Endogenous retrovirus-derived enhancers confer the transcriptional regulation of human trophoblast syncytialization. Nucleic Acids Res 2023; 51:4745-4759.

Abstract
Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) have been proposed as a driving force for the evolution of the mammalian placenta, however, the contribution of ERVs to placental development and the underlying regulatory mechanism remain largely elusive. A key process of placental development is the formation of multinucleated syncytiotrophoblasts (STBs) in direct contact with maternal blood, through which constitutes the maternal-fetal interface critical for nutrient allocation, hormone production and immunological modulation during pregnancy. We delineate that ERVs profoundly rewire the transcriptional program of trophoblast syncytialization. Here, we first determined the dynamic landscape of bivalent ERV-derived enhancers with dual occupancy of H3K27ac and H3K9me3 in human trophoblast stem cells (hTSCs). We further demonstrated that enhancers overlapping several ERV families tend to exhibit increased H3K27ac and reduced H3K9me3 occupancy in STBs relative to hTSCs. Particularly, bivalent enhancers derived from the Simiiformes-specific MER50 transposons were linked to a cluster of genes important for STB formation. Importantly, deletions of MER50 elements adjacent to several STB genes, including MFSD2A and TNFAIP2, significantly attenuated their expression concomitant to compromised syncytium formation. Together, we propose that ERV-derived enhancers, MER50 specifically, fine-tune the transcriptional networks accounting for human trophoblast syncytialization, which sheds light on a novel ERV-mediated regulatory mechanism underlying placental development.

Abstract
Zoonomia is the largest comparative genomics resource for mammals produced to date. By aligning genomes for 240 species, we identify bases that, when mutated, are likely to affect fitness and alter disease risk. At least 332 million bases (~10.7%) in the human genome are unusually conserved across species (evolutionarily constrained) relative to neutrally evolving repeats, and 4552 ultraconserved elements are nearly perfectly conserved. Of 101 million significantly constrained single bases, 80% are outside protein-coding exons and half have no functional annotations in the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) resource. Changes in genes and regulatory elements are associated with exceptional mammalian traits, such as hibernation, that could inform therapeutic development. Earth's vast and imperiled biodiversity offers distinctive power for identifying genetic variants that affect genome function and organismal phenotypes.

Abstract
Transposable elements (TEs) are widespread genetic parasites known to be kept under tight transcriptional control. Here, we describe a functional connection between the mouse-orthologous “nuclear exosome targeting” (NEXT) and “human silencing hub” (HUSH) complexes, involved in nuclear RNA decay and the epigenetic silencing of TEs, respectively. Knocking out the NEXT component ZCCHC8 in embryonic stem cells results in elevated TE RNA levels. We identify a physical interaction between ZCCHC8 and the MPP8 protein of HUSH and establish that HUSH recruits NEXT to chromatin at MPP8-bound TE loci. However, while NEXT and HUSH both dampen TE RNA expression, their activities predominantly affect shorter non-polyadenylated and full-length polyadenylated transcripts, respectively. Indeed, our data suggest that the repressive action of HUSH promotes a condition favoring NEXT RNA decay activity. In this way, transcriptional and post-transcriptional machineries synergize to suppress the genotoxic potential of TE RNAs. Garland et al. report a physical and functional connection between the NEXT complex, involved in RNA decay, and the HUSH complex, involved in chromatin regulation. Together, NEXT and HUSH cooperate to control transposable element (TE) RNA expression in embryonic stem cells, suppressing pA− and pA+ transcripts, respectively.
