Nuclear Genome Organization in Fungi: From Gene folding to Rabl Chromosomes

We discuss the current knowledge on the fungal genome organization, from the association of chromosomes within the nucleus to topological structures at individual genes and the genetic factors required for the hierarchical organization. Chromosome conformation capture followed by high-throughput sequencing (Hi-C) has elucidated how fungal genomes are globally organized in Rabl configuration where centromere or telomere bundles are associated with opposite faces of the nuclear envelope. Here, we explore the presence, in fungal taxa, of the typical proteins associated with genome organization in eukaryotes.

Deconvolved STED nanoscopy images of the nuclear phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate and nuclear speckle marker SON together with deconvolved confocal images of DAPI stained nuclei in human formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded skin warts sections

The collection and analysis of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) human skin sections was approved by the local ethics-committee at the Department of Pathology, University of Cologne, Germany. Written informed consentwas obtained from all patients in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. For biopsy materials from archival paraffin blocks of human skin, an informed consent was obtained from all the subjects and ethical approval obtained from the Ethics Committee at the University of Cologne. Surgically removed human FFPE skin biopsies were sectioned into 4 µm sections. Sections were dewaxed, and indirectly immunofluorescently labeled against nuclear phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (nPI(4,5)P2) using  5 µg/mL rabbit primary polyclonal antibody (Echelon Biosciences Inc. Z-A045, clone 2C11). The primary antibody against nPI(4,5)P2 was recognized by the goat secondary antibody conjugated with Abberrior Star 635P (Abberior 2-0002-007-5). Sections were indirectly immunofluorescently labeled against nuclear speckle marker SON using  1 µg/mL rabbit primary polyclonal antibody (Abcam ab121759). The primary antibody against SON was recognized by the goat secondary antibody conjugated with Abberrior Star 580 (Abberrior ST580-1002). Sections were co-stained by DAPI 1:1000 in PBS for 5 min. Imaging of nPI(4,5)P2-635P channel was performed on Leica TCS SP8 STED 3x inverted DMi8 microscope with pulsed white light laser 470-640 nm 1.5 mW and 775 nm pulse STED laser >1.5 W controlled by Leica Application Suite X software and equipped with HC PL APO CS2 100x/1.40 OIL objective used with Leica Type F immersion oil n=1.518.

Channel settings: 7% 633 nm laser; 775 Notch filter; 50% 775 nm STED laser; 30% 3D STED; HyD 639-698 nm, photon-counting mode, gain 100, gating 0.3-10 ns. Imaging of SON-580 channel was performed on Leica TCS SP8 STED 3x inverted DMi8 microscope with pulsed white light laser 470-640 nm 1.5 mW and 775 nm pulse STED laser >1.5 W controlled by Leica Application Suite X software and equipped with HC PL APO CS2 100x/1.40 OIL objective used with Leica Type F immersion oil n=1.518. Unidirectional xyz scanning speed was 400 Hz, line accumulation 8. Pixel size was 20 nm in X and Y. Channel settings: 10% 585 nm laser; 775 Notch filter; 80% 775 nm STED laser, 30% 3D STED; Hybrid detector (HyD) 589-616 nm, photon-counting mode, gain 100, gating 0.4-10 ns. Z-stacks of STED images were deconvolved using Huygens Professional 22.10 software (Scientific Imaging B.V.). Data sets were processed using Workflow Processor. The workflow consisted of selecting images, setting up the microscopy and deconvolution parameters and saving deconvolved images as 8-bit TIFF single files for individual channels (which were later used for the quantitative analyses; see below). Microscopy parameters were optimized and set as follows. Sampling intervals were ≤20 nm in X and Y and  ≤20 nm in Z. Numerical aperture was 1.4; refractive indexes of the lens immersion oil was 1.518 and of the embedding media 1.458; objective quality was good, coverslip position was 0 µm and imaging direction was downward. For nPI(4,5)P2-635P STED channel the backprojected pinhole was 216 nm; excitation (ex.) and emission (em.) wavelengths (λ) were 633 and 651 nm, resp., ex. fill factor 2. STED depletion mode was pulsed, saturation factor 25, STED λ = 775, STED immunity factor 10 and STED 3X was 30%.

