WAPL functions as a rheostat of Protocadherin isoform diversity that controls neural wiring

ABSTRACT: Neural-type specific expression of clustered Protocadherin (Pcdh) proteins is essential for the establishment of connectivity patterns during brain development. In mammals, deterministic expression of the same Pcdh isoform promotes minimal overlap of tiled projections of serotonergic neuron axons throughout the brain, while stochastic expression of Pcdh genes allows for convergence of tightly packed overlapping olfactory sensory neuron axons into targeted structures. How can the same gene locus generate opposite transcriptional programs that orchestrate distinct spatial arrangements of axonal patterns? Here, we reveal that cell-type specific Pcdh expression and axonal behavior rest on the activity of cohesin and its unloader WAPL. While cohesin erases genomic-distance biases in Pcdh choice, WAPL functions as a rheostat of cohesin processivity that determines Pcdh isoform diversity.

Mechanism of REST/NRSF Regulation of Clustered Protocadherin Alpha Genes

Project description:Repressor element-1 silencing transcription factor (REST) or neuron-restrictive silencer factor (NRSF) is a zinc-finger (ZF) containing transcriptional repressor that recognizes thousands of neuron-restrictive silencer elements (NRSEs) in mammalian genomes. How REST/NRSF regulates gene expression remains incompletely understood. Here, we investigate the binding pattern and regulation mechanism of REST/NRSF in the clustered protocadherin (PCDH) genes. We find that REST/NRSF directionally forms base-specific interactions with NRSEs via tandem ZFs in an anti-parallel manner but with striking conformational changes. In addition, REST/NRSF recruitment to the HS5-1 enhancer leads to the decrease of long-range enhancer-promoter interactions and downregulation of the clustered PCDH alpha genes. Thus, REST/NRSF represses PCDH alpha gene expression through directional binding to a repertoire of NRSEs within the distal enhancer and variable target genes.

Global transcriptome analysis reveals differences between embryonic and adult dorsal root ganglion axonal mRNAs that are implicated in axonal growth and pain

Project description:Local protein synthesis in sensory neuron axons is necessary for axonal regeneration with the efficiency of regeneration decreasing with age. Because the full repertoire of transcripts in embryonic and adult rat sensory axons is unknown we asked how the pool of mRNAs dynamically changes during ageing. We isolated mRNA from pure axons and growth cones devoid of non-neuronal or cell body contamination. Genome-wide microarray analysis reveals that a previously unappreciated number of transcripts are localised in sensory axons and that this repertoire changes during development toward adulthood. Embryonic sensory axons are enriched in transcripts encoding cytoskeletal-related proteins with a role in axonal outgrowth. Surprisingly, adult axons are highly enriched in mRNAs encoding immune molecules with a role in nociception. To validate our experimental approach we show that Tubulin-beta3 mRNA is present only in embryonic axons where it is locally synthesised. In summary, we show that the population of axonal mRNAs dynamically changes during development, which may partly contribute to the intrinsic capacity of axons at different ages to regenerate after injury and to modulate pain. Pure axonal RNA were extracted from the axons of embryonic and adult dorsal root ganglion neurons, each with 5 biological replicates. The axonal transcriptomes were analysed using Affymetrix Rat Genome 230 2.0 Arrays.

Cohesin trajectories shape the epigenetic and transcriptional landscape of clustered Protocadherin genes for single neuron identities

Project description:Cellular individuality is often achieved by stochastic expression of single genes within tandemly-arrayed gene families. This principle is epitomized by the stochastic choice of clustered Protocadherin (Pcdh) genes which generates the extraordinary cell-surface diversity required for neural circuit assembly during development. However, the molecular mechanisms by which this diversity arises are not fully understood. Here, we show that stochastic Pcdh gene choice requires “escape” from silent heterochromatin by a distal transcriptional enhancer. These enhancer/promoter encounters, that lead to promoter derepression, are catalyzed by cohesin, whose processivity, density and stalling at boundaries define the probability of choice of Pcdh genes by determining the probability of enhancer/promoter contacts in mouse olfactory sensory and cortical neurons. We propose that coupling between an epigenetic switch and the modularity of cohesin trajectories allows for different Pcdh profiles to arise across neuronal cell-types, underlying the diversities of their morphologies and functions in the nervous system. More broadly these principles add a layer of regulatory finesse for the generation of transcription diversity from genes arranged in clusters.

