Human tumorigenesis induced by an endogenous DNA transposase

ABSTRACT: Genomic rearrangements are a hallmark of childhood cancers, but the mutational processes underlying most of these variants remain unknown. We identified piggyBac transposable element derived 5 (PGBD5) as a highly expressed, enzymatically active domesticated human DNA transposase in a large subset of pediatric solid tumors, including rhabdoid tumors. Ectopic expression of PGBD5 in primary human cells was sufficient to induce fully penetrant cell transformation both in vitro and in immunodeficient mice in vivo. This activity required specific catalytic aspartic acid residues in the PGBD5 transposase domain as well as cellular non-homologous end-joining DNA repair, and was associated with distinct structural rearrangements defined by specific DNA sequence motifs. Similar genomic alterations, some recurrent, were found in primary human rhabdoid tumors. Thus, PGBD5 represents a new class of developmental oncogenic mutators in childhood solid tumors.

Identification of phosphorylation sites in piggyBac transposase N-terminus

Project description:The piggyBac transposon system is widely used for biotechnology and genome engineering and is the founding member of a large superfamily of piggyBac-like elements. We investigated the role in transpositon of the nonconserved N-terminus in the piggyBac transposase, including the impact of predicted casein kinase phosphorylation sites within it.

Transposase N-terminal phosphorylation and asymmetric transposon ends inhibit piggyBac transposition in mammalian cells

Project description:DNA transposon systems are widely used in mammalian cells for genetic modification experiments, but their regulation remains poorly understood. We used biochemical and cell-based assays together with AlphaFold modeling and rational protein redesign to evaluate aspects of piggyBac transposition including the previously unexplained role of the transposase N-terminus and the need for asymmetric transposon ends for cellular activity. We found that phosphorylation at predicted casein kinase II sites in the transposase N-terminus inhibits transposition, most likely by preventing transposase-DNA interactions. Deletion of the region containing these sites releases inhibition thereby enhancing activity. We also found that the N-terminal domain promotes transposase dimerization in the absence of transposon DNA. When the N-terminus is deleted, the transposase gains the ability to carry out transposition using symmetric transposon left ends. This novel activity is also conferred by appending a second C-terminal domain. When combined, these modifications together result in a transposase that is highly active when symmetric transposon ends are used. Our results demonstrate that transposase N-terminal phosphorylation and the requirement for asymmetric transposon ends both negatively regulate piggyBac transposition in mammalian cells. These novel insights into the mechanism and structure of the piggyBac transposase expand its potential use for genomic applications.

Biochemical analysis of chromatin targeting by Tn5 transposase

Project description:Tn5 transposase is used as a tool for detecting nucleosome-free regions of genomic DNA in eukaryotes, but its DNA target site in chromatin has not been understood. In the present study, the well-positioned dinucleosomes were reconstituted, and the Tn5 transposase target sites were mapped in the dinucleosomes in vitro. We found that Tn5 transposase preferentially targets near the entry-exit DNA region within the nucleosome, if the linker DNA exists between two nucleosomes. This specific DNA targeting by Tn5 did not depend on the linker DNA length and DNA sequence. Tn5 transposase becomes to target the middle of the linker DNA, in addition to the entry-exit site of the nucleosome, if the linker DNA length extends to 30 base pairs. These in vitro data provide direct evidence for the Tn5 target sites in the nucleosome, resulting important information for interpretation of the Tn5-transposase-based genomics methods, which have been interpreted as linker or nucleosome-free DNA regions in genomes.

Tn5 transposase-mediated library preparation of single-cell cDNAs for RNA-seq

Project description:Deep sequencing of single cell-derived genomic DNA and/or cDNAs brings novel insights into oncogenesis and embryogenesis. However, traditional library preparation for RNA-Seq requires multiple steps, including shearing the target DNA/RNA and following sequential enzymatic reactions, which result in consequent sample loss and stochastic variation at each step. Such variation may significantly affect the output from sequencing. We have found that a new technique of library preparation using hyperactive Tn5 transposase for the next-generation sequencer of Illumina's platform provided high-quality libraries from 100ng of short-length (average 700~800 bp) single-cell level cDNA. This new method reduced the number of steps in the protocol, which resulted in improved reproducibility and reduced variation among the specimens. Two methods of library preparation (sonication, tagmentation with hyperactive Tn5 transposase) were compared in the case of RNA-Seq for single-cell level cDNA. Technical triplicates were used.

"Calling Cards" for DNA-binding proteins in mammalian cells

Project description:The ability to chronicle transcription factor binding events throughout the development of an organism would facilitate mapping of transcriptional networks that control cell fate decisions. We describe a method for permanently recording protein-DNA interactions in mammalian cells. We endow transcription factors with the ability to deposit a transposon into the genome near to where they bind. The transposon becomes a M-bM-^@M-^\Calling CardM-bM-^@M-^] the transcription factor leaves behind to record its visit to the genome. The locations of the Calling Cards can be determined by massively-parallel DNA sequencing. We show that the transcription factor SP1 fused to the piggyBac transposase directs insertion of the piggyBac transposon near SP1 binding sites. The locations of transposon insertions are highly reproducible, and agree with sites of SP1-binding determined by ChIP-seq. Genes bound by SP1 are more likely to be expressed in the HCT116 cell line we used, and SP1-bound CpG islands show a strong preference to be unmethylated. This method has the potential to trace transcription factor binding throughout cellular and organismal development in a way that has heretofore not been possible. These data contain mapped insertion sites from the piggyBac (PB) transposon into HCT116 cell line and sequenced using an Illumina GAII analyzer. The first set contains the insertion sites of transposons mapped from the wild-type PB transposase and the second set contains the insertion sites of transposons mapped with the PB transposase fused to the transcription factor SP1. Other sequencing data present are ChIP-seq data for SP1 in the HCT116 cell line and RNA-seq data.
