Project description:Zic3 regulates early embryonic patterning in vertebrates. Its loss-of-function disrupts gastrulation, left-right patterning, and neurogenesis. We use the zebrafish as a model to study the developmental role of Zic3 in vivo. Using a combination of two genomics approaches – ChIP-seq and microarray, we identified Zic3 targets, which include genes from the Nodal and Wnt pathways, and show for the first time cis-regulation of these genes by Zic3 using in vivo enhancer assay. We uncovered a previously unrecognized link between Zic3 and the non-canonical Wnt pathway in gastrulation and left-right patterning, and identified neural pre-pattern genes as Zic3 targets during the early steps of neural induction. Zic3 preferably binds to distal intergenic regions, some of which contain evolutionarily conserved functional enhancers. Our study establishes the zebrafish as an excellent model for genome-wide study of a transcription factor in vivo. Zic3 ChIP of wild type and sqet33 transgenic

Project description:Despite the prevalence of antisense transcripts in bacterial transcriptomes, little is known about how their synthesis is controlled. We report that a major function of the Escherichia coli termination factor Rho and its co-factor NusG is suppression of ubiquitous antisense transcription genome-wide. Rho binds C-rich unstructured nascent RNA (high C/G ratio) prior to its ATP-dependent dissociation of transcription complexes. NusG is required for efficient termination at minority subsets (~20%) of both antisense and sense Rho-dependent terminators with lower C/G ratio sequences. In contrast, a widely studied nusA deletion proposed to compromise Rho-dependent termination had no effect on antisense or sense Rho-dependent terminators in vivo. Global co-localization of the nucleoid-associated protein H-NS with Rho-dependent terminators and genetic interactions between hns and rho suggest that H-NS aids Rho in suppression of antisense transcription. The combined actions of Rho, NusG, and H-NS appear to be analogous to the Sen1-Nrd1-Nab3 and nucleosome systems that suppress antisense transcription in eukaryotes. RNA-seq experiments were performed on ribosome-depleted RNA from cells treated with 20 ug/ml bicyclomycin or untreated cells. The series contains 4 datasets.

Project description:The molecular mechanisms of ethanol toxicity and tolerance in bacteria, while important for biotechnology and bioenergy applications, remain incompletely understood. Genetic studies have identified potential cellular targets for ethanol and revealed multiple mechanisms of tolerance, but it remains difficult to separate direct and indirect effects of ethanol. We used adaptive evolution to generate spontaneous ethanol-tolerant strains of Escherichia coli, then characterized the mechanisms of toxicity and resistance associated with select mutations. Evolved alleles of metJ, rho, and rpsQ were sufficient to recapitulate much of the observed ethanol tolerance, implicating translation and transcription as key processes affected by ethanol. We found that ethanol induces mistranslation errors during protein synthesis, and that the evolved rpsQ allele protects cells by rendering the ribosome hyper-accurate. Ribosome profiling and RNAseq analyses of the ethanol-tolerant strain versus the wild type established that ethanol negatively affects transcriptional and translational processivity. Ethanol-stressed cells exhibited ribosomal stalling at internal AUG codons, which may be ameliorated by the adaptive inactivation of the MetJ repressor of methionine biosynthesis genes. Ethanol also caused aberrant intragenic transcription termination for mRNAs with low ribosome density, which was reduced in a strain with the adaptive rho mutation. Furthermore, ethanol inhibited transcript elongation by RNA polymerase in vitro. We propose that ethanol-induced inhibition and uncoupling of mRNA and protein synthesis are major contributors to ethanol toxicity in E. coli, and that adaptive mutations in metJ, rho, and rpsQ protect central dogma processes in the presence of ethanol.

Project description:Cell fate transitions involve integration of genomic information encoded by regulatory elements, such as enhancers, with the cellular environment. However, identification of the genomic sequences that control the earliest steps of human embryonic development represents a formidable challenge. Here we show that in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) unique chromatin signatures identify two distinct classes of genomic elements, both of which are marked by the presence of chromatin regulators p300 and BRG1, and monomethylation of histone H3 at lysine 4 (H3K4me1). In addition, the elements of the first class are distinguished by the acetylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27ac), overlap with previously characterized enhancers active in hESCs, and are generally located proximally to genes expressed in hESCs and in the epiblast. In contrast, the elements within the second class, which we termed M-bM-^@M-^\poised enhancersM-bM-^@M-^], are distinguished by the absence of H3K27ac, enrichment of histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) and are linked to genes inactive in hESCs and involved in orchestrating early steps in mammalian development, such as gastrulation, mesoderm formation and neurulation. Consistent with the poised identity, during differentiation of hESCs to neuroepithelium, a neuroectoderm-specific subset of these elements acquires a chromatin signature associated with active enhancers. Remarkably, when assayed in zebrafish embryos, human poised enhancer elements are able to direct cell type and stage specific expression patterns characteristic of their proximal developmental gene, even in the absence of sequence conservation in the fish genome. Our data demonstrate that enhancers are epigenetically pre-marked and suggest a heretofore unappreciated role of H3K27me3 at distal regulatory elements. Moreover, the unique chromatin signature associated with poised enhancers allowed us to uncover over 2,000 putative developmental regulatory sequences, thereby creating an invaluable resource for future studies and isolation of transient, rare cell populations representing early steps of human development.

