However, we have a limited understanding of how these distinct states are first established during animal embryogenesis. Histone 3 lysine 9 trimethylation (H3K9me3) is critical to heterochromatin formation, and bulk establishment of this mark is thought to help drive large-scale remodeling of an initially naive chromatin state during animal embryogenesis. However, a detailed understanding of this process is lacking. Here, we leverage CUT&RUN to define the emerging H3K9me3 landscape of the zebrafish embryo with high sensitivity and temporal resolution. Despite the prevalence of DNA transposons in the zebrafish genome, we found that LTR transposons are preferentially targeted for embryonic H3K9me3 deposition, with different families exhibiting distinct establishment timelines. High signal-to-noise ratios afforded by CUT&RUN revealed new, emerging sites of low-amplitude H3K9me3 that initiated before the major wave of zygotic genome activation (ZGA). Early sites of establishment predominated at specific subsets of transposons and were particularly enriched for transposon sequences with maternal piRNAs and pericentromeric localization. Notably, the number of H3K9me3 enriched sites increased linearly across blastula development, while quantitative comparison revealed a >10-fold genome-wide increase in H3K9me3 signal at established sites over just 30 min at the onset of major ZGA. Continued maturation of the H3K9me3 landscape was observed beyond the initial wave of bulk establishment.</p>","PeriodicalId":48925,"journal":{"name":"Genetics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11457944/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142019205","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}

Candida albicans is a human opportunistic pathogen with a facultative anaerobic metabolism which, unlike the model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, possesses mitochondrially encoded respiratory Complex I (CI) subunits and does not tolerate loss of mtDNA. We characterized the function of 4 PPR proteins of C. albicans that lack orthologs in S. cerevisiae and found that they are required for the expression of mitochondrially encoded CI subunits. We demonstrated that these proteins localize to mitochondria and are essential to maintain the respiratory capacity of cells. Deletion of genes encoding these PPR proteins results in changes in steady-state levels of mitochondrial RNAs and proteins. We demonstrated that C. albicans cells lacking CaPpr4, CaPpr11, and CaPpr13 proteins show no CI assembly, whereas the lack of CaPpr7p results in a decreased CI activity. CaPpr13p is required to maintain the bicistronic NAD4L-NAD5 mRNA, whereas the other 3 PPR proteins are likely involved in translation-related assembly of mitochondrially encoded CI subunits. In addition, we show that CaAep3p, which is an ortholog of ScAep3p, performs the evolutionary conserved function of controlling expression of the ATP8-ATP6 mRNA.

Tyrosinemia type 1 has a global prevalence of approximately 1 in 100,000 births but can reach up to 1 in 1,500 births in some regions of Québec, Canada. Mutating functionally related \"modifier' genes (i.e. genes that, when mutated, affect the phenotypic impacts of mutations in other genes) is an emerging strategy for treating human genetic diseases. In vivo somatic genome editing in animal models of these diseases is a powerful means to identify modifier genes and fuel treatment development. In this study, we demonstrate that mutating additional enzymes in the tyrosine catabolic pathway through liver-specific genome editing can relieve or worsen the phenotypic severity of a murine model of tyrosinemia type 1. Neonatal gene delivery using recombinant adeno-associated viral vectors expressing Staphylococcus aureus Cas9 under the control of a liver-specific promoter led to efficient gene disruption and metabolic rewiring of the pathway, with systemic effects that were distinct from the phenotypes observed in whole-body knockout models.

Mutations in either cohesin subunits or regulatory genes can give rise to severe developmental abnormalities (such as Robert Syndrome and Cornelia de Lange Syndrome) and also are highly correlated with cancer. Despite this, little is known about cohesin regulation. Eco1 (ESCO2/EFO2 in humans) and Rad61 (WAPL in humans) represent two such regulators but perform opposing roles. Eco1 acetylation of cohesin during S phase, for instance, stabilizes cohesin-DNA binding to promote sister chromatid cohesion. On the other hand, Rad61 promotes the dissociation of cohesin from DNA. While Eco1 is essential, ECO1 and RAD61 co-deletion results in yeast cell viability, but only within a limited temperature range. Here, we report that eco1rad61 cell lethality is due to reduced levels of the cohesin subunit Mcd1. Results from a suppressor screen further reveals that FDO1 deletion rescues the temperature-sensitive (ts) growth defects exhibited by eco1rad61 double mutant cells by increasing Mcd1 levels. Regulation of MCD1 expression, however, appears more complex. Elevated expression of MBP1, which encodes a subunit of the MBF transcription complex, also rescues eco1rad61 cell growth defects. Elevated expression of SWI6, however, which encodes the Mbp1-binding partner of MBF, exacerbates eco1rad61 cell growth and also abrogates the Mpb1-dependent rescue. Finally, we identify two additional transcription factors, Fkh1 and Fkh2, that impact MCD1 expression.

Dendrites, which receive sensory information or input from other neurons, often display elaborately branched morphologies. While mechanisms that promote dendrite branching have been widely studied, less is known about the mechanisms that restrict branching. Using the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, we identify rabr-1 (for Rab-related gene 1) as a factor that restricts branching of the elaborately branched dendritic trees of PVD and FLP somatosensory neurons. Animals mutant for rabr-1 show excessively branched dendrites throughout development and into adulthood in areas where the dendrites overlay epidermal tissues. Phylogenetic analyses show that RABR-1 displays similarity to small GTPases of the Rab-type, although based on sequence alone, no clear vertebrate ortholog of RABR-1 can be identified. We find that rabr-1 is expressed and can function in epidermal tissues, suggesting that rabr-1 restricts dendritic branching cell-nonautonomously. Genetic experiments further indicate that for the formation of ectopic branches rabr-1 mutants require the genes of the Menorin pathway, which have been previously shown to mediate dendrite morphogenesis of somatosensory neurons. A translational reporter for RABR-1 reveals a subcellular localization to punctate, perinuclear structures, which correlates with endosomal and autophagosomal markers, but anticorrelates with lysosomal markers suggesting an amphisomal character. Point mutations in rabr-1 analogous to key residues of small GTPases suggest that rabr-1 functions in a GTP-bound form independently of GTPase activity.
