A MILI-independent piRNA biogenesis pathway empowers partial germline reprogramming.

ABSTRACT: In mice, the PIWI-piRNA pathway is essential to re-establish transposon silencing during male germline reprogramming. The cytoplasmic PIWI protein MILI mediates piRNA-guided transposon RNA cleavage as well as piRNA amplification. MIWI2-bound piRNAs and its nuclear localization are proposed to be dependent upon MILI function. Here, we demonstrate the existence of a piRNA biogenesis pathway that in the absence of MILI that sustains partial MIWI2 function and reprogramming activity.

Defective germline reprogramming rewires the spermatogonial transcriptome

Project description:Defective germline reprogramming in Miwi2- and Dnmt3l-deficient mice results in the failure to reestablish transposon silencing, meiotic arrest and progressive loss of spermatogonia. Here we sought to understand the molecular basis for this spermatogonial dysfunction. Through a combination of imaging, conditional genetics and transcriptome analysis, we demonstrate that germ cell elimination in the respective mutants arises due to defective germline reprogramming rather than a function for the respective factors within spermatogonia. In both Miwi2-/- and Dnmt3l-/- spermatogonia the intracisternal-A particle (IAP) family of endogenous retroviruses is de-repressed, but in contrast to meiotic cells DNA damage is not observed. Instead we find that unmethylated IAP promoters rewire the spermatogonial transcriptome by driving expression of neighboring host genes. In summary, defective reprogramming deregulates the spermatogonial transcriptome that may underlie spermatogonial dysfunction.

MIWI2 and MILI have differential effects on piRNA biogenesis and DNA methylation

Exonuclease domain-containing 1 enhances MIWI2 piRNA biogenesis via its interaction with TDRD12

Project description:PIWI proteins and their associated small RNAs called PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) restrict transposon activity in animal gonads to ensure fertility. Distinct biogenesis pathways load piRNAs into the PIWI proteins MILI and MIWI2 in the mouse male embryonic germline. While most of MILI piRNAs derive via a slicer-independent pathway, a MILI slicer endonuclease-initiated pathway loads nuclear MIWI2 with a series of phased piRNAs. Tudor domain-containing 12 (TDRD12) and its interaction partner Exonuclease domain-containing 1 (EXD1) are required for loading MIWI2, but only Tdrd12 is essential for fertility, leaving us with no explanation for the physiological role of Exd1. Using an artificial piRNA precursor, we demonstrate that MILI-triggered piRNA biogenesis is greatly reduced in the Exd1 mutant. The situation deteriorates in the sensitized Exd1 mutant (Exd1-/-; Tdrd12+/-), where diminished MIWI2 piRNA levels de-repress LINE1 retrotransposons, causing infertility. Thus, EXD1 enhances slicing-triggered MIWI2 piRNA biogenesis via a functional interaction with TDRD12.

MIWI2 and MILI have differential effects on piRNA biogenesis and DNA methylation

Project description:In developing male germ cells, prospermatogonia, two Piwi proteins, MILI and MIWI2, use piRNA guides to repress transposable element (TE) expression and ensure genome stability and proper gametogenesis. In addition to their roles in post-transcriptional TE repression, both proteins are required for DNA methylation of TE sequences. Here we analyzed the effect of Miwi2 deficiency on piRNA biogenesis and transposon repression. Miwi2-deficiency had only a minor impact on piRNA biogenesis; however, the piRNA profile of Miwi2-knockout mice indicated overexpression of several LINE1 TE families that led to activation of the ping-pong piRNA cycle. Furthermore, we found that MILI and MIWI2 have distinct functions in TE repression in the nucleus. MILI is responsible for DNA methylation of a larger subset of TE families than MIWI2 suggesting that the proteins have independent roles in establishing DNA methylation patterns.

Profiling of Mili and Miwi2 associated piRNAs in WT, MiliDAH, Miwi2DAH and Miwi2KO from E16.5 gonadocytes.

The murine Piwi proteins Mili and Miwi2 direct epigeneticM- LINE1 (L1) and intracisternal A particle (IAP) transposon silencingM- during genome reprogramming in the embryonic male germline. PiwiM- proteins are proposed to be piRNA-guided endonucleases that initiateM- secondary piRNA biogenesis . However the actual contribution of theirM- endonuclease activities to piRNA biogenesis and transposon silencingM- remain unknown. To investigate the role of Piwi-catalyzedM- endonucleolytic activity, we engineered point mutations in the mouseM- that substitute the second D to an A in the catalytic triad (DDH) ofM- Mili and Miwi2, generating the MiliDAH and Miwi2DAH alleles,M- M- respectively.

TEX15 is an essential executor of MIWI2-directed transposon DNA methylation and silencing.

Project description:The PIWI protein MIWI2 and its associated PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) instruct DNA methylation of young active transposable elements (TEs) in the male germline. Here we show that MIWI2 associates with TEX15 in foetal gonocytes. TEX15 is predominantly a nuclear protein that is not required for piRNA biogenesis but is essential for piRNA-directed TE de novo methylation and silencing. In summary, TEX15 is an essential executor of mammalian piRNA-directed DNA methylation.

Epigenetic control of transposable elements in the mouse male germ line by Tex15

Project description:The piRNA biogenesis was evaluated in the mouse testes lacking TEX15. Total small RNAs, MILI-, and MIWI2-associated small RNAs from control (Tex15+/-) and Tex15(-/-) knock-out testes were sequenced. Data analysis revealed that the abundance of miRNAs and piRNAs was comparable between control and Tex15 knock-out testes, suggesting that loss of TEX15 function does not impair piRNA biogenesis. However, the relative abundance of MILI- and MIWI2-bound sense piRNAs derived from transposable elements was increased.

A piRNA pathway primed by individual transposons is linked to de novo DNA methylation in mice

Project description:We examined the construction of the piRNA system in the restricted developmental window in which methylation patterns are set during mammalian embryogenesis. We find robust expression of two Piwi family proteins, MIWI2 and MILI. Their associated piRNA profiles reveal differences from Drosophila wherein large piRNA clusters act as master regulators of silencing. Instead, in mammals, dispersed transposon copies initiate the pathway, producing primary piRNAs, which predominantly join MILI in the cytoplasm. MIWI2, whose nuclear localization and association with piRNAs depend upon MILI, is enriched for secondary piRNAs antisense to the elements that it controls. The Piwi pathway lies upstream of known mediators of DNA methylation, since piRNAs are still produced in Dnmt3L mutants, which fail to methylate transposons. This implicates piRNAs as specificity determinants of DNA methylation in germ cells. Examination of total small RNA and MILI associated piRNAs in embryonic and post-birth mouse testes, MIWI2-associated piRNAs in embryonic testes.
