The faint sausage gene encodes a subunit of the spliceosome-activating Prp19 complex and is required for tracheal branching morphogenesis in Drosophila

ABSTRACT: Morphogenesis requires the dynamic regulation of gene expression, including transcription, mRNA maturation and translation. Dysfunction of general components of the splicing machinery can cause surprisingly specific phenotypes, but the basis for these cell-type specific effects is not clear. Here we show that the faint sausage (fas) locus, implicated in epithelial morphogenesis and previously reported to encode a secreted immunoglobulin domain protein, in fact encodes a subunit of the Prp19 complex that is essential for efficient pre-mRNA splicing. Loss of zygotic fas function impairs the efficiency of splicing, associated with widespread retention of introns in mature mRNAs and dramatic changes in gene expression. Surprisingly, despite these general effects, zygotic fas mutants show specific defects in tracheal cell migration. Zygotic fas function becomes essential during late embryogenesis when maternally supplied splicing factors decline. We propose that tracheal branching, which relies on dynamic changes in gene expression, is particularly sensitive for efficient spliceosome function. Our results provide an entry point to study functions of splicing during organogenesis and provide a better understanding of specific disease phenotypes associated with mutations in general splicing factors.

Investigating NAFLD from RNA-seq data (human cell line Huh7) for samples under three treatments: low fat low sugar, low fat high sugar and high fat high sugar. Wild type samples are compared against DGAT2 knocked out.

Project description:Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major public health burden and it covers a spectrum of diseases. NAFLD starts with the accumulation of lipid droplets (LDs) within hepatocytes (steatosis). Part of the challenge of studying the mechanistic processes involved in LD accumulation and their implications on the pathogenesis of human NAFLD is due to the available models. Investigating hepatic LDs in humans is challenging and relies on liver biopsies, meaning only cross-sectional data be obtained. On the other hand, LD patterns in in vitro models are poorly defined and rarely reported. Diacylgylcerol acyltransferase (DGAT)2 is one of two enzymes that carry out the final committed step in triacylglycerol (TAG) synthesis. It is unclear whether the enzymes are able to compensate for each other or whether they have distinct roles. It has been hypothesised that DGAT1 primarily utilises exogenous fatty acids and DGAT2 uses de novo-derived fatty acids. Given the important role of this enzyme in TAG synthesis and accumulation, the aims of this study are first to create a cellular model of intrahepatocellular TAG accumulation by manipulating nutritional substrates and to investigate intracellular metabolism in wildtype and DGAT2 knockout cells under these conditions. The experimental workflow for this study is as follows: Huh7 cells (either wild type or knockout) were grown in media containing 11 mM glucose and 2% human serum (HS) for seven days before additional sugars and fatty acids (FAs) were added for a further seven days. All treatments contained 11 mM glucose and 2% HS, either with 200 µM FAs (low fat low sugar; LFLS), 5.5 mM fructose + 200 µM FAs (low fat high sugar; LFHS) or 5.5 mM fructose + 800 µM FAs (high fat high sugar; HFHS). FA metabolism, lipid droplet characteristics and transcriptomic signatures were investigated.

Dnaaf4 and Dnaaf6 are required for assembly of ODAs and a subset of IDAs.

Project description:Axonemal dynein motors are large multisubunit complexes that drive ciliary movement. Cytoplasmic assembly of these motor complexes involves several co-chaperones, some of which are related to the R2TP co-chaperone complex. The different roles of these co-chaperones is not completely known. Two such dynein assembly factors (DNAAFs) that are thought to function together in an R2TP-like complex are DNAAF4 (DYX1C1) and DNAAF6 (PIH1D3). Here we investigate the Drosophila homologues, CG14921/Dnaaf4 and CG5048/Dnaaf6. Surprisingly, Drosophila Dnaaf4 is truncated such it lacks a TPR domain, which is proposed to recruit HSP90 in human DNAAF4. Despite this, we provide evidence that Dnaaf4 and Dnaaf6 proteins can associate in an R2TP-like complex, and show functional conservation. Both are specifically expressed and required in the development of the two Drosophila cell types with motile cilia: mechanosensory chordotonal neurons and sperm. Flies that lack either gene are viable but with impaired chordotonal neuron function and lack motile sperm. We provide evidence that Dnaaf4 and Dnaaf6 are required for assembly of ODAs and a subset of IDAs.

The exon junction complex regulates the splicing of cell polarity gene dlg1 to control Wingless signaling in development

Project description:Wingless (Wg)/Wnt signaling is conserved in all metazoan animals and plays critical roles in development. The Wg/Wnt morphogen reception is essential for signal activation, whose activity is mediated through the receptor complex and a scaffold protein Dishevelled (Dsh). We report here that the exon junction complex (EJC) activity is indispensable for Wg signaling by maintaining an appropriate level of Dsh protein for Wg ligand reception in Drosophila. Transcriptome analyses in Drosophila wing imaginal discs indicate that the EJC controls the splicing of the cell polarity gene disc large 1 (dlg1), whose coding protein directly interacts with Dsh. Genetic and biochemical experiments demonstrate that Dlg1 protein acts independently from its role in cell polarity to protect Dsh protein from lysosomal degradation. More importantly, human orthologous Dlg protein is sufficient to promote Dvl protein stabilization and Wnt signaling activity, thus revealing a conserved regulatory mechanism of Wg/Wnt signaling by Dlg and EJC. whole transcriptome RNA-seq to examine mRNAs extracted from wildtype (i.e. overexpressing lacZ) and pre-EJC-defective (i.e. overexpressing tsu RNAi) wing discs, respectively.

Dm Ladybird over-expression and loss-of-function Expression Profiling

Project description:In order to identify Ladybird mesodermal and heart target genes, we decided to analyse the transcriptional profiling of embryos with a targeted gain and Loss of function approach. Embryos were collected at stages 11 to 15 of embryogenesis corresponding to the lb expression period. Homozygous ectopically expressing or repressing embryos were collected from a large scale cross of UAS-lbe or UAS-RNAi-lbe flies with 24B-Gal4 or Tin-Gal4 flies, in parallel to stage-matched control. Three independent collections were performed. Total RNA was extracted. Ectopically expression and reference samples were hybridized together on GeneChip Drosophila Genome array2. With this approach, we were able to dicover a repertory of genes involved in different aspects of muscle and heart formation showing a multi-step action of this family of identity genes.

Transcriptional profiling of Drosophila wing pouch following CR32027 RNAi

Project description:The eukaryotic cell cycle, driven by both transcriptional and post-translational mechanisms, is the central molecular oscillator underlying tissue growth throughout animals. While genome-wide studies have investigated cell cycle-associated transcription in unicellular systems, global patterns of periodic transcription in multicellular tissues remain largely unexplored. Here we define the cell cycle-associated transcriptome of the developing Drosophila wing epithelium and compare it with that of cultured Drosophila S2 cells, revealing a core set of periodic genes as well as a surprising degree of context-specificity in periodic transcription. We further employ RNAi-mediated phenotypic profiling to define functional requirements for over 300 periodic genes, with a focus on those required for cell proliferation in vivo. Finally, we investigate the role of novel genes required for interkinetic nuclear migration. Combined, these findings provide a global perspective on cell cycle control in vivo, and highlight a critical need to understand the context-specific regulation of cell proliferation. Two RNAi lines of CR32027, a non-coding RNA gene identified in this study, are examined for transcriptional changes relative to wt. Transcriptional profiles of two RNAi knockdowns, CR32027-IR1 and CR32027-IR2, are examined in Drosophila wing pouch relative to OreR wt in triplicate by RNA Seq.
