Regulation of Gene Expression Dynamics during Developmental Transitions by the Ikaros Transcription Factor

ABSTRACT: The DNA-binding protein, Ikaros, functions as a potent tumor suppressor and hematopoietic regulator. However, the mechanisms by which Ikaros functions in the nucleus remain largely undefined, due in part to its atypical DNA-binding properties and partnership with the poorly understood Mi-2/NuRD complex. In this study, we extended our analysis of thymocyte development and lymphomagenesis in a mouse strain containing a specific deletion of Ikaros zinc finger 4, which exhibits a select subset of abnormalities observed in Ikaros null mice. By examining thymopoiesis in vivo and in vitro, numerous abnormalities were observed. RNA-sequencing revealed that each developmental stage is characterized by mis-regulation of a limited number of genes, with a strong preference for genes modulated in a stage-specific manner. Strikingly, individual genes and pathways rarely exhibited Ikaros-dependence at all developmental stages. Instead, the most consistent feature of aberrantly expressed genes was a reduced magnitude of expression level change during a developmental transition. These results and others suggest that Ikaros may not be a dedicated and consistent activator or repressor of a defined set of genes. Instead, its primary function may be to support the dynamic range of gene expression changes during developmental transitions via atypical molecular mechanisms that remain undefined.

Selective Functions of Individual Zinc Fingers Within the DNA-Binding Domain of Ikaros (RNA-seq: sorted DP thymocytes)

Project description:The C2H2 zinc finger is the most prevalent DNA-binding motif in the mammalian proteome, with DNA-binding domains usually containing more tandem fingers than are needed for stable sequence-specific DNA recognition. To examine the reason for the frequent presence of multiple zinc fingers, we generated mice lacking finger 1 or finger 4 of the 4-finger DNA-binding domain of Ikaros, a critical regulator of lymphopoiesis and leukemogenesis. Each mutant strain exhibited a specific subset of the phenotypes observed with Ikaros null mice. Of particular relevance, fingers 1 and 4 contributed to distinct stages of B- and T-cell development and finger 4 was selectively required for tumor suppression in thymocytes and in a new model of BCR-ABL+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia. These results, combined with transcriptome profiling (this GEO submission: RNA-Seg of whole thymus from wt and the two ZnF mutants), reveal that different subsets of fingers within multi-finger transcription factors can regulate distinct target genes and biological functions, and they demonstrate that selective mutagenesis can facilitate efforts to elucidate the functions and mechanisms of action of this prevalent class of factors.

Analysis of Pro-Inflammatory Gene Activation and RNA Processing by RNAseq of Nascent Transcripts [supplement]

Project description:Note: These datasets are in supplement to, but separate from, Geo GSE32916. We examined pro-inflammatory gene activation in activated wildtype and IFNAR-/- murine macrophages by performing RNA-Seq with poly(A) enriched transcripts. This experimental strategy allowed a global, high-resolution analysis of the transcriptional regulation of diverse classes of co-expressed genes and allowed us to identify co-expressed gene classes that may depend on IFN-signaling for its expression. The results provide quantitative insights into the relationship between transcription and distinct promoter and chromatin properties.

Genes expression in case of PEV caused by chromosomal rearrangement

Project description:Heterochromatic position effect variegation (PEV) is the epigenetic disruption of genes expression near the new-formed eu-heterochromatic border. We characterized the inversion In(2)A4, demonstrating cis-acting PEV as well as trans-inactivation of the reporter transgenes on the opposite normal chromosome in combination with the inversion. Euchromatic breakpoint of In(2)A4 inversion was localized at 105 bp region (chr2L:21182214-21182318) of the second exon of the Mcm10 gene, the heterochromatic breakpoint is located at the block of dodecasatellite in 2L pericentromeric heterochromatin. In order to check the effects of heterochromatin on neighbor euchromatic genes and estimate the distance of inactivation spreading, we performed RNA-seq analysis of genes expression in larvae and adults females of genotypes A12/A12 (control) and In(2)A4/In(2)A4. Cis-influence of heterochromatin in the inversion causes not only repression, but also activation of genes, and the effects of heterochromatin are different at different developmental stages. Cis-actions affect only a few genes located near the heterochromatin Comparison of genes expression in wild type and demonstrating PEV larvae and adults in two repeats each

