    Abstract Canonical Krüppel-associated box (KRAB)-containing zinc finger proteins (KZFPs) act as major repressors of transposable elements (TEs) via the KRAB-mediated recruitment of the heterochromatin scaffold KRAB-associated protein (KAP)1. KZFP genes emerged some 420 million years ago in the last common ancestor of coelacanth, lungfish, and tetrapods, and dramatically expanded to give rise to lineage-specific repertoires in contemporary species paralleling their TE load and turnover. However, the KRAB domain displays sequence and function variations that reveal repeated diversions from a linear TE-KZFP trajectory. This Review summarizes current knowledge on the evolution of KZFPs and discusses how ancestral noncanonical KZFPs endowed with variant KRAB, SCAN or DUF3669 domains have been utilized to achieve KAP1-independent functions.

    Abstract Growing evidence indicates that transposable elements (TEs) play important roles in evolution by providing genomes with coding and non-coding sequences. Identification of TE-derived functional elements, however, has relied on TE annotations in individual species, which limits its scope to relatively intact TE sequences. Here, we report a novel approach to uncover previously unannotated degenerate TEs (degTEs) by probing multiple ancestral genomes reconstructed from hundreds of species. We applied this method to the human genome and achieved a 10.8% increase in coverage over the most recent annotation. Further, we discovered that degTEs contribute to various cis-regulatory elements and transcription factor binding sites, including those of a known TE-controlling family, the KRAB zinc-finger proteins. We also report unannotated chimeric transcripts between degTEs and human genes expressed in embryos. This study provides a novel methodology and a freely available resource that will facilitate the investigation of TE co-option events on a full scale.

    Abstract RNA-binding proteins are instrumental for post-transcriptional gene regulation, controlling all aspects throughout the lifecycle of RNA molecules. However, transcriptome-wide methods to profile RNA-protein interactions in vivo remain technically challenging and require large amounts of starting material. Herein, we present an improved library preparation strategy for crosslinking and immunoprecipitation (CLIP) that is based on tailing and ligation of cDNA molecules (TLC). TLC involves the generation of solid-phase cDNA, followed by ribotailing to significantly enhance the efficiency of subsequent adapter ligation. These modifications result in a streamlined, fully bead-based library preparation strategy, which eliminates time-consuming purification procedures and drastically reduces sample loss. As a result, TLC-CLIP displays unparalleled sensitivity, enabling the profiling of RNA-protein interactions from as few as 1000 cells. To demonstrate the effectiveness of TLC-CLIP, we profiled four endogenous RNA-binding proteins, showcasing its reproducibility and improved precision resulting from a higher occurrence of crosslinking-induced deletions. These deletions serve as an intrinsic quality metric and increase both specificity and nucleotide-resolution.

    Abstract Many of the hundreds of KRAB zinc finger proteins encoded by human and mouse are involved in taming the transcriptional regulatory potential of transposable elements. Reporting recently in Science, Yang et al. (2017) reveal that one murine family member, ZFP568, controls Igf2 expression for proper embryonic and placental development.

    Abstract Transposable elements (TEs) are prevalent repeats in the human genome, play a significant role in the regulome, and their disruption can contribute to tumorigenesis. However, TE influence on gene expression in cancer remains unclear. Here, we analyze 275 normal colon and 276 colorectal cancer samples from the SYSCOL cohort, discovering 10,231 and 5,199 TE-expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) in normal and tumor tissues, respectively, of which 376 are colorectal cancer specific eQTLs, likely due to methylation changes. Tumor-specific TE-eQTLs show greater enrichment of transcription factors, compared to shared TE-eQTLs suggesting specific regulation of their expression in tumor. Bayesian networks reveal 1,766 TEs as mediators of genetic effects, altering the expression of 1,558 genes, including 55 known cancer driver genes and show that tumor-specific TE-eQTLs trigger the driver capability of TEs. These insights expand our knowledge of cancer drivers, deepening our understanding of tumorigenesis and presenting potential avenues for therapeutic interventions.
