One of the major challenges in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.) farming is the occurrence of bacterial infections, and the Francisella noatunensis subsp. orientalis (FNO) is an important pathogen that has emerged in last decades. Francisellosis outbreaks have been reported in the literature as occurring seasonally when water temperature is below 24 °C. The aim of this study was to quantify the median lethal doses (LD<sub>50</sub>) of FNO in experimental challenges at 28 °C and 22 °C, and ...[more]

Project description:Pseudogenes are gene copies presumed to mainly be functionless relics of evolution due to acquired deleterious mutations or transcriptional silencing. When transcribed, pseudogenes may encode proteins or enact RNA-intrinsic regulatory mechanisms. However, the extent, characteristics and functional relevance of the human pseudogene transcriptome are unclear. Short-read sequencing platforms have limited power to resolve and accurately quantify pseudogene transcripts owing to the high sequence similarity of pseudogenes and their parent genes. Using deep full-length PacBio cDNA sequencing of normal human tissues and cancer cell lines, we identify here hundreds of novel transcribed pseudogenes. Pseudogene transcripts are expressed in tissue-specific patterns, exhibit complex splicing patterns and contribute to the coding sequences of known genes. We survey pseudogene transcripts encoding intact open reading frames (ORFs), representing potential unannotated protein-coding genes, and demonstrate their efficient translation in cultured cells. To assess the impact of noncoding pseudogenes on the cellular transcriptome, we delete the nucleus-enriched pseudogene PDCL3P4 transcript from HAP1 cells and observe hundreds of perturbed genes. This study highlights pseudogenes as a complex and dynamic component of the transcriptional landscape underpinning human biology and disease.

Project description:Human genome encodes >14,000 pseudogenes that are evolutionary relics and have long been considered as nonfunctional genomic elements. Emerging evidence suggests that pseudogene can exert important regulatory function. However, function of most pseudogenes remains unknown. To fill this gap, we developed an integrated computational pipeline and performed to date the first set of pseudogene-focused CRISPRi screens in human cells. Our screens identified >100 pseudogenes that are important for cell fitness, with a more cell-type specific function compared to parent genes. In addition, we discovered a cancer-testis unitary pseudogene MGAT4EP that interacts with FOXA1, a key regulator in luminal A breast cancer.

Project description:Pseudogenes are defined as regions of the genome that resemble functional genes but contain disabling mutations and lack regulatory elements needed for transcription or translation. They are excellent markers for genome evolution and are emerging as crucial regulators of the development and disease, especially cancer. However, systematic functional characterization and evolution of pseudogene remain largely unexplored. In particular, the contribution of pseudogene to organ development is still unknown. Meanwhile, studies of pseudogene transcription, which is the first step for generating functional RNA, is precluded by the limited capacity of short-read sequencing. To address these issues, we systematically inferred the origin time and characterized the evolution pattern of pseudogenes. We leveraged PacBio full-length sequencing in combination with deep Illumina data as well as public developmental time-course RNA-seq, we dramatically expanded the analyzed samples and profiled genome-wide pseudogene expression paradigm. Additionally, we prioritized functional pseudogenes at multiple regulatory layers and determined their implications in disease and cancer biology.

Project description:Pseudogenes, non-coding homologs of protein-coding genes, were once considered non-functional evolutional relics. Recent studies have shown that pseudogene transcripts can regulate their parental transcripts by sequestering shared microRNAs, thus acting as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs). In this study, we utilize an unbiased screen to identify the ferritin heavy chain 1 (FTH1) transcript and multiple FTH1 pseudogenes as targets of several oncogenic miRNAs in prostate cancer. We characterize the critical role of this FTH1 gene:pseudogene:microRNA network in regulating tumorigenesis in prostate cancer, and show that impairing microRNA binding and subsequent ceRNA crosstalk results in complete phenotype rescue. Our results also demonstrate that pseudogenes are able to regulate intracellular iron levels, which are crucial for multiple physiological and pathophysiological processes. In summary, we describe a novel and extensive gene:pseudogene ceRNA network comprising multiple microRNAs and multiple pseudogenes derived from a single parental gene, which regulates iron storage and tumorigenesis in prostate cancer.