Project description:Somatic DNA alteration underlies tumor development and progression, and gives rise to tumors with diverse genetic contexts. Here, we identify in a collection of 29 colorectal cancer cell lines and 226 primary colorectal tumors recurrent amplification of chromosome 13, an alteration highly restricted to colorectal-derived cancers. A minimal region of amplification on 13q12.2 pinpoints caudal type homeobox transcription factor CDX2, a master regulator of anterior-posterior patterning, midgut development, and intestinal epithelial cell differentiation and maintenance. In contrast to its described role as a colorectal tumor suppressor, we show that in the context of genomic amplification, CDX2 is required for proliferation and anchorage-independent growth of colorectal cancer cells. By genome-wide expression and location analysis, we reveal that CDX2 directly promotes expression of Wnt pathway genes. Further results suggest that CDX2 induces expression of intestinal differentiation markers and modulates β-catenin transcriptional activity. These data characterize CDX2 as a novel lineage-survival oncogene deregulated in colorectal cancer. ChIP-seq analysis of CDX2 binding sites in COLO320 cells

Project description:Naïve and primed pluripotency is characterized by distinct signaling requirements, transcriptomes and developmental properties, but both cellular states share key transcriptional regulators, Oct4, Sox2 and Nanog. Here we demonstrate that transition between these two pluripotent states is associated with widespread Oct4 relocalization, mirrored by global rearrangement of enhancer chromatin landscapes. Our genomic and biochemical analyses identified candidate mediators of primed state-specific Oct4 binding, including Otx2 and Zic2/3. Even in the absence of other differentiation cues, premature Otx2 overexpression is sufficient to exit the naïve state, induce transcription of a large subset of primed pluripotency-associated genes and redirect Oct4 to thousands of previously inaccessible sites. However, ability of Otx2 to engage new enhancer regions is determined by its levels, cis-encoded properties of the sites and signaling environment. Our results illuminate regulatory mechanisms underlying pluripotency and suggest that capacity of transcription factors such as Otx2 and Oct4 to function as pioneers is highly context-dependent ChIP-seq analysis was performed to map enhancers and associated transcription factors. We used H3K27ac, H3K4me1 and p300 to call enhancers from 2 different pluripotent cell states: ESC and EpiLC. In addition we performed ChIP-seq for Oct4 and Otx2 from these cell states. All these experiments were carried out in replicates, for the EpiLC state the replicates were performed with and without ActivinA. Additionally we carried out ChIPseq for Otx2 and Oct4 in Otx2ko cell lines in which we integrated an inducible Otx2 gene before and after induction with doxycycline.

Project description:Genome-wide mapping of proteinM-bM-^@M-^SDNA interactions is essential for a full understanding of transcriptional regulation. A precise map of binding sites for transcription factors, core transcriptional machinery is vital for deciphering the gene regulatory networks that underlie various biological processes. Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIPM-bM-^@M-^Sseq) is a technique for genome-wide profiling of DNA-binding proteins. However, our conventional ChIPM-bM-^@M-^Sseq occasionally gives wider peaks which might be due to overlapping binding sites of two or more transcription factors. Therefore, to improve the resolution of our conventional ChIPM-bM-^@M-^Sseq which have DNA-protein footprint of ~100 bp, we decreased the size of DNA-protein footprint to ~ 50 bp by DNaseI digestion of whole cell extract (WCE).

Project description:Alternative splicing (AS) is a key process underlying the expansion of proteomic diversity and the regulation of gene expression. However, the contribution of AS to the control of embryonic stem cell (ESC) pluripotency is not well understood. Here, we identify an evolutionarily conserved ESC-specific AS event that changes the DNA binding preference of the forkhead family transcription factor FOXP1. We show that the ESC-specific isoform of FOXP1 stimulates the expression of transcription factor genes required for pluripotency including OCT4, NANOG, NR5A2 and GDF3, while concomitantly repressing genes required for ESC differentiation. Remarkably, this isoform also promotes the maintenance of ESC pluripotency and the efficient reprogramming of somatic cells to induced pluripotent stem cells. These results thus reveal that an AS switch plays a pivotal role in the regulation of pluripotency and functions by controlling critical ESC-specific transcriptional programs. To identify genes potentially directly regulated by FOXP1-ES and FOXP1 in H9 ESCs, we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-Seq). Using an antibody capable of efficiently immunoprecipitating both isoforms, >3400 significant ChIP-Seq peaks were detected across the human genome. To assess if these peaks are sites of FOXP1 and FOXP1-ES occupancy, we determined whether they are significantly enriched in individual PBM-derived 8-mers that bind to either or both isoforms.
