Project description:The active vitamin A derivative retinoic acid (RA) is an important regulator of adult brain functions. How these regulations are achieved is poorly known, partly due to the paucity of information on RA molecular targets. The striatum, the region involved in control of motor, cognitive and affective functions, may be particularly prone to such regulation as it displays the highest levels of RA and its receptors (RARs). We report the first genome-wide analysis of RAR-binding sites in the brain. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq), as well as transcriptomic analysis of RARβ-null mutant mice, we identified genomic transcriptional targets of RARβ in the striatum. Our data point to a strong contribution of RARβ in controlling neurotransmission, energy metabolism, and transcription, with a particular involvement of G-protein, cAMP and calcium signaling. Quantitative PCR analysis of striatal subregions revealed a higher sensitivity of ventral structures (nucleus accumbens) to lack of RARβ signaling. There is a high overlap of transcriptional targets of RARβ and genes affected in expression in Huntingtonâs disease (HD), and we observed a decrease of RARβ expression in the striatum of R6/2 transgenic mice, a murine model of HD. A large number of genes bearing RARβ binding sites have also been implicated in Alzheimerâs and Parkinsonâs diseases, raising the possibility that compromised RA signaling in striatum may be a mechanistic link explaining the similar affective and cognitive symptoms of these diseases. Globally, our data point to a possibility of a neuroprotective function of RARβ in the striatum. Genome-wide mapping of RARβ and H3K4me3 binding sites in mouse caudate putamen

Project description:At Schizosaccharomyces pombe centromeres, heterochromatin formation is required for de novo incorporation of the histone H3 variant CENP-A/Cnp1, which in turn directs kinetochore assembly and ultimately chromosome segregation during mitosis. Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) transcribed by RNA polymerase II (Pol II) directs heterochromatin formation via the RNAi machinery, but also through RNAiindependent RNA processing factors. Control of centromeric ncRNA transcription is therefore a key factor for proper centromere function. We here use transcriptional profiling, gene inactivation experiments, and chromatin immunoprecipitation analyses to demonstrate that the Mediator complex directs ncRNA transcription and regulates centromeric heterochromatin formation in fission yeast. Mediator co-localizes with Pol II at centromeres and loss of the Mediator subunit Med20 causes a dramatic increase in pericentromeric transcription and desilencing of the core centromere. As a consequence, heterochromatin formation is impaired both via the RNAi dependent and independent pathways, resulting in loss of CENP-A/Cnp1 from the core centromere, defect kinetochore function, and a severe chromosome segregation defect. Interestingly, the increased centromeric transcription observed in med20Δ appears to directly block CENP-A/Cnp1 incorporation and inhibition of Pol II transcription can suppress the observed phenotypes. Our data thus identify Mediator as a crucial regulator of ncRNA transcription at fission yeast centromeres and add another crucial layer of regulation to centromere function. 3 samples examined: wild type chromatin incubated with beads as the non antibody control, wild type chromatin incubated with RNA Polymerase II CTD domain antibody and Protein G beads, and TAP-Med7 cells chromatin incubated with IgG beads.

Project description:Kinetochores assemble on centromeres via histone H3 variant CENP-A and low levels of noncoding centromere transcripts (cenRNAs). The latter are ensured by transcription factor Cbf1 (S. cerevisiae), centromere-binding protein CENP-B (humans), and the local histone code downregulating RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) activity. CenRNAs levels are further adjusted by the nuclear exosome. Using S. cerevisiae, we now add kinase Rio1 to this scheme. Yeast cenRNAs are produced mostly from the periCEN regions as short (median lengths of 231nt) or long (4,458nt) transcripts, in a 1:1 ratio. Rio1 limits their production by reducing RNAPII access and transcription activity, and promotes their turnover by the 5’-3’exoribonuclease Rat1. Rio1 similarly curtails the concentrations of noncoding pericenRNAs, which nevertheless exist at a magnitude higher level than the cenRNAs. Similar to yeast, human cells depleted of orthologue RioK1 exhibit cenRNA buildup, kinetochore malformation, and chromosomal instability, suggesting that CEN regulation by Rio1/RioK1 is evolutionary conserved.

