ABSTRACT

Most of the human genome is non-coding. However, some of the non-coding part is transcriptionally active. In humans, the tandemly repeated (TR) pericentromeric non-coding DNA-human satellites 2 and 3 (HS2, HS3)-are transcribed in somatic cells. These transcripts are also found in pre- and post-implantation embryos. The aim of this study was to analyze HS2/HS3 transcription and cellular localization of transcripts in human maturating oocytes. The maternal HS2/HS3 TR transcripts transcribed from both strands were accumulated in the ooplasm in GV-MI oocytes as shown by DNA-RNA FISH (fluorescence in-situ hybridization). The transcripts' content was higher in GV oocytes than in somatic cumulus cells according to real-time PCR. Using bioinformatics analysis, we demonstrated the presence of polyadenylated HS2 and HS3 RNAs in datasets of GV and MII oocyte transcriptomes. The transcripts shared a high degree of homology with HS2, HS3 transcripts previously observed in cancer cells. The HS2/HS3 transcripts were revealed by a combination of FISH and immunocytochemical staining within membraneless RNP structures that contained DEAD-box helicases DDX5 and DDX4. The RNP structures were closely associated with mitochondria, and are therefore similar to membraneless bodies described previously only in oogonia. These membraneless structures may be a site for spatial sequestration of RNAs and proteins in both maturating oocytes and cancer cells.

ABSTRACT

Comparative studies of genomes of lower Metazoa showed that many classes of transcription factors important for the development of bilateral animals appeared before the divergence of modem branches of the animal kingdom. The genes of the Hox-cluster appeared late, in the last common ancestor of Cnidaria and Bilateria. Structural expansion and perfection of mechanisms which integrate the Hox-cluster can be traced in the morphogenesis of modern bilateral animals. It is now evident that different strategies of using this regulator instrument led Bilateria to absolute domination in number and diversity of species among all Metazoa animals.

ABSTRACT

We have undertaken an active search for homeobox-containing sequences of Antp class (Hox genes) in the genome DNA of polychaete Nereis virens. This search was based on the high evolutionary conservation of these sequences, which made possible their amplification in the polymerase chain reaction with degenerate primers. As a result, eleven fragments of various Hox genes, including AbdB-like Nvi-post1, were cloned. Using pulsed-field electrophoresis, we have demonstrated that Hox genes corresponding to the isolated fragments are clustered in the genome of N. virens.
