  • Overreplication of Short DNA Regions During S Phase in Human Cells
    Downloaded from genesdev.cshlp.org on October 5, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Overreplication of short DNA regions during S phase in human cells María Gómez1 and Francisco Antequera Instituto de Microbiología Bioquímica, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC)/Universidad de Salamanca, Edificio Departamental, Campus Miguel de Unamuno, 37007-Salamanca, Spain DNA replication origins (ORI) are regulatory regions from which the genome is replicated once every cell cycle. A widely used method for their identification in mammalian chromosomes relies on quantitative PCR of DNA nascent strands across candidate regions. We developed a new high-resolution PCR strategy to localize ORIs directly on total unfractionated human DNA. The increase in sensitivity provided by this approach has revealed that a short region of ∼200-base-pair overlapping well-characterized replication origins undergoes several rounds of replication, coinciding with their specific time of activation during S phase. This process generates a population of discrete dsDNA fragments detectable as free molecules in preparations of total DNA in normally proliferating cells. Overreplicated regions have precise boundaries at the edge of the nucleosome-free gap that encompasses the transcription initiation sites of CpG island promoters. By itself, active transcription does not induce overreplication but does stimulate it at ORIs associated with promoters. The coincidence in time and space between the overproduction of short DNA fragments and ORI activity predicts the precise localization of thousands of ORIs in the human genome and uncovers a previously unnoticed step in the initiation of DNA replication.

ABSTRACT Cells have evolved specialized protein disaggregases to reverse toxic protein aggregation and restore protein functionality. In nonmetazoan eukaryotes, the AAA+ disaggregase Hsp78 resolubilizes and reactivates proteins in mitochondria. Curiously, metazoa lack Hsp78. Hence, whether metazoan mitochondria reactivate aggregated proteins is unknown. Here, we establish that a mitochondrial AAA+ protein, Skd3 (human CLPB), couples ATP hydrolysis to protein disaggregation and reactivation. The Skd3 ankyrin-repeat domain combines with conserved AAA+ elements to enable stand-alone disaggregase activity. A mitochondrial inner-membrane protease, PARL, removes an autoinhibitory peptide from Skd3 to greatly enhance disaggregase activity. Indeed, PARL-activated Skd3 dissolves α-synuclein fibrils connected to Parkinson’s disease. Human cells lacking Skd3 exhibit reduced solubility of various mitochondrial proteins, including anti-apoptotic Hax1.

Glomerular development has been analyzed mainly in mice, whereas analysis of human kidney development has been minimal because of limited access to embryonic kidneys. We previously reported the induction of three-dimensional primordial glomeruli from human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Here, using transcription activator–like effector nuclease-mediated homologous recombination, we generated human iPS cell lines that express green fluorescent protein (GFP) in the NPHS1 locus, which encodes nephrin, and we show that GFP expression facilitated accurate visualization of nephrin-positive podocyte formation in

Alternatively, origins could fire sto- The ORC binding profile is broader than those of sequence-specific chastically so that the pattern varies from cell to cell.

Instead, ORC binds nonspecifically to open early versus late origins. However, the finding of more ORC binding (DNase I-hypersensitive) regions containing active chromatin marks sites in early replicating regions of the Drosophila genome suggested such as H3 acetylation and H3K4 methylation. ORC sites in early and the possibility that the timing pattern might arise from stochastic late replicating regions have similar properties, but there are far more firing from all origins (4, 5).

Relevant mouse models are powerful for untangling this problem because such heterogeneity can be controlled. Inbred Chaos3 mice exhibit high levels of genomic instability leading to mammary tumors that have tumor gene expression profiles closely resembling mature human mammary luminal cell signatures. We genomically characterized mammary adenocarcinomas from these mice to identify cancer-causing genomic events that overlap common alterations in human breast cancer. Chaos3 tumors underwent recurrent copy number alterations (CNAs), particularly deletion of the RAS inhibitor Neurofibromin 1 (Nf1) in nearly all cases. These overlap with human CNAs including NF1, which is deleted or mutated in 27.7% of all breast carcinomas. Chaos3 mammary tumor cells exhibit RAS hyperactivation and increased sensitivity to RAS pathway inhibitors. These results indicate that spontaneous NF1 loss can drive breast cancer. This should be informative for treatment of the significant fraction of patients whose tumors bear NF1 mutations.

The most common type of lung cancer is lung adenocarcinoma (AC). The genetic mechanisms of the early stages and lung AC progression steps are poorly understood. There is currently no clinically applicable gene test for the early diagnosis and AC aggressiveness. Among the major reasons for the lack of reliable diagnostic biomarkers are the extraordinary heterogeneity of the cancer cells, complex and poorly understudied interactions of the AC cells with adjacent tissue and immune system, gene variation across patient cohorts, measurement variability, small sample sizes and sub-optimal analytical methods. We suggest that gene expression profiling of the primary tumours and adjacent tissues (PT-AT) handled with a rational statistical and bioinformatics strategy of biomarker prediction and validation could provide significant progress in the identification of clinical biomarkers of AC. To minimise sample-to-sample variability, repeated multivariate measurements in the same object (organ or tissue, e.g. PT-AT in lung) across patients should be designed, but prediction and validation on the genome scale with small sample size is a great methodical challenge.

  • Parental Micronutrient Deficiency Distorts Liver DNA Methylation And
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Parental micronutrient defciency distorts liver DNA methylation and expression of lipid genes associated Received: 24 October 2017 Accepted: 31 January 2018 with a fatty-liver-like phenotype in Published: xx xx xxxx ofspring Kaja H. Skjærven1, Lars Martin Jakt2, Jorge M. O. Fernandes2, John Arne Dahl 3, Anne-Catrin Adam1, Johanna Klughammer4, Christoph Bock 4 & Marit Espe1 Micronutrient status of parents can afect long term health of their progeny. Around 2 billion humans are afected by chronic micronutrient defciency. In this study we use zebrafsh as a model system to examine morphological, molecular and epigenetic changes in mature ofspring of parents that experienced a one-carbon (1-C) micronutrient defciency. Zebrafsh were fed a diet sufcient, or marginally defcient in 1-C nutrients (folate, vitamin B12, vitamin B6, methionine, choline), and then mated. Ofspring livers underwent histological examination, RNA sequencing and genome-wide DNA methylation analysis. Parental 1-C micronutrient defciency resulted in increased lipid inclusion and we identifed 686 diferentially expressed genes in ofspring liver, the majority of which were downregulated. Downregulated genes were enriched for functional categories related to sterol, steroid and lipid biosynthesis, as well as mitochondrial protein synthesis. Diferential DNA methylation was found at 2869 CpG sites, enriched in promoter regions and permutation analyses confrmed the association with parental feed. Our data indicate that parental 1-C nutrient status can persist as locus specifc DNA methylation marks in descendants and suggest an efect on lipid utilization and mitochondrial protein translation in F1 livers. This points toward parental micronutrients status as an important factor for ofspring health and welfare.
