The effect of Wolbachia infection on Drosophila ovarian transcript levels

ABSTRACT: We used microarray analysis to screen the Drosophila genome for effects of Wolbachia infection on transcript levels in wildtype adult immature ovaries. Keywords: Comparative expression analysis of infection effect To generate the ovaries to be compared, we first rid a wildtype Canton-S line of Drosophila of the well characterized YW strain of Wolbachia that it harbored (Bourtzis et al., 1998, Presgraves, 2000) by raising the flies for three generations on food containing tetracycline. After the line had been raised for three more generations on food without tetracycline, we used a standard PCR assay (O'Neil et al., 1999) to confirm that the line was Wolbachia free. Genetically matched infected and uninfected females were recovered as the daughters from two reciprocal crosses between the infected and the cured Canton-S lines. Previtellogenic ovaries were harvested from these females 1-5 h after eclosion

Effects of Wolbachia infection and ovarian tumor mutations on Sex-lethal germline functioning in Drosophila.

Sun Sha S Cline Thomas W TW

Genetics 20090126 4

Wolbachia is a ubiquitous intracellular endosymbiont of invertebrates. Surprisingly, infection of Drosophila melanogaster by this maternally inherited bacterium restores fertility to females carrying ovarian tumor (cystocyte overproliferation) mutant alleles of the Drosophila master sex-determination gene, Sex-lethal (Sxl). We scanned the Drosophila genome for effects of infection on transcript levels in wild-type previtellogenic ovaries that might be relevant to this suppression of female-steri ...[more]

Polycomb repressive complex 2-dependent and M-bM-^@M-^Sindependent functions of Jarid2 in transcriptional regulation in Drosophila [Affymetrix]

Project description:Jarid2 was recently identified as an important component of the mammalian Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2), where it has a major effect on PRC2 recruitment in mouse embryonic stem cells. Although Jarid2 is conserved in Drosophila, it has not previously been implicated in Polycomb (Pc) regulation. Therefore, we purified Drosophila Jarid2 and its associated proteins and find that Jarid2 associates with all of the known canonical PRC2 components, demonstrating a conserved physical interaction with PRC2 in flies and mammals. Furthermore, in vivo studies with Jarid2 mutants in flies demonstrate that among several histone modifications tested, only H3K27 methylation, the mark implemented by PRC2, was affected. Genome-wide profiling of Jarid2, Su(z)12 and H3K27me3 occupancy by ChIP-seq indicates that Jarid2 and Su(z)12 have a very similar distribution pattern on chromatin. However, Jarid2 and Su(z)12 occupancy levels at some genes are significantly different with Jarid2 being present at relatively low levels at many Pc response elements (PREs) of certain Homeobox (Hox) genes, providing a rationale for why Jarid2 was never identified in Pc screens. Gene expression analyses show that Jarid2 and E(z) (a canonical PRC2 component) are required not only for transcriptional repression but might also function in active transcription. Identification of Jarid2 as a conserved PRC2 interactor in flies provides an opportunity to begin to probe some of its novel functions in Drosophila development. Expression analyses of Jarid2 mutants in larvae and eye imaginal discs. Expression analyses of E(z) RNAi in larvae.

Menin links the stress response to genome stability in Drosophila melanogaster

Project description:Mutants of the Mnn1 gene are hyper-sensitive to several stresses and display increased genome instability when subjected to conditions, such as heat shock, generally regarded as non-genotoxic. We describe a role for Menin as a global regulator of heat shock gene expression and critical factor in the maintenance of genome integrity 2-colour microarray design using 36 microarrays testing shock vs non shock in Drosophila melanogaster. Using a test of loss-of-heterozygosity, we show that Drosophila strains lacking a functional Mnn1 gene or expressing a Mnn1 dsRNAi are characterized by increased genome instability in response to short, repeated but non-lethal heat shock or hypoxia treatments. The same was true for strains lacking all Hsp70 genes.

Trans-generationally inherited piRNAs trigger piRNA biogenesis by changing the chromatin of piRNA clusters and inducing precursor processing [Rhino RNA-seq]

Project description:Small non-coding RNAs that associate with Piwi proteins, called piRNAs, serve as guides for repression of diverse transposable elements in germ cells of Metazoa. In Drosophila, the genomic regions that give rise to piRNAs, the so-called piRNA clusters, are transcribed to generate long precursor molecules that are processed into mature piRNAs. How genomic regions that give rise to piRNA precursor transcripts are differentiated from the rest of the genome and how these transcripts are specifically channeled into the piRNA biogenesis pathway are not known. We found that trans-generationally inherited piRNAs provide the critical trigger for piRNA production from homologous genomic regions in the next generation by two different mechanisms. First, inherited piRNAs enhance processing of homologous transcripts into mature piRNAs by initiating the ping-pong cycle in the cytoplasm. Second, inherited piRNAs induce installment of the H3K9me3 mark on genomic piRNA cluster sequences. The HP1 homolog Rhino binds to the H3K9me3 mark through its chromodomain and is enriched over piRNA clusters. Rhino recruits the piRNA biogenesis factor Cutoff to piRNA clusters and is required for efficient transcription of piRNA precursors. We propose that trans-generationally inherited piRNAs act as an epigenetic memory for identification of substrates for piRNA biogenesis on two levels, by inducing a permissive chromatin environment for piRNA precursor synthesis and by enhancing processing of these precursors. total RNA sequencing of RNA from ovaries of shWhite and Rhino knockdown flies

