Project description:Retrotransposon addiction promotes centromere function via epigenetically activated small RNAs
| PRJNA545612 | ENA
Project description:We report polysomal RNA sequencing data (RNAseq), small RNAseq, and virus-like-particle (VLP) DNA sequencing (DNAseq) and ChIPseq data. Arabidopsis ddm1 mutants produce LTR retrotransposon transcripts that are processed into 21-22 nt easiRNAs by RNA-Dependent RNA polymerase 6 (RDR6). To test if 21-22 nt easiRNAs regulate transcription, translation and reverse transcription of LTR retrotransposons, we compared ddm1 and ddm1rdr6 in polysomal RNAseq, VLP DNAseq and ChIPseq data. We found a handful of ATHILA elements were differentially regulated in ddm1rdr6 for polysomal RNAseq, VLP DNAseq, and ChIPseq datasets. Using short read and long read technologies, we also profiled functional LTR retrotransposons that made full-length DNA by reverse transcription inside VLPs. Small RNAseq data were obtained in pollen and inflorescence tissues in wild-type and ddm1.

Project description:Retrotransposons have invaded eukaryotic centromeres in cycles of repeat expansion and purging, but the function of centromeric retrotransposons, if any, has remained unclear. In Arabidopsis, centromeric ATHILA retrotransposons give rise to epigenetically activated short interfering RNAs (easiRNAs) in mutants in DECREASE IN DNA METHYLATION1 (DDM1), which promote histone H3 lysine-9 di-methylation (H3K9me2). Here, we show that mutants which lose both DDM1 and RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) have pleiotropic developmental defects and mis-segregation of chromosome 5 during mitosis. Fertility defects are epigenetically inherited with the centromeric region of chromosome 5, and can be rescued by directing artificial small RNAs to a single family of ATHILA5 retrotransposons specifically embedded within this centromeric region. easiRNAs and H3K9me2 promote pericentromeric condensation, chromosome cohesion and proper chromosome segregation in mitosis. Insertion of ATHILA silences transcription, while simultaneously making centromere function dependent on retrotransposon small RNAs, promoting the selfish survival and spread of centromeric retrotransposons. Parallels are made with the fission yeast S. pombe, where chromosome segregation depends on RNAi, and with humans, where chromosome segregation depends on both RNAi and HELLSDDM1.

Project description:In Arabidopsis, LTR retrotransposons are activated by mutations in the chromatin gene DECREASE in DNA METHYLATION 1 (DDM1), giving rise to 21- to 22-nt epigenetically activated siRNA (easiRNA) that depend on RNA DEPENDENT RNA POLYMERASE 6 (RDR6). We purified virus-like particles (VLPs) from ddm1 and ddm1rdr6 mutants in which genomic RNA is reverse transcribed into complementary DNA. High-throughput short-read and long-read sequencing of VLP DNA (VLP DNA-seq) revealed a comprehensive catalog of active LTR retrotransposons without the need for mapping transposition, as well as independent of genomic copy number. Linear replication intermediates of the functionally intact COPIA element EVADE revealed multiple central polypurine tracts (cPPTs), a feature shared with HIV in which cPPTs promote nuclear localization. For one member of the ATCOPIA52 subfamily (SISYPHUS), cPPT intermediates were not observed, but abundant circular DNA indicated transposon "suicide" by auto-integration within the VLP. easiRNA targeted EVADE genomic RNA, polysome association of GYPSY (ATHILA) subgenomic RNA, and transcription via histone H3 lysine-9 dimethylation. VLP DNA-seq provides a comprehensive landscape of LTR retrotransposons and their control at transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and reverse transcriptional levels.

Fertility and segregation defects are epigenetically inherited with centromere 5, and can be rescued by directing artificial small RNAs to ATHILA5 retrotransposons that interrupt tandem satellite repeats. Epigenetically activated short interfering RNAs promote pericentromeric condensation, chromosome cohesion and chromosome segregation in mitosis. We propose that insertion of ATHILA silences centromeric transcription, while simultaneously making centromere function dependent on retrotransposon small RNAs in the absence of DDM1. Parallels are made with the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, where chromosome cohesion depends on RNA interference, and with humans, where chromosome segregation depends on both RNA interference and HELLSDDM1.

Project description:Mammalian genomes are scattered with transposable elements (TEs). Silencing of TEs prevents harmful effects caused by either global activation leading to genome instability or insertional mutation disturbing gene transcription. However, whether the activation of a TE can be pathological without directly affecting gene expression is largely unknown. Here, we show that a TE insertion can adopt nearby regulatory activity, producing cell-type-specific viral-like particles (VLPs) in the embryo and affecting organ formation. Failure to silence an LTR retrotransposon inserted upstream of the Fgf8 gene results in their co-expression during development. VLPs assembly in the Fgf8-expressing cells of the developing limb triggers apoptotic cell death, resulting in a limb malformation resembling human ectrodactyly. We rescued this phenotype with mutations in the retrotransposon coding sequence, preventing its full endogenous retroviral cycle. Our findings illustrate how TE insertion is incorporated into the local genomic regulatory landscape and show that VLP production in post-implantation embryos can be pathological.
