Genome-wide distribution of 5-hydroxymethyluracil and chromatin accessibility in the Breviolum minutum genome

ABSTRACT: In dinoflagellates, the most unique and divergent nuclear organization among the known diversity of eukaryotes has evolved. The list of highly unusual features of dinoflagellate nuclei and genomes is long -- permanently condensed liquid crystalline chromosomes, in which histones are not the main packaging component, genes organized as very long unidirectional gene arrays, general absence of transcriptional regulation, high abundance of the otherwise very rare DNA modification 5-hydroxymethyluracil (5-hmU), and many others. Most of these fascinating properties were originally identified in the 1970s and 1980s but have received very little attention in recent decades using modern genomic tools. In this work, we address some of the outstanding questions regarding dinoflagellate genome organization by mapping the genome-wide distribution of 5-hmU (using both immunoprecipitation-based and basepair-resolution chemical mapping approaches) and of chromatin accessibility in the genome of the dinoflagellate Breviolum minutum. We find that the 5-hmU modification is preferentially enriched over certain classes of repetitive elements, and also often coincides with the boundaries between gene arrays. It is generally anti-correlated with chromatin accessibility, the levels of which are lower in those regions. We discuss the potential roles of 5-hmU in the functional organization of dinoflagellate genomes and its relationship to the transcriptional landscape of gene arrays.

Genome-wide mapping of 5-hydroxymethyluracil in Trypanosoma brucei

Project description:5-Hydroxymethyluracil (5hmU) is a thymine modification existing in the genomes of a number of living organisms. The post-replicative formation of 5hmU occurs via hydroxylation of thymine, which can be mediated by the ten-eleven translocation (TET) dioxygenases in mammalian and J-binding proteins (JBPs) in protozoan genomes, respectively. In addition, 5hmU also can be generated through oxidation of thymine by reactive oxygen species or from deamination of 5hmC by activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) or APOBEC family enzymes. While the biological roles of 5hmU have not been fully explored, identifying its genomic location will assist in elucidating its functions. Herein, we report a method of enzyme-mediated bioorthogonal labeling to selectively enrich genomic regions containing 5hmU. 5hmU DNA kinase (5hmUDK) was utilized to selectively install an azide group or alkynyl group into the hydroxyl group of 5hmU followed by incorporation of the biotin linker through click chemistry and capture of 5hmU-containing DNA fragments via streptavidin pull-down. The enriched fragments were applied to deep sequencing to map the location of 5hmU. With this established enzyme-mediated bioorthogonal labeling strategy, we achieved the genome-wide mapping of 5hmU in Trypanosoma brucei (T. brucei) genomes. The method described here will allow for a better understanding of the functional roles and dynamics of 5hmU in genomes

Genome-wide mapping of 5-hydroxymethyluracil in eukaryote parasite Leishmania

Project description:5-hydroxymethyluracil (5hmU) is a thymine base modification found in genomes of a diverse range of organisms. To explore the functional importance of 5hmU, we developed a method for the genome-wide mapping of 5hmU-modified loci based on a chemical tagging strategy for the hydroxymethyl group. We applied the method to generate genome-wide maps of 5hmU in parasitic protozoan Leishmania, where 5hmU forms enzymatically via hydroxylation of thymine. In the genus, another thymine modification 5-(β-glucopyranosyl) hydroxymethyluracil (base J) plays key roles during transcription. To elucidate relationships between 5hmU and base J, we also mapped base J loci by introducing a chemical tagging strategy for the glucopyranoside residue. Results: Observed 5hmU peaks were highly consistent among technical replicates, confirming the robustness of the method. 5hmU were particularly enriched in strand switch regions, telomeric regions and intergenic regions. Over 90% of 5hmU-enriched loci overlapped with base J-enriched loci, which occurred mostly within strand switch regions. We also identified loci comprising 5hmU but not base J. These 5hmU-specific loci were enriched with motifs consisting of a stretch of thymine bases and associated with higher RNA levels. Conclusions: By chemically detecting 5hmU we provide the first genome-wide map of 5hmU, which will help addressing the emerging interest in the role of 5hmU. The presence of 5hmU-specific loci may suggest that 5hmU has unique roles.

