Project description:We report chromatin-associated protein and RNA interactions of HP1a, indentified by BioTAP-XL mass spectrometry and sequencing. We identify an extensive list of both known and novel HP1a-interacting proteins from Drosophila S2 cells and from whole organisms across embryonic, larval and adult stages. BioTAP-XL protocol was used to identify HP1a interacting proteins through mass-spectrometry analysis. ChIP-seq-like pulldown/input samples were generated using BioTAP-XL to validate genomic distribution of the HP1a-BioTAP contructs, and the newly identified interacting proteins (CG8290 and CG3680); To examine the RNAs associated with the HP1a complexes, the RNA fraction of the BioTAP-XL pulldowns was analyzed using Illumina-based RNA-seq protocols, as well as Helicos direct RNA sequencing.

Project description:Heterochromatin contains repressively modified histones and replicates late in S phase of the cell cycle. Besides the shortage in replication origins, little is known about replication timing regulation in silenced regions. In Drosophila polytene cells, late replication results in under-replication and decreased DNA copy number in heterochromatic regions of the genome. The Suppressor of Under-replication (SUUR) protein controls this feature â in its absence the DNA polytenization level in most silenced regions is restored, however the repressive histone marks are lost. We hypothesized that SUUR regulates the re-establishment of repressive histone pattern during replication which results in delayed replication completion of heterochromatin. Measuring DNA copy number in mutants with disrupted repressive pathways, we found that under-replication is directly linked to repressive histone marks supply. DamID-seq and ChIP-seq experiments revealed that SuUR mutation does not affect the establishment of heterochromatin domains. Here, we identified a novel SUUR protein interaction (CG12018) that supports SUUR association with replication complex. SUUR loads onto replication forks shortly after the origin firing and participates in chromatin maintenance rather than its establishment. Thus, our findings provide comprehensive evidence that late replication in Drosophila is caused by the time-consuming process of replication-coupled repressive chromatin renewal.

Project description:SIN3 associates with RPD3 and other accessory proteins to form the SIN3 histone modifying complex. A single Sin3A gene encodes multiple SIN3 isoforms, of which SIN3 187 and SIN3 220 are predominant. Previous studies from our laboratory and others have indicated that SIN3 isoforms play non-redundant roles during fly development, however, the genes regulated by SIN3 isoforms are not known. We mapped the genome-wide binding sites of SIN3 isoforms in Drosophila. We established stable S2 cell lines that express either HA-tagged SIN3 187 or SIN3 220. The binding profiles revealed that the majority of the binding sites of SIN3 isoforms are overlapping. Our data revealed that SIN3 isoforms localize to euchromatic regions of the genome and enrichment of SIN3 isoforms are generally concentrated around the transcription start sites of genes. In addition, the extent of SIN3 binding confirmed previous findings indicating that SIN3 is a global transcriptional regulator. Genome-wide binding analysis of SIN3 187 and SIN3 220 in Drosophila. Using chromatin prepared from cell lines expressing either of the isoforms, we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation on chromatin prepared from cells that expresses either of the isoforms using an antibody against HA (ChIP). We coupled our ChIP with high resolution deep sequencing (ChIP-seq) to identify genomic targets of SIN3 isoforms.

Project description:Phenotypic differences between closely related species are thought to arise primarily from changes in gene expression due to mutations in cis-regulatory sequences (enhancers). However, it has remained unclear, how frequently mutations alter enhancer activity or create functional enhancers de novo. Here, we use STARR-seq, a recently developed quantitative enhancer assay, to determine genome-wide enhancer activity profiles for five Drosophila species in the constant trans-regulatory environment of D. melanogaster S2 cells. We find that the function of a large fraction of D. melanogaster enhancers is conserved in their orthologous sequences due to selection and stabilizing turnover of transcription factor motifs. Moreover, hundreds of enhancers have been gained since the D. melanogaster M-bM-^@M-^S D. yakuba split about 11 million years ago without apparent adaptive selection and can contribute to gene expression changes in vivo. Our finding that enhancer activity is often deeply conserved and frequently gained provides important functional insights into regulatory evolution. STARR-seq was performed in S2 cells with paired-end sequencing in two replicates and respective inputs using genomic DNA from different Drosophila species. RNA-seq was performed in a non-stranded manner without replicates for two Drosophila species.

Project description:Genomic enhancers are important regulators of gene expression, but their identification is a challenge and methods depend on indirect measures of activity. We developed a method termed STARR-seq to directly and quantitatively assess enhancer activity for millions of candidates from arbitrary sources of DNA, enabling screens across entire genomes. When applied to the Drosophila genome, STARR-seq identifies thousands of cell type-specific enhancers across a broad continuum of strengths, linking differential gene expression to differences in enhancer activity and creating a genome-wide quantitative enhancer map. This map reveals the highly complex regulation of transcription, with several independent enhancers for both developmental regulators and ubiquitously expressed genes. STARR-seq can be used to identify and quantitate enhancer activity in other eukaryotes, including human. STARR-seq was performed in S2 and OSC cells with paired-end sequencing in two replicates and respective inputs. DHS-seq was done with single-end sequencing in two replicates for S2 and OSC cells. RNA-seq was performed with a strand-specific protocol using single-end sequencing in two replicates within S2 and OSC cells. STARR-seq was also performed in HeLa cells with single-end sequencing with a respective input.

Project description:Polycomb group proteins form two main complexes, PRC2 and PRC1, which generally coregulate their target genes. Here, we show that PRC1 components act as neoplastic tumor suppressors independently of PRC2 function. By mapping the distribution of PRC1 components and the histone H3K27me3 mark, we identify genes that acquire PRC1 and H3K27me3 in larvae, and a much larger set of genes bound by PRC1 in the absence of H3K27me3 in larval tissues. These genes massively outnumber canonical targets and they are preeminently involved in the regulation of cell proliferation, signaling and polarity. Mutation in PRC1 components specifically deregulates this set of genes, whereas canonical targets are derepressed in both PRC1 and PRC2 mutants. In human ES cells, PRC1 components colocalize with H3K27me3 like in Drosophila embryos, whereas they are selectively recruited to a large set of proliferation and signaling-associated genes in differentiated cell types, showing that the redeployment of PRC1 components during development is evolutionarily conserved.

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.
