Study of an allelic series using transcriptomic phenotypes

ABSTRACT: Expression profiling holds great promise for genetics because of its ability to measure thousands of genes quantitatively. Although transcriptomes have recently been used to perform epistasis analyses for pathway reconstruction, there has not been a systematic effort to understand how expression profiles will vary among distinct mutants of the same gene. Here, we study an allelic series in C. elegans consisting of one wild type and two mutant alleles of mdt-12, a highly pleiotropic gene whose gene product is a subunit of Mediator complex, which is essential for transcriptional regulation in eukaryotes. We developed a false hit analysis to identify which populations of genes commonly differentially expressed with respect to the wild type are likely the result of statistical artifact. We concluded that expression perturbations caused by these alleles split into four distinct modules called phenotypic classes. To understand the dominance relationship between the two mutant alleles, we developed a dominance analysis for transcriptional data. Dominance analysis of these phenotypic classes support a model where mdt-12 has multiple functional units that function independently to target the Mediator complex to specific genetic loci.

Proteomic interactome of C. elegans Mediator complex subunit 28 (MDT-28) reveals predominant association with a restricted set of core Mediator subunits and an affinity to additional structural and enzymatic proteins

Project description:Transcription factors exert their regulatory potential on RNA Polymerase II machinery through a multiprotein complex called Mediator complex or Mediator. The Mediator complex integrates regulatory signals from cell regulatory cascades with the regulation by transcription factors. The Mediator complex consists of 25 subunits in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and 30 or more subunits in multicellular eukaryotes. Mediator subunit 28 (MED28), along with MED30, MED23, MED25 and MED26 belong to presumably evolutionarily new subunits that seem to be absent in unicellular eukaryotes and are likely to have evolved together with multicellularity and cell differentiation. Previously, we have shown that an originally uncharacterized predicted gene F28F8.5 is the true MED28 orthologue in Caenorhabditis elegans (MDT-28) and showed that it is involved in a spectrum of developmental processes. Here, we studied the proteomic interactome of MDT-28 edited as GFP::MDT-28 using Crispr/Cas9 technology or MDT-28::GFP expressed from extrachromosomal arrays in transgenic C. elegans exploiting the GFP-TRAP system and mass spectrometry. The results show that MDT-28 associates with the Head module subunits MDT-6, MDT-8, MDT-11, MDT-17, MDT-20, MDT-22 and MDT-30 and the Middle module subunit MDT-14. The analyses also identified additional proteins as preferential MDT-28 interactants including chromatin organizing proteins, structural proteins and enzymes. The results provide evidence for MDT-28 engagement in the Mediator Head Module and support the possibility of physical (direct or indirect) interaction of MDT-28 with additional proteins, reflecting a transcription-regulating potential of primarily structural and enzymatic proteins at the level of the Mediator complex.

Genome wide expression analysis of Caenorhabditis elegans mdt-15(tm2182) null mutants (vs. WT N2 worms)

Project description:MDT-15/MED15 is a subunit of the Mediator complex and is known to regulate specific gene programs. We had previously profiled gene expression in C. elegans following mdt-15 depletion by RNAi. To complement this, we also performed gene expression profiling of the mdt-15(tm2182) hypomorhic mutant to identify MDT-15 regulated genes and developmental and/or physiological gene programs.

Microarray expression profiling of C. elegans N2 L4 control(RNAi) vs. mdt-15(RNAi)

Project description:We previously showed that the C. elegans Mediator subunit MDT-15 impacts expression of select genes involved in fatty acid (FA) metabolism (Taubert et al, Genes & Dev, 2006). To comprehensively identify processes downstream of MDT-15 in an unbiased manner, we set out to globally discover new MDT-15-dependent genes. Keywords: Expression profiling, RNAi depletion

Genomewide expression profiling of multibacillary leprosy lesions before and after multi-drug therapy (MDT)

