To explore the underlying mechanism of dietary restriction (DR) induced lifespan extension in fruit flies at protein level, we performed proteome sequencing in Drosophila at day 7 (young) and day 42 (old) under DR and ad libitum (AL) conditions. A total of 18629 unique peptides were identified in Uniprot, corresponding to 3,662 proteins. Among them, 383 and 409 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified from comparison between DR vs AL at day 7 and 42, respectively. Bioinformatics ...[more]

Project description:The Polycomb group (PcG) and Trithorax group (TrxG) of proteins are required for stable and heritable maintenance of repressed and active gene expression states. Their antagonistic function on gene control, repression for PcG and activity for TrxG, is mediated by binding to chromatin and subsequent epigenetic modification of target loci. Despite our broad knowledge about composition and enzymatic activities of the protein complexes involved, our understanding still lacks important mechanistic detail and a comprehensive view on target genes. In this study, we use an extensive data set of ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, and genome-wide detection of transcription start sites (TSSs) to identify and analyze thousands of binding sites for the PcG proteins and Trithorax from a Drosophila S2 cell line. In addition to finding a preference for stalled promoter regions of annotated genes, we uncover many intergenic PcG-binding sites coinciding with non-annotated transcription start sites. Interestingly, this set includes previously unknown promoters for primary transcripts of microRNA genes, thereby expanding the scope of Polycomb control to non-coding RNAs essential for development, apoptosis and growth. Chromatin from S2 cells was immunoprecipitated using antibodies against Pc, Ph, Psc, Trx-C or H3K4me3. In parallel, we isolated RNA from S2 cells and generated global gene expression profiles by RNA-seq. We also surveyed the Drosophila genome for yet non-annotated transcription start sites (TSSs) using a newly adapted protocol for Illumina sequencing (termed 5M-bM-^@M-^Y-MACE) with RNA isolated from S2 cells and embryos.

Project description:Developmental programs are implemented by regulatory interactions between Transcription Factors (TFs) and their target genes, which remain yet poorly understood. While recent studies have focused on regulatory cascades of TFs that govern early development, little is known on how these are selected and controlled the ultimate cellular effectors of terminal differentiation. We addressed this question during late Drosophila embryogenesis when the finely tuned expression of a TF, Ovo/Shavenbaby (Svb), triggers the morphological differentiation of epidermal trichomes. We used chromatin immunoprecipitation and microarray profiling to identify Svb downstream target genes and show that Svb directly regulates a large set of terminal effectors of trichome formation. Functional assays delineated 18 Svb bound sequences driving specific expression of trichome effectors, with highly similar pattern and dynamics. Coupling computational modeling to functional dissection, we further investigated the regulatory logic of these enhancers. We find that these “terminal” enhancers harbor remarkable features with respect to their functional architectures. Trichome enhancers display weak if any clustering of Svb binding sites. Moreover, the in vivo function of each site relies on its intimate context, with a critical importance of the nucleotides flanking Svb binding sites. Finally, we identify additional cis-regulatory motifs, showing a broad diversity of positioning among trichome enhancers, and that critically contribute to their activity. Taken together, these results show that trichome formation is underpinned by unexpectedly diverse modes of regulation, and shed light on the functional architecture of enhancers governing a terminal differentiation program. Chromatin from 12-14 hour old embryos expressing svb tagged with GFP (Kondo T, Plaza S, Zanet J, Benrabah E, Valenti P, Hashimoto Y, Kobayashi S, Payre F, Kageyama Y: Small peptides switch the transcriptional activity of Shavenbaby during Drosophila embryogenesis.

Project description:In diverse organisms, the highly-conserved Piwi proteins bind to a complex class of small non-coding RNAs called piRNAs, and are essential for germline stem cell maintenance, transposon silencing, fertility, and offspring viability1. By homology with other Argonautes, Piwi proteins have been proposed and later reported to possess endonuclease activity in vitro, effected by its conserved aspartate catalytic triad2,3. Indeed, mutation of these residues in one of the three mouse PIWI proteins, MILI, affects the production of Line 1 piRNAs and spermatogenesis4. In Drosophila, the conserved slicer function has been proposed to be crucial for all Piwi proteins in piRNA amplification and transposon silencing5. Here, we report in vivo evidence that, in contrast to common belief, the catalytic triad of Piwi is not required for the function of PIwi in the germline for stem cell maintenance, fertility, transposon silencing, or piRNA biogenesis. In addition, it is not required for piRNA biogenesis in the soma where Piwi is the sole Piwi-subfamily protein involved in the process. These observations, together with the recent findings on MILI and MIWI2 triad mutant, indicate that even though the slicer function may be required for a subset of piRNA-mediated process, it is overall inconsequential for the function of Piwi proteins Assess the role of the endonuclease activity of Piwi in all known biological processes that involve Piwi function in Drosophila ovary

