Uniparental Genome Elimination in Australian Carp Gudgeons.

ABSTRACT: Metazoans usually reproduce sexually, blending the unique identity of parental genomes for the next generation through functional crossing-over and recombination in meiosis. However, some metazoan lineages have evolved reproductive systems where offspring are either full (clonal) or partial (hemiclonal) genetic replicas. In the latter group, the process of uniparental genome elimination selectively eliminates either the maternal or paternal genome from germ cells, and only one parental genome is selected for transmission. Although fairly common in plants, hybridogenesis (i.e., clonal haploidization via chromosome elimination) remains a poorly understood process in animals. Here, we explore the proximal cytogenomic mechanisms of somatic and germ cell chromosomes in sexual and hybrid genotypes of Australian carp gudgeons (Hypseleotris) by tracing the fate of each set during mitosis (in somatic tissues) and meiosis (in gonads). Our comparative study of diploid hybrid and sexual individuals revealed visually functional gonads in male and female hybrid genotypes and generally high karyotype variability, although the number of chromosome arms remains constant. Our results delivered direct evidence for classic hybridogenesis as a reproductive mode in carp gudgeons. Two parental sets with integral structure in the hybrid soma (the F1 constitution) contrasted with uniparental chromosomal inheritance detected in gonads. The inheritance mode happens through premeiotic genome duplication of the parental genome to be transmitted, whereas the second parental genome is likely gradually eliminated already in juvenile individuals. The role of metacentric chromosomes in hybrid evolution is also discussed.

Unrepaired DNA damage facilitates elimination of uniparental chromosomes in interspecific hybrid cells.

Project description:Elimination of uniparental chromosomes occurs frequently in interspecific hybrid cells. For example, human chromosomes are always eliminated during clone formation when human cells are fused with mouse cells. However, the underlying mechanisms are still elusive. Here, we show that the elimination of human chromosomes in human-mouse hybrid cells is accompanied by continued cell division at the presence of DNA damage on human chromosomes. Deficiency in DNA damage repair on human chromosomes occurs after cell fusion. Furthermore, increasing the level of DNA damage on human chromosomes by irradiation accelerates human chromosome loss in hybrid cells. Our results indicate that the elimination of human chromosomes in human-mouse hybrid cells results from unrepaired DNA damage on human chromosomes. We therefore provide a novel mechanism underlying chromosome instability which may facilitate the understanding of carcinogenesis.

Loss of centromeric histone H3 (CENH3) from centromeres precedes uniparental chromosome elimination in interspecific barley hybrids.

Project description:Uniparental chromosome elimination occurs in several interspecific hybrids of plants. We studied the mechanism underlying selective elimination of the paternal chromosomes during the early development of Hordeum vulgare × Hordeum bulbosum embryos. The following conclusions regarding the role of the centromere-specific histone H3 variant (CENH3) in the process of chromosome elimination were drawn: (i) centromere inactivity of H. bulbosum chromosomes triggers the mitosis-dependent process of uniparental chromosome elimination in unstable H. vulgare × H. bulbosum hybrids; (ii) centromeric loss of CENH3 protein rather than uniparental silencing of CENH3 genes causes centromere inactivity; (iii) in stable species combinations, cross-species incorporation of CENH3 occurs despite centromere-sequence differences, and not all CENH3 variants get incorporated into centromeres if multiple CENH3s are present in species combinations; and (iv) diploid barley species encode two CENH3 variants, the proteins of which are intermingled within centromeres throughout mitosis and meiosis.

Mitochondrial genome of Ying hybrid carp (Russian scattered scale mirror carp ♀ × carp-goldfish nucleocytoplasmic hybrid ♂).

Project description:The complete mitogenomes of Ying hybrid carp (Russian scattered scale mirror carp ♀ × Carp-goldfish nucleocytoplasmic hybrid ♂) was sequenced by PCR-based method. The total of the mtDNA was 16,581 bp, and consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, 2rRNA genes, and 1 control region (D-loop region). The overall base composition was as follows: A: 31.9%, T: 24.8%, C: 27.5%, and G: 15.8%, respectively. The overall AT and GC skew were found to be 0.125 and -0.271, respectively. A majority of the genes used ATG as the start codon, except that the codon GTG was found to initiated the CO I gene. Most of the genes ended with the complete stop codon TAA or TAG, while the COII, ND3, ND4, and Cytb genes terminated with the incomplete stop codons 'T--'.

Genome-wide uniparental disomy screen in human discarded morphologically abnormal embryos.

Project description:Uniparental disomy (UPD) has been shown to be rare in human normal blastocysts, but its frequency in discarded morphologically abnormal embryos and its relevance to embryonic self-correction of aneuploid remains unknown. The aim of this study was to detect UPD in discarded morphologically abnormal embryos. Both discarded morphologically abnormal embryos, including zero-pronuclear zygotes (0PN), one-pronuclear zygotes (1PN), three-pronuclear zygotes (3PN) and 2PN embryos scored as low development potential were cultured into blastocysts then underwent trophectoderm biopsy. Genome-wide UPD screening of the trophectoderm of 241 discarded morphologically abnormal embryo sourced blastocysts showed that UPD occurred in nine embryos. Five embryos exhibited UPDs with euploid chromosomes, and four displayed UPDs with chromosomal aneuploid. The percentage of UPDs among the morphologically abnormal sourced blastocysts was 3.73%, which is significant higher than the percentage observed in normal blastocysts. The frequency of UPD in 3PN-sourced blastocysts was 7.69%, which is significantly higher than that in normal blastocysts. This study provides the first systematic genome-wide profile of UPD in discarded morphologically abnormal embryos. Our results indicated that UPD may be a common phenomenon in discarded morphologically abnormal embryos and may be relevant to human embryonic self-correction.

