Osteoclasts are bone-resorbing cells that are important for maintenance of bone remodeling and mineral homeostasis. Regulation of osteoclast differentiation and activity is important for the pathogenesis and treatment of diseases associated with bone loss. Here, we demonstrate that retinoid X receptors (RXRs) are key elements of the transcriptional program of differentiating osteoclasts. Loss of RXR function in hematopoietic cells resulted in formation of giant, nonresorbing osteoclasts and incr ...[more]

Project description:Recent studies have revealed a myriad of non-coding transcripts in different organisms. For instances, the presence of short bidirectional transcripts is a hallmark of active promoters in mammals, while upstream non-coding transcripts can be detected at most expressed genes in conditions where the RNA degradation machinery is inhibited. Here, we used RNA-seq with very high sequencing depth to characterize strand specific transcripts from primary mouse tissues. We found that a substantial fraction of gene promoters sustain expression of long non-coding antisense transcripts. These transcripts have an average size of 6 kb, have features of mature transcripts, but remain associated with the chromatin. We named this new class of non-coding RNAs Long Upstream Antisense Transcripts (LUAT). Strikingly, the LUAT and coding gene pairs are usually co-regulated, with the associated genes often/generally coding for transcriptional regulators functioning during development and cell differentiation. Indeed, these bidirectional promoters share several characteristic of developmental gene promoters, including large CpG islands and high degree of conservation, and display symetrical GC skews. Finally, we found that bidirectional promoters have enlarged platforms of Pol II initiation, associated with an intensified rate of early transcriptional elongation. We concluded that promoters of developmental regulators are characterized by a specialized mechanism of Pol II transcription, whereby Pol II poising is directly coupled to relaxed bidirectional transcription.

Project description:Eukaryotic RNA polymerase II (Pol II) has evolved an array of heptad repeats with the consensus sequence Tyr1-Ser2-Pro3-Thr4-Ser5-Pro6-Ser7 at the carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) of the large subunit (Rpb1). Differential phosphorylation of Ser2, Ser5, and Ser7 in the 5M-bM-^@M-^Y and 3M-bM-^@M-^Y regions of genes coordinates the binding of transcription and RNA processing factors to the initiating and elongating polymerase complexes. Here, we report phosphorylation of Thr4 by Polo-like-kinase-3 in mammalian cells. ChIPseq analyses indicate an increase of Thr4-P levels in the 3M-bM-^@M-^Y region of genes occurring subsequently to an increase of Ser2-P levels. A Thr4/Ala mutant of Pol II displays a lethal phenotype. This mutant reveals a global defect in RNA elongation, while initiation is largely unaffected. Since Thr4 replacement mutants are viable in yeast we conclude that this amino acid has evolved an essential function(s) in the CTD of Pol II for gene transcription in mammalian cells. In this study, we investigated the function and ChIPseq genome-wide profiling of Thr4P residue (using the 6D7 antibody) of the Pol II CTD in Raji human B cells in comparison with either total Pol II profiling (N20 antibody, santa-cruz sc-899x), Ser5P CTD (3E8) or Ser2P (3E10) profiling in WT Raji cells. In another set of experiments, we also analysed total Pol II profiling (using an HA tag at the N-terminus of RPB1 and HA antibody Abcam ab9110) when endogenous enzyme is shut down by alpha-amanitin and replaced by either a recominant Pol II with 48 consensus repeats of the CTD (con48) or a mutated version where Thr4 residues were replaced by Ala (Thr4-Ala).In total 6 experimental sets (Pol IIt, Ser5P, Ser2P, Thr4P, con48, Thr4-Ala) were generated for our analysis and for each a biological replicate was performed. Biological replicates were merged when the data showed comparable signal noise ratio. Otherwise a unique replicate, showing the best noise ratio, was chosen for further analysis although the second replicate (for Ser2P and Thr4-Ala experiments). An input control (genomic DNA extracted after reverse crosslinking of the nuclear chip extracts) was performred and used for substraction to the ChIP experiments. One specific input material was used for wt cells, one for con48 and one for Thr4-Ala. Our data were processed to generate final wig files using our in house analysis pipeline essentially as described in Koch et al, (2011) NSMB 18 (8) p956.In brief, after alignment, sequence tags are: (i) artefact removed, (ii) elongated to an in silico optimized actual size of the initial fragments , (iii) input substracted, (iv) merged if applicable, (v) scaled for all experiments to correct for variation of tag number in between experiments. Several of the raw data files were no longer available.

Project description:Several lines of recent evidence support a role for chromatin in splicing regulation. Here we show that splicing can also contribute to histone modification, which implies a bidirectional communication between epigenetics and RNA processing. Genome-wide analysis of histone methylation in human cell lines and mouse primary T cells reveals that intron-containing genes are preferentially marked with H3K36me3 relative to intronless genes. In intron-containing genes, H3K36me3 marking is proportional to transcriptional activity, whereas in intronless genes H3K36me3 is always detected at much lower levels. Furthermore, splicing inhibition impairs recruitment of H3K36 methyltransferase HYPB/Setd2 and reduces H3K36me3, whereas splicing activation has the opposite effect. Moreover, the increase of H3K36me3 correlates with the length of the first intron, consistent with the view that splicing enhances H3 methylation. We propose that splicing is mechanistically coupled to recruitment of HYPB/Setd2 to elongating RNA Polymerase II. This experiment proposes to profile genome-wide binding profiles by ChIP-seq (Illumina, 36 bp tags) of RNA polymerase II (one biological replicate), the histone modification H3K36me3 (2 replicates) and a reference control input sample (genomic DNA after reverse cross-link, one replicate) in a human H1299 lung carcinoma cell line *** Raw data not provided for Samples GSM766322-GSM766324.

