Project description:Mammalian genomes contain hundreds of lamina-associated domains (LADs), which are large, often megabase-sized heterochromatin domains that are anchored to the nuclear lamina (NL). Even though LADs play a key role in the spatial organization of the genome and potently repress gene activity, it is not yet understood how their interactions with the NL are encoded in their DNA. Here, we investigated the principles that govern LAD-NL interactions by taking a "LAD scrambling" approach. This approach relies on 1) local "hopping" of a Sleeping Beauty transposon to randomly insert loxP sites within and around a LAD of choice; and 2) Cre-mediated recombination between the loxP sites. This approach is highly efficient, enabling us to establish a large collection of clonal cell lines with deletions and inversions up to ~2Mb in size, spanning LAD and their flanking inter-LAD sequences. Mapping of NL interactions in these clones revealed that a single LAD contacts the NL through multiple regions. These regions act cooperatively and redundantly; however, some have more affinity for the NL and can boost NL contacts of neighbouring sequences. We also observed a crosstalk between two neighbouring LADs, when close enough to each other. Finally, changes in the heterochromatin mark H3K9me3 only partially mirrored changes in NL contacts. They also correlated more with gene expression changes than NL contacts did. These principles of LAD - NL interactions provide insight into the overall architecture of the genome and the impact on gene regulation.

Project description:Maintenance of cellular homeostasis and functionality requires rapid translocation of newly synthesized lipids across the membrane leaflets of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) where majority of cellular lipid biosynthesis takes place. This process is facilitated without the need for ATP by specific membrane proteins—scramblases—a few of which have been very recently identified in the ER. We have previously resolved the structure of the translocon-associated protein (TRAP) bound to the Sec61 translocon, and found this complex to render the membrane locally thinner. We thus hypothesized that the translocon could provide scrambling pathways in the ER membrane. Here, we first observed non-selective lipid scrambling by reconstituted translocon complexes using complementary fluorescence approaches. Our experiments with inhibitors that block the putative Sec61 scrambling site suggest that an additional scrambling pathway is active in the translocon. Our extensive molecular dynamics simulations indicate that this additional pathway could be provided by the trimeric bundle of TRAP subunits. Its crevice rich in polar residues shields lipid head groups as they traverse the membrane via a credit card mechanism. We analyzed the kinetics and thermodynamics of lipid scrambling by both Sec61 and TRAP and demonstrated that local membrane thinning provides a key contribution to scrambling efficiency. Both proteins appear selective towards phosphatidylcholine lipids over phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylserine, though this trend reflects the natural flip-flop tendencies of these lipids in a protein-free membrane. The identified scrambling pathway in the Sec61 translocon is located at the lateral gate region, which is likely either closed or occupied by a nascent polypeptide during protein translocation. Moreover, our simulations suggest Sec61 scrambling to be impeded by physiological salt concentration. Together with the observations with Sec61 inhibitors, this indicates the presence of an alternative scrambling site in the translocon complex, and the metazoan-specific transmembrane helix bundle of TRAPβ, TRAPγ, and TRAPδ seems like a viable candidate with scrambling activity that is insensitive to the translocon functional state and solvent conditions.

Project description:Spliceosomal introns are a ubiquitous feature of eukaryotic genes, whose presence often boosts the expression of their host gene, a phenomenon known as intron-mediated enhancement (IME). IME has been noted across diverse genes and organisms, but remains mysterious in many respects. For example, how does intron sequence affect the magnitude of IME? In this study, we performed a massively parallel reporter assay (MPRA) to assess the effect of varying intron sequence on gene expression in a high-throughput manner, using tens of thousands of synthetic introns with natural splice sites and randomized internal sequence. We observe that most random introns splice efficiently and enhance gene expression as well as or better than fully natural introns. Nearly all introns stimulate gene expression ~eight-fold above an intronless control, at both mRNA and protein levels, suggesting that the primary mechanism acts to increase mRNA levels. IME strength is positively associated with splicing efficiency and with the intronic content of poly-uridine stretches, which we confirm using reporter experiments. In sum, this work elucidates sequence determinants of IME from tens of thousands of random introns.