Identification of a lineage-specific protein network at the trypanosome nuclear envelope

The nuclear envelope (NE) separates translation and transcription and is the location of multiple functions, including chromatin organization, nucleocytoplasmic transport, ribosomal maturation and mRNA processing/quality control.  The molecular basis for many of these functions have diverged between different eukaryotic lineages.  Trypanosoma brucei, a member of the early branching eukaryotic lineage Discoba, highlight many of these, including a distinct lamina and kinetochore composition.  Here we describe a cohort of proteins interacting with both the lamina and NPC, which we term lamina-associated proteins (LAPs).  LAPs represent a diverse group of proteins, including two candidate NPC-anchoring pore membrane proteins (POMs) with architecture conserved with S. cerevisiae Pom152 and H. sapiens Nup210, and additional peripheral components of the NPC.  While many of the LAPs are specific to Trypanosomatids, we also identified broadly conserved proteins, indicating an amalgam of divergence and conservation within the NE proteome of trypanosomes, highlighting the diversity of nuclear biology across the eukaryotes and increasing our understanding of eukaryotic and NPC evolution.

A two-tier bioinformatic pipeline to develop probes for target capture of nuclear loci with applications in Melastomataceae

Premise of the study: Putatively single-copy nuclear (SCN) loci, identified using genomic resources of closely related species, are ideal for phylogenomic inference. However, suitable genomic resources are not available for many clades, including Melastomataceae. We introduce a versatile approach to identify SCN loci for clades with few genomic resources and use it to develop probes for target enrichment in the distantly related Memecylon and Tibouchina (Melastomataceae). Methods: We present a two-tiered pipeline. First, we identified putatively SCN loci using MarkerMiner and transcriptomes from distantly related species in Melastomataceae. Published loci and genes of functional significance were added (384 total loci). Second, using HybPiper, we retrieved 689 homologous template sequences for these loci using genome-skimming data from within the focal clades. Results: We sequenced 193 loci from both Memecylon and Tibouchina, with probes designed from 56 template sequences successfully targeting sequences in both clades. Probes designed from genome-skimming data within a focal clade were more successful than probes designed from other sources. Discussion: Our pipeline successfully identified and targeted SCN loci in Memecylon and Tibouchina, enabling phylogenomic studies in both clades and potentially across Melastomataceae. This pipeline could be easily applied to other clades with few genomic resources.

New genetic markers for Sapotaceae phylogenomics: more than 600 nuclear genes applicable from family to population levels

Some tropical plant families, such as the Sapotaceae, have a complex taxonomy, which can be resolved using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). For most groups however, methodological protocols are still missing. Here we identified 531 monocopy genes and 227 Short tandem repeats (STR) markers and tested them on Sapotaceae using target capture and NGS. The probes were designed using two genome skimming samples fromCapurodendron delphinense and Bemangidia lowryi, both from the Tseboneae tribe, as well as the published Manilkara zapota transcriptome from the Sapotoideae tribe. We combined our probes with 261 additional ones previously published and designed for the entire angiosperm group. On a total of 792 low-copy genes, 638 showed no signs of paralogy and were used to build a phylogeny of the family with 231 individuals from all main lineages. A highly supported topology was obtained at high taxonomic ranks but also at the species level. This phylogeny revealed the existence of more than 20 putative new species. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) extracted from the 638 genes were able to distinguish lineages within a species complex and to highlight geographical structuration. STR were recovered efficiently for the species used as reference (C. delphinense) but the recovery rate decreased dramatically with the phylogenetic distance to the focal species. All together, the new loci will help reaching a sound taxonomic understanding of the family Sapotaceae for which many circumscriptions and relationships are still debated, at the species, genus and tribe levels.

r-process abundances in neutron-rich merger ejecta given different theoretical nuclear physics inputs

