Project description:Many animal species employ a chromosome-based mechanism of sex determination, which has led to coordinate evolution of dosage compensation systems. Dosage compensation not only corrects the imbalance in the number of X-chromosomes between the sexes, but is also hypothesized to correct dosage imbalance within cells due to mono-allelic X expression and bi-allelic autosomal expression, by upregulating X-linked genes (termed M-CM-"M-BM-^@M-BM-^XOhnoM-CM-"M-BM-^@M-BM-^Ys hypothesisM-CM-"M-BM-^@M-BM-^Y). Although this hypothesis is well supported by expression analyses of individual X-linked genes and by array-based transcriptome analyses, a recent study claimed that no such X upregulation exists in mammals and C. elegans based on RNA-sequencing and proteomics analyses. We provide RNA-seq RNA-seq analysis of mouse female PGK12.1 ES cells with two active X chromosomes and confirmed that the X chromosome is upregulated, consistent with the previous microarray study. Examination of expression of X-linked and autosomal genes in mouse female ES cells with two active X chromosomes.

Project description:Many animal species employ a chromosome-based mechanism of sex determination, which has led to coordinate evolution of dosage compensation systems. Dosage compensation not only corrects the imbalance in the number of X-chromosomes between the sexes, but is also hypothesized to correct dosage imbalance within cells due to mono-allelic X expression and bi-allelic autosomal expression, by upregulating X-linked genes (termed ‘Ohno’s hypothesis’). It is unknown whether any epigenetic mark or protein is involved in X upregulation in mammals. Ser-5 phosphorylated RNA polymerase II (PolII S5p) is required for transcription initiation. Chromatin immunoprecipitation combined with DNA tiling array analysis (ChIP-chip) of PolII S5p in mouse female ES cells with two active X chromosomes demonstrated a greater enrichment of RNA polymerase II on X-linked genes relative to autosomal genes, suggesting that enhanced transcription initiation may play a role in X upregulation.

Dosage compensation not only corrects the imbalance in the number of X-chromosomes between the sexes, but is also hypothesized to correct dosage imbalance within cells due to mono-allelic X expression and bi-allelic autosomal expression, by upregulating X-linked genes (termed M-bM-^@M-^XOhnoM-bM-^@M-^Ys hypothesisM-bM-^@M-^Y). To identify molecular mechanisms of X upregulation in mammals we established genome-wide profiles for the initiation and elongation forms of RNA polymerase II (PolII), PolII-S5p (phosphorylated at serine 5) and PolII-S2p (phosphorylated at serine 2), and for histone modifications in mouse cell lines and tissues. We found that in addition to being enriched in PolII-S5p but not in PolII-S2p, X-linked promoters were also enriched in two epigenetic marks, H4K16ac and H2AZ, dependent on expression levels. To address the function of the H4K16 acetyltransferase MOF occupancy profiles were established and knockdowns of MOF and MSL1 were done in mouse ES cells. Our results support a conserved role for the MSL complex to enhance transcription initiation of X-linked genes.

Project description:The contrasting dose of sex chromosomes in males and females potentially introduces a large-scale imbalance in levels of gene expression between sexes. In many organisms dosage compensation has thus evolved to equalize sex-linked gene expression in males and females1,2, in mammals achieved by X chromosome inactivation and in flies and worms by up- or down-regulation of X-linked expression, respectively. Another form of dosage compensation ensures that expression levels on the X chromosome and on autosomes are balanced3,4. While otherwise widespread in systems with heteromorphic sex chromosomes, the case of dosage compensation in birds (males ZZ, females ZW) remains an unsolved enigma5,6. Here we use a microarray approach to show that male day 18 chicken embryos generally express higher levels of Z-linked genes than female birds, both in soma and in gonads. The distribution of male-to-female fold-change values for Z chromosome genes is wide and has a mean of 1.4-1.6, which is consistent with absence of dosage compensation and sex-specific feedback regulation of gene expression at individual loci2. Intriguingly, without global dosage compensation, female chicken has significantly lower expression levels of Z-linked compared to autosomal genes, which is not the case in male birds. The pronounced sex difference in gene expression is likely to contribute to sexual dimorphism among birds, and potentially has implication to avian sex determination.

Project description:Sex chromosome dosage differences between males and females are a significant form of natural genetic variation in many species. Like many species with chromosomal sex determination, Drosophila females have two X chromosomes, while males have one X and one Y. The model species D. melanogaster has five roughly equally sized chromosome arms, one of which is the X chromosome. However, fusions of sex chromosomes with autosomes have occurred along the lineage leading to D. pseudoobscura and D. miranda. The resulting neo-sex chromosomes are gradually evolving the properties of sex chromosomes, and neo-X chromosomes are becoming targets for the molecular mechanisms that compensate for differences in X chromosome dose between sexes. We have previously shown that D. melanogaster possess at least two dosage compensation mechanisms: the well- characterized MSL-mediated dosage compensation active in most somatic tissues, and another system active during early embryogenesis prior to the onset of MSL-mediated dosage compensation. To better understand the developmental constraints on sex chromosome gene expression and evolution, we sequenced mRNA from individual male and female embryos of D. pseudoobscura and D. miranda, from ~0.5 to 8 hours of development. Autosomal expression levels are highly conserved between these species. But, unlike D. melanogaster, we observe a general lack of dosage compensation in D. pseudoobscura and D. miranda prior to the onset of MSL-mediated dosage compensation. The extent of female bias on the X chromosomes decreases through developmental time with the establishment of MSL-mediated dosage compensation, but may do so more slowly in D. miranda than D. pseudoobscura. Thus either there has been a lineage-specific gain or loss in early dosage compensation mechanism(s), or increasing X chromosome dose may strain dosage compensation systems and make them less effective. These results also prompt a number of questions about whether species with more sex-linked genes have more sex-specific phenotypes, and how much transcript level variance is tolerable during critical stages of development.

We sequenced mRNA from D. pseudoobscura and D. miranda embryos, from eight timepoints, both female and male embryos, with three replicates (2 x 8 x 2 x 3). D. pseudoobscura embryos were F1s of a cross between Flagstaff-14 and PP1134 D. pseudoobscura lines, D. miranda embryos were F1s of a cross between the MSH22 and SP138 D. miranda lines.

Project description:Dosage compensation was referred as an equalized X chromosome gene expression between males and females in Drosophila. And inverse dosage effects, produced by genomic imbalance, are believed to account for this modulated expression. Here we made a global expression comparison of trisomy 2L with on extra copy of chromosome 2 long arm to normal diploid with two copies of 2L with high throughput RNA-sequencing. We want to test how about the gene expression pattern changes in those comparisons, including the genes on varied chromosome 2 long arm, some other autosomal genes except chromosome 2L and X chromosome genes. Dosage compensation with an expression level similar to normal diploid and inverse dosage effects should be detected.

Project description:Drosophila X chromosomes are subject to dosage compensation in males and are known to have a specialized chromatin structure in the male soma. We are interested in how specific chromatin structure change contributes to X chromosome hyperactivity and dosage compensation. We have conducted a global analysis of localize two dosage compensation complex dependent histone marks H4AcK16 and H3PS10 and one dosage compensation complex independent histone mark H3diMeK4 in the genome, especially on X chromosome by ChIP-chip approach in both male and female adult flies. We also probed general genomewide chromatin structure by deep DNA sequencing of sheared ChIP input DNA from male and female adult flies.
