The transcription repressors Bach2 and Bach1 promote B cell development by repressing the myeloid program

ABSTRACT: Mature lymphoid cells express the transcriptional repressor Bach2, which imposes regulation on humoral and cellular immunity. Here we found critical roles for Bach2 in the development of cells of the B lineage, commencing from the common lymphoid progenitor (CLP) stage, with Bach1 as an auxiliary. Overexpression of Bach2 in pre-pro-B cells deficient in the transcription factor EBF1 and single-cell analysis of CLPs revealed that Bach2 and Bach1 repressed the expression of genes important for myeloid cells (M-bM-^@M-^Xmyeloid genesM-bM-^@M-^Y). Bach2 and Bach1 bound to presumptive regulatory regions of the myeloid genes. Bach2hi CLPs showed resistance to myeloid differentiation even when cultured under myeloid conditions. Our results suggest that Bach2 functions with Bach1 and EBF1 to promote B cell development by repressing myeloid genes in CLPs. WT and Bach1 and Bach2 double deficient (DD) CLPs. Multipotent progenitors (MPPs) infected with control-GFP and Bach2-GFP and cultured several condition. Follicular B cells (Fo B) stimulated with IgM. Three expreriments was performed in this paper.

Project description:The transmission of the malaria parasite between mosquitoes and mammals requires translational repression to ensure that only the proper proteins are expressed at the right time, while still allowing the parasite to prepare the mRNAs it will need for the next developmental stage. With relatively few known specific transcription factors (ApiAP2 family) that may specifically initiate gene transcription, Plasmodium parasites also regulate the stability and turnover of transcripts to provide more comprehensive gene regulation. The CAF1/CCR4/NOT complex has been shown in model organisms to be important for not only mRNA degradation, but also translational control through its deadenylases CAF1 and CCR4. However, few proteins that impose translational repression in Plasmodium sexual stages are known, and those that are characterized primarily affect female gametocytes. Therefore, we have characterized two deadenylases and have uncovered their roles in transmission. We have identified and characterized CCR4-1, which we show plays a role in activating male gametocytes, stabilizing transcripts in gametocytes, and regulating host-to-vector transmission. We find that when ccr4-1 is genetically deleted, there is a loss in the coordination of male gametocyte activation and a reduction in the ability of the parasite to productively infect the mosquito, which is independent of its effect upon male activation. Comparative RNA-seq shows that the deletion of ccr4-1 affects many transcripts that are translationally repressed in females, are related to male gamete function, and/or are important for early mosquito stage development. In contrast, we found that genetic deletion of the major deadenylase Caf1 is lethal. However, we observed that expression of only the N-terminal Caf1 domain is permissive, yet prevents proper complex assembly and phenocopies the ccr4-1 deletion. We therefore conclude that the general and transmission-specialized deadenylases of the CAF1/CCR4/NOT complex play critical and intertwined roles in parasite growth and transmission.
