ABSTRACT: Drosophila translationally controled tumor protein (dTCTP) is important to repair double stranded DNA breaks in cell nucleus. However, besides damaged DNA loci, dTCTP is also located in interbands region of polytene chromsomes of salivary gland tissues. To address whether dTCTP is involved in transcriptional regulation process, we performed microarrays in salivary gland tissues from dTCTP mutants and w[1118] wildtype control. Salivary glands tissues were dissected and collected from 3rd instar larvae or each genotype for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
Project description:As we observed that salivary gland ablation induced retardation of systemic growth, it raised the possibility that salivary glands might secrete a growth factor-like peptide into the hemolymph to regulate systemic growth. To identify potential salivary gland-derived peptides with endocrine activity, we performed liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis and investigated the changes in the hemolymph proteome following salivary gland ablation.

Project description:Predatory bugs capture prey by injecting venom from their salivary glands using specialized stylets. Understanding venom function has been impeded by a scarcity of knowledge of their venom composition. We therefore examined the proteinaceous components of the salivary venom of the predatory stink bug Arma chinensis (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae). Using gland extracts and venoms from 5th-instar nymphs or adult females, we performed shotgun proteomics combined with venom gland transcriptomics. We found that the venom of A. chinensis comprised a complex suite of over a hundred individual proteins, including oxidoreductases, transferases, hydrolases, ligases, protease inhibitors, and recognition, transport and binding proteins. Besides the uncharacterized proteins, hydrolases such as venom serine proteases, cathepsins, phospholipase A2, phosphatases, nucleases, alpha-amylases, and chitinases constitute the most abundant protein families. However, salivary proteins shared by and unique to other predatory heteropterans were not detected in A. chinensis venom. Injection of the proteinaceous (> 3 kDa) venom fraction of A. chinensis gland extracts or venom into its prey, the larvae of the Oriental armyworm Mythimna separata (Walker, 1865), revealed insecticidal activity against lepidopterans. Our data expands the knowledge of heteropteran salivary proteins and suggests predatory asopine bugs as a novel source for bioinsecticides.

Project description:Comparative genomic hybridization was performed to compare levels of gDNA in third instar salivary glands of Drosophila mutants/nulls in the SuUR and orc proteins, compared with 0-2hr diploid embryo gDNA. This illustrates regions of differential replication in the genome. CGH of salivary gland DNA compared with diploid early embryonic samples for four different Drosophila strains
Project description:modENCODE_submission_722 This submission comes from a modENCODE project of David MacAlpine. For full list of modENCODE projects, see http://www.genome.gov/26524648 Project Goal: Most terminally differentiated Drosophila tissues are either polyploid or polytene. Unlike normal chromosomes, where the entire chromosome must be replicated exactly once, polytene chromosomes are often differentially replicated with many regions underreplicated and some overreplicated. We will characterize five different polytene tissues using comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) to identify differentially replicated regions of each chromosome. These studies will also identify tissue specific amplicons, where the replication mediated amplification of specific loci is essential for up-regulation of mRNA levels encoding proteins critical for development. The differential replication of polytene chromosomes in Drosophila will provide a unique opportunity to understand how developmental cues and chromosomal domains influence replication initiation.

Project description:Background: The Anopheles gambiae salivary glands play a major role in malaria transmission and express a variety of bioactive components that facilitate blood-feeding by preventing platelet aggregation, blood clotting, vasodilatation, and inflammatory and other reactions at the probing site on the vertebrate host. Results: We have performed a global transcriptome analysis of the A. gambiae salivary gland response to blood-feeding, to identify candidate genes that are involved in hematophagy. A total of 4,978 genes were found to be transcribed in this tissue. A comparison of salivary gland transcriptomes prior to and after blood-feeding identified 52 and 41 transcripts that were significantly up-regulated and down-regulated, respectively. Ten genes were further selected to assess their role in the blood-feeding process using RNAi-mediated gene silencing methodology. Depletion of the salivary gland genes encoding D7L2, anophelin, peroxidase, the SG2 precursor, and a 5'nucleotidase gene significantly increased probing time of A. gambiae mosquitoes and thereby their capacity to blood-feed. Conclusions: The salivary gland transcriptome comprises approximately 38% of the total mosquito transcriptome and a small proportion of it is dynamically changing already at two hours in response to blood feeding. A better understanding of the salivary gland transcriptome and its function can contribute to the development of pathogen transmission control strategies and the identification of medically relevant bioactive compounds.

Project description:In this study we used expression microarrays as an entry point to gain further insights into the differences between endocycling cells and mitotic cycling in tissues of the Drosophila larva. Gene expression analyses were performed on tissues hand dissected from yw67c2 early 3rd instar larval tissues collected 70-75hr after egg laying. Total RNA was isolated using RNeasy Micro Kit (QIAGEN Valencia, CA 91355), and reverse transcribed and fluorescently labeled with Cy3 or Cy5 (Amersham) using Amino Allyl MessageAmp™ II aRNA Amplification Kit (Ambion, Austin, TX 78744), according to the manufacturer's instructions. This was used to probe the DGRC-2 array, a Drosophila oligonucleotide array created by the Drosophila Genomics Resource Center (DGRC) which represents ~93% of annotated Drosophila genes from genome release 4.1 (Bogart et al., 2006). Two color microarray hybridizations were repeated with material from independent dissections representing two (fat body versus brain) and three (salivary gland versus brain) independent biological replicates. Slides were scanned by GenePix 4100A (Axon Instruments, Union City, CA) and the data was extracted with Axon GenePix Pro 5 image analysis software.
