Project description:Here, we demonstrate that IkBa displays a predominant and unique nuclear localization in normal basal keratinocytes. This nuclear IkBa binds the chromatin through direct interaction of the ankyrin repeats with histone H2A and associates with the promoter and regulatory regions of several developmental-related genes including HOXA10, HOXB2 and HOXB9. Most importantly, IkBa dictates the competence of these HOX genes to be activated upon TNFa stimulation. Examination of IkBalpha location in keratinocyte cells

Project description:Here we report the identification of genomic regions of DNA bound by Dp1 in Drosophila S2R+ cells. Dp1 is a dimerization partner of several E2F transcription factors and is needed for E2F target promoter binding. We find that Dp1 binds the promoter regions of genes important for oxidative phosphorylation. This result is important since our data demonstrates that expression of several oxidative phosphorylation genes is down-regulated in dDP mutant Drosophila 3rd instar larval eye imaginal discs. These ChIP-seq results suggest that the mechanism by which dDP regulates expression of these genes is direct. In addition, we have confirmed a number of these Dp1 bound gene promoters by conventional Chromatin Immunoprecipitation.

Project description:How epigenetic information is transmitted from generation to generation remains largely unknown. Deletion of the C. elegans Histone H3 lysine 4 dimethyl (H3K4me2) demethylase spr-5 leads to inherited accumulation of the euchromatic H3K4me2 mark and progressive decline in fertility. Here we identified a genetic network of chromatin-modifying factors, including the H3K4me1/me2 methyltransferases SET-17 and SET-30, the H3K9me1/me2 methyltransferase MET-2, an H3K9me3 methyltransferase, SET-26, the H3K9me3 demethylase JMJD-2, and an H3K9me reader EAP-1, which regulate the trans-generational flow of epigenetic information. Importantly, genetic ablation of set-17, set-30, jmjd-2, or eap-1 suppresses the progressive transgenerational phenotypes, while loss of SET-26 or MET-2 accelerates the infertility of spr-5 mutant worms. We further show that loss of spr-5 also causes a trans-generational increase in lifespan, which is dependent on these chromatin regulators as well as DAF-36 and DAF-12, which control a germline to soma longevity signaling pathway. These findings suggest that the balance between the euchromatic H3K4 and the heterochromatic H3K9 methylation regulates trans-generational effects on longevity and fertility. EAP-1 binding ChIPseq libraries were prepared from 50 ul of packed young adult worms which were maintained at 16 degrees until the appropriate generation and then shifted to 25 degrees after birth. Two biological repeats were generated for wildtype and generation 20 spr-5(by101) mutant worms and a single repeat for generation 10. There were four input samples and eap-1 null mutant worms were also analyzed.

Project description:We report the identification of genomic regions bound by KDM5A in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells and define the functional categories that these regions represent. KDM5A modifies methylated lysine residues on histone tails. We developed anti-KDM5A antibodies and set to detect genomic regions enriched with these antibodies using cells with normal Kdm5a or cells from Kdm5a knockout mice as a control. We found high enrichment with the KDM5A antibodies in normal cells when compared with the genomic background. We found striking identity in the regions enriched with these antibodies in normal cells when compared with the total genomic DNA or with KDM5A ChIP assays from Kdm5a KO cells, showing that the antibodies are specific.

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have important regulatory roles and can function at the level of chromatin. To determine where lncRNAs bind to chromatin, we developed CHART, a hybridization-based technique that specifically enriches endogenous RNAs along with their targets from reversibly-crosslinked chromatin extracts. CHART was used to enrich the DNA and protein targets of endogenous lncRNAs from fly and human. This analysis was extended to genome-wide mapping of roX2, a well-studied ncRNA involved in dosage-compensation in Drosophila. CHART revealed that roX2 binds at specific genomic sites that coincide with the binding sites of proteins from the MSL-complex that affects dosage compensation. These results reveal the genomic targets of roX2 and demonstrate how CHART can be used to study RNAs in a manner analogous to ChIP for proteins. Examination of the binding sites of roX2 ncRNA from S2 cells using two different elution strategies compared with a sense control or input control.

