Project description:Cell cycle and metabolism are two major outputs controlled by circadian rhythm in many organisms. Here we show that the three processes were linked through inosine 5'-phosphate dehydrogenase (impdh), a rate-limiting enzyme in de novo purine synthesis. We using adult zebrafish as a model system,we applied a genome-wide transcriptome approach that allowed us to investigate circadian gene expression. The whole-genome transcriptome profiles of adult brain in time-series were assayed on Agilent zebrafish microarrays. We used a similar statistical method to identify zebrafish circadian genes (ZCOG) as our previous study in larval zebrafish. Three isoforms of impdh show strong circadian oscillations in different tissues of zebrafish. impdh1a contributes to the ocular development and pigment synthesis, impdh2 promotes and impdh1b delays the development. By limiting the GTP required by DNA synthesis, impdh2 contributes to the daily rhythm of S phase in cell cycle. Multiple enzymes in the de novo purine synthesis pathway show the same circadian oscillations with peaks similar to impdh2. The circadian expression of this pathway is conserved in mouse liver. In summary, we show that the circadian regulation of de novo purine synthesis that supplies crucial building blocks for DNA replication is critical for gating cell cycle in circadian rhythm. Adult zebrafish were sacrificed and dissected at 4h intervals starting at CT0 in both LD and DD conditions for 12 time points. Total RNA of individual zebrafish brain was extracted using Trizol (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys instruction. Microarrays were manufactured by Agilent Technologies (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA), containing 43,603 probes for zebrafish whole-genome transcriptional profiling.

Project description:Inosine 5'-phosphate dehydrogenase (impdh) has been well known as a key enzyme in GTP biosynthesis pathway. We found that three isoforms of impdh in zebrafish, namely impdh1a, impdh1b and impdh2, all show robust circadian expression.To examine the molecular functions of three impdh isoforms in zebrafish on the genome scale, we measured the global expression changes of impdh1a, impdh1b and impdh2 morpholino injected larvae (morphants) respectively using RNA-seq. Wild type (WT), control and three impdh morphants were collected at 32 hpf. In our RNA-seq result, we identified 468, 331 and 1166 significant genes affected by impdh1a, impdh1b and impdh2 morpholino (MO) knock-down respectively. Among them, there are limited overlaps between genes affected by different MOs and only 36 genes in common among all three MOs. This indicates that the three impdh isoforms have distinct molecular functions. To knock down the target genes, three impdh MOs and control MO were pressure-injected into 1- to 2-cell stage embryos. WT, control and three impdh morphants were raised at 28°C under 14h: 10h light/dark cycle from birth and sampled simultaneously at 32 hpf. Each group has at least 40 embryos.

Project description:Division of labor is a central feature of cellular organization. Consequently, gene regulation and intermediary metabolism are generally believed to be conducted by strictly separate classes of proteins. Here, we show that inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH), the central enzyme in guanine nucleotide biosynthesis, moonlights as a gene-specific transcription factor. Nuclear exclusion during S phase coordinates IMPDH’s transcriptional activities with the cell cycle. IMPDH represses target gene expression, including the histone genes. Unexpectedly, genomic IMPDH loci have the propensity to unwind. Genome-wide profiling and in vitro experiments revealed that IMPDH binds sequence-specifically to single stranded C/T-rich DNA elements. Thus, a classic biosynthetic enzyme can act as a DNA-binding transcription factor, suggestive of a more reciprocal and intimate relationship between metabolism and gene expression than commonly assumed.

