Role of CEP112 and hnRNPA2B1 complex phase separation in RNA granule translation during spermiogenesis in humans and mice

ABSTRACT: Centrosomal proteins (CEPs) are active components of centrioles that mediate multiple biological processes, such as ciliogenesis and centriole biogenesis; therefore, CEP dysfunctions are broadly implicated in various human diseases. Although CEPs have been genetically linked to reproduction, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we report that knocking out Cep112 in mice causes male infertility with various sperm abnormalities and phenotypes consistent with human asthenoteratozoospermia. Microscopic observations revealed CEP112 is a novel component of atypical centrioles in human sperm cells. Mechanically, as an intrinsically disordered region-rich RNA-binding protein, CEP112 interacted with hnRNPA2B1 and condensed with key spermiogenesis-related mRNA molecules (Fsip2, Cfap61, and Cfap74) via liquid–liquid phase separation, which promoted RNA transport and the maintenance of local translation during spermiogenesis. Furthermore, two patients with bi-allelic variants in CEP112 were identified in a cohort of 568 unrelated infertile men, and in vitro experiments showed the mutations affected the phase-separation characteristics. Our findings provide new information on the roles of CEP112 and LLPS in male reproductive biology. 4 samples

Protein phosphorylation landscape of mouse spermatids during spermiogenesis

Project description:Tadpole-shaped sperm is formed from round spermatid by spermiogenesis, a process with dramatic morphological changes in the final stage of spermatogenesis in testis. Protein phosphorylation, as one of the most important post-translational modifications, can regulate spermiogenesis, however, there is a lack of systemic analysis for phosphorylation events in this process. By large-scale phosphoproteome profiling using IMAC and TiO2 enrichment, we identified 18,980 phosphorylation sites in 4,628 phosphoproteins in mouse purified spermatids undergoing spermiogenesis. The identified phosphoproteins were significantly enriched in RNA transport, cell-cell adhesion, centrosome, microtubule and cilliogenesis. Further characterization of the kinase substrate relationship network demonstrated enrichment of phosphorylation substrates were related to the regulation of spermiogenesis. This global protein phosphorylation landscape of spermiogenesis showed wide phosphoregulation of diverse processes during spermiogenesis and could help further characterization of the process of sperm generation.

Sub-centrosomal mapping identifies augmin-TuRC as part of a centriole-stabilizing scaffold

Project description:Centriole biogenesis and maintenance are crucial for cells to generate cilia and assemble centrosomes that function as microtubule organizing centers (MTOCs). Centriole biogenesis and MTOC function both require the microtubule nucleator -tubulin ring complex (TuRC). It is widely accepted that TuRC nucleates microtubules from the pericentriolar material (PCM) that is associated with the proximal part of centrioles. However, TuRC also localizes more distally and in the centriole lumen, but the significance of these findings is unclear. Here we identify spatially and functionally distinct sub-populations of centrosomal TuRC. Luminal localization is mediated by augmin, which is linked to the centriole inner scaffold through POC5. Disruption of luminal localization impairs centriole integrity and interferes with cilium assembly. Defective ciliogenesis is also observed in TuRC mutant fibroblasts from a patient suffering from microcephaly with chorioretinopathy. These results identify a novel, non-canonical role of augmin-γTuRC in the centriole lumen that is linked to human disease.

Taf7l cooperates with Trf2 to regulate spermiogenesis

Project description:Taf7l (a paralogue of Taf7) and Trf2 (a TBP-related protein) are components of the core promoter complex required for gene/tissue-specific transcription of protein-coding genes by RNA polymerase II. Previous studies reported that Taf7l knockout mice exhibit structurally abnormal sperm, reduced sperm count, weakened motility and compromised fertility. Here we find that continued backcrossing of Taf7l-/Y mice from N5 to N9 produced KO males that are essentially sterile. Genome-wide expression profiling by mRNA-seq analysis of wild type (WT) and Taf7l-/Y (KO) testes revealed that Taf7l ablation impairs the expression of many post-meiotic spermatogenic specific as well as metabolic genes. Importantly, histological analysis of testes revealed that Taf7l-/Y mice develop post-meiotic arrest at the first stage of spermiogenesis, phenotypically similar to Trf2-/- mice, but distinct from Taf4b-/- mice. Indeed, we find that Taf7l and Trf2 co-regulate post-meiotic genes, but none of Taf4b-regulated germ stem cell genes in testes. Genome-wide ChIP-seq studies indicate that TAF7L binds to promoters of activated post-meiotic genes in testis. Moreover, biochemical studies show that TAF7L associates with TRF2 both in vitro and in testis suggesting that TAF7L likely cooperates directly with TRF2 at promoters of a subset of post-meiotic genes to regulate spermiogenesis. Our findings thus provide a new mechanism for cell-type specific transcriptional control involving an interaction between a ‘non-prototypic’ core promoter recognition factor (Trf2) and an orphan TAF subunit (Taf7l) in mammalian testis-specific gene transcription. Genome-wide mapping of TAF7L and Pol II in testis tissue, and mRNA-seq expression profiling wild type and Taf7l knockout testis.

