ChIP-Seq of NSL3 and MBD-R2 in Drosophila melanogaster S2 cells to investigate the function of Non-Specific Lethal (NSL) complex

ABSTRACT: The major H4K16 acetylase MOF has been found in two complexes, the Male-Specific Lethal (MSL) and the Non-Specific Lethal (NSL) complex. The latter one consists of at least 7 members: NSL1, NSL2, NSL3, MBD-R2, MCRS2, WDS, and MOF. To investigate it's function, we performed genome-wide profiling of NSL3 and MBD-R2 in S2 cells. In addition, we obtained ChIP-Seq profiles for NSL1 and MCRS2 from 3rd instar larvae salivary glands that can be accessed via the accession number E-MTAB-214. This submission is also related to E-MTAB-1084.

Project description:Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 3 (PARP3) is a member of the PARP family of enzymes. It is structurally related to the well characterized type member PARP1 that orchestrates DNA strand break repair and cell death by the synthesis of poly(ADP-ribose). In contrast, the functions of PARP3 are undefined. We have used several in vitro and in vivo approaches to examine the possible functions of PARP3 as a transcriptional regulator, a function suggested from its previously reported association with several Polycomb group (PcG) proteins. A ChIP-chip analysis of PARP3 gene occupancy in the human neuroblastoma cell line SK-N-SH reveals that PARP3 is preferentially associated with developmental genes and is significantly enriched around the transcriptional start site of several genes encoding neuronal and sensory placodes specifiers, such as SOX9, DLX3 and DLX4. Using zebrafish as a vertebrate animal model, we demonstrate that Parp3 plays a key role in ectodermal and neural crest specification. Morpholino oligonucleotide-directed inhibition of parp3 expression in zebrafish impairs the expression of the neural crest cell specifier sox9a and of dlx3b/dlx4b, the formation of cranial sensory placodes, inner ears and pectoral fins. It delays pigmentation and severely impedes the development of the median fin fold and tail bud. Our findings demonstrate that Parp3 is crucial in the early stages of zebrafish development, possibly by exerting its transcriptional regulatory functions as early as during the specification of the neural plate border. ChIP were conducted as described (Rodrigue et al. 2006). PARP3 was immunoprecipitated from 3 x 10^7 SK-N-SH cells with a commercial anti-PARP3 (Enzo Life Sciences ALX-210-541). In control ChIP, PARP3 antibodies were replaced by rabbit IgG. Two independent PARP3 and control ChIP-chip experiments were achieved. The DNA was amplified using LM-PCR and labelled with Cy5 (PARP3) and Cy3 (IgG) before hybridization on Agilent Human promoter arrays (two 244k chip per ChIP for a total of 4 chips). Detailed protocols can be found at http://www.ircm.qc.ca/microsites/francoisrobert/en. Regions significantly enriched for PARP3 relative to IgG were identified as described (Lee et al. 2006).

Project description:The proper balance of excitatory and inhibitory neurons is crucial to normal processing of somatosensory information in the dorsal spinal cord. Two neural basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors, Ascl1 and Ptf1a, are essential for generating the correct number and sub-type of neurons in multiple regions of the nervous system. M-BM- In the dorsal spinal cord, Ascl1 and Ptf1a have contrasting functions in specifying inhibitory versus excitatory neurons. To understand how Ascl1 and Ptf1a function in these processes, we identified their direct transcriptional targets genome-wide in the embryonic mouse neural tube using ChIP-Seq and RNA-Seq. We show that Ascl1 and Ptf1a regulate the specification of excitatory and inhibitory neurons in the dorsal spinal cord through direct regulation of distinct homeodomain transcription factors known for their function in neuronal sub-type specification. Besides their roles in regulating these homeodomain factors, Ascl1 and Ptf1a each function differently during neuronal development with Ascl1 directly regulating genes with roles in several steps of the neurogenic program including, Notch signaling, neuronal differentiation, axon guidance, and synapse formation. In contrast, Ptf1a directly regulates genes encoding components of the neurotransmitter machinery in inhibitory neurons, and other later aspects of neural development distinct from those regulated by Ascl1. Moreover, Ptf1a represses the excitatory neuronal fate by directly repressing several targets of Ascl1. Examination of the Ascl1 and Ptf1a bound sequences shows they are enriched for a common E-Box with a GC core and with additional motifs used by Sox, Rfx, Pou, and Homeodomain factors. Ptf1a bound sequences are uniquely enriched in an E-Box with a GA/TC core and in the binding motif for its co-factor Rbpj, providing two keys to specificity of Ptf1a binding. The direct transcriptional targets identified for Ascl1 and Ptf1a provide a molecular understanding for how they function in neuronal development, particularly as key regulators of homeodomain transcription factors required for neuronal sub-type specification. Examination of Ascl1 and Ptf1a genome-wide binding in developing neural tube.
