimentally validated through endonucleolytic cleavage assays. Two samples analyzed: growing (juvenile) and dormant (adult) lateral buds from the progeny of a genetic cross between the Picual and Arbequina olive varieties

Project description:Asf1, through its histone chaperone activity, helps chromatin closing/opening during DNA replication, repair, recombination and transcription. Despite extensive research on Asf1-mediated physiological functions, a genome-wide localization map is lacking, limiting our knowledge of chromosomal features targeted by Asf1. We present a high-resolution genome-wide map of Asf1, localizing at essentially all pol III-transcribed genes, highly active pol II-transcribed genes and heterochromatic features. Pol III-transcribed genes are negatively regulated by Asf1, whereas pol II genes are regulated indirectly by Asf1-dependent H3K56 acetylation. Interestingly, Asf1 localization along yeast chromosomes shows nearly identical distribution to that of the condensin complex, predicting a functional overlap in chromosome architecture and genome organization. ChIP-seq analysis of Asf1 targets using a yeast strain that expresses an 18-Myc tag fused to the C-terminus of ASF1. Two biological replicates and one mock/control were performed. The Illumina GAII was used. ChIP-seq reads are aligned to the budding yeast sacCer3 (2011) assembly.

Project description:Although the cellular concentration of miRNAs is critical to their function, how miRNA expression and abundance are regulated during ontogeny is unclear. We used deep-sequencing to characterize the microRNome from most developing lymphocytes, various hematopoietic cell lineages, and representative mouse tissues. Epigenetic and transcriptome profiles were also compiled from selected T and B cell stages by ChIP-Seq and mRNA-Seq respectively. We show that lymphocyte-specific miRNAs are either tightly regulated during development by polycomb group-mediated H3K27me3, or maintained in a semi-activated state prior to full expression. Because of extensive miRNA biogenesis, the cellular concentration of mature miRNAs does not typically reflect transcriptional changes. However, we here uncovered a subset of miRNAs for which abundance is directly regulated by miRNA gene expression. Our data provides the most comprehensive view of the microRNome in the immune system and reveal underlying epigenetic and transcriptional forces that shape miRNA homeostasis. small RNA expression profiles of 27 well defined cell types from the mouse immune system, hematopoietic progenitor cells, embryonic stem cells, as well as 12 tissues. Biological and technical replicates for 3 of the cell types were included.

Project description:The critical initial step in V(D)J recombination, binding of RAG1 and RAG2 to recombination signal sequences flanking antigen receptor V, D, and J gene segments, has not previously been characterized in vivo. Here we demonstrate that RAG protein binding occurs in a highly focal manner to a small region of active chromatin encompassing Igκ and Tcrα J gene segments and Igh and Tcrβ J and J-proximal D gene segments. Formation of these small RAG-bound regions, which we refer to as recombination centers, occurs in a developmental stage- and lineage-specific manner. Each RAG protein is independently capable of specific binding within recombination centers. While RAG1 binding is restricted to regions containing recombination signal sequences, RAG2 binds extremely broadly in a pattern that mirrors that of trimethylated lysine 4 of histone 3. We propose that recombination centers coordinate V(D)J recombination by providing discrete sites within which gene segments are captured for recombination. RAG2 binding was analyzed in wild type, RAG2-/-β, and D708A-RAG1-/-β thymocytes. Histone modification H3K4me3 was analyzed in D708A-RAG1-/-β and wild type thymocytes.

Project description:Transcriptional gene silencing controls transposons and other repetitive elements through RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) and heterochromatin formation. A key component of the Arabidopsis RdDM pathway is ARGONAUTE4 (AGO4), which associates with sizs to mediate DNA methylation. Here, we show that AGO4 preferentially targets transposable elements embedded within promoters of protein-coding genes. This pattern of AGO4 binding cannot be simply explained by the sequences of AGO4-bound siRNAs; instead, AGO4 binding to specific gene promoters is also mediated by long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) produced by RNA polymerase V. lncRNA-mediated AGO4 binding to gene promoters directs asymmetric DNA methylation to these genomic regions and is involved in regulating the expression of targeted genes. Finally, AGO4 binding overlaps sites of DNA methylation affected by the biotic stress response. Based on these findings, we propose that the targets of AGO4-directed RdDM are regulatory units responsible for controlling gene expression under specific environmental conditions.
