These compounds provide health benefits to humans as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds. The expression of the late biosynthetic genes in the flavonoid pathway is controlled by a ternary MBW protein complex consisting of interfacing MYB, beta-helix-loop-helix (bHLH), and WD40 Repeat (WDR) proteins. P, the master regulator gene of the flavonoid expression in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), was recently determined to encode a bHLH protein. The T and Z genes control the distribution of color in bean seeds and flowers and have historically been considered regulators of the flavonoid gene expression. T and Z candidates were identified using reverse genetics based on genetic mapping, phylogenetic analysis, and mutant analysis. Domain and AlphaFold2 structure analyses determined that T encodes a seven-bladed β-propeller WDR protein, while Z encodes a R2R3 MYB protein. Deletions and SNPs in T and Z mutants, respectively, altered the 3D structure of these proteins. Modeling of the Z MYB/P bHLH/T WDR MBW complex identified interfacing sequence domains and motifs in all three genes that are conserved in dicots. One Z MYB motif is a possible beta-molecular recognition feature (β-MoRF) that only appears in a structured state when Z MYB is modeled as a component of a MBW complex. Complexes containing mutant T and Z proteins changed the interaction of members of the complex in ways that would alter their role in regulating the expression of genes in the flavonoid pathway.</p>","PeriodicalId":12468,"journal":{"name":"G3: Genes|Genomes|Genetics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11457125/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142016895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we described the generation of a chromosome-level genome for the A. ludens using a combination of PacBio high fidelity long-reads and chromatin conformation capture sequencing data. The final assembly consisted of 140 scaffolds (821 Mb, N50 = 131 Mb), containing 99.27% complete conserved orthologs (BUSCO) for Diptera. We identified the sex chromosomes using three strategies: 1) visual inspection of Hi-C contact map and coverage analysis using the HiFi reads, 2) synteny with Drosophila melanogaster, and 3) the difference in the average read depth of autosomal versus sex chromosomal scaffolds. The X chromosome was found in one major scaffold (100 Mb) and eight smaller contigs (1.8 Mb), and the Y chromosome was recovered in one large scaffold (6.1 Mb) and 35 smaller contigs (4.3 Mb). Sex chromosomes and autosomes showed considerable differences of transposable elements and gene content. Moreover, evolutionary rates of orthologs of A. ludens and Anastrepha obliqua revealed a faster evolution of X-linked, compared to autosome-linked, genes, consistent with the faster-X effect, leading us to new insights on the evolution of sex chromosomes in this diverse group of flies.

Recent work from our group has identified additional genome silencing events in C. elegans during oogenesis and in starved L1 larvae, and these require the condensin II complex, topoisomerase II (TOP-2), and components of the H3K9me/heterochromatin pathway. Interestingly, silencing in oocytes also requires PIE-1, but this is not the case in starved L1s. Here, we ask if additional genome silencing components besides PIE-1 are required to repress gene expression in the P lineage of early embryos, and we find that condensin II and TOP-2 are required and the H3K9me/heterochromatin pathway is not. We show that depletion of TOP-2/condensin II activates the normally suppressed RNA polymerase II to inappropriately transcribe somatic genes in the P lineage. We also present evidence that while both PIE-1 and TOP-2/condensin II are required for genome silencing in the P lineage, PIE-1 can silence transcription independently of TOP-2/condensin II when misexpressed in somatic cells. Thus, in oocytes, all three genome silencing systems (TOP-2/condensin II, H3K9me, and PIE-1) are operational while in both early embryos and starved L1s two of the three are active.
