Project description:The centromere is the chromosomal site for assembly of the kinetochore where spindle fibers attach during cell division. In most muticellular eukaryotes, centromeres are composed of long tracks of satellite repeats that are recalcitrant to sequencing and fine scale genetic mapping. Here we report the genomic and genetic characterization of the complete centromere of rice chromosome 3. Using a DNA fiber-fluorescence in situ hybridization approach, we demonstrated that the centromere of chromosome 3 (Cen3) contains ~414 kb of the centromeric satellite repeat CentO. Cen3 includes a ~1,851-kb domain associated with CENH3, the centromere-specific histone H3 variant. This CENH3-associated chromatin domain is embedded within a 3,083-kb region that lacks genetic recombination. We detected several active genes within the CENH3-binding domain based on a comprehensive annotation and a survey for matches with mRNA signatures. However, the gene density in the CENH3-binding domain is significantly lower than in the pericentromeric domains. In contrast, the CENH3-binding domain contains a higher percentage of repetitive DNA sequences than the pericentromeric regions. These results suggest that Cen3 is in the process of evolving from a genic region toward an accumulation of satellite repeats and transposable elements that is more characteristic of centromeres in most complex eukaryotic species.

MPSS was performed to sequence small RNAs that derived from 16 untreated and 6 abiotic-treated diverse tissue libraries. The method for the MPSS sequencing of mRNAs is described in Brenner et al. (Nat Biotechnol. 2000 18:630).

Project description:The centromere is defined by the presence of a centromere-specific histone H3 variant, CENH3. Establishment and maintenance of the centromeric chromatin (CEN chromatin) is determined by poorly understood epigenetic mechanisms. Interestingly, CEN chromatin in several eukaryotes showed euchromatic characteristics although being embedded within pericentromeric heterochromatin. Specifically, H3K4me2 appeared to be a unique histone modification mark associated with animal centromeres. We developed a genomic tiling array for four fully sequenced rice centromeres. A ChIP-chip approach was used to study the patterns of several euchromatic histone modification marks, including H3K4me2, H3K4me3, H3K36me3, and H3K4K9a, associated with rice centromeres. We demonstrate that the CENH3 subdomains within the four centromeres are depleted with the four histone H3 marks. The vast majority of the four histone marks were associated with the genes located in the H3 subdomains within the centromeric cores. Genes in the centromeres showed similar histone modification patterns as those located outside of the centromeres. Thus, the euchromatic characteristics of rice CEN chromatin are trademarks of the transcribed sequences embedded in the H3 subdomains of the centromeres. We propose that the constitutively expressed genes located in rice centromeres may provide a barrier for loading of CENH3 into the H3 subdomains. The separation of CENH3 into the H3 subdomains is favorable for the three dimensional structure and its associated function of rice centromeres.

Project description:Transposable elements (TEs) are genomic parasites that constitute the most abundant portions of higher plant genomes. However, whether TE selection occurred during crop domestication remains unknown. HUO is active under normal growth conditions, present at low copy numbers, inserts preferentially into regions capable of transcription, but absent in almost all modern varieties, indicating its removal during rice domestication and modern rice breeding. HUO triggers genomic immunity and dramatically alters genome-wide methylation levels and small RNA biogenesis, as well as global gene expression. Its presence specifically affects agronomic traits by decreasing yield performance and disease resistance but enhancing salt tolerance, which mechanistically explains its domestication removal. Thus, our study reveals a unique retrotransposon as a negative target for maintaining genetic and epigenetic stability during crop domestication and selection.

Project description:The centromere, defined by the enrichment of CENP-A (a Histone H3 variant) containing nucleosomes, is a specialised chromosomal locus that acts as a microtubule attachment site. To preserve centromere identity, CENP-A levels must be maintained through active CENP-A loading during the cell cycle. A central player mediating this process is the Mis18 complex (Mis18a, Mis18b and Mis18BP1), which recruits the CENP-A specific chaperone HJURP to centromeres for CENP-A deposition. Here, using a multi-pronged approach, we characterise the structure of the Mis18 complex and show that multiple hetero- and homo-oligomeric interfaces facilitate the hetero-octameric Mis18 complex assembly composed of 4 Mis18a, 2 Mis18b and 2 Mis18BP1. Evaluation of structure-guided/separation-of-function mutants reveals structural determinants essential for Mis18 complex assembly and centromere maintenance. Our results provide new mechanistic insights on centromere maintenance, highlighting that while Mis18a can associate with centromeres and deposit CENP-A independently of Mis18b, the latter is indispensable for the optimal level of CENP-A loading required for preserving the centromere identity.
