Project description:TDP-1 is the C. elegans ortholog of mammalian TDP-43, which is strongly implicated in the etiology of Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). We discovered that deletion of the tdp-1 gene results in enhanced transcriptional gene silencing leading to increased sensitivity to heritable RNA interference (RNAi). As heritable RNAi in C. elegans depends on chromatin changes moderated by HPL-2, a homolog of heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1), we investigated the interaction of TDP-1 and HPL-2. We find that TDP-1 and HPL-2 interact directly, and loss of TDP-1 dramatically alters the chromatin association of HPL-2. We have shown previously that deletion of the tdp-1 gene results in transcriptional alterations and the accumulation of double-stranded (ds) RNA. These molecular changes are replicated in an hpl-2 deletion strain, consistent with HPL-2 acting downstream of TDP-1 to modulate these aspects of RNA metabolism. Our observations identify novel mechanisms by which HP1 homologs can be recruited to chromatin, and by which nuclear depletion of human TDP-43 could lead to disease-relevant changes in RNA metabolism.

Project description:Transactive response DNA-binding protein of 43 kDa (TDP-43), a heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) with diverse activities, is a common denominator in several neurodegenerative disorders including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). Orthologs of TDP-43 exist from mammals to invertebrates, but their functions in lower organisms remain poorly understood. Here we systematically studied mutant Caenorhabditis elegans lacking the nematode TDP-43 ortholog, TDP-1. To understand the global gene expression regulation induced by the loss of tdp-1, the C. elegans transcriptomes were compared between the N2 WT animals and the tdp-1(ok803lf) mutant. Transcriptional profiling demonstrated that the loss of TDP-1 altered expression of genes functioning in RNA processing and protein folding. These results suggest that the C. elegans TDP-1 as an RNA-processing protein may have a role in the regulation of protein homeostasis and aging. Global gene expression profiling was performed to compare the transcriptome of wild-type (N2) Caenorabditis elegans and that of tdp-1(ok803) loss-of-function mutant. We analyzed mixed stages of Caenorabditis elegans, wild-type N2 versus tdp-1(ok803), using the Affymetrix C. elegans genome array. Three biological replicates were performed.

Project description:C. elegans mutants deleted for TDP-1, an ortholog of the neurodegeneration-associated RNA binding protein TDP-43, display only mild phenotypes. Nevertheless, transcriptome sequencing revealed that many RNAs were altered in accumulation and/or processing in the mutant. Analysis of these transcriptional abnormalities demonstrates that a primary function of TDP-1 is to limit formation or stability of double-stranded RNA. Specifically, we found that deletion of tdp-1: 1) preferentially alters the accumulation of RNAs with inherent double stranded structure (dsRNA); 2) increases the accumulation of nuclear dsRNA foci, 3) enhances the frequency of adenosine-to-inosine RNA editing, and 4) dramatically increases the amount of transcripts immunoprecipitable with a dsRNA-specific antibody, including intronic sequences, RNAs with antisense overlap to another transcript, and transposons. We also show that TDP-43 knockdown in human cells results in accumulation of dsRNA , indicating that suppression of dsRNA is a conserved function of TDP-43 in mammals. Altered accumulation of structured RNA may account for some of the previously described molecular phenotypes (e.g., altered splicing) resulting from reduction of TDP-43 function.

Project description:Tissue-specific chromatin binding patterns of C. elegans heterochromatin proteins HPL-1 and HPL-2 reveal differential roles in the regulation of gene expression.

Project description:Differentiated cells rely on segregation of the genome into heterochromatin and euchromatin, but the mechanisms that establish these domains in vivo are incompletely understood. The current models suggest that heterochromatin is marked by histone H3 lysine 9 methylation (H3K9me), which recruits heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1), to compact chromatin and repress transcription. In C. elegans, the SETDB1 homolog MET-2 is essential for H3K9me-mediated gene silencing; however, MET-2 also localizes to heterochromatic foci independently of H3K9me and exhibits non-catalytic functions that support both germline and somatic development. Here we extend these findings by examining the classical H3K9me reader HP1. We show that HPL-2/HP1 deficient in methyl-lysine binding or in the absence of H3K9me can still repress transcription, promote organogenesis and localize to heterochromatin foci. Whereas activity remains in the absence of the HPL-2:H3K9me interaction, complete loss of met-2 and hpl-2 shows synergistic phenotypes for organogenesis and gene de-repression, underscoring the existence of additional, H3K9me-independent functions. HPL-2 and MET-2 require distinct binding partners for their localization and activity: MET-2 associates with the disordered protein LIN-65/ATF7IP, while HPL-2 depends on the multi-zinc finger protein LIN-13, which interacts with the HPL-2 chromoshadow domain. Our findings suggest that HPL-2 and MET-2 operate in parallel pathways, localizing to heterochromatic foci and promoting gene silencing and organogenesis, with H3K9me acting as a reinforcing, but non-essential, element in these processes.
