Hybridization led to a rewired pluripotency network in Xenopus laevis [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: After fertilization, maternally contributed factors to the egg initiate the transition to pluripotency, in large part by activating de novo transcription from the embryonic genome. Diverse mechanisms coordinate this transition across animals, suggesting that widespread evolutionary innovation has shaped the earliest stages of development. Here, we show that homologs of mammalian reprogramming factors OCT4 and SOX2 divergently regulate the two subgenomes of the allotetraploid Xenopus laevis, resulting in asymmetric activation of hundreds of homeologous gene pairs in the early embryo. Chromatin accessibility profiling and CUT&RUN for modified histones and transcription factor binding reveal extensive differences in enhancer architecture between the subgenomes, which likely arose after hybridization of X. laevis's diploid progenitors ~17 million years ago. However, comparison with diploid X. tropicalis shows broad conservation of embryonic gene expression levels when divergent homeolog contributions are combined, implying strong selection to maintain dosage in the pluripotency transcriptional program, amidst genomic instability following hybridization.

Subgenome-dominant expression and alternative splicing in response to pathogen stress in polyploid Brassica napus and progenitors

Project description:Polyploidy has played an extensive role in the evolution of flowering plants. Allopolyploids, with subgenomes containing duplicated gene pairs called homeologs, can show rapid transcriptome changes including novel alternative splicing (AS) patterns. The extent to which abiotic stress modulates AS of homeologs is a nascent topic in polyploidy research. We subjected both natural and resynthesized lines of polyploid Brassica napus, along with the progenitors B. rapa and B. oleracea, to infection with the fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. RNA-seq analyses revealed widespread divergence between polyploid subgenomes in both gene expression and AS patterns. Resynthesized B. napus displayed significantly more A and C subgenome biased homeologs under pathogen infection than during uninfected growth. Differential AS (DAS) in response to infection was highest in natural B. napus (12,709 DAS events) and lower in resynthesized Brassica napus (8,863 DAS events). Natural B. napus had more up-regulated events and fewer down-regulated events. There was a global expression bias towards the B. oleracea-derived (C) subgenome in both resynthesized and natural B. napus, enhanced by widespread non-parental downregulation of the B. rapa-derived (A) homeolog. In the resynthesized B. napus specifically, this resulted a disproportionate C subgenome contribution to pathogen defense response, characterized by biases in both transcript expression levels and the proportion of induced genes. Our results elucidate the complex ways in which Sclerotinia infection affects expression and AS of homeologous genes in natural and resynthesized B. napus, and indicate that abiotic stress can influence the evolution of homeologous genes in polyploids.

Transcriptome Shock Invokes Disruption of Parental Expression-Conserved Genes in Tetraploid Wheat

Project description:Allopolyploidy, entailing whole genome duplication (WGD) of merged divergent genomes of different species, often instigates transcriptome shock, whereby both total gene expression level and homeolog expression partitioning can be disrupted and remodeled. Little is known about the extent to which the parental expression-conserved genes will be disrupted/remodeled by allopolyploidization, nor the evolutionary relevancy of shock-induced expression repatterning. Here, by microarray-based gene expression profiling and gene-specific cDNA-pyrosequencing, we assessed transgenerational transcriptome shock in a synthetic allotetraploid wheat (AT2) with karyotype and basic morphology mimicking those of natural tetraploid wheat, Triticum turgidum. We show that the transcriptome shock in AT2 is exceptionally strong that it disrupted intrinsically conserved parental gene expression, and resulted in extensive expression nonadditivity in the newly formed allotetraploid plants. At total expression level, a substantial proportion of shock-induced novel expression, especially over-transgressive expression, was rapidly stabilized already in early generations of AT2. Extensive remodeling of homeolog expression occurred in AT2, including those genes that showed additive total expression, and which generated subgenome expression dominance, a pattern that mirrors T. turgidum. Thus, the shock-induced new patterns of gene expression at both the total expression level and subgenome homeolog partitioning showed evidence of evolutionary persistence. Complex relationships between homeolog expression remodeling and nonadditive total expression were observed in a tissue-specific manner. We have 9 samples including two tissues, leaf and young-inflorescence, respectively. Each sample has three replicates. So we overall have 54 samples.

Transcriptome inheritance of a citrus somatic hybrid

Project description:The main objective of the present study was to analyze whether the novel phenotype of this complex three-way tetraploid interspecific hybrid, displaying mixed dominant, codominant and transgressive traits is associated with non additive expression of the two diploid parental genomes. Keywords: Comparative transcriptomic hybridization Three replicates for each sample category (C. reticulata Blanco, C. limon (L.) Burm.) and a allotetraploid somatic hybrid between both) were generated and compared by a reference design.

Paternal chromosome loss and metabolic crisis contribute to hybrid inviability in Xenopus

Project description:Hybridization of eggs and sperm from closely related species can give rise to genetic diversity, or can lead to embryo inviability due to incompatibility. Although central to evolution, the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying postzygotic barriers that drive reproductive isolation and speciation remain largely unknown. Species of the African Clawed frog Xenopus provide an ideal system to study hybridization and genome evolution. Xenopus laevis is an allotetraploid with 36 chromosomes that arose through interspecific hybridization of diploid progenitors, whereas Xenopus tropicalis is a diploid with 20 chromosomes that diverged from a common ancestor ~48 million years ago. Differences in genome size between the two species are accompanied by organism size differences, and size scaling of the egg and subcellular structures such as nuclei and spindles formed in egg extracts. Nevertheless, early development transcriptional programs, gene expression patterns, and protein sequences are generally conserved. Interestingly, whereas the hybrid produced when X. laevis eggs are fertilized by X. tropicalis sperm (le×ts) is viable, the reverse hybrid (te×ls) dies prior to gastrulation. Here, we applied cell biological tools and high-throughput methods to study the mechanisms underlying hybrid inviability. We reveal that two specific X. laevis chromosomes are incompatible with the X. tropicalis cytoplasm and are mis-segregated during mitosis, leading to unbalanced gene expression at the maternal to zygotic transition, followed by cell-autonomous catastrophic embryo death.

Transcriptome Shock in an Interspecific F1 Triploid Hybrid of Oryza Revealed by RNA Sequencing

Project description:Here, we produced a set of interspecific F1 triploid hybrid plants between Oryza sativa, ssp. japonica (2nâ=â2xâ=â24, genome AA) and the tetraploid form of O. punctata (2nâ=â4xâ=â48, genome, BBCC), and conducted RNA-seq transcriptome profiling of the hybrids and their exact parental plants. We analyzed both homeolog expression bias and overall gene expression level difference in the hybrids relative to the in silico âhybridsâ (parental mixtures). We found that approximately 16% (2,541) of the 16,112 expressed genes in leaf tissue of the F1 hybrids showed nonadditive expression, which were specifically enriched in photosynthesis-related pathways. Interestingly, changes in the maternal homeolog expression, including non-stochastic silencing, were the major causes for altered homeolog expression partitioning in the F1 hybrids. Our findings have provided further insights into the transcriptome response to interspecific hybridization and heterosis.