Project description:Overexpression of Atg1 using either weaker CGGAL4 or stronger HRGAL4 driver. Both drivers have same expression pattern and are specific for intestine, Malpighian tubules and fat body of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Weaker Atg1 overexpression results in longer lifespan whereas stronger Atg1 overexpression shortens lifespan compared to controls. Overexpressor lines were combined with tubGAL80ts, which is a temperature sensitive GAL4 repressor. This enabled induction of Atg1 overexpression in day-2 adult fly, thereby bypassing development and any potential developmental effects that Atg1 might have. Fly eggs of appropriate genotype were raised under standard density at 18C and then emerged flies were switched to 27C at day 2 of adulthood for Atg1 overexpression, and were kept at 27C onwards for longevity analyses. Dissected tissue was collected for the transcriptomic analysis at two weeks of age.

Project description:Background: Sm proteins are multimeric RNA-binding factors, found in all three domains of life. Eukaryotic Sm proteins, together with their associated RNAs, form small ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes important in multiple aspects of gene regulation. Comprehensive knowledge of the RNA components of Sm RNPs is critical for understanding their functions. Results: We developed a multi-targeting RNA-immunoprecipitation sequencing (RIP-seq) strategy to reliably identify Sm-associated RNAs from Drosophila ovaries and cultured human cells. Using this method, we discovered three major categories of Sm-associated transcripts: small nuclear (sn)RNAs, small Cajal body (sca)RNAs and mRNAs. Additional RIP-PCR analysis showed both ubiquitous and tissue-specific interactions. We provide evidence that the mRNA-Sm interactions are mediated by snRNPs, and that one of the mechanisms of interaction is via base pairing. Moreover, the Sm-associated mRNAs are mature, indicating a splicing-independent function for Sm RNPs. Conclusions: This study represents the first comprehensive analysis of eukaryotic Sm-containing RNPs, and provides a basis for additional functional analyses of Sm proteins and their associated snRNPs outside of the context of pre-mRNA splicing. Our findings expand the repertoire of eukaryotic Sm-containing RNPs and suggest new functions for snRNPs in mRNA metabolism. RNA-Immunoprecipitation sequencing of RNA-Sm protein complexes.

Project description:Argonaute proteins of the PIWI clade are central to transposon silencing in animal gonads. Their target specificity is defined by 22-30nt PIWI interacting RNAs (piRNAs), which mostly originate from discrete genomic loci termed piRNA clusters. Here we show that the RDC complex composed of Rhino, Deadlock and Cutoff defines dual-strand piRNA clusters genome-wide in Drosophila ovaries. The RDC complex is anchored to H3K9me3-marked chromatin in part via RhinoM-bM-^@M-^Ys chromo-domain. Depletion of Piwi results in loss of the RDC and small RNAs at euchromatic piRNA source loci, demonstrating a feedback loop between Piwi and genomic piRNA sources. Intriguingly, profiles of RNA Polymerase II occupancy, nascent transcription and steady-state RNA levels reveal that the RDC licenses non-canonical transcription of dual-stranded piRNA clusters. Likely, this process involves 5M-bM-^@M-^Yend protection of nascent RNAs and subsequent suppression of transcription termination. Together, our data provide a comprehensive model for the regulation and evolution of piRNA clusters. This study aims at indentifying and characterizing genimc sources of piRNA percursour transcripts using genome-wide apporaches such as ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, smallRNA-seq and GRO-seq in adult Drosophila ovaries depleted for several factors implicated in piRNA cluster regulation

Project description:In this study we provide evidence that Hsp90 binds chromatin at specific sites close to several TSS in Drosophila S2 cell line. In addition of finding a preference for stalled promoter regions of annotated genes, we uncover many intergenic Hsp90 binding sites coinciding with non-annotated transcription start sites. Interestingly, this set includes promoters for primary transcripts of microRNA genes, thereby expanding the scope of Hsp90 to transcriptional control of many genes. We finally conclude that Hsp90 contacts NelfE and thus regulates pol II pausing. Our Dataset comprises of 1 ChIP-seq sample using chromatin from S2 cells which was immunoprecipitated, using antibodies against Drosophila Hsp90. The two biological replicates are submitted along with the input replicates.