PHF7 Modulates BRDT Stability and Histone-to-Protamine Exchange during Spermiogenesis

Project description:Spermatogenesis is a complex process of sperm generation, including mitosis, meiosis, and spermiogenesis. During spermiogenesis, histones in post-meiotic spermatids are removed from chromatin and replaced by protamines. Although histone-to-protamine exchange is important for sperm nuclear condensation, the underlying regulatory mechanism is still poorly understood. Here, we identify PHD finger protein 7 (PHF7) as an E3 ubiquitin ligase for histone H3K14 in post-meiotic spermatids. Generation of Phf7-deficient mice and Phf7 C160A knockin mice with impaired E3 ubiquitin ligase activity reveals defects in histone-to-protamine exchange caused by dysregulation of histone removal factor Bromodomain, testis-specific (BRDT) in early condensing spermatids. Surprisingly, E3 ubiquitin ligase activity of PHF7 on histone ubiquitination leads to stabilization of BRDT by attenuating ubiquitination of BRDT. Collectively, our findings identify PHF7 as a critical factor for sperm chromatin condensation and contribute to mechanistic understanding of fundamental phenomenon of histone-to-protamine exchange and potential for drug development for the male reproduction system.

RNAseq analysis of Xenopus laevis wildtype and emi2 mutant multiciliated cells during and post differentiation

Project description:Multiciliated cells (MCCs) form when progenitors massively expand centriole number, yielding the hundreds of basal bodies required to extend multiple motile cilia. This organelle biogenesis is promoted transcriptionally by Multicilin acting in a complex with the E2F transcription factors, which activates the expression of genes known to be involved required to form centrioles during the cell cycle, but also requires a cell cycle state required for the centrosome cycle. Multicilin also activates the expression of Emi2 (fbxo43) an inhibitor of the APC/C ubiquitin ligase. In Emi2 mutants, basal body formation during MCCl differentiation is blocked. RNAseq analysis is used to show that gene expression associated with MCC differentiation is upregulated normally in Emi2 mutants, but surprisingly is not downregulated when MCC differentiation is complete. Emi2 is required to promote the centrosomal cycle during MCC differentiation, but then also acts to turn off gene expression associated with centriole biogenesis in differentiated cells.

Gcn5-mediated histone acetylation governs nucleosome dynamics in spermiogenesis [ATAC-seq]

Project description:During mammalian spermatogenesis, male germ cells undergo dramatic reorganization of chromatin, whereby 90-99% of histones are evicted and replaced by protamines. This reorganization prominently features histone acetylation to loosen chromatin structure. Given the potential role of retained histones in fertility and early embryonic development, the genomic location of retained nucleosomes is of great interest. However, the ultimate position and mechanisms underlying nucleosome eviction/retention are poorly understood, including several studies utilizing MNase-seq methodologies, but reporting remarkably dissimilar locations. Here, we utilized ATAC-seq to determine the location of retained nucleosomes in mouse sperm and found enrichment at promoters, but also retention at inter- and intragenic regions, and repetitive elements. We further investigated nucleosome eviction/retention by generating pre-meiotic, germ cell specific, conditional knockout mice for the histone acetyltransferase Gcn5, a key histone acetyltransferase. Gcn5cKO germ cells exhibited abnormal chromatin dynamics during spermiogenesis, including diminished nucleosome eviction leading to increased histone retention in sperm. These mice exhibited severe reproductive phenotypes: abnormal sperm production, sperm morphology, and ultimately, male infertility. Our findings demonstrate Gcn5 mediated histone acetylation promotes chromatin accessibility and nucleosome eviction in spermiogenesis, and that loss of histone acetylation leads to defects that disrupt male fertility and potentially, early embryogenesis.

Spermiogenesis alterations in the absence of CTCF revealed by single cell RNA sequencing

Project description:In this work, we performed single cell RNA sequencing in spermatogenic cells without CTCF. We uncovered defects in transcriptional programs that explain the severity of the damage in the produced sperm. At early stages of spermatogenesis, transcriptional alterations are mild. As germ cells go throughout the specialization stage or spermiogenesis, transcriptional profiles become more altered. We found spermatid defects that support the alterations in the transcriptional profiles, and thus we conclude that CTCF depletion alters several transcriptional profiles mostly during spermiogenesis. Our data highlights the importance of CTCF at the different stages of spermatogenesis.
