Widespread cytoplasmic polyadenylation programs asymmetry in the germline and early embryo

ABSTRACT: The PAT-seq approach was utilised to determine the gene expression, poly(A)-site and polyadenylation state of the transcriptome of C. elegans of wildtype (N2), gld-2(q497) and cpb-3(bt17) strains. A series of deadenylases were aditionally depleted by RNAi in the gld-2 background to determine the identity of the initiating deadenylase. RNAi was performed by bacterial feeding, using the E. Coli HT115 (DE3) strain carrying pL4440-based feeding vectors. These vectors contained individual open reading frames (ORFs) for the five deadenylases, and the pCB19 control used in this study. The RNAi constructs used were pCB19, parn-1, panl-2, ccr-4, parn-2, ccf-1. The pCB19 control contains fragment of a Arabidopsis thaliana gene that shares no homology with any C. elegans gene. All RNAi vectors were sequenced to confirm the correct target sequence prior to use. For all experiments, worms were synchronised by bleaching and harvested at 60(N2) or 65(gld-2(q497) hours post L1 stage and either imaged directly or snap-frozen with liquid nitrogen and stored at -80C until RNA/DNA/protein extraction could be performed. gld-2(q497) heterozygotes mutants were maintaned over the hT2[qIs48] I;III balancer chromosome and homozygote gld-2(q497) progeny were analysed

RIP-chip analysis of the C. elegans GLD-2 and RNP-8 protein

Project description:C. elegans GLD-2 forms an active PAP with multiple RNA-binding partners to regulate diverse aspects of germline and early embryonic development. One GLD-2 partner, RNP-8, was previously shown to influence oocyte fate specification. To identify transcripts selectively associated with both GLD-2 and RNP-8, we employ a genomic approach using the method of RNA immunoprecipitation followed by microarray analysis (RIP-chip). We used microarrays to identify mRNAs selectively associated with either GLD-2 or RNP-8. Worm extracts were prepared from synchronized adult C. elegans (15 h after L4 stage). For GLD-2 IP, an immoblized anti-GLD-2 antibody was then used to purify the GLD-2 complexes from either wild-type (N2) or gld-2(RNAi) worm extracts. RNA was then extracted from the pellets and analyzed on C.elegans Affymetrix genechip. Four biological replicates were performed, each sample processed in parallel. For RNP-8 IP, an immoblized anti-RNP-8 antibody was then used to purify the RNP-8 complexes from either wild-type (N2) or rnp-8(q784) worm extracts and three biological replicates were performed. For wt or gld-2(RNAi) samples, total RNA was extracted from worm extracts and hybridized on C.elegans Affymetrix genechip.

Changes in Caenorhabditis elegans proteome after dnj-21 knockdown

Project description:Dysfunction of the motor subunit of the TIM23 translocase, the PAM complex located on the matrix side of the mitochondrial inner membrane in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, was shown to cause a decrease in mitochondrial protein import and precursor accumulation in the cytosol. We used an analogous model to study the non-mitochondrial response to defective mitochondrial import machinery in Caenorhabditis elegans in which we depleted DNJ-21 as the functional homolog of yeast Pam18. To gain a broader insight in potential changes in Caenorhabditis elegans proteome upon DNJ-21 depletion we performed a quantitative, label-free proteomics analysis. We compared protein levels upon knockdown of dnj-21 (dnj-21 RNAi) with control conditions (Empty vector RNAi). Synchronized N2 wild type worms were grown on NGM plates seeded with E. coli HT115(DE3) transformed with a construct targeting dnj-21 gene or with empty vector L4440 as a control.

POS-1 protects posterior gut specification by blocking GLD-3/2 polyadenylation of anterior factor neg-1

Project description:The Poly(A)-Tail focused RNA-seq, or PAT-seq approach was utilised to determine the gene expression, poly(A)-site and polyadenylation state of the transcriptome of early C. elegans embryos having been depleated for a series of RNA binding proteins. Namely; pos-1 and mex-5 were independently knocked down using dsRNA expressing E. coli HT115(DE3) fed to ~100,000 starved/synchronized L1 larvae. When half of the population reached adulthood and half were still in the L4 stage, worms were bleached and embryos harvested and stored in Trizol. This ensured an enrichment of early embryos between 1 and 24 cell stage. mex-6(pk440) were synchronized and grown on OP50 until the same time point and embryos harvested in the same manner. Since prolonged gld-3 and gld-2 RNAi result in sterility, starved/synchronized L1 larvae were fed diluted OP50 (200uL of concentrated OP50 diluted in 2mL of M9 and starved L1s) for 16 hours. At that point the OP50 had been mostly consumed by the larvae and concentrated gld-3 or gld-2 dsRNA expressing E. coli were added to the plates. When half of the population reached adulthood and half were still in the L4 stage, worms were bleached and embryos harvested and stored in Trizol. Total RNA was isolated using standard procedures.

