Project description:Centromeres are functionally conserved chromosomal loci essential for proper chromosome segregation during cell division, yet they show high sequence diversity across species. A near universal feature of centromeres is the presence of repetitive sequences, such as satellites and transposable elements (TEs). Because of their rapidly evolving karyotypes, gibbons represent a compelling model to investigate divergence of functional centromere sequences across short evolutionary timescales. Previously, we identified a novel composite retrotransposon, LAVA, that is exclusive to gibbons and expanded within the centromere regions of one gibbon genus, Hoolock. In this study, we use ChIP-seq, RNA-seq and fluorescence in situ hybridization to comprehensively investigate the repeat content of centromeres of the four extant gibbon genera (Hoolock, Hylobates, Nomascus and Siamang). We find that CENP-A nucleosomes and the DNA-protein interface with the inner kinetochore are enriched in retroelements in all gibbon genera, rather than satellite DNA. We find that LAVA in Hoolock is enriched in the centromeres of most chromosomes and shows centromere- and species-specific sequence and structural differences compared to other genera, potentially as a result of its co-option to a centromeric function. In contrast, we found that a centromeric retroelement-derived macrosatellite, SST1, corresponds with chromosome breakpoint reuse across gibbons and shows high sequence conservation across genera. Finally, using de novo assembly of centromere-specific sequences, we determine that transcripts originating from gibbon centromeres recapitulate species-specific TE diversity. Combined, our data reveals dynamic, species-specific shifts in repeat content that define gibbon centromeres and coincide with the extensive karyotypic diversity observed within this lineage.

Project description:Centromeres play an essential role in cell division by specifying the site of kinetochore formation on each chromosome so that chromosomes can attach to the mitotic spindle for segregation. Centromeres are defined epigenetically by the histone H3 variant CEntromere Protein A (CENP-A). Dividing cells maintain the centromere by depositing new CENP-A each cell cycle to replenish CENP-A diluted by replication. The CENP-A nucleosome serves as the primary signal to the machinery responsible for its replenishment. Vertebrate centromeres are frequently built on repetitive sequences organized in tandem arrays. Repetitive centromeric DNA has been suggested to play a role in centromere maintenance and in de novo centromere formation, but this has been difficult to dissect because of the difficulty in manipulating centromere in cells. Extracts from Xenopus laevis eggs are able to assemble centromeres and kinetochores in vitro and thus provide a useful system for studying the role of centromeric DNA in centromere formation. However centromeric sequences in X. laevis have not been extensively characterized.. In this study we characterize repeat sequences found at X. laevis centromeres. We utilize a k-mer based approach in order to uncover the previously unknown diversity of X. laevis centromeric sequences. We validate centromere localization of repeat sequences by in situ hybridization and identify the location of the centromeric repetitive array on each chromosome by mapping the distribution of centromere enriched k-mers on the Xenopus genome. Our identification of X. laevis centromere sequences enables previously unapproachable genomic studies of centromeres. The k-mer based approach that we used to investigate centromeric repetitive DNA is suitable for the analysis of other repetitive sequences found across the genome or the study of repeats in other organisms.

Project description:Astrocytes and neurons coexist and interact in the CNS1,2. Given that many signaling and pathological events are protein-driven, identifying astrocyte and neuron proteomes is essential for elucidating the complex protein networks that dictate their respective contributions to physiology and disease. Here, we used cell- and subcompartment-specific proximity-dependent biotinylation3 to study the proteomes of striatal astrocytes and medium spiny neurons (MSNs) in vivo. We evaluated cytosolic and plasma membrane compartments for astrocytes and MSNs, revealing how these cells differ at the protein level and in their core signaling machinery. We assessed subcellular compartments of astrocytes including end feet and processes to reveal the molecular basis of essential astrocyte signaling and homeostatic functions. Unexpectedly, SAPAP3 proteins (gene; Dlgap3) associated with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and repetitive behaviors4-11 were detected at equivalent levels in striatal astrocyte and MSN plasma membrane and cytosolic compartments. Astrocytic expression was confirmed by RNA-seq, fluorescence in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry. Furthermore, genetic rescue experiments combined with behavioral analyses and proteomics in a mouse model4 of OCD lacking SAPAP3 revealed contributions of SAPAP3 in astrocytes and MSNs to repetitive and anxiety-related OCD behaviors. Our data define how astrocytes and neurons differ at the protein level and in their major signaling pathways, how astrocyte proteomes vary between physiological subcompartments, and how specific astrocyte and neuronal molecular mechanisms contribute to a psychiatric disease. Targeting both astrocytes and neurons together is likely to be therapeutically effective in complex CNS disorders.
