An RNA-seq dataset for studies of gene expression variation in the MAGIC line resource of Arabidopsis thaliana

ABSTRACT: To understand the population genetics of structural variants (SVs), and their effects on phenotypes, we developed an approach to mapping SVs, particularly transpositions, segregating in a sequenced population, and which avoids calling SVs directly. The evidence for a potential SV at a locus is indicated by variation in the counts of short-reads that map anomalously to the locus. These SV traits are treated as quantitative traits and mapped genetically, analogously to a gene expression study. Association between an SV trait at one locus and genotypes at a distant locus indicate the origin and target of a transposition. Using ultra-low-coverage (0.3x) population sequence data from 488 recombinant inbred Arabidopsis genomes, we identified 6,502 segregating SVs. Remarkably, 25% of these were transpositions. Whilst many SVs cannot be delineated precisely, PCR validated 83% of 44 predicted transposition breakpoints. We show that specific SVs may be causative for quantitative trait loci for germination, fungal disease resistance and other phenotypes. Further we show that the phenotypic heritability attributable to sequence anomalies differs from, and in the case of time to germination and bolting, exceeds that due to standard genetic variation. Gene expression within SVs is also more likely to be silenced or dysregulated, as inferred from RNA-seq data collected from a subset of just over 200 of the MAGIC lines. This approach is generally applicable to large populations sequenced at low-coverage, and complements the prevalent strategy of SV discovery in fewer individuals sequenced at high coverage.

N-glycoproteomics of brain synapses and synaptic vesicles

Project description:At mammalian neuronal synapses, synaptic vesicle (SV) glycoproteins are essential for robust neurotransmission. Asparagine (N)-linked glycosylation is required for delivery of the major SV glycoproteins synaptophysin and SV2A to SVs. Despite this key role for N-glycosylation, the molecular compositions of SV N-glycans are largely unknown. In this study, we combined organelle isolation techniques and high-resolution mass spectrometry to characterize N-glycosylation at synapses and SVs from mouse brain. Detecting over 2,500 unique glycopeptides, we found that SVs harbor a distinct population of oligomannose and highly fucosylated N-glycans. Using complementary fluorescence methods, we identify at least one highly fucosylated N-glycan enriched in SVs as compared to synaptosomes. High fucosylation was characteristic of SV proteins, plasma membrane proteins, and cell adhesion molecules with key roles in synaptic function and development. Our results resolve the N-glycoproteome of a neuronal organelle and inform timely questions in the glycobiology of synaptic pruning and neuroinflammation.

Reversal of cell, circuit and seizure phenotypes in a mouse model of DNM1 epileptic encephalopathy

Project description:Pathogenic heterozygous missense mutations in the DNM1 gene result in a novel form of epileptic encephalopathy. DNM1 encodes for the large GTPase dynamin-1, an enzyme with an obligatory role in the endocytosis of synaptic vesicles (SVs) at mammalian nerve terminals. Pathogenic DNM1 mutations cluster within regions required for its essential GTPase activity, implicating disruption of this enzyme activity as being central to epileptic encephalopathy. We reveal that the most prevalent pathogenic mutation in the GTPase domain of DNM1, R237W, disrupts dynamin-1 enzyme activity and SV endocytosis when overexpressed in central neurons. To determine how this dominant-negative heterozygous mutant impacted cell, circuit and behaviour when expressed from its endogenous locus, we generated a mouse carrying the R237W mutation. Neurons isolated from heterozygous mice displayed dysfunctional SV endocytosis, which translated into altered excitatory neurotransmission and seizure-like phenotypes. Importantly, these phenotypes were corrected at the cell, circuit and in vivo level by the drug, BMS-204352, which accelerates SV endocytosis in wild-type neurons. This study therefore provides the first direct link between dysfunctional SV endocytosis and epilepsy, and importantly reveals that SV endocytosis is a viable therapeutic route for monogenic intractable epilepsies.

Polymer Physics Predicts the Effects of Structural Variants on Chromatin Architecture (mouse)

Project description:Structural variants (SVs) can result in changes in gene expression due to abnormal chromatin folding and consecutive disease. However, the prediction of such effects remains a challenge. Here we present a polymer physics based approach (PRISMR) to model chromatin folding and to predict enhancer-promoter contacts. Using the Epha4 locus as a model, the effects of pathogenic SVs were predicted in-silico and compared to published Hi-C and capture Hi-C data generated from mouse limb buds and patient-derived fibroblasts. PRISMR deconvolutes the folding complexity of the studied locus, and identifies SV-induced alterations of 3D genome organization in the homozygous as well as the heterozygous state. Our method accurately predicts the specific sites of ectopic chromatin contacts that produce extensive rewiring of regulatory interactions, causing disease by gene misexpression. PRISMR can be used to predict interactions in silico thereby providing a tool for analyzing the disease causing potential of SVs.

