Tri-methylation of lysine 36 on H3 restricts gene expression variation during aging and impacts lifespan

ABSTRACT: Functional data indicate that specific histone modification enzymes can be key to longevity in Caenorhabditis elegans, but epigenetic mechanisms of lifespan regulation are not well understood. In this study, we profiled the genome-wide pattern of tri-methylation of lysine 36 on histone 3 (H3K36me3) in the somatic cells of young and old C. elegans. We revealed a new role of H3K36me3 in maintaining gene expression stability through aging with important consequence on longevity. We found that genes with dramatic expression change during aging are marked with low or even undetectable levels of H3K36me3 in their gene-bodies, irrespective of their corresponding mRNA abundance. Importantly, inactivation of the methyltransferase met-1 resulted in a decrease in global H3K36me3 marks, an increase in mRNA expression change with age, and a shortened lifespan, suggesting a causative role of the H3K36me3 marking in modulating age-dependent gene expression stability and longevity. We performed genome-wide mapping of histone H3 and H3K36me3 in young (D2A) and old (D12A) C.elegans somatic cells by ChIP-seq in glp-1(e2141). mRNA-seq was performed in young (D2A) and old (D12A) glp-1(e2141) somatic cells to identify mRNA expression change during aging from D2A to D12A.

mRNA profiling of wildtype, germline depleted, NMD mutant C. elegans whole worms and wildtype dissected gonads

Project description:Adjacent alternative 3’ splice sites, those separated by ≤18nt, provide a unique problem in the study of alternative splicing regulation; there is overlap of the cis-elements that define the adjacent sites. Identification of the intron's 3' end depends upon sequence elements that define the branchpoint, polypyrimidine tract and terminal AG dinucleotide. Starting with RNA-seq data from germline-enriched and somatic cell-enriched C. elegans samples, we identify hundreds of introns with adjacent alternative 3’ splice sites. We identify 203 events that undergo tissue-specific alternative splicing. For these, the regulation is mono-directional, with somatic cells preferring to splice at the distal 3' splice site and germline cells showing a distinct shift towards usage of the adjacent proximal 3' splice site. Splicing patterns in somatic cells follow consensus rules of 3’ splice site definition, using sites with a short stretch of pyrimidines and an AG dinucleotide. Splicing in germline cells occurs at proximal 3' splice sites that frequently lack a polypyrimidine tract or, occasionally, the AG dinucleotide. We provide evidence that use of germline-specific proximal 3' splice sites is conserved across Caenorhabditis species. We propose that divergent mechanisms exist between germline and somatic cells in determining an intron terminus at adjacent alternative 3’ splice sites. Examination of alternative splicing changes between germline- and somatic-cell enriched samples as well as nonsense-mediated decay mutants.

Mechanisms of stop codon readthrough mitigation reveal principles of GCN1 mediated translational quality control

Project description:Readthrough into the 3′ untranslated region (3′UTR) of the mRNA results in the production of aberrant proteins. Metazoans efficiently clear readthrough proteins, but the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Here, we show in C. elegans and mammalian cells that readthrough proteins are targeted by a coupled, two-level quality control pathway involving the BAG6 chaperone complex and the ribosome collision-sensing protein GCN1. Readthrough proteins with hydrophobic C-terminal extensions are recognized by SGTA-BAG6 and ubiquitylated by RNF126 for proteasomal degradation. Additionally, cotranslational mRNA decay initiated by GCN1 and CCR4/NOT limits the accumulation of readthrough products. Unexpectedly, selective ribosome profiling uncovered a general role of GCN1 in regulating translation dynamics when ribosomes encounter nonoptimal codons, a feature of 3′UTR sequences. Dysfunction of GCN1 results in mRNA and proteome imbalance, increasingly perturbing transmembrane proteins and collagens during aging. These results define GCN1 as a key factor acting during translation in maintaining protein homeostasis.

