Control of progenitor cell positioning and organ patterning during embryogenesis

ABSTRACT: The precise positioning of organ progenitor cells constitutes an essential, yet poorly understood step in organ development and function. Using primordial germ cells and the process of gonadogenesis as an in vivo model, we present the developmental mechanisms facilitating the maintenance of a motile progenitor cell population at the site where the organ develops. We find that the action of repulsive cues coupled with the generation of physical barriers confine the cells to the correct bilateral positions within the embryo. Using computer particle-based simulations we could also demonstrate the role of reflecting barriers, from which cells turn away upon contact, and the importance of proper level of cell-cell interaction for maintaining the tight cell clusters and their correct positioning at the target region. The cellular mechanisms operating during those events were determined using high-resolution live imaging microscopy. This analysis revealed cell polarity change upon interaction with the physical barrier and the establishment of compact clusters that involves increased cell-cell interaction as a result of collapse of cell protrusions and enhanced adhesion. The combination of these developmental and cellular

RSC mediated nucleosome positioning and GRFs form barriers in promoters to limit divergent noncoding transcription [RNA-Seq]

Project description:The directionality of gene promoters, the proportion of protein coding over divergent noncoding transcription, is highly variable and regulated. How promoter directionality is controlled remains poorly understood. We show that chromatin remodelling complex RSC, general regulatory factors (GRFs) including transcription factors (TFs) can facilitate promoter directionality by attenuating divergent noncoding transcription. Depletion of RSC increased divergent noncoding and decreased protein coding transcription of promoters with strong directionality. Consistent with RSC’s role in regulating chromatin, RSC depletion negatively impacts nucleosome positions upstream of the nucleosome depleted region where divergent transcription initiates, suggesting that nucleosome positioning upstream in promoters physically blocks the recruitment of transcription machinery. Likewise, divergent transcription can be suppressed by targeting GRFs and TFs or the bulky dCas9 protein to transcriptional initiation sites. We propose that RSC mediated nucleosome positioning, GRFs including TFs form the physical barriers in promoters for limiting of divergent transcription, thereby controlling promoter directionality.

Two Forkhead transcription factors regulate cardiac progenitor cell divisions by a Polo kinase-dependent pathway

Project description:The development of a complex organ requires the proper differentiation and production of appropriate numbers of each of its constituent cell types, as well as their correct positioning within the organ. During Drosophila cardiogenesis, all three of these processes are controlled by jumeau (jumu) and Checkpoint suppressor homologue (CHES-1-like), two genes encoding forkhead transcription factors that were discovered utilizing an integrated genetic, genomic and computational strategy which identified 70 novel genes expressed in the developing Drosophila heart. Both jumu and CHES-1-like are required during asymmetric cell division for the derivation of two distinct cardiac cell types from their mutual precursor, and in symmetric cell division to produce yet a third type of heart cell. jumu and CHES-1-like control the division of cardiac progenitors by regulating the activity of Polo, a kinase involved in multiple steps of mitosis. This pathway demonstrates how transcription factors integrate diverse developmental processes during organogenesis. GFP-positive cells were profiled from Stage 11-12 Drosophila embryos of the following two genotypes: twi-GAL4 UAS-2EGFP/UAS-jumu and twi-GAL4 UAS-2EGFP

MCM complexes are barriers that restrict cohesin-mediated loop extrusion [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Eukaryotic genomes are compacted into loops and topologically associating domains (TADs), which contribute to transcription, recombination and genomic stability. Cohesin extrudes DNA into loops that are thought to lengthen until CTCF boundaries are encountered. Little is known about whether loop extrusion is impeded by DNA-bound machines. Here we show that the minichromosome maintenance (MCM) complex is a barrier that restricts loop extrusion in G1 phase. Single-nucleus Hi-C of mouse zygotes revealed that MCM loading reduces CTCF-anchored loops and decreases TAD boundary insulation, suggesting loop extrusion is impeded before reaching CTCF. This effect extends to HCT116 cells, where MCMs affect the number of CTCF-anchored loops and gene expression. Simulations suggest that MCMs are abundant, randomly positioned, partially permeable barriers. Single-molecule imaging shows that MCMs are physical barriers that frequently constrain cohesin translocation in vitro. Remarkably, chimaeric yeast MCMs harbouring a cohesin-interaction motif from human MCM3 induce cohesin pausing, suggesting that MCMs are “active” barriers with binding sites. These findings raise the possibility that cohesin can arrive by loop extrusion at MCMs, which determine the genomic sites at which sister chromatid cohesion is established. Based on in vivo, in silico and in vitro data, we conclude that distinct loop extrusion barriers shape the 3D genome.
