Project description:Chromatin conformation capture assays, such as 3C and Hi-C, allow for studies of three-dimensional (3D) genome structures in bulk samples through proximity ligation of DNA. However, the difference between cells can only be observed by single-cell measurements that avoid ensemble averaging3, 4,5. To study 3D chromatin organization and dynamics before and after fertilization in flowering plants, we analyzed the 3D genomes of rice egg, sperm, and unicellular zygote as well as shoot cells. We show that chromatin architectures of rice egg and sperm are comparable to that of somatic cells and are reorganized after fertilization in unicellular zygote. The rice single cell 3D genomes display specific features of chromosome compartments and configuration of telomeres/centromeres compared to those shown in mammalian single cells. Active and silent chromatin domains gather to form multiple foci in the nuclear space. Notably, the 3D genomes of egg, unicellular zygote, and shoot cells contain a compact silent center (CSC), which is absent in sperm. CSC is dynamically reorganized after fertilization and is likely to be involved in gene regulation related to zygotic genome activation (ZGA). Our results reveal specific 3D genome features of plant gametes and unicellular zygote and provide a spatial chromatin basis for ZGA and gene expression in plant.

Project description:Fertilization constitutes a critical step in the plant life cycle during which the gamete genomes undergo reprogramming in preparation for embryogenesis. However, it is unclear whether and how DNA methylation that epigenetically regulates gene expression is reprogramed during fertilization. Here, we characterized DNA methylation patterns and investigated the function of DNA glycosylases in rice eggs, sperms and unicellular zygotes. We found that DNA methylation is extensively reprogramed at non-CG sites in euchromatin regions upon fertilization, which intensifies during early embryogenesis. Genetic and genomic analysis revealed that rice DNA glycosylase genes DNG702, DNG701 and DNG704 demethylate at distinct and complementary loci in egg, sperm, and zygote genomes and are required for zygotic gene expression and development. The results indicate that active demethylation takes place in the gametes and the zygote to reprogram DNA methylation and zygotic genome activation in plant.

Project description:In angiosperms, female gamete differentiation, fertilization, and subsequent zygotic development occur in embryo sacs deeply embedded in the ovaries. Despite their importance in plant reproduction and development, how the egg cell is specialized, fuses with the sperm cell, and converts into an active zygote for early embryogenesis remains unclear. This lack of knowledge is partly attributable to the difficulty of direct analyses of gametes in angiosperms. In this study, proteins from egg and sperm cells obtained from Oryza sativa flowers were separated by one-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and globally identified by highly sensitive liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectroscopy. Proteome analyses were also conducted for seedlings, callus, and pollen grains to compare their protein expression profiles to those of gametes. Database was searched using Mascot software (ver.2.2.1, Matrix Science, MA, USA) with the following parameters. The fixed modification was propionasmide (Cys) and variable modification parameters were pyro-Glu, acetylation (protein N-terminus), and oxidation (Met). The maximum missed cleavage was set at 3 with a peptide mass tolerance of +/– 15 ppm. Peptide charges from +2 to +4 states and MS/MS tolerances of +/– 0.8 Da were allowed.

Project description:Egg cells represent the female partner that fuses with the sperm cell during fertilization in all multi-cellular eukaryotic organisms—and, in flowering plants, is a founder of the embryo. We examined the transcriptome of Oryza sativa ssp. japonica (cv Katy) using the Affymetrix 57K rice genome GeneChip to provide an overview of genes activated in the maternal gamete, transcripts transmitted by the paternal genome, and changes in transcript up- and down-regulation during fertilization. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression in the egg cell at anthesis, complementing prior data on the male germ lineage, and following gene expression during fertilization and gamete fusion.

Project description:Chlamydomonas reinhardtii provides an important model to study sexual reproduction in a unicellular context. Its sexual cycle culminates in the formation of diploid zygotes which differentiate into dormant spores that eventually undergo meiosis. Mating between haploid plus and minus gametes induces rapid cell wall shedding via the enzyme g-Lysin; cell fusion is followed by by heterodimerization of sex-specific homeobox transcription factors, Gsm1 and Gsp1, and initiation of zygote-specific gene expression. Developing zygotes secrete novel cell-wall materials that create multicellular aggregates called pellicle. To investigate the genetic underpinnings of zygote differentiation, we performed comparative transcriptome analysis of both pre- and post-mating samples. We identified 253 genes specifically enriched in early zygotes, 92% of which are not expressed in gsp1 null zygotes, indicating that the Gsm1/Gsp1 heterodimer is the main activator of the early zygote program. A cohort of genes induced by g-Lysin is shown to be negatively regulated in early zygotes at the post-transcriptional level in a Gsm1/Gsp1-dependent manner, enabling prompt transition to zygotic wall assembly.

Project description:The goal of the present study is to analyze the characteristics of maternal to zygotic transition (MZT) in Arabidopsis. The maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT) is an essential developmental turning point during the alternation of generations in both plants and animals. In animals, early embryogenesis is maternally controlled and zygotic genome activation (ZGA) starts much later. However, in plants, the timing of MZT and parental contributions to the zygotic transcriptome remain unclear. To address above mentioned questions, we selected Arabidopsis as model plant for the analysis. Regarding to the characteristics of MZT, egg cells, embryos including spherical zygote, elongated zygote, 1-cell embryo and 32-cell embryo were isolated and collected for RNA sequencing. Hybrid zygotes at two representative stages from the reciprocal crosses between polymorphic Arabidopsis Columbia (Col) and Landsberg erecta (Ler) accessions were also sequenced for investigating the parental contributions. We demonstrate that plant MZT occurs during the zygote stage and is a two-step process, first involving rapid maternal transcript degradation and, second, large-scale de novo transcription. Parental contributions to the zygotic transcriptome are stage dependent over the course of zygote development; the spherical zygote is characterized by a maternally dominated transcriptome, whereas the elongated zygote genome shows equal parental contributions.

Project description:Here we describe a lariat-sequencing approach, which offers high sensitivity for detecting splicing events, and its application to the unicellular fungus, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, an organism that shares many of the hallmarks of alternative splicing in mammalian systems but for which no previous examples of exon-skipping had been demonstrated. Over 200 previously unannotated splicing events were identified, including examples of regulated alternative splicing. Total RNA from ∆dbr1 S. pombe grown under 41 different conditions, pooled, then run under two-dimensional gel electrophoresis to separate linear from circular RNA. Circular RNA was excised and prepared as a single-end barcoded Illumina sequencing library.
