RNA sequence (RNA-seq) profiling of Syn6.5 consolidation strain

ABSTRACT: The Sc2.0 project is building a eukaryotic synthetic genome from scratch. A major milestone has been achieved with all individual Sc2.0 chromosomes assembled. Here, we describe consolidation of multiple synthetic chromosomes using advanced endoreduplication intercrossing with tRNA expression cassettes to generate a strain with 6.5 synthetic chromosomes. The 3D chromosome organization and transcript isoform profiles were evaluated using Hi-C and long-read direct RNA sequencing. We developed CRISPR Directed Biallelic URA3-assisted Genome Scan, or “CRISPR D-BUGS”, to map phenotypic variants caused by specific designer modifications, known as “bugs”. We first fine-mapped a bug in synthetic chromosome II (synII), and then discovered a combinatorial interaction associated with synIII and synX, revealing an unexpected genetic interaction that links transcriptional regulation, inositol metabolism and tRNASerCGA abundance. Finally, to expedite consolidation, we employed chromosome substitution to incorporate the largest chromosome (synIV), thereby consolidating >50% of the Sc2.0 genome in one strain.

Synthesis, debugging and effects of synthetic chromosome consolidation: synVI and beyond

Project description:We describe design, rapid assembly, and characterization of Sc2.0 chromosome VI, synVI. A mitochondrial defect in the synVI strain mapped to synonymous coding changes within PRE4 (YFR055W), encoding an essential proteasome subunit; Sc2.0 coding changes reduced Pre4 protein accumulation by half. Completing Sc2.0 specifies consolidation of sixteen synthetic chromosomes into a single strain. We investigated phenotypic, transcriptional, and proteome-wide consequences of Sc2.0 chromosome consolidation in poly-synthetic strains.

RNA sequence (RNA-seq) profiling of SynIX strain

Project description:We describe the complete synthesis, assembly, debugging and characterization of a synthetic 404,963 bp yeast chromosome, synIX. Combined chromosome construction methods were used to synthesize the left arm of synIX (synIXL) and retrofit previously described synIXR. During synIX strain characterization, we identified and resolved a bug related to EST3, a gene involved in telomerase function, producing a synIX strain with near wild-type fitness. To facilitate future synthetic chromosome consolidation and increase flexibility of chromosome transfer between distinct strains we combined chromoduction, a method to transfer a whole chromosome between two strains, with conditional centromere destabilization to substitute a chromosome of interest for its native counterpart. We found that both synIX transfer via chromoduction and wild-type IX destabilization were efficient methods. We observed that wild-type II tended to co-transfer with synIX and was co-destabilized with wild-type IX, suggesting a potential gene dosage compensation relationship between these two chromosomes.

RNA sequence (RNA-seq) profiling of SynXI strain

Project description:We describe construction of the 660 kilobase synthetic yeast chromosome XI (synXI) and reveal how synthetic redesign of non-coding DNA elements impact the cell. To aid construction from synthesized 5 to 10 kilobase DNA fragments, we implemented CRISPR-based methods for synthetic crossovers in vivo and used these methods in an extensive process of bug discovery, redesign and chromosome repair, including for the precise removal of 200 kilobases of unexpected repeated sequence. In synXI, the underlying causes of several fitness defects were identified as modifications to non-coding DNA, including defects related to centromere function and mitochondrial activity that were subsequently corrected. As part of synthetic yeast chromosome design, loxPsym sequences for Cre-mediated recombination are inserted between most genes. Using the GAP1 locus from chromosome XI, we show here that targeted insertion of these sites can be used to create extrachromosomal circular DNA on demand, allowing direct study of the effects and propagation of these important molecules. Construction and characterization of synXI has uncovered effects of non-coding and extrachromosomal circular DNA, contributing to better understanding of these elements and informing future synthetic genome design.

