Project description:The COP9 signalosome protein complex has a central role in the regulation of development of multi-cellular organisms. While the function of this complex in ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation is well established, results over the past few years have hinted that the COP9 signalosome may function more broadly in the regulation of gene expression. Here, using DamID technology, we show that COP9 signalosome subunit 7 functionally associates with a large number of genomic loci in the Drosophila genome, and show that the expression of many genes within these loci is COP9 signalosome-dependent. This association is likely direct as we show CSN7 binds DNA in vitro. The genes targeted by CSN7 are preferentially enriched for transcriptionally active regions of the genome, and are involved in the regulation of distinct gene ontology groupings including imaginal disc development and cell-cycle control. DamID experiments were done in Drosophila Kc167 cells. Samples were hybridized to 380k NimbleGen arrays with 300 bp probe spacing. The experiment contains 4 samples, three biological replicates and one reverse dye orientation. For each sample Dam-fusion material was hybridized over Dam-only material.

Project description:Laminopathies are caused by mutations in components of the nuclear envelope (NE). While most NE components are widely expressed, laminopathies affect only a subset of tissues. However, the understanding of the molecular mechanisms that explain this phenomenon is still elusive. Here we have performed a genome wide DamID analysis in adult C. elegans nematodes comparing the DNA association profile of two components of the NE, Lamin/LMN-1 and Emerin/EMR-1. Although both proteins were associated to silent DNA, EMR-1 showed a predominant role in the anchoring of muscle and neuronal promoters to the nuclear periphery. Deletion of either EMR-1 or LEM-2, another integral NE protein, caused local changes in nuclear architecture with both increased and decreased LMN-1 association. Comparison of Dam::LMN-1 and Dam::EMR-1 DNA assotiation in wild type strains and Dam::LMN-1 DNA association in wild type, lem-2(tm1582) and emr-1(gk119) mutant backgrounds.

Project description:Paper abstract: Neural stem cells must strike a balance between self-renewal and multipotency, and differentiation. Identification of the transcriptional networks regulating stem cell division is an essential step in understanding how this balance is achieved. We have shown that the homeodomain transcription factor, Prospero, acts to repress self-renewal and promote differentiation. Amongst its targets are three neural stem cell transcription factors, Asense, Deadpan and Snail, of which Asense and Deadpan are repressed by Prospero. Here we identify the targets of these three factors throughout the genome. We find a large overlap in their target genes, and indeed with the targets of Prospero, with 245 genomic loci bound by all factors. Many of the genes have been implicated in vertebrate stem cell self-renewal, suggesting that this core set of genes is crucial in the switch between self-renewal and differentiation. We also show that multiply bound loci are enriched for genes previously linked to nervous system phenotypes, thereby providing a short-cut to identifying genes important for nervous system development. Each Dam-fusion-derived sample is compared to a control Dam-only sample. Four biological replicates were performed for Prospero (with 2 dye-swaps). For Asense, Deadpan and Snail, two biological replicates were performed.

Project description:Expression data from Caenorhabditis elegans let-418(RNAi), mep-1(RNAi) and gfp(RNAi) L1 larvae. The C. elegans genome encodes two homologs of the human protein Mi-2, namely LET-418 and CHD-3. LET-418 plays an essential role during development; its depletion leads to a pleiotropic and lethal phenotype that includes larval arrest, an everted vulva and sterility. Without maternal contribution, let-418 mutants stop their development at the L1 larval stage (von Zelewsky et al., 2000). We further characterized this arrest and showed that it is very similar to the L1 diapause induced by starvation; both germline and somatic cells remain in a quiescent state in let-418 L1 arrested larvae, indicating that LET-418 activity is required to bypass the L1 arrest in presence of food. The let-418 L1 larvae express ectopically the P granule component PGL-1 in somatic cells (Unhavaithaya et al., 2002). Interestingly, the phenotype of mep-1 mutants is remarkably similar to that of let-418: RNAi targeting mep-1 also induced an L1 arrest phenotype; furthermore, MEP-1 and LET-418 have been shown to physically interact (Unhavaithaya et al., 2002 and M. Passannante). The null allele mep-1(q660) is temperature sensitive and shows a more severe phenotype at higher temperatures. At 20°C, about 10% of mep-1 homozygotes derived from heterozygous mothers arrest as young larvae, whereas the remaining 90% develop into sterile adults (Belfiore et al., 2002). Later in development, the somatic gonad is affected in mep-1(q660) mutants. This results in an abnormal and disorganized gonad, a phenotype also observed in let-418(s1617) mutants. Both let-418 and mep-1 mutants produce a very limited number of oocytes and have pseudovulvae derived from P8.p (Belfiore et al., 2002; von Zelewsky et al., 2000 and C. Wicky, personal communication). Preliminary quantitative real-time PCR revealed that the expression of genes coding for P granule components was deregulated in both mep-1(RNAi) and let-418(RNAi) L1 larvae (data not shown). To further investigate this issue, we performed a complete gene expression analysis. Given the fact that mep-1(q660) mutants are sterile, we used RNA interference to generate mep-1 depleted worms. Bacteria expressing gfp dsRNA (pPE128.110 in HT115) were used as reference, since RNA interference may induce gene expression changes by itself.

C. elegans L1 larvae treated with RNA interference were selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Synchronized wild type L4 animals were grown at 25° on bacteria expressing either gfp, let-418 or mep-1 dsRNA. Eggs were collected by bleaching gravid adults and allowed to hatch in the absence of food at 25°C. Newly hatched L1 larvae were fed on bacteria expressing the different dsRNA for three hours to recover from starvation. Three replicates per RNAi.

Project description:We have adapted the DamID protocol for use with high throughput sequencing. We have used DamID to identify the positions within the Drosophila genome where the transcription factor DSX is bound. We sequenced DpnI-digested genomic DNA from fly tissues containing UAS-Dam (control) or UAS-Dam-DsxF or UAS-Dam-DsxM. We have performed DamID-seq on adult male and female fatbody and on ovary. We used two biological replicates for each tissue and sex.
