Project description:The vast majority of bacterial open reading frames (ORFs) are identified by automated prediction algorithms. However, these algorithms fail to identify ORFs that deviate from the canonical features of ORFs such as a length of >50 codons, and the presence of an upstream Shine-Dalgarno sequence. Here, we use ribosome profiling approaches to experimentally identify actively translated ORFs in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Most of the ORFs we identify have not been previously described, indicating that the M. tuberculosis transcriptome is pervasively translated. Moreover, the newly described ORFs are predominantly short, with many encoding proteins of ≤50 amino acids. The codon usage of the newly discovered ORFs suggests that most are not undergoing purifying selection, and hence are unlikely to contribute to cell fitness. Nevertheless, we identify ~90 new ORFs, with a median length of 52 codons, that bear the hallmarks of purifying selection. Thus, our data suggest that pervasive translation of short ORFs serves as a rich source for the evolution of new functional proteins

Project description:Chronic high sugar feeding induces obesity, hyperglycemia, and insulin resistance in flies and mammals. These phenotypes are controlled by the fat body, a liver- and adipose- like tissue in Drosophila flies. To gain insight into the mechanisms underlying the connection between diet and insulin sensitivity, we used Illumina RNA-seq to profile gene expression in fat bodies isolated from chronically high sugar fed, wandering (post-prandial) third instar wild type larvae w(L3). These data were compared to control-fed wild-type wL3 fat bodies as well as those expressing transgenic interfering RNA (i) targeting CG18362 (Mio/dChREBP) in the fat body on both diets. Female VDRC w1118, cgGAL4, UAS-Dcr2 or UAS-ChREBPi(52606), cgGAL4, UAS-Dcr2 wandering third instar larvae were fed control (0.15M) or high (0.7M) sucrose and fat bodies isolated for RNA extraction.

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.

Project description:We report here the genome-wide localization of the histone acetyltransferase MYST5 (cg1984) in Drosophila. ChIP-seq analysis was performed with two anti-MYST5 antibodies in S2 cells. We found MYST5 to bind to the promoters of actively transcribed genes. MYST5 furthermore showed extensive colocalization with boundary/ insulator factors, including Chriz/ Chromator, CP190, dCTCF and BEAF-32, which mediate the organization of the genome into functionally distinct topological domains. Altogether, our data suggest a broad role for MYST5 both in gene-specific transcriptional regulation and in the organization of the genome into chromatin domains.

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.

Project description:During animal development, a fertilized egg is initially under the control of maternal products and only starts zygotic transcription after several cell divisions. In animals such as Xenopus, zebrafish and Drosophila, a massive increase in zygotic transcription occurs during the mid-blastula transition (MBT), when cells shift from rapid, synchronous cell divisions without gap phases to prolonged asynchronous divisions. Before MBT, only a few so-called pre-MBT genes are expressed. How transcription is set up during these early stages is poorly understood. For example, paused RNA Polymerase (Pol II) is frequently found at developmental control genes in mammalian embryonic stem cells and Drosophila embryos but when Pol II pausing is first established in the embryo is unknown. We have analyzed the genome-wide Pol II occupancy during the maternal-to-zygotic transition in hand-staged Drosophila embryos. The results show that massive Pol II recruitment and pausing is established during MBT. The ~100 genes that are transcribed before MBT are particularly short, consistent with a need for rapid transcription during these early cell divisions. Remarkably, most of these genes are transcribed without Pol II pausing and this correlates with a TATA-enriched promoter type. This suggests that distinct strategies are used for activation in the early Drosophila embryo and this may reflect general dynamic properties of promoters used throughout development.

Project description:Poised RNA polymerase II is predominantly found at developmental control genes and is thought to allow their rapid and synchronous induction in response to extracellular signals. How the recruitment of poised RNA Pol II is regulated during development is not known. By isolating muscle tissue from Drosophila embryos at five stages of differentiation, we show that the recruitment of poised Pol II occurs at many genes de novo and this makes them permissive for future gene expression. When compared to other tissues, these changes are stage-specific and not tissue-specific. In contrast, Polycomb group repression is tissue-specific and in combination with Pol II (the balanced state) marks genes with highly dynamic expression. This suggests that poised Pol II is temporally regulated and is held in check in a tissue-specific fashion. We compare our data to mammalian embryonic stem cells and discuss a framework for predicting developmental programs based on chromatin state.
