Endogenous siRNAs Promote Proteostasis and Longevity in Germline-less C. elegans

Project description:How lifespan and the rate of aging are set is a key problem in biology. Small RNAs are conserved molecules that impact diverse biological processes through the control of gene expression. However, in contrast to miRNAs, the role of endo-siRNAs in aging remains unexplored. Here, by combining deep sequencing and genomic and genetic approaches in C. elegans, we reveal an unprecedented role for endo-siRNA molecules in the maintenance of proteostasis and lifespan extension in germline-less animals. Furthermore, we identify an endo-siRNA-regulated tyrosine phosphatase, which limits the longevity of germline-less animals by restricting the activity of the heat shock transcription factor HSF-1. Altogether, our findings point to endo-siRNAs as a link between germline removal and the HSF-1 proteostasis and longevity-promoting somatic pathway. This establishes a role for endo siRNAs in the aging process and identifies downstream genes and physiological processes that are regulated by the endo siRNAs to affect longevity.

Cooperation between Caenorhabditis elegans COMPASS and condensin in germline chromatin organization

Project description:Deposition of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) methylation at promoter regions by the SET1/COMPASS complex is associated with context-dependent effects on gene expression. Transcription-independent functions have also been attributed to this highly conserved complex, but whether these contribute to higher-order chromosome organization has not been explored. Using a quantitative FRET (Förster resonance energy transfer)-based fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) approach to assay nanometer scale chromatin compaction in live animals, we reveal an unexpected role for SET1/COMPASS in structuring meiotic chromosomes in the germline of C. elegans. Inactivation of SET-2, the C. elegans homologue of the catalytic subunit SET1, strongly enhanced chromosome organization defects and loss of fertility resulting from partial depletion of condensin-II. Loss of CFP-1, the chromatin targeting subunit of COMPASS, similarly affected germline chromatin compaction measured by FLIM-FRET and enhanced condensin-II knock-down phenotypes. Defects in chromosome morphology following conditional inactivation of topoisomerase II, another structural component of chromosomes, were also aggravated in the absence of set-2. Our results are consistent with a role of SET1/COMPASS in shaping meiotic chromosomes in the C. elegans germline, and have important implications for how chromatin-modifying complexes and histone modifications may cooperate with non histone-proteins to achieve proper chromosome organization, not only in meiosis, but also in mitosis.

The RNAi Inheritance Machinery of Caenorhabditis elegans

Project description:Gene silencing mediated by dsRNA (RNAi) can persist for multiple generations in C. elegans (termed RNAi inheritance). Here we describe the results of a forward genetic screen in C. elegans that has identified six factors required for RNAi inheritance: GLH-1/VASA, PUP-1/CDE-1, MORC-1, SET-32, and two novel nematode-specific factors that we term here (heritable RNAi defective) HRDE-2 and HRDE-4. The new RNAi inheritance factors exhibit mortal germline (Mrt) phenotypes, which we show is likely caused by epigenetic deregulation in germ cells. We also show that HRDE-2 contributes to RNAi inheritance by facilitating the binding of small RNAs to the inheritance Argonaute (Ago) HRDE-1. Together, our results identify additional components of the RNAi inheritance machinery whose sequence conservation provides insights into the molecular mechanism of RNAi inheritance, further our understanding of how the RNAi inheritance machinery promotes germline immortality, and show that HRDE-2 couples the inheritance Ago HRDE-1 with the small RNAs it needs to direct RNAi inheritance and germline immortality.

The germline-specific factor OEF-1 facilitates coordinated progression through germ cell development in C. elegans

Project description:How germ cells faithfully pass genetic material to the next generation despite undergoing several developmental transitions during maturation is poorly understood. Here we identify a novel factor in C. elegans, OEF-1, that is highly germline-specific, with early expression in the embryonic germ lineage and differential expression in larvae and adults depending on the gametogenesis program. OEF-1 is nuclear and associates with autosomal germline-expressed genes. Loss of OEF-1 triggers accelerated germ cell progression, leading to defects at multiple points during germline development. Thus OEF-1 may act to coordinate the timely progression of germ cells through proliferation, meiotic entry, and gametogenesis.