Project description:Approximately half of M. lepraeâ??s transcriptome consists of inactive gene products. This has an impact on overall energy and resource consumption without potential benefit to this organism. However, multiple translational â??silencingâ?? mechanisms are present, reducing additional energy and resource expenditure required for protein production from these transcripts. The Mycobacterium leprae genome has less than 50% coding capacity and 1,133 pseudogenes. Preliminary evidence suggests that some pseudogenes are expressed. Therefore, defining pseudogene transcriptional and translational potentials should increase our understanding of their impact on M. leprae physiology. To address this, M. leprae was purified from the granulomatous hind footpad tissue of four individual nu/nu nude mice six months post-infection. M. leprae whole genome DNA microarrays representing the 1,614 annotated ORFs and 1,133 identified pseudogenes, were obtained from the Leprosy Research Support and Maintenance of an Armadillo Colony Post-Genome Era, Part I: Leprosy Research Support Contract (NO1 AI-25469) at Colorado State University. To validate 20% of genes positive by microarray analysis, RT-PCR was performed. Results of this study Gene expression analysis identified transcripts from 49% of all M. leprae genes including 57% of all ORFs and 43% of all pseudogenes in the genome. Pseudogenes were randomly distributed throughout the chromosome. Factors resulting in pseudogene transcription included: 1) co-orientation of transcribed pseudogenes with transcribed ORFs within or exclusive of operon-like structures; 2) the paucity of intrinsic stem-loop transcriptional terminators between transcribed ORFs and downstream pseudogenes; and 3) predicted pseudogene promoters. Mechanisms for translational silencing of pseudogene transcripts included the lack of both translational start codons and strong Shine-Dalgarno sequences. Transcribed pseudogenes also contained multiple in-frame stop codons and high Ka/Ks ratios, compared to that of homologs in M. tuberculosis and ORFs in M. leprae. A pseudogene transcript containing an active promoter, strong SD site, a start codon, but containing two in frame stop codons yielded a protein product when expressed in E. coli. Approximately half of M. leprae's transcriptome consists of inactive gene products consuming energy and resources without potential benefit to M. leprae. Presently it is unclear what additional detrimental affect(s) this large number of inactive mRNAs has on the functional capability of this organism. Translation of these pseudogenes may play an important role in overall energy consumption and resultant pathophysiological characteristics of M. leprae. However, this study also demonstrated that multiple translational silencing mechanisms are present, reducing additional energy and resource expenditure required for protein production from the vast majority of these transcripts. The overall design of this study was to identify the transcriptome of M. leprae in the granulomatous tissue of the mouse hind foot pad 6 months post infection.

Project description:Pseudogenes are thought to be inactive gene sequences, but recent evidence of extensive pseudogene transcription raised the question of potential function. Here we discover and characterize the sets of lncRNAs induced by inflammatory signaling via TNFα. TNFα regulates hundreds of lncRNAs, including 54 pseudogene lncRNAs, several of which show exquisitely selective expression in response to specific cytokines and microbial components in a NF-κB-dependent manner. Lethe, a pseudogene lncRNA, is selectively induced by proinflammatory cytokines via NF-κB or glucocorticoid receptor agonist, and functions in negative feedback signaling to NF-κB. Lethe interacts with NF-κB subunit RelA to inhibit RelA DNA binding and target gene activation. Lethe level decreases with organismal age, a physiological state associated with increased NF-κB activity. These findings suggest that expression of pseudogenes lncRNAs are actively regulated and constitute functional regulators of inflammatory signaling. RNA profiles of wild type (WT) MEFs treated with TNF-alpha were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina GAIIx. Examination of H3K4me3 histome modification in MEF.

Project description:<p>In this study, we describe a systematic analysis of pseudogene 'transcription' from an RNA-Seq resource of 293 samples, from 13 cancer and normal tissue types. We observed a highly prevalent, genome-wide expression of pseudogenes that could be categorized as universally expressed or lineage- and/or cancer-specific. We also explored disease subtype specificity and functions of selected expressed pseudogenes. We provide evidence that transcribed pseudogenes are a significant contributor to the transcriptional landscape of cells and are positioned to play significant roles in cellular differentiation and cancer progression. Our work provides a transcriptome resource that enables high-throughput analyses of pseudogene expression.</p>

Project description:The objective of this study was to decipher the metabolism expressed by Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. delbrueckii CIRM-BIA865 during soy juice fermentation using transcriptomics. The whole genome was sequenced, assembled and annotated. CIRM-BIA865 was then used to ferment soy juice to produce a soy-based yogurt. Samples were analysed in kinetics during fermentation, at pH values of 6.5, 6, 5 and 4.6. RNA from CIRM-BIA865 were extracted and sequenced using paired-end Illumina. Reads were mapped using Bowtie2 on previously obtained genome of CIRM-BIA865. No mismatch were allowed. Reads mapped on CDS were counted using htseqcount.List of differentially expressed (DE) genes between two successive sampling times (determined by pH) were generated using DEseq2 with a modified t-test and a p-value adjusted by Bonferoni inferior to 0.05. Fold changes expressed how many times genes were induced along the fermentations.