wt vs daf-2 C. elegans protein turnover

Project description:Most aging hypotheses revolve around the accumulation of some sort of damage resulting in gradual physiological decline and ultimately death. Avoiding protein damage accumulation by enhanced turnover should slow down the aging process and extend lifespan. However, lowering translational efficiency extends rather than shortens lifespan in C. elegans. We studied turnover of individual proteins in the conserved Insulin/Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF-1) receptor mutant daf-2 by combining Stable Isotope Labeling by Nitrogen-15 in Caenorhabditis elegans and LC-MS/MS. Intriguingly, the majority of proteins displayed prolonged half-lives in daf-2, while others remained unchanged, signifying that longevity is not supported by high protein turnover. This slow-down of protein turnover was most prominent for components of the translation machinery and mitochondria. In contrast, the high turnover of lysosomal hydrolases and very low turnover of cytoskeletal proteins remained largely unchanged in daf-2. The slow-down of protein dynamics and decreased abundance of the translational machinery may point at the importance of anabolic attenuation in lifespan extension as suggested by the hyperfunction theory.

FOXL2 interaction with different binding partners regulates the dynamics of granulosa cell differentiation across ovarian development

Project description:FOXL2 is a transcription factor essential for female fertility, expressed in somatic cells of the ovary, notably granulosa cells. In the mouse, Foxl2 deletion leads to partial sex reversal postnatally. However, deletion of the gene in 8-week-old females leads to granulosa to Sertoli cell transdifferentiation. We hypothesised that different outcomes of Foxl2 deletion in embryonic versus adult ovary may depend on a different role played across ovarian development. Therefore, we characterised the dynamics of gene expression and chromatin accessibility changes in purified murine granulosa cells across key developmental stages (E14.5, 1 and 8 weeks). We then performed genome-wide identification of FOXL2 target genes and on-chromatin interacting partners by ChIP-SICAP. We found that FOXL2 regulates more genes at postnatal stages, through the interaction with factors regulating primordial follicle activation (PFA), such as NR5A2, and others regulating steroidogenesis including AR and ESR2. As a proof of principle experiment, we chose one FOXL2 interactor, Ubiquitin specific protease 7 (USP7) and showed that deletion of this gene in granulosa cells leads to a blockage of PFA, impaired ovary development and sterility. Our study constitutes a comprehensive resource for exploration of the molecular mechanisms of ovarian development and causes of female infertility.

Taf7l cooperates with Trf2 to regulate spermiogenesis

Project description:Taf7l (a paralogue of Taf7) and Trf2 (a TBP-related protein) are components of the core promoter complex required for gene/tissue-specific transcription of protein-coding genes by RNA polymerase II. Previous studies reported that Taf7l knockout mice exhibit structurally abnormal sperm, reduced sperm count, weakened motility and compromised fertility. Here we find that continued backcrossing of Taf7l-/Y mice from N5 to N9 produced KO males that are essentially sterile. Genome-wide expression profiling by mRNA-seq analysis of wild type (WT) and Taf7l-/Y (KO) testes revealed that Taf7l ablation impairs the expression of many post-meiotic spermatogenic specific as well as metabolic genes. Importantly, histological analysis of testes revealed that Taf7l-/Y mice develop post-meiotic arrest at the first stage of spermiogenesis, phenotypically similar to Trf2-/- mice, but distinct from Taf4b-/- mice. Indeed, we find that Taf7l and Trf2 co-regulate post-meiotic genes, but none of Taf4b-regulated germ stem cell genes in testes. Genome-wide ChIP-seq studies indicate that TAF7L binds to promoters of activated post-meiotic genes in testis. Moreover, biochemical studies show that TAF7L associates with TRF2 both in vitro and in testis suggesting that TAF7L likely cooperates directly with TRF2 at promoters of a subset of post-meiotic genes to regulate spermiogenesis. Our findings thus provide a new mechanism for cell-type specific transcriptional control involving an interaction between a ‘non-prototypic’ core promoter recognition factor (Trf2) and an orphan TAF subunit (Taf7l) in mammalian testis-specific gene transcription. Genome-wide mapping of TAF7L and Pol II in testis tissue, and mRNA-seq expression profiling wild type and Taf7l knockout testis.

