Project description:A central goal of modern biology is to understand the molecular basis of phenotype evolution between species. Previously, the evolutionary profiling at the molecular level has been largely limited to the nucleotide level. Nevertheless, the genotype is translated to proteotype through comprehensive and gene-specific post-transcriptional regulations. Harnessing recently emerged consistent proteomic quantification methods, we here investigate the co-evolution processes across the transcriptomic, proteomic, and phosphoproteomic layers in skin fibroblasts from 11 common mammalian species. Altogether, we have generated a multi-species, multi-omics resource, the analysis of which significantly facilitates the understanding of gene expression, proteotype co-evolution, and biodiversity in mammals.

Project description:Molecular phylogenomics investigates evolutionary relationships based on genomic data. However, despite genomic sequence conservation, changes in protein interactions can occur relatively rapidly and may cause strong functional diversification. To investigate such functional evolution, we here combine phylogenomics with interaction proteomics. We develop this concept by investigating the molecular evolution of the shelterin complex, which protects telomeres, across 16 vertebrate species from zebrafish to humans covering 450 million years of evolution. Our phylointeractomics screen discovers previously unknown telomere-associated proteins and reveals how homologous proteins undergo functional evolution. For instance, we show that TERF1 evolved as a telomere-binding protein in the common stem lineage of marsupial and placental mammals. Phylointeractomics is a versatile and scalable approach to investigate evolutionary changes in protein function and thus can provide experimental evidence for phylogenomic relationships.

Project description:Male reproductive tissues are more sensitive to heat stress compared to vegetative tissues, however the basis of this phenomenon is poorly understood. Heat stress transcription factors (Hsfs) regulate the transcriptional changes required for protection and recovery from heat stress. HsfA2 has been characterized as co-activator of HsfA1a in tomato and is considered as one of the major Hsfs accumulating in response to elevated temperatures. The role of HsfA2 in heat stress response of different tissues was examined by exploring the composition and structure of the tissue-specific regulatory networks in transgenic tomato plants with suppressed HsfA2 expression (A2AS). Transcriptome analysis revealed that HsfA2 acts in condition- and tissue-specific manner and that only a subset of heat stress induced genes require HsfA2 for higher expression. Remarkably, although HsfA2 is not essential for thermotolerance in seedlings and flowering plants, it is required for maintenance pollen viability under stress conditions. We show that the activation of Hsf networks is important for the developmentally regulated priming of heat stress response occurring at early stages of anther and pollen development. Thereby, HsfA2 is involved in pollen thermotolerance by directly regulating heat stress responsive genes but also by stimulating the synthesis of molecular chaperones under non-stress conditions. 8 samples

Project description:Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are molecular chaperones primarily involved in maintenance of protein homeostasis. Their function has been best characterized in heat stress (HS) response during which Hsps are transcriptionally controlled by heat stress transcription factors (Hsfs). The role of Hsfs and Hsps in HS-response in tomato was initially examined by transcriptome analysis using the Massive Analysis of cDNA Ends (MACE) method. Approximately 9.6% of all genes expressed in leaves are enhanced in response to HS, including a subset of Hsfs and Hsps. The underlying Hsp-Hsf networks with potential functions in stress responses or developmental processes were further explored by meta-analysis of existing microarray datasets. We identified clusters with differential transcript profiles with respect to abiotic stresses, plant organs and developmental stages. The composition of two clusters points toward two major chaperone networks. One cluster consisted of constitutively expressed plastidial chaperones and other genes involved in chloroplast protein homeostasis. The second cluster represents genes strongly induced by heat, drought and salinity stress, including HsfA2 and many stress-inducible chaperones, but also potential targets of HsfA2 not related to protein homeostasis. This observation attributes a central regulatory role to HsfA2 in controlling different aspects of abiotic stress response and tolerance in tomato. 2 samples

Project description:Ribosome biogenesis is a major cellular processes involving a large inventory of proteinaceous and RNA cofactors. Recent bioinformatics approaches discovered a large but not complete overlap of the inventory between yeast, mammals and plants. We re-inspected the complexity of ribosome biogenesis factors (RBFs) by assigning co-orthologs to each protein family in the A. thaliana and S. lycopersicum genomes. We realized that about 25% of all analyzed RBFs in the two plant genomes are encoded by more than one gene. The majority is expressed in leaves and anthers of tomato as determined by next generation sequencing (NGS). For the analysis of NGS data we developed a software pipeline M-bM-^@M-^XCRACPipeM-bM-^@M-^Y. This pipeline is designed to be very flexible with respect to genome selection and experimental set up. The NGS analysis revealed the expression of 24.538 genes in tomato leaves and of 22.893 genes in anthers. The observed expression of RBFs was confirmed by qRT-PCR for a randomly chosen sub-set of genes. Further, analysis of the expression profile of selected RBFs during male gametophyte development revealed a differential expression in the different developmental stages for the majority of genes. Based on our analysis we conclude that RBFs described in yeast but not present in plant genomes as concluded from previous orthology analysis are in parts replaced by other RBFs for which multiple genes have been identified in here. In addition, the obtained complexity for some RBFs accounts for a tissue and developmental specific regulation of ribosome biogenesis as well. 2 samples

Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs), formed by the atypical head-to-tail splicing of exons, have re-emerged as a potentially interesting RNA species given recent reports of a surprising diversity and abundance of circRNA in organisms ranging from worm to human. Here, using deep RNA sequencing, we profiled different RNA species in mouse and observed that circRNAs are significantly enriched in neural tissue, relative to other tissues. Using PacBio sequencing, we determined, for the first time, the circular structure of this population of circRNAs as well as their full-length sequences. We discovered that a disproportionate fraction of the brain circRNA population is derived from host genes that code for synaptic proteins. Moreover, based on the separate profiling of the RNAs localized in neuronal cell bodies and neuropil (enriched in axons and dendrites), we found that, on average, circular RNAs are more enriched in the neuropil than their host gene mRNA isoforms. Using high resolution in situ hybridization we, for the first time, directly visualized circRNA punctae in the dendrites of neurons. The host gene origin and location of the circRNA in neurons suggest the possibility that circRNAs might participate in the regulation of synaptic function and plasticity. Consistent with this idea, we observed via profiling at different developmental stages, that the abundance of many circular RNAs changes abruptly at a time corresponding to synaptogenesis. In addition, following a homeostatic downscaling of neuronal activity many circRNAs exhibit significant up or down-regulation. These data indicate that brain circRNAs are positioned to respond to and regulate synaptic function.

Project description:These experiments were designed to test the hypothesis that REST and Polycomb Repressor Complex 2 function cooperatively in undifferentiated ESCs. Our results show that H3K27me3-enriched genes show no de-repression in REST-/- ESCs, while REST target genes show significant de-repression. RNA-seq was performed and analyzed using two biological replicates for each genotype, WT (N6) and REST-/- (N8) mouse embryonic stem cells.
