Comparative TSS-seq analysis among Arabidopsis natural variations revealed genetic stability of genic and non-genic promoters

ABSTRACT: In our previous study, more than 300K promoters were identified in the Arabidopsis genome, including many non-genic promoters that do not transcribe gene bodies. Although some functional non-genic promoters have been reported, the biological importance of many others remains unclear. In this study, we evaluated their genetic stability by analysis of promoter sequence and peak positions of TSS clusters using Arabidopsis natural variations. Canonical genic promoters showed high conservation of sequence and TSS peak positions. Moreover, they were well structured in terms of the presence of core elements, promoter context, and epigenetic features. These data revealed that the genic promoters are genetically stable and well-structured, which is consistent with their biological significance for the expression of genes. On the other hand, non-genic promoters showed low stability of TSS peak position and low structured features. Therefore, We concluded that most non-genic promoters are biologically insignificant with some exceptions. Interestingly, the genetic stability of promoters has a positive relation with the expression level. This suggests weak promoters like most non-genic promoters are results of leaky transcription, which supports the concept of “transcriptional noise”.

ALBA protein complex reads genic R-loops to maintain genome stability in Arabidopsis

Project description:The R-loop, composed of a DNA-RNA hybrid and the displaced single-stranded DNA, regulates diverse cellular processes. However, how cellular R-loops are sensed remain poorly understood. Here we report the discovery of the evolutionally conserved ALBA proteins (AtALBA1&2) functioning as the R-loops sensor of genic regions in higher plant Arabidopsis thaliana. AtALBA1 and 2 form a heterodimer protein complex and localize in the nucleus. While AtALBA1 binds to the DNA-RNA hybrid strand, AtALBA2 associates with single-stranded DNA in the R-loops. AtALBA1&2 preferentially binds to the genic R-loop regions that are associated with active epigenetic marks. Depletion of AtALBA1 or AtALBA2 results in hypersensitivity of plants to DNA damaging agents. Our results demonstrate the AtALBA1&2 protein complex is the Arabidopsis genic R-loops sensor for maintaining genome stability in Arabidopsis.

Nucleosome positioning and sensitivity suggest novel functional organization of the purple sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus) genome

Project description:The eukaryotic nucleosome is the fundamental subunit of chromatin and plays functional roles in DNA templated processes including replication and transcription. In eukaryotic promoters, nucleosome organization is generally thought to be highly structured, with nucleosomes occupying canonical positions flanking the transcription start site (TSS), thereby regulating access of the transcriptional machinery to the underlying DNA. We sought to determine whether this canonical distribution is present in the purple sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, an important developmental model organism. We used titrations of micrococcal nuclease to produce high throughput maps of nucleosome distribution, sensitivity to digestion, and subnucleosomal footprints from female urchin gonad tissue. Unlike yeast, flies, zebrafish, maize, or humans, urchins lack a nucleosome depleted region over TSSs. Urchin promoters are dominated by strongly positioned and highly occupied +1 and +2 nucleosomes which are most prominent in highly expressed genes. Additionally, urchin promoters exhibit distinct patterns of sensitivity to nuclease digestion, with heightened sensitivity upstream of the TSS and limited resistance to nuclease digestion. Discretely positioned sensitive nucleosomes were enriched in promoters of highly expressed genes, suggesting a relationship between nucleosome sensitivity and transcriptional regulation. Moreover, urchin promoters were enriched for small fragment-protected footprints associated with known regulatory motifs. Collectively, we present a comprehensive overview of the unique interplay between nucleosome positioning, chromatin sensitivity, cis-regulatory interactions, and gene expression in sea urchins. Our study not only provides a reproducible methodology applicable to other organisms, but also advances our understanding of functional chromatin organization and gene regulation in urchins.

Argonaute-bound small RNAs from promoter-proximal RNA Polymerase II

Project description:Argonaute (Ago) proteins mediate post-transcriptional gene repression by binding guide microRNAs (miRNAs) to regulate targeted RNAs. To confidently assess Agobound small RNAs, we adapted a mouse embryonic stem cell system to express a single inducible epitope-tagged Ago protein. Here, we report the small RNA profile of Agodeficient cells and determine Ago-dependent stability is a common feature of mammalian miRNAs. Considering both in vivo Ago-dependence for stability and Ago2 binding as defined by immunopurification, we have identified a novel class of non-canonical miRNAs derived from protein-coding gene promoters, which we name transcriptional start site miRNAs (TSS-miRNAs). A subset of promoter-proximal RNA polymerase II complexes produce hairpin RNAs that are processed in a DGCR8/Drosha-independent, but Dicer-dependent manner. TSS-miRNA activity is detectable endogenously, upon transfection of a mimic or by mRNA overexpression. Finally, we present evidence of differential expression and conservation in humans, suggesting important roles in gene regulation.

Spt6 is required for the fidelity of promoter selectivity

Project description:Spt6 is a conserved factor that controls transcription and chromatin structure across the genome. Although viewed as an elongation factor, spt6 mutations allow transcription from within coding regions, suggesting that Spt6 also controls initiation. To comprehensively characterize the requirement for Spt6 in transcription, we have used four approaches: TSS-seq and TFIIB ChIP-nexus to assay transcription initiation, NET-seq to assay elongating RNAPII, and MNase-seq to assay nucleosome occupancy and positioning. Our results demonstrate that Spt6 represses transcription initiation at thousands of intragenic promoters. We characterize these intragenic promoters, and find some features conserved with genic promoters and other features that are distinct. Finally, we show that Spt6 regulates transcription initiation at most genic promoters and propose a model of initiation site competition to account for this. Together, our results demonstrate that Spt6 controls the fidelity of transcription initiation throughout the genome and reveal the magnitude of the potential for expressing alternative genetic information via intragenic promoters.

The evolution of genic piRNA cluster loci expression patterns

Project description:This study examines the conservation of Piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA) clusters that come from protein coding gene transcripts. By sequencing small RNA libraries from gonad tissues of Drosophilids and Glires we discover a diverse set of genic piRNA clusters conserved across animals. This dataset reveals new expression patterns for genic piRNA clusters and examines whether changing piRNA expression patterns correlates with sequence changes in piRNA cluster genomic sequence across a variety of animal species. We dissected gonad tissues consisting of ovaries from wildtype adult Drosophilids (D.melanogaster, D.erecta, D.yakuba, D.virilis) and testes from wildtype pre-pubsecent and adult mouse and rats. Adult testes from rabbits were purchased from Pel-Freez Biologicals. Total or immunopreciptated RNAs were extracted from the pulvirized gonad tissues of Drosophilids and Glires. Small RNAs were purified from these samples, converted into cDNA libraries, and sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq2000.

Nucleosome positioning - Transient Depletion and Recovery of the Essential RSC Chromatin Remodeling Complex [MNase-Seq]

Project description:we use an induced degron system to study how rapid clearance of ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers affect nucleosome locations. 1. Screening eight remodelers 2. depletion of Sth1 leads to rapid and reversible fill-in of nucleosome-free regions at gene promoters. 3. changes at depletion and recovery do not depend on major chromatin reassembly during DNA replication. 4. RSC is crucial in maintaining open promoters of low expressed genes. RSC is not directly required for an acute transcriptional response. 5. Changes in nucleosome positions are tightly related to the specific TSS usage at promoters.
