Project description:We have performed a systems-level analysis of the RFX/Daf-19 family transcription factor, Rfx2. Using a combination of high-throughput sequencing of Rfx2-regulated transcripts and chromosomal binding sites, we provide a comprehensive accounting of the target genes by which Rfx2 controls ciliogenesis and cilia beating in vertebrates. RNA-seq: two biological replicates for control and RFX2 knockdown by morpholino injection, ChIP-seq: RFX2-GFP pulldown with GFP antibody, GFP only expression used as control

Project description:Cilia are ubiquitous cell surface projections that modulate various sensory- and motility based processes and are implicated in a growing number of multi-organ genetic disorders termed ciliopathies. As new components required for cilium biogenesis and function remain unidentified, we sought to further define and validate the transcriptional targets of the ciliogenic C. elegans RFX transcription factor DAF-19. To this end, transcriptional profiling of daf-19 mutants (which do not form cilia) and wild-type animals was performed using selectively staged embryos where ciliogenesis occurs in most ciliated sensory neurons (CSNs). Statistical comparisons between the two populations revealed 881 differentially regulated genes with 1.5-fold change or greater. A subset of these was confirmed by quantitative RT-PCR. Transgenic worms expressing transcriptional-GFP fusions revealed CSN-specific expression patterns for 9 of 12 candidate genes. We show that two uncharacterized candidate genes, which we term dyf-17 and dyf-18 because their corresponding mutants display dye-filling (Dyf) defects, are important for ciliogenesis. DYF-17 localizes at the base of cilia and interestingly, is specifically required for building the distal segment of sensory cilia. DYF-18 is an evolutionarily conserved CDK-7/CCRK-related serine-threonine kinase that is necessary for the proper function of intraflagellar transport (IFT), a process critical for cilium biogenesis. Together, our comparative microarray study identifies targets of the evolutionarily conserved RFX transcription factor, DAF-19, providing a rich dataset from which to uncover—in addition to DYF-17 and DYF-18—cellular components important for cilium formation and function. 4 daf-19,daf12; 4 daf-12; 4 WT

Project description:Cilia are required for many sensory and motility related functions and are involved in growing number of genetic disorders termed ciliopathies. DAF-19, RFX type transcription factor controls expression of many cilia structure and function related genes. To this end, transcriptional profiling of daf-19 mutants (which do not form cilia) and wild-type animals was performed using selectively staged larval stages where cilia mature and maintained, structurally as well as functionally.

Project description:Purpose: This study was carried out to determine the consequences of the Rfx2-/- genotype on spermatogenesis in the mouse Methods: DNA was extracted from decapsulated testes of 21 day old mice. ChIP sequencing was used to determine the binding sites of RFX2. Results: ChIP-Seq analysis identified ~880 binding sites of RFX2 near TSS. Conclusion: Spermatogenesis undergoes complete arrest just prior to the end of the round spermatid period of sperm development in mutant mice. Sequencing results showed that approximately 105 genes were downregulated 2 fold or more in the testes of mutant mice. Comparison of similar studies of targeted mutations in genes for other transcription factor demonstrate that Rfx2 has a large and nearly unique set of genes that depend on it directly or indirectly. A large number of downregulated genes are identified with cilia function. Testicular RFX2 binding sites were determined by deep sequencing using testes from 2 independentWT mice
