Comparative genomic hybridization of laboratory strains of the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum shows extensive and gratuitous duplications

ABSTRACT: We report here that duplications of 15 kb or more are common in the genome of the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum. Most of the axenic "workhorse" strains Ax2 and Ax3/4 obtained from different laboratories can be expected to carry new duplications. The auxotrophic strains DH1 and JH10 also bear previously unreported duplications. Strain Ax3/4 is known to carry a large duplication on chromosome 2 and the domain boundary of this structure shows evidence of further instability; we find a further variable duplication on chromosome 5. These duplications are lacking in Ax2, which has instead a small duplication on chromosome 1. Stocks of the type isolate NC4 are similarly variable, though we have identified some approximating the assumed ancestral genotype. More recent wild-type isolates are almost without duplications, but we can identify small deletions or regions of high divergence, possibly reflecting responses to local selective pressures. Duplications are scattered through most of the genome, and can be stable enough to reconstruct genealogies spanning decades of the history of the NC4 lineage. The expression level of many duplicated genes is increased with dosage, but for others it appears that some form of dosage compensation occurs.

Transcription profiling by array of Dictyostelium discoideum cdk8- cells and parental cells

Project description:In order to identify genes regulated by Cdk8, we performed microarray analysis to compare the expression profile in cdk8- cells with parental cells. This analysis suggested that the cdk8- strain previously described contained genome duplications; this was confirmed by directly comparing labelled genomic DNA of affected and control cell lines. Regeneration of the strain in a background lacking the gene duplication generated strains with identical defects in growth and early development, but a milder defect in spore generation, suggesting that the severity of this defect depends on the genetic background. Proteomic analysis revealed two potential targets for Cdk8 regulation, one at the transcriptional and one at the post-transcriptional level.

The Dictyostelium retinoblastoma-like rblA gene is a major regulator of S-phase, mitotic and developmental gene expression

Project description:In metazoans, the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor has two major functions. In the first, it represses genes whose products are required for S-phase entry and S-phase progression, and thus stabilizes the G1 phase. In a second function, Rb synergizes with factors that induce cell cycle exit and terminal differentiation. Using mRNAseq and microarray transcriptional profiling, we show that rblA, the Rb ortholog of the Amebozoan Dictyostelium, has both of these functions. We characterize the action of rblA in the Dictyostelium cell cycle in detail, and in particular show that it represses not only S-phase genes but also almost all genes whose products are involved in mitosis. We compare rblA null mutants with their parent strain Ax2 at two developmental stages, vegetative growth and the preculminant stage of fruiting body formation; cell cycle genes show misregulation in the mutant at both stages.

A balance in the delivery of ER components and the vacuolar proton pump determines phagosome acidification

Project description:As part of a study comparing phagosome composition in wild-type Dictyostelium discoideum with mutants in two cytoskeletal/motor proteins, we compared global gene expression and proteomes between the strains to test whether differences in mRNA and protein abundance were correlated with changes in phagosomal composition. abp1 and myoK mutants in both the Ax2 and DH1 backgrounds were compared with their respective wild-type parents.Both analyses converged and confirmed the phagosome analysis (supplemental Tables). Protein differences were markedly fewer in the myoK-null mutant than in the abp1 null lysate. Proteins of known function, differential in the myoK-null lysate, were involved in remodeling of the plasma membrane and early membrane trafficking. Proteins differential in the abp1-null lysate spanned various functions at all levels of cell metabolism. Most of the proteins differential in 2D-DIGE displayed similar mutant-to-wt ratios at the mRNA level in microarrays. A prominent example of overlap is the 1.4 fold overexpression (p ??? 0.016) of Vps5, both in proteomics and microarray analyses of abp1-null cells. Like half of the proteins involved in membrane trafficking that are differential in microarray analyses of abp1-null cells, Vps5 is putatively involved in endosome-to-Golgi trafficking as a retromer sorting nexin. Therefore, one might speculate that, in addition to direct effects on phagocytic uptake, absence of Abp1 has an impact on endosome-to-Golgi trafficking.

Convergent origin and accelerated evolution of vesicle-associated RhoGAP proteins in two unrelated parasitoid wasps

Project description:Gene duplication, accompanied by modification of the expression and/or function of one of the duplicates under the action of positive selection, followed by further duplication to produce multigene families of toxins is a well-documented process in venomous animals. This evolutionary model has been less described in parasitoid wasps, which use maternal fluids, including venom, to protect their eggs from encapsulation by the host immune system. The leptopilina venom proteomic data were used to evidence that specific RhoGAPs formed a family of protein that are associated with vesicles that act as transport systems to deliver them in the immune cells of their drosophila larval host. We showed that the gene encoding the cellular RacGAP1 is at the origin of the virulent RhoGAP family formed by successive duplications that evolved under positive selection. Almost all of these RhoGAPs lost their GAP activity and GTPase binding ability due to mutations in key amino acids suggesting new function(s) and mechanism of action in host cells that remain to be elucidated.

