Nucleosomes are context-specific, H2A.Z modulated barriers to RNA polymerase

ABSTRACT: Nucleosomes are barriers to transcription in vitro, however, their effects on RNA polymerase in vivo are unknown. Here we describe a simple and general strategy to comprehensively map the positions of elongating and arrested RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) at nucleotide resolution. Our results suggest that nucleosomes present significant, context-specific barriers to RNAPII in vivo that can be tuned by the incorporation of H2A.Z. 8 sets of two replicates each of paired-end and 3 sets of two replicates each of single-end samples were sequenced and analyzed.

Nucleosomes are barriers to transcription in vitro; however, their effects on RNA polymerase in vivo are unknown. Here we describe a simple and general strategy to comprehensively map the positions of elongating and arrested RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) at nucleotide resolution. We find that the entry site of the first (+1) nucleosome is a barrier to RNAPII for essentially all genes, including those undergoing regulated pausing farther upstream. In contrast to the +1 nucleosome, gene body nucleoso ...[more]

Splicing_Arrays_1

Project description:In this work, we have studied four closely related members of the five known Drosophila hnRNP A/B family, hrp36, hrp38, hrp40, and hrp48. Using splicing-sensitive microarrays, between 200 and 300 genes were detected as specifically regulated by each individual hrp protein following down regulation of the protein expression level by RNAi-mediated knock-down. Keywords: Genetic modification Each individual protein (four total) were individually knock-down. RNA from biological triplicates were isolated 4 days after the initial treatment. A non-specific RNAi control was performed and the RNA isolated from multiple replicates were pooled and used as control sample in the microarray.

The hub protein Loqs connects the miRNA and endo-siRNA pathways in mosquitos

Project description:Aedes aegypti mosquitoes vector several arboviruses of global health significance, including dengue viruses and chikungunya virus. RNA interference (RNAi) plays an important role in antiviral immunity, gene regulation and protection from transposable elements. Double-stranded RNA binding proteins (dsRBPs) are important for efficient RNAi; in Drosophila functional specialization of the miRNA, endo-siRNA and exo-siRNA pathway is aided by the dsRBPs Loqs-PB, Loqs-PD and R2D2, respectively. However, this functional specialization has not been investigated in other dipterans. Characterization of the gene structure, expression pattern and interactions with other RNAi/miRNA components revealed that mosquito Loqs/R3D1 isoform -PA, but not -PB interacted readily with both AeAGO1 and AeAGO2. This interaction was mapped to a 32 a.a. region predicted to be structurally similar to the unique 22 a.a. tail of Drosophila Loqs-PD. No -PD isoforms could be detected in Ae. aegypti; analysis of other dipteran genomes demonstrated that this isoform is not conserved outside of Drosophila. Overexpression experiments indicated that Loqs/R3D1-PA participates in endo-siRNA, but not exo-siRNA based silencing. We conclude that the functional specialization of Loqs-PD in Drosophila is a recently derived trait, and that in other dipterans, including the medically important mosquitoes, Loqs/R3D1-A participates in both the miRNA and endo-siRNA based pathways. 12 samples, 3 replicates of each type of sample.

RNAi knock down of known nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) factors in Drosophila cells

Project description:All eukaryotes studied to date have the capacity to detect and degrade mRNAs harboring premature translation termination codons (PTCs) in a process called nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) (reviewed in Wagner E & Lykke-Andersen J, 2002). This surveillance system allows the cell to prevent the expression of potentially harmful truncated proteins. trans-acting factors required for NMD in Drosophila are the proteins UPF1, UPF2, UPF3, SMG-1, SMG-5 and SMG-6. To identify mRNAs naturally regulated by NMD, we analyzed expression profiles in Drosophila cells RNAi-depleted of known NMD factors using high-density oligonucleotide arrays.

RNAi knock down of GW182 in Drososphila cells compared to cells with knock down of AGO1, a key effector of miRNA-mediated gene silencing

Project description:RNA silencing pathways are conserved gene regulation mechanisms that lead to degradation, translational repression or transcriptional silencing of target-transcripts selected based on complementarity with small RNA molecules. Using firefly luciferase reporters, we previously were able show that the RNA binding protein GW182 plays a role in microRNA-mediated gene silencing (Rehwinkel, J. et al., RNA J. 2005). In this study, we provide further evidence for the role GW182 in the miRNA pathway by determining targets regulated by this protein at the genomic level. We examined expression profiles in Drosophila cells depleted of GW182 and compared these profiles to data obtained from cells depleted of AGO1, a key effector of miRNA-mediated gene silencing.

Genome-wide control of RNA polymerase II activity by cohesin (sequencing)

Project description:Cohesin is a well-known mediator of sister chromatid cohesion, but it also influences gene expression and development. These non-canonical roles of cohesin are not well understood, but are vital: gene expression and development are altered by modest changes in cohesin function that do not disrupt chromatid cohesion. To clarify cohesin’s roles in transcription, we measured how cohesin controls RNA polymerase II (Pol II) activity by genome-wide chromatin immunoprecipitation and precision global run-on sequencing. On average, cohesin-binding genes have more transcriptionally active Pol II and promoter-proximal Pol II pausing than non-binding genes, and are more efficient, producing higher steady state levels of mRNA per transcribing Pol II complex. Cohesin depletion frequently increases pausing at cohesin-binding genes, indicating that cohesin often facilitates transition of paused Pol II to elongation. In many cases this likely reflects a role for cohesin in transcriptional enhancer function. Strikingly, more than 95% of predicted extragenic enhancers bind cohesin, and cohesin depletion can reduce their association with Pol II, indicating that cohesin facilitates enhancer-promoter contact. Cohesin directly promotes transcription of the myc gene, and cohesin depletion reduces Pol II activity at most Myc target genes. The multiple transcriptional roles of cohesin revealed by these studies likely underlie the growth and developmental deficits caused by minor changes in cohesin activity. The PRO-seq method was used to measure transcriptionally engaged Pol II genome-wide in two replicates each of mock RNAi-treated, Nipped-B RNAi-treated, and Rad21 RNAi-treated ML-DmBG3-c2 cells.

RNAi knock-down of CAF1-CCR4-NOT1 deadenylase complex or AGO1 in D. melanogaster S2 cells

Project description:miRNAs silence gene expression by repressing translation and/or by promoting mRNA decay. AGO1 is a key protein required for miRNA-mediated gene silencing. In animal cells, mRNA degradation of partially complementary miRNA targets occurs via deadenylation by the CAF1-CCR4-NOT1 deadenylase complex, followed by decapping and subsequent exonucleolytic digestion. To determine how generally miRNAs trigger deadenylation, we compared mRNA expression profiles in D. melanogaster cells depleted of AGO1, CAF1 or NOT1. We show that approximately 45% of AGO1-targets are regulated by both CAF1 and NOT1, indicating deadenylation is a widespread effect of miRNA regulation.<br><br>We employed RNA interference using long double-stranded RNAs to deplete cultured S2 cells of AGO1 (CG6671, 2 independent samples), CAF1 (CG5684, 2 independent samples), or NOT1 (CG1884, 3 independent samples). Further, we used Affymetrix oligonucleotide microarrays to analyze expression profiles in these samples. We included the following controls: mock RNAi treatment and GFP dsRNA treatment (3 and 2 independent samples, respectively).<br>
