Temporal transcriptomic and proteomic profiling of causal variants in combination uncovers molecular drivers of phenotypic additivity

ABSTRACT: Genetic interactions are fundamental to the architecture of complex traits, yet the molecular mechanisms by which variant combinations influence cellular pathways remain poorly understood. Here, we answer the question of whether interactions between genetic variants can activate unique pathways and if such pathways can be targeted to modulate phenotypic outcomes. The model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae was used to dissect how two causal SNPs , MKT189G and TAO34477C, interact to modulate metabolic and phenotypic outcomes during sporulation. By integrating time-resolved transcriptomics, absolute proteomics, and targeted metabolomics in isogenic allele replacement yeast strains, we show that the combined presence of these SNPs uniquely activates the arginine biosynthesis pathway and suppresses ribosome biogenesis, reflecting a metabolic trade-off that enhances sporulation efficiency. Functional validation demonstrates that the arginine pathway is essential for mitochondrial activity and efficient sporulation only in the double-SNP background. Our findings show how genetic variant interactions can rewire core metabolic networks, providing a mechanistic framework for understanding polygenic trait regulation and the emergence of additive effects in complex traits.

Interaction of genetic variants activates latent metabolic pathways in yeast

Evolution of genotypic and phenotypic diversity in multispecies biofilms

Project description:Interactions occurring in microbial communities can affect the fitness and adaptability of their individual members when facing changing environmental conditions. This study investigated the impact of interspecies interactions in selecting Bacillus thuringiensis variants emerging in biofilm and planktonic environments. During evolution experiments, a B. thuringiensis distinct phenotypic variant of B. thuringiensis frequently occurred, despite the presence of other species or culture setup. Remarkably, selection of this variant was significantly favored over its ancestor in biofilm settings and when coexisting with other species co-isolated from a wastewater facility, namely Pseudomonas defluvii and Pseudomonas brenneri. Interestingly, the evolved phenotype did not show higher biofilm productivity than its ancestor under any condition, while it was indeed reduced in mixed-species biofilms. Such observation aligned with the reduced abundance of TasA, a major biofilm matrix component in Bacillus species, and SpoVG, a regulator of sporulation, as revealed by matrix proteomics analysis. Furthermore, the variant showed shorter generation time and a lack of sporulation compared to its ancestor, consistent with mutations in key genes for regulating sporulation. Our results indicate that interspecies interactions within biofilms promote B. thuringiensis diversification and alter traits such as biofilm matrix production. Although sporulation is a survival mechanism, this study provides evidence that sporulation does not confer a fitness advantage in in vitro biofilm setting, even within mixed cultures, in the absence of severe stress.

Interplay between Genetic Variation and Nutrition Challenge Controls Hepatic Diurnal Rhythms [ChIA-PET]

Project description:Variation in diurnal rhythms contributes to the risk of multiple diseases, yet the genomic and epigenomic basis remains largely unknown. Here, we show that SNPs in enhancer and promoter regions genome-wide contribute to variations in human diurnal rhythms. Differential rhythmic gene expression and physiological responses to diet-induced obesity in mice with different genetic backgrounds are linked to time-dependent enhancer-promoter interactions (EPI) regulated by cis-regulatory SNPs and transcription factors (TFs) like ESRRγ. Hepatocyte-specific Esrrγ knockout alters rhythmic processes in liver, including triglyceride synthesis and lipid droplet formation, across mouse strains. Moreover, motifs of ESRRγ and other lipid metabolism-related TFs are enriched in individual-specific EPIs harboring SNPs to control rhythmic genes in patients with MAFLD. SNPs located in these sites are correlated with hepatic metabolic traits. Thus, SNPs and TFs interdependently form the genomic and epigenomic basis for diurnal rhythm variation, contributing to disease risk.

Contribution from Different Genomic Annotation Sets to Quantitative Trait Variation Revealed by Maize GWAS

Project description:The genomic distribution of trait-associated SNPs (TASs) discovered in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) can provide insight into the genetic architecture of complex traits and the design of future studies. Here we report on a maize GWAS that identified TASs underlying five quantitative traits measured across a large panel of samples and examine the characteristics of these TASs. A set of SNPs obtained via RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), most of which are located within annotated genes (~87%) were complemented with additional SNPs from the maize HapMap Project that contains approximately equal proportions of intragenic and intergenic SNPs. TASs were identified via a genome scan while controlling for polygenic background effects. The diverse functions of TAS-containing candidate genes indicate that complex genetic networks shape these traits. The vast majority of the TAS-containing candidate genes have dynamic expression levels among developmental stages. Overall, TASs explain 44~54% of the total phenotypic variation for these traits, with equal contributions from intra- and inter-genic TASs. Association of ligueless2 with upper leaf angle was implicated by two intragenic TASs; rough sheath1 was associated with leaf width by an upstream intergenic TAS; and Zea agamous5 was associated with days to silking by both intra- and inter-genic TASs. A large proportion (82%) of these TASs comes from noncoding regions, similar to findings from human diseases and traits. However, TASs were enriched in both intergenic (53%) and promoter 5kb (24%) regions, but under-represented in a set of nonsynonymous SNPs.

Assessing the ability of various genomic features to prioritize causal non-coding variants associated with diseases and traits [MPRA]

Project description:Genome-wide association studies have associated thousands of genetic variants with complex traits and diseases, but pinpointing the causal variant(s) among those in tight linkage disequilibrium with each associated variant remains a major challenge. Here, we used seven experimental assays to characterize all common variants at the multiple disease-associated TNFAIP3 locus in three disease-relevant immune cell types, based on a set of features related to regulatory potential. Trait/disease-associated variants were enriched among SNPs prioritized based on either: (1) residing within CRISPRi-sensitive regulatory regions, or (2) localizing in a chromatin accessible region while displaying allele-specific reporter activity. Of the 15 trait/disease-associated haplotypes at TNFAIP3, 9 had at least one variant meeting one or both of these criteria, with 3 of these haplotypes having a single prioritized variant. 5 of the 9 prioritized variants were further supported by genetic fine-mapping in our and other studies. Our work provides evidence for the efficacy and limitations of strategies for prioritizing disease- and trait-associated genetic variants.
