Project description:Ribonucleotides (rNMPs) incorporated in the nuclear genome are a well-established threat to genome stability and can result in DNA strand breaks when not removed in a timely manner. However, the presence of a certain level of rNMPs is tolerated in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), although aberrant mtDNA rNMP content has been identified in disease models. We investigated the effect of incorporated rNMPs on mtDNA stability over the mouse lifespan and found that the mtDNA rNMP content increased during early life. The rNMP content of mtDNA varied greatly across different tissues and was defined by the rNTP/dNTP ratio of the tissue. Accordingly, mtDNA rNMPs were nearly absent in SAMHD1−/− mice that have increased dNTP pools. The near absence of rNMPs did not, however, appreciably affect mtDNA copy number or the levels of mtDNA molecules with deletions or strand breaks in aged animals near the end of their lifespan. The physiological rNMP load therefore does not contribute to the progressive loss of mtDNA quality that occurs as mice age.

Project description:Organisms invest significant effort into maintaining genome stability. However, in diverse groups of eukaryotes, portions or entire chromosomes are lost in early development or during sex determination, a process known as programmed DNA elimination. Little is known about how different segments of the genome are reproducibly retained and discarded during programmed DNA elimination. We tested the hypothesis that selective retention is mediated by regulation of centromere-mediated association of chromosome segments with the mitotic spindle. We report that on the holocentric chromosomes of the nematode Ascaris, the core centromeric histone CENP-A is localized differently in cells undergoing DNA elimination from those undergoing germline mitosis. Prior to DNA elimination, CENP-A is significantly reduced in chromosome regions that will be lost. CENP-A reduction in eliminated genomic regions leads to the absence of kinetochores and microtubule attachment sites necessary for chromosome segregation, and thus the loss of these DNA regions during Ascaris programmed DNA elimination. Our results show that holocentric chromosome organization in Ascaris is regulated and that changes in CENP-A deposition specify which portions of chromosomes will be eliminated during programmed DNA elimination. A total of 62 samples are analyzed. These include: (1). CENP-A ChIP-seq on 12 developmental stages with input and replicates (12 x 2 x 2 samples); (2). CENP-C ChIP-seq on 3 developmental stages with input and replicates (total 8 samples); and (3). Histone marks ChIP-seq with 6 samples

Project description:Programmed DNA elimination is a developmentally regulated process leading to the reproducible loss of specific genomic sequences. DNA elimination occurs in unicellular ciliates and a variety of metazoans, including invertebrates and vertebrates. In metazoa, DNA elimination typically occurs in somatic cells during early development, leaving the germline genome intact. Reference genomes for metazoa that undergo DNA elimination are not available. Here, we generated germline and somatic reference genome sequences of the DNA eliminating pig parasitic nematode Ascaris suum and the horse parasite Parascaris univalens. In addition, we carried out in-depth analyses of DNA elimination in the parasitic nematode of humans, Ascaris lumbricoides, and the parasitic nematode of dogs, Toxocara canis. Our analysis of nematode DNA elimination reveals that in all species, repetitive sequences (that differ among the genera) and germline-expressed genes (approximately 1000-2000 or 5%-10% of the genes) are eliminated. Thirty-five percent of these eliminated genes are conserved among these nematodes, defining a core set of eliminated genes that are preferentially expressed during spermatogenesis. Our analysis supports the view that DNA elimination in nematodes silences germline-expressed genes. Over half of the chromosome break sites are conserved between Ascaris and Parascaris, whereas only 10% are conserved in the more divergent T. canis. Analysis of the chromosomal breakage regions suggests a sequence-independent mechanism for DNA breakage followed by telomere healing, with the formation of more accessible chromatin in the break regions prior to DNA elimination. Our genome assemblies and annotations also provide comprehensive resources for analysis of DNA elimination, parasitology research, and comparative nematode genome and epigenome studies.

Project description:The stability of the genome is paramount to organisms. However, diverse eukaryotes carry out programmed DNA elimination in which portions or entire chromsomes are lost in early development or during sex determination. During early development of the parasitic nematode, Ascaris suum, 13% of the genome is eliminated. How different genomic segments are reproducibly retained or discarded is unknown. Here, we show that centromeric histone CENP-A localization plays a key role in this process. We show that Ascaris chromosomes are holocentric during germline mitoses, with CENP-A distributed along their length. Prior to DNA elimination in the four-cell embryo, CENP-A is significantly diminished in chromosome regions that will be lost. This leads to the absence of kinetochores and microtubule attachment sites necessary for chromosome segregation, resulting in loss of these regions upon mitosis. Our data suggest that changes in CENP-A localization specify which portions of chromosomes will be lost during programmed DNA elimination.
