Functional Human Genes Typically Exhibit Epigenetic Conservation

ABSTRACT: Recent DepMap CRISPR-Cas9 single gene disruptions have identified genes more essential to proliferation in tissue culture. It would be valuable to translate these finding with measurements more practical for human tissues. Here we show that DepMap essential genes and other literature curated functional genes exhibit cell-specific preferential epigenetic conservation when DNA methylation measurements are compared between replicate cell lines and between intestinal crypts from the same individual. Culture experiments indicate that epigenetic drift accumulates through time with smaller differences in more functional genes. In NCI-60 cell lines, greater targeted gene conservation correlated with greater drug sensitivity. These studies indicate that two measurements separated in time allow normal or neoplastic cells to signal through conservation which human genes are more essential to their survival in vitro or in vivo.

Selective Regulation of Tuft Cell-Like Small Cell Lung Cancer by Novel Transcriptional Co-activators C11orf53 and COLCA2

Project description:The DepMap project has generated a huge resource for investigating selectively essential genes, which represent potential cancer therapeutic targets. However, manually sorting out which of the hundreds of selectively essential genes is understudied and warrants investigations is time-consuming and probably not practical. To efficiently identify uncharacterized, selectively essential genes, we collected and ranked the 347 selectively essential genes from the DepMap dataset by their PubMed publication counts, based on the assumption that genes with low publication counts are un-studied or under-studied. We successfully validated two of the top candidates in our ranking system, C11orf53 and COLCA2, as new vulnerabilities that are selectively essential in the class II POU domain transcription factor POU2F3-dependent tuft cell-like small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cell lines. Importantly, we found that the sequence motif, which mediates physical interactions of the transcriptional co-activator POU2AF1 with two of the class II POU domain-containing family of transcription factors (POU2F1 and POU2F2), is also present in the N-terminal regions of C11orf53 and COLCA2. We further confirmed that 1) COLCA2 physically interacts with POU2F3 through this conserved sequence motif; 2) this interaction is important for COLCA2 to regulate tuft cell-like SCLC cell growth, and 3) both C11orf53 and COLCA2 contain transcriptional co-activator domains. Consistently, we find similar transcriptomic changes in response to the loss of COLCA2 or POU2F3 in SCLC cells. In summary, our analysis pipeline enables identification and prioritization of understudied but important, selectively essential genes, leading to the identification of two new transcriptional co-activators for the class II POU domain transcription factors. Disruption of this important physical interaction is predicted to be a potential therapeutic strategy to selectively inhibit tuft cell-like SCLCs.

Evaluation of the role of functional constraints on the integrity of an ultra conserved region in the genus Drosophila

Project description:Our results indicate that even in highly rearranged genomes like those of Diptera, unusually high levels of gene order conservation cannot be systematically attributed to functional constraints, which points to mechanisms more subtle and diverse than previously thought.

Differences in the abundance of auxin homeostasis proteins suggest a central role for in vitro tissue differentiation in Coffea arabica

Project description:Coffea arabica is one of the most important crops worldwide. In vitro culture is an alternative for achieving Coffea regeneration, propagation, conservation, genetic improvement, and genome editing. The aim of this work is to identify proteins involved in auxin homeostasis by isobaric tandem mass tag (TMT) and the synchronous precursor selection (SPS)-based MS3 technology on the Orbitrap Fusion™ Tribrid mass spectrometer™ in three types of biological material corre-sponding to C. arabica: plantlet leaves, calli, and suspension culture. Proteins included in the β-oxidation of indole butyric acid, and in the signaling, transport, and conjugation of in-dole-3-acetic acid were identified, such as the indole butyric response (IBR), the auxin binding protein (ABP), the ATP-binding cassette transporters (ABC), the Gretchen-Hagen 3 proteins (GH3), and the indole-3-acetic-leucine resistant proteins (ILR). A more significant accumulation of pro-teins involved in auxin homeostasis was found in the suspension cultures vs the plantlet com-parison, followed by callus vs plantlet and suspension culture vs callus, suggesting greater par-ticipation of these proteins as cell differentiation increases.

Validation of Baboon Pluripotent Cells as a Model for Translational Stem Cell Research [MeDIP]

Project description:To investigate the extent of similarity in epigenetic programming among human, baboon and mouse PSCs, we examined genome-wide patterns of four chromatin modifications (H3K4me3, H3K9me3, H3K27me3, H3K27ac) and DNA methylation in baboon iPSC and ESCs. We show that baboon pluripotent cells (PSCs) recapitulate key molecular features of human PSCs with much greater accuracy than that found in PSCs from non-primate species. Specifically, baboon and human PSCs exhibit significantly greater conservation of gene expression patterns, higher sequence and structural homology among pluripotency factors, more equivalent genome-wide patterns of histone and DNA methylation modifications, and similar maintenance of bivalent programming of developmental genes than that found between human and non-primate PSCs.

Inducer Free Cellulase Secretion in Neurospora Crassa and comparitive analysis of cellulase induction in Aspergillus nidulans

Project description:Purpose: To explore conservation of gene regulation by the transcription factor clr-2/clrB in Neurospora crassa and Aspergillus nidulans Methods: mRNA from wild type and clr-2/clrB mutants were collected after a culture shift from sucrose/glucose to Avicel (crystaline cellulose) or no carbon media Results: We show that N. crassa and A. nidulans have similair global transcriptional responses to Avicel, with several hundred genes showing specific induction, though the induced genes are more specifically targeted at cellulose for N. crassa and more targeted at hemicellulose and pectin for A. nidulans. clr-2/clrB has a conserved fundamental function in cellulose induction, though the mechanism has diverged. Misexpression of clr-2 is sufficeint for inducer free cellulase secretion in N. crassa, but neither clrB or heterologous clr-2 is sufficient for inducer free cellulase secretion in A. nidulans. Conclusions: Our study demonstrates a conserved and essential role in cellulose utilization for the transcription factor clr-2 in filamentous ascomycetes and demonstrates that manipulation of clr-2 expression can be used to control cellulase expression in some species. Biological triplicates of liquid culture N. crassa and A. nidulans were harvested at 4 hours and 6 hours, respectively, after a switch to media of interest. Global mRNA abundances from liquid cultures of N. crassa and A. nidulans were measured by sequencing on the Illumina Genome Analyzer IIx and HiSeq2000 platforms.

DNA methylation in the placentas of typically developing and autistic children

Project description:Epigenetic perturbations in the early embryo could have later effects during development. For a disease such as autism, where a diagnosis is hard before two years of age but earlier intervention is correlated with better outcomes, finding a molecular signature of the disease at birth could have a significant impact of the quality of life. Since placenta also derives from the early embryo, is a readily-available tissue at birth, and has a unique DNA methylation pattern, we tested whether disruptions in placental DNA methylation was predictive of autism. As part of the MARBLES study, parents that already had an autistic child and were therefore at much greater risk to have another autistic child were followed as they planned another pregnancy. Biological samples were collected at birth and the children followed for several years to determine the diagnosis. “Typical” children in this study were those that did not later develop autism.
