Determinants of Mutation Outcome Predicting mutation outcome from early stochastic variation in genetic interaction partners

Normal Mutant outcomes Phenotypic discordance remains even in the absence of genetic variation! 2 think of monozygotic twins Incomplete penetrance

We are not dimorphic and mutation is not alone phenotypically influential What are the determinants of mutations outcome?  genetic variations  environmental risk factors  ? ? ?

ABSTRACT | Many mutations, including those that cause disease, only have a detrimental effect in a subset of individuals. The reasons for this are usually unknown, but may include additional genetic variation and environmental risk factors. However, phenotypic discordance remains even in the absence of genetic variation, for example between monozygotic twins, and incomplete penetrance of mutations is frequent in isogenic model organisms in homogeneous environments. Here we propose a model for incomplete penetrance based on genetic interaction networks. Using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model system, we identify two compensation mechanisms that vary among individuals and influence mutation outcome. First, feedback induction of an ancestral gene duplicate differs across individuals, with high expression masking the effects of a mutation. This supports the hypothesis that redundancy is maintained in genomes to buffer stochastic developmental failure. Second, during normal embryonic development we find that there is substantial variation in the induction of molecular chaperones * such as Hsp90 (DAF-21). Chaperones act as promiscuous buffers of genetic variation, and embryos with stronger induction of Hsp90 are less likely to be affected by an inherited mutation. Simultaneously quantifying the variation in these two independent responses allows the phenotypic outcome of a mutation to be more accurately predicted in individuals. Our model and methodology provide a framework for dissecting the causes of incomplete penetrance. Further, the results establish that inter-individual variation in both specific and more general buffering systems combine to determine the outcome inherited mutations in each individual. Predicting mutation outcome from early stochastic variation in genetic interaction partners *chaperone: 伴护,监护人

genetic interaction network stochastic variation Model Introduction an incompletely penetrant defect in C. elegans larval morphology owing to abnormal development of epidermis and muscle T-box TF gene tbx-9tbx-8 ancestral gene duplication loss synthetic lethality

1)If the incomplete penetrance of tbx-9 relates to variation in the expression of tbx-8, … Experiments Increased expression of TBX-8 reduced the penetrance of a tbx-9 (ok2473) inter-individual variation ptbx-8::GFP a fluorescent reporter driven by the tbx-8 promoter

2)the induction of the tbx-8 The induction of the tbx-8 reporter in tbx-9 mutant is 1.2-fold upregulated. (Confirmed)  A direct or indirect feedback mechanism exists that upregulates transcription of tbx-8 when its ancestry paralogue (tbx-9) is inactivated.  Interestingly, this feedback also acts on the tbx-9 promoter, which is also upregulated in a tbx-9 mutant background. (high similarity between paralogues?)  consistent with observation in yeast The compensatory expression by negative feedback regulation of gene duplicates is probably a conserved phenomenon across species.

3)whether variation in the induction of tbx-8 correlated with the outcome of the tbx-9 mutation at hatching. Higher in the WT 80% of the embryos with reporter expression in the highest quartile hatched without a defect, conversely, only 40%. Ubiquitous promoters did not predicted the outcome. early expression of the reporter in embryos that did, and did not hatch with an abnormal phenotype  High expression of the synthetic lethal partner tbx-8 is partly epistatic to the loss of tbx-9. reverse situation: tbx-8 mutant, ptbx-9 reporter same conclusion

4)cross-validation the analogous FLYWCH TFs: flh-1 and flh-2 flh-1mutant embryos induced higher levels of a pflh-2::GFP reporter than WT embryos. neither upregulation of a tbx-8 reporter in an flh-1 background, nor upregulation of an flh-2 reporter in a tbx-9 mutant the same situation to the prediction

Conclusion 1: Many ancestral gene duplicates have retained partly redundant functions over extensive evolutionary periods. One explanation for this could be the selection pressure provided by stochastic developmental errors. This research empirically supported: When one member of a partly redundant gene pair is inactivated, expression variation in the other gene becomes an important influence on the phenotype of an individual.

HOWEVER, the variation in the induction of tbx-8 only partly accounts for variation in the outcome of the tbx-9 mutation.  One additional influence on mutation outcome could be: variation in the activity of general buffering systems such as molecular chaperones Chaperone inhibition can enhance the effects of diverse mutations and increased chaperone activity promiscuously suppresses detrimental mutations in bacteria.

5)quantifying the influence of chaperones pdaf-21::mCherry: reporter for chaperone daf-21 Induction during embryonic development also varied substantially, even in the absence of a mutation or environmental perturbation. pdaf-21::GFP: another independent daf-21 reporter phsp-4::GFP: a reporter for the gene hsp-4 Transcription from the hsp-4 promoter also varied extensively among embryos (not shown) and was correlated with that from the daf-21 promoter, similar to the correlation between two independent daf-21 reporters. This variability is not particular to dar-21, but common to other chaperones!

6)prediction of chaperones in mutation outcome The mean induction of the reporter was increased in tbx-9 mutant. Animals with higher levels of the reporter early in development more likely to be WT later.  tbx-8 mutant was also similarly predicted.

Conclusion 2: During normal development, isogenic embryos differ in a coordinated manner in the transcriptional induction of multiple chaperones. Higher chaperone expression during early embryonic development therefore predicts a reduced effect of the inherited mutation.

7)quantifying simultaneously inter-individual variation in the expression of both buffering systems no correlation between the tbx-8 and daf-21 reporters  the two buffering systems vary independently dividing the tbx-9 mutation embryos into four groups, depending upon the two medians of the reporters the proportion of individuals hatching as WT larvae (blue points) in each group 30% 68% 63% 92%  Non-genetic variation in two buffering systems can be almost completely epistatic to the tbx-9 mutation.