Expression profiling of over-expression of conspecific and heterspecific miR-310 cluster in Drosophila (cDNA array)

Project description:The miRNA 310-311-312-313 cluster from D. melanogaster (referred to as Dm310s) and the homolog from D. pseudoobscura (Dp310s) were used to transform D. melanogaster. The over-expression of UAS-miR310s in the Dm310s transgenic line M1-7 and Dp310s transgenic line P4-18 was driven by GAL4 line NP5941 with native miR-310 expression pattern. We used DGRC-1 cDNA arrays to assess the effects of miR310s over-expression on the whole transcriptome. Direct two-colour design involving six arrays in three dye-swap pairs, with each pair used for the pairwise comparison of Dm310s, Dp310s and w1118 (control).

Quantitative Proteomics Analysis to Assess Protein Expression Levels in the Ovaries of Pubescent Goats

Project description:Herein we identified 301 (176 up- and 125 downregulated) differentially abundant proteins (DAPs) in the ovaries of pubertal and prepubertal Anhui white goats (P < 0.05) using quantitative proteomics techniques based on LC–MS/MS and iTRAQ. Gene ontology functional enrichment analysis revealed that several DAPs enriched in biological processes were related to cellular process, biological regulation, metabolic process, and response to stimulus. Further, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis indicated that DAPs were enriched in olfactory translation, glutathione metabolism, and calcium signaling pathways.

Differentially expressed miRNAs between the ovaries of Wolbachia-infected and Wolbachia-uninfected Laodelphax striatellus

Project description:Laodelphax striatellus is naturally infected with the Wolbachia strain wStri, which significantly increase the fecundity of its host. Wolbachia-infected females produce 30%–40% more eggs than Wolbachia-uninfected females. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of endogenous non-coding small RNAs that play critical roles in the regulation of gene expression at post-transcriptional level. Here we report the differentially expressed miRNAs between Wolbachia-infected and Wolbachia-uninfected strains of L. striatellus ovaries. Our data may be helpful to explore the molecular mechanisms by which Wolbachia increase the fecundity of Laodelphax striatellus.

Wolbachia and virus alter the host transcriptome at the interface of nucleotide metabolism pathways

Project description:Wolbachia is a maternally transmitted bacterium that manipulates arthropod and nematode biology in myriad ways. The Wolbachia strain colonizing Drosophila melanogaster creates sperm-egg incompatibilities and protects its host against RNA viruses, making it a promising tool for vector control. Despite successful trials using Wolbachia-transfected mosquitoes for Dengue control, knowledge of how Wolbachia and viruses jointly affect insect biology remains limited. Using the Drosophila melanogaster model, transcriptomics and gene expression network analyses revealed pathways with altered expression and splicing due to Wolbachia colonization and virus infection. Included are metabolic pathways previously unknown to be important for Wolbachia-host interactions. Additionally, Wolbachia-colonized flies exhibit a dampened transcriptomic response to virus infection, consistent with early blocking of virus replication. Finally, using Drosophila genetics, we show Wolbachia and expression of nucleotide metabolism genes have interactive effects on virus replication. Understanding the mechanisms of pathogen blocking will contribute to the effective development of Wolbachia-mediated vector control programs.

Microarray analysis of Wolbachia infected Anopheles gambiae Sua5B cells

Project description:Wolbachia, an endosymbiotic bacterium, is being investigated as a vector control agent in several insect species. Along with the well known classical reproductive parasitism Wolbachia employs against its host to spread within the population, it is emerging that the bacteria can protect the host against pathogens and reduced pathogen transmission. Anopheles mosquitoes, which transmit malaria, have never been found to harbour Wolbachia in nature, and despite numerous transinfection attempts, no stable line has been developed. However recently, two strains of Wolbachia, wAlbB from Aedes albopictus, and wRi from Drosophila simulans were cultured in Anopheles gambiae Sua5B cells. These cell lines provides an amenable system to study Wolbachia-Anopheles interaction in the absence of a stable transinfected line. It has been proposed that the compromised vector competence of Wolbachia infected insects is due to an up regulation of the basal immune state. We therefore completed a genome wide expression profile of Wolbachia infected Anopheles, assessing both wAlbB and wRi infected cells in parallel against uninfected Sua5B cells.