The Grass Carp Genomic Visualization Database (GCGVD): an informational platform for genome biology of grass carp.

Project description:With the release of the draft genome of the grass carp, researches on the grass carp from the genetic level and the further molecular mechanisms of economically valuable physiological behaviors have gained great attention. In this paper, we integrated a large number of genomic, genetic and some other data resources and established a web-based grass carp genomic visualization database (GCGVD). To view these data more effectively, we visualized grass carp and zebrafish gene collinearity and genetic linkage map using Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format in the browser, and genomic annotations by JBrowse. Furthermore, we carried out some preliminary study on a whole-genome alternative splicing (AS)of the grass carp. The RNA-seq reads of 15 samples were aligned to the reference genome of the grass carp by Bowtie2 software. RNA-seq reads of each sample and density map of reads were also exhibited in JBrowse. Additionally, we designed a universal grass carp genome annotation data model to improve the retrieval speed and scalability. Compared with the published database GCGD previously, we newly added the visualization of some more genomic annotations, conserved domain and RNA-seq reads aligned to the reference genome. GCGVD can be accessed at http://122.112.216.104.

Clinical features of three girls with mosaic genome-wide paternal uniparental isodisomy.

Project description:Here we describe three subjects with mosaic genome-wide paternal uniparental isodisomy (GWpUPD) each of whom presented initially with overgrowth, hemihyperplasia (HH), and hyperinsulinism (HI). Due to the severity of findings and the presence of additional features, SNP array testing was performed, which demonstrated mosaic GWpUPD. Comparing these individuals to 10 other live-born subjects reported in the literature, the predominant phenotype is that of pUPD11 and notable for a very high incidence of tumor development. Our subjects developed non-metastatic tumors of the adrenal gland, kidney, and/or liver. All three subjects had pancreatic hyperplasia resulting in HI. Notably, our subjects to date display minimal features of other diseases associated with paternal UPD loci. Both children who survived the neonatal period have displayed near-normal cognitive development, likely due to a favorable tissue distribution of the mosaicism. To understand the range of UPD mosaicism levels, we studied multiple tissues using SNP array analysis and detected levels of 5-95%, roughly correlating with the extent of tissue involvement. Given the rapidity of tumor growth and the difficulty distinguishing malignant and benign tumors in these GWpUPD subjects, we have utilized increased frequency of ultrasound (US) and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) screening in the first years of life. Because of a later age of onset of additional tumors, continued tumor surveillance into adolescence may need to be considered in these rare patients.

Step-wise elimination of α-mitochondrial nucleoids and mitochondrial structure as a basis for the strict uniparental inheritance in Cryptococcus neoformans.

Project description:In most sexual eukaryotes, mitochondrial (mt) DNA is uniparentally inherited, although the detailed mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain controversial. The most widely accepted explanations include the autophagic elimination of paternal mitochondria in the fertilized eggs and the active degradation of paternal mitochondrial DNA. To decode the precise program for the uniparental inheritance, we focused on Cryptococcus neoformans as a model system, in which mtDNA is inherited only from the a-parent, although gametes of a- and α-cells are of equal size and contribute equal amounts of mtDNA to the zygote. In this research, the process of preferential elimination of the mitochondria contributed by the α-parent (α-mitochondria) was studied by fluorescence microscopy and single cell analysis using optical tweezers, which revealed that α-mitochondria are preferentially reduced by the following three steps: (1) preferential reduction of α-mitochondrial (mt) nucleoids and α-mtDNA, (2) degradation of the α-mitochondrial structure and (3) proliferation of remaining mt nucleoids during the zygote development. Furthermore, AUTOPHAGY RELATED GENE (ATG) 8 and the gene encoding mitochondrial endonuclease G (NUC1) were disrupted, and the effects of their disruption on the uniparental inheritance were scrutinized. Disruption of ATG8 (ATG7) and NUC1 did not have severe effects on the uniparental inheritance, but microscopic examination revealed that α-mitochondria lacking mt nucleoids persisted in Δatg8 zygotes, indicating that autophagy is not critical for the uniparental inheritance per se but is responsible for the clearance of mitochondrial structures after the reduction of α-mt nucleoids.

Assessment of tissue-specific accumulation, elimination and toxic effects of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes (DDTs) in carp through aquatic food web.

Project description:Microcosms containing DDT spiked-sediment, Tubifex tubifex and carp (Cyprinus carpio) were constructed to simulate a freshwater system. The accumulation, elimination and toxic effects of DDT (p,p'-DDT, o,p'-DDT), and its metabolites DDD (p,p'-DDD, o,p'-DDD) and DDE (p,p'-DDE, o,p'-DDE) were studied in T. tubifex and carp. Tissue/organ distributions of DDTs were also investigated in carp. The bioaccumulation and elimination of DDT differed in T. tubifex, carp and its tissues/organs. Unimodal or bimodal distributions were observed, and the concentrations of DDT metabolites (DDD and p,p'-DDE) increased over time. The carp organ with the highest concentrations of DDTs (DDT, DDD and DDE) was the gill. The largest mass distribution of DDTs was also in gill, followed by muscle and gastrointestinal tract. Maximum levels of DDTs in whole carp and carp muscle were 161 and 87 ng/g, respectively; therefore, the levels of DDTs observed in carp in this study were insufficient to constitute a health concern if present in fish for human consumption. Significant changes were observed in some biomarkers, including superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione-S-transferase, glutathione, and carboxylesterase, in T. tubifex and carp tissues during DDT exposure. Tissue-specific accumulation of DDTs in carp can be a key indicator of exposure to environmentally relevant concentrations.
