Project description:Programmed DNA elimination (PDE) is a notable exception to the paradigm of genome integrity. In metazoa, PDE often occurs during early embryogenesis, coincident with germline to somatic cell differentiation. During PDE, portions of genomic DNA are lost, resulting in reduced somatic genomes. Recent studies have described the sequences lost and chromosome behavior in metazoa. However, a system for studying the mechanisms and consequences of PDE in metazoa is lacking. Here, we established a functional and genetic model for PDE in the free-living nematode Oscheius tipulae, a member of the Rhabditidae family, which includes Caenorhabditis elegans. O. tipulae was recently suggested to eliminate DNA. Using staged embryos, we show that O. tipulae PDE occurs during embryogenesis at the 2-16 cell stages, similar to the human/pig parasitic nematode Ascaris. We identified a conserved motif, named Sequence For Elimination (SFE), for all 12 break sites on the six chromosomes at the junction of retained and eliminated DNA. SFE mutants exhibit a “fail-to-eliminate” phenotype only at the modified sites. END-seq revealed that breaks can occur at multiple positions within the SFE, with extensive end resection followed by telomere addition to both retained and eliminated ends. We identified through END-seq in the wild-type embryos, genome sequencing of SFE mutants, and comparative genomics of 23 wild isolates a large number of functional SFEs at the chromosome ends. We suggest these alternative SFEs provide flexibility in the sequences eliminated and a fail-safe mechanism for PDE. These studies establish O. tipulae as a new, attractive model to study the mechanisms and consequences of PDE in a metazoan.

Project description:Programmed DNA elimination (PDE) is a notable exception to the paradigm of genome integrity. In metazoa, PDE often occurs coincident with germline to somatic cell differentiation. During PDE, portions of genomic DNA are lost, resulting in reduced somatic genomes. Prior studies have described the sequences lost, as well as chromosome behavior, during metazoan PDE. However, a system for studying the mechanisms and consequences of PDE in metazoa is lacking. Here, we present a functional and genetic model for PDE in the free-living Rhabditidae nematode Oscheius tipulae, a family that also includes Caenorhabditis elegans. O. tipulae was recently suggested to eliminate DNA. Using staged embryos and DNA FISH, we showed that O. tipulae PDE occurs during embryogenesis at the 8-16 cell stages. We identified a conserved motif, named Sequence For Elimination (SFE), for all 12 break sites on the six chromosomes at the junctions of retained and eliminated DNA. SFE mutants exhibited a "fail-to-eliminate" phenotype only at the modified sites. END-seq revealed that breaks can occur at multiple positions within the SFE, with extensive end resection followed by telomere addition to both retained and eliminated ends. We identified many functional SFEs at the chromosome ends through END-seq in the wild-type embryos, genome sequencing of SFE mutants, and comparative genomics of 23 wild isolates. We suggest that these alternative SFEs provide flexibility in the sequences eliminated and a fail-safe mechanism for PDE. These studies establish O. tipulae as a new, attractive model for studying the mechanisms and consequences of PDE in a metazoan.

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
