Project description:About one third of all angiosperm species produce flowers with petals fused into a corolla tube. As an important element of the tremendous diversity of flower morphology, the corolla tube plays a critical role in many specialized interactions between plants and animal pollinators (e.g., beeflies, hawkmoths, hummingbirds, nectar bats), which in turn drives rapid plant speciation. Despite its clear significance in plant reproduction and evolution, the corolla tube remains one of the least understood plant structures from a developmental genetics perspective. Through mutant analyses and transgenic experiments, here we show that the tasiRNA-ARF pathway is required for corolla tube formation in the monkeyflower species Mimulus lewisii. Loss-of-function mutations in the M. lewisii orthologs of ARGONAUTE7 and SUPRESSOR OF GENE SILENCING 3 cause a dramatic decrease in tasiARF abundance and a moderate up-regulation of Auxin Response Factor 3 (ARF3) and ARF4, which lead to inhibition of lateral expansion of the bases of petal primordia and complete arrest of the upward growth of the inter-primordial regions, resulting in unfused corollas. Integrating our molecular and phenotypic analyses of the tasiRNA-ARF pathway in Mimulus with historical insights from morphological and anatomical studies in various sympetalous species, we propose a new conceptual model for the developmental genetic control of corolla tube formation.

Project description:Molecular phylogenomics investigates evolutionary relationships based on genomic data. However, despite genomic sequence conservation, changes in protein interactions can occur relatively rapidly and may cause strong functional diversification. To investigate such functional evolution, we here combine phylogenomics with interaction proteomics. We develop this concept by investigating the molecular evolution of the shelterin complex, which protects telomeres, across 16 vertebrate species from zebrafish to humans covering 450 million years of evolution. Our phylointeractomics screen discovers previously unknown telomere-associated proteins and reveals how homologous proteins undergo functional evolution. For instance, we show that TERF1 evolved as a telomere-binding protein in the common stem lineage of marsupial and placental mammals. Phylointeractomics is a versatile and scalable approach to investigate evolutionary changes in protein function and thus can provide experimental evidence for phylogenomic relationships.

Project description:Bacteriophage (phage) are viruses that can kill bacteria, but also mediate gene transfer for bacterial evolution. The telomere phages are a curious form using telomere-like structures to replicate their genomes as linear extrachromosomal elements. Here we find that telomere phages are widely distributed in bacteria, being highly prevalent in Klebsiella species. We established a model system to investigate telomere phage biology and find only a small set of phage proteins are expressed in phage-host cells, including a toxin – telocin - that kills other Klebsiella strains. We identify and validate other telocins in the genomes of other, widespread Klebsiella telomere phages. Thus, telomere phages are widespread elements encoding diverse antibacterial weapons and we discuss the prospect of using telocins for precision editing of microbial populations.

Project description:Telomere is a highly refined system for maintaining the stability of linear chromosomes. Most telomeres rely on simple repetitive sequences and telomerase enzymes, but in some species or telomerase-defective situations, alternative telomere lengthening (ALT) mechanism is utilized to protect chromosomal ends. Telomere loss can induce telomere recombination by which specific sequences can be recruited into telomeres. However, canonical telomeric repeat-based telomeres have been found in mammals. Here, we show that mammalian telomeres can also be completely reconstituted using a non-telomeric unique sequence. We found that a specific subtelomeric element, named as mouse template for ALT (mTALT), is utilized for repairing telomeric DNA damage and composing new telomeric sequences in mouse embryonic stem cells. We found a high-level of non-coding mTALT transcript despite the heterochromatic nature of mTALT-based telomere. After ALT activation, the increased HMGN1, a non-histone chromosomal protein, contributed to maintaining telomere stability by regulating telomeric transcriptions. Our findings reveal novel molecular features of potential telomeric sequences which can reconstitute telomeres during cancer formation and evolution.

