Description
During S-phase of the cell cycle production of the core histone proteins is precisely balanced with DNA replication. Metazoan mRNAs encoding replication dependent (RD) histones lack polyA tail normally formed by 3' end cleavage and coupled polyadenylation of the pre-mRNA. Instead, they undergoes to endonucleolytic cleavage on the 3' side of an RNA hairpin (stem loop) producing mRNA with a 3´-stem loop (SL), which is exported from the nucleus for use in translation. The same endonuclease that is involved in normal protein-coding pre-mRNA cleavage, i.e. cleavage and poyladenylation specificity factor 73 (CPSF73), is proposed to catalyse RD pre-histone mRNA cleavage. Additional factors specific to RD pre-histone mRNA processing, including stem loop binding protein (SLBP) and the U7 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (U7snRNP) that binds to a histone downstream element (HDE) are thought to be involved in CPSF73 targeting to RD pre-histone mRNA. We report that a different histone specific endonuclease (HSE), which like CPSF73 is a metallo ß lactamase (MBL) fold protein, is specific for RD pre-histone mRNA cleavage10,11. Crystallographic and biochemical studies reveal HSE has a di-zinc ion containing active site related to that of CPSF73, but which has distinct overall fold. Notably HSE depletion from cells leads to the production of unprocessed RD pre-histone mRNA due to inefficient 3' end processing. The consequent depletion of core histone proteins correlates with a cell cycle defect due to a delay in entering/progressing through S-phase. HSE thus may represent a new type of S-phase specific cancer target. Overall design: Examination of chromatin mRNA profiles in HeLa cells after depletion of HSE or CPSF73 by siRNA treatment.

Description
We report a pilot investigation for poly-A RNAs differentially expressed during Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. Participation in this investigation from March 2010 to July 2013 was voluntary, only subjects that were >18 years old and that informed written consent were considered eligible. The recruitment of tuberculosis (TB) patients was done at public hospitals in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The diagnostic criteria for active pulmonary tuberculosis was at least one AFB (acid-fast bacilli) -positive sputum sample for M. tuberculosis and/or positive sputum culture and/or compatible clinical evolution for pulmonary TB and less than 15 days of anti-TB treatment and was in accordance with those of the Brazilian Ministry of Health. Blood was collected from recent close contacts (rCt) and active tuberculosis (TB) index cases (n=6). Latent TB infection (LTBI) was accessed by both tuberculin skin test (TST, cut-off = 5mm) and in house interferon-gamma release assays (IGRA, cut-off = 100 pg/ml), therefore, 12 rCt were classified as uninfected controls and 16 with LTBI. Subsequently, the sequencing was performed following the standard protocols on Illumina HiSeq® 2500 Sequencing System (Illumina, San Diego, CA) running 100 bp paired-end reads (PE100) and generating approximately 30 million reads passing filter for each sample to produce the mRNA reads. Mining these RNAseq data, highly prominent modulation of DOCK9, EPHA4, and NPC2 mRNA expression was observed in the TB samples, indicating that they might have a role in TB pathogenesis. These differential modulations upon M. Tuberculosis infection were further validated by additional evidences in larger cohorts from different geographical areas. Overall design: We collected blood samples from the recent close contacts (rCt) at the recruitment and monitored them for 1-year. All TB participants were treatment-naïve. An infection mRNA signature was derived from whole blood RNA sequencing data by comparing TB and uninfected rCt. We selected the 3 most prominent genes, by area under the ROC curve analysis, for additional validations. Some of the LTBI participants also showed the mRNA infection profile.

Description
The IgH locus encodes for part of the antibody exposed by B cells and is important for the immune system. In B cells, one allele produces protein, the other must remain silenced. It was proposed that both alleles reside in different nuclear compartments and that this is important to maintain mono-allelic productivity. Here we challenge this concept. We provide detailed genome-wide contact maps, which show that IgH adopts different nuclear locations in immune versus other cells but also demonstrate that in B cells both alleles reside in the same environment. Nuclear positioning is therefore not important to maintain allelic exclusion.

This work was conducted to identify shared and specific target genes of different ETS transcription factor rearrangements in prostate cancer. Potential target genes were identified by differential gene expression analysis of primary tumor samples with ETS rearrangements, and validated by ETS silencing in prostate cancer cell lines.

Description
During B cell development the precursor B cell receptor (pre-BCR) checkpoint is thought to increase immunoglobulin k light chain (Igk) locus accessibility to the V(D)J recombinase. Accordingly, pre-B cells lacking the pre-BCR signaling molecules Btk or Slp65 showed reduced germline Vk transcription. To investigate whether pre-BCR signaling modulates Vk accessibility through enhancer-mediated Igk locus topology, we performed chromosome conformation capture and sequencing analyses. These revealed that already in pro-B cells the k enhancers robustly interact with the ~3.2 Mb Vk region and its flanking sequences. Analyses in wild-type, Btk and Slp65 single and double-deficient pre-B cells demonstrated that pre-BCR signaling reduces interactions of both enhancers with Igk locus flanking sequences and increases interactions of the 3k enhancer with Vk genes. Remarkably, pre-BCR signaling does not significantly affect interactions between the intronic enhancer and Vk genes, which are already robust in pro-B cells. Both enhancers interact most frequently with highly used Vk genes, which are often marked by transcription factor E2a. We conclude that the k enhancers interact with the Vk region already in pro-B cells and that pre-BCR signaling induces accessibility through a functional redistribution of long-range chromatin interactions within the Vk region, whereby the two enhancers play distinct roles.

Description
Over the last years, evidence has grown that exposure to air pollution, in addition to impairing lung function and health in individuals of all age, can be linked to negative effects in newborn when present during pregnancy. Data suggests that intrauterine exposure of fetuses (exposure of the mother to air pollution during pregnancy) in fact exerts a negative impact on lung development. However, the means by which exposure during pregnancy affects lung development, have not been studied in depth yet. In this study, we investigated alterations of the transcriptome of the developing lung in a mouse model of gestational and early-life postnatal exposure to urban PM2.5 (from Sao Paulo, Brazil).