Project description:The established hierarchical model explaining co-occupancy of Polycomb repressor complexes 1 and 2 (PRC 1 and 2) at target loci proposes that the chromodomain of the polycomb protein, a core PRC1 subunit, recognises the H3K27me3 histone modification catalysed by PRC2. We used chromatin immunoprecipitation to analyse PRC1 occupancy at target loci in Eed-/- mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) that lack H3K27me3. Occupancy of the core PRC1 proteins Ring1B and Mel18 was strongly reduced, consistent with the hierarchical model. However, levels of H2A ubiquitylation (H2AK119u1), the histone modification catalysed by PRC1, were similar to wild-type cells, suggesting PRC1 recruitment is independent of H3K27me3. ChIP-sequencing analysis of Ring1B occupancy genome wide substantiated this conclusion, demonstrating significant Ring1B levels at polycomb target loci in Eed-/- ESCs. Thus PRC1 and PRC2 are recruited independently to sites that they co-occupy. We conclude that the primary function of H3K27me3 is to increase the residency of PRC1 at target loci and thereby to contribute to the stability of PRC1 mediated silencing.

Project description:Transcription factor Ebf1 is an important determinant of early B lymphopoiesis. To gain insight into differentiation stage-specific functions of Ebf1, we conditionally inactivated Ebf1. We found that Ebf1 is required for proliferation, survival and signaling of pro-B cells and peripheral B cell subsets. The proliferation defect of Ebf1-deficient pro-B cells, including the impaired expression of IL-7Ra and several cell cycle regulators, is overcome by transformation with v-Abl. The survival defect of transformed Ebf1fl/fl pro-B cells can be rescued by the forced expression of the Ebf1 targets c-Myb or Bcl-xL. In mature B cells, Ebf1 deficiency interferes with the BAFF-R and BCR-dependent Akt signaling pathways, as well as with germinal center formation and class switch recombination. Genome-wide analyses of Ebf1 binding and Ebf1-mediated gene expression in mature B cells and comparison with reported data sets in pro-B cells provide insight into the basis for lineage- and stage-specific functions of Ebf1.

Project description:Mycorrhizae, symbiotic interactions between soil fungi and tree roots, are ubiquitous in terrestrial ecosystems. The fungi contribute phosphorous, nitrogen and mobilized nutrients from organic matter in the soil and in return the fungus receives photosynthetically-derived carbohydrates. This union of plant and fungal metabolisms is the mycorrhizal metabolome. Understanding this symbiotic relationship at a molecular level provides important contributions to the understanding of forest ecosystems and global carbon cycling. We generated next generation short-read transcriptomic sequencing data from fully-formed ectomycorrhizae between Laccaria bicolor and aspen (Populus tremuloides) roots. The transcriptomic data was used to identify statistically significantly expressed gene models using a bootstrap-style approach, and these expressed genes were mapped to specific metabolic pathways. Integration of expressed genes that code for metabolic enzymes and the set of expressed membrane transporters generates a predictive model of the ectomycorrhizal metabolome. Results indicate the specific compounds glycine, glutamate, and allantoin are synthesized by L. bicolor and that these compounds or their metabolites may be used for the benefit of aspen in exchange for the photosynthetically-derived sugars fructose and glucose.The analysis illustrates an approach to generate testable biological hypotheses to investigate the complex molecular interactions that drive ectomycorrhizal symbiosis. These models are consistent with experimental environmental data and provide insight into the molecular exchange processes for organisms in this complex ecosystem. The method used here for predicting metabolomic models of mycorrhizal systems from deep RNA sequencing data can be generalized and is broadly applicable to transcriptomic data derived from complex systems.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been implicated in regulating multiple processes during brain development in various species. However, the function of miRNAs in human brain development remains largely unexplored. Here, we provide a comprehensive analysis of miRNA expression of regionalized neural progenitor cells derived from human embryonic stem cells and human fetal brain. We found that several miRNAs displaying both age-specific and region-specific expression patterns. Among these miRNAs we identified miR-10 to be specifically expressed in the human hindbrain and spinal cord, while absent from rostral regions. Gain-of-function experiments further demonstrated that miR-10 alone could drive caudalization of human neural progenitors cells. Together, these data confirms a role for miRNAs in establishing different human neural progenitor populations. This data set also provides a comprehensive resource for future studies investigating the functional role of different miRNAs in human brain development MicroRNA sequencing of 34 samples from human embryonic stem cells and human fetal brains.