Broth-cultured vs consolidation-phase P. mirabilis

Project description:Swarming motility by the urinary tract pathogen Proteus mirabilis has been a long-studied, but little understood phenomenon. On agar, a P. mirabilis colony grows outward in a bullseye pattern formed by consecutive waves of rapid swarming followed by consolidation into shorter cells. To examine differential gene expression in these growth phases, a microarray, constructed based on the completed genome sequence and annotation, was undertaken. RNA from 1) broth-cultured, or 2) consolidation-phase cells was extracted to assess transcription during each of these growth states.

Engram-specific transcriptome profiling of contextual memory consolidation

Project description:Sparse populations of neurons in the dentate gyrus (DG) of the hippocampus are causally implicated in the encoding of contextual fear memories. However, engram-specific molecular mechanisms underlying memory consolidation remain largely unknown. Here we perform unbiased RNA sequencing of DG engram neurons 24h after contextual fear conditioning to identify transcriptome changes specific to memory consolidation. DG engram neurons exhibit a highly distinct pattern of gene expression, in which CREB-dependent transcription features prominently (P=6.2x10-13), including Atf3 (P=2.4x10-41), Penk (P=1.3x10-15), and Kcnq3 (P=3.1x10-12). Moreover, we validate the functional relevance of the RNAseq findings by establishing the causal requirement of intact CREB function specifically within the DG engram during memory consolidation, and identify a novel group of CREB target genes involved in the encoding of long-term memory.

Long-range effects of centromeres on the binding of the meiotic chromosome axis factor Red1

Project description:A chromosome size-dependent bias in meiotic recombination is in place to ensure that homologous chromosome pairing occurs for all chromosomes, including the smallest ones. This bias is clearly detectable during the assembly of the meiotic protein axis, the structure that compacts meiotic chromosomes and promotes recombination.To investigate the origin of the size bias, we mapped genome-wide occupancy of the meiotic axis protein Red1 in yeast strains containing chromosome fusions and synthetic chromosomes. Meiosis studies of the fusion and synthetic chromosomes further revealed that core centromeres influence the deposition of the axial element protein Red1 over distances >100kb, while pericentromeric regions co-evolved to reduce Red1 binding near centromeres and spread out Red1 along the chromosomes.

A Bioinformatics Analysis of Memory Consolidation Reveals Involvement of the Transcription Factor c-Rel

Project description:Consolidation of long-term memory (LTM) is a complex process requiring synthesis of new mRNAs and proteins. Many studies have characterized the requirement for de novo mRNA and protein synthesis; however, few studies have comprehensively identified genes regulated during LTM consolidation. We show that consolidation of long-term contextual memory in the hippocampus triggers altered expression of numerous genes encompassing many aspects of neuronal function. Like contextual memory formation, this altered gene expression required NMDA receptor activation and was specific for situations in which the animal formed an association between a physical context and a sensory stimulus. Using a bioinformatics approach, we found that regulatory elements for several transcription factors are over-represented in the upstream region of genes regulated during consolidation of LTM. Using a knock-out mouse, we found that c-rel, one of the transcription factors identified in our bioinformatics study, is necessary for hippocampus-dependent long-term memory formation.

RNA sequence (RNA-seq) profiling of synthesized chromosome SynI in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Project description:We designed and synthesized synI, which is ~21.4% shorter than native chrI, the smallest chromosome in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. SynI was designed for attachment to another synthetic chromosome due to concerns surrounding potential instability and karyotype imbalance, and is now attached to synIII, yielding the first synthetic yeast fusion chromosome. We constructed additional fusion chromosomes to investigate effects of fusions on nuclear function. We observed unexpected loops and twisted structures in chrIII-I and chrIX-III-I fusion chromosomes dependent on silencing protein Sir3. ChrI faces special challenges in assuring meiotic crossovers required for efficient homolog disjunction. Centromere deletions engineered into fusion chromosomes revealed opposing effects of core centromeres and pericentromeres in modulating deposition of meiotic recombination protein Red1. These effects extended over >100kb, to disproportionally promote meiotic recombination of small chromosomes like chrI. These findings reveal the power of synthetic genomics to uncover new biology and deconvolute complex biological systems.
