Transcription profiling of Drosophila melanogaster ablated mushroom bodies vs unablated MB to investigate the repertoire of MB genes that control initiation and maintenance of neural differentiation during learning and memory

ABSTRACT: Mushroom bodies (MBs) are the centers for olfactory associative learning and elementary cognitive functions in the Drosophila brain. To get insights of the repertoire of MB genes that control initiation and maintenance of neural differentiation as well as the repertoire of neural factors that may have functions in the synaptic plasticity of MB neurons during learning and memory, we compared the transcript profiles between wild type and MB-ablated brains using a Drosophila whole-genome microarray. Newly hatched larvae were briefly administered with a DNA-synthesis inhibitor, hydroxyurea, and raised to adults, from which total brain RNA was analyzed. Experiment Overall Design: Two conditions analyzed: Control Brains and Musroom Body-ablated brains. Experiment Overall Design: Each condition was analyzed in triplicate.

Mushroom bodies (MBs) are the centers for olfactory associative learning and elementary cognitive functions in the Drosophila brain. As a way to systematically elucidate genes preferentially expressed in MBs, we have analyzed genome-wide alterations in transcript profiles associated with MB ablation by hydroxyurea. We selected 100 genes based on microarray data and examined their expression patterns in the brain by in situ hybridization. Seventy genes were found to be expressed in the posterodor ...[more]

Project description:Eukaryotic DNA replication initiates from multiple sites on each chromosome called replication origins. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, origins are defined at discrete sites. Regular spacing and diverse firing characteristics of origins are thought to be required for efficient completion of replication, especially in the presence of replication stress. However, a S. cerevisiae chromosome III harboring multiple origin deletions has been reported to replicate relatively normally, and yet how an origin-deficient chromosome could accomplish successful replication remains unkown. To address this issue, we deleted seven well-characterized origins from chromosome VI, and found that thsese deletions do not cause gross growth defects even in the presence of replication inhibitors. We demonstrated that the origin deletions do cause a strong decrease in the binding of the origin recognition complex. Unexpectedly, replication profiling of this chromosome showed that DNA replication initiates from non-canonical loci around deleted origins in yeast. These results suggest that replication initiation can be unexpectedly flexible in this organism. In this study, we aimed to establish an independent system to investigate how an origin-deficient chromosome is replicated. To this end, we systematically deleted seven well-characterized origins on the left arm of S. cerevisiae chromosome VI and analyzed (1) Orc2 localization during G2/M arrest and (2) BrdU incorporation during synchronous release from G1 arrest into S-phase, and compared the results to wild-type cell signals. For Orc2 ChIP-Chip experiments, Orc-bound DNA was isolated from Orc2-2Xlinker-3XFlag epitope-tagged cells arrested in G2/M using antibodies against Flag. For BrdU ChIP-Chip experiments, actively replicating DNA was isolated from cells harboring a single integrated BrdU incorporation vector released synchronously into 200mM HU using antibodies against BrdU. Immunoprecipitated and input (Orc2) or G1 (BrdU) DNA was then amplified and competitively hybridized to high-resolution strand-specific microarrays covering chromosomes III, VI, and XII.
