Project description:In Drosophila, Piwi-induced transcriptional repression is associated with the establishment of repressive chromatin marks by the histone methyltrasferase SetDB1, however how the Piwi/piRNA complex recruits this effector to chromatin targets is poorly understood. We identified a new player in piRNA-guided transcriptional silencing encoded by the Su(var)2-10 gene. Su(var)2-10 is required for transcriptional silencing and deposition of repressive chromatin marks on transposons and it physically associates with the Piwi/piRNA target recognition complex. Recruitment of Su(var)2-10 to a target locus in a piRNA-independent fashion induces transcriptional repression and deposition of the H3K9 trimethyl mark by the histone methyltransferase dSetDB1/Eggless. Su(var)2-10 belongs to a conserved family of proteins that function as SUMO E3 ligases and we found that the SUMO pathway is essential for the repressive function of Su(var)2-10 and for transcriptional repression of transposons. Together, our data identifies Su(var)2-10 as an essential component of the piRNA-induced transcriptional silencing pathway that links the target recognition complex to the silencing effector and reveals a novel role of SUMO modification in the piRNA-induced repression.

Project description:In eukaryotes, trimethylation of lysine 9 on histone H3 (H3K9) is associated with transcriptional silencing of transposable elements (TEs). In drosophila ovaries, this heterochromatic repressive mark is thought to be deposited by SetDB1 on TE genomic loci after the initial recognition of nascent transcripts by PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) loaded on the Piwi protein. Here, we show that the nucleosome remodeler Mi-2, in complex with its partner MEP-1, forms a subunit that is transiently associated, in a MEP-1 C-terminus-dependent manner, with known Piwi interactors, including a recently reported SUMO ligase Su(var)2-10. Together with the histone deacetylase Rpd3, this module is involved in the piRNA-dependent TE silencing, correlated with H3K9 deacetylation and trimethylation. Therefore. drosophila piRNA-mediated transcriptional silencing involves three epigenetic effectors, a remodeler, Mi-2, an eraser, Rpd3 and a writer, SetDB1, in addition to the Su(var)2-10 SUMO ligase.

Project description:The budding yeast E3 SUMO ligase Mms21, a component of the Smc5-6 complex, regulates sister chromatid cohesion, DNA replication, and DNA repair. We identify a role for Mms21 in ribosome biogenesis. The mms21RINGD mutant exhibits reduced rRNA production, nuclear accumulation of 60S and 40S ribosomal proteins, and elevated Gcn4 translation. Genes involved in ribosome biogenesis and translation are down-regulated in the mms21RINGD mutant.

Project description:The piRNA pathway is an adaptive mechanism for maintaining the stability of the genome by repression selfish genomic elements such as transposons. As a host defense mechanism the piRNA pathway is rapidly evolving with different sets of piRNA silencing different targets in closely-related species. In male germline of D.melanogaster, repression of Stellate genes by piRNA generated from Supressor of Stellate, Su(Ste), locus is required for male fertility, but both Su(Ste) piRNA and their targets are absent in other Drosophila species. Here we showed that D.melanogaster genome contain non-coding genomic repeats that have sequence similarity to vasa, protein-coding host gene essential for germline development. In male germline Vasa Related (Varel) repeats produce abundant piRNA that are anti-sense to vasa, however, vasa mRNA escape silencing due to imperfect complementarity between piRNA and vasa sequences. Unexpectedly, we found that Varel piRNA of D.melanogaster target vasa of closely related D. mauritana species in interspecies hybrids. The same hybrids show derepression of harmful Stellate locus due to the absence of Su(Ste) piRNA. Thus, the piRNA pathway contributes to the reproductive isolation between Drosophila species, causing hybrid male sterility via misregulation of two different host factors.

Project description:SU-DHL-5 cells display limited expression of the SUMO isopeptidase SENP6. In this experiment, the chromatin associated fraction of SU-DHL-5 cells was analysed by mass spectrometry. SU-DHL-5 cells were either stably transfected with an empty vector or with a SENP6 expression construct. Changes in protein levels were compared between these two cell lines in triplicate experiments.

Project description:Ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) are essential components of the ribosome and are among the most abundant macromolecules in the cell. To ensure high rRNA level, eukaryotic genomes contain dozens to hundreds of rDNA genes, however, only a fraction of the rRNA genes seems to be active, while others are transcriptionally silent. In Drosophila rDNA units damaged by insertions of retrotransposons are repressed by an unknown mechanism. Here, we established a new model to study regulation of rDNA expression using molecularly marked rDNA transgenes. Using this model, we show that insertion of any heterologous sequence into rDNA leads to transcriptional repression. We found that SUMO (Small Ubiquitin-like Modifier) is required for efficient repression of damaged rDNA units. Surprisingly, SUMO also controls expression of intact rDNA, demonstrating that a single pathway is responsible for both selective repression of damaged units and silencing of surplus rDNA.

Project description:Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) control transposable element (TE) activity in the germline. piRNAs are produced from single-stranded precursors transcribed from distinct genomic loci, enriched by TE fragments and termed piRNA clusters. The specific chromatin organization and transcriptional regulation of Drosophila germline-specific piRNA clusters ensure transcription and processing of piRNA precursors. TEs harbour various regulatory elements that could affect piRNA cluster integrity. One of such elements is the suppressor-of-hairy-wing (Su(Hw))-mediated insulator, which is harboured in the retrotransposon gypsy. To understand how insulators contribute to piRNA cluster activity, we studied the effects of transgenes containing gypsy insulators on local organization of endogenous piRNA clusters. We show that transgene insertions interfere with piRNA precursor transcription, small RNA production and the formation of piRNA cluster-specific chromatin, a hallmark of which is Rhino, the germline homolog of the heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1). The mutations of Su(Hw) restored the integrity of piRNA clusters in transgenic strains. Surprisingly, Su(Hw) depletion enhanced the production of piRNAs by the domesticated telomeric retrotransposon TART, indicating that Su(Hw)-dependent elements protect TART transcripts from piRNA processing machinery in telomeres. A genome-wide analysis revealed that Su(Hw)-binding sites are depleted in endogenous germline piRNA clusters, suggesting that their functional integrity is under strict evolutionary constraints.