Project description:The centromere is essential for the inheritance of genetic information on eukaryotic chromosomes. Epigenetic regulation of centromere identity has been implicated in genome stability, karyotype evolution and speciation. However, little is known regarding the manner in which centromere dysfunction affects the chromosomal architectures. Here we show that in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the conditional deletion of the centromere produces survivors that carry either neocentromere-acquired chromosome at the sub-telomeric region or acentric chromosome rescued by inter-telomere fusion with other chromosome. The ratio of neocentromere formation to telomere fusion is considerably decreased by inactivation of genes involved in RNA interference (RNAi)-dependent heterochromatin formation. By affecting the modes of chromosomal reorganization, the genomic distribution of heterochromatin may influence the fate of karyotype evolution. Keywords: ChIP-chip

Project description:Here we identify and characterize a spontaneous mutant allele that disrupts the initiation and specification of the ovule integument in Mimulus nudatus. The mutant phenotype is characterized by the early arrest of the ovule integument or alternatively, the delayed development of a carpel-like structure in place of the integument. Additionally, medusa mutant ovule primordia fail to develop female gametophytic structures. Morphological analyses indicate that a nucellar domain is specified within the ovule and a megaspore-like cell is often specified, but that cell aborts before generating the female gametophyte. We mapped the position of the mutation to a location on Chromosome1. Mapping revealed a primary candidate gene that was a member of a family of MADS-domain containing transcription factors with sequence similarity to the Arabidopsis BEL1 gene (At5G41410) and is an orthologue of the Mimulus guttatus gene MgTOL.A0789.1. Analysis of the sequence of the Mimulus nudatus homolog (referred hereafter as MnBEL1) locus, revealed the insertion of a mitochondrial DNA genomic fragment within the MnBEL1 locus that segregated with the medusa mutant phenotype. The mitochondrial insertion sequence is predicted to disrupt the coding sequence of MnBEL1. RNA expression analysis revealed dramatically reduced levels of the expression of the MnBEL1 in gynoecia from medusa mutant plants relative to wild type sisters. RNA seq analysis revealed that the medusa mutant seedpods failed to express MnBEL1 at wildtype levels. RNA sequence data comparisons between wildtype and medusa mutant seedpods also identified a set of genes, that are expressed in wildtype seedpods, but that are expressed at very low levels or that are not detected in the medusa seed pods. Homologues of many of these genes have been previously shown to be strongly expressed in female gametophyte in Arabidopsis. This RNA seq analysis further indicates a strong developmental disruption and identifies sets of genes with expected roles in female gametophyte development in Mimulus species for further investigation. Our evidence strongly suggests that MnBEL1 is a true functional orthologue of AtBEL1. To the best of our knowledge, these studies provide the first mutational analysis of a BEL1 orthologue outside of Arabidopsis and indicate the functional conservation of this gene between Mimulus and Arabidopsis. This work also presents the first identification of a mutational event in Mimulus that is linked to an insertion of a mitochondrial sequence in the nuclear genome.

Project description:Here we found that ILF3 prefers to bind telomere R-loops and protects telomere from aberrant homologous recombination. ILF3 knockout induces TERRA aggregation onto telomere and activates telomere DNA damage response (DDR). Furthermore, ILF3 deficiency disrupts telomere homeostasis and induces abnormal ALT-mediated telomere lengthening

Project description:Telomere maintenance is indispensable for perpetuated cell division, but telomeres are not necessarily composed of a fixed sequence. Here we report the establishment of a model for alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) in which telomeres are reconstructed with an internal ALT template. Longitudinal whole-genome analyses of ALT mESCs showed that pre-amplification of the template into a telomeric region was a prerequisite for ALT activation, and that extensive copy number variations became concentrated in subtelomeric regions. Epigenomic analysis revealed the heterochromatic structure of the ALT telomeres, except for an insulator region within the ALT template. Quantitative proteomics followed by single-cell RNA-sequencing and functional assays revealed that HMGN1 protected new telomeres by regulating telomere repeat-containing RNA transcription and R loop formation in ALT mESCs. These findings implicate an evolutionarily conserved ALT mechanism driven by an internal template and provide a molecular basis underlying telomere evolution.
