Project description:The goal of this study was to compare the qualitative and quantitative differences in the presence of DNA:RNA hybrids (R-loops) between human wild type and PrimPol knockout human iPS cell lines. Our initial genetic experiments on a reporter locus have showed a link between the formation of R-loop and non-B DNA motifs; we have therefore analysed the correlation between R-loop abundance and of sequences computationaly predicted to form triplex-DNA or G-quadruplex forming sequences, and whether this changes between the two cell lines.

Project description:RNA can directly bind to purine-rich DNA via Hoogsteen base pairing, forming a DNA:RNA triple helical structure that anchors the RNA to specific sequences and allows guiding of transcription regulators to distinct genomic loci. To unravel the prevalence of DNA:RNA triplexes in living cells, we have established a fast and cost-effective method that allows genome-wide mapping of DNA:RNA triplex interactions. In contrast to previous approaches applied for the identification of chromatin-associated RNAs, this method uses protein-free nucleic acids isolated from chromatin. High-throughput sequencing and computational analysis of DNA-associated RNA revealed a large set of RNAs which originate from non-coding and coding loci, including repeat elements. Combined analysis of DNA-associated RNA and RNA-associated DNA identified genomic DNA:RNA triplex structures. The results suggest that triplex formation is a general mechanism of RNA-mediated target-site recognition, which has major impact on biological functions.

Project description:The G-quadruplex is an alternative DNA structural motif that is considered to be functionally important in the mammalian genome. Herein, we address the hypothesis that G-quadruplex structures can exist within double-stranded genomic DNA using a G-quadruplex-specific probe. An engineered antibody is employed to enrich for DNA containing G-quadruplex structures, followed by deep sequencing to detect and map G-quadruplexes at high resolution in genomic DNA from human breast adenocarcinoma cells. Our high sensitivity structure-based pull-down strategy enables the isolation of genomic DNA fragments bearing a single as well as multiple G-quadruplex structures. Stable G-quadruplex structures are found in sub-telomeres, gene bodies and gene regulatory regions. For a sample of identified target genes, we show that G-quadruplex stabilizing ligands can modulate transcription. These results confirm the existence of G-quadruplex structures and their persistence in human genomic DNA. Four independent libraries have been enriched in DNA G-quadruplex structures using a G-quadruplex-specific probe. One genomic input library was sequenced as control. Deep-sequencing of these libraries allowed the mapping of G-quadruplexes on the genome.

Project description:G-quadruplex structures (G4s) have been identified in genomes of multiple organisms and proven to play important epigenetic regulatory roles in various cellular functions. However, the G4 formation mechanism remains largely unknown. Here, we found a negative correlation between DNA 5mC methylation and G4 abundance. The abundance of genomic G4s significantly increased when the whole-genome methylation level was reduced in DNMT1-knockout cells. This increase was then suppressed by DNMT1 over-expression. And more G4s were detected in the hypomethylated cancer cell line HepG2 and rectal cancer tissues. Besides, 5mC modification significantly inhibited G4 formation of the potential G-quadruplex sequences (PQSs). The transcription of genes with 5mC modification sites in their promoter PQSs was affected after treatment with G4 stabilizer pyridostatin or methylation inhibitor 5-aza-dC. The global reduction of genomic methylation elevates gene transcription levels through increased G4s. Taken together, DNA 5mC methylation prevents PQSs from folding into G4s in genomes.
