ChIA–PET analysis defines the RNAPII interactome in rice during a circadian cycle
RNA聚合酶II(RNAPII)是真核生物基因轉錄的關(guān)鍵亞基,重要轉錄元器件。在本分析中,最先制作了RNAPII在一天中不一樣時(shí)間點(diǎn)的順?lè )唇M圖普,表明35%的RNAPII團塊在一天中展現規律轉變,再融合規律轉錄組數據信息,發(fā)覺(jué)RNAPII數據信號水準與規律基因的表達水準展現明顯正關(guān)聯(lián)性,且RNAPII征募全過(guò)程比mRNA累積提早2鐘頭。接著(zhù),運用優(yōu)化的Long-read ChIA-PET技術(shù)性,搭建了RNAPII受體的白天黑夜染色質(zhì)互動(dòng)圖普,結構化分析了在不一樣的三維構造限度下對規律基因轉錄的危害。
科學(xué)研究數據顯示,在染色質(zhì)環(huán)水準,RNAPII在遲早各自受體了20,667和21,001個(gè)染色質(zhì)遠程控制互作,在其中32,697(91%)個(gè)遠程控制互動(dòng)是遲早特異性的。且一天中一樣或相鄰相位差的規律遺傳基因趨向于在區域上集聚在一起,開(kāi)展協(xié)作表述。從同一個(gè)遺傳基因結構域傳出的染色質(zhì)環(huán)產(chǎn)生染色質(zhì)室內空間互動(dòng)簇(CSC),研究發(fā)現規律表述遺傳基因趨向于聚集在早上特異性的CSC,而不是規律遺傳基因趨向于聚集在晚上特異性的CSC。白天黑夜染色質(zhì)互動(dòng)互聯(lián)網(wǎng)分析表明,關(guān)鍵規律鐘遺傳基因在早上均遍布在RNAPII受體的染色質(zhì)網(wǎng)絡(luò )連接中,而在晚上則是分散開(kāi)來(lái)、零星散播在較小的染色質(zhì)網(wǎng)絡(luò )連接中,這表明關(guān)鍵規律鐘遺傳基因在早上彼此之間室內空間上互相貼近開(kāi)展協(xié)作轉錄,而在晚上則是坐落于離散變量的“轉錄加工廠(chǎng)” 中。這種白天黑夜變化規律的稻子高像素三維分子生物學(xué)分析和對規律遺傳基因的互作管控信息內容,有利于大家深層次了解稻子不一樣室內空間限度上DNA 順式管控元器件中間相互影響的規律變化趨勢,從而表明其管控遺傳基因規律表述和關(guān)鍵農業(yè)特性的原理,為稻子基因遺傳改進(jìn)和別的農作物的分析給予主要的現實(shí)意義和科學(xué)合理使用價(jià)值。

【英文摘要】
Background: The daily cycling of plant physiological processes is speculated to arise from the coordinated rhythms of gene expression. However, the dynamics of diurnal 3D genome architecture and their potential functions underlying rhythmic gene expression remain unclear.
Results: Here, we reveal the genome-wide rhythmic occupancy of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII), which precedes mRNA accumulation by approximately 2 h. Rhythmic RNAPII binding dynamically correlates with RNAPII-mediated chromatin architecture remodeling at the genomic level of chromatin interactions, spatial clusters, and chromatin connectivity maps, which are associated with the circadian rhythm of gene expression. Rhythmically expressed genes within the same peak phases of expression are preferentially tethered by RNAPII for coordinated transcription. RNAPII-associated chromatin spatial clusters (CSCs) show high plasticity during the circadian cycle, and rhythmically expressed genes in the morning phase and non-rhythmically expressed genes in the evening phase tend to be enriched in RNAPII-associated CSCs to orchestrate expression. Core circadian clock genes are associated with RNAPII-mediated highly connected chromatin connectivity networks in the morning in contrast to the scattered, sporadic spatial chromatin connectivity in the evening; this indicates that they are transcribed within physical proximity to each other during the AM circadian window and are located in discrete “transcriptional factory” foci in the evening, linking chromatin architecture to coordinated transcription outputs.
Conclusion: Our findings uncover fundamental diurnal genome folding principles in plants and reveal a distinct higher-order chromosome organization that is crucial for coordinating diurnal dynamics of transcriptional regulation.
