Project description:Background: Eukaryotic cells must inhibit re-initiation of DNA replication at each of the thousands of origins in their genome because re-initiation events can generate genomic alterations with extraordinary frequency. To minimize the probability of re-initiation from so many origins, cells use a battery of regulatory mechanisms that reduce the activity of replication initiation proteins. Given the global nature of these mechanisms, it has been presumed that all origins are inhibited identically. However, transiently disabling these mechanisms causes replication origins to re-initiate with diverse efficiencies, which do not correlate with known differences in the efficiency or timing of origin initiation during normal DNA replication. These observations suggest an additional local layer of replication control that can differentially influence how re-initiation is regulated at distinct origins. Principal Findings: We have identified novel genetic elements that are necessary for preferential re-initiation of two origins and sufficient to confer preferential re-initiation on heterologous origins when the control of re-initiation is partially deregulated. The elements do not enhance the S phase timing or efficiency of adjacent origins and thus are specifically acting as re-initiation promoters (RIPs). We have mapped the two RIPs to ~60bp AT rich sequences that act in a distance- and sequence-dependent manner. During the induction of re-replication, Mcm2-7 re-associates both with origins that preferentially re-initiate and origins that do not, suggesting that the RIP elements can overcome a block to re-initiation imposed after Mcm2-7 associates with origins. Conclusions/Significance: We have uncovered a local level of control in the block to re-initiation. This local control creates a complex genomic landscape of re-replication potential that is revealed when global mechanisms preventing re-replication are peeled away. Hence, if re-replication does contribute to genomic alterations, as has been speculated for cancer cells, some regions of the genome may be more susceptible to these alterations than others. 142 array CGH experiments are presented. Each experiment is done in experimental replicate. Cells grown as described in Richardson CD and Li JJ PLoS Genetics 2014. Ch1 samples taken from replicating (S phase) or re-replicating (M phase + 3/6 hour induced). Ch2 samples taken from M phase arrested DNA.

Project description:To determine which of the genes differentially expressed between P1-rr and P1-ww pericarps were immediate (direct) targets of P1, we conducted chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-Seq) using P1 polyclonal antibodies (alphaP1344) that recognize the non-conserved C-terminal region of P1 (Falcone Ferreyra et al., 2010), on pericarp chromatin. Comparison of pericarp chromatin inmunoprecipitated material P-rr_14DAP (P1 expressed) vs P-ww_14DAP (P1 not expressed) to determine P1 direct targets

Project description:DNA methylation is an important biological form of epigenetic modification, playing key roles in plant development and environmental responses. In this study, we examined single-base resolution methylomes of Populus under control and drought stress conditions using high-throughput bisulfite sequencing for the first time. Our data showed methylation levels of methylated cytosines, upstream2kp, downstream2kb, and repeatitive sequences significantly increased after drought treatment in Populus. Interestingly, methylation in 100 bp upstream of the transcriptional start site (TSS) repressed gene expression, while methylations in 100 – 2000bp upstream of TSS and within the gene body were positively associated with gene expression. Integrated with the transcriptomic data, we found that all cis-splicing genes were non-methylated, suggesting that DNA methylation may not associate with cis-splicing. However, our results showed that 80% of trans-splicing genes were methylated. Moreover, we found 1156 transcription factors (TFs) with reduced methylation and expression levels and 690 TFs with increased methylation and expression levels after drought treatment. These TFs may play important roles in Populus drought stress responses through the changes of DNA methylation. Taken together, these findings may provide valuable new insight into our understanding of the interaction between gene expression and methylation of drought responses in Populus.

Project description:P1 encodes an R2R3-MYB transcription factor responsible for the accumulation of insecticidal flavones in maize silks and red phlobaphene pigments in pericarps and other floral tissues, which contributed to making P1 an important visual marker since the dawn of modern genetics. We conducted RNA-Seq using from maize silks obtained at 2-3 days after emergence. High-throughput sequencing using the Illumina platform resulted in the generation of ~14 million high quality reads, corresponding to ~7 million reads for each sample, from which 76% aligned to the maize genome.

