Project description:DNA methylation is an important regulator of genome function in the eukaryotes, but it is currently unclear if the same is true in prokaryotes. While regulatory functions have been demonstrated for a small number of bacteria, there have been no large-scale studies of prokaryotic methylomes and the full repertoire of targets and biological functions of DNA methylation remains unclear. Here we applied single-molecule, real-time sequencing to directly study the methylomes of 232 phylogenetically diverse prokaryotes. Collectively, we identified 834 methylated motifs, enabling the specific annotation of 415 DNA methyltransferases (MTases), and adding substantially to existing databases of MTase specificities. While the majority of MTases function as components of restriction-modification systems, 139 MTases have no cognate restriction enzyme in the genome, suggesting some other functional role. Several of these âorphanâ MTases are conserved across species and exhibit patterns of DNA methylation consistent with known regulatory MTases. Based on these patterns of methylation, we identify candidate novel regulators of gene expression in several phyla of bacteria, and candidate regulators of DNA replication in Haloarchaea. Together these data substantially advance our knowledge of DNA restriction-modification systems, and hint at a wider role for methylation in prokaryotic genome regulation. Single-molecule, real-time sequencing of DNA modifications across 232 diverse prokaryotic genomes.

Project description:DNA methylation acts in concert with restriction enzymes to protect the integrity of prokaryotic genomes. Studies in a limited number of organisms suggest that methylation also contributes to prokaryotic genome regulation, but the prevalence and properties of such non-restriction-associated methylation systems remain poorly understood. Here, we used single molecule, real-time sequencing to map DNA modifications including m6A, m4C, and m5C across the genomes of 230 diverse bacterial and archaeal species. We observed DNA methylation in nearly all (93%) organisms examined, and identified a total of 834 distinct reproducibly methylated motifs. This data enabled annotation of the DNA binding specificities of 620 DNA Methyltransferases (MTases), doubling known specificities for previously hard to study Type I, IIG and III MTases, and revealing their extraordinary diversity. Strikingly, 48% of organisms harbor active Type II MTases with no apparent cognate restriction enzyme. These active 'orphan' MTases are present in diverse bacterial and archaeal phyla and show motif specificities and methylation patterns consistent with functions in gene regulation and DNA replication. Our results reveal the pervasive presence of DNA methylation throughout the prokaryotic kingdoms, as well as the diversity of sequence specificities and potential functions of DNA methylation systems.

Project description:Aging is a universal biological phenomenon linked to many diseases, such as cancer or neurodegeneration. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying aging, or how lifestyle interventions such as cognitive stimulation can ameliorate this process, are yet to be clarified. Here, we performed a multi-omic profiling, including RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, ChIP-seq, EM-seq, SWATH-MS and single cell Multiome scRNA and scATAC-seq, in the dorsal hippocampus of young and old mouse subjects which were subject to cognitive stimulation using the paradigm of environmental enrichment. In this study we were able to describe the epigenomic landscape of aging and cognitive stimulation.

Project description:Histone modification maps of H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 of meiocytes were obtained by microlibrary and high-throughput sequencing by extracting meiocytes from rice varieties Azucena and IR64. And the DNA methylation results of meiocytes and flag-leaf of Azucena and IR64 were obtained. By collating this data, the male meiocyte-specific epigenomic landscape is constructed
