Footprints of global change in marine life: inferring past environment based on DNA methylation and gene expression marks

Project description:Ocean global warming affects the distribution, life history and physiology of marine life. Extreme events, like marine heatwaves, are increasing in frequency and intensity. During sensitive developmental windows of fish, the consequences may be long-lasting and mediated by epigenetic mechanisms. Here, we used adult European sea bass as a model to study the effects of a marine heatwave during development. We measured DNA methylation and gene expression in four tissues (brain, muscle, liver and testis) and detected differentially methylated regions (DMRs). Six genes were differentially expressed and contained DMRs three years after exposure to increased temperature, indicating direct phenotypic consequences and representing persistent changes. Interestingly, nine genes contained DMRs around the same genomic regions across tissues, therefore consisting of common footprints of developmental temperature in environmentally responsive loci. These loci are, to our knowledge, the first metastable epialleles (MEs) described in fish. MEs may serve as biomarkers to infer past life history events linked with persistent consequences. These results highlight the importance of subtle phenotypic changes mediated by epigenetics to extreme weather events during sensitive life stages. Also, to our knowledge, it is the first time the molecular effects of a marine heatwave during the lifetime of individuals are assessed. MEs could be used in surveillance programs aimed at determining the footprints of climate change on marine life. Our study paves the way for the identification of conserved MEs that respond equally to environmental perturbations across species. Conserved MEs would constitute a tool of assessment of global change effects in marine life at a large scale.

Nuclease footprints in sperm project past and future chromatin regulatory events

Project description:Nuclear remodeling to an extreme condensed state is a hallmark of spermatogenesis. This is achieved by varied degrees of replacement of histones with protamines. Regions retaining nucleosomes may be of functional significance. To determine potential roles for somatic-like chromatin in the paternal gamete, sperm from wild type and transgenic mice harboring a single copy insert of the human protamine cluster were subjected to Micrococcal Nuclease (MNase)-seq. Nuclease footprints linked robust endogenous protamine transcription and transgene suppression to its chromatin environment. Murine footprints were enriched within regulatory regions and sequences expressed in the early embryo. These were highlighted by Ctcf footprints that were enriched within chromatin domain boundaries and sites bound in testes and ESCs. In contrast, Ctcf footprints were absent in human and bull sperm. The continuity of Ctcf binding through the murine germline may permit rapid reconstitution of chromatin organization following fertilization. This likely reflects its preparation for early zygotic genome activation and comparatively accelerated preimplantation embryonic development program observed in mouse as compared to human.

High-resolution mapping of ribosome footprints from Arabidopsis thaliana

Project description:Post-transcriptional gene regulation plays a significant role in the response to oxygen deprivation. Here, we utilized advances in next-generation sequencing technology to examine changes in transcriptional control, mRNA loading on to polysome, and regulation of ribosome activity during mRNA translation in 7-day-old Arabidopsis seedlings subjected to 2 hour hypoxia treatment. 14 samples, 2 conditions (2 hr hypoxia and 2 hr normoxia), 2 bioreplicates of 3 RNA pools (total mRNA, immunopurified (TRAP) polysomal mRNA, ribosome footprints), 1 bioreplicate of 1 RNA pool (immunopurified (TRAP)-ribosome footprints).
