Large scale transposon co-option in the Caenorhabditis germline regulatory network [longCapSeq]

ABSTRACT: The movement of repetitive elements in the germline creates widespread genomic alterations and pressure for resolution. Here we show that the Caenorhabditis clade took advantage of two transposon expansions by integrating hundreds of elements into its germline transcriptional network. We find that about one-third of C. elegans germline-specific promoters have been co-opted from CERP2 and CELE2 MITE elements and are regulated by HIM-17, a THAP domain-containing transcription factor related to a transposase. An ancestral CERP2 expansion took place in the common Caenorhabditis ancestor, concurrently with mutations in HIM-17 fixed by positive selection, whereas CELE2 expanded only in C. elegans. Through comparative analyses in C. briggsae, we find conservation as well as species-specific CERP2 co-option. Our work reveals the emergence of a novel transcriptional network driven by TE co-option and its impact on regulatory evolution.

DREAM represses distinct targets by cooperating with different THAP domain proteins [RNA-seq]

Project description:The DREAM (DP, Retinoblastoma [Rb]-like, E2F, and MuvB) complex controls cellular quiescence by repressing cell cycle and other genes, but its mechanism of action is unclear. Here we demonstrate that two C. elegans THAP domain proteins, LIN-15B and LIN-36, co-localize with DREAM and function by different mechanisms for repression of distinct sets of targets. LIN-36 represses classical cell cycle targets by promoting DREAM binding and gene body enrichment of H2A.Z. Furthermore, the function of DREAM subunit EFL-1/E2F is specific for LIN-36 targets. In contrast, LIN-15B represses a subset of germline targets by facilitating H3K9me2 promoter marking. In humans, THAP proteins have been implicated in cell cycle regulation by poorly understood mechanisms. We propose that THAP domain proteins are key mediators of Rb/DREAM function, facilitating repression of distinct sets of targets.
