1 Review of Transposable elements have rewired the core regulatory network of human embryonic stem cells RNA structure Mutagenic screens using transposons Nature Genetics, 42(7), (2010). Bradly Alicea
2 Introduction H: transposable elements provide a means for cells to maintain stemness in the face of genomic chaos (e.g. evolution). Stemness : genes that maintain the stem cell state (or pluripotency). * pluripotentcy is ubiquitous among eukaryotes (stemness is a meta-trait). Three hallmarks/outcomes of evolution: AACAGTGCT B AATAGTGCA C 1) diversity (mutational change, recombination). 2) homology (shared derived characteristics). A AAGAGTGCT 3) junk DNA, genomic dark matter. Vestigial retro-elements, genes, etc. Large-scale changes are less common usually require large amounts of evolutionary time (distant taxa).
3 Transposon definition Two classes: 1) Retrotransposons (transposons via RNA intermediates) * viral (HIV, so-called junk DNA). * LINEs, SINEs (long, short-interspersed repetitive elements) bytes.com/blog/tag/ retrovirus/ 2) DNA transposons (specific, non-specific binding) * cut and paste * copy and paste Mobile Genetic Elements of Malaria Vectors and Other Mosquitoes In M. Curie Bioscience Database, virology/retroviruses.html Hypotheses w.r.t. transposons: LINEs, SINEs are symbionts of Eukaryotic genomes (Cytogenetics and Genome Research, 110(1-4), ). Human genome: 42% retrotransposons, 2-3% transposons (Nature, 409, ).
4 Transposon definition (con t) RIGHT: reciprocal translocations and large inversions, Genes & Development, 23, (2009). Maize adh1 gene: * Mu3-induced mutation (Mu3 transposon, affects 430 bases in promoter region). * adh1 expression vs. WT: upregulated in organ A, downregulated in organ B, unchanged in organ C (mosaic-like). * Fragmentation model for allelic diversity generation: promoter scrambled during insertion and excision of transposon, expression pattern different from insertion mutant or WT.
5 Transposon definition (con t) Q: why do transposons have a function in the genome? Not clear. * example of functional role: Allen et.al, Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, 11(9), 816 (2004). Response to heat shock (transient exposure of cells to high temperatures): * generalized response (rapid change in gene expression, chaperone activity). * SINEs can encode B2 RNA in mouse (non-coding RNA PolIII), orchestrates global downregulation of genes during generalized response. Other potential functions: 1) Soper et.al, Mouse Maelstrom, a component of nuage, is essential for spermatogenesis and transposon repression in meiosis (Developmental Cell, 2008). 2) Aravin et.al, The PIWI pirna pathway provides an adaptive defense in the transposon arms race (Science, 2007). * transposons are silenced (default state), not representative of normal functional variation. Can befurther excised, silenced via recombination, splicing.
6 Results In silico (bioinformatic) approach: Authors generated matching datasets: human (ESCs) vs. mouse (ESCs). * define a cross-species case (homologous, paralogous, conserved genes). * Oct4 and NANOG (regulates "stemness, experimental condition). * CTCF (organizes regulatory blocks - chromosomal regions spanned by highly conserved non-coding elements). CTCF serves as a control. In vivo occupancy profiles for Oct4, NANOG notably different in hescs of different species. Frame b) percentile-wise partition of binding site conservation between species (top 10 to bottom 10). * decreases massively in CTCF, decreases from tiny amount of homology in Oct4, NANOG.
7 Results (con t) ASSUMPTION: Low evolutionary conservation + similar DNA binding motifs = small sequences that move around in genome. * k-mers that are not in same genomic location when comparing species. 1) ChIP-Seq libraries generated for three factors, determined genome-wide occupancy profile (full set of binding regions) in hescs. * enabled analysis of loci across range of enrichment levels. * de novo motif-finding method used as confirmatory method. * high similarity of DNA-binding specificity in human and mouse. 2) What proportion of regions occupied in one species is also occupied in the other -- or, what is p(a B)? * for 1kb windows (OCT4 = 2%, NANOG = 1.9%, CTCF = 16.7%). * for top 10% most enriched regions, changes in conservation (OCT4 = 3.8%, NANOG = 5.3%, CTCF = 49.6%).
8 Results (con t) K-mer: a sequence of length k. Example: AACATTGGT (k = 9). In this paper, k- mers are repeats that are mobile w.r.t. promoters of stemness genes. * shorter k-mers, greater number of matches, more false positives. * longer k-mers, smaller number of matches, fewer false positives. In this paper (using word search): * and (k = 3) appears 157 times. Many different contexts. * transposable (k = 11) appears 15 times. Always matched to element. Conserved Binding Regions: * homologous regions determined by various window sizes. * generally, conservation increases as window size increases (but not as much as effect of specific genes).
