Engrailed transcription factors direct embryonic medial excitatory cerebellar nuclei neuron identity and survival

ABSTRACT: In the cerebellum, the excitatory neurons of the three cerebellar nuclei (eCN) form the primary output for the circuit. The medial eCN (eCNm) were recently divided into molecularly defined subdomains in the adult, however how they are established during development is not known. We define molecular subdomains of the eCNm using scRNA-seq and spatial expression analysis during embryogenesis. Our analysis shows that the eCNm are transcriptionally divergent from the rest of the eCN by E14.5. We previously showed that conditional loss of the homeobox genesEn1andEn2leads to death of a subset of embryonic eCNm. We demonstrate that loss ofEn1/2in embryonic eCNm results in cell death of a specific posterior eCNm molecular subdomain and loss of TBR2 expression in an anterior subdomain, as well as reduced synaptic gene expression. We further reveal a similar function for EN1/2 in mediating TBR2 expression, neuron differentiation and survival in the two other cerebellar excitatory neuron types. Thus, our work defines embryonic eCNm molecular diversity and reveals conserved roles for EN1/2 in the cerebellar excitatory neuron lineage.

3'RACE analyses of Pol V transcript 3' end lengths in mutants of the exonuclease RRP6L1

Project description:RNA Polymerase V transcription recruits siRNA-Argonaute protein complexes to chromatin, thereby specifying sites of RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) and transcriptional gene silencing in plants. The Pol V largest subunit, NRPE1, has an extensive carboxyl-terminal domain (CTD) that is dispensable for catalytic activity in vitro, yet essential in vivo. A CTD subdomain, DeCL, named for its similarity to a chloroplast protein, DEFECTIVE CHLOROPLASTS AND LEAVES, is required for Pol V function at virtually all loci, similar to mutants defective for Pol V recruitment. Deletions removing three other CTD subdomains affect overlapping subsets of loci, similar to mutants lacking proteins that bind Pol V or its transcripts. A yeast two-hybrid screen for CTD-interactors identified the 3-prime -> 5-prime exoribonuclease, RRP6L1 as an interactor with the DeCL subdomain and the adjacent QS subdomain, named for its numerous glutamine-serine (QS) repeats. These RRP6L1-binding subdomains immediately follow the Argonaute-binding subdomain. Experimental evidence indicates that RRP6L1 trims the 3-prime ends of Pol V transcripts sliced by ARGONAUTE 4 (AGO4), suggesting a model whereby the adjacent CTD subdomains enable the spatial and temporal coordination of AGO4 and RRP6L1 RNA processing activities.

Functional dissection of the Paired domain of Pax6 – distinct roles of subdomains in neurogenesis and proliferation

Project description:The transcription factor Pax6 acts as a key developmental regulator in various organs. In the developing brain Pax6 regulates patterning, neurogenesis and proliferation, but how these diverse effects are mediated at the molecular level is not well understood. As Pax6 regulates forebrain development including neurogenesis, proliferation and patterning, almost exclusively by one of its DNA-binding domains, the bipartite paired domain, we examined the role of its respective DNA-binding subdomains (PAI and RED). Using mice with point mutations in the PAI (Pax6Leca4, N50K) and RED (Pax6Leca2, R128C) subdomains we unravelled opposing roles of mutations in these subdomains in regulating genes that control proliferation in the developing cerebral cortex. Mutation of the PAI domain reduced proliferation of both apical and basal progenitors, while the RED domain mutation significantly increased proliferation. Conversely, neurogenesis was affected only by the PAI domain mutation phenocopying the neurogenic defects observed in full Pax6 mutants. Genome-wide expression analysis supported the molecularly distinct signature upon mutation of these subdomains unravelling the key neurogenic signature mediated by the PAI domain. The altered expression of genes identified as direct Pax6 targets by chromatin immunoprecipitation allowed to further identify regulatory elements whose function was impaired by each individual Pax6 mutated protein. Thus, Pax6 achieves its key roles in the developing forebrain by utilizing distinct subdomains to regulate neurogenesis and exert opposing effects on proliferation, while Pax6-target genes involved in patterning tolerate either subdomain mutation. We performed gene expression microarray analysis of Pax6 mutant mice (Leca2, Leca4, Sey) and control mice

Chronic Crebbp knockout in cerebellar granule neuron precursors [development]

Project description:Recurrent mutations in chromatin modifiers are specifically prevalent in adolescent or adult patients with Sonic Hedgehog-associated medulloblastoma (SHH MB). Here, we report that mutations in the acetyltransferase CREBBP have opposing effects during the development of the cerebellum, the primary site of origin of SHH MB. Our data reveal that loss of Crebbp in cerebellar granule neuron progenitors (GNPs) during embryonic development of mice compromises GNP development, in part by downregulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (Bdnf). Interestingly, concomitant cerebellar hypoplasia was also observed in patients with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome, a congenital disorder caused by germline mutations of CREBBP. By contrast, loss of Crebbp in GNPs during postnatal development synergizes with oncogenic activation of SHH signaling to drive MB growth, thereby explaining the enrichment of somatic CREBBP mutations in SHH MB of adult patients. Together, our data provide novel insights into time-sensitive consequences of CREBBP mutations and corresponding associations with human diseases. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying the knockout of Crebbp in murine granule neuron precursors, chronically induced at embryonic stages of development.

Centromeric chromatin in mitosis reorganizes into a functional structure stabilized by cohesin [NG-Capture-C]

Project description:Three-dimensional organization of mitotic chromosomes is established by cohesin and condensin complexes. In the centromere, cohesin maintains sister chromatid pairing until anaphase onset, while condensin provides elastic resistance to spindle forces. However, how condensin and cohesin structure vertebrate centromeres remains unclear. By super-resolution imaging, Capture-C analysis and polymer modeling we show that vertebrate centromeres are partitioned into two condensin-dependent subdomains during mitosis. This bipartite sub-structure is found in human, mouse and chicken centromeres, and is therefore a fundamental feature of vertebrate centromere. Super-resolution imaging and electron tomography reveal that bipartite centromeres assemble bipartite kinetochores with each subdomain capable of binding a distinct microtubule bundle. Cohesin helps to link the centromere subdomains, limiting their separation in response to spindle forces and preventing merotelic attachments. The two-domain structure described here may have implications for avoiding chromosomal instability as uncoupling of centromere subdomains is a common feature of lagging chromosomes in cancer cells.

Structure of the helicase core of Werner Helicase, a key target in microsatellite instability cancers

Project description:Loss of WRN, a DNA repair helicase, was identified as a strong vulnerability of microsatellite instable(MSI) cancers, making WRN a promising drug target. We show that ATP binding and hydrolysis are required for genome integrity and viability of MSI cancer cells. We report a 2.2 Å crystal structure of the WRN helicase core (517-1093), comprising the two helicase subdomains and winged helix domain but not the HRDC domain or nuclease domains. The structure highlights unusual features: First, an atypical mode of nucleotide binding that results in unusual relative positioning of the two helicase subdomains. Second, an additional β-hairpin in the second helicase subdomain and an unusual helical hairpin in the Zn2+ binding domain. Modelling of the WRN helicase in complex with DNA suggests roles for these features in the binding of alternative DNA structures. NMR analysis of shows a weak interaction between the HRDC domain and the helicase core, indicating a possible biological role for this association. Together, this study will facilitate the structure-based development of inhibitors against WRN helicase.
