Transcriptomes of the developing larval ovaries of Drosophila melanogaster during terminal filament formation

ABSTRACT: Insect ovaries are made up of tubular egg producing subunits called ovarioles, whose number largely determines the number of eggs that can be potentially laid. Ovariole number is directly determined by the number of cellular structures called terminal filaments, which are stacks of cells that assemble in the larval ovary. Elucidating the developmental and regulatory mechanisms of terminal filament formation is thus key to understanding the regulation of insect reproduction through ovariole number regulation. We systematically measured mRNA expression of all cells in the Drosophila larval ovary at the beginning, middle and end of terminal filament formation using RNA-seq. We also separated somatic and germ line cells during these stages and assessed their tissue-specific gene expression during larval ovary development.

The intestinal intermediate filament network responds to and protects against microbial insults and toxins II

Project description:The enrichment of intermediate filaments in the apical cytoplasm of intestinal cells is evolutionarily conserved, forming a sheath that is anchored to apical junctions and positioned below the microvillar brush border, which suggests a protective intracellular barrier function. To test this, we used Caenorhabditis elegans, the intestinal cells of which are endowed with a particularly dense intermediate filament-rich layer that is referred to as the endotube. We found alterations in endotube structure and intermediate filament expression upon infection with nematicidal B. thuringiensis or treatment with its major pore-forming toxin crystal protein Cry5B. Endotube impairment due to defined genetic mutations of intermediate filaments and their regulators results in increased Cry5B sensitivity as evidenced by elevated larval arrest, prolonged time of larval development and reduced survival. Phenotype severity reflects the extent of endotube alterations and correlates with reduced rescue upon toxin removal. The results provide in vivo evidence for a major protective role of a properly configured intermediate filament network as an intracellular barrier in intestinal cells. This notion is further supported by increased sensitivity of endotube mutants to oxidative and osmotic stress.

Stem cell niche organisation in the Drosophila ovary requires the ECM component Perlecan

Project description:Stem cells reside in specialised microenvironments or niches that balance stem cell proliferation and differentiation. The extracellular matrix (ECM) is an essential component of most niches, as it controls niche homeostasis, provides physical support and conveys extracellular signals. Basement membranes (BMs) are thin ECM sheets constituted mainly by Laminins, Perlecan, Collagen IV and Entactin/Nidogen and that surround epithelia and other tissues. Perlecans are secreted proteoglycans that interact with ECM proteins, ligands, receptors and growth factors such as FGF, PDGF, VEGF, Hedgehog and Wingless. Thus, Perlecans have structural and signalling functions through the binding, storage or sequestering of specific ligands. We have used the Drosophila ovary to assess the importance of Perlecan in the functioning of a stem cell niche. Ovarioles in the adult ovary are enveloped by an ECM sheath and possess a tapered structure at their anterior apex termed the germarium. The anterior tip of the germarium hosts the germline niche, where two to four germline stem cells (GSCs) reside together with few somatic cells: terminal filament (TF) cells, cap cells (CpCs) and escort cells (ECs). We report that niche architecture in the developing gonad requires trol, that niche cells secrete an isoform-specific, Perlecan-rich interstitial matrix and that DE-cadherin-dependent stem cell-niche adhesion necessitates trol. Hence, we provide evidence to support a structural role for Perlecan in germline niche establishment during larval stages and in the maintenance of a normal pool of stem cells in the adult niche.

Identification of CTPS1 Filament Interacting Proteins

Project description:CTP synthase (CTPS) catalyzes the formation of CTP in de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis pathway. Compartmentalization of CTPS into filamentous structure is evolutionarily conserved from E.coli, yeast, Drosophila, mice to humans. Recently, we have demonstrated that histidine-mediated protein methylation promotes the formation of CTPS filament under glutamine and/or serum deprivation, which reduces its enzymatic activity and protects it from degradation. However, it is still unclear how the filament assembly takes place. In the current study, we used APEX2-mediated in vivo proximity labeling to identify proteins involved in CTPS filament formation.

The INO80 complex removes H2A.Z to promote presynaptic filament formation during homologous recombination

Project description:INO80 is an evolutionary conserved nucleosome remodelling complex that acts in transcription, replication and genome stability. It is required for resistance against genotoxic agents and involved in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) by homologous recombination (HR). However, causes underlying the HR defect of INO80-C mutant cells have been controversially discussed. We here unite previous findings using a high-resolution system to study HR in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We find that INO80-C has at least two distinct functions during HR, which promote DNA end resection and presynaptic filament formation, respectively. Importantly, specifically the second function is linked to the histone variant H2A.Z. In the absence of H2A.Z, presynaptic filament formation and HR are restored in INO80-C-deficient mutants, suggesting that presynaptic filament formation is the crucial INO80-C function during HR.

The effect of larval diet on the fecundity-longevity relationship and age-related gene expression in Drosophila melanogaster

Project description:Our two main aims were 1) to isolate age-related changes in gene expression in females of the solitary insect, Drosophila melanogaster; and 2) to determine whether experimentally changing the shape of the fecundity-longevity relationship (by changing larvae diet) caused changes in age-related gene expression in these females. To address these aims we extracted RNA from three key tissues (fat body, head and ovary) from females at two time points (10% and 60% mortality phases). Each of these females had experienced one of two treatments: medium-quality larval diet (M) treatment (resulting in a positive fecundity-longevity relationship) and high-quality larval diet (H) treatment (resulting in a negative fecundity-longevity relationship).

Genome-wide maps of Lsd1 binding sites in escort cells/early follicle cells and cap cells/terminal filament cells

Project description:Loss of Lsd1 in Drosophila in specific cells of the Drosophila ovary results in increased BMP signaling outside the cap cell niche and an expanded germline stem cell (GSC) phenotype. To better characterize the function of Lsd1 in different cell populations within the ovary, we performed Chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with massive parallel sequencing (ChIP-seq). This analysis shows that Lsd1 associates with a surprisingly limited number of sites in escort cells and fewer, and often, different sites in cap cells. These findings indicate that Lsd1 displays highly selective binding in specific cellular contexts.

Drosophila melanogaster female late third instar larval gonads single-cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq) profiling

Project description:The larval ovary is made up of multiple cell types including germ cells and somatic cells. The diversity of cell types and transcriptional regulation is not fully understood. To get single cell resolution of larval ovary regulation, we generated single-cell RNA expression profiles (scRNA-Seq) from late third instar larval ovaries of a reference Drosophila melanogaster genotype w[1118].
