In addition to being associated with the autism and schizophrenia spectrum disorders, mutations in the L1CAM family of genes also underlie distinct developmental syndromes with neurological conditions, such as intellectual disability, spastic paraplegia, hypotonia and congenital hydrocephalus. Studies in both vertebrate and invertebrate model organisms have established conserved neurodevelopmental roles for L1CAMs; these include axon guidance, dendrite morphogenesis, synaptogenesis, and maintenance of neural architecture, among others. In <em>Caenorhabditis elegans</em>, L1CAMs, encoded by the <em>sax-7</em> gene, are required for coordinated locomotion. We previously uncovered a genetic interaction between <em>sax-7</em> and components of synaptic vesicle cycle, revealing a non-developmental role for <em>sax-7</em> in regulating synaptic activity. More recently, we determined that <em>sax-7</em> also genetically interacts with extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) signaling in controlling coordinated locomotion. <em>C. elegans</em> ERK, encoded by the <em>mpk-1</em> gene, is a serine/threonine protein kinase belonging to the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family that governs multiple aspects of animal development and cellular homeostasis. Here, we show this genetic interaction between <em>sax-7</em> and <em>mpk-1</em> occurs not only in cholinergic neurons for coordinated locomotion, but also extends outside the nervous system, revealing novel roles for SAX-7/L1CAM in non-neuronal processes, including vulval development. Our genetic findings in both the nervous system and developing vulva are consistent with SAX-7/L1CAM acting as an antagonistic modulator of ERK signaling.","PeriodicalId":501246,"journal":{"name":"bioRxiv - Genetics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142247560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From the intricate network of metabolic reactions, diverse chemical molecules, collectively termed as metabolites, are produced. In multicellular organisms, metabolite communication between different tissues is vital for maintaining homeostasis and adaptation. However, the molecular mechanisms mediating these metabolite communications remain poorly understood. Here, we focus on nucleosides and nucleotides, essential metabolites involved in multiple cellular processes, and report the pivotal role of the SLC29A family of transporters in mediating nucleoside coordination between the soma and the germline. Through genetic analysis, we discovered that two Caenorhabditis elegans homologs of SLC29A transporters, Equilibrative Nucleoside Transporter ENT-1 and ENT-2, act in the germline and the intestine, respectively, to regulate reproduction. Their knockdown synergistically results in sterility. Further single-cell transcriptomic and targeted metabolomic profiling revealed that the ENT double knockdown specifically affects genes in the purine biosynthesis pathway and reduces the ratio of guanosine to adenosine levels. Importantly, guanosine supplementation into the body cavity/pseudocoelom through microinjection rescued the sterility caused by the ENT double knockdown, whereas adenosine microinjection had no effect. Together, these studies support guanosine as a rate limiting factor in the control of reproduction, uncover the previously unknown nucleoside/nucleotide communication between the soma and the germline essential for reproductive success, and highlight the significance of SLC-mediated cell-nonautonomous metabolite coordination in regulating organism physiology.","PeriodicalId":501246,"journal":{"name":"bioRxiv - Genetics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142247558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All repair mechanisms must successfully negotiate the local chromatin environment in order to access DNA. For example, nucleosomes can be repositioned by the highly conserved Nucleosome Remodeling and Deacetylase (NuRD) complex. In Caenorhabditis elegans, NuRD functions in the germline to repair DSBs - the loss of NuRD's ATPase subunit, LET-418/CHD4, prevents DSB resolution and therefore reduces fertility. In this study, we challenge germlines with exogenous DNA damage to better understand NuRD's role in repairing DSBs. We find that let-418 mutants are hypersensitive to cisplatin and hydroxyurea: exposure to either mutagen impedes DSB repair, generates aneuploid oocytes, and severely reduces fertility and embryonic survival. These defects resemble those seen when the Fanconi anemia (FA) DNA repair pathway is compromised, and we find that LET-418's activity is epistatic to that of the FA component FCD-2/FANCD2. We propose a model in which NuRD is recruited to the site of DNA lesions to remodel chromatin and allow access for FA pathway components. Together, these results implicate NuRD in the repair of both endogenous DSBs and exogenous DNA lesions to preserve genome integrity in developing germ cells.","PeriodicalId":501246,"journal":{"name":"bioRxiv - Genetics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142247603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cell mtDNA content and variability contributes to the overall cell fitness. During sexual reproduction, fungi usually inherit mtDNA from both parents, however, the distribution of the mtDNA in the progeny can be biased toward some mtDNA variants. For example, crossing Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain carrying wild type (rho+) mtDNA with the strain carrying mutant mtDNA variant with large deletion (rho−) can produce up to 99-100% of rho− diploid progeny. Two factors could contribute to this phenomenon. First, rho− cells may accumulate more copies of mtDNA molecules per cell than wild-type cells, making rho− mtDNA a prevalent mtDNA molecule in zygotes. This consequently leads to a high portion of rho− diploid cells in the offspring. Second, rho− mtDNA may have a competitive advantage within heteroplasmic cells, and therefore could displace rho+ mtDNA in a