Project description:Chromatin conformation capture assays, such as 3C and Hi-C, allow for studies of three-dimensional (3D) genome structures in bulk samples through proximity ligation of DNA. However, the difference between cells can only be observed by single-cell measurements that avoid ensemble averaging3, 4,5. To study 3D chromatin organization and dynamics before and after fertilization in flowering plants, we analyzed the 3D genomes of rice egg, sperm, and unicellular zygote as well as shoot cells. We show that chromatin architectures of rice egg and sperm are comparable to that of somatic cells and are reorganized after fertilization in unicellular zygote. The rice single cell 3D genomes display specific features of chromosome compartments and configuration of telomeres/centromeres compared to those shown in mammalian single cells. Active and silent chromatin domains gather to form multiple foci in the nuclear space. Notably, the 3D genomes of egg, unicellular zygote, and shoot cells contain a compact silent center (CSC), which is absent in sperm. CSC is dynamically reorganized after fertilization and is likely to be involved in gene regulation related to zygotic genome activation (ZGA). Our results reveal specific 3D genome features of plant gametes and unicellular zygote and provide a spatial chromatin basis for ZGA and gene expression in plant.

Project description:Analysis of DNA Methylation in Sperm, egg cell, fertilized zygote and preimplantation embryonic cells
| PRJNA511826 | ENA
Project description:Fertilization constitutes a critical step in the plant life cycle during which the gamete genomes undergo reprogramming in preparation for embryogenesis. However, it is unclear whether and how DNA methylation that epigenetically regulates gene expression is reprogramed during fertilization. Here, we characterized DNA methylation patterns and investigated the function of DNA glycosylases in rice eggs, sperms and unicellular zygotes. We found that DNA methylation is extensively reprogramed at non-CG sites in euchromatin regions upon fertilization, which intensifies during early embryogenesis. Genetic and genomic analysis revealed that rice DNA glycosylase genes DNG702, DNG701 and DNG704 demethylate at distinct and complementary loci in egg, sperm, and zygote genomes and are required for zygotic gene expression and development. The results indicate that active demethylation takes place in the gametes and the zygote to reprogram DNA methylation and zygotic genome activation in plant.

Project description:In angiosperms, female gamete differentiation, fertilization, and subsequent zygotic development occur in embryo sacs deeply embedded in the ovaries. Despite their importance in plant reproduction and development, how the egg cell is specialized, fuses with the sperm cell, and converts into an active zygote for early embryogenesis remains unclear. This lack of knowledge is partly attributable to the difficulty of direct analyses of gametes in angiosperms. In this study, proteins from egg and sperm cells obtained from Oryza sativa flowers were separated by one-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and globally identified by highly sensitive liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectroscopy. Proteome analyses were also conducted for seedlings, callus, and pollen grains to compare their protein expression profiles to those of gametes. Database was searched using Mascot software (ver.2.2.1, Matrix Science, MA, USA) with the following parameters. The fixed modification was propionasmide (Cys) and variable modification parameters were pyro-Glu, acetylation (protein N-terminus), and oxidation (Met). The maximum missed cleavage was set at 3 with a peptide mass tolerance of +/– 15 ppm. Peptide charges from +2 to +4 states and MS/MS tolerances of +/– 0.8 Da were allowed.

Project description:Three-dimensional genome structures of single mammalian sperm
| PRJNA1160276 | ENA
Project description:The three-dimensional (3D) organization of chromosomes is crucial for packaging a large mammalian genome into a confined nucleus and ensuring proper nuclear functions in somatic cells. However, the packaging of the much more condensed sperm genome is fundamentally different and not as well understood. In this study, we resolved the 3D whole-genome structures of a single mammalian sperm cell using an enhanced chromosome conformation capture assay. The reconstructed genome structures accurately delineate the species-specific nuclear morphologies for both human and mouse sperm. We discovered that sperm genomes are divided into chromosomal territories and A/B compartments, similarly as somatic cells. However, neither human nor mouse sperm chromosomes contain topologically associating domains or chromatin loops. These results suggest that the fine-scale chromosomal organization of mammalian sperm fundamentally differs from that of somatic cells.

Project description:Egg cells represent the female partner that fuses with the sperm cell during fertilization in all multi-cellular eukaryotic organisms—and, in flowering plants, is a founder of the embryo. We examined the transcriptome of Oryza sativa ssp. japonica (cv Katy) using the Affymetrix 57K rice genome GeneChip to provide an overview of genes activated in the maternal gamete, transcripts transmitted by the paternal genome, and changes in transcript up- and down-regulation during fertilization. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression in the egg cell at anthesis, complementing prior data on the male germ lineage, and following gene expression during fertilization and gamete fusion.
