Repression of damaged and intact rDNA by the SUMO pathway

ABSTRACT: Ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) are essential components of the ribosome and are among the most abundant macromolecules in the cell. To ensure high rRNA level, eukaryotic genomes contain dozens to hundreds of rDNA genes, however, only a fraction of the rRNA genes seems to be active, while others are transcriptionally silent. In Drosophila rDNA units damaged by insertions of retrotransposons are repressed by an unknown mechanism. Here, we established a new model to study regulation of rDNA expression using molecularly marked rDNA transgenes. Using this model, we show that insertion of any heterologous sequence into rDNA leads to transcriptional repression. We found that SUMO (Small Ubiquitin-like Modifier) is required for efficient repression of damaged rDNA units. Surprisingly, SUMO also controls expression of intact rDNA, demonstrating that a single pathway is responsible for both selective repression of damaged units and silencing of surplus rDNA.

Impaired function of rDNA transcription initiation machinery leads to derepression of ribosomal genes with insertions of R2 retrotransposon

Project description:Eukaryotic genomes harbor hundreds of rRNA genes, many of which are transcriptionally silent. However, little is known about selective regulation of individual rDNA units. In Drosophila melanogaster, some rDNA repeats contain insertions of the R2 retrotransposon, which is capable to be transcribed only as part of pre-rRNA molecules. rDNA units with R2 insertions are usually inactivated, although R2 expression may be beneficial in cells with decreased rDNA copy number. Here we found that R2-inserted rDNA units are enriched with HP1a and H3K9me3 repressive mark, whereas disruption of the heterochromatin components slightly affects their silencing in ovarian germ cells. Surprisingly, we observed a dramatic upregulation of R2-inserted rRNA genes in ovaries lacking Udd (Under-developed) or other subunits (TAF1b and ТAF1c-like) of the SL1-like complex, which is homologues to mammalian Selective factor 1 (SL1) involved in rDNA transcription initiation. Derepression of rRNA genes with R2 insertions was accompanied by a reduction of H3K9me3 and HP1a enrichment. We suggest that the impairment of the SL1-like complex affects a mechanism of selective activation of intact rDNA units which competes with heterochromatin formation. We also propose that R2 derepression may serve as an adaptive response to compromised rRNA synthesis.

Hot spots of DNA double-strand breaks and genomic contacts of human rDNA units are involved in epigenetic regulation [rDNA units]

Project description:4C procedure was used for analysis of genomic contacts of rDNA units in HEK 293T cells. The primers for 4C were selected inside IGS. Our data indicate that mostly rDNA units exhibit close proximity with pericentromeric regions in different chromosomes. We also detected the contacts within a rDNA unit and between rDNA units. Examination of rDNA genome-wide contacts in HEK 293T cells using 4C approach.

rDNA Array Length is a Major Determinant of Replicative Lifespan in Budding Yeast - RNAseq

Project description:In this study we perform RNA-seq of budding yeast strains with variable copy number of the rRNA genes (rDNA CN) to assess the relationship between rDNA CN and gene expression. RNA-seq was performed on samples both with and without polyA selection (for all transcripts and for rRNA transcripts, respectively).
