Hippo pathway and Bonus control developmental cell fate decisions in the Drosophila eye

ABSTRACT: The canonical function of the Hippo signaling pathway is the regulation of organ growth. How this pathway controls cell fate determination is less well understood. Here, we identify a function of the Hippo pathway in cell fate decisions in the developing Drosophila eye, exerted through the interaction of Yorkie (Yki) with the transcriptional regulator Bonus (Bon), an ortholog of mammalian Transcriptional Intermediary Factor 1/tripartite motif (TIF1/TRIM) family proteins. Instead of controlling tissue growth, Yki and Bon promote epidermal and antennal fates at the expense of the eye fate. Proteomic, transcriptomic, and genetic analyses reveal that Yki and Bon control these cell fate decisions by recruiting transcriptional and post-transcriptional co-regulators, and by repressing Notch target genes and activating epidermal differentiation genes. Our work expands the range of functions and regulatory mechanisms under Hippo pathway control.

Yorkie and Bonus protein interactome-Hippo pathway and Bonus control developmental cell fate decisions in the Drosophila eye

Project description:To identify novel regulators of the Hippo pathway, we performed affinity purification-mass spectrometry (AP-MS) using Drosophila embryos overexpressing Yki-EGFP with a ubiquitous driver da-GAL4, as well as cultured S2 cells expressing Yki-SBP. We identified the core Hippo pathway components, multiple Hippo pathway regulators and functional groups, and several putative Yki interactors including Bonus (Bon). To identify additional cofactors that are recruited by Bon, we performed AP-MS using Bon-SBP expressed in Drosophila S2 cells. Further genetic tests revealed the involvement of Bon interactors, HDAC1, Su(var)2-10, and Hrb27C, in the Drosophila eye specification that is regulated by the Yki-Bon complex.

The Ecdysone Receptor Coactivator Taiman Links Yorkie to Transcriptional Control of Germline Stem Cell Factors in Somatic Tissue

Project description:The Hippo pathway is a conserved signaling cas- cade that modulates tissue growth. Although its core elements are well defined, factors modulating Hippo transcriptional outputs remain elusive. Here we show that components of the steroid-responsive ecdysone (Ec) pathway modulate Hippo transcrip- tional effects in imaginal disc cells. The Ec receptor coactivator Taiman (Tai) interacts with the Hippo transcriptional coactivator Yorkie (Yki) and promotes expression of canonical Yki-responsive genes. Tai enhances Yki-driven growth, while Tai loss, or a form of Tai unable to bind Yki, suppresses Yki-driven tissue growth. This growth suppression is not corre- lated with impaired induction of canonical Hippo- responsive genes but with suppression of a distinct pro-growth program of Yki-induced/Tai-dependent genes, including the germline stem cell factors nanos and piwi. These data reveal Hippo/Ec pathway crosstalk in the form a Yki-Tai complex that collabo- ratively induces germline genes as part of a tran- scriptional program that is normally repressed in developing somatic epithelia.

Genome-wide analysis of Yki and Sd localization in imaginal disks of Drosophila eye by ChIP Seq

Project description:Throughout Metazoa, developmental processes are controlled by a surprisingly limited number of conserved signaling pathways. Precisely how these signaling cassettes were assembled in early animal evolution remains poorly understood, as do the molecular transitions that potentiated the acquisition of their myriad developmental functions. Here we analyze the molecular evolution of the proto-oncogene YAP/Yorkie, a key effector of the Hippo signaling pathway that controls organ size in both Drosophila and mammals. Based on heterologous functional analysis of evolutionarily distant Yap/Yorkie orthologs, we demonstrate that a structurally distinct interaction interface between Yap/Yorkie and its partner TEAD/Scalloped became fixed in the eumetazoan common ancestor. We then combine transcriptional profiling of tissues expressing phylogenetically diverse forms of Yap/Yorkie with ChIP-seq validation in order to identify a common downstream gene expression program underlying the control of tissue growth in Drosophila. Intriguingly, a subset of the newly-identified Yorkie target genes are also induced by Yap in mammalian tissues, thus revealing a conserved Yap-dependent gene expression signature likely to mediate organ size control throughout bilaterian animals. Combined, these experiments provide new mechanistic insights while revealing the ancient evolutionary history of Hippo signaling. We sought to determine Yki and Sd target genes in Drosophila by immunoprecipitation of Yki, sd and RNA polymerase II. Chromatin immunoprecipitation of Yki, sd, and RNA polymerase II from eye disks was performed.

