Project description:In the ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena, de novo heterochromatin body formation is accompanied by programmed DNA elimination. Here, we show that the novel heterochromatin body component Jub1p promotes heterochromatin body formation and dephosphorylation of the Heterochromatin Protein 1 (HP1)-like protein Pdd1p. Through the identification and mutagenesis of the phosphorylated residues of Pdd1p, we demonstrate that Pdd1p dephosphorylation promotes the electrostatic interaction between Pdd1p and RNA in vitro and heterochromatin body formation in vivo. We therefore suggest that heterochromatin bodies are assembled by the Pdd1p-RNA interaction. Jub1p and Pdd1p dephosphorylation are required for heterochromatin body formation and DNA elimination but not for local heterochromatin assembly, indicating that heterochromatin body of itself plays an essential role in DNA elimination. New macronuclei (MACs) of exconjugants were isolated from wild-type different mutant cells at 12 hpm, shared chromatin was immunoprecipitated and precipitated DNA was analyzed by high-throughput sequencing.

Project description:In the ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena, de novo heterochromatin body formation is accompanied by programmed DNA elimination. We previously reported that dephosphorylation of the HP1-like protein Pdd1p is required for the formation of heterochromatin bodies during the process of programmed DNA elimination in the ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena. Here, we show that the heterochromatin body component Jub4p is required for Pdd1p phosphorylation, heterochromatin body formation and DNA elimination. Moreover, our analyses of unphosphorylatable Pdd1p mutants demonstrate that Pdd1p phosphorylation is required for heterochromatin body formation and DNA elimination, while it is dispensable for local heterochromatin assembly. Therefore, both phosphorylation and the following dephosphorylation of Pdd1p are necessary to facilitate the formation of heterochromatin bodies. We suggest that Jub4p-mediated phosphorylation of Pdd1p creates a chromatin environment that is a prerequisite for subsequent heterochromatin body assembly and DNA elimination. New macronuclei (MACs) of exconjugants were isolated from wild-type and various mutant cells at 12 hpm (hours post-mixing), sheared chromatin was immunoprecipitated andprecipitated DNA was analyzed by high-throughput sequencing

Project description:Plasmodium-specific CD4+ T cells from mice infected with Plasmodium chabaudi chabaudi AS parasites were recovered at Days 0, 4, 7, and 32 to undergo processing and to generate scATAC-seq dataset. At Day 7, CXCR5+ and CXCR6+ cells were recovered separately. At Day 32, mice were administered with either saline or artesunate (intermittent artesunate therapy - IAT). scATAC-seq dataset was analysed to investigate epigenomic landscapes of CD4+ T cells from effector to memory states.

Project description:RAP-seq is a new method that provides in vitro derived RNA-Interactomes for any given RBP. In RAP-seq a recombinant RBP is produced as fusion with a HaloTag which is used to recover and purify the RBP of interest. The RBP-Halo fusion is then incubated with fragmented total RNA derived from any given sample of interest. The bound RNA fragments are subsequently eluted and cloned using a small RNA library preparation protocol for sequencing the pool of bound molecules on an Illumina NGS platform. In this study, RAP-seq was used to identify RNA-Interactomes of 26 novel RBPs (aka non-canonical RBPs) newly discovered in proteome-wide studies as RNA binders. RAP-seq was also used to profile vertebrate HuR orthologs and described the biochemical evolutionary differences and similarities of the 6 orthologs profiled. Cancer associated IGF2BP1, IGF2BP2 and IGF2BP3 variants were also profiled and transcriptome-wide changes in their RNA Interactomes with respect to the wild-type IGF2BPs were reported. Also a transcriptome-wide cooperative binding assay was perfomed to evaluate the cooperative roles of HuR and PTBP1 in binding to their native RNA targets. In addition, a tipical RAP-seq substrate (fragmented total RNA) if reverse-transcribed into cDNA and than in vitro transcribed again using a T7 RNA Polymerase can be depleted of any native endogenous RNA modifications and RAP-seq assyas perfomed in parallel with the native substrate and the T7 RNAP produced one allowed us to discern the m6A dependency in transcriptome-wide binding events for YTHDF1, hence with RAP-seq we also report T7-RAP-seq.

