Project description:In many developmental systems, morphogenesis is coupled with dramatic changes in spatiotemporal gene expression, often orchestrated by the coordinated action of transcription factors. Development of the social soil amoebae Dictyostelium discoideum proceeds through a sequence of morphological and transcriptional changes, but the role of transcription factors in development is not well understood. GtaC, a GATA-type zinc-finger transcription factor, is essential for Dictyostelium development. It decodes pulsatile extracellular cAMP signals during early development and mediates cell-type differentiation at later stages. Here, we studied the developmental regulatory roles of GtaC through the concerted analysis of temporal ChIP- and RNA-sequencing data from strains that carry different alleles of gtaC. We show that GtaC exhibits temporally distinctive DNA-binding patterns throughout early development, accompanied by largely cotemporaneous expression of its target genes. We also show that GtaC binds DNA in two modes. One of these modes exhibits binding preferences for canonical GATA-like sequences, the regulatory consequences accompanying which is predominantly up-regulation of target gene expression. The other binding mode is mostly associated with down-regulation. Among its targets we find transcription factors that are essential for development as well as genes involved in cAMP signaling and cell-type specification. Our results suggest that GtaC is a master regulator that regulates multiple physiological processes during early development, when Dictyostelium transitions from a group of unicellular amoebae to an integrated multicellular organism.

Project description:Leaps and lulls in the developmental transcriptome of Dictyostelium discoideum

Project description:Dictyostelium discoideum is an ideal organism to study SH2-domain mediated signal transduction because not only does it provide relatively simple model cell biological and developmental processes, but also possesses a highly streamlined repertoire of SH2-containing proteins. We studied one such novel protein, LrrB, by gene deletion and protein interaction experiments. A DNA microarray experiment carried out on growing cells reveals misregulation of a small set of vegetative genes in the lrrB knockout strain when compared to the parent, Ax2. Real time PCR experiments described in the accompanying manuscript extend these observations to show how this affects gene expression during early development, and that knockouts in another SH2 protein that interacts with LrrB show misregulation of some of the same genes, suggesting that these proteins may form part of a novel adaptor complex that regulates gene expression during Dictyostelium growth and early development.

Project description:Knockout mutants of polyketide synthase genes were generated (pks1, pks2, pks3, pks14, pks18, pks37) and compared to wild-type AX2 strain of Dictyostelium discoideum using Agilent custom microarrays. The Dictyostelium cells were harvested at eight developmental stages (Amoeboid, Intiation of starvation, loose aggregate, Streaming, Mound, Slug, early culminant, Fruiting body) and subjected to microarray based expression profiling.
