Centromere misdivision promotes centromeric sequence changes, de novo centromere formation, and centromere expansion

ABSTRACT: Centromeres typically contain repeat sequences, but centromere function does not necessarily depend on these sequences. In aneuploid wheat (Triticum aestivum) and wheat distant hybridization offspring, we found functional centromeres with dramatic changes to centromeric retrotransposon of wheat (CRW) sequences. CRW sequences were greatly reduced in the ditelosomic lines 1BS, 5DS, 5DL, and a wheat-Thinopyrum elongatum addition line. CRWs were completely lost in the ditelosomic line 4DS, but a 994 kb ectopic genomic DNA sequence was involved in de novo centromere formation on the 4DS chromosome. In addition, two ectopic sequences were incorporated in a de novo centromere in a wheat-Th. intermedium addition line. Centromeric sequences were also expanded to the chromosome arm in wide hybridizations. Stable alien chromosomes with two and three regions containing centromeric sequences were found in wheat-Th. elongatum hybrid derivatives, but only one is functional. In wheat-rye (Secale cereale) hybrids, rye centromere specific sequences spread to the chromosome arm and may cause centromere expansion. Thus, distant wheat hybridizations cause frequent and significant changes to the centromere via centromere misdivision, which may affect retention or loss of alien chromosomes in hybrids.

Centromere-Like Regions in Budding Yeast

Project description:Accurate chromosome segregation requires centromeres (CENs), the chromosomal sites where kinetochores form, to bridge DNA and attach to microtubules. In contrast to most eukaryotes, Saccharomyces cerevisiae possesses sequence-defined point centromeres. Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-Seq) of four kinetochore components reveals regions of overlapping, extra-centromeric protein localization upon overproduction of the centromeric histone, Cse4 (CENP-A or CenH3). These identified sequences enhance proper plasmid and chromosome segregation, and are termed Centromere-like Regions (CLRs). CLRs form in close proximity to S. cerevisiae CENs and share characteristics typical of point and regional centromeres. CLR sequences are conserved among related budding yeasts, suggesting a role in vivo. These studies provide new insights into the origin and evolution of centromeres.

Sequential centromere shift via de novo formation in maize

Project description:The ability of centromeres to alternate between active and inactive states indicates significant epigenetic elements controlling centromere assembly and centromere function. In maize (Zea mays), misdivision of the B chromosome centromere on a translocation with the short arm of chromosome 9 (TB-9Sb) can produce many variants with varying centromere sizes and centromeric DNA sequences. In derivatives of TB-9Sb, we found a de novo centromere on chromosome telo-3-3, which has no canonical centromeric repeat sequences. This centromere is derived from a 288-kb region on the short arm of chromosome 9, and is 19 megabases (Mb) removed from the translocation breakpoint of chromosome 9 in TB-9Sb. This centromere is much smaller than normal ones but can be maintained through meiosis. The functional B centromere in progenitor telo2-2 is deleted from telo3-3 but some B-repeat sequences remain. The de novo centromere of telo3-3 becomes inactive in three further derivatives with new centromeres being formed elsewhere on the chromosomes. One such de novo centromere contains only 200-kb CENH3 binding domain. This 200-kb centromere is located 3 Mb removed from the translocation breakpoint in a new location. The deleted B centromere in telo3-3 is activated in two derivatives. Our results suggest that de novo centromere formation is more common than previously thought and can persist on chromosomal fragments without a canonical centromere providing implications for karyotype evolution. ChIP-seq was carried out with anti-CENH3 antibodies using material from young leaves with control, telo3-3 and its derivate.

