Analysis of Drosophila salivary glands and Kc cells with depleted levels of linker histone H1 (Illumina smRNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Salivary glands or larval ovaries were isolated from transgenic flies expressing RNAi targeting Nautilus (control) or linker histone H1 using a Tub-Gal4 driver. ~200 larvae were used to isolate salivary glands or ovaries, independently. Total RNA was isolated using Trizol reagent following manufacturer's guidelines. Then 5 M-BM-5g of total RNA was separated on a polyacrylamide gel, and 18-29 nt small RNAs were isolated for cloning.

Eukaryotic genomes harbor transposable elements and other repetitive sequences that must be silenced. Small RNA interference pathways play a major role in their repression. Here, we reveal another mechanism for silencing these sequences in Drosophila. Depleting the linker histone H1 in vivo leads to strong activation of these elements. H1-mediated silencing occurs in combination with the heterochromatin-specific histone H3 lysine 9 methyltransferase Su(var)3-9. H1 physically interacts with Su(va ...[more]

Production of artificial piRNAs in flies and mice

Project description:In animals, a discrete class of small RNAs, the piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs), guard germ cell genomes against the activity of mobile genetic elements. piRNAs are generated, via an unknown mechanism, from apparently single-stranded precursors that arise from discrete genomic loci, termed piRNA clusters. The content of piRNA clusters, determines the capacity of the system to respond to a given element, in essence comprising an organism's evolving molecular definition of transposons. Presently, little is known about the signals that distinguish a locus as a source of piRNAs and about how abundant piRNAs are selected. To address these questions, we inserted new sequence information into piRNA clusters in mice and flies. In all cases, this information was incorporated into the piRNA repertoire and in one instance was shown to confer the ability to recognize and silence a corresponding element. Notably, patterns of piRNA abundance suggested that both intrinsic sequence and context with the cluster inform piRNA generation. Though piRNAs themselves are not conserved between species, the genomic location of clusters is often retained. We were able to create artificial piRNA clusters in non-native contexts in both mice and flies, indicating that the signals that define these as generative loci must lie within the clusters themselves rather than being implicit in their genomic position. Total RNA and RNA associated with Piwi proteins were isolated and size-fractionated by PAGE into 19-33nt. These were processed and sequenced on the Illumina GA2 platform.

A genome-wide RNAi screen draws a genetic framework for transposon control and primary piRNA biogenesis in Drosophila

Project description:A large fraction of our genome consists of mobile genetic elements. Governing transposons in germ cells is critically important, and failure to do so compromises genome integrity, leading to sterility. In animals, the piRNA pathway is the key to transposon constraint, yet the precise molecular details of how piRNAs are formed and how the pathway represses mobile elements remain poorly understood. In an effort to identify general requirements for transposon control and novel components of the piRNA pathway, we carried out a genome-wide RNAi screen in Drosophila ovarian somatic sheet cells. We identified and validated 87 genes necessary for transposon silencing. Among these were several novel piRNA biogenesis factors. We also found CG3893 (asterix) to be essential for transposon silencing, most likely by contributing to the effector step of transcriptional repression. Asterix loss leads to decreases in H3K9me3 marks on certain transposons but has no effect on piRNA levels. We sequenced small RNAs, RNA-seq and ChIP-seq from either tj-Gal4 driven hpRNA knockdown flies or P-element insertion flies

Small RNA sequencing of transgenes silencing by paramutation in C. elegans

Project description:In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, different small RNA-dependent gene silencing mechanisms act in the germline to initiate transgenerational gene silencing. Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) can initiate transposon and gene silencing by acting upstream of endogenous short interfering RNAs (siRNAs), which engage a nuclear RNA interference (RNAi) pathway to trigger transcriptional gene silencing. Once gene silencing has been established, it can be stably maintained over multiple generations without the requirement of the initial trigger and is also referred to as RNAe or paramutation. This heritable silencing depends on the integrity of the nuclear RNAi pathway. However, the exact mechanism by which silencing is maintained across generations is not understood.Here we demonstrate that silencing of piRNA targets involves the production of two distinct classes of small RNAs with different genetic requirements. The first class, secondary siRNAs, are localized close to the direct target site for piRNAs. Nuclear import of the secondary siRNAs by the Argonaute HRDE-1 leads to the production of a distinct class of small RNAs that map throughout the transcript, which we term tertiary siRNAs. Both classes of small RNAs are necessary for full repression of the target gene and can be maintained independently of the initial piRNA trigger. Consistently, we observed a form of paramutation associated with tertiary siRNAs. Once paramutated, a tertiary siRNA generating allele confers dominant silencing in the progeny regardless of its own transmission, suggesting germline-transmitted siRNAs are sufficient for multigenerational silencing. C. elegans strains containing transgenes silenced by piRNAs were crossed to strains with transgenes with similar sequences but without piRNA target sites, to investigate the spreading of silencing between transgenes mediated by small RNAs. Mutant backgrounds were used to investigate the genetic requirements for this process.

Small RNA sequencing study of C elegans piRNA biogenesis factors

Project description:Identification of defects in piRNAs and piRNA precursors Sequencing of small RNAs (18-30nt). Sample treatments: Secondary siRNAs in C. elegans carry a 5' triphosphate and this has to be removed prior to cloning, hence the use of 5' polyphosphatase treatment to reveal this population. TAP (tobacco acid pyrophosphatase) is another enzyme that removes 5' triphosphate but it also removes 5' CAP structures- we used this to look for piRNA precursor sequences in C. elegans that have a 5' cap.
