Effect of upregulation of LINE-1 retrotransposon on translation in the mouse testis

ABSTRACT: We used piRNA-deficient Maelstrom (Mael) knockout mice to investigate the effect of LINE-1 retrotransposon upregulation on translation efficiency (TE) in the germline. We collected Mael+/- and Mael-/- testes at postnatal day 16 (P16), when LINE-1 upregulation in Mael-/- spermatocytes is manifest, and performed ribosome profiling. RNA-seq analysis of the same samples was performed in parallel to evaluate the contribution of transcriptional changes to variations in footprint levels.

Characterization of L1 ORF1p macromolecular complexes from Mael-/- mouse testes

Project description:piRNA-deficient Maelstrom (Mael) null mice are characterized by a strong upregulation of retrotransposon LINE-1 (L1) in meiotic spermatocytes. This defect turns out in the accumulation of L1 RNA and ORF1p in their cytoplasm and the formation of prominent ribonucleoprotein aggregates. We used 3-months-old Mael-/- male mice to characterize the protein composition of those ORF1p aggregates.

Characterization of the RNA present in L1 ORF1p macromolecular complexes from Mael-/- mouse testes

Project description:piRNA-deficient Maelstrom (Mael) null mice are characterized by a strong upregulation of LINE-1 (L1) retrotransposon in meiotic spermatocytes. This defect turns out in the accumulation of L1 RNA and ORF1p in their cytoplasm and the formation of prominent ribonucleoprotein aggregates. We used 3-months-old Mael-/- male mice to characterize the RNA present in those ORF1p aggregates. To favor the isolation of complexed versus free ORF1p protein, we first fractionated Mael-/- testis extracts (that we refer to as TOTAL) by sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation, in the presence of EDTA. We then pooled the sucrose fractions where ORF1p macromolecular complexes sediment (fractions 5-8) and used this pool as the INPUT for an anti-ORF1p co-immunoprecipitation (IP) followed by RNA-seq.

MAEL-dependent selective processing of pachytene piRNA precursors and translation of spermiogenic mRNAs

Project description:Piwi-interacting small RNAs (piRNAs) of fetal prospermatogonia of mice have been strongly implicated in transposon control. In contrast, little is known about biogenesis and function of abundant piRNAs from adult testes expressed in late spermatocytes and round spermatids. These so-called "pachytene" piRNAs are processed from long non-coding piRNA precursors and have no defined RNA targets in the transcriptome even though their binding partner Piwi, MIWI, is essential for spermiogenesis and fertility. Here we report that 129SvJae mice lacking Maelstrom (MAEL), a conserved piRNA pathway protein, exhibit spermiogenic arrest with defects in acrosome and flagellum formation. Further analysis revealed MAEL association with RNPs containing MIWI, TDRD6, and processed intermediates of pachytene piRNA precursors of various length. Loss of MAEL causes a 10-fold drop in pachytene piRNA levels but an increase in piRNAs from abundantly expressed mRNAs. These results suggest a MAEL-dependent mechanism for the selective processing of pachytene piRNA precursor into piRNAs. Strikingly, ribosome profiling of Mael-null testes revealed that reduced piRNA production is accompanied by reduced translation of over 800 spermiogenic mRNAs including those encoding acrosome and flagellum proteins. In light of recent reports of piRNA-independent protection of translationally repressed mRNPs by MIWI and piRNA-dependent turnover of MIWI, we propose that pachytene piRNAs function by controlling the availably of MIWI for the translational repression of spermiogenic mRNAs. piRNA sequencing, RNA immunoprecipitation, and expression measurements (RNA-Seq and ribosome profiling) in wild-type and Mael -/- testes

Maelstrom functions in the production of Siwi-piRISC capable of regulating transposons in Bombyx germ cells

Project description:PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) bind to PIWI proteins to assemble the piRISC, which represses germline transposons. Maelstrom (Mael) is necessary for piRISC biogenesis in germ cells, but its function remains unclear. Here, we show that Mael interconnects Spindle-E (Spn-E), a key piRISC biogenesis factor, with unloaded Siwi, one of two silkworm PIWI members. Mael also assembles a subset of nuage, a non-membranous organelle involved in piRISC biogenesis. Loss of Mael abrogated the Spn-E–Siwi interaction and Ago3-piRISC biogenesis, but Siwi-piRISC was produced. Bioinformatic analysis showed that Siwi-bound piRNAs in Mael-lacking cells were rich in transposon-targeting piRNAs as in normal cells but were biased toward transposons that are marginally controlled by Siwi-piRISC. This explains the impairment in Ago3-piRISC production because transposon mRNAs cleaved by Siwi are the origin of Ago3-loaded piRNAs. We argue that Mael plays a role in the production of primary Siwi-piRISC capable of regulating transposon expression in germ cells.