This data release contains nucleosynthesis predictions for the r-process abundances presented in Côté, Eichler, Yagüe, Vassh et al. (2021) for compact object merger ejecta based on the publicly available simulation trajectories of Rosswog et al. (2013). All ejecta for the merger scenarios considered here are very neutron-rich (Ye ~ 0.016-0.11). Calculations were performed with the PRISM code (Mumpower et al. 2018) which accounts for nuclear reheating (here with a reheating efficiency of 50%). Results are reported for several different theoretical nuclear physics inputs but all calculations make use of the GEF fission yield prescription (see Vassh et al. 2019). All abundances are given at 1 Myr (10^6 years) post-merger. Please see the README file for more details and references. When using these nucleosynthesis yields, please cite this Zenodo data release (Vassh et al. 2021), and refer to Vassh et al. (2019) and Côté, Eichler, Yagüe, Vassh et al. (2021) for further details on the nuclear data applied as well as Rosswog et al. (2013), Piran et al. (2013), and Korobkin et al. (2012) for further details on the merger ejecta trajectories.

Ditrect STORM imaging and image reconstruction of the transcription initiation marker P-S5 and nuclear PI(4,5)P2 indirectly immunolabeled with AF647 (red) and AF555 (green) in control cells.

U-2 OS cells were grown in DMEM with 10% FBS at 37°C and 5% CO2. Cells were plated one day before staining in ~50% confluence on the high-precision 12 mm round coverslips treated with Hellmanex, sonicated, washed, dried and sterilized. Cells were control treated with 1:000 DMSO in the culture media. U2OS cells were washed twice with PBS (pH 7.4) and fixed for 30 min in 2% PFA in PBS, washed 3-times for 5 min with PBS, then permeabilized in 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS for 20 min, washed 3-times for 5 min by PBS and blocked in filtered 5% BSA in PBS for 30 min. Cells were incubated for 45 min with rabbit polyclonal IgG anti-RNAPII CTD P-S5 (Abcam ab5131) 3 µg/mL and mouse ascites IgM anti-PI(4,5)P2 2C11 (Z-A045; Echelon Biosci. Inc., USA) 5 µg/mL  in 5% BSA in PBS, washed 3-times for 5 min in PBS and incubated for 30 min with goat anti-mouse IgM (µ-chain) AF555 (Jackson ImmunoRes. A24126) 10 µg/mL; goat anti-rabbit IgG AF647 (Invitrogen A21245) 10 µg/mL diluted in 5% BSA in PBS. Then the cells were washed 3-times for 5 min in PBS, post-fixed for 15 min in 2% PFA in PBS and washed 3-times for 5 min in PBS. All procedures were performed at RT and the cells were stored in PBS in the fridge overnight prior imaging. Coverslips with cells were mounted in the Chamlide chamber (Live Cell Instrument, Korea) and covered with imaging buffer (PBS pH 7.4, 50 mM MEA). Single-molecule localizations (SMLs) data were acquired by Zeiss Elyra PS.1 equipped with HR Diode 642-150 and HR DPSS 561-200 lasers, Alpha Plan-Apochromat 100x/1.46 oil DIC M27 Elyra objective and Andor EM CCD iXon DU 897 camera and Zeiss ZEN Black 2.1 SP3 software (Zeiss). AF647 and AF555 photo-switching was achieved by HiLo illumination and TIRF HP FOV with 100% power of 642nm or 561nm laser, and the signal was acquired via MBS 642 + EF LP 655 and MBS 561 + EF BP 570-620 / LP 750 filters, respectively. Exposure time was 40 ms and EM gain was 300 for both channels. SMLs were calculated in 2D by Zeiss ZEN Black 2.1 SP3 software using x,y 2D Gauss fit with point spread function (PSF) half width 177.9 nm, peak mask size 9 pixels and peak intensity to noise 6 and accounted for overlap in 2D with max cluster size 10. SMLs were rendered in ZEN software with 10 nm/px resolution and 1x PSF expansion factor. The data were model-based drift corrected in ZEN. Two channels were aligned using tetraspec beads fiducial markers for affine calibration. Drift-corrected and aligned localization coordinates were exported as text files. Text files were converted into csv files and imported using self-written macro (Hoboth et al., 2021a) into the ImageJ2 (Rueden et al., 2017) plug-in ThunderSTORM, visualized by normalized Gaussian method (Ovesny et al., 2014).