Project description:In order to identify epigenetic protein complexes recruited to histone PTMs in the deadly human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, we set out to perform histone peptide pulldowns with various histone peptides. Biotinylated peptides corresponding to P. falciparum histone variant H2A.Z, H2B.Z and H3.3, canonical P. falciparum histone H4 or human histone H4 tail sequences (differing on position 21 from the P. falciparum peptide) bearing multiple histone post-translational modifications (acetylations and/or methylations) as well as the unmodified control peptides were coupled to beads and incubated with native nuclear extract obtained from mixed-stage asexual cultures. Proteins preferentially binding to the modified histone peptide were identified by quantitative proteomics using di-methyl labelling. This yielded 6 out of 7 P. falciparum bromo-domain proteins preferentially binding to the acetylated histone peptides, as well as many putative bromo-domain protein interactors. In addition, a PHD-domain containing protein was found to be recruiting a PfSAGA-like complex to H3K4 di- and tri-methylated peptides. 7 reader-domain containing proteins (BDP1, BDP2, BDP4, TAF1, GCN5, PHD1, PHD2) and 5 putative interactors (PF3D7_0306100, PF3D7_1124300, PF3D7_1128000, PF3D7_1225200, PF3D7_1451200) were endogenously tagged by GFP or HA and used in quantitative GFP-/HA-IP-MS/MS experiments to further characterize epigenetic reader-complex composition. As negative control, GFP- and HA-IPs were performed on native nuclear extract not encoding tagged protein. Most HPP experiment employed a 3-label setup, while few only relied on “light” and “heavy”-label sample pools (labels and conditions listed below). GFP- and HA-IP experiments were using a 2-label “light” and “heavy” di-methyl setup only. For all experiments technical replicates were performed using a label-swap approach (called F (forward) and R (reverse)) and independent biological replicates were performed for each. For GFP- and HA-IP forward reactions are set-up as: GFP-/HA-beads = “heavy” di-methyl label, control-beads = “light” di-methyl label. Reverse reactions are set-up as: GFP-/HA-beads = “light” di-methyl label, control-beads = “heavy” di-methyl label. For GFP-/HA-IP raw files the bait and tag used for fishing are included in the file name.

Project description:Super-enhancers comprise of dense transcription factor platforms highly enriched for active chromatin marks. A paucity of functional data led us to investigate their role in the mammary gland, an organ characterized by exceptional gene regulatory dynamics during pregnancy. ChIP-Seq for the master regulator STAT5, the glucocorticoid receptor, H3K27ac and MED1, identified 440 mammary-specific super-enhancers, half of which were associated with genes activated during pregnancy. We interrogated the Wap super-enhancer, generating mice carrying mutations in STAT5 binding sites within its three constituent enhancers. Individually, only the most distal site displayed significant enhancer activity. However, combinatorial mutations showed that the 1,000-fold gene induction relied on all enhancers. Disabling the binding sites of STAT5, NFIB and ELF5 in the proximal enhancer incapacitated the entire super-enhancer, suggesting an enhancer hierarchy. The identification of mammary-specific super-enhancers and the mechanistic exploration of the Wap locus provide insight into the complexity of cell-specific and hormone-regulated genes. ChIP-Seq for STAT5A, GR, H3K27ac, MED1, NFIB, ELF5, RNA Pol II, and H3K4me3 in wild type (WT) mammary tissues at day one of lactation (L1), and ChIP-Seq for STAT5A, GR, H3K27ac, MED1, NFIB, ELF5, and H3K4me3 in WT mammary tissues at day 13 of pregnancy (p13). ChIP-Seq for STAT5A, GR, H3K27a in Wap-delE1a, -delE1b, -delE1c, -delE2 and -delE3 mutant mammary tissues at L1, and ChIP-Seq for NFIB and ELF5 in Wap-delE1b and -delE1c mutant mammary tissues at L1. ChIP-Seq for H3K4me3 in mammary-epthelial cells at p13 and L1. DNase-seq in WT mammary tissues at L1 and DNase-seq in Wap-delE1a, -delE1c, and -delE3 mutant mammary tissues at L1.
