Project description:To study if regulation of cytosine methylation and CTCF occupancy are interdependent and governed by the levels of CGGBP1, we specifically pulled-down methylated cytosines and found that some transcription factor binding sites including that of CTCF held out against the cytosine methylation changes. The cytosine methylation at CTCF-binding repeat-free motifs show a non-stochastic depdendence on CGGBP1 and occur at sites that mark cytosine methylation transition boundaries. We also show that allelic imbalance dictates stochastic methylation changes due to CGGBP1 depletion.

Project description:By depleting CGGBP1 in normal human fibroblasts 1064Sk using lentiviral shmiR (non-targeting or targeting CGGBP1) and by performing genome-wide sequencing (on bisulfite converted genomic DNA from both samples) we show that both gain and loss of cytosine methylation occurs upon CGGBP1 depletion. This gain and loss of methylation is clustered, spatially overlapping at major functional genomic regions and transcends all three cytosine sequence contexts. We demonstrate that CGGBP1 regulates cytosine methylation genome-wide through cis and trans-acting mechanisms. Library preparation for sequencing has been described in PMID 25981527.

Project description:Alu SINEs are the most numerous frequently occurring transcription units in our genome and possess sequence competence for transcription by RNA Pol III. However, through poorly understood mechanisms, the Alu RNA levels are maintained at very low levels in normal somatic cells with obvious benefits of low rates of Alu retrotransposition and energy-economical deployment of RNA Pol III to the tRNA genes which share promoter structure and polymerase requirements with Alu SINEs. Using comparative ChIP sequencing, we unveil that a repeat binding protein, CGGBP1, binds to the transcriptional regulatory regions of Alu SINEs thereby impeding Alu transcription by inhibiting RNA Pol III recruitment. We show that this Alu-silencing depends on growth factor stimulation of cells and subsequent tyrosine phosphorylation of CGGBP1. Importantly, CGGBP1 ensures a sequence-specific discriminative inhibition of RNA Pol III activity at Alu promoters, while sparing the structurally similar tRNA promoters. Our data suggest that CGGBP1 contributes to growth-related transcription by preventing the hijacking of RNA Pol III by Alu SINEs. This study was used to find out the effect of CGGBP1 on serum-induced changes in gene expression and effect of serum on gene expression regulation by CGGBP1. Gene expression profiling of normal human fibroblasts under 4 different experimental perturbations: serum starvation or serum stimulation and CGGBP1 depletion or normal CGGBP1 levels.

Project description:Malaria parasites have evolved a well-adjusted developmental program to progress through the complex life cycle in the human and mosquito host. Here we identify cytosine methylation of tRNAAsp (GTC) as being critical to maintain stable protein synthesis under cellular stress. Using conditional knock out of a member of the DNA methyltransferases family called Pf-DNMT2, RNA bisulfite sequencing demonstrates the selective cytosine methylation of this enzyme of tRNAAsp (GTC) at position C38. Although no growth defect on parasite asexual proliferation was observed, Pf-DNMT2 KO parasites show a striking increase in their sexual commitment and an increased sensitivity to Dihydroartemisinin. In mutant parasites we observe a dramatic decrease of tRNAAsp (GTC) when compared to non-stressed parasites and mass spectrometry analysis shows the selective downregulation of proteins with GAC codon bias. Here we identify an epitranscriptomic mechanism that safeguards protein translation and homeostasis of sexual commitment during cellular stress in malaria parasites

Project description:CGGBP1-dependent CTCF-binding sites identified in Patel et. al. 2019 [PMID 31547883] serve as barrier elements consistent with asymmetrical levels of H3K9me3 in the flanks and asymmetrical RNA levels at these sites in the genome. In this study we have characterised the function of such CGGBP1-depenedent CTCF binding sites which are usually repeat rich in nature. By cloning one such CTCF-binding site in an episomal system, we have studied the barrier activity of this CGGBP1-dependent CTCF-binding sites in the prsesnce and absence of CGGBP1 in HEK293T cells through various molecular assays and RNA-sequencing. Our results show that these sites act as barrier for the ectopic transcription as the depletion of CGGBP1 lead to starnd-specific bidirectional transcription as a result of loss of barrier activity concomitant with the loss of CTCF-binding. Further, analysing the RNA-seq revealed that weakly transcribed sites are flanked by the CTCF-binding at transcription start and end sites in the presence of CGGBP1. However, CGGBP1 depletion leads to loss of barrier activity maintained by CGGBP1 with dispersed CTCF binding and a loss of transcription restriction. Such CGGBP1-dependent CTCF-binding sites prevents ectopic transcription.
