Z-DNA is Remodeled by ZBTB43 in Prospermatogonia to Safeguard the Germ Line Genome and Epigenome (Affinity-seq)

ABSTRACT: Mutagenic purine-pyrimidine repeats can adopt the left-handed Z-DNA conformation. DNA breaks at potential Z-DNA sites can lead to somatic mutations in cancer or to germ line mutations which are transmitted to the next generation. It is not known whether any mechanism exists in the germ line to control Z-DNA structure and DNA breaks at purine-pyrimidine repeats. Here, we provide genetic, epigenomic, and biochemical evidence for the existence of a biological process that erases Z-DNA specifically in germ cells of the mouse male fetus. We show that a previously uncharacterized zinc finger protein, ZBTB43, binds to and removes Z-DNA, preventing the formation of DNA double-strand breaks. By removing Z-DNA, ZBTB43 also promotes de novo DNA methylation at CG-containing purine-pyrimidine repeats in prospermatogonia. Therefore, the genomic and epigenomic integrity of the species is safeguarded by remodeling DNA structure in the mammalian germ line during a critical window of germline epigenome reprogramming.

Formate-induced phospho-signalling

Project description:The mitochondrial serine catabolism to formate induces a metabolic switch to a hypermetabolic state with high rates of glycolysis, purine synthesis and pyrimidine synthesis. While formate is a purine precursor it is not obvious link between formate and pyrimidine synthesis. Methods Here we combine phospho-proteome and metabolic profiling to determine how formate induces pyrimidine synthesis. We discover that formate induces CAD phosphorylation. Mechanistically formate induces mTORC1 activity as quantified by S6K1 phosphorylation, which is known to phosphorylate CAD and increase its enzymatic activity. Treatment with the allosteric mTORC1 inhibitor rapamycin abrogates CAD phosphorylation and pyrimidine synthesis induced by formate. We conclude that formate activates mTORC1 and induces pyrimidine synthesis via increasing CAD activity.

Transcription Across the H19/Igf2 Imprinting Control Region Initiates Paternally Methylated Imprinting in Mouse Prospermatogonia (RNA-Seq)

Project description:Silver-Russell syndrome(SRS, OMIM 180860) is an imprinting disordermanifesting in fetal and postnatal growth retardation. Loss of methylation (LOM) is detected in the imprinting control region 1 (ICR1) that controls the H19/IGF2 domain, in about 65% of SRS cases. The cause of this epigenetic deficiency is unknown. It may affect the process of imprint establishment --de novo methylation of ICR1 in the male germ line. In the paralogous mouse locus this process involves DNA methyltransferase DNMT3A and H3K36me2 histone methyltransferase NSD1, but the mechanism that targets these enzymes to this ICR is unknown. Based on our genome-wide deep-sequencing data of transcription and DNA methylation, we hypothesized that low-level transcription is required in prospermatogonia for targeting H3K36me2 and de novo methylation to ICR. We truncated this transcript at the entry point to ICR by gene-targeting. In response, the establishment of DNA methylation imprint was incomplete. The sporadic LOM persisted from the male germ line into the paternal allele of the soma, resulting in reduced Igf2, and increased, biallelic H19 RNA in the fetal organs, consistent with the insulator model. Fetus weight was also variably reduced upon paternal transmission of this mutation, consistent with the role of IGF2 as a fetal growth factor. We identify low-level transcription-through as the mechanism that initiates paternal imprint establishment at the H19/Igf2 ICR in the male germ line. The findings predict that RNA-dependent imprint establishment may be affected in human fetuses resulting in sporadic hypomethylation of the ICR1 in SRS.

Treacle controls the nucleolar response to rDNA breaks via TOPBP1 recruitment and ATR activation

Project description:Induction of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in ribosomal DNA (rDNA) repeats is associated with ATM-dependent repression of ribosomal RNA synthesis and large-scale reorganization of nucleolar architecture, but the signaling events that regulate these responses are largely elusive. Here we show that the nucleolar response to rDNA breaks is dependent on both ATM and ATR activity. We further demonstrate that ATM- and NBS1-dependent recruitment of TOPBP1 in the nucleoli is required for inhibition of ribosomal RNA synthesis and nucleolar segregation in response to rDNA breaks. Mechanistically, TOPBP1 recruitment is mediated by phosphorylation-dependent interactions between three of its BRCT domains and conserved phosphorylated Ser/Thr residues at the C-terminus of the nucleolar phosphoprotein Treacle. Our data thus reveal an important cooperation between TOPBP1 and Treacle in the signaling cascade that triggers transcriptional inhibition and nucleolar segregation in response to rDNA breaks.

Transcriptome analysis of the eukaryotic-type ser/thr kinase PknB in Staphylococcus aureus

Project description:The function of the Staphylococcus aureus eukaryotic-like serine/threonine protein kinase PknB was investigated by transcriptome analysis using DNA-microarray technology and biochemical assays. The transcriptional profile reveals a strong regulatory impact of PknB on the expression of genes encoding proteins which are involved in purine and pyrimidine biosynthesis, cell wall metabolism, autolysis, and glutamine synthesis. To investigate the functional role of PknB in S. aureus DNA microarray experiments were performed. In this experiment, the impact of the deletion of PknB was investigated. Each experiment was performed 5 times including a dye swap resulting in five chips per competitive comparison to increase reproducibility. All hybridizations were done with equal amounts of cDNA probes.
