Project description:The 3' ends of most Drosophila melanogaster genes are poorly annotated or are determined by only a single EST or cDNA clone. To enhance the annotation of poly(A) site use in Drosophila, we performed deep sequencing on RNA isolated from 29 dissected tissues using an approach designed to enrich for poly(A) spanning reads. From these experiments, we identified 1.4 million poly(A) spanning reads leading to the identification of many new poly(A) sites and the identification of many tissue-specific poly(A) sites. For data usage terms and conditions, please refer to http://www.genome.gov/27528022 and http://www.genome.gov/Pages/Research/ENCODE/ENCODEDataReleasePolicyFinal2008.pdf RNA from 29 dissected Drosophila melanogaster tissues (in duplicate) were used to prepare polyA enriched RNA-Seq libraries. Briefly, total RNA was poly(A) selected, fragmented, and ligated to 5' and 3' RNA linkers. These libraries were amplified using Illumina paired-end primers, and subsequently reamplified using a 3' primer complementary to the 3' adapter but containing 6 Ts at the 3' end. The libraries were also multiplexed and up to 12 samples mixed per lane and sequenced on an Illumina GAIIx using paired-end 76 bp reads, or an illumina HiSeq 2000 using paired-end 100 bp reads. All reads were mapped to the Drosophila melanogaster genome to identify unmapped reads. Unmapped reads containing at least 10 A residues at the 3' end were identified, the terminal A residues trimmed, realigned to the genome to identify uniquely mapped reads. Such reads were identified as polyA spanning reads

Chronic sleep loss sensitizes Drosophila melanogaster to nitrogen stress

Project description:<p>Chronic sleep loss profoundly impacts metabolic health and shortens lifespan, but studies of the mechanisms involved have focused largely on acute sleep deprivation. To identify metabolic consequences of chronically reduced sleep, we conducted unbiased metabolomics on heads of three adult Drosophila short-sleeping mutants with very different mechanisms of sleep loss: fumin (fmn), redeye (rye), and sleepless (sss). Common features included elevated ornithine and polyamines, with lipid, acyl-carnitine, and TCA cycle changes suggesting mitochondrial dysfunction. Studies of excretion demonstrate inefficient nitrogen elimination in adult sleep mutants, likely contributing to their polyamine accumulation. Increasing levels of polyamines, particularly putrescine, promote sleep in control flies but poison sleep mutants. This parallels the broadly enhanced toxicity of high dietary nitrogen load from protein in chronically sleep-restricted Drosophila, including both sleep mutants and flies with hyper-activated wake-promoting neurons. Together, our results implicate nitrogen stress as a novel mechanism linking chronic sleep loss to adverse health outcomes-and perhaps for linking food and sleep homeostasis at the cellular level in healthy organisms.</p>
