Project description:Analysis of genome-wide IES elimination of Late-scnRNA accumulation-defective cells inducates that Early-scnRNAs are sufficient to induce DNA elimination for a majority of IESs, whereas Late-scnRNAs are important for DNA elimination of some, mainly Type-B, IESs.
Project description:In this study, we demonstrated that there is a novel, unanticipated mechanism regulating programmed DNA elimination: a genome-wide trans-recognition network for IES identification. In this mechanism, Early-scnRNAs produced from Type-A IESs in the MIC identify not only the IESs from which they are derived but also other IESs in trans to trigger the cis-spreading of Late-scnRNA production in the IESs. This cis-spreading of Late-scnRNA production requires heterochromatin formation . Furthermore, these Late-scnRNAs can recognize other IESs in trans. This “chain reaction” of Late-scnRNA production by the trans-recognition network most likely provides strong robustness in DNA elimination by buffering cell-to-cell variability in the initial Early-scnRNA populations.
