Project description:To understand the evolution of imprinting mechanisms in the rice species Oryza sativa, we analyzed DNA methylation, transcription and small RNA expression in embryo and endosperm. Cultivars chosen to represent the genetic diversity of cultivated Oryza sativa comprised Nipponbare and Kitaake of the japonica subspecies, and IR64 and 93-11 cultivars of the indica subspecies. While imprinted expression is generally conserved among rice cultivars, approximately 10% of imprinted genes show imprinting divergence across the four cultivars. Analyses of DNA methylation and small RNAs revealed that small RNA producing loci are closely associated with genic regions and four times more likely to be imprinted than genes. However, imprinting divergence most often correlated with DNA methylation epimutations. Correlative epialleles were largely stable within subspecies. Small indels and transposable element insertions were found at half of the epimutated loci and associated with imprinting divergence at half of the remaining loci. Correlating epigenetic and genetic variation occurred at key regulatory regions – the promoter and transcription start site of maternally-biased genes, and the promoter and gene body of paternally-biased genes. Our results reinforce models for the role of maternal-specific DNA hypomethylation in imprint formation at both maternally and paternally biased genes, and highlight the role of transposition events and epimutation in rice imprinting evolution.

Project description:Parent-of-origin-dependent gene expression in mammals and flowering plants results from differing chromatin imprints (genomic imprinting) between maternally and paternally inherited alleles. Imprinted gene expression in the endosperm of seeds is associated with localized hypomethylation of maternally but not paternally inherited DNA, with certain small RNAs also displaying parent-of-origin-specific expression. To understand the evolution of imprinting mechanisms in Oryza sativa (rice), we analyzed imprinting divergence among four cultivars that span both japonica and indica subspecies: Nipponbare, Kitaake, 93-11, and IR64. Most imprinted genes are imprinted across cultivars and enriched for functions in chromatin and transcriptional regulation, development, and signaling. However, 4 to 11% of imprinted genes display divergent imprinting. Analyses of DNA methylation and small RNAs revealed that endosperm-specific 24-nt small RNA-producing loci show weak RNA-directed DNA methylation, frequently overlap genes, and are imprinted four times more often than genes. However, imprinting divergence most often correlated with local DNA methylation epimutations (9 of 17 assessable loci), which were largely stable within subspecies. Small insertion/deletion events and transposable element insertions accompanied 4 of the 9 locally epimutated loci and associated with imprinting divergence at another 4 of the remaining 8 loci. Correlating epigenetic and genetic variation occurred at key regulatory regions-the promoter and transcription start site of maternally biased genes, and the promoter and gene body of paternally biased genes. Our results reinforce models for the role of maternal-specific DNA hypomethylation in imprinting of both maternally and paternally biased genes, and highlight the role of transposition and epimutation in rice imprinting evolution.

Project description:Mistakes in the maintenance of CG methylation is a source of heritable epimutations in plants. Multigenerational surveys indicate that the rate of these stochastic events varies substantially across the genome, with some regions harboring localized “epimutation hotspots”. Using Arabidopsis as a model, we show that epimutation hotspots are indexed by a specific set of chromatin states (CS) that map to sub-regions of gene body methylation genes. Although these regions comprise only ~12% of all CGs in the genome, they account for ~63% of all epimutation events per unit time. Molecular profiling revealed that these regions contain unique sequence features, harbor steady-state intermediate methylation levels, and act as putative targets of antagonistic DNA methylation pathways. We further demonstrate that experimentally-induced shifts in steady-state methylation in these hotspot regions are sufficient to significantly alter local epimutation intensities. Our work thus lays foundation for dissecting the molecular mechanisms of epimutation hotspots in plants.

Project description:The goal of these experiments was to define the targets of Ty3 transposition in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Ty3 is a retroviruslike element that is found at the transcription initiation site of chromosomal tRNA genes. A Ty3 that can be induced by growth in galactose-containing medium and which was marked by an insertion of HIS3 downstream of the second open reading frame of the element (POL3) was induced to undergo transposition by plating cells onto galactose containing medium and replica-plating onto medium selective for cells that had undergone transposition. These cells were collected, DNA was extracted, and inverse PCR was performed using primers inside the Ty3 element in order to generate a library of insertion sites flanked by Illumina sequence-compatible primers.

Project description:We use a mouse model of age-dependent p16 epimutation, in which the p16 gene activity is directly controlled by promoter DNA methylation. We show p16 epimutation is modulated by folate and cofactors in dietary supplementation, which leads to increased colon cancer risk. Importantly, our findings provide functional evidence concerning the safety of folate fortification in the general population.

Project description:Using a mouse model of engineered p16 promoter hypermethylation (p16cis/cis), we found that p16 epimutation cooperates with mutant Apc to promote colon cancer development. Therefore, we performed RNA-seq analysis to identify genes regulated by p16 epimutation that contribute to intestinal carcinogenesis.

Project description:Constitutional epimutations of tumor suppressor genes manifest as promoter methylation and transcriptional silencing of a single allele in normal somatic tissues, thereby predisposing to cancer. Constitutional MLH1 epimutations occur in individuals with young-onset cancer and demonstrate non-Mendelian inheritance through their reversal in the germline. We report a cancer-affected family showing dominant transmission of soma-wide highly mosaic MLH1 methylation and transcriptional repression linked to a particular genetic haplotype. The epimutation was erased in spermatozoa but reinstated in the somatic cells of the next generation. The affected haplotype harbored two single nucleotide substitutions in tandem: c.-27C>A located near the transcription initiation site and c.85G>T. The c.-27C>A variant significantly reduced transcriptional activity in reporter assays and is the probable cause of this epimutation. Five members of a three-generation Caucasian Lynch syndrome family with an autosomal dominant MLH1 epimutation linked to a single nucleotide variant (c.-27C>A) within the MLH1 5'UTR were examined for copy number variations and retention of heterozygosity on chromosome 3. These five carriers of constitutional MLH1 methylation and the c.-27C>A variant were compared with 300 healthy Caucasian controls from the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium using three algorithms (QuantiSNP, PennCNV, COKGEN) to detect any copy number variants. The five family members studied were female (the proband II5, her affected mother I1, and three asymptomatic relatives II2, II4 and III2) are labeled according to the pedigree in Figure 3 of the associated publication (Hitchins et al., Cancer Cell, 2011). The supplementary file 'GSE30348_gw6.lrr_baf.txt' contains log R ratio and B-allele frequency values in a tab-delimited format with one marker per row.

Project description:Methylation of p16 promoter resulting in epigenetic gene silencing- known as p16 epimutation- is common in human colorectal cancer (CRC). Using mouse models, we demonstrated that p16 epimutation cooperates with mutant Apc to promote colon cancer development. To comprehensively characterize immune function within the tumor microenvironment (TME), we performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of colon tumors in these animals.
