Yeast Lachancea Kluyveri uses tripartite mechanism for haploid specific gene repression [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Over evolutionary timescales, the logic and pattern of cell-type specific gene expression can remain constant, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying such regulation can drift between alternative forms. Here, we document a new, especially clear example of this principle in the regulation of the haploid-specific genes across a wide group of fungal species. For most species, transcription of these genes is repressed in the a/ a cell type by a heterodimer of two homeodomain proteins, Mata1 and Mata2. We show that in the species Lachancea kluveri, repression of one haploid-specific gene (GPA1) requires, in addition to Mata1 and Mata2, a third regulatory protein, Mcm1. Model building, based on x-ray crystal structures of the three proteins, rationalizes the requirement for all three proteins: no single pair of the proteins is optimally arranged and we show that no single pair can bring about repression. Although the three-part solution is used to regulate GPA1 in L. kluveri, the other haploid specific genes in this species are regulated by the more conventional two-protein mechanism. This case study exemplifies the idea that the energy of DNA binding can be “shared out” in different ways and can result is different DNA-binding solutions across different genes—while maintaining the same pattern of gene expression.

Affymetrix SNP array data for a melanoma lesion and a cellline derived thereof

Project description:Here we report on a bulk culture termed MCM1, which was derived from a 61 year old male diagnosed with a nodular melanoma stage T2a, N0. At passage three of culturing, DNA was isolated and Affymetrix SNP6.0 array hybridizations were performed. Cultured MCM1 cells revealed overall identical copy number gains and losses as compared with the primary patient-derived lesion and were therefore used in this study.

Tripartite organization of centromeric chromatin in budding yeast

Project description:The centromere is the genetic locus that organizes the proteinaceous kinetochore and is responsible for attachment of the chromosome to the spindle at mitosis and meiosis. In most eukaryotes, the centromere consists of highly repetitive DNA sequences that are occupied by nucleosomes containing the CenH3 histone variant, whereas in budding yeast, an ~120-bp Centromere DNA Element (CDE) that is sufficient for centromere function is occupied by a single right-handed CenH3 (Cse4) nucleosome. However, these in vivo observations are inconsistent with in vitro evidence for left-handed octameric CenH3 nucleosomes. To help resolve these inconsistencies, we characterized yeast centromeric chromatin at single base-pair resolution. Intact particles containing both Cse4 and H2A are precisely protected from micrococcal nuclease over the entire CDE of all 16 yeast centromeres in both solubilized chromatin and the insoluble kinetochore. Small DNA-binding proteins protect CDEI and CDEIII and delimit the centromeric nucleosome to the ~80-bp CDEII, only enough for a single DNA wrap. As expected for a tripartite organization of centromeric chromatin, loss of Cbf1 protein, which binds to CDEI, both reduces the size of the centromere-protected region and shifts its location towards CDEIII. Surprisingly, Cse4 overproduction caused genome-wide misincorporation of non-functional CenH3-containing nucleosomes that protect ~135 base pairs and are preferentially enriched at sites of high nucleosome turnover. Our detection of two forms of CenH3 nucleosomes in the yeast genome, a singly wrapped particle at the functional centromere and octamer-sized particles on chromosome arms, reconcile seemingly conflicting in vivo and in vitro observations. We used micrococcal nuclease mapping, chromatin immunoprecipitation and paired-end sequencing to determine the structure of yeast centromeres at single base-pair resolution.

Transcriptome profiling reveals a genomewide role of G-proteins

Project description:Knock out mutants of GPA1 (gpa1-5), GCR1 (gcr1-5) as well as their double mutant (gpa1-5 gcr1-5) were used to obtain genomewide transcriptome profile to deduce genomewide effect of both the subunits alone or in combination. Heterotrimeric G-protein signaling pathways have been implicated in a variety of biological processes in plants. While an impressive range of important plant responses are known to be mediated by G-protein signaling pathways, the genes that respond through these pathways are not yet known completely. More importantly, the role of G-proteins in mediating plant metabolic regulation, which is well established in animal systems, has not received adequate attention. The availability of loss-of-function G_alpha (GPA1) and G-protein coupled receptor (GCR1) mutant(s) as well as their double mutant in Arabidopsis provided an opportunity for a genome-wide microarray analysis in the current study for the first time.

Comparative transcriptome analysis between wild-type and gpa1 mutant in response to ABA

Project description:Mutations in the heterotrimeric G-protein a-subunit of Arabidopsis, GPA1, leads to deficiency in ABA-induced stomatal closure (Wang et al., 2001). To further investigate whether GPA1 is involved in the regulation of gene expression in response to ABA, we examined the induction of known ABA-inducible genes in the gpa1 mutant and compared it to wild-type. We found significant differences in levels of ABA-induced expression between wild-type and gpa1 mutant. In order to systematically investigate GPA1 involvement in ABA signalling leading to gene expression, we are requesting the transcriptome analysis of the gpa1 mutant in response to ABA.In detail, 2 week old wild-type and gpa1 plants grown in the 16/8 hrs light and dark cycle will be treated with either ABA or with a control solution for 3 hours. 10 plants will be used per sample to produce RNA, to give 4 samples, one for each chip: gpa1-1 mutant in the presence (chip1) or absence of ABA (chip2) and wild-type (WS2) in the presence (chip3) or absence of ABA (chip4).

Derivation and differentiation of haploid human embryonic stem cells [methylation array]

Project description:Diploidy is a fundamental genetic feature in mammals, in which haploid cells normally arise only as post-meiotic germ cells that serve to insure a diploid genome upon fertilization. Gamete manipulation has yielded haploid embryonic stem (ES) cells from several mammalian species, but as of yet not from humans. Here we analyzed a large collection of human parthenogenetic ES cell lines originating from haploid oocytes, leading to the successful isolation and maintenance of human ES cell lines with a normal haploid karyotype. Haploid human ES cells exhibited typical pluripotent stem cell characteristics such as self-renewal capacity and a pluripotency-specific molecular signature. Although haploid human ES cells resembled their diploid counterparts, they also displayed distinct properties including differential regulation of X chromosome inactivation and genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation, alongside reduction in absolute gene expression levels and cell size. Intriguingly, we found that a haploid genome is compatible not only with the undifferentiated pluripotent state, but also with differentiated somatic fates representing all three embryonic germ layers, despite a persistent dosage imbalance between the autosomes and X chromosome. We expect that haploid human ES cells will provide novel means for studying human functional genomics, development and evolution.
