Project description:Alternative splicing-induced inclusion of poison exons containing in-frame stop codons is a mechanism that can be used to attenuate gene expression. Poison exon have been implicated in cancer, but how they operate within the context of normal development and physiology is poorly understood. Several splicing regulator genes, including Tra2b, contain ultra-conserved poison exons that function within regulatory loops to fine-tune their activity. To investigate the physiological role of poison exons in vivo, we created mice lacking either Tra2b or its poison exon, specifically during spermatogenesis to reveal both are essential for male fertility. The mouse Tra2b gene is essential for mitotic proliferation of germ cells, whereas, in contrast, the Tra2b poison exon is critically required during meiosis and not needed by mitotically proliferating cell populations within the germline. Poison exon deletion causes infertility, with a block in male meiotic prophase where Tra2β protein expression levels normally increase. Deletion of the Tra2b poison exon changes expression patterns of genes important for meiosis and splicing patterns of Tra2β target exons, suggesting Tra2b poison exon splicing prevents meiotic cells accumulating toxic levels of Tra2b expression. Our data provide a new physiological explanation for Tra2b poison exon ultra-conservation and indicate the importance of evaluating poison exon function within a physiological context.

Project description:Introgressed variants from other species can be an important source of genetic variation because they may arise rapidly, can include multiple mutations on a single haplotype, and have often been pretested by selection in the species of origin. Although introgressed alleles are generally deleterious, several studies have reported introgression as the source of adaptive alleles-including the rodenticide-resistant variant of Vkorc1 that introgressed from Mus spretus into European populations of Mus musculus domesticus. Here, we conducted bidirectional genome scans to characterize introgressed regions into one wild population of M. spretus from Spain and three wild populations of M. m. domesticus from France, Germany, and Iran. Despite the fact that these species show considerable intrinsic postzygotic reproductive isolation, introgression was observed in all individuals, including in the M. musculus reference genome (GRCm38). Mus spretus individuals had a greater proportion of introgression compared with M. m. domesticus, and within M. m. domesticus, the proportion of introgression decreased with geographic distance from the area of sympatry. Introgression was observed on all autosomes for both species, but not on the X-chromosome in M. m. domesticus, consistent with known X-linked hybrid sterility and inviability genes that have been mapped to the M. spretus X-chromosome. Tract lengths were generally short with a few outliers of up to 2.7 Mb. Interestingly, the longest introgressed tracts were in olfactory receptor regions, and introgressed tracts were significantly enriched for olfactory receptor genes in both species, suggesting that introgression may be a source of functional novelty even between species with high barriers to gene flow.

Project description:The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) forms sheet or tubule organization, and functions in regulating various cellular processes. Kinectin 1 (KTN1), an integral ER sheet protein involved in ER organization and translation elongation, has alternative exons on the cytoplasmic side, but their roles remain elusive. Here we found that the multi-tRNA synthetase complex (MSC), which is composed of eight aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (ARSs) and three non-enzymatic proteins, specifically interacts with KTN1 depending on the alternative exon V2 in mouse and human cells. Through a combination of KTN1 knockout and rescue using variant-specific KTN1 expression, we show that the V2 exon is essential for MSC recruitment to the ER, where it contributes to the formation of rough ER stack organization. Our study thus identifies a novel role of KTN1 splicing variant in regulating the ER localization of the MSC, which is likely related to ex-translational activities of MSC to regulate ER sheet organization.

Project description:Microexons (exons ≤30 nts) are important features of neuronal transcriptomes, but pose mechanistic challenges to the splicing machinery. We previously showed that PRP-40, a component of the U1 spliceosome, is globally required for microexon splicing in C. elegans. Here we show that the homologous PRPF40A is also globally required for microexon splicing in mouse neuroblastoma cells. We find that PRPF40A co-regulates microexons along with SRRM4, a neuron-specific regulator of microexon splicing. The relationship between exon size and dependence on PRPF40A/SRRM4 is distinct, with SRRM4-dependence exhibiting a size threshold (~30 nts) and PRPF40A-dependence exhibiting a graded decrease as exon size increases. Finally, we show that PRPF40A knockdown causes an increase in productive splicing of its spliceosomal binding partner Luc7l by skipping of a small “poison exon.” Similar homeostatic cross-regulation is often observed across paralogous RNA binding proteins. Here we find this concept likewise applies across evolutionarily unrelated but functionally and physically coupled spliceosomal components.

Project description:Translational research is commonly performed in the C57B6/J mouse strain, chosen for its genetic homogeneity and phenotypic uniformity. Here, we evaluate the suitability of the white-footed deer mouse (Peromyscus leucopus) as a model organism for aging research, offering a comparative analysis against C57B6/J and diversity outbred (DO) Mus musculus strains. Our study includes comparisons of body composition, skeletal muscle function, and cardiovascular parameters, shedding light on potential applications and limitations of P. leucopus in aging studies. Notably, P. leucopus exhibits distinct body composition characteristics, emphasizing reduced muscle force exertion and a unique metabolism, particularly in fat mass. Cardiovascular assessments showed changes in arterial stiffness, challenging conventional assumptions and highlighting the need for a nuanced interpretation of aging-related phenotypes. Our study also highlights inherent challenges associated with maintaining and phenotyping P. leucopus cohorts. Behavioral considerations, including anxiety-induced responses during handling and phenotyping assessment, pose obstacles in acquiring meaningful data. Moreover, the unique anatomy of P. leucopus necessitates careful adaptation of protocols designed for Mus musculus. While showcasing potential benefits, further extensive analyses across broader age ranges and larger cohorts are necessary to establish the reliability of P. leucopus as a robust and translatable model for aging studies.

Project description:BackgroundCopy number variation is an important dimension of genetic diversity and has implications in development and disease. As an important model organism, the mouse is a prime candidate for copy number variant (CNV) characterization, but this has yet to be completed for a large sample size. Here we report CNV analysis of publicly available, high-density microarray data files for 351 mouse tail samples, including 290 mice that had not been characterized for CNVs previously.ResultsWe found 9634 putative autosomal CNVs across the samples affecting 6.87% of the mouse reference genome. We find significant differences in the degree of CNV uniqueness (single sample occurrence) and the nature of CNV-gene overlap between wild-caught mice and classical laboratory strains. CNV-gene overlap was associated with lipid metabolism, pheromone response and olfaction compared to immunity, carbohydrate metabolism and amino-acid metabolism for wild-caught mice and classical laboratory strains, respectively. Using two subspecies of wild-caught Mus musculus, we identified putative CNVs unique to those subspecies and show this diversity is better captured by wild-derived laboratory strains than by the classical laboratory strains. A total of 9 genic copy number variable regions (CNVRs) were selected for experimental confirmation by droplet digital PCR (ddPCR).ConclusionThe analysis we present is a comprehensive, genome-wide analysis of CNVs in Mus musculus, which increases the number of known variants in the species and will accelerate the identification of novel variants in future studies.