Project description:We examine how different transcriptional network structures can evolve from an ancestral network. We show that regulatory protein modularity, conversion of one cis-regulatory sequence to another, distribution of binding energy among protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions, and exploitation of ancestral network features all contribute to the evolution of a novel mode of regulation at a conserved gene set. The formation of this derived mode of regulation did not disrupt the ancestral mode and thereby created a hybrid regulatory state where both means of transcription regulation (ancestral and derived) contribute to the conserved expression pattern of the network. Finally, we show how this hybrid regulatory state has resolved in different ways in different lineages to generate the diversity of regulatory network structures observed in modern species. Six samples were analyzed, three of which were controls and three of which were experimental

Project description:P1 encodes an R2R3-MYB transcription factor responsible for the accumulation of insecticidal flavones in maize silks and red phlobaphene pigments in pericarps and other floral tissues, which contributed to making P1 an important visual marker since the dawn of modern genetics. We conducted RNA-Seq using pericarps at two different stages, 14 and 25 days after pollination (DAP). High-throughput sequencing using the Illumina platform resulted in the generation of ~20 million high quality reads, from which ~90% aligned to the recently completed maize genome sequence corresponding to ~5 million reads for each one of the four samples.

Project description:Retinal cells are specified in a zebrafish recessive mutant called young (yng) but they fail to terminally differentiate; i.e. extend neurites and make synaptic contacts. A point mutation in a brahma-related gene 1 (brg1) is responsible for this phenotype. In this microarray study, a three-factor factorial design was utilized to investigate the effects of 1) mutation, 2) change in time (36 vs. 52hpf), and 3) change in tissue (retina vs. whole embryos), and their interactions on gene expression. Significant probesets were inferred by using both specific contrasts of the fitted Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) models and a corresponding 2-fold expression cutoff. The probesets were grouped into three broad categories: 1) Brg1-regulated retinal differentiation genes (731 probsets), 2) Retinal specific genes but independent of Brg1 regulation (3038 probesets) and 3) Genes regulated by Brg1 but outside the retina (107 probesets). Four gene groups/pathways including neurite outgrowth regulators, Delta-Notch signalling molecules, Irx family members and specific cell cycle regulators were identified in the first group, and their relevance for retinal differentiation functionally validated. This study demonstrates that an approach such as ours can identify relevant genes and pathways involved in retinal development as well as the development of other tissues at the same time. Experiment Overall Design: The gene expression levels of three independent replicates of retina consisting of ten samples each at 36 and 52hpf retinas from WT (WR36 & WR52) and yng (YR36 & YR52) larvae, and stage-matched whole embryos: WT at 36hpf (WA36), WT at 52hpf (WA52), yng at 36hpf (YA36), and yng at 52hpf (YA52) were measured by Affymetrix Zebrafish Whole Genome Arrays. We analyzed the effects of these factors on gene expression levels: 1) mutation (M), 2) tissue (R), and 3) time (T). Each of these factors have two levels: mutant and WT (M); retinas and whole body (R); and 36 and 52 hpf (T). As a result, there are totally eight conditions for all the comparisons and the design is called a 2x2x2 factorial design. The aim of a factorial analysis is to delineate the effects of each factor and their combinations (interaction) on gene expression. The overall analysis strategy is to first fit a full Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) model with all possible main effects (T, M, R) and their interactions (T*M, M*R, R*M, T*M*R) to the gene expression data for each probeset. The estimates of the model are obtained through a maximum likelihood estimation method. Then a backward elimination strategy is used to remove insignificant main effects and interactions to get the most parsimonious models. Finally, a group of contrasts and their corresponding fold changes are used to infer whether that probeset is significantly associated with a particular biological process.

Project description:Aging and the chronic diseases associated with aging have become a great burden to modern society. Recent animal studies on heterochronic parabiosis have revealed that young blood has a powerful rejuvenating effect on aged tissues, but which components of the young blood are responsible for the rejuvenating effects remains unclear. In this study, we found that small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) purified from the plasma of young mice could counteract pre-existing aging at the molecular, mitochondrial, cellular and physiological levels. In detail, injection of young sEVs into aged mice extended lifespan, attenuated senescent phenotypes and mitigate age-associated impairments on various tissues (hippocampus, muscle, heart, testis, bone, etc). Mechanistical studies using iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomic analyses combined with GO term cluster revealed that the altered proteomes in aged tissues of young sEVs-treated mice were specifically related to their roles in regulating cellular senescence, metabolic process, epigenetic modification, genomic stability, etc, which are the cardinal features associated with aging. Particularly, the sEVs derived from young mice and young human donors could stimulate PGC-1α (a master regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis and energy metabolism) expression in vitro and in vivo through their rejuvenating miRNA cargos, thereby facilitating mitochondrial regeneration and counteracting mitochondrial deficits in aged tissues. Taken together, this study demonstrates that young sEVs can reverse degenerative changes and age-related dysfunctions through stimulating PGC-1α expression and regenerating intact mitochondria.