series of generations, regardless of their initial ratio. To assess the contribution of these factors, we investigated the genotypes and phenotypes of twenty two rho− yeast strains. We found that indeed rho− cells have a higher mtDNA copy number per cell than rho+ strains. Using an in silico modelling of mtDNA selection and random drift in heteroplasmic yeast cells, we assessed the intracellular fitness of mutant mtDNA variants. Our model indicates that both higher copy numbers and intracellular fitness advantage of the rho- mtDNA contribute to the biased inheritance of rho− mtDNA.","PeriodicalId":501246,"journal":{"name":"bioRxiv - Genetics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142247604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The DS-specific CF features are an overall reduction in head dimensions (microcephaly), relatively wide neurocranium (brachycephaly), reduced mediolaterally orbital region, reduced bizygomatic breadth, small maxilla, small mandible, and increased individual variability. Until now, the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the specific craniofacial phenotype have remained poorly understood. Investigating a new panel of DS mouse models with different segmental duplications on mouse chromosome 16 in the region homologous to human chromosome 21, we identified new regions and the role of two candidate gene for DS-specific CF phenotypes. First, we confirmed the role of Dyrk1a in the neurocranium brachycephaly. Then, we identified the role of the transcription factor Ripply3 overdosage in midface shortening through the downregulation of Tbx1, another transcription factor involved in the CF midface phenotype encountered in DiGeorge syndrome. This last effect occurs during branchial arches development through a reduction in cell proliferation. Our findings define a new dosage-sensitive gene responsible for the DS craniofacial features and propose new models for rescuing all aspects of DS CF phenotypes. This data may also provide insights into specific brain and cardiovascular phenotypes observed in DiGeorge and DS models, opening avenues for potential targeted treatment to soften craniofacial dysmorphism in Down syndrome.","PeriodicalId":501246,"journal":{"name":"bioRxiv - Genetics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142247600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Only two such variants have been reported to cause ROSAH syndrome to date: 66 out of 67 patients harbour the Thr237Met variant, while a single patient carries a Tyr254Cys variant. Here we identify a family in which ROSAH syndrome is caused by a Ser277Phe variant in ALPK1. The phenotypic variability in this family is high, with four of the seven individuals legally blind. Hypohidrosis, splenomegaly and arthritis were present in several family members. In contrast to wildtype ALPK1, which is activated specifically by the bacterial metabolite ADP-heptose during bacterial infection, ALPK1[Ser277Phe] was also activated by the human metabolites UDP-mannose and ADP-ribose, even more strongly than the ALPK1[Thr237Met] variant. However, unlike ALPK1[Thr237Met], ALPK1[Ser277Phe] could additionally be activated by GDP-mannose. These observations can explain why these ALPK1 variants are active in cells in the absence of ADP-heptose and hence why patients have episodes of autoinflammation. Examination of the three-dimensional structure of ALPK1 revealed that the sidechains of Ser277 and Tyr254 interact but mutational analysis established that this interaction is not critical for the integrity of the ADP-heptose binding site. Instead, it is the replacement of Ser277 by a large hydrophobic phenylalanine residue or the replacement of Tyr254 by a much smaller cysteine residue that is responsible for altering the specificity of the ADP-heptose-binding pocket. The characterisation of ALPK1 variants that cause ROSAH syndrome suggests ways in which drugs that inhibit these disease- causing variants selectively can be developed.","PeriodicalId":501246,"journal":{"name":"bioRxiv - Genetics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142247602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

SMARCAD1 directly binds R-loops via its ATPase domain and associates with the replisome through its N-terminus region. Both interactions are critical for resolving R-loops within cells. Genome-wide assays reveal that cells expressing mutant SMARCAD1 accumulate significantly more R-loops than wild-type cells, particularly in regions distinct from known fork blockage-prone sites. These R-loop-enriched regions in SMARCAD1 mutants also exhibit increased mutagenesis in germline tumors, suggesting they are mutation hotspots in cancer.

Nucleosomes, composed of DNA wrapped around a histone octamer, present a natural barrier to end-resection to initiate HR, but the impact on the downstream HR steps of homology search, DNA strand invasion and repair synthesis remain to be determined. Displacement loops (D-loops) play a pivotal role in HR, yet the influence of chromatin dynamics on D-loop metabolism remains unclear. Using the physical D-loop capture (DLC) and D-loop extension (DLE) assays to track HR intermediates, we employed genetic analysis to reveal that H2B mono-ubiquitylation (H2Bubi) affects multiple steps during HR repair. We infer that H2Bubi modulates chromatin structure, not only promoting histone degradation for nascent D-loop formation but also stabilizing extended D-loops through nucleosome assembly. Furthermore, H2Bubi regulates DNA resection via Rad9 recruitment to suppress a feedback control mechanism that dampens D-loop formation and extension at hyper-resected ends. Through physical and genetic assays to determine repair outcomes, we demonstrate that H2Bubi plays a crucial role in preventing break-induced replication and thus promoting genomic stability.","PeriodicalId":501246,"journal":{"name":"bioRxiv - Genetics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142247599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
