Project description:Targeting transcription replication conflicts, a major source of endogenous DNA double stranded breaks and genomic instability, could have important therapeutic implications. When transcription and DNA replication machineries encounter each other on chromosomes, one way to resolve the conflict is temporarily dislodging RNA polymerase II from the conflict sites to enable the replication fork to proceed. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), an essential component of replisomes, plays a critical role in this process. We discovered a small molecule ligand (AOH1996) of PCNA, which targets a binding pocket adjacent to the outer surface region of PCNA known to interact with PIP box and APIM motif proteins. Orally administrable, AOH1996 suppresses tumor growth but causes no discernable side effects. In addition, we found that AOH1996 treatment can stabilize interaction between PCNA and RPB1, the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II. To determine whether the effect of AOH1996 is mediated through affecting PCNA interaction with RPB1, we mutated Y418 within the APIM motif of RPB1 to an alanine in the SK-N-AS cell line by CRISPR and compared changes in protein expression profiles caused by AOH1996 in the parent and mutant SK-N-AS cells.

Project description:Intralocus sexual conflict, where males and females have different fitness optima for the same trait, has been suggested to potentially be resolved by genomic imprinting, whereby expression in offspring is altered according to parent-of-origin. However, this idea has not yet been empirically tested. Here, we designed an experimental evolution protocol in Drosophila melanogaster which enabled us to look for imprinting effects on the X-chromosome. We enforced father-to-son transmission of the X-chromosome for many generations, and compared fitness and gene expression levels between control males, males with a control X-chromosome that had undergone one generation of father-son transmission (CDX), and males with an X-chromosome that had undergone many generations of father-son transmission (MLX). Although fitness differences were consistent with lowered fitness of males with a paternally inherited X-chromosome, expression differences suggested that this was due to deleterious maternal effects rather than imprinting. We conclude that imprinting is unlikely to resolve intralocus sexual conflict in Drosophila melanogaster. 18 samples were analyzed. There were 3 replicate populations within each of 3 treatments (Control, CDX, and MLX), and two males were analyzed from each population, for a total of 18 males.

Project description:Kin selection may act differently on genes inherited from the two parents (matrigenes and patrigenes), resulting in intragenomic conflict. This conflict can be observed as differential expression of matrigenes and patrigenes, or parent specific gene expression (PSGE). In honey bees (Apis mellifera), intragenomic conflict is hypothesized to occur in multiple social contexts. Previously, we found patrigene expression in reproductive tissues was associated with increased reproductive potential in worker honey bees, consistent with the prediction that patrigenes are selected to promote selfish behavior in this context. Here, we examined brain expression patterns to determine if PSGE is also found in other tissues. As before, the number of transcripts showing patrigene expression bias was significantly greater in the brains of reproductive versus sterile workers, while the number of matrigene-biased transcripts was not significantly different. Twelve transcripts out of the 374 showing PSGE in either tissue showed PSGE in both brain and reproductive tissues; this overlap was significantly greater than expected by chance. However, the majority of transcripts showed PSGE only in one tissue, suggesting the epigenetic mechanisms mediating PSGE show plasticity between tissues. There was no significant overlap between transcripts that showed PSGE and transcripts that were significantly differentially expressed. Weighted gene correlation network analysis identified modules which were significantly enriched in both types of transcripts, suggesting that these genes may influence each other through gene networks. Our results provide further support for the kin selection theory of intragenomic conflict, and provide valuable insights into the mechanisms which may mediate this process.

Project description:The prevalence of some autoimmune diseases (AID) is greater in females compared with males, notwithstanding that disease severity is often greater in males. The reason for this sexual dimorphism (SD) is unknown, but may reflect negative selection of Y chromosome (ChrY) bearing sperm during spermatogenesis or male fetuses early in the course of conception/pregnancy. Previously, we showed that the SD in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is associated with copy number variation (CNV) in ChrY multicopy genes. Here, we test the hypothesis that CNV in ChrY multicopy genes influences the paternal parent-of-origin effect on EAE susceptibility in female mice. We show that C57BL/6J consomic strains of mice possessing an identical ChrX and CNV in ChrY multicopy genes exhibit a female biased sex-ratio and sperm head abnormalities, consistent with X-Y intragenomic conflict arising from an imbalance in CNV between homologous ChrX:ChrY multicopy genes. These males also display paternal transmission of EAE to female offspring and differential loading of miRNAs within the sperm nucleus. These findings provide evidence for a genetic mechanism at the level of the male gamete that contributes to the SD in EAE and paternal parent-of-origin effects in female mice, raising the possibility that a similar mechanism may contribute to the SD in MS. Three biological replicates for each strain were pooled from the axillary, brachial, and inguinal lymph nodes from 5 mice for each replicate. RNA was isolated from CD4+TCRB+ FAC sorted cells.

Project description:Gene expression in endosperm – a seed tissue that mediates transfer of maternal resources to offspring – is under complex epigenetic control. We show here that plant-specific RNA Polymerase IV mediates parental control of endosperm gene expression. Pol IV is required for the production of small interfering RNAs that typically direct DNA methylation. We compared small RNAs, DNA methylation, and mRNAs in A. thaliana endosperm from reciprocal heterozygotes produced by crossing wild-type plants to Pol IV mutants. We find that maternally and paternally acting Pol IV have divergent effects on endosperm. Losses of maternal and paternal Pol IV impact sRNAs and DNA methylation at distinct genomic sites. Strikingly, maternally and paternally-acting Pol IV have antagonistic impacts on gene expression at some loci, divergently promoting or repressing endosperm gene expression. Antagonistic parent-of origin effects have only rarely been described and are consistent with a gene regulatory system evolving under parental conflict