Male and Female DNA and RNA sequencing in several nematode species

Project description:The overall goal of this investigation was to investigate X-content of sex-biased genes in several nematode species. The following species of nematode were investigated: *C. elegans, *N2; *C. brenneri, *PB2801; *C. briggsae, *AF16; *C. remanei*, PB4641; *P. **pacificus, *PS312*.* Genomic DNA sequencing data was used to assign X and autosomal - linkage to unassembled sequencing contigs. Male and female RNA seq data was then generated and used to determine sex-biased expression. For both DNA and RNA experiments, 50bp paired-end (DNA) or single-end (RNA) reads were generated on the Illumina HiSeq 2500. Sequencing lanes were multiplexed. Genomic DNA was isolated from 50-100 hand-picked young adult worms. At least two replicates for each sex were prepared. DNA was sheared via sonication and 350-500 bp sequencing libraries were prepared following the Illumina protocol. Total RNA was isolated from at least 1000 hand-picked L4/young adult worms (*C. **elegans, *N2) or J4/young adult worms (*P. pacificus, *PS312*). *PolyA beads were used to enrich for mRNA. Stranded RNAseq libraries were prepared via incorporation of dUTPs during cDNA synthesis, following the protocol detailed in Parkhomchuk et al, 2009. DNAseq and RNAseq reads were aligned to the appropriate WS228 reference genomes. DNA sequencing data (2-3 replicates) from male and female YA worms are included along with RNAseq data from C.elegans YA hermaphrodites and P.pacificus YA males and hermaphrodites.

Tet1 and hydroxymethylcytosine in transcription and DNA methylation fidelity (ChIP/DIP-Seq data)

Project description:We analyzed the genome-wide binding of Tet1 in control (shScr) and Tet1 knockdown (shTet1) mouse ES cells using two different Tet1 antibodies (Tet1-C and Tet1-N). Furthermore, we generated genome-wide mapping of hydroxymethyl cytosine (hmC) and methyl cytosine (mC). We find that hmC, in contrast to mC, is also found at transcription start sites (TSSs), and that there is a significant overlap between Tet1 binding and hmC positive regions. Surprisingly, our results also suggest, that Tet1 has a role in transcriptional repression. We showed that Tet1 associates with Sin3A co-repressor complex, and by performing ChIP-sequencing of Sin3A, we find co-localisation of Tet1 and Sin3a throughout the genome Examination of Tet1 and Sin3A binding as well as hmC and mC localization in mouse ES cells

Transcriptional and epigenetic profiling of the progression of hESCs to beta cells

Project description:To characterize the epigenetic programs that underlie pancreas differentiation, we have generated genome-scale maps of H3K4me and H3K27me3 patterns by ChIP-seq and determined expression profiles by RNA-seq from undifferentiated human ESCs, four intermediate differentiated stages (definitive endoderm, primitive gut tube, posterior foregut, and pancreatic endoderm), and in vitro-differentiated polyhormonal cells. Antibodies against CD142 and CD200 were used to select for targeted pancreatic and endocrine populations at the end of the culture. Cells at the end of culture were implanted into mice for further differentiation into mature insulin-producing beta-cells and compared to sorted polyhormonal cells by RNA-seq and ChIP-seq analysis. For the experimental factor values the time points are along a differentiation protocol from stem cells to tissue. Values in the CD antibody column refer to antibodies used for cell sorting. In this column 'not applicable' refers to samples that were not sorted. 'none' refers to samples that were sorted, but did not bind to either of the two antibodies, CD200 and CD142. Values in the histone antibody column are about the ChIP process.

Dual Functions of TAF7L in Adipocyte Differentiation

Project description:The diverse transcriptional mechanisms governing cellular differentiation and development of mammalian tissue remains poorly understood. Here we report that TAF7L, a paralogue of TFIID subunit TAF7, is enriched in adipocytes and mouse white fat tissue (WAT). Depletion of TAF7L reduced adipocyte-specific gene expression and compromised adipocyte differentiation as well as WAT development. Ectopic expression of TAF7L in myoblasts reprograms these muscle precursors into adipocytes upon induction. Genome-wide mRNA-seq expression profiling and ChIP-seq binding studies confirmed that TAF7L is required for activating adipocyte-specific genes via a dual mechanism wherein it interacts with PPARM-NM-3 at enhancers and TBP/Pol II at core promoters. In vitro binding studies confirmed that TAF7L forms complexes with both TBP and PPARM-NM-3. These findings suggest that TAF7L plays an integral role in adipocyte gene expression by targeting enhancers as a cofactor for PPARM-NM-3 and promoters as a component of the core transcriptional machinery. Genome-wide mapping of TAF7L and additional factors, and mRNA-seq expression profiling prior to and following mouse adipocyte differentiation.