Project description:We report the sequences bound to CENP-A in the dog genome (Canis familiaris) for high-throughput characterization of centromeric sequences. We compare these ChIPSeq reads (72 bp, single read) against a reference centromeric satellite DNA domain database for the dog genome, resulting in the annotation of sequence variation and estimated abundance of seven satellite families together with adjacent, non-satellite sequences. To study global patterns of sequence diversity and characterizing the subset of sequences correlated with centromere function, these sequences were evaluated relative to a comprehensive centromere sequence domain k-mer library. From this analysis, we identify functional sequence features from two satellite families (CarSat1 and CarSat2) that are defined by distinct arrays subtypes.

Project description:LHY and CCA1 encode single MYB transcription factors, involved in circadian clock. However, direct target genes of LHY and CCA1 in a genomic scale were largely unknown. To reveal bound genes by CCA1, chimeric protein CCA1-FLAG was expressed under CCA1 promoter in cca1 lhy (CCA1pro:CCA1-FLAG/ cca1 lhy). ChIP was performed using anti-FLAG antibody (F3165; SIGMA), which was bound to Dynabeads Protein G (100-03D; Life Technologies), and ChIP DNA were analyzed by IonPGM or Illumina GAII. Chromatin immunoprecipitation was performed for CCA1-FLAG-expressing Arabidopsis. ChIP DNA was analyzed 2 types of deep sequencers (Illumina GAII and IonPGM).

Project description:Huntington neurodegenerative disease (HD) is associated with extensive down-regulation of neuronal genes. We show preferential down-regulation of super-enhancer-regulated neuronal function genes in the striatum of HD mice. Striatal super-enhancers display extensive H3K27 acetylation within gene bodies and drive transcription characterized by low levels of paused RNAPII. Down-regulation of gene expression is associated with diminished H3K27 acetylation and RNAPII recruitment. Striatal super-enhancers are enriched in binding motifs for Gata transcription factors, such as Gata2 regulating striatal identity genes. Thus, enhancer topography and transcription dynamics are major parameters determining the propensity of a gene to be deregulated in a neurodegenerative disease.

Project description:The mechanistic links between transcription factors and the epigenetic landscape, which coordinate the deregulation of gene networks during cell transformation are largely unknown. We used an isogenic model of stepwise tumorigenic transformation of human primary cells to monitor the progressive deregulation of gene networks upon immortalization and oncogene-induced transformation. By combining transcriptome and epigenome data for each step during transformation and by integrating transcription factor (TF) - target gene associations, we identified 142 TFs and 24 chromatin remodelers/modifiers (CRMs), which are preferentially associated with specific co-expression paths that originate from deregulated gene programming during tumorigenesis. These TFs are involved in the regulation of divers processes, including cell differentiation, immune response and establishment/modification of the epigenome. Unexpectedly, the analysis of chromatin state dynamics revealed patterns that distinguish groups of genes, which are not only co-regulated but also functionally related. Further decortication of TF targets enabled us to define potential key regulators of cell transformation, which are engaged in RNA metabolism and chromatin remodelling. Our study suggests a direct implication of CRMs in oncogene-induced tumorigenesis and identifies new CRMs involved in this process. This is the first comprehensive view of gene regulatory networks that are altered during the process of stepwise human cellular tumorigenesis in a virtually isogenic system.

Project description:We used native ChIP-seq of CENP-A-containing particles from normal centromeres on alpha-satellite DNA and three naturally-occurring neocentromeres to test the proposed models for the major form of the fundamental repeating unit of centromeric chromatin. We found that the predominant form of the CENP-A particle at the centromere is an octameric nucleosome with loose terminal DNA. Additionally, we found CENP-A nucleosomes are strongly phased on the 171 bp alpha-satellite monomers of normal centromeres, and also display strong positioning and neocentromeres.
