Project description:To study the function of zebrafish nuclear pores during early embryogenesis, we generated maternal zygotic double mutant of nup85;nup133 (MZnup85;nup133) using CRISPR/Cas9 and report the transcriptome-wide changes in comparison to wild-type (WT) embryos. Our analysis reveals a dramatic delay of maternal mRNA degradation and zygotic genome activation in MZnup85;nup133 embryos during maternal-to-zygotic transition.

Project description:From their essential function in building up the nuclear pore complexes, nucleoporins have expanded roles beyond nuclear transport. Hence, their contribution to chromatin organization and gene expression has set them as critical players in development and pathologies. We previously reported that Nup133 and Seh1, two components of the Y-complex subunit of the nuclear pore scaffold, are dispensable in mouse embryonic stem cells but required for their survival during neuroectodermal differentiation. Here, a transcriptomic analysis revealed that Nup133 regulates a subset of genes at early stages of neuroectodermal differentiation, including Lhx1 and Nup210L, encoding a newly validated nucleoporin. These genes were also misregulated in Nup133∆Mid neuronal progenitors, in which NPC basket assembly is impaired, as previously observed in pluripotent cells. However, a four-fold reduction of Nup133, despite affecting basket assembly, is not sufficient to alter Nup210L and Lhx1 regulation. Finally, these two genes are misregulated in Seh1-deficient progenitors that only show a mild decrease in NPC density. Together these data reveal a shared function of Y-complex nucleoporins in gene regulation during neuroectodermal differentiation.

Project description:Transport of macromolecules through the nuclear envelope (NE) is mediated by nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) consisting of nucleoporins (Nups). Elys/Mel-28 is the Nup that binds and connects the decondensing chromatin with the reassembled NPCs at the end of mitosis. Whether Elys links chromatin with the NE during interphase is unknown. Using DamID-seq, we identified Elys binding sites in Drosophila late embryos and divided them into those associated with nucleoplasmic or NPC-linked Elys. These Elys binding sites are located within active or inactive chromatin, respectively. Strikingly, Elys knockdown in S2 cells results in peripheral chromatin displacement from the NE, in decondensation of NE-attached chromatin, and in derepression of genes within. It also leads to slightly more compact active chromatin regions. Our findings indicate that NPC-linked Elys, together with the nuclear lamina, anchors peripheral chromatin to the NE, whereas nucleoplasmic Elys decompacts active chromatin.

Project description:The origin recognition complex (ORC) binds throughout the genome to initiate DNA replication. In metazoans, it is still unclear how ORC is targeted to specific loci to facilitate helicase loading and replication initiation. Here, we performed immunoprecipitations coupled with mass spectrometry for ORC2 in Drosophila embryos. Surprisingly, we found that ORC2 associates with several subunits of the Nup107-160 subcomplex of the nuclear pore. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that, relative to all modENCODE factors, nucleoporins are among the most enriched factors at ORC2 binding sites. Critically, depletion of the nucleoporin Elys, a member of the Nup107-160 complex, results in decrease ORC2 loading onto chromatin. Depleting Elys also sensitized cells to replication fork stalling, which could reflect a defect in establishing dormant replication origins. Our work reveals a new connection between ORC, replication initiation and nucleoporins, highlighting a previously unrecognized function of nucleoporins in metazoan replication initiation.

Project description:During embryogenesis, the genome shifts from transcriptionally quiescent to extensively active in a process known as Zygotic Genome Activation (ZGA). In Drosophila, the pioneer factor Zelda is known to be essential for the progression of development, still, it regulates the activation of only a small subset of genes at ZGA. However, thousands of genes do not require Zelda, suggesting that other mechanisms exist. By conducting GRO-seq, HiC and ChIP-seq in Drosophila embryos, we demonstrate that up to 65% of zygotically activated genes are enriched for the histone variant H2A.Z and independent of Zelda. H2A.Z enrichment precedes ZGA and Polymerase II loading onto chromatin. In vivo knock-down of maternally contributed Domino, a histone chaperone and ATPase, reduces H2A.Z deposition at transcription start sites, causes global downregulation of housekeeping genes at ZGA, and compromises the establishment of the 3D chromatin structure. We infer that maternal factors and H2A.Z are master regulators of the de novo establishment of transcriptional programs during ZGA via chromatin reorganization.