Epigenetic characteristics and gene-expression analysis of a de novo centromere in maize

Project description:De novo centromeres originate occasionally from non-centromeric regions of chromosomes, providing an excellent model system to study centromeric chromatin. The maize mini-chromosome Dp3a contains a de novo centromere, which was derived from a euchromatic site on the long arm of chromosome 3 that lacks traditional centromeric repeat sequences. Our previous study found that the CENH3 binding domain of this de novo centromere is only 350 kb with a high-density gene distribution with low-density of transposons. Here we analyzed the kinetochore complex assembled on the de novo centromere, which revealed that it resembles the native centromeres. Meiotic analyses showed that the Dp3a mini-chromosome formed bi-orientation during meiosis I and could stably transmit through meiosis. We applied next generation sequencing technology to analyze gene transcription, DNA methylation and histone modifications for this region. Our RNA-seq data revealed that active chromatin is not a barrier for de novo centromere formation. The gene expression level within the Dp3a breakpoints of native chromosome 3 indicated a gene dosage effect due to the additional copy of Dp3a mini-chromosome region in chromosome 3. Bisulfite-ChIP-seq results indicate a slightly increased DNA methylation level after de novo centromere formation, reaching the level of a native centromere. No strand-specific bias of DNA methylation was found at maize native and Dp3a de novo centromeres. H2A-T133 phosphorylation occurs in the CENH3 nucleosome. These results provide insight into the mechanism of de novo centromere formation and subsequent consequences.

Identification and characterization of centromeric sequences in Xenopus laevis

Project description:Centromeres play an essential role in cell division by specifying the site of kinetochore formation on each chromosome so that chromosomes can attach to the mitotic spindle for segregation. Centromeres are defined epigenetically by the histone H3 variant CEntromere Protein A (CENP-A). Dividing cells maintain the centromere by depositing new CENP-A each cell cycle to replenish CENP-A diluted by replication. The CENP-A nucleosome serves as the primary signal to the machinery responsible for its replenishment. Vertebrate centromeres are frequently built on repetitive sequences organized in tandem arrays. Repetitive centromeric DNA has been suggested to play a role in centromere maintenance and in de novo centromere formation, but this has been difficult to dissect because of the difficulty in manipulating centromere in cells. Extracts from Xenopus laevis eggs are able to assemble centromeres and kinetochores in vitro and thus provide a useful system for studying the role of centromeric DNA in centromere formation. However centromeric sequences in X. laevis have not been extensively characterized.. In this study we characterize repeat sequences found at X. laevis centromeres. We utilize a k-mer based approach in order to uncover the previously unknown diversity of X. laevis centromeric sequences. We validate centromere localization of repeat sequences by in situ hybridization and identify the location of the centromeric repetitive array on each chromosome by mapping the distribution of centromere enriched k-mers on the Xenopus genome. Our identification of X. laevis centromere sequences enables previously unapproachable genomic studies of centromeres. The k-mer based approach that we used to investigate centromeric repetitive DNA is suitable for the analysis of other repetitive sequences found across the genome or the study of repeats in other organisms.

RNA-seq was carried out using material from seedling and young leaves between control and Derivative 3-3. Bisulfite-ChIP-seq was carried out with anti-CENH3 antibodies using material from young leaves in Derivative 3-3.

Functional centromere lost centromeric specific sequences but gain new sequences from nearby chromosomal arm.

Project description:We identified a newly formed dicentric chromosome (sDic-15) in maize from intrachromosomal recombination and BFB cycles, in which only one centromere is active. The centromeres lost CentC sequences and dramatic reduced the CRM sequences, but when the molecular features of functional centromeres such as CENH3 was examined, they were present. Immunolocalization analysis of phosphorylation of H3T3, H3ser-10 and H2A levels on this new centromere shows a pattern typical of a functional centromere. Meiotic analysis revealed that this dicentric chromosome is table and transmit very well. To examine the new sequences associated with CENH3 in this centromere, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) was carried out with anti-CENH3 antibodies and material from young seedlings with or without dicentric chromosome. We mapped the ChIP-Seq reads to the reference genome and found a 723kb region from the short arm of maize chromosome 9 involve the new centromere formation. This region is gene-poor and full of TEs, but genes in this region are transcribed. The original 723kb region shows a high DNA methylation level as native centromeres but had no significant change when it involved into new centromere formation. The reactivation of this newly formed centromere indicated that centromere reactivation may not dependent on the relatively intact DNA sequences or topology of original inactive centromere.
