Project description:We identified genome-wide sites of occupancy for the intestine-specific transcription factor ELT-2 in L3-staged N2 worm by performing ELT-2 ChIP-seq on whole worms; we performed RNA-seq on L3-staged N2 whole worms To identify DNA regions of direct ELT-2 occupancy, we performed the following ChIP-seq assays 1) ELT-2 ChIP-seq on L3 staged N2 C. elegans worms; 2) H3K4me3 ChIP-seq on matched L3 staged N2 worms; 3) Mock IgG-only ChIP-seq negative control on L3 stage N2 worms. Input DNA was also sequenced for each replicate. In addition, we performed RNA-seq on two replicates of L3 N2 C. elegans worms.

Project description:ChIP seq of Cfp-1 and H3K4me3 in C. elegans late embryos The coding region of F52B11.1a (cfp-1) was PCR amplified from N2 genomic DNA using Phusion polymerase (Finnzymes) and Gateway cloned into pDONR221. The cfp-1 coding region was then recombined into the MosSCI compatible vector pCFJ201 (which targets Mos site Mos1(cxTi10882) chrIV ) downstream of the dpy-30 promoter and upstream of gfp::tbb-2 3’UTR (Zeiser et al. 2011) to generae strain JA1597 expressing GFP tagged Cfp-1 protein. Late embryos were obtained by aging embryos collected by hypochlorite treatment 3.5 hrs prior to flash freezing in liquid nitrogen. Formaldehyde-fixed chromatin extracts and chromatin immunoprecipitations were as in (Kolasinska-Zwierz et al. 2009) except that DNA was sonicated to a size range of 200-400bp. ChIP assays were performed in 1 ml extract (1 mg protein) in FA buffer with 10 micrograms of anti-GFP rabbit serum (Abcam ab290) and anti-H3K4me3 (Abcam ab8580) individually. DNA sequencing libraries were constructed according using the Illumina Truseq sequencing kit and were sequenced on the Illumina platform.

Project description:DRM is a conserved transcription factor complex that includes E2F/DP and pRB family proteins and plays important roles in development and cancer. Here we analyze genome-wide binding and function of the C. elegans DRM subunit LIN-54. We demonstrate that LIN-54 DNA-binding activity is required for the DRM complex to efficiently bind and regulate target genes containing adjacent putative E2F/DP and LIN-54 binding sites. We show that LIN-54 binds to the promoters of genes involved in cell division, development, and reproduction, and acts differently in the germline versus the soma. The E2F/DP-LIN-54 binding motif, individual target genes, and overall DRM function are conserved among worms, flies, and humans. Despite this conservation, we discovered one striking feature of C. elegans DRM not shared in flies or humans: it is depleted from X chromosomes. We show that DRM binding, the E2F-LIN-54 hybrid motif, and LIN-54-regulated genes are all autosome-enriched. Chromatin-immunoprecipitation of mixed staged wild-type C.elegans (N2, Bristol strain) was performed using non-commercial anti-LIN-54 antibody raised in guinea pig (Harrison et at. 2006).

Project description:We used RNA-Seq to compare transcriptomes of chemical reprogramming competent worms versus worms not competent for chemical reprogramming. We also performed RNA-seq during a time course of chemical reprogramming. Three replicates of each of two reprogramming non-competent strains and three replicates of each of two reprogramming competent strains were collected. For the time course, five time points were analyzed (1, 2, 4, 6, and 18 hours) in either DMSO or DMSO + U0126 in three genotypes (non-reprogramming competent worms, reprogramming competent, and wildtype worms).

Project description:In this study we have investigated the effect of loss of math-33 activity on DAF-16-mediated target gene regulation in C. elegans under conditions of reduced Insulin/IGF-1 signaling (IIS). Using whole nematode RNA sequencing experiments we found that the daf-2(e1370)-mediated induction and repression of DAF-16 target genes was decreased in daf-2(e1370); math-33(tm3561) mutant animals. Our data suggest that the downregulation of endogenous DAF-16 isoforms in the absence of a functional MATH-33 severely affects the global expression of DAF-16 targets when IIS activity is reduced. Therefore, MATH-33 is essential for DAF-16-mediated target gene activation and repression in the context of IIS. DAF-16 mediated target gene regulation was analyzed in daf-2(e1370) nematodes and compared to daf-2(e1370); math-33(tm3561) mutant animals. daf-16(mu86); daf-2(e1370); N2 (wild type) and math-33(tm3561) single mutant animals were used as controls.

Project description:In this study, we analyzed the impact of a mutation in the wrn-1 gene compared to wild type worms and the dietary supplementation of vitamin C on the global mRNA expression of the whole C. elegans by the RNA-seq technology. Whole C. elegans mRNA profiles at the L4 stage of wild type and wrn-1(gk99) mutant animals treated with or without 10 mM ascorbate were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using the HiSeq 2000 machine form Illumina. Detailed statistics on the quality of the reads were calculated with FastQC (http://www.bioinformatics.babraham.ac.uk/projects/fastqc/). The 50 base pairs raw sequences were aligned on the C. elegans ce10/W220 genome with TopHat using the Ensembl annotations provided with the Illumina iGenomes. The htseq-count software (http://www-huber.embl.de/users/anders/HTSeq) was used to count the number of reads aligned to each gene. These counts were then normalized relative to the sequencing depth with DESeq.

Project description:The double-stranded RNA-binding protein Staufen has been implicated in various posttranscriptional gene regulatory processes. Here, we demonstrate that the Caenorhabditis elegans homolog of Staufen, STAU-1, functionally interacts with microRNAs. Loss-of-function mutations of stau-1 significantly suppress phenotypes of let-7 family microRNA mutants, a hypomorphic allele of dicer and a lsy-6 microRNA partial loss-of-function mutant. Furthermore, STAU-1 modulates the activity of lin-14, a target of lin-4 and let-7 family microRNAs, and this modulation is abolished when the 3' untranslated region of lin-14 is removed. Deep sequencing of small RNA cDNA libraries reveals no dramatic change in the levels of microRNAs, or other small RNA populations between wild-type and stau-1 mutants, with the exception of certain endogenous siRNAs in the WAGO pathway. The modulation of microRNA activity by STAU-1 does not seem to be associated with the previously reported enhanced exogenous RNAi (Eri) phenotype of stau-1 mutants, since eri-1 exhibits the opposite effect on microRNA activity. Altogether, our results suggest that STAU-1 negatively modulates microRNA activity downstream of biogenesis, possibly by competing with microRNAs for binding on the 3' untranslated region of target mRNAs Deep-sequencing was performed on cDNA libraries made from total RNA from young adults populations of two strains: wild-type (N2) and stau-1(tm2266), in three biological replicates each strain.

Project description:It has recently been shown that RNA Polymerase II transcription is far more extensive than previously thought, much of it not associated with protein-coding genes. To investigate this phenomenon, we determined the genome-wide landscape of RNA Polymerase II transcription initiation and elongation in C. elegans. We identify 73,500 distinct clusters of transcription initiation and find that initiation is often bidirectional. Strikingly, the majority of initiation events occur in regions with enhancer-like chromatin signatures. We also assign transcription initiation sites to 7691 protein coding genes, the majority previously unknown because of trans-splicing. Through mapping RNA PolII initiation (short capped RNAs) and elongation (long capped RNAs), we provide identification of transcription start sites.