Project description:Recent studies suggest a hierarchical model in which lineage-determining factors act in a collaborative manner to select and prime cell-specific enhancers, thereby enabling signal-dependent transcription factors to bind and function in a cell type-specific manner. Consistent with this model, TLR4 signaling primarily regulates macrophage gene expression through a pre-existing enhancer landscape. However, TLR4 signaling also induces priming of ~3000 enhancer-like regions de novo, enabling visualization of intermediates in enhancer selection and activation. Unexpectedly, we find that enhancer transcription precedes local mono- and di-methylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me1/2). H3K4 methylation at de novo enhancers is primarily dependent on the histone methyltransferases Mll1, Mll2/4 and Mll3, and is significantly reduced by inhibition of RNA polymerase II elongation. Collectively, these findings suggest an essential role of enhancer transcription in H3K4me1/2 deposition at de novo enhancers that is independent of potential functions of the resulting eRNA transcripts. ChIP-Seq and Gro-Seq profiling was performed in thioglycollate-elicited peritoneal macrophages, PU.1-/- and PUER cells treated as indicated.

Project description:Methyloversatilis universalis FAM5 utilizes single carbon compounds such as methanol or methylated amines as a sole source of carbon and energy. Expression profiling reveals distinct sets of genes altered during growth on methanol vs methylamine. Growth on methanol results in activation of mdh2 and a number of known accessory proteins. As expected, all genes for N-methylglutamate pathway were induced during growth on methylated amine. Among other functions, responding to a switch from methanol to methylated amines, are a heme-containing amine dehydrogenase (QHNDH), a PQQ-dependent methanol dehydrogenase homologue, a distant homologue of formaldehyde activating enzyme (fae3), molybdenum containing formate dehydrogenase, a set of transporters homologues to urea/ammonium transporters and amino-acid permeases. Genes encoding the PQQ-dependent methanol dehydrogenase and associated cytochrome, the enzymes from the assimilatory H4F-dependent pathway, and the tungsten-containing aldehyde oxidoreductase were down-regulated during growth on methylamine. Genes essential for carbon assimilation (serine cycle) and H4MTP-pathway for formaldehyde oxidation show similar level of expression on both C1-carbon sources. Phenotypic analysis of mutants lacking functional QHNDH had no growth defect on C1-compounds. M. universalis FAM5 strain with the methylene-tetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase lesion, a key enzyme of the H4-folate pathway, were not able to use any C1-compound, methanol or methylated amines. Methyloversatilis universalis FAM5 possesses three homologs of the formaldehyde activating enzymes. The relative expression of two of the formaldehyde activating enzyme (fae1) and fae2 did not change after the shift from methanol to methylamine growth. The relative expression of the third homologs, fae3, was significantly upregulated by methylamine. Single and double fae 2 and fae 3 mutants display similar to wild type growth M-BM- on methanol or methylamine. Strains lacking fae1 lost the ability to grow on both C1-compounds. However upon incubation on methylated amines the fae1-mutant produce revertants (fae1R ). The revertant strains displayed an impaired growth on methylamine but were not able to use methanol. Double mutations in fae1RM-BM- / fae3 or fae1R/fae2 and triple mutant fae1R/fae2/fae3 showed similar to fae1R phenotype. The metabolic pathways for utilization methanol and methylamine in Methyloversatilis universalis FAM5 are reconstructed. Methyloversatilis universalis FAM5 grown on methanol and methylamine with two biologial replicates for each condition. RNA-Seq was used for transcriptomics.

Project description:Macrophage-mediated inflammation is a major contributor to obesity-associated insulin resistance. The corepressor NCoR interacts with inflammatory pathway genes in macrophages, suggesting that its removal would result in increased activity of inflammatory responses. Surprisingly, we find that macrophage-specific deletion of NCoR instead results in an anti-inflammatory phenotype along with robust systemic insulin sensitization in obese mice. We present evidence that de-repression of LXRs contributes to this paradoxical anti-inflammatory phenotype by causing increased expression of genes that direct biosynthesis of palmitoleic acid and M-OM-^I3 fatty acids. Remarkably, the increased M-OM-^I3 fatty acid levels primarily inhibit NF-M-NM-:B-dependent inflammatory responses by uncoupling NF-M-NM-:B binding and enhancer/promoter histone acetylation from subsequent steps required for pro-inflammatory gene activation. This provides a mechanism for the in vivo anti-inflammatory insulin sensitive phenotype observed in mice with macrophage-specific deletion of NCoR. Therapeutic methods to harness this mechanism could lead to a new approach to insulin sensitizing therapies. ChIP-Seq and Gro-Seq profiling was performed in thioglycollate-elicited peritoneal macrophages treated as indicated.

Project description:Macrophages are a major cellular component of all inflammatory situations, generating proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-alpha, IL-1, and IL-6 that are central to the initiation and maintenance of inflammation. To determine whether the tumor suppressor ARF plays a role in inflammatory gene expression, we used an 84-gene RT2 PCR array to examine the expression of inflammation-associated genes in WT and ARF-deficient macrophages treated with the TLR4 ligand LPS. Peritoneal macrophages from WT and ARF-deficient mice were obtained and treated with LPS (200ng/ml) for 4 hours. WT control (without stimulation n=4), WT LPS (n=4), ARF Control (n=4), ARF LPS (n=4)
