RIP-seq analysis of eukaryotic Sm proteins identifies three major categories of Sm-containing ribonucleoproteins

ABSTRACT: 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.

Heterochromatin remodeling by CDK12 contributes to learning in Drosophila

Project description:We describe the epigenetic profiling of the H3K9me2 and HP1a in Drosophila third instar larvae before and after CDK12 depletion by RNA interference (RNAi). Here we show that CDK12 regulates heterochromatin dynamics in Drosophila chromosomes. Depletion of CDK12 induces the increased HP1a and H3K9me2 binding profile on the coding region of euchromatic genes, with the X chromosome being the most affected. These results are consistent with the polytene chromosome immunostaining pattern of HP1a and H3K9me2 after CDK12 knockdown in our initial cytological observations, which show that CDK12 depletion induce heterochromatin spreading on euchromatic arms, especially on the X chromosome. This study describes a novel role of the CDK12 complex in controlling the epigenetic transition between euchromatin and heterochromatin. Examination of the genome-wide H3K9me2 and HP1a binding profile in wildtype larvae (WT) and CDK12-depleted larvae (CDK12-KD). Examination of the genome-wide CDK12 binding profile in wildtype larvae (WT). Twelve independent immunoprecipitations were conducted for each antibody. Two biological replicates were performed.

High-throughput sequencing of small RNAs (25-70 nt) from Drosophila wild-type and Dnmt2 mutants

Project description:Dnmt2 genes are highly conserved tRNA methyltransferases with biological roles in cellular stress responses. The absence of obvious mutant phenotypes under laboratory conditions suggested a function for Dnmt2 under non-physiological conditions. Indeed, Dnmt2 has recently been implicated in various aspects of the cellular stress response and the tRNA methyltransferase activity of Dnmt2 has been shown to interfere with stress-induced fragmentation of various tRNAs. We used adult animals and small RNA sequencing during a heat stress experiment to determine the tRNA fragment abundance and identities in wild-type and Dnmt2 mutant somatic tissues. Dnmt2 mutants produced tRNA fragments with different identities when compared to wild-type controls, indicating the accumulation of non-physiological tRNA-derived molecules in tissues without Dnmt2. 6 samples examined: heterozygous and Dnmt2 mutant under control, heat shock and recovery conditions

Tag-seq in eye-antennal and wing imaginal discs of D.melanogaster, D.yakuba, and D.virilis; RNA-seq in wild-type and glass mutant D.melanogaster eye-antennal imaginal discs.

Project description:In this study we use Tag-sequencing in eye-antennal and wing imaginal discs across Drosophila species to determine a set of conserved eye-specific developmental genes. Next, we perform motif discovery analysis using the tool i-cisTarget, to depict the core gene developmental network underlying compound eye photoreceptor. The Glass position weight matrix appears as the most highly overrepresented motif, thus positioning Glass as a master regulator in compound eye photoreceptor development. Differential gene expression analysis by RNA-seq in D.melanogaster wild-type eye-antennal versus glass mutant [gl 60j] shows that the majority of our predicted Glass targets show strong downregulation in the glass mutant. This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE39781: RNA-seq in wild-type and glass mutant eye-antennal discs in Drosophila melanogaster GSE39782: Tag-seq profiling in eye-antennal and wing imaginal discs of D. melanogaster, D. yakuba and D. virilis

Shutdown is a component of the Drosophila piRNA biogenesis machinery (RNA-seq)

Project description:In animals, the piRNA pathway preserves the integrity of gametic genomes, guarding them against the activity of mobile genetic elements. This innate immune mechanism relies on distinct genomic loci, termed piRNA clusters, to provide a molecular definition of transposons, enabling their discrimination from genes. piRNA clusters give rise to long, single-stranded precursors which are processed into primary piRNAs through an unknown mechanism. These can engage in an adaptive amplification loop, the ping-pong cycle, to optimize the content of small RNA populations via the generation of secondary piRNAs. Many proteins have been ascribed functions in either primary biogenesis or the ping-pong cycle, though for the most part the molecular functions of proteins implicated in these pathways remain obscure. Here, we link shutdown, a gene previously shown to be required for fertility in Drosophila, to the piRNA pathway. Analysis of knockdown phenotypes in both the germline and somatic compartments of the ovary demonstrate important roles for shutdown in both primary biogenesis and the ping-pong cycle. shutdown is a member of the FKBP family of immunophilins. Shu contains domains implicated in peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase activity and in the binding of HSP90-family chaperones, though the relevance of these domains to piRNA biogenesis is unknown.

Cloning of 50-75 nt small RNAs associated with Armitage in OSCs

Project description:Armitage (Armi) is a component of Yb bodies and functions in the primary piRNA processing pathway. Armi interaction with Piwi does not require Yb expression; however, without Yb, the Armi-Piwi complex does not localize at Yb bodies and contains few piR-ILs (small RNAs associated with Armitage complex). These results suggest that only upon its localization at Yb bodies does the Armi-Piwi-Yb complex gain an opportunity to interact with piR-ILs. Currently, however, it remains unclear how piR-ILs are loaded onto the Piwi complex at Yb bodies and which protein(s) within the complex is directly bound to them. 1 sample examined: Ovarian somatic cell (OSC) line

The Oscillating miRNA 959-964 cluster impacts Drosophila feeding time and other circadian outputs [miRNA-seq].

