Modeling methyl-sensitive transcription factor motifs with an expanded epigenetic alphabet

Project description:As part of our larger study, we validated our predicted methylated and hydroxymethylated binding preferences of OCT4. This represents the first conjoint CUT&RUN experiment across conventional, methylation-, and hydroxymethylation-enriched sequences.

Modeling methyl-sensitive transcription factor motifs with an expanded epigenetic alphabet.

Project description:BackgroundTranscription factors bind DNA in specific sequence contexts. In addition to distinguishing one nucleobase from another, some transcription factors can distinguish between unmodified and modified bases. Current models of transcription factor binding tend not to take DNA modifications into account, while the recent few that do often have limitations. This makes a comprehensive and accurate profiling of transcription factor affinities difficult.ResultsHere, we develop methods to identify transcription factor binding sites in modified DNA. Our models expand the standard A/C/G/T DNA alphabet to include cytosine modifications. We develop Cytomod to create modified genomic sequences and we also enhance the MEME Suite, adding the capacity to handle custom alphabets. We adapt the well-established position weight matrix (PWM) model of transcription factor binding affinity to this expanded DNA alphabet. Using these methods, we identify modification-sensitive transcription factor binding motifs. We confirm established binding preferences, such as the preference of ZFP57 and C/EBPβ for methylated motifs and the preference of c-Myc for unmethylated E-box motifs.ConclusionsUsing known binding preferences to tune model parameters, we discover novel modified motifs for a wide array of transcription factors. Finally, we validate our binding preference predictions for OCT4 using cleavage under targets and release using nuclease (CUT&RUN) experiments across conventional, methylation-, and hydroxymethylation-enriched sequences. Our approach readily extends to other DNA modifications. As more genome-wide single-base resolution modification data becomes available, we expect that our method will yield insights into altered transcription factor binding affinities across many different modifications.

RG motifs promote piRNA-mediated gene silencing

Project description:Argonaute proteins are essential players in RNA silencing pathways, and their N-terminal extensions, particularly in the PIWI clade, often harbor conserved sequences like RG motifs. Despite their prevalence in Argonaute proteins, the role of these motifs remains poorly understood. In this study, we focus on the RG motifs within the N-terminal region of Caenorhabditis elegans PRG-1, a PIWI clade Argonaute. Using sequence alignment across Caenorhabditis species, we identify three conserved RG motifs that are methylated, as confirmed by mass spectrometry. The region surrounding these motifs is intrinsically disordered, as predicted by disorder algorithms and structural modeling. While the RG motifs are critical for fertility, germline morphology, and piRNA silencing, they are not required for PRG-1 expression, localization, or piRNA loading. Notably, mutation of the RG motifs results in defects in downstream small RNA production, specifically the depletion of mutator class siRNAs, without affecting piRNA biogenesis. These findings suggest that the RG motifs of PRG-1 play a crucial role in linking piRNA-mediated silencing to siRNA production, and that their function is critical for fertility and germline maintenance in C. elegans. Despite these defects, the phenotypic severity in the RG mutant is milder than in a PRG-1 null mutant, highlighting the complexity of PRG-1 function and its post-translational modifications.

Genome-wide methylation and expression analysis of two breast cancer cell lines [Methyl-MAPS]

Project description:To improve our understanding of the relationships between methylation and expression we profiled mRNA expression and single-base resolution methylation levels for two breast cancer cell lines, MCF7 and T47D. Expression was profiled using RNA-seq. Methylation was assayed using Methyl-MAPS, which uses methylation-sensitive and -dependent restriction enzyme digests followed by high-throughput sequencing to identify methylation levels at individual CpGs (Edwards et al. 2010, Genome Research). DNA Methylation was assayed for two breast cancer cell lines using Methyl-MAPS.

Unsupervised mining of HLA-I peptidomes reveals unsuspected false positives and new binding motifs

Project description:Modern antigen vaccine designs and studies of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-mediated immune responses rely heavily on the knowledge of HLA allele-specific binding motifs and computational prediction of antigen-HLA binding affinity. Breakthroughs in HLA peptidomics have considerably expanded the databases of natural HLA antigens and enabled detailed characterizations of antigen-HLA binding specificity. However, cautions must be made when analyzing HLA peptidomics data because identified peptides may be contaminants or may weakly bind to the HLA molecules. Here, a hybrid de novo peptide sequencing approach was applied to large-scale mono-allelic HLA peptidomics datasets to uncover new antigens and refine current knowledge of HLA binding motifs. Up to 12-40% contaminations in the form of tryptic peptides were identified in the peptidomics data of HLA alleles whose binding motifs do not involve an arginine or a lysine at the C-terminus. Thousands of these peptides were reported in a community database as positive antigens and might be erroneously used to train prediction models. Furthermore, unsupervised clustering of identified antigens not only revealed additional binding motifs for several HLA class I alleles but also effectively isolated outliers which were confirmed to be false positives in a binding experiment. Overall, our findings expanded the knowledge of HLA binding specificity and indicated that a more careful HLA peptidomics data interpretation protocol is needed to ensure the high quality of community antigen databases.

Impeding transcription of expanded microsatellite repeats by deactivated Cas9

Project description:Transcription of expanded microsatellite repeats is associated with multiple human diseases, including myotonic dystrophy, Fuchs’ endothelial corneal dystrophy, and C9orf72-ALS/FTD. Eliminating or reducing production of RNA and proteins arising from these expanded loci holds therapeutic benefit. Here, we tested the hypothesis that a deactivated form of the Cas9 enzyme impedes transcription across expanded microsatellites. We observed a repeat length-, PAM-, and strand-dependent reduction in the abundance of repeat-containing RNAs upon targeting dCas9 directly to repeat sequences. Aberrant splicing patterns were rescued in DM1 cells, and production of RAN peptides characteristic of DM1, DM2, and C9orf72-ALS/FTD cells was drastically decreased. Systemic delivery of dCas9/gRNA by adeno-associated virus led to reductions in pathological RNA foci, rescue of chloride channel 1 protein expression, and decreased myotonia. These observations suggest that transcription of microsatellite repeat-containing RNAs is more sensitive to perturbation than transcription of other RNAs, indicating potentially viable strategies for therapeutic intervention.
