What is piRNA
• Small RNAs: piRNA, siRNA, miRNA.• piRNA: derive from repetitive genomic
element, interact with PIWIAGO

piRNA biogenesisLong precursor can generate a lot of piRNAs, thus is piRNA cluster
Not only piwi. Piwi interact with Tudor-domain proteins directly.
Tudor-domain proteins methylate arginine in piwi, which differs piwi with other AGOs. Piwi also
needs Armi.

Putative roles for piRNA during silencing of protein-coding genes
In drosophila testis, if Su on ChrY do not work, Ste on ChrX is deprepressed, which leads to infertility.
Piwi expression driven by TJ. piR from 3’UTR of tj together with piwi suppress Fas3.
In drosophila testis, AT-chrX code piR, piR interact with AUB, and little AGO3, to suppress vasa
Failure of nos mRNA deadenylation and translational repression by piR

piRNA at different developmental stages in mouse
Piwi family in mouse:
MIWI2, MIWI, MILI
TDR: tudor domain containing proteins. Bind piwi directly.
piR enriched in TE. Binds MILI
and MIWI2
piR not enriched in TE. Binds MIWI
and MILI
Conclusion: different developmental stage,
different protein and piR
Pachytene: cross over happens

Current Evolutionary studies demonstrate
• piRNA strongly repress retrotransposons, co-evole?
• piRNA evolves very fast among species
• piRNA loci locates in low recombination region
• piRNA show a signature of selective constraint in African populations
![Page 8: Research progress of piRNA evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/56816598550346895dd8709c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Molecular evolution: piRNA evolves super fast and do not lost
• Rapid repetitive element-mediated expansion of piRNA clusters in mammalian evolution (09 PNAS, Assis et. al, U Michigan)
1) 43% of all rodent piR clusters arose after rodent-primate divergence. While the highest known expansion rate for olfactory receptors is 33%.
2) Olfactory receptors and miRNAs are lost at the same rate with which they are acquired. However, not a single cluster loss was observed for piRNA.
![Page 9: Research progress of piRNA evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/56816598550346895dd8709c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Positive selection most likely
• RE(repetitive element) usually increases deletions more than insertions.
• 60 cluster acquisitions without a single loss• Long insertions are unlikely to be neutual• piRNAs are involved in transposon silencing.
• So, an arms race between expanding families of mammalian TE and piRNA cluster?

Population dynamics of piRNA and TE(transposable element) in Drosophila
• Jian Lu and Andrew G. Clark, PNAS 2010• Activities of a large number of retrotransposons
are severely silenced by piRNAs. 1) quantified expression levels of 32 TE families 2) in ovaries of one wild-type and three piRNA
mutants• Other reports prove piRNA silence transposons.

Forward simulation of piRTs and targetRTs
• Focus on retrotransposon only• Retrotransposons including piRTs: located
inside piRNA loci; targetRTs: remaining.• Model: largely come from Dolgin and
Charlesworth, Genetics, 2008Start prameters
Selection: fitness is exponential quadratic, decreasing function of TE copy number.
recombination: uniform distribution of crossover positionstransposition and excision(Poisson process throughout genome)
For 15000 generations

parameters• Ne = 10e6, constant-sized• One chromosome, 40Mb(close to chr2,3)• One chr one crossover per generation, r = 2.5e-8• Fitness of chr: ; n: the number
of retrotransposons; a = 10e-5; b = 5e-6• Excision rate is v. v = 0• For targetRTs, retrotransposition rate is u1 if
piRNA is not expressed in the cell, u2 if piRNA is expressed.

Model piRNA’s suppression effect
• For targetRTs, retrotransposition rate is u1 if piRNA is not expressed in the cell, u2 if piRNA is expressed.
• Four scenarios: 1) piRNAs have no repression effect: u1 = u2
2) 3) 4) piRNAs can reduce retrotransposition rates to 10%, 1% and 0.1%(u2 = 0.1u1, 0.01u1, 0.001u1)
![Page 16: Research progress of piRNA evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/56816598550346895dd8709c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Model’s other assumptions
• Retrotransposons inserted into piRNA-generating regions will be suppressed.
• No sequence divergence between paralogous copies of retrotransposons, so that one piRNA can potentially repress all retrotransposons.
• Retrotransposons located inside piRNA loci lose the ability to retrotranspose
• Ectopic recombination is not allowed

Forward simulation for 15000 generations: active piR repress retrotransposons and increase
fitness

![Page 18: Research progress of piRNA evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/56816598550346895dd8709c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Forward simulation for 15000 generations: if piR is active, piRTs increases with time

Scenario I

Frequency spectra of piRT insertions:When piRNA takes effect, piRTs have a higher probability to be fixed
![Page 20: Research progress of piRNA evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/56816598550346895dd8709c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Frequency spectra of targetRT insertionsAlso has a higher probability to be fixed, because their deleterious effects are alleviated by piRNAs
![Page 21: Research progress of piRNA evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/56816598550346895dd8709c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Frequency spectra of piRT and targetRT from published genomic data: recombination matters
A vs. B: TE longer than 500bp
C vs. D: subset of A vs. B, recombination occured
No recombination occured
Combination of 2 datasets
![Page 22: Research progress of piRNA evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/56816598550346895dd8709c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
TE and piR like low recombination regions
• piR loci enriched in ericentromeric or telomeric heterochromatin
• TEs significantly enriched in low recombination regions, even in euchromatin
• When recombination occurs, piRTs are deleterious because they can mediate ectopic recombination
** piRNA also enriches in centromeric and telomeric region. Telomeric lacZ insertion produces abundant piRNAs. Telomere is a picluster?

Reducing recombination rate of piRNA loci greatly reduces retrotransposons
Recombination rate = 2.5e-8 Recombination rate = 0

Human piRNAs are under selection in Africans and Repress TEs
• Sergio Lukic and Kevin Chen, MBE, 2011• Material and methods: human piR sequences(Girard et al. 2006) mouse piR sequences(Lau et al. 2006) Hapmap phase3 data methods: derived allele frequency spectrum;
BWA tool, mapping reads
![Page 25: Research progress of piRNA evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/56816598550346895dd8709c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
piR evolved rapidly between human and chimp
• piR region vs. piR flanking region piR flanking region (1000bp each side of piR); nucleotide substitution between human and
chimp is not significantly different between piR region and piR flanking region
![Page 26: Research progress of piRNA evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/56816598550346895dd8709c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Selective constraint in African populations

Selective constraint in Africans is consistent with a much higher rate of transposon insertions in African compared with non-African populations(Ewing A, Kazazian H, Genome Res, 2010)
![Page 30: Research progress of piRNA evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/56816598550346895dd8709c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Interspecies: no constraintintraspecies: constraint in Africans;
mild constraint in non-African
• Explanation1: strength of selective constraint my simply differ between these two time scales.
• Explanation2: interspecies substitution rate, but not the derived allele frequency distribution, is affected by mutation rate biases.

younger TE, more piR targets
Younger TEs are more active, so more piRNAs which target them remain in current human genome; the pattern is the same for mouse
The pattern is the same in our data