Project description:[Aim] To characterize the transcriptomic changes in skin lesions of lepromatous leprosy patients before and after multidrug therapy (MDT). Likewise, not all patients improve their bacillary index after MDT. Thus, the further analysis aims to compare patients who responded or did not to MDT and identify underlying modulated genes. [Design] Lepromatous patients were treated for 12 months with multidrug therapy. Skin biopsy samples were collected before (BT) and after treatment (AT). At the end of 12 months of MDT, those who decreased their bacillary index by at least one log10 unit were considered responders (R) and otherwise non-responders (NR). RNA was isolated, poly-A captured, and sequenced. Comparisons both within-patient and between-patients were done. [Results] At the end of MDT, genes involved with lipid metabolism, innate and adaptive immunity, extracellular matrix, and epidermis development were all differentially expressed. Comparisons between responders and non-responders to MDT identified differentially expressed genes involved with lipid metabolism, semaphorin-plexin signaling pathway, epidermis development, and vasculogenesis. This study identified gene expression signatures modulated after 12 months of MDT. Also, a subset of patients with poor bacterial clearance has dysregulated pathways relative to responders.

Environmental interactions and epistasis are revealed in the proteomic responses to complex stimuli

Project description:Ultimately, the genotype of a cell and its interaction with the environment determine the cell’s biochemical state. While the cell’s response to a single stimulus has been studied extensively, a conceptual framework to model the effect of multiple environmental stimuli applied concurrently is not as well developed. In this study, we developed the concepts of environmental interactions and epistasis to explain the responses of the S. cerevisiae proteome to simultaneous environmental stimuli. We hypothesize that, as an abstraction, environmental stimuli can be treated as analogous to genetic elements. This would allow modeling of the effects of multiple stimuli using the concepts and tools developed for studying gene interactions. Mirroring gene interactions, our results show that environmental interactions play a critical role in determining the state of the proteome. We show that individual and complex environmental stimuli behave similarly to genetic elements in regulating the cellular responses to stimuli, including the phenomena of dominance and suppression. Interestingly, we observed that the effect of a stimulus on a protein is dominant over other stimuli if the response to the stimulus involves the protein. Using publicly available transcriptomic data, we find that environmental interactions and epistasis regulate transcriptomic responses as well.

Dominance hierarchy arising from the evolution of a complex small RNA regulatory network

Project description:Self-pollen rejection in the Brassicaceae is determined by the diploid genotype of the pollen-producing plant, and it has long been known that the alleles show a dominance hierarchy. How this hierarchy is controlled and evolves has been a classical puzzle since the pre-molecular days of genetics. Here, we uncover the system of at least 17 small RNA (sRNA) producing loci and their multiple target sites that collectively control the dominance hierarchy among alleles of a self-incompatible Arabidopsis species. Our results demonstrate that natural selection shapes a dynamic repertoire of sRNA/targets interactions by jointly acting on sRNA genes, their processing precision and their target sites. It is remarkable that a single gene can evolve such a complex system of regulation among its own alleles.

Gene and allele specific expression during electric organ ontogeny in African weakly electric fish and hybrid

Project description:Hybridization can act as a catalyst for rapid phenotypic evolution by introducing novel allelic combinations, which can affect hybrid phenotype through changes in gene expression. The African weakly electric fish use their muscle-derived electric organ to produce electric organ discharge (EOD) for electrocommunication and electrolocation. The EOD in genus Campylomormyrus and cross-species hybrids is usually species-specific and varies during ontogeny. We compared the gene expression patterns and allele specific expression between juvenile and adult individuals in C. compressirostris (EOD duration 0.4 ms in juvenile and 0.4 ms in adult), C. rhynchophorus (EOD duration 5 ms in juvenile and 40 ms in adult) and their hybrid (EOD duration 0.4 ms in juvenile and 4 ms in adult). Differentially expressed genes between juveniles and adults were highly enriched in “membrane”, “plasma membrane” and “cytoplasm” Go Ontogeny terms. We detected several potassium channel-related genes (e.g. KCNJ2, ADCYAP1) that are potentially involved in the EOD development during ontogeny. The alleles from C. compressirostris show dominant expression in the hybrid at juvenile and adult life stages. KCNJ2 is the only gene that exhibits allelic dominance of C. rhynchophorus allele, and has an increasing expression during ontogeny in this allele. This suggests that the EOD development in hybrids could be related to the increasing allelic expression of the C. rhynchophorus allele under the scenario of overall dominance of C. compressirostris alleles. Our study sheds light in the evolution of the electric organ discharge in electric fishes and on the role of introgressive hybridization in complex phenotypic traits.