Synaptic vesicle proteins and ATG9A self-organize in distinct vesicle phases within synapsin condensates

Project description:Ectopic expression in fibroblasts of synapsin 1 and synaptophysin is sufficient to generate condensates of vesicles highly reminiscent of synaptic vesicle (SV) clusters and with liquid-like properties. We show that unlike synaptophysin, other major integral SV membrane proteins fail to form condensates with synapsin, but coassemble into the clusters formed by synaptophysin and synapsin in this ectopic expression system. Another vesicle membrane protein, ATG9A, undergoes activity-dependent exo-endocytosis at synapses, raising questions about the relation of ATG9A traffic to the traffic of SVs. We have found that both in fibroblasts and in nerve terminals ATG9A does not coassemble into synaptophysin-positive vesicle condensates but localizes on a distinct class of vesicles that also assembles with synapsin but into a distinct phase. Our findings suggest that ATG9A undergoes differential sorting relative to SV proteins and also point to a dual role of synapsin in controlling clustering at synapses of SVs and ATG9A vesicles

A hidden layer of structural variation in transposable elements reveals potential genetic modifiers in human disease-risk loci

Project description:Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been highly informative in discovering disease-associated loci, but are not designed to capture all structural variations in the human genome. Using long-read sequencing data, we discovered widespread structural variation within SVA (Sine-VNTR-Alu) elements, a class of great-ape specific transposable elements with gene-regulatory roles, which represents a major source of structural variability in the human population. We highlight the presence of structurally variable SVAs (SV-SVAs) in neurological disease-associated loci, and further associate SV-SVAs to disease-associated SNPs and differential gene expression using luciferase assays and expression quantitative trait loci data. Finally, we genetically deleted SV-SVAs in the BIN1 and CD2AP Alzheimer-associated risk loci and in the BCKDK Parkinson disease-associated risk locus and assessed multiple aspects of their gene-regulatory influence in a human neuronal context. Together, this study reveals a novel layer of genetic variation in transposable elements that may contribute to identification of the structural variants that are the actual drivers of disease-associations of GWAS loci.

Control of synaptic vesicle release probability via VAMP4 targeting to endolysosomes

Project description:The probability of synaptic vesicle (SV) fusion in response to an action potential, termed vesicular release probability (Pr), is a stochastic but tightly regulated process. SNARE proteins are the molecular executors of SV fusion and therefore, key modulators of Pr. The non-canonical SNARE VAMP4 is a cargo for activity-dependent bulk endocytosis (ADBE), a major SV retrieval mode operating during intense neuronal activity. Using optical imaging in primary neuronal cultures and slice electrophysiology from wild-type and VAMP4 knockout mice, we reveal that modulation of VAMP4 copy number on SVs is an important mechanism to regulate Pr. The control of VAMP4 copy number is determined by its clearance from axons via the endolysosomal system after its retrieval by ADBE. This activity-dependent regulatory mechanism enables synapses to 1) adapt their Pr dynamically to changing input and 2) couple regulation of synaptic strength to neuronal proteostasis.

A phased genome of the highly heterozygous 'Texas' almond uncovers patterns of allele-specific expression linked to heterozygous transposon insertions

Project description:The vast majority of traditional almond varieties are self-incompatible and the level of variability of the species is very high, resulting in a highly heterozygosity genome. Therefore, information on the different haplotypes is particularly relevant to understand the genetic basis of trait variability in this species. However, although reference genomes for several almond varieties exist, none of them is phased and has genome information at the haplotype level. Here we present a phased assembly of genome of the almond cv. Texas. Our analysis shows that the “Texas” genome has a high degree of heterozygosity, both as SNPs, short indels, and structural variants (SV) level. Many of the SVs are due to heterozygous Transposable Element (TE) insertions, and in many cases they also contain genic sequences. In addition to the direct consequences of this genic variability on the presence/absence of genes, our results show that variants located close to genes tend to be associated with allele-specific gene expression (ASE), which highlights the importance of heterozygous SVs in almond.

Delineation of two multi-invasion-induced rearrangement pathways that differently affect genome stability

Project description:Punctuated bursts of structural genomic variations (SVs) have been described in various organisms, but their etiology remains incompletely understood. Homologous recombination (HR) is a template-guided mechanism of repair of DNA double-strand breaks and stalled or collapsed replication forks. We recently identified a DNA break amplification and genome rearrangement pathway originating from the endonucleolytic processing of a multi-invasion (MI) DNA joint molecule formed during HR. Genome-wide sequencing approaches confirmed that multi-invasion-induced rearrangement (MIR) frequently leads to several repeat-mediated SVs and aneuploidies. Using molecular and genetic analysis, and a novel, highly sensitive proximity ligation-based assay for chromosomal rearrangement quantification, we further delineate two MIR sub-pathways. MIR1 is a universal pathway occurring in any sequence context, which generates secondary breaks and frequently leads to additional SVs. MIR2 occurs only if recombining donors exhibit substantial homology, and results in sequence insertion without additional break or SV. The most detrimental MIR1 pathway occurs late on a subset of persisting DNA joint molecules in a PCNA/Pold-independent manner, unlike recombinational DNA synthesis. This work provides a refined mechanistic understanding of these HR-based SV formation pathways and shows that complex repeat-mediated SVs can occur without displacement DNA synthesis. Sequence signatures for inferring MIR1 from long-read data are proposed.