Interplay between mitochondria and diet mediates pathogen and stress resistance in C. elegans.

Project description:To understand the impact of a diet on host health, we performed a number of assays with C. elegans reared on OP50 or HT115 E. coli. We observed that HT115 provided a substantial increase in resistance to Liquid Killing and abiotic stresses (e.g., heat shock, oxidative stress). This phenomenon was independent of the worms’ innate immune system. In the absence of any other obvious candidates, we turned to microarray transcriptional profiling to gain an unbiased picture of the differences that result from feeding C. elegans with HT115 instead of OP50. To our surprise, there was a relatively small number of genes differentially expressed between worms fed OP50 and HT115. Amongst them were several mitochondrially-associated genes, suggesting that the relevant difference may involve this organelle. Using a variety of approaches, we determined that worms fed HT115 exhibit increased mitochondrial health than their OP50 counterparts. Furthermore, supplementation of growing OP50 with cobalamin recapitulated virtually all of the HT115 phenotypes.

Transcription profiling of time series of C.elegans mutants and wild type

Project description:This series of samples comprises multiple early embryonic time courses for C. elegans. Time courses consisting of 10 time points each for 4 different genotypes are included: wild-type (strain N2 grown on E. coli strain OP50), pie-1(zu154) (progeny of homozygous mutant mothers [Unc] of strain JJ532 grown on E. coli strain OP50), pie-1(zu154);pal-1(RNAi) (progeny of homozygous mutant mothers [Unc] of strain JJ532 grown on E. coli strain HT115 expressing pal-1 hairpin RNA), and mex-3(zu155);skn-1(RNAi) (progeny of homozygous mutant mothers [Dpy] of strain JJ518 grown on E. coli strain HT115 expressing skn-1 hairpin RNA). Embryos were manually staged by morphology at the 4-cell stage and allowed to develop in water for defined amounts of time at 22 degrees C. RNA was amplified as described (Baugh et al. Development, 2003; Baugh et al. Nucleic Acids Research, 2001). This series of samples comprises all replicate data reported by Baugh et al. (Development, 2005).

Gene Expression Analysis in Hep2 human cancer cells upon deadenylase silencing

Project description:The first and rate-limiting step in eukaryotic mRNA decay is the shortening of the poly(A) tail catalyzed by a family of enzymes known as deadenylases. In humans, several deadenylases have been recognized so far, yet it is not clear what the advantage is to have many enzymes catalyzing the same reaction. It is hypothesized that specific deadenylases may target unique subsets of mRNAs, or multiple deadenylases can act on the same mRNA, with discrete but overlapping functions. To understand the biological significance of the diversity of these enzymes we silenced the expression of several deadenylases, including PARN, NOC, CNOT6, CNOT7 and CNOT8, in human cells of cancer origin (Hep2; epithelial carcinoma cells), and analyze the impact on gene expression with microarrays.

PARN and TOE1 constitute a 3′ end maturation module for nuclear non-coding RNAs

Project description:Poly(A)-specific ribonuclease (PARN) and target of EGR1 protein 1 (TOE1) are nuclear granule-associated deadenylases, whose mutations are linked to multiple human diseases. Here, we applied mTAIL-seq and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to systematically identify the substrates of PARN and TOE1 and elucidate their molecular functions. We found that PARN and TOE1 do not modulate the length of mRNA poly(A) tails. Rather, they promote the maturation of nuclear small non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). PARN and TOE1 act redundantly on some ncRNAs, most prominently small Cajal body-specific RNAs (scaRNAs). scaRNAs are strongly downregulated when PARN and TOE1 are compromised together, leading to defects in small nuclear RNA (snRNA) pseudouridylation. They also function redundantly in the biogenesis of telomerase RNA component (TERC), which shares sequence motifs found in H/ACA box scaRNAs. Our findings extend the knowledge of nuclear ncRNA biogenesis, and they provide insights into the pathology of PARN/TOE1-associated genetic disorders whose therapeutic treatments are currently unavailable.
