概括

在虫大脑中,Argonaute 2 (Ago2) 蛋白质通过招募HP1a到heterochromatin.com来帮助沉默可转移元素 (TE). 这种机制可以防止TE在非阴茎组织中的过度表达.

科学领域:

表观遗传学在表观遗传学中,表观遗传学是指表观遗传学.
分子生物学分子生物学
基因组学就是基因组学.

背景情况:

可转移元素 (TE) 通过piRNA通路在Drosophila性腺体中被沉默.
在非淋巴腺组织中,短干扰RNA (siRNA) 途径,涉及Argonaute 2 (Ago2),是TEs的主要抑制剂,主要在转录后起作用.
最近的证据表明,siRNA途径也可能有助于共同转录沉默.

研究的目的:

调查阿尔戈诺特2 (Ago2) 在多虫大脑中可转移元素 (TEs) 的共同转录沉默中的作用.
为了确定Ago2是否影响异性染色蛋白1a (HP1a) 结合非阴茎组织中的TEs.

主要方法:

使用DamID,评估野生类型和Ago2-突变Drosophila大脑中TEs的HP1a占用率.
在Ago2突变体中测量了TEs的染色体可访问性.
在Ago2突变的幼虫大脑中量化了含有LTR的逆转移体的表达水平.
研究了层Dm0敲除对HP1a与TEs结合的作用.

主要成果:

在Ago2突变中,HP1a对TEs和其他大脑异色彩区域的结合显著减少.
这种HP1a的减少与增加的染色质可访问性和几个含有LTR的逆转移子的上调相关.
神经元中LaminDm0的破坏导致HP1a对TEs的结合增加,特别是那些在Ago2突变中结合减少的突变.
发现Ago2与层Dm0复合在一起,这表明了调节性相互作用.

结论:

Ago2在Drosophila大脑中招募HP1a到TEs中发挥作用,有助于它们的沉默.
阿戈2与膜Dm0之间的相互作用影响HP1a局部化和TE抑制.
这些发现支持了一个模型,其中Ago2-介导的HP1a招募是Drosophila非淋巴体组织中TE沉默的关键机制.

关键词:

阿尔戈诺特2 (Ago2) 是一个这种植物是Drosophila.大脑大脑大脑的大脑大脑异性染色蛋白蛋白1a (HP1a) 是一种层 Dm0 的 Dm0 的简短的干扰RNAs (siRNAs) 是一种干扰RNAs.可转移的元素可以转移.

piRNA - Piwi-interacting RNAs

piRNA - Piwi-interacting RNAs

PIWI-interacting RNAs, or piRNAs, are the most abundant short non-coding RNAs. More than 20,000 genes have been found in humans that code for piRNAs while only 2000 genes have been found for miRNAs. piRNAs can act at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels and have a vital role in silencing transposable elements present in germ cells. They are also involved in epigenetic silencing and activation. Previously, they were thought to function only in germ cells but new evidence suggests...

Position-effect Variegation

Position-effect Variegation

In 1928, a German botanist Emil Heitz observed the moss nuclei with a DNA binding dye. He observed that while some chromatin regions decondense and spread out in the interphase nucleus, others do not. He termed them euchromatin and heterochromatin, respectively. He proposed that the heterochromatin regions reflect a functionally inactive state of the genome. It was later confirmed that heterochromatin is transcriptionally repressed, and euchromatin is transcriptionally active chromatin.

Exon Recombination

Exon Recombination

The evolution of new genes is critical for speciation. Exon recombination, also known as exon shuffling or domain shuffling, is an important means of new gene formation. It is observed across vertebrates, invertebrates, and in some plants such as potatoes and sunflowers. During exon recombination, exons from the same or different genes recombine and produce new exon-intron combinations, which might evolve into new genes.
Exon shuffling follows “splice frame rules.” Each exon...
