Project description:NHR-23, a conserved member of the nuclear receptor family of transcription factors, is required for normal development in C. elegans where it plays a critical role in growth and molting. In a search for NHR-23 dependent genes, we performed whole genome comparative expression microarrays on both control and nhr-23 inhibited synchronized larvae. Genes that decreased in response to nhr-23 RNAi included several collagen genes. Unexpectedly, several hedgehog-related genes were also down-regulated after nhr-23 RNAi. A homozygous nhr-23 deletion allele was used to confirm the RNAi knockdown phenotypes and the changes in gene expression. Our results indicate that NHR-23 is a critical coregulator of functionally linked genes involved in growth and molting and reveal evolutionary parallels among the ecdysozoa.

Our results indicate that NHR-23 is a critical coregulator of functionally linked genes involved in growth and molting and reveal evolutionary parallels among the ecdysozoa. Synchronized populations of L1 larvae were plated with two sets of HT115 bacteria, one that had been transformed with the RNAi vector only (L4440 plasmid) and another that had been transformed with a vector targeting nhr-23 (clone 5174) [Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 98 (2001) 7360-7365]. Worms were kept on 2% agarose plates for 21 hr at 20C, collected, and approximately 200ml of worms resuspended in PBS were used in each individual experiment. Total RNA was isolated from frozen pellets using a Mixer-Mill (Miller-Mill 300) following an RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen, Germantown, MD) according to manufacturer protocol. Aliquots of cultures used for RNA isolation were kept on nhr-23 RNAi plates to confirm the knockdown phenotypic changes occurred during subsequent molts.

Project description:Recently developed single cell technologies allow researchers to characterize cell states at ever greater resolution and scale. C. elegans is a particularly tractable system for studying development, and recent single cell RNA-seq studies characterized the gene expression patterns for nearly every cell type in the embryo and at the second larval stage (L2). Gene expression patterns are useful for learning about gene function and give insight into the biochemical state of different cell types; however, in order to understand these cell types, we must also determine how these gene expression levels are regulated. We present the first single cell ATAC-seq study in C. elegans. We collected data in L2 larvae to match the available single cell RNA-seq data set, and identify tissue-specific chromatin accessibility patterns that align well with existing data, including the L2 single cell RNA-seq results. Using a novel implementation of the Latent Dirichlet Allocation algorithm, our chromatin accessibility data provide new insights into which genomic loci may be participating in cell type-specific gene regulation, with promise for better understanding of cellular differentiation and gene regulation in the worm.

Project description:modENCODE_submission_4634 This submission comes from a modENCODE project of Michael Snyder. For full list of modENCODE projects, see http://www.genome.gov/26524648 Project Goal: We are identifying the DNA binding sites for 300 transcription factors in C. elegans. Each transcription factor gene is tagged with the same GFP fusion protein, permitting validation of the gene's correct spatio-temporal expression pattern in transgenic animals. Chromatin immunoprecipitation on each strain is peformed using an anti-GFP antibody, and any bound DNA is deep-sequenced using Solexa GA2 technology. For data usage terms and conditions, please refer to http://www.genome.gov/27528022 and http://www.genome.gov/Pages/Research/ENCODE/ENCODEDataReleasePolicyFinal2008.pdf EXPERIMENT TYPE: CHIP-seq.

Project description:The response to insufficient oxygen, termed hypoxia, is orchestrated by the conserved master regulator Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1 (HIF-1), which is hyperactive in many cancers. Here, we describe a HIF-1 independent hypoxia response pathway controlled by Caenorhabditis elegans Nuclear Hormone Receptor NHR-49, an orthologue of mammalian lipid metabolism regulator Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor alpha (PPARα). nhr-49 is required for worm survival in hypoxia and is synthetically lethal with hif-1 in this context, demonstrating independent activity. RNA-seq data show that nhr-49 regulates a set of hif-1 independent hypoxia responsive genes, including autophagy genes that promote hypoxia survival. We further identified the Nuclear Hormone Receptor nhr-67 as a negative regulator and the Homeodomain-interacting Protein Kinase hpk-1 as a positive regulator in the NHR-49 pathway. Together, our experiments describe an essential hypoxia response pathway controlled by nhr-49 that includes new upstream and downstream components and is as important as hif-1 dependent hypoxia adaptation.