Expression profile and RNA Polymerase II occupancy of transposable elements among knock down of the piRNA pathway components in OSCs

Project description:The PiwiM-bM-^@M-^SpiRNA complex (PiwiM-bM-^@M-^SpiRISC) in Drosophila ovarian somatic cells represses transposons transcriptionally to maintain genome integrity; however, the underlying mechanisms remain obscure. We performed mRNA-seq analysis from OSCs transfected with siRNAs against CG3893, the known piRNA pathway genes, Piwi, Maelstrom, HP1a and Armitage, and the control (EGFP), and PolII ChIP-seqanalysis from OSCs transfected with siRNAs against CG3893, Piwi, Mael and the control (EGFP). This result indicates that CG3893 is a novel factor for primary piRNA pathway in OSCs.

Piwi suppresses transcription of Brahma-dependent transposons via Maelstrom in ovarian somatic cells

Project description:Drosophila Piwi associates with PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) and represses transposons transcriptionally through heterochromatinization; however, this process is poorly understood. Here, we identify Brahma (Brm), the core adenosine triphosphatase of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex, as a new Piwi interactor, and show Brm involvement in activating transcription of Piwi-targeted transposons before silencing. Bioinformatic analyses indicated that Piwi, once bound to target RNAs, reduced the occupancies of SWI/SNF and RNA polymerase II (Pol II) on target loci, abrogating transcription. Artificial piRNA-driven targeting of Piwi to RNA transcripts enhanced repression of Brm-dependent reporters compared with Brm-independent reporters. This was dependent on Piwi cofactors, Gtsf1/Asterix (Gtsf1), Panoramix/Silencio (Panx), and Maelstrom (Mael), but not Eggless/dSetdb (Egg)–mediated H3K9me3 deposition. The lambdaN-box B–mediated tethering of Mael to reporters repressed Brm-dependent genes in the absence of Piwi, Panx, and Gtsf1. We propose that Piwi, via Mael, can rapidly suppress transcription of Brm-dependent genes to facilitate heterochromatin formation.

The effect of the Pld6 and Dnmt3l mutations on DNA methylation and expression of retrotransposons in mouse male germ cells

Project description:Mammalian genomes harbor millions of retrotransposon copies, some of which are transpositionally active. In mouse prospermatogonia, PIWI-interacting small RNAs called piRNAs combat retrotransposon activity. The piRNA system guides de novo DNA methylation at retrotransposon promoters, but it remains unclear whether DNA methylation is involved in retrotransposon silencing in prospermatogonia. We performed a genome-wide study of DNA methylation and RNA abundance for retrotransposons in developing mouse male germ cells, using Pld6/Mitopld and Dnmt3l knockout (KO) mice deficient in piRNA biogenesis and de novo DNA methylation, respectively. The Dnmt3l mutation greatly reduced DNA methylation at most retrotransposons but its effect on their RNA abundance was low in prospermatogonia. In the Pld6 mutants, only few retrotransposons exhibited reduced DNA methylation but many were more upregulated at the RNA level than in the Dnmt3l mutants. Moreover, the retrotransposon upregulation by the Pld6 mutation was observed even in the Dnmt3l KO background. Thus, in prospermatogonia, post-transcriptional RNA digestion by the piRNA system plays a more important role in retrotransposon regulation than transcriptional silencing by DNA methylation. However, their relative importance was changed in meiotic spermatocytes where hypomethylation of retrotransposons increased their expression by up to 100-fold in both mutants. Interestingly, retrotransposon activation disrupted the transcriptome integrity because intergenic and intronic retrotransposon sequences, in particular, the antisense promoter of LINE-1, drive expression of nearby genes.
