The activity of the Caenorhabditis elegans Aquarius helicase EMB-4 enables the nuclear RNAi machinery to engage nascent RNA

ABSTRACT: Germline small RNA pathways initiate silencing of repetitive elements in animals and an interplay of nuclear small RNAs and chromatin modifications maintain this silencing, protecting the germline from spreading of transposable elements. In C. elegans germline, nuclear argonaute protein HRDE-1 initiates the transcriptional silencing pathway that is crucial for long term and heritable silencing of genes and repetitive regions. Here, we show that HRDE-1 interacts with components of the splicing machinery and the exon-junction complex. One such factor is the conserved RNA helicase EMB-4/AQR that binds introns and recruits the exon-junction proteins to newly spliced RNA. Our data shows that EMB-4/AQR is required for the transcriptional silencing pathway initiated by HRDE-1 and it functions by removing the intronic barriers to silencing thorugh its helicase function.

Genome-wide identification of RNA polymerase, RpoD, and RpoS binding sites in Klebsiella pneumoniae MGH 78578

Project description:Genome-wide identification of RNA polymerase (RNAP) binding sites were performed in Klebsiella pneumoniae MGH 78578 (KP). Anti-RNAP is used to capture the RNAP in KP. ChIP-chip was performed on tiling array specifically made for KP. Comparison ChIP by anti-RNAP antibody vs ChIP by normal mouse IgG (control, mock IP)

A heterochromatin specific RNA export pathway facilitates piRNA production

Project description:PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs), a class of small RNAs that guide transposon silencing in animals, are processed in the cytoplasm from RNA Polymerase II transcripts. How piRNA precursors, which often lack RNA maturation signatures and thereby violate quality control checkpoints, achieve nuclear export is unknown. Here, we uncover a germline-specific RNA export pathway in Drosophila, that escorts piRNA precursors from their heterochromatic origins to nuage, the cytoplasmic piRNA processing centres. This pathway connects canonical nuclear export factors—the RNA helicase UAP56, the NXF cofactor Nxt1/p15, and the exportin Crm1/Xpo1—with Nxf3, a variant of the mRNA exporter Nxf1/Tap. Nxf3 recruitment to nascent piRNA precursors occurs via the heterochromatin protein 1-variant Rhino and CG13741/Bootlegger, a new piRNA pathway factor, thereby making piRNA precursor export independent of RNA processing events. Thus, similar to retroviral hijacking of cellular export factors, piRNA precursor export evolved to bend canonical gene expression rules through bypassing nuclear RNA surveillance mechanisms.

IP of 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) enriched DNA fragments from control and PB treated mouse livers

Project description:5-mC is an epigenetic modification of the DNA base cytosine with roles in gene silencing events, imprinting and X inactivation. Phenobarbital (PB) is a well studied non-genotoxic carcinogen with roles in epigenetic perturbation. We profile 5mC in both control mouse livers as well as in the livers of 28 day PB treated mice. 5mC is largely found to reside in the bodies of active genes and promoter levels are perturbed upon PB induced gene activation events. 5-mC is assocated with promoters fo silent genes. Upon PB exposire a handfull of genes are induced which reveal decreases in promoter 5mC levels comparison of 5-mC profiles in 5 control and 5 PB exposed mouse livers

Systematic identification of factors involved in the silencing of germline genes in mouse embryonic stem cells

Project description:In mammals, many germline genes are repressed by epigenetic mechanisms to prevent their illegitimate expression in embryonic and somatic cells. To advance our understanding of the complete mechanisms restricting the expression of germline genes in mammals, we analyzed the chromatin signature of germline genes and performed a genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 knock-out screen for genes involved in germline gene repression using a reporter system in which GFP is under the control of the epigenetically repressed Dazl germline promoter in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs). We showed that the repression of germline genes mainly depends on the polycomb complex PRC1.6 and DNA methylation, which function additively in mouse ESCs. Furthermore, we identified and validated several novel genes involved in the repression of germline genes, and characterized three of them: Usp7, Shfm1 (also known as Sem1) and Erh. Inactivation of Usp7, Shfm1 or Erh led to the upregulation of germline genes, as well as retrotransposons for Shfm1, in mouse ESCs. Functionally, Usp7 acts at two levels: firstly it associates with PRC1.6 components and represses germline genes independently of DNA methylation, and secondly it facilitates DNA methylation deposition at germline genes for long term repression. In summary, our study provides a global view of the epigenetic mechanisms and novel factors required for silencing germline genes in embryonic cells.