Axonal mRNA in human embryonic stem cell derived neurons

Project description:The identification of axonal mRNAs in model organisms has led to the discovery of many axonally translated proteins required for axon guidance and injury response. The extent to which these axonal mRNAs are conserved in humans is unknown. Here we report on the axonal transcriptome of glutamatergic neurons derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESC-neurons) grown in axon isolating microfluidic chambers. We identified mRNAs enriched in axons, representing a functionally unique local transcriptome as compared to the whole neuron transcriptome. Further, we found that the enriched functional categories within high confidence axonal transcripts resemble those in the axonal transcriptome of rat cortical neurons. Comparing our list of human axonal transcripts to similar datasets generated from embryonic and adult rat dorsal root ganglia and rat cortical neurons we found 60 mRNAs common to all four neuron types. We found that over half of these genes are associated with neurological phenotypes or diseases in model organisms and human. This data provides an important resource for studying local mRNA translation in human axons and has the potential to reveal both conserved and unique axonal mechanisms across species and neuronal types. We analyzed the axonal and whole hESC-neuron transcriptome in triplicate using the Affymetrix Human Gene 2.0 ST Array platform.

Wapl controls higher-order chromatin structure in interphase chromosomes (gene expression)

Project description:Mammalian genomes contain several billion base pairs of DNA which are packaged in chromatin fibers. At selected gene loci, cohesin complexes have been proposed to arrange chromatin fibers into higher-order structures, but it is poorly understood how cohesin performs this task, how important this function is for determining the structure of chromosomes, and how this process is regulated to allow changes in gene expression. Here we show that the cohesin release factor Wapl controls chromatin structure and gene regulation at numerous loci throughout the mouse genome. Conditional deletion of the Wapl gene leads to stable accumulation of cohesin on chromatin, chromatin compaction, altered gene expression, cell cycle delay, chromosome segregation defects and embryonic lethality. In Wapl deficient chromosomes, cohesin accumulates in an axial domain, similar to how condensins form a M-bM-^@M-^\scaffoldM-bM-^@M-^] in mitotic chromosomes. We propose that Wapl controls chromatin structure and gene regulation by determining the residence time with which cohesin binds to DNA. 4 biological replicates for each genotype (Wapl +/F; Wapl -/F) treated with/without 4-OHT =16 samples

The control sample is a single-replicate INPUT for each genotype.

Axonal ER tubules control local translation via P180/RRBP1-mediated ribosome interactions

Project description:Local mRNA translation in axons is critical for the spatial and temporal regulation of the axonal proteome. A wide variety of mRNAs are localized and translated in axons, however how protein synthesis is regulated at specific subcellular sites in axons remains unclear. Here, we establish that the axonal endoplasmic reticulum (ER) supports axonal translation in developing neurons. Axonal ER tubule disruption impairs local translation and ribosome distribution. Using nanoscale resolution imaging, we find that ribosomes make frequent contacts with axonal ER tubules in a translation-dependent manner and are influenced by specific extrinsic cues. We identify P180/RRBP1 as an axonally distributed ribosome receptor that regulates local translation and binds to mRNAs enriched for axonal membrane proteins. Importantly, the impairment of axonal ER – ribosome interactions causes defects in axon morphology. Our results establish an important role for the axonal ER in dynamically localizing mRNA translation which is important for proper neuron development.

Budding yeast Wapl controls sister chromatid cohesion maintenance and the chromosome condensation status [expression]

Project description:Cohesin acetylation by Eco1 during DNA replication establishes sister chromatid cohesion. We show that acetylation makes cohesin resistant to Wapl activity from S-phase until mitosis. Wapl turns out to be a key regulator of cohesin dynamics on chromosomes by controling cohesin maintenance following its establishment in S-phase and its role in chromosome condensation. The Affymetrix Yeast Genome 2.0 Arrays were used to analyze the expression profile of wt and waplM-bM-^HM-^F cells.

Axonal TDP-43 Drives NMJ Disruption through Inhibition of Local Protein Synthesis

Project description:Mislocalization of the predominantly nuclear RNA/DNA binding protein, TDP-43, occurs in motor neurons of ~95% of ALS patients, but the contribution of axonal TDP-43 to this fatal neurodegenerative disease is unclear. Here, we find TDP-43 accumulation in the axons of intra-muscular nerves from ALS patients, and in motor neurons and neuromuscular junctions(NMJs) of a mouse model with TDP-43 mislocalization. This leads to the formation of G3BP1- and TDP-43-positive RNA-granules in motor neuron axons, and to inhibition of local protein synthesis in axons and NMJs. Specifically, the axonal and synaptic levels of nuclear-encoded mitochondria proteins are reduced. Clearance of axonal TDP-43 restored local translation of the nuclear-encoded mitochondrial proteins and rescued TDP-43-derived axonal and NMJ toxicity. These findings suggest that targeting TDP-43 axonal gain of function may mediata therapeutic effect in ALS.
