Project description:Loss of nautilus (MyoD) gene function results in a variable phenotype affecting muscle formation in embryos and larvae, larval movement, pupal eclosion, egg deposition, adult mobility and survival. 8-miR cluster deletion disrupts muscle formation in the embryo while affecting protein production from the nautilus, dMef2 , regulators of the muscle transcriptional network. We propose the complex phenotype in the nautilus null is due to the disruption of the regulatory interactions provided by the 8-miR cluster. The results demonstrate that nautilus is an integral regulator of the miRNA circuitry buffering the transcriptional network directing muscle development. Two-condition experiment, wild type (w1118) vs. mutant (8-miR cluster null). Biological replicates: 3 wild type, 3 mutants, independently isolated. One of the biological replicate was dye swaped to avoid dye bias.

Project description:Loss of nautilus (MyoD) gene function results in a variable phenotype affecting muscle formation in embryos and larvae, larval movement, pupal eclosion, egg deposition, adult mobility and survival. mir-3 over expression disrupts muscle formation in the embryo while affecting protein production from the dMef2 and tinman genes, global regulators of the muscle transcriptional network. We propose the complex phenotype in the nautilus null is due to the disruption of the regulatory interactions provided by the 8-miR cluster. The results demonstrate that nautilus is an integral regulator of the miRNA circuitry buffering the transcriptional network directing muscle development. Two-condition experiment, wild type (w1118) vs. mutant (mir-3 ectopic expressionl). Biological replicates: 3 wild type, 3 mutants, independently isolated.

Project description:To determine if the Drosophila MyoD homolog, nautilus, was activating any miRNA loci, similar to vertebrate MyoD, we compared the miRNA expression profiles between wild-type (w1118) and nautilus null embryos during the window of maximum nautilus expression (6-8hr AEL), using LNA arrays specifically designed to quantify miRNA levels in Drosophila (Exiqon). Expression levels for mir-309, mir-3, mir-286, mir-4, mir-5, and mir-6 from the 8-miR cluster, were significantly decreased in nautilus null embryos. It suggests that the intergenic 8-miR cluster, encoding eight miRNAs, is regulated by nautilus. Two-condition experiment, wild type (w1118) vs. mutant (nautilus null). Biological replicates: 3 wild type, 3 mutants, independently isolated.

Project description:Embryos were collected, aged, mock-treated/treated with 40Gy gamma radiation, and allowed to recover for 1.5 hours. Targets from 3 sets of wild type (yw, w1118) and 2 sets of mutant (Dmp53NS) biological replicates were generated and the expression profiles were determined using Affymetrix Drosophila Genechip 1 arrays. Comparisons between the sample groups allow the identification of genes with radiation-responsive and Dmp53-dependent expression patterns. Experiment Overall Design: 3 sets of paired control and irradiated Wild Type and 2 sets of paired control and irradiated Mutant (Dmp53NS) biological replicates were analyzed

Project description:cdipt is an essential gene in the synthesis of phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) in the zebrafish, Danio rerio. The zebrafish mutant cdipt^hi559Tg (ZL782) carries a retroviral insertion which inactivates cdipt. Homozygous mutants exhibit hepatocellular endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) pathologies at 5 days post fertilization (dpf). This study reveals a novel link between PtdIns, ER stress, and steatosis. We compared whole animal gene expression profiles of hi559 mutant larvae with phenotypically wild type larvae from a heterozygote incross in triplicate.

Project description:Rad21 is a subunit of cohesin. The main function of cohesin is to hold replicated chromosomes together until cells divide, but it also plays a role in gene expression. To find out which genes might be regulated by cohesin, a study was conducted to look for global changes in gene expression in zebrafish embryos lacking cohesin component Rad21. The zebrafish Rad21 mutant used for expression analysis was rad21nz171, an allele isolated in a forward genetic screen for regulators of runx1. Experiment Overall Design: RNA from rad21nz171 mutant and wild type zebrafish embryos collected at 24 hours post-fertilization (h.p.f.) and 48 h.p.f. was hybridized to Affymetrix microarrays (Gene Chip zebrafish genome arrays cat. no. 900488). Four pools of 50 embryos for each genotype and time point were used as the RNA source, and RNA from each pool was hybridized independently such that the experiment had four biological replicates.

Project description:We have used trypsin-mediated wounding to amplify the transcriptional response to clean puncture wounding. We studied the transcriptional response of clean puncture wounding and trypsin puncture wounding in relation to unwounded wild-type late-stage embryos. Trypsin puncture wounding generally increases the puncture wounding fold induction relative to unwounded controls.

Project description:Purpose: Validation of Drosophila A-to-I editing sites Methods: We collected heads of 5 day old male dAdar-/- mutant (y, Adar5G1, w)26 and wild type (w1118) flies. Poly(A)+ RNA was used to prepare RNA-seq libraries which were subsequently sequenced single-end by an Illumina GAII Results:We builded a framework to identify RNA editing events using RNA-seq data alone in Drosophila. To validate whether the identified A-to-G sites were bona fide A-to-I editing events, we performed RNA-seq for the D.melanogaster wild-type strain (w1118) and for the Adar5G1 null mutant that eliminates RNA editing. We found that our method achieved high accuracy; 98.2% of all A-to-G sites showed only adenosine in the Adar5G1 sample Conclusions: We anticipate that our method will be very effective in the future to identify RNA editing events in different species. mRNA profiles of heads of 5 day old male dAdar-/- mutant (y, Adar5G1, w)26 and wild type (w1118) flies

Project description:Background: During the maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT) vast changes in the embryonic transcriptome are produced by a combination of two processes: elimination of maternally provided mRNAs and synthesis of new transcripts from the zygotic genome. Previous genome-wide analyses of the MZT have been restricted to whole embryos. Here we report the first such analysis for primordial germ cells (PGCs), the progenitors of the germ-line stem cells. Results: We purified PGCs from Drosophila embryos, defined their proteome and transcriptome, and assessed the content, scale and dynamics of their MZT. Transcripts encoding proteins that implement particular types of biological functions group into nine distinct expression profiles, reflecting coordinate control at the transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels. mRNAs encoding germ-plasm components and cell-cell signaling molecules are rapidly degraded while new transcription produces mRNAs encoding the core transcriptional and protein synthetic machineries. The RNA-binding protein, Smaug, is essential for the PGC MZT, clearing transcripts encoding proteins that regulate stem cell behavior, transcriptional and posttranscriptional processes. Computational analyses suggest that Smaug and AU-rich element binding-proteins function independently to control transcript elimination. Conclusion: The scale of the MZT is similar in the soma and PGCs. However, the timing and content of their MZTs differ, reflecting the distinct developmental imperatives of these cell types. The PGC MZT is delayed relative to that in the soma, likely because relief of PGC-specific transcriptional silencing is required for zygotic genome activation as well as for efficient maternal transcript clearance. There are 26 samples in total, including 1-to-3 hour, 3-to-5 hour, 5-to-7 hour PGCs in wild type and smaug mutant flies and 1-to-3 hour somatic cells in wild type flies. Except for the 1-to-3 hour and 3-to-5 hour smaug mutant PGCs which have three replicates, all the other samples have four replicates.
