Diversification of posterior Hox patterning by graded ability to engage inaccessible chromatin [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: While Hox genes encode for similar transcription factors (TFs), they induce different fates across body axes. We sought to understand how Hox TF genomic binding preferences relate to their patterning activities during neuronal differentiation. To generate the required neuronal diversity for locomotor activity, Hox TFs specify spinal motor neuron and interneuron subtypes along the rostro-caudal axis. Our data revelated that Hoxc6 and Hoxc8 of the central group induce limb-innervating fates by binding to the same sites. On the other hand, the posterior group Hox genes assign different positional identities: Hoxc9 (thoracic), Hoxc10 (limb-innervating) and Hox13 (axial elongation termination) by binding to distinct sites with the same primary motif. We find that their genomic binding distributions are explained by differential abilities to bind to previously inaccessible chromatin. Thus, the vertebrate posterior Hox expansion and its associated patterning diversification is the product of their differential abilities to associate with less accessible chromatin.

Genome-wide binding of posterior HOXA/D transcription factors reveals subgrouping and association with CTCF [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:The homeotic genes (Hox genes) encode transcription factors (HOX-TFs) that are key regulators of animal development. Single and compound deletion of Hox genes in mice revealed that they act in a partially redundant manner to pattern the vertebrate limb. Biochemical screens probing the sequence specificity of the DNA-binding domains showed that HOX-TFs recognize largely similar DNA sequences, but also emphasized the important role of co-factors in HOX DNA-binding. However, due to their high sequence homology and overlapping expression patterns, little is known about the genome-wide binding of these transcription factors Here, we set out to systematically compare the effects of the nine limb-bud expressed HOX-TFs on cell differentiation and gene regulation, and compare their genome-wide binding characteristics. We find that HOX-TFs induce distinct regulatory programs in transduced cells. Through genome-wide DNA binding profiling we find that the posterior HOX-TFs can be separated into two groups with distinct binding motifs and association with co-factors. Through this unexpected grouping, we characterize the CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) as a novel co-factor of HOX-TFs and show that one, but not the other group of HOX-TFs binds to thousands of CTCF-occupied sites in the chicken genome.

Transcriptional trajectories highlight the transition from anterior-posterior to proximal-distal patterning in the early limb bud [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Limb patterning relies in a large part on the function of the Hox family of developmental genes. While the differential expression of Hox genes shifts from the anterior-posterior (A-P) to the proximal-distal (P-D) axis around embryonic day 11 (E11), whether this shift coincides with a more global change of P-D versus A-P patterning program remains unclear. By performing and analyzing the transcriptome of the developing limb bud from E10.5 to E12.5, at single cell resolution, we have uncovered transcriptional trajectories which revealed a general switch from A-P to P-D genetic program between E10.5 and E11.5. Interestingly, the transcriptional trajectories at E10.5 all end with cells expressing either proximal or distal markers suggesting a progressive acquisition of P-D identity. Moreover, we observed that distally expressed Hox genes, namely Hoxa13 and Hoxd13, act as a key determinant for P-D patterning as their transcriptional control results in their distal restricted expression, which in turn restricts Hoxa11 in the proximal limb bud domain, in progenitor cells of the zeugopod. Finally, we identified three categories of genes expressed in the distal limb mesenchyme characterized by distinct temporal expression dynamics. As anticipated from previous results, HOX13 binding was observed within or in the neighborhood of several of these genes consistent with previous evidence suggesting that the transition from the early/proximal to the late/distal transcriptome of the limb mesenchyme largely relies on HOX13 function.

Transcription profiling by array of wild type and Pcsk5 Vcc mutant mouse embryos

Project description:We have identified an ENU-induced recessive mouse mutation (Vcc) with a pleiotropic phenotype overlapping including cardiac, tracheo-esophageal, anorectal, axial skeletal antero-posterior patterning defects, limb malformations, presacral mass, renal and palatal agenesis, and pulmonary hypoplasia. It results from a C470R mutation in the proprotein convertase PCSK5 (PC5/6, SPC6) that fails to complement a null allele, which also has a similar phenotype. The mutation ablates a predicted disulfide bond in the P domain, and results in reduced secretion, abnormal cellular localisation, and loss of proprotein convertase activity. We analysed whole genome gene expression in a mouse line carrying ENU-generated point mutation in Pcsk5 gene on a mixed background : 25% C57BL6/J on C3H/HeH (mutation originally introduced into C57BL6/J). We show that GDF11, a regulator of Hox expression, anteroposterior patterning and nephrogenesis, is a PCSK5 target, and that Pcsk5 mutation results in abnormal expression of several paralogous caudal Hox genes (Hoxa, Hoxc, Hoxd), and Mnx1 (Hlxb9) that are necessary for caudal embryo development. Our data establishes novel and pleiotropic functions for Pcsk5 in mammalian development and the coordinated expression of caudal Hox genes; and identifies GDF11 as a novel cleavage target for PCSK5. We propose that Pcsk5, at least in part via GDF11, coordinately regulates the expression of caudal Hox paralogs, to control antero-posterior patterning, nephrogenesis, and skeletal and anorectal development.
