Genome-wide analysis of chromatin states of Ectocarpus sporophytes and gametophytes, experiment 2

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to analyze genome-wide patterns of histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) and nucleosome distribution during the sporophyte and gametophyte generations of the life cycle of the brown alga Ectocarpus. Analysis of the results of this experiment along with those generated by a second experiment “Genome-wide analysis of chromatin states of Ectocarpus sporophytes and gametophytes, experiment 1” indicated that the histone PTMs H3K4me2, H3K4me3, H3K9ac, H3K14ac and H3K27ac are associated with the transcriptional start sites (TSSs) of actively expressed genes, H3K36me3 preferentially marks gene bodies and is associated with gene activation, H4K20me3 marks transposons and is associated with gene repression, probably through the silencing of transposons in introns. H3K79me2 occurs in zones corresponding to about a third of the genome. These zones often span several genes and genes within H3K79me2 zones exhibit lower levels of transcript abundance.

Epigenetic modifications associated with life cycle transitions in the brown alga Ectocarpus

Project description:In this study, we have carried out a broad census of histone PTMs in Ectocarpus chromatin and have developed a method to evaluate the genome-wide distribution of specific marks. We show that modulation of the expression of sporophyte-biased genes during the life cycle is correlated with marked changes in the pattern of three histone PTMs. In contrast, the expression patterns of gametophyte-biased genes were not correlated with modifications to the histone PTMs assayed, suggesting that gametophyte-biased and sporophyte-biased gene expression are mediated by different epigenetic processes.

Transcription profiling of Ectocarpus strain Esil32 porophyte and gametophyte stages in normal and mutant strains to analyse expression of two sets of genes previously identified as being putatively sporophyte-specific or gametophyte-specific

Project description:The aim of this experiment was to analyse the expression of two sets of genes identified as being putatively sporophyte-specific or gametophyte-specific by a suppressive subtraction hybridisation using cDNA from immature sporophytes and immature gametophytes of the Ectocarpus strain Esil32. The expression of these genes was analysed in the sporophyte and gametophyte generations of the life cycle (again using immature algae that had not yet produces zoidangia) and in the sporophyte generation of a mutant strain, immediate upright, that exhibits gametophyte-like characteristics during the sporophyte generation.

Analysis of transcript abundances in Ectocarpus life cycle mutants

Project description:The aim of this experiment was to compare transcript abundances in parthenotes (i.e. organisms derived by parthenogenetic development of gametes) of two life cycle mutants of the brown alga Ectocarpus siliculosus with transcript abundances in the wild type sporophyte and gametophyte generations. This is of interest because the two mutations, immediate upright (imm) and ouroboros (oro), cause partial and almost complete hometic conversion, respectively, of the sporophyte into the gametophyte. imm parthenotes exhibit gametophyte-like morphology during early development but remain sporophytes in functional terms (they do not produce gametes) whereas oro parthenotes behave as functional gametophytes and are morphologically indistinguishable from gametophytes apart from the appearance some minor sporophyte-like features very early in development in some individuals. To minimise genetic background effects the samples for this experiment were derived from a segregating population derived from an imm/IMM oro/ORO sporophyte. Four classes of gametophyte were derived from this sporophyte were IMM/ORO (wild type), imm/ORO, IMM/oro and imm/oro. Parthenomes were bulked to provide a wild type sporophyte sample, samples corresponding to the two individual mutants, plus the double mutant. A wild type gametophyte sample was also compared for comparison. Hybridisations with cDNA derived from these five samples were carried out using a NimbleGen expressed-sequence-tag-(EST-)based microarray carrying probes corresponding to 10,600 of the 16,256 genes identified in the Ectocarpus genome.

Transcription profiling of Ectocarpus siliculosis sporophytes treated with auxin

Project description:The aim of the experiment is to identify Ectocarpus siliculosus (strain Ec32) genes which are up- or down-regulated by auxin. RNAs were extracted from sporophytes treated with auxin NAA 5.10-6M for 30min or 3h, and labelled either with Cy3 or Cy5. Biological triplicates were performed.

Transcriptomics of bryophyte apical cells and young sporophytes

Project description:Alternation of generations, in which the haploid and diploid stages of the life cycle are each represented by multicellular forms that differ in their morphology, is a defining feature of the land plants (embryophytes). Anciently derived lineages of embryophytes grow predominately in the haploid gametophytic generation from shoot apical meristems (SAMs) that give rise to photosynthetic structures with either leaf-like organs or a ribbon-like thallus. More recently evolved plant lineages have multicellular SAMs, and photosynthetic shoot development is restricted to the sporophyte generation. The molecular genetic basis for this evolutionary shift from gametophyte dominant to sporophyte dominant life cycles remains a major question in the study of land plant evolution. We used laser microdissection and next generation RNA sequencing to address whether angiosperm meristem patterning genes expressed in the sporophytic SAM of Zea mays are expressed in the gametophytic SAMs, or in the non-meristematic sporophytes, of the model bryophytes Marchantia polymorpha and Physcomitrella patens.
