Control of maize vegetative and reproductive development, fertility and rRNAs silencing by HISTONE DEACETYLASE 108 [PMeA and MiA]

ABSTRACT: Histone deacetylases (HDACs) catalyze the removal of acetyl groups from acetylated histone tails that consequently interact more closely with DNA, leading to chromatin state refractory to transcription. Zea mays HDA108 belongs to the Rpd3/HDA1 HDAC family and is ubiquitously expressed during development. The newly isolated hda108/hda108 insertional mutant exhibited many developmental defects: significant reduction in plant height, alterations of shoot and leaf development, alterations of inflorescence patterning and fertility. Western blot analyses and immunolocalization experiments revealed an evident increase in histone acetylation, accompanied by a marked reduction in H3K9 dimethylation, in mutant nuclei. The DNA methylation status, in the CHG sequence context, and the transcript level of ribosomal sequences were also affected in hda108 mutants, while enrichment in H3 and H4 acetylation characterizes both repetitive and non-repetitive transcriptional up-regulated loci. RNA-Seq both of young leaf and anthers indicated that transcription factor expression is highly affected and that the pollen developmental programme results as disrupted in hda108 mutants. Crosses between hda108/hda108 and epiregulator mutants did not produce any double mutant progeny indicating possible genetic interactions of HDA108 with distinct epigenetic pathways. Our findings indicate that HDA108 is directly involved in regulation of maize development, fertility and epigenetic regulation of genome activity.

Small RNA-mediated transgenerational silencing of histone genes impairs fertility in piRNA mutants

Project description:PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) promote fertility in many animals. Yet, whether this is due to their conserved role in repressing repetitive elements (REs) or other functions remains unclear. Here, we show that the progressive loss of fertility in Caenorhabditis elegans lacking piRNAs is not caused by derepression of REs or other piRNA targets, but rather mediated by the epigenetic silencing of all the replicative histone genes. In the absence of piRNAs, downstream components of the piRNA pathway relocalize from germ granules and piRNA targets to histone mRNAs to synthesize antisense small RNAs (sRNAs) and induce transgenerational silencing. Removal of the downstream components of the piRNA pathway is sufficient to restore histone mRNA expression and fertility in piRNA mutants, and the inheritance of histone sRNAs in wild-type worms adversely affects their fertility for multiple generations. We conclude that the transgenerational silencing of histone genes contributes to the progressive loss of fertility in piRNA mutants and that coupling piRNAs and histone silencing may serve to maintain piRNAs production across evolution.

mRNA profiling of glucose-repressed 14-3-3 and hdac yeast mutants

Project description:Previous results suggest that Bmh might inhibit the activity of the transcription factor Adr1 after binding to Adr1-dependent promoters. In a strain lacking the two major histone deacetylases, Hda1 and Rpd3 (hdac?), Adr1 is bound to its target promoters recruiting what appears to be an inactive RNA ploymerase II preinitiation complex (PIC). To determine whether Bmh activity inhibits this inactive PIC and the generality of this effect on glucose-repressed gene expression, the mRNA profiles of wild type, bmh mutant, hdac mutant, and bmh hdac mutant cells grown in high glucose medium were compared. Total RNAs were purified from triplicate cultures of W303-1A (wild type), YLL1087 (bmh1-ts bmh2?), CTY-TY44 (hda1? rpd3?) and KBY3 (bmh1-ts bmh2? hda1? rpd3?) cells exponentially growing in YP broth containing 5% glucose and then profiled using Affymetrix Yeast 2.0 arrays.

Gcn5-mediated histone acetylation governs nucleosome dynamics in spermiogenesis [ATAC-seq]

Project description:During mammalian spermatogenesis, male germ cells undergo dramatic reorganization of chromatin, whereby 90-99% of histones are evicted and replaced by protamines. This reorganization prominently features histone acetylation to loosen chromatin structure. Given the potential role of retained histones in fertility and early embryonic development, the genomic location of retained nucleosomes is of great interest. However, the ultimate position and mechanisms underlying nucleosome eviction/retention are poorly understood, including several studies utilizing MNase-seq methodologies, but reporting remarkably dissimilar locations. Here, we utilized ATAC-seq to determine the location of retained nucleosomes in mouse sperm and found enrichment at promoters, but also retention at inter- and intragenic regions, and repetitive elements. We further investigated nucleosome eviction/retention by generating pre-meiotic, germ cell specific, conditional knockout mice for the histone acetyltransferase Gcn5, a key histone acetyltransferase. Gcn5cKO germ cells exhibited abnormal chromatin dynamics during spermiogenesis, including diminished nucleosome eviction leading to increased histone retention in sperm. These mice exhibited severe reproductive phenotypes: abnormal sperm production, sperm morphology, and ultimately, male infertility. Our findings demonstrate Gcn5 mediated histone acetylation promotes chromatin accessibility and nucleosome eviction in spermiogenesis, and that loss of histone acetylation leads to defects that disrupt male fertility and potentially, early embryogenesis.