Glucosylated hydroxymethyluracil (DNA base J) prevents transcriptional read-through in Leishmania

Project description:Some T's in nuclear DNA of trypanosomes and Leishmania are hydroxylated and glucosylated to yield base J (β-D-glucosyl-hydroxymethyluracil). In Leishmania about 99% of J is located in telomeric repeats. We show here that most of the remaining J is located at chromosome-internal RNA Polymerase II termination sites. Both this internal J and telomeric J can be reduced by a knockout of J-binding protein 2 (JBP2), an enzyme involved in the first step of J biosynthesis. J levels are further reduced by growing Leishmania JBP2 knockout cells in BrdU-containing medium, resulting in cell death. The loss of internal J is accompanied by massive read-through at RNA Polymerase II termination sites. The degree of read-through varies between transcription units, but may extend over 100 kb. We conclude that J is required for proper transcription termination and infer that the absence of internal J kills Leishmania by massive read-through of transcriptional stops.

Glucosylated hydroxymethyluracil (DNA base J) prevents transcriptional read-through in Leishmania

Project description:Some T's in nuclear DNA of trypanosomes and Leishmania are hydroxylated and glucosylated to yield base J (?-D-glucosyl-hydroxymethyluracil). In Leishmania about 99% of J is located in telomeric repeats. We show here that most of the remaining J is located at chromosome-internal RNA Polymerase II termination sites. Both this internal J and telomeric J can be reduced by a knockout of J-binding protein 2 (JBP2), an enzyme involved in the first step of J biosynthesis. J levels are further reduced by growing Leishmania JBP2 knockout cells in BrdU-containing medium, resulting in cell death. The loss of internal J is accompanied by massive read-through at RNA Polymerase II termination sites. The degree of read-through varies between transcription units, but may extend over 100 kb. We conclude that J is required for proper transcription termination and infer that the absence of internal J kills Leishmania by massive read-through of transcriptional stops. We determined the exact location of base J in the genome of Leishmania by high-throughput sequencing of J containing DNA fragments. Samples were enriched for J-containing fragments by two independent methods: ChIP using an anti-J DNA antibody or by binding to a the J-binding protein JBP1. We studied the effect of loss of J on transcription using WT, JBP2 knockout (30-37% of WT level J), and JBP2 knockout cells grown in BrdU containing medium (13-16% of WT level of J). We used 6 RNA-seq libraries (three samples & two replica each) containing processed RNA products (transspliced and poly-adenylated) and 3 small RNA libraries representing the entire transcriptome.

Visual automated fluorescence electrophoresis provides simultaneous quality, quantity, and molecular weight spectra for genomic DNA from archived neonatal blood spots

Project description:The Guthrie 903 card archived dried blood spots (DBS) are a unique but terminal resource amenable for individual and population wide genomic profiling. The limited amounts of DBS-derived genomic DNA (gDNA) can be whole-genome amplified (WGA) producing sufficient gDNA for genomic applications, albeit with variable success, and optimizing the isolation of high-quality DNA from these finite, low-yield specimens is essential. Visual automated fluorescence electrophoresis (VAFE) is a novel QC technology affording precise quality, quantity and molecular weight of double-stranded DNA from a single microliter of sample. The VAFE QC data were correlated with subsequent sample performance in PCR, sequencing, and high-density comparative genome hybridization array. The Swedish Repository of DBS samples collected on Guthrie 903 cards for neonatal screening of inborn diseases provided deidentified 3mm blood spot punches. There were total of eight (8) samples representing two (2) decades; 1970s: 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978; 1980s: 1980, 1982, 1984, 1986. gDNA was extracted and whole genome amplified prior to aCGH experiments using control female reference genomic DNA. The objective was to show that large rearrangements (e.g. loss of chrX in male samples) can be detected in WGA gDNA from blood spots >30 years old.