Project description:Metabolic demands fluctuate rhythmically and rely on coordination between the circadian clock and nutrient sensing signaling pathways, yet mechanisms of their interaction remain not fully understood. Here, surprisingly, we find that class 3 Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K), known best for its essential role as a lipid kinase in endocytosis and lysosomal degradation by autophagy, has an overlooked nuclear function in participating to gene transcription as a co-activator of heterodimeric transcription factor and circadian driver BMAL1-CLOCK. Canonical pro-catabolic functions of class 3 PI3K in trafficking rely on the indispensable complex between lipid kinase Vps34 and regulatory subunit Vps15. We find that although both subunits of class 3 PI3K interact with RNA Pol2 and co-localize with active transcription sites, exclusive loss of Vps15 blunted BMAL1-CLOCK transcriptional activity. Thus, we established non-redundancy between nuclear Vps34 and Vps15 reflected in a persistent nuclear pool of Vps15 in Vps34-depleted cells and ability of Vps15 to co-activate BMAL1-CLOCK independently of its complex with Vps34. In physiology, we find Vps15 is required for metabolic rhythmicity in liver and, unexpectedly, it promoted pro-anabolic de novo purine nucleotide synthesis. We show Vps15 activated transcription of Ppat, a key enzyme for production of inosine monophosphate, a central metabolic intermediate for purine synthesis. Finally, we demonstrate that in fasting, which represses clock transcriptional activity, BMAL1 recruitment to chromatin is unmodified but it coincides with depletion of Vps15 on the promoters of its targets, Nr1d1 and Ppat. Our findings suggest that nuclear pool of class 3 PI3K Vps15 subunit could couple transcriptional activity of the circadian clock for temporal regulation of energy homeostasis and it opens novel avenues for establishing the complexity for nuclear class 3 PI3K signaling.

Project description:The ability of Leishmania to survive in their insect or mammalian host is dependent upon an ability to sense and adapt to changes in the microenvironment. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying the parasite response to environmental changes, such as nutrient availability. To elucidate nutrient stress response pathways in Leishmania donovani, we have used purine starvation as the paradigm. The salvage of purines from the host milieu is obligatory for parasite replication; nevertheless, purine-starved parasites can persist in culture without supplementary purine for over 3 months, indicating that the response to purine starvation is robust and engenders parasite survival under conditions of extreme scarcity. To understand metabolic reprogramming during purine starvation we have employed global approaches. Whole proteome comparisons between purine-starved and purine-replete parasites over a 6-48 h span have revealed a temporal and coordinated response to purine starvation. Purine transporters and enzymes involved in acquisition at the cell surface are upregulated within a few hours of purine removal from the media, while other key purine salvage components are upregulated later in the time-course and more modestly. After 48 h, the proteome of purine-starved parasites is extensively remodeled and adaptations to purine stress appear tailored to deal with both purine deprivation and general stress. To probe the molecular mechanisms affecting proteome remodeling in response to purine starvation, comparative RNA-seq analyses, qRT-PCR, and luciferase reporter assays were performed on purine-starved versus purine-replete parasites. While the regulation of a minority of proteins tracked with changes at the mRNA level, for many regulated proteins it appears that proteome remodeling during purine stress occurs primarily via translational and post-translational mechanisms. One mRNA sample from each of Purine-Starved and Purine-Replete cells were analyzed using SL RNA-Seq methodology

Project description:Recently, novel analytic methods have divided bacterial transcriptomes into independently modulated sets of genes (iModulons). Functionally annotated iModulons that contain y-genes lead to testable hypotheses to elucidate y-gene function. The inversely correlated expression of a putative transporter gene, ydhC, relative to purine biosynthetic genes, has led to the hypothesis that it encodes a purine-related transporter and revealed a LysR-family regulator, YdhB, with a predicted 23-bp palindromic binding motif. RNA-Seq analysis of a ydhB knockout mutant confirmed the YdhB-dependent activation of ydhC in the presence of adenosine. The deletion of either the ydhC or the ydhB gene led to a substantially decreased growth rate for E. coli in minimal medium with adenosine, inosine, or guanosine as the nitrogen source. Taken together, we provide clear evidence that YdhB activates the expression of the ydhC gene that encodes a novel purine transporter in E. coli. We propose that the genes ydhB and ydhC be re-named as punR and punC, respectively.
