Project description:In order to define the genomic targets of Crx, we carried out Crx chromatin-immunoprecipitation followed by massively parallel sequencing (ChIP-seq) of eight-week-old mouse retinas using the Solexa platform. Sequence reads were mapped to the genome and 'peaks' were identified. These data were subjected to extensive bioinformatic analysis. In addition, selected peaks were experimentally tested for cis-regulatory activity by electroporation as promoter-reporter fusions into living mouse retinas. Over 5,000 Crx-bound regions (CBRs) were identified throughout the mouse genome. Many of these clusters of CBRs occur specifically around photoreceptor genes. In fact, Crx directly regulates the majority of known photoreceptor transcription factors as well as most known photoreceptor disease genes. Cis-regulatory analysis revealed that individual CBRs contribute in a combinatorial fashion to the overall activity of the gene they control. In addition, multiple Crx-binding sites within CBRs cooperatively interact via precise spacing rules to generate optimal levels of transcription. Crx ChIP-Seq analysis of C57BL/6 and Nrl-/- retinas. IgG ChIP-Seq was performed as a control. 1-2 replicates each.

Project description:Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify transcripts of rod photoreceptors of the zebrafish, an important animal model for vision science. Methods: Zebrafish rods, and non-rod retinal cells of the XOPS:eGFP transgenic line, were separated by cell dissociation and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), followed by RNA-seq. Validation studies used qPCR and in situ hybridization. Some transcripts were examined in sorted retinal cell populations of larval and juvenile retinas and regenerated adult retinas, and in a zebrafish model for rod degeneration. Results: At a false discovery rate of <0.01, 597 transcripts were upregulated in rods vs. non-rod retinal cells, and 1032 were downregulated. 13,324 total transcripts were detected in rods, including many not previously known to be expressed by rods. Transcripts enriched in rods from adult retinas were also enriched in rods from larval and juvenile retinas, and were also enriched in regenerated rods. Many transcripts enriched in rods were upregulated in retinas of wildtype retinas vs. those of a zebrafish model for rod degeneration. Conclusions: We report the generation of an RNA-seq dataset describing the rod transcriptome of the zebrafish, which is now available as a resource for further studies of rod photoreceptor biology and comparative transcriptomics.

Project description:Our ability to predict protein expression from DNA sequence alone remains poor, reflecting our limited understanding of cis-regulatory grammar and hampering the design of engineered genes for synthetic biology applications. Here, we generate a model that predicts the translational efficiency of the 5’ untranslated region (UTR) of mRNAs in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We constructed a library of half a million 50-nucleotide- long random 5’ UTRs and assayed their activity in a massively parallel growth selection experiment. The resulting data allow us to quantify the impact on translation of Kozak sequence composition, upstream open reading frames (uORFs) and secondary structure. We trained a convolutional neural network (CNN) on the random library and showed that it performs well at predicting the translational efficiency of both a held-out set of the random 5’ UTRs as well as native S. cerevisiae 5’ UTRs. The model additionally was used to computationally evolve highly translating 5’ UTRs. We confirmed experimentally that the great majority of the evolved sequences lead to higher translation rates than the starting sequences, demonstrating the predictive power of this model. The sequences were assayed in the context of a constant promoter and downstream coding sequence. Cell growth was used as a proxy for protein expression. Growth was measured by determining the ratio of sequence counts before and after growth selection.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of 3D-retinas differentiated from mouse iPS cells comparing vehicle control- with 4-OHT-treated. 4-OHT is an inverse agonist of estrogen-related receptor beta (ERRβ), a rod-enriched transcription factor responsible for maintenance of rod photoreceptor cells and the treatment induces photoreceptor specific cell death in the 3D-retinas. Goal was to understand the mechanism of 4-OHT-induced degeneration of photoreceptor cells in the 3D-retinas. 4-OHT-induced gene expression in the 3D-retinas was measured at DD 26 when the photoreceptor cells were degenerated. Two-condition experiment, vehicle control- vs. 5 µM 4-OHT-treated 3D-retinas. Biological replicates: each sample has 24 3D-retinas and 1 replicate.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of 3D-retinas differentiated from mouse iPS cells comparing vehicle control with 4-OHT-treated w/o supplements. 4-OHT is an inverse agonist of estrogen-related receptor beta (ERRβ), a rod-enriched transcription factor responsible for maintenance of rod photoreceptor cells and the treatment induces photoreceptor specific cell death in the 3D-retinas. Goal was to understand the mechanism of protective effects of representative ophthalmic supplements for treating the photoreceptor degeneration. 4-OHT w/o supplements-induced gene expression in the 3D-retinas was measured at DD 25 when the photoreceptor cells started to be degenerated. Four-condition experiment, vehicle control- vs. 5 µM 4-OHT- vs. 5 µM 4-OHT with 400 µM vitamin E- vs. 5 µM 4-OHT with 200 nM lutein-treated 3D-retinas. Biological replicates: each sample has 24 3D-retinas and 1replicate.

Project description:Rab and associated effector proteins are involved in all steps of cargo transport through subcellular compartments during the endocytic pathway that participates in multiple cellular processes including signal transduction, protein recycling and degradation. We identified Rabgef1 (also called Rabex-5) as the only differentially expressed Rab-associated gene that exhibits strong concordance with photoreceptor maturation by mining the retinal transcriptome data. The retinas of Rabgef1-/- mice exhibit defects in photoreceptor morphology, followed by cell death, and almost complete loss of both rod and cone photoreceptor function within 3 weeks after birth. Like other cells/tissues, Rabgef1 interacts with Rabaptin5 in the retina and its loss leads to reduced early endosomes in the photoreceptor inner segments as indicated by EEA1 immunostaining. Rabgef1-/- photoreceptors abnormally accumulate autophagosomes, and proteomic profiling of endosome-enriched fractions demonstrate significant depletion of phototransduction and mitochondrial proteins. Transcriptome analysis of developing retina before the degeneration is evident reveals energy metabolism modules and gene regulatory landscape that likely suggest the trajectory of cellular changes leading to photoreceptor degeneration. Our results directly implicate endocytic pathway in outer segment biogenesis and photoreceptor development and provide strong evidence that endocytosis defects in the retina can trigger upregulation of autophagic mechanisms. We also suggest that Rabgef1 and components of the endocytic and autophagic pathways should be considered as candidates for human retinopathies.
