Project description:Small RNAs exert an effect through diverse RNA interference pathways to transcriptionally or post-transcriptionally silence their targets. The Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) represent a germline-specific small RNA pathway where Piwi proteins themselves are thought to mediate piRNA biosynthesis. Here, we provide strong evidence for a piRNA amplification loop in zebrafish, in which Ziwi and Zili bind piRNAs of opposite polarity. Furthermore, we describe a function for Zili in transposon defense and germ cell differentiation, as well as a crucial function in meiosis, significantly extending the function of Piwi proteins beyond the control of transposable elements in vertebrates.

Project description:PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are germline-specific small RNAs that form effector complexes with PIWI proteins (Piwi–piRNA complexes), and plays a critical role for preserving genomic integrity by repressing transposable elements (TEs). Drosophila Piwi transcriptionally silences specific targets through heterochromatin formation, and increases H3K9me3 and histone H1. Additionally, Nxf2, a nuclear RNA export factor variant, has been identified as a co-factor. Using ChEP and DamID-seq, we uncover Piwi/Nxf2-dependent target association with nuclear lamins. Hi-C analysis of Piwi or Nxf2 depleted cells reveals decreased intra-TAD and increased inter-TAD interaction in regions harboring Piwi–piRNA target TEs. Using a forced tethering system, we analyze the functional effects of Piwi–piRNA/Nxf2-mediated recruitment of piRNA target regions to the nuclear periphery. Removal of active histone marks is followed by transcriptional silencing, chromatin conformational changes, and H3K9me3 and H1 association. Our data show that the Piwi–piRNA pathway can induce stepwise changes in nuclear architecture and chromatin state at target loci for transcriptional silencing.

Project description:In order to control transposable element (TE) activity, PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) have been evolved to silence TE transcriptionally and post-transcriptionally, and produced from heterochromatic genomic loci, called piRNA cluster. Maternal inherited piRNAs transmission is considered as the key step of piRNA cluster maintenance and induction of de nove piRNA cluster formation, however, how the original piRNAs were produced without maternal piRNAs deposition remains unclear. In this paper, we created a repetitive GFP reporter and found a Rhino-dependent piRNA cluster conversion spontaneously occurs to the reporter over generations. Importantly, this conversion is reversible by removal of maternal piRNAs of GFP reporter. Taking advantage of this reversible GFP reporter piRNA cluster, we found that siRNA is able to initiate piRNA cluster formation epigenetically, even when only maternal siRNA presence is capable to do so. Our results suggest the importance of siRNA on initiation of piRNA biogenesis and describe a whole picture of initiation and maintenance of piRNA cluster.

Project description:The Piwi–piRNA complex (Piwi–piRISC) in Drosophila ovarian somatic cells represses transposons transcriptionally to maintain genome integrity; however, the underlying mechanisms remain obscure. We performed mRNA-seq analysis from OSCs transfected with siRNAs against CG3893, the known piRNA pathway genes, Piwi, Maelstrom, HP1a and Armitage, and the control (EGFP), and PolII ChIP-seqanalysis from OSCs transfected with siRNAs against CG3893, Piwi, Mael and the control (EGFP). This result indicates that CG3893 is a novel factor for primary piRNA pathway in OSCs.

Project description:In the fetal mouse testis, PIWI Interacting RNAs (piRNAs) guide PIWI proteins to silence transposons, but after birth, most post-pubertal pachytene piRNAs map to genome uniquely and are thought to regulate genes required for male fertility. In human males, the developmental classes, precise genomic origins, and transcriptional regulation of post-natal piRNAs remain undefined. Here, we demarcate the genes and transcripts that produce post-natal piRNAs in human juvenile and adult testes. As in mouse, A‑MYB in humans drives transcription of both pachytene piRNA precursor transcripts and the mRNAs encoding piRNA biogenesis factors. Although human piRNA genes are syntenic to those in other placental mammals, their sequences are poorly conserved. In fact, pachytene piRNA loci are rapidly diverging even among modern humans. Our findings suggest that during mammalian evolution, pachytene piRNA genes are under fewer selective constraints. We speculate that pachytene piRNA diversity may provide a hitherto unrecognized driver of reproductive isolation.

Project description:Introgressed variants from other species can be an important source of genetic variation because they may arise rapidly, can include multiple mutations on a single haplotype, and have often been pretested by selection in the species of origin. Although introgressed alleles are generally deleterious, several studies have reported introgression as the source of adaptive alleles-including the rodenticide-resistant variant of Vkorc1 that introgressed from Mus spretus into European populations of Mus musculus domesticus. Here, we conducted bidirectional genome scans to characterize introgressed regions into one wild population of M. spretus from Spain and three wild populations of M. m. domesticus from France, Germany, and Iran. Despite the fact that these species show considerable intrinsic postzygotic reproductive isolation, introgression was observed in all individuals, including in the M. musculus reference genome (GRCm38). Mus spretus individuals had a greater proportion of introgression compared with M. m. domesticus, and within M. m. domesticus, the proportion of introgression decreased with geographic distance from the area of sympatry. Introgression was observed on all autosomes for both species, but not on the X-chromosome in M. m. domesticus, consistent with known X-linked hybrid sterility and inviability genes that have been mapped to the M. spretus X-chromosome. Tract lengths were generally short with a few outliers of up to 2.7 Mb. Interestingly, the longest introgressed tracts were in olfactory receptor regions, and introgressed tracts were significantly enriched for olfactory receptor genes in both species, suggesting that introgression may be a source of functional novelty even between species with high barriers to gene flow.

Project description:PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are genomically-encoded small RNAs that regulate germ cell development and guarantee germline integrity. Mature piRNAs engage Piwi Argonaute proteins to silence complementary transcripts, including transposable elements and endogenous genes. To date, piRNA biogenesis mechanisms are still unclear. Here, we show that the RNA Polymerase II subunit RPB-9 is required to promote transcription elongation at piRNA loci. Through genetic and biochemical experiments, we demonstrate that rpb-9-mediated piRNA production is needed to repress two DNA transposon families and a subset of somatic genes in the C. elegans germline.

Project description:In Drosophila, Piwi proteins use guide piRNAs to repress selfish genomic elements, protecting the genomic integrity of gametes and ensuring the fertility of animal species. Efficient transposon repression depends on amplification of piRNA guides in the ping-pong cycle, which in Drosophila entails tight cooperation between two Piwi proteins, Aub and Ago3. Here we show that post-translational modification, symmetric dimethylarginine (sDMA), of Aub is essential for piRNA biogenesis, transposon silencing and fertility. Methylation is triggered by loading of a piRNA guide into Aub, which exposes its unstructured N-terminal region to the PRMT5 methylosome complex. Thus, sDMA modification is a signal that Aub is loaded with piRNA guide. Amplification of piRNA in the ping-pong cycle requires assembly of a tertiary complex scaffolded by Krimper, which simultaneously binds the N-terminal regions of Aub and Ago3. To promote generation of new piRNA, Krimp uses its two Tudor domains to bind Aub and Ago3 in opposite modification and piRNA-loading states. Our results reveal essential functions of post-translational modifications in unstructured regions of Piwi proteins and of Tudor domains capable of discriminating between modification states in piRNA biogenesis and silencing.