9 Results (con t) Transposable elements = rich source for new binding sites? IDed specific transcription factor-repeat associations that were more common than chance. * 767 LTR9B repeats from endogenous retrovirus 1 (ERV1), 255 of these bound by OCT4 (move around genome, Oct4 binding activity follows them). Endogenous Retrovirus * 82-fold enrichment (Observed = 33.2%, Expected = (ERV) 1 0.4%), and example of repeat-associated binding sites ERV1 = one of the (RABS). few "active" transposons in human genome (Sela et al. Genome Biology 2010, 11:R59). Endogenous = direct infection of germline cells. ERVs are thus heritable. Frame b: Fold-enrichment of Oct4 binding regions (IDed sequence). Categorized by overlap with NANOG binding region, conserved in vivo, or RABS (4 repeat types). * comparisons between proximity to up- and down-regulated regions (big effect for downregulated genes that overlap with ERV1).
10 Results (con t) RABS in binding region of selected genes: Gene RABS (%) Oct NANOG 14.6 CTCF 11.1 NOTE: not exclusively in regions that regulate stemness genes. * in fact, true only for a minority of RABS. * RABS represented among both strongly-and weakly-bound regions of CTCF * RABS overrepresented among strongly-bound sites for OCT4, NANOG. * ERV1 repeat family is largest contributor of RABS for OCT4 and NANOG. In general, exaptation (see slide #14) among families of transposable elements should be ubiquitous across evolution but species-specific.
11 Results (con t) Q: how can we be sure that similar binding elements are responsible for the uniform regulation of stemness across species? Pou5f1 RNAi treatment used to look at conservation issue further: * following RNAi treatment, main stemness genes downregulated in mouse and human. * SCGB3A2 downregulated, contains two binding regions in promoter bound by OCT4 and NANOG which also overlap ERV1 repeats. Highly expressed gene in human ESCs, but unregulated in mouse ESCs * may be due to speciesspecific transposable elements.
12 Results (con t) Enrichment on either side (+/- 20kb) of transcriptional start site (TSS): Supplementary Figure 1: as one moves away from the center of bound region, sequence ID asymptotic to 0. Sequence ID at center of bound region much higher in CTCF (green). * 53% conserved targets had a OCT4-NANOG binding region * 15% were homogenously bound in mouse (other genes show evidence of binding site turnover). AEBP2 (encodes protein in PRC2 complex, important for self-renewal) * exhibits binding site turnover, proximal promoter site in human overlaps with a repeat site absent in mouse. SOX2 (one of Yamanaka factors) * has very well-conserved binding profile in both humans and mice for all three factors (exception to this rule).
13 Results (con t) For 584 genes that only show downregulation in hescs, 27% had OCT4-NANOG binding region. * fraction of binding regions corresponding to RABS (22.5%) higher than for conserved targets (12.4%). * using luciferase assay for activity of two ERV1 RABS, enhancer activity is ablated if OCT4 motif is mutated. * many genes rewired into core regulatory network of hescs with insertion of transposable elements. 50 genes added to pluripotency network. 21/44 genes and 3/6 TFs (many upregulated in human, downregulated in mouse) with ERV1 RABS added into network (directly regulated by Oct4, NANOG).
14 Broader Implications Synteny: the order of genes on a chromosome. Bioinformatics Blog: 1) Meiotic recombination: Father + Mother (shuffled chromosome), synteny preserved. Consequence: allelic diversity (evolutionary change). Archives of Gen. Psychiatry, 57(12), (2000). 2) Translocation: Stretch of chromosome moved, synteny not preserved. Bithorax, many Lymphomas Consequence: pathology, compromised function. radiology/info/clinical/ pet/images.asp File:Translocation-4-20.png Action of transposons: more localized (part of regulatory, coding region), synteny preserved, but still a large-scale change (in that it affects gene expression). Consequence: adds transcriptional noise, fine-tunes the response of downstream genes (for good and bad).
15 Broader Implications (con t) Exaptation: co-option of existing structures in evolution, may or may not be driven by natural selection. Retrotransposon (viral element) RESEMBLE BINDING MOTIF Evolvability: how does an organism evolve certain traits? What provides the capacity for evolving certain traits? * why do bats have wings, but not primates (same common ancestor)? A number of potential mechanisms: information-carrying element with mobility INSERT AT PROMOTER function-preserving element * redundancy: make sure a promoter exists for key stemness genes as genome changes around it. Stochastic process - copy or move binding motif around genome with prob(x). * hopeful monster : (large-scale changes, short evolutionary time PNAS, 81, 5482). * neutral processes: moved via genetic drift, hitchhiking (across evolutionary time).
16 Elitism and Stochasticity, Revisited Competing models for reprogramming (stochastic vs. deterministic): 1) stochastic: transformation occurs according to a variable latency. * time from trigger to transformation is variable (cell cycle c = m transformations). 2) deterministic: transformation occurs according to a uniform latency. * time from trigger to transformation is uniform. Elite models argue that only a subset (1/n) of cells will reprogram (innate ability). This paper: elite, stochastic scenario (iv).