Large inverted duplications form via a hairpin mechanism

Project description:Inverted duplications are a common type of copy number variation (CNV) in germline and somatic genomes. Large duplications that include many genes can lead to both neurodevelopmental phenotypes in children and gene amplifications in tumors. There are several models for inverted duplication formation, most of which include a dicentric chromosome intermediate followed by breakage-fusion-bridge (BFB) cycles, but the mechanisms that give rise to the inverted dicentric chromosome in most inverted duplications remain unknown. Here we have combined high-resolution array CGH, custom sequence capture, next-generation sequencing, and long-range PCR to analyze the breakpoints of 50 nonrecurrent inverted duplications in patients with intellectual disability, autism, and congenital anomalies. Sequence analysis of breakpoint junctions reveals a normal-copy disomic spacer between inverted and non-inverted copies of the duplication. Further, short inverted repeats are present at the boundary of the disomic spacer and the inverted duplication. These data support a mechanism of inverted duplication formation whereby a chromosome with a double-strand break intrastrand pairs with itself to form a “hairpin” intermediate that, after DNA replication, produces a dicentric inverted chromosome with a disomic spacer corresponding to the site of the hairpin. We also find evidence of short insertions and inversions at inverted duplication junctions, consistent with a DNA replication-based CNV mechanism. This process can give rise to inverted duplications adjacent to terminal deletions, inverted duplications juxtaposed to translocations, and inverted duplication ring chromosomes

Fine mapping of a de novo interstitial 10q22-q23 duplication in a patient with congenital heart disease and microcephaly

Project description:In this study we report a female patient with an interstitial duplication of a region (10q22-q23) which is rarely reported in the literature. We fine mapped the duplication with array CGH, which revealed an 18.6 Mb duplication at 10q22.2-q23.33. There were no other deletions or duplication at another chromosome region. The duplicated region includes 89 annotated genes. The main clinical features of the patient are microcephaly and congenital heart disease. These are likely to be caused by dosage effect of one or several genes in the duplicated region. Finding of similar phenotypes in the other patients with 10q11-q22 duplications and in two out of three patients with 10q22-q23 duplications, suggest presence of genes involved in the development of these features at 10q22. Most of the duplication cases were investigated only by conventional chromosome analyses and fine mapping of these duplications will help identifying candidate genes/regions. Keywords: Array CGH

Array-CGH and Next-generation sequencing of duplication CNVs reveals that most are tandem and some disrupt genes at breakpoints

Project description:Interpreting the genomic and phenotypic consequences of copy number variation (CNV) is essential to understand the etiology of genetic disorders. Whereas deletion CNVs obviously lead to haploinsufficiency, duplications may cause disease through triplosensitivity, gene disruption, or gene fusion at breakpoints. The mutational spectrum of duplications has been studied at certain loci and in some cases these copy number gains are complex chromosome rearrangements involving triplications and/or inversions. However, the organization of clinically relevant duplications throughout the genome has not been investigated on a large scale. Here, we fine mapped 184 germline duplications (14.7 kb-25.3 Mb; median 532 kb) ascertained from individuals referred for diagnostic cytogenetics testing. We performed next-generation sequencing (NGS) and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to sequence 130 breakpoints from 112 subjects with 119 CNVs and found that most (83%) were tandem duplications in direct orientation. The remainder were triplications embedded within duplications (8.4%), adjacent duplications (4.2%), insertional translocations (2.5%), or other complex rearrangements (1.7%). In addition, we predicted six in-frame fusion genes at sequenced duplication breakpoints. Four gene fusions were formed by tandem duplications, one by two interconnected duplications, and one by duplication inserted at another locus. These novel fusion genes could be related to clinical phenotypes and warrant further study. Though most duplications are positioned head-to-tail adjacent to the original locus, those that are inverted, triplicated, or inserted can disrupt or fuse genes in a manner that may not be predicted by conventional copy number analysis. Thus, interpreting the genetic consequences of duplication CNVs requires breakpoint-level analysis.

cAR1 rescues developmental gene expression defects of rasC/rasG double mutants

Project description:It has been shown previously that rasC- cells do not aggregate, predominantly as a result of a defective cAMP relay, although there are also subtle defects in cAMP chemotaxis. There is no appreciable effect on early gene expression in response to starvation. In contrast, rasG-/rasC- cells are totally blocked in aggregation, cAMP relay and cAMP chemotaxis and, in addition, there is no induction of carA and gpaB gene expression, in response to starvation. However, expression of carA from the actin15 promoter in vegetative rasG-/rasC- cells restores the induced expression of carA and gpaB in response to starvation, but has no effect on the defects in aggregation, cAMP chemotaxis and cAMP relay. In order to determine the generality of the effect on early gene expression, micro array analysis was undertaken. These results revealed 121 genes that were significantly (p<0.05) induced in expression 5 fold or more in wild type cells, in response to starvation. Of these genes, the expression of 100 was not induced significantly in rasG-/rasC- cells, but the expression of most of these was restored in rasG-/rasC-/[act15:carA] cells, in response to starvation. These results indicate that the inhibition of early gene expression in rasG-/rasC- cells and its restoration in response to the expression of carA in vegetative cells is a fairly general phenomenon. Thus, signaling through RasG or RasC is required for the induction of expression of many genes that occurs in response to starvation, but the constitutive expression of carA is able to bypass this requirement.