Project description:CREB-binding protein (CBP, also known as nejire) is a transcriptional co-activator that is conserved in metazoans. We have generated CBP ChIP-seq data from Drosophila S2 cells and compared it to modENCODE data. This shows that CBP is bound at genomic sites with a wide range of functions. As expected, we find that CBP is bound at active promoters and enhancers. In addition, we find that the strongest CBP sites in the genome are found at Polycomb Response Elements embedded in histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylated (H3K27me3) chromatin, where they correlate with binding of the Pho repressive complex. Interestingly, we find that CBP also binds to most insulators in the genome. At a subset of these, CBP may regulate insulating activity, measured as the ability to prevent repressive H3K27 methylation from spreading into adjacent chromatin. ChIP seq in Drosophila S2 cells using two different antibodies against CBP (nejire), one raised in rabbit against amino acids 2540-3190 (CBP rb), and one raised in guinea-pig against amino acids 1-178 (CBP gp)

Project description:The classification of samples on a molecular level has manifold applications, from cancer biology, where the goal is to classify patients according to effective treatments, to phylogenetics to identify evolutionary relationships between species. In such scenarios modern molecular methods are based on the alignment of DNA or amino acid sequences, often only on selected parts of the genome, but also genome-wide comparisons of sequences are performed. Recently proteomics-based approaches have become popular. An established method for the identification of peptides and proteins is liquid chromatography - tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). This technique is used to identify protein sequences from tandem mass spectra by means of database searches, given samples with known genome-wide sequence information, and then to apply sequence based methods. Alternatively, de novo peptide sequencing algorithms annotate MS/MS spectra and deduce peptide/protein information without the need of database. A newer approach independent of additional information is to directly compare unidentified tandem mass spectra. The challenge then is to compute the distance between pairwise MS/MS runs consisting of thousands of spectra.

Project description:PIWI-clade Argonaute proteins silence transposon expression in animal gonads. Their target specificity is defined by bound ~23-30nt piRNAs that are processed from single-stranded precursor transcripts via two distinct pathways. Primary piRNAs are defined by the endo-nuclease Zucchini, while biogenesis of secondary piRNAs depends on piRNA-guided transcript cleavage and results in piRNA amplification. Here, we analyze the inter-dependencies between these piRNA biogenesis pathways in the developing Drosophila ovary. We show that secondary piRNA-guided target slicing is the predominant mechanism that specifies transcripts—including those from piRNA clusters—as primary piRNA precursors and that defines the spectrum of Piwi-bound piRNAs in germline cells. Post-transcriptional silencing in the cytoplasm therefore enforces nuclear, transcriptional target silencing, which ensures the tight suppression of transposons during oogenesis. As target slicing also defines the nuclear piRNA pool during mouse spermatogenesis, our findings uncover an unexpected conceptual similarity between the mouse and fly piRNA pathways. To understand the hierarchical order of primary versus secondary piRNA biogenesis in Drosophila ovaries, we sequenced piRNAs bound to total-Piwi, germline-Piwi, Aubergine and Argonaute3 from ovaries of germline specific knockdowns of control, piwi, aub, ago3 single knockdowns and aub/ago3 double knockdowns. To determine changes in Transposable Element (TE) transcription or TE RNA steady state in perturbed piRNA pathway conditions, we performed Pol2-ChIP-sequencing and polyA bound RNA-sequencing from ovaries of multiple germline knockdown genotypes. We also sequenced genomic DNA from ovaries of control knockdowns to experimentally estimate the TE copy number in our genetic background. Finally, we used CAP-seq from germline specific Piwi depletions to identify the Transcriptional Start Sites (TSS) in TEs in a deregulated background. Replicates are labeled with R1, R2, R3, R4 where indicated.
