Project description:Purpose: Determine whether sex-determining genes are bivalent at the bipotential stage, poised between the testis and ovary fate, and whether H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 resolve into sex-specific patterns after sex determination, contributing to the canalization and stabilization of either the testis or ovary fate. Methods: XX and XY supporting cells of the gonad were FACS-purified before sex determination (at E10.5) and after sex determination (at E13.5), and submitted to ChIP-seq for H3K4me3, H3K27me3 and H3 as a means to normalize across cell populations. Results: We found that key sex-determining genes are bivalent at the bipotential stage. Genes that are upregulated affter sex determination are stripped of their repressive H3K27me3 mark, whereas repressed genes that promote the alternate pathway remain bivalent even after sex determination.

Project description:Purpose: In this study we employed unbiased, genome-wide techniques to identify regulatory elements during murine sex determination. Methods: We performed ATAC-seq on 60K FACS-purified XX and XY gonadal cells before and after sex determination to map nucleosome depleted regions (NDRs) indicative of regulatory elements. To determine whether these are active enhancers, we performed ChIP-seq for H3K27ac, a histone modification that marks active enhancers in both sexes and time points. Transient transgenics was performed on select enhancers to determine whether they are functional in gonads during the sex determination stage. Results: We have produced a genome wide map of potential regulatory elements and active enhancers during the process of murine sex determination. Furthermore, we validated the power of our dataset by identifying a novel enhancer downstream of Bmp2, a female-specific gene. Conclusions: This work supplies a powerful resource for identifying chromatin regulatory elements active during mammalian sex determination.

Project description:Sex determination is the process by which and original bipotential gonad differentiate into either a testis or ovaries. While mammals and birds determine their sex solely by genetic clues (genetic sex determination, GSD), other vertebrates like the turtle Trachemys scripta are influenced by environmental factors, like temperature (environmental sex determination, ESD). In both cases an initially bipotential gonad develops into either testes or ovaries in response to GSD or ESD cues. In order to shed light into the differences and similarities between sex determination systems we performed single-cell RNA-seq on Trachemys scripta developing gonads during the sex determination window.

Project description:The Salicaceae family is of growing interest in the study of dioecy in plants because the sex determination region (SDR) has been shown to be highly dynamic, with differing locations and heterogametic systems across taxa. Previous studies investigating the mechanisms regulating sex in the genus Salix have been limited to genome resequencing and differential expression, which are mostly descriptive in nature, and functional validation of candidate sex determination genes has not been conducted. Here we use functional analysis to test a suite of previously identified candidate genes involved in sex determination and sex dimorphism in the bioenergy shrub willow Salix purpurea. Six candidate master regulator genes for sex determination were overexpressed in Arabidopsis, followed by floral proteome analysis. Eleven transcription factors with predicted roles in mediating sex dimorphism downstream of the SDR were tested using DAP-Seq in both male and female S. purpurea DNA. The results of this study provide further evidence to support models for the roles of ARR17 and GATA15 as master regulator genes of sex determination in S. purpurea, contributing to a regulatory system that is notably different from that of the related genus Populus. Two transcription factors, an AP2/ERF family gene and a homeodomain-like transcription factor, have evidence supporting roles in downstream regulation of sex dimorphism.

Project description:Although sex determination is a fundamental process in vertebrate development, it is very plastic. Diverse genes became major sex determinants in teleost fishes. Deciphering how individual sex-determining genes orchestrate sex determination can reveal new actors in sexual development. Here, we demonstrate that the Y-chromosomal copy of the TGF-β family member gdf6 (gdf6Y) in Nothobranchius furzeri, an emerging model organism in aging research, gained the function of the male sex determinant through allelic diversification while retaining the skeletal developmental function shared with the X-chromosomal gdf6 allele (gdf6X). Concerning sex determination, gdf6Y is expressed by somatic supporting cells of the developing testes. There it induces the male sex in a germ cell-independent manner in contrast to sex determination in zebrafish and the medaka. Looking for downstream effectors of Gdf6Y, we identified besides TGF-β signaling modulators, especially the inhibitor of DNA binding genes id1/2/3, the mRNA decay activator zfp36l2 as a new GDF6 signaling target.