We sought to define the downstream target genes of selected Yap variants by performing RNA sequencing analysis (RNA-seq) on total RNA isolated from GMR-Gal4>Yap eye discs. Transcriptional profiles were generated in triplicate from eye imaginal disks with either endogenous Yki, or GMR-Gal4 over-expressed Yki, Trichoplax Yap, Monosiga Yap, or Monisiga Yap+TEAD domain, using deep sequencing via Illumina Hi Seq.

Profiling Drosophila third instar larval eye discs with disruptions in Hippo and Rbf pathways by 10X single-cell RNA-Sequencing

Project description:We performed single-cell RNA-sequencing experiments to understand how the Rbf and Hippo pathways collaborate to maintain cell identity. Drosophila melanogaster photoreceptor neurons with dual mutation in Rbf[120a] and wts[x1] specify normally before abruptly dedifferentiating. We performed scRNA-Seq on w1118, Rbf[120a] single mutant, wts[x1] single mutant, and Rbf[120a] wts[x1] double mutant tissues to better understand the dedifferentiation phenotype. We identified transcriptional changes that were unique to double mutant tissue. We then validated these experiments using a novel dedifferentiation model expressing constitutively active yki[S111A,S168A,S250A] in Rbf[120a] mutant tissue using the GMR-GAL4 driver. We performed single-cell experiments on eye tissues expressing yki[S111A,S168A,S250A] in Rbf wildtype and mutant backgrounds, as well as tissues co-expressing Hth and yki. We then analyzed these experiments to determine the dedifferentiation transcriptional program.

Genome-wide binding of Sd and Yki in imaginal discs

Project description:The transcription cofactor Yki drives growth and proliferation in part by controlling mitochondrial network formation. To determine if Yki and Sd are directly bound to DNA corresponding to mitochondrial genes, we used chromatin immunoprecipitation and whole genome tiling arrays (ChIP-chip) to identify regions bound by these factors in eye-antenna and wing imaginal discs. The supplementary .bed files contain all Yki or Sd binding sites (called at 5% FDR) in wing or eye-antenna imaginal discs, as well as shared Sd+Yki sites and associated target genes. Wing or eye-antenna imaginal discs ChIPped for Yki or Sd-GFP vs. input DNA from corresponding imaginal discs.

Global microRNA expression analysis in mouse skin normal tissues and skin tumors induced by constitutive active YAP mutant.

Project description:Global downregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) is commonly observed in human cancers and can have a causative role in tumorigenesis. The mechanisms responsible for this phenomenon remain poorly understood. Here we show that YAP, the downstream target of the tumor-suppressive Hippo signaling pathway regulates miRNA biogenesis in a cell density-dependent manner. At low cell density, nuclear YAP binds and sequesters p72 (DDX17), a regulatory component of the miRNA processing machinery. At high cell density, Hippo-mediated cytoplasmic retention of YAP facilitates p72 association with Microprocessor and binding to a specific sequence motif in pri-miRNAs. Inactivation of the Hippo pathway or expression of constitutively active YAP causes widespread miRNA suppression in cells and tumors and a corresponding post-transcriptional induction of MYC expression. Thus, the Hippo pathway links contact-inhibition regulation to miRNA biogenesis and may be responsible for the widespread miRNA repression observed in cancer. Two conditions (normal epidermal cells and oncogenic epidermal cells expressing YAP S127A mutant) were analyzed in duplicate.

Hippo reprograms the transcriptional response to Ras signalling

Project description:Mutations that lead to hyperactivation of Ras signaling are hallmarks of carcinomas. During development, signaling via Ras mediates cell fate decisions and cellular differentiation without causing hyper-proliferation. What determines whether Ras activation leads to differentiation or proliferation remains unknown. Here we show that the Hippo pathway reprograms the cellular response to Ras signaling in Drosophila. While hyperactivation of Ras signaling alone promotes cellular differentiation, additional loss of Hippo signaling drives aggressive hyper-proliferation. Transcriptome analysis combined with ChIP-nexus confirmed that the magnitude and specificity of Ras target gene expression strongly depends on the activity status of the Hippo pathway. This is because Hippo signaling directly regulates the expression of two key downstream transcription factors of the Ras pathway: the ETS-domain transcription factor Pointed and the transcriptional repressor Capicua. Our results highlight how independent signaling pathways can impinge on each other at the level of transcription factors, thereby providing a safety mechanism to keep proliferation in check under normal developmental conditions.
