Transcriptional Profiling of Class IV da Neurons

ABSTRACT: Elucidating the molecular mechanisms controlling dendrite development is key to understanding the pivotal role these structures play in influencing synaptic integration and neural function. Despite significant advances in this field, genetic pleiotropy remains a significant impediment to investigating such complex developmental processes. To circumvent this problem, we have applied class specific neuron transcriptional expression profiling coupled to an in vivo RNAi functional validation screen in order to dissect the molecular bases of Drosophila class IV dendritic arborization (da) neuron dendritogenesis. Microarray analyses reveal transcriptional regulation as one highly enriched biological and functional category with 420 transcription factors significantly expressed in class IV neurons. Among these, we identify roles for 268 genes in mediating a broad spectrum of functions including dendritic field coverage, branching, routing, and tiling. Collectively, our analyses provide a more comprehensive framework of the role complex transcriptional networks play in directing distinct aspects of class specific dendrite morphogenesis. Gene expression profiling of class IV da neurons performed at the third instar larval stage of development from two independent cell isolations from 40-50 age-matched third instar larvae expressing mCD8::GFP under the control of the GAL4ppk.1.9 driver

Microarray gene expression profiling of isolated class I and class IV Drosophila dendritic arborization sensory neurons

Project description:Class I and IV Drosophila dendritic arborization sensory neurons were isolated via magnetic bead sorting and total RNA isolated from the samples was used for gene expression profiling. Elucidating the molecular mechanisms controlling dendrite development is key to understanding the pivotal role these structures play in influencing synaptic integration and neural function. Despite significant advances in this field, genetic pleiotropy remains a significant impediment to investigating such complex developmental processes. To circumvent this problem, we have applied class specific neuron transcriptional expression profiling coupled to an in vivo RNAi functional validation screen in order to dissect the molecular bases of Drosophila class I and class IV dendritic arborization (da) neuron dendritogenesis. Gene expression profiling of class I and IV da neurons, isolated via magnetic bead sorting (using protocols as described in Iyer et al., 2009), was performed at the third instar larval stage of development from independent cell isolations from 40-50 age-matched third instar larvae expressing mCD8::GFP under the control of either GAL4ppk.1.9 driver or Gal80ppk; GAL4221. For controls, age matched whole larval homogenate RNA was used.

Interactions among Polycomb domains are guided by chromosome architecture

Project description:Polycomb group (PcG) proteins bind and regulate hundreds of genes. Previous evidence has suggested that long-range chromatin interactions may contribute to the regulation of PcG target genes. Here, we adapted the Chromosome Conformation Capture on Chip (4C) assay to systematically map chromosomal interactions in Drosophila melanogaster larval brain tissue. Our results demonstrate that PcG target genes interact extensively with each other in nuclear space. These interactions are highly specific for PcG target genes, because non-target genes with either low or high expression show distinct interactions. Notably, interactions are mostly limited to genes on the same chromosome arm, and we demonstrate that a topological rather than a sequence-based mechanism is responsible for this constraint. Our results demonstrate that many interactions among PcG target genes exist, and that these interactions are guided by overall chromosome architecture. We applied Chromosome Conformation Capture on Chip (4C) to map long-range chromatin interactions among PcDs on a genome-wide scale. Moreover, we implemented a modification of the 4C protocol in which the 4C PCR products are further amplified in a linear fashion using a T7 RNA amplification procedure. Finally, we fluorescently labeled the amplified products with dye and hybridized them to a specially designed microarray, which covers approximately 92% of the non-repetitive fly genome. In this way, we could identify all fragments that are in close contact with a chosen locus with limited material from a single fly tissue (i.e. larval brain).

Golgi Outpost Synthesis Impaired by Toxic Polyglutamine Proteins Contributes to Dendritic Pathology in Neurons

Project description:Dendrite aberration is a common feature of neurodegenerative diseases caused by protein toxicity, but the underlying mechanisms remain largely elusive. Here, we show that nuclear polyglutamine (polyQ) toxicity resulted in defective terminal dendrite elongation accompanied with a loss of Golgi outposts (GOPs) and decreased supply of plasma membrane (PM) in Drosophila Class IV da (C4da) neurons. mRNA sequencing revealed that down-regulated genes by polyQ proteins included many secretory pathway-related genes, including COPII genes regulating GOP synthesis. Transcription factor enrichment analysis identified CREB3L1/CrebA, which regulates COPII gene expression. CrebA overexpression in C4da neurons restored the dysregulation of COPII genes, GOP synthesis, and PM supply. The ChIP-PCR assay revealed that CrebA expression was regulated by CBP, which was sequestered by polyQ proteins. Furthermore, co-overexpression of CrebA and Rac1 synergistically restored the polyQ-induced dendrite pathology. Collectively, our results suggest that GOPs impaired by polyQ proteins contribute to dendrite pathology through the CBP-CrebA-COPII pathway.

HDG1 transcription factor targets

Project description:The AIL transcription factor BABY BOOM (BBM) is required together with the related PLETHORA proteins for embryo and root meristem development and its expression is sufficient to confer pluripotency and totipotency to somatic tissues. We show that BBM and other AIL proteins interact with multiple members of the L1/epidermal-expressed HD-ZIP class IV / HOMEODOMAIN GLABROUS (HDG) transcription factor family. Ectopic overexpression of HDG1, HDG11 and HDG12 genes induces a reduced growth phenotype, and analysis of HDG1 overexpression lines shows that this growth reduction is due to both root and shoot meristem arrest. To understand how HDG1 controls cell proliferation, as well as its functional relationship with BBM, we performed microarray experiments to identify candidate genes that are directly regulated by HDG1, and compared these to the set of genes that are directly regulated by BBM expression. Transcriptomic profiling was done after 8 hours of dexamethasone induction of 35S::GR-HDG1 and wild-type Col-0 seedlings and significantly differentially expressed genes were identified as HDG1 targets.