Project description:Using high throughput sequencing of Drosophila head RNA, a small set of miRNAs that undergo robust circadian oscillations in levels were discovered. We concentrated on a cluster of six miRNAs, mir-959-964, all of which peak at about ZT12 or lights-off. The data indicate that the cluster pri-miRNA is transcribed under bona fide circadian transcriptional control and that all 6 mature miRNAs have short half-lives, a requirement for oscillating. Manipulation of food intake dramatically affects the levels and timing of cluster miRNA transcription with no more than minor effects on the core circadian oscillator. This indicates that the central clock regulates feeding, which in turn regulates proper levels and cycling of the cluster miRNAs. Viable Gal4 knock-in as well as cluster knock-out and over-expression strains were used to localize cluster miRNA expression as well as explore their functions. The adult head fat body is a major site of expression, and feeding behavior, innate immunity, metabolism, and perhaps stress responses are under cluster miRNA regulation. The feeding behavior results indicate that there is a feedback circuit between feeding time and cluster miRNA function as well as a surprising role of post-transcriptional regulation in these behaviors and physiology. Six samples of small RNA libraries (RNA size 19 to 29 nucleotides long) were prepared from Drosophila heads, each collected at one circadian time point during a light-dark cycle (ZT0, ZT4, ZT8, ZT12, ZT16, ZT20).

Brinker regulates wing disc growth in part via repression of Myc expression

Project description:The molecular mechanisms regulating tissue size represent an unsolved puzzle in developmental biology. One signaling pathway controlling growth of the Drosophila wing is Dpp. Dpp promotes growth via repression of the transcription factor Brinker. The transcriptional targets of Brinker that control cell growth and proliferation, however, are not yet fully elucidated. We report here a genome-wide ChIP-seq of endogenous Brinker from wing imaginal discs. We identify the growth regulator Myc as a target of Brinker and show that Myc together with the microRNA bantam explain a large fraction of the growth inhibition caused by Brinker. This work sheds light on the effector mechanisms by which Dpp signaling controls tissue growth. Identification of Brinker binding sites in Wing imaginal discs cells

Global Analysis of Short RNAs Reveals Widespread Promoter-Proximal Stalling and Arrest of Pol II

Project description:We developed a novel approach to isolate and characterize, at nucleotide-level resolution, the RNAs derived from RNA polymerase II (Pol II) in early elongation complexes. We find that high numbers of these short RNAs are not correlated with gene expression but instead are indicative of promoter-proximally stalled polymerase. High amounts of these short RNAs are generated from more than one third of all genes, indicating that Pol II stalls in the promoter-proximal region on global scale. We also find that the nucleotide composition of the initially transcribed sequence plays an important role in promoting transcriptional stalling and that early elongation complexes are highly susceptible to backtracking and arrest. Global analysis of RNAs produced by promoter-proximal Pol II.

The BTB-zinc finger transcription factor Abrupt acts as an epithelial oncogene in Drosophila through maintaining a progenitor-like cell state

Project description:The capacity of tumor cells to maintain continual overgrowth potential has been linked to the commandeering of normal self-renewal pathways. Using an epithelial cancer model in Drosophila we carried out an overexpression screen for oncogenes capable of cooperating with the loss of the epithelial apico-basal cell polarity regulator, scribbled, and identified the cell fate regulator, Abrupt, a BTB-zinc finger protein. Abrupt overexpression alone is insufficient to transform cells, but in cooperation with scrib loss of function, Abrupt promotes the formation of massive tumors in the eye/antennal disc. The steroid hormone receptor coactivator, Taiman (SRC3/AIB1), is known to associate with Abrupt, and Taiman overexpression also drives tumor formation in cooperation with the loss of Scribbled. Expression arrays and ChIP-Seq indicates that Abrupt overexpression represses a large number of genes, including steroid hormone-response genes and multiple cell fate regulators, thereby maintaining cells within an epithelial progenitor-like state. The progenitor-like state is characterised by the failure to express the conserved Eyes absent/Dachshund regulatory complex in the eye disc, and in the antennal disc by the failure to express cell fate regulators that define the temporal elaboration of the appendage along the proximo-distal axis downstream of Distalless. Loss of scribbled promotes cooperation with Abrupt through impaired Hippo signaling, which is required and sufficient for cooperative overgrowth with Abrupt, and JNK signaling, which is required for tumor cell migration/invasion but not overgrowth. These results thus identify a novel cooperating oncogene, mammalian family members of which are also known oncogenes, and demonstrate that epithelial tumors in Drosophila can be characterised by the maintenance of a progenitor-like state.
