Project description:The green rice leafhopper (GRH), Nephotettix cincticeps Uhler, is a major insect pest of cultivated rice in temperate Asia. GRH2-near-isogenic line (NIL) TGRH11, GRH4-NIL (TGRH16) and GRH2/GRH4-pyramided line (PYL) TGRH29 were developed by introducing the GRH2 and GRH4 from indica rice (DV85). We identified GRH-inducible genes in respective rice lines. Furthermore, we compared the gene expression levels between NILs/PYL and control plants (T65). The gene expression changes in respective rice lines were detected by comparison between GRH-infested and pre-infested plants. Seedlings at the second-leaf stage were infested with 10 to 15 first- or second-instar nymphs in test tubes and shoots were collected at 30 h after GRH infestation. Detached-leaf blades at heading stage were infested with 10 to 15 first- or second-instar nymphs in test tubes and samples were collected at 30 h after GRH infestation. For each treatment, two biological replicates were performed.

Project description:Transcriptional enhancers function as docking platforms for combinations of transcription factors to control gene expression. How enhancer sequences determine nucleosome occupancy, transcription factor recruitment, and transcriptional activation in vivo remains unclear. Using ATAC-seq across a panel of Drosophila inbred strains we found that SNPs affecting Grainyhead binding sites causally determine the accessibility of epithelial enhancers. We show that deletion or ectopic expression of Grh causes loss or gain of DNA accessibility, respectively. However, while Grh binding is necessary for enhancer accessibility, it is insufficient to activate enhancers. Finally, we show that human Grh homologs, GRHL1/2/3, function similarly. We conclude that Grh binding is necessary and sufficient for the opening of epithelial enhancers, but not for their activation. Our data support the model that complex spatiotemporal expression patterns are controlled by regulatory hierarchies in which pioneer factors, such as Grh, establish tissue-specific accessible chromatin landscapes upon which other factors can act.

Project description:The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a powerful model for studying gene regulation, as it has a compact genome and a wealth of genomic tools. However, identification of regulatory elements has been hampered by the fact that DNA binding motifs are known for only 71 (9%) of the estimated 763 high-confidence sequence-specific transcription factors (TFs). To address this problem, we performed protein binding microarray (PBM) experiments on representatives of canonical TF families in the C. elegans TF repertoire, obtaining motifs for 129 distinct TFs. Moreover, we can infer motifs for 97 additional TFs that have DNA binding domains that are very similar to those already characterized, resulting in a total coverage of binding specificities for almost 40% of the C. elegans TF repertoire. These data highlight the diversification of binding motifs for the nuclear hormone receptor (NHR) and C2H2 zinc finger families, and reveal unexpected diversity of motifs for others, including the T-box and DM families. Enrichment of motifs in the promoters of functionally related genes is consistent with known biology in many cases, and also identifies putative new regulatory roles for poorly characterized TFs. The motifs are available at http:// http://cisbp.ccbr.utoronto.ca. Protein binding microarray (PBM) experiments were performed for a set of 129 diverse C. elegans transcription factors. Briefly, the PBMs involved binding GST-tagged DNA-binding proteins to two double-stranded 44K Agilent microarrays, each containing a different DeBruijn sequence design, in order to determine their sequence preferences. Details of the PBM protocol are described in Berger et al., Nature Biotechnology 2006.

Project description:It has been suggested that transcription factor binding is temporally dynamic, and that changes in binding determine transcriptional output. Nonetheless, this model is based on relatively few examples in which transcription factor binding has been assayed at multiple developmental stages. The essential transcription factor Grainy head (Grh) is conserved from fungi to humans, and controls epithelial development and barrier formation in numerous tissues. Drosophila melanogaster, which possess a single grainy head (grh) gene, provide an excellent system to study this conserved factor. To determine whether temporally distinct binding events allow Grh to control cell fate specification in different tissue types, we used a combination of ChIP-seq and RNA-seq to elucidate the gene regulatory network controlled by Grh during four stages of embryonic development (spanning stages 5-17) and in larval tissue. Contrary to expectations, we discovered that Grh remains bound to at least 1146 genomic loci over days of development. In contrast to this stable DNA occupancy, the subset of genes whose expression is regulated by Grh varies. Grh transitions from functioning primarily as a transcriptional repressor early in development to functioning predominantly as an activator later. Our data reveal that Grh binds to target genes well before the Grh-dependent transcriptional program commences, suggesting it sets the stage for subsequent recruitment of additional factors that execute stage-specific Grh functions.
