Project description:Suppressing spurious cryptic transcription by a repressive intragenic chromatin state featuring trimethylated lysine 36 on histone H3 (H3K36me3) and DNA methylation is critical for maintaining self-renewal capacity in mouse embryonic stem cells. In yeast and nematodes, such cryptic transcription is elevated with age, and reducing the levels of age-associated cryptic transcription extends yeast lifespan. Whether cryptic transcription is also increased during mammalian aging is unknown. We show for the first time an age-associated elevation in cryptic transcription in several stem cell populations, including murine hematopoietic stem cells (mHSCs) and neuronal stem cells (NSCs) and human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). Using DECAP-seq, we mapped and quantified age-associated cryptic transcription in hMSCs aged in vitro. Regions with significant age-associated cryptic transcription have a unique chromatin signature: decreased H3K36me3 and increased H3K4me1, H3K4me3, and H3K27ac with age. Furthermore, genomic regions undergoing such age-dependent chromatin changes resemble known promoter sequences and are bound by the promoter-associated protein TBP even in young cells. Hence, the more permissive chromatin state at intragenic cryptic promoters likely underlies the increase of cryptic transcription in aged mammalian stem cells.

Project description:Maintaining transcriptional fidelity is essential for precise gene regulation and genome stability. Despite this, cryptic antisense transcription, occurring opposite to canonical coding sequences, is a pervasive feature across all domains of life. How such potentially harmful cryptic sites are regulated remains incompletely understood. Here, we show that nucleosome arrays within gene bodies play a key role in suppressing cryptic transcription. Using the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe as a model, we demonstrate that CHD1-family chromatin remodelers coordinate with the transcription elongation machinery, specifically the PAF complex, to position nucleosomes at sites of cryptic transcription initiation within gene bodies. In the absence of CHD1, AT-rich sequences within gene bodies lose nucleosome occupancy, exposing promoter-like sequences that drive cryptic initiation. While cryptic transcription is generally detrimental, we identify a subset of antisense transcripts that encode critical meiotic genes, suggesting that cryptic transcription can also serve as a source of regulatory innovation. These findings underscore the essential role of nucleosome remodelers in maintaining transcriptional fidelity and reveal their broader contributions to cellular homeostasis and evolutionary adaptability.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of larval epidermis at specific markings were examined using 11 developmental stages. Gene expression level was compared between mimetic white, cryptic thorax, and cryptic abdomen vs. mimetic black, cryptic eyespot, and cryptic V-shaped markings in all stages. For initial screening of marking-specific genes, 6 developmental stages for mimetic pattern, and 5 developmental stages for cryptic pattern was used. Mimetic white, cryptic thorax, and cryptic abdomen were independently labelled with Cyanine 3-CTP (Cy3), and mimetic black, cryptic eyespot, and cryptic V-shaped markings were independently labelled with Cyanine 5-CTP (Cy5) in all stages.