The SNF2 and RING domain proteins FRG1 and 2 are required for RNA-directed DNA methylation in Arabidopsis [mRNA-Seq]

Project description:DNA methylation in Arabidopsis thaliana is maintained by at least four different enzymes: MET1, CMT3, DRM2, and CMT2. However, DNA methylation is established exclusively by the enzyme DRM2, which acts in the RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) pathway. Some RdDM components belong to gene families and have partially redundant functions, such as DICER-LIKE 2, 3 and 4, and IDN2- LIKE 1 and 2. Traditional mutagenesis screens usually fail to detect genes if they are redundant, since the loss of one gene can be compensated by a related gene. In an effort to circumvent this issue, we utilized co-expression data to identify closely related genes that are co-regulated with genes in the RdDM pathway. Here we report the discovery of two redundant proteins, SNF2-RING-HELICASE-LIKE1 and 2 (FRG1 and 2) that are putative chromatin-related paralogous proteins. Analysis of genome–wide bisulfite sequencing shows that simultaneous mutations of FRG1 and 2 cause broad defects in methylation at RdDM targeted loci. We also show that FRG1 stably associates with Su(var)3-9-related SUVR2, a known RdDM component, in vivo. Combined, our results identify FRG1 and FRG2 as novel components of the RdDM machinery. mRNA profiles of 14 days old seedlings of Columbia 0 wild type and frg1-1 frg2-1 double mutants, 3 biological replicates each.

Deep Sequencing of the Porcine Endometrial Transcriptome on Day 14 of Pregnancy

Project description:In pigs, conceptus attachment to the uterine surface epithelium starts around day 14 of pregnancy preceded by a pronounced vascularization at the implantation zones, initiating the epitheliochorial placentation. To characterize the complex transcriptome changes in the endometrium in the course of initial conceptus attachment deep sequencing of endometrial RNA samples of pregnant animals (n=4) and corresponding cyclic controls (n=4) was performed using Illumina RNA-Seq. The obtained sequence reads were mapped to the porcine genome and relative expression values were calculated for the analysis of differential gene expression. Statistical analysis revealed 1,933 differentially expressed genes (FDR 1%), 1,229 with higher and 704 with lower mRNA concentration in the samples from pregnant animals. Expression of selected genes was validated by the use of quantitative real-time RT-PCR. The RNA-Seq data were compared to results of a microarray study of bovine endometrium on day 18 of pregnancy and additional related data sets. Bioinformatics analysis revealed for the genes with higher mRNA concentration in pregnant samples strong overrepresentation particularly for immune-related functional terms but also for apoptosis and cell adhesion. Overrepresented terms for the genes with lower mRNA concentration in pregnant samples were related to extracellular region, ion transport, cell adhesion and lipid and steroid metabolic process. In conclusion, RNA-Seq analysis revealed comprehensive transcriptome differences in porcine endometrium between day 14 of pregnancy and corresponding cyclic endometrium and highlighted new processes and pathways probably involved in regulation of non-invasive implantation in the pig. In total, 8 samples were analyzed, 4 biological replicates for pregnant animals (samples from 4 different animals) and 4 biological replicates for cyclic controls (samples from 4 different animals)

Transcriptome sequencing of Prunus mume for different tissues.

Project description:We have sequenced a wild Prunus mume and constructed a reference sequence for this genome. In order to improve quality of gene models, RNA samples of five tissues (bud, leaf, root, stem, fruit) were extracted from the Prunus mume. To investigate tissue specific expression using the reference genome assembly and annotated genes, we extracted RNA samples of different tissues and conducted transcriptome sequencing and DEG analysis. Five RNA pools were created corresponding to different tissues of the Prunus mume.
