Project description:Using a transcription start site-capturing massively parallel reporter assay (TSS-MPRA) that simultaneously measures the location and frequency of transcription initiation from synthetic sequences, we carefully characterize the degree to which plasmid-based MPRAs recapitulate endogenous initiation patterns.

Project description:Background: Transposable elements (TEs) represent a substantial fraction of the genomes, playing a major role in evolution, as sources of genetic variability. To fully appraise the role of TE in the acquisition of genetic novelty in genome evolution, we must also consider the impact of their own transcriptional activity. Results: We studied impact of TE transcriptional activity on gene using high-throughput RNA-Seq sequencing in Drosophila melanogaster. TEs, which turn out to be expressed in euchromatin as well as in heterochromatin, interact with genes at different levels. The observed transcription from TEs involve canonical or non-canonical transcription start sites (TSSs) distributed along their sequence. We also find evidences for potential bidirectional transcription from the TE promoter regions where the antisense transcript is co-opted by the host genome as TSSs of a gene. We found that active TEs seem to accumulate in the 5' upstream regions of the genes, and possibly provide an alternative transcript of the nearby gene. Indeed, predominantly, the TE transcript is collinear and overlapping the gene. Apart from the 5' upstream regions, we also found that most active TEs are transcribed on the gene transcript strand. Conversely, few transcripts from TE are anti sense with respect to the gene. This suggests that they have a disruptive action and are counter-selected. The only exceptions are for TEs located into introns, where they could provide another complex way of gene regulation, and in the 3' downstream region, where other mechanisms akin to siRNAs could take place. Finally, we noted several cases where the cryptic TSS is located on TE fragments corresponding to a low complexity sequence. Frequently these TE fragments appear to be over-represented when close to genes, suggesting a possible selected role. Conclusion: Altogether, these results suggest that active transposable elements influence host gene transcription. It is likely that some features of transposable elements have been exaptated in order to enrich the genes repertoire by opening routes to sub- or neo-functionalization.

Project description:Cryptococcus neoformans is a life-threatening basidiomycete fungal pathogen responsible for meningoencephalitis in immunocompromised patients. This yeast can adapt to diverse habitats, efficiently produces virulence factors, and escapes immune surveillance. This implies intricate mechanisms underlying its gene regulation networks, which are yet to be comprehensively understood. Alternative transcription usage regulation has been identified as the major mean for gene expression regulation in metazoans. However, in fungi, its impact remains elusive as its study has thus far been restricted to model yeasts. We here re-analysed transcription start site (TSS)-seq data to define genuine TSS clusters in two species of pathogenic Cryptococcus. We identified two types of TSS clusters associated with specific DNA sequence motifs. Our analysis also revealed that alternative TSS usage regulation in response to environmental cues is widespread in Cryptococcus, altering gene expression and protein targeting. Importantly, we performed a forward genetic screen to identify a unique transcription factor (TF) named Tur1, which regulates aTSS usage genome-wide when cells switch from exponential phase to stationary phase. Tur1 has been previously shown to be essential for virulence in C. neoformans. Accordingly, we demonstrated here that a tur1Δ mutant strain is more sensitive to superoxide stress and phagocytosed more efficiently by macrophages than the Wild-type (WT) strain.

Project description:Alternative mRNA isoforms and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA) make up a large fraction of the transcriptome and play key functions in cell-fate programming. These transcripts often initiate upstream of coding gene promoters from alternative transcription start sites (TSS) where they can regulate gene expression in cis through transcription-coupled chromatin alterations. How, when and where transcription of alternative cis-acting RNAs regulates local gene expression remains poorly understood. Here, we use a high-resolution quantitative approach to study alternative TSS and transcript end site (TES) usage during three different cell fate transitions in yeast: entry into gametogenesis, commitment to meiotic divisions and return to vegetative growth. We propose that an alternative transcriptome of mRNA isoforms and lncRNAs shapes local gene expression during cell fate transitions. Hence, changes in the types and proportions of different RNAs transcribed at a locus are important inputs for gene expression at distinct stages of development.

Project description:There is no consensus about the best bowel preparation prior to transanal endoscopic surgery TES). Cleanliness and visibility in the rectosigmoid and rectum are of utmost importance, possibly even more so than during colonoscopy, to facilitate safe, precise and efficient resection of the rectal lesion and potentially adequate closure of the defect. Both Fleet enemas and oral mechanical bowel preparation are considered standard of care in preparation for TES. This single center two arm single blinded randomized controlled trial will compare the effectiveness of Fleet enemas in comparison to Pico Salax oral mechanical bowel preparation in cleansing the rectum as measured by a modified version of the Ottawa Bowel Prep Scale.
