Project description:We report the proteome composition of the Drosophila eye – a compound organ that is highly enriched in membrane proteins. The fly eye is a popular model to study the physiology of vision by means of genetic, pharmacological, and dietary interference.While the eye transcriptome and development-related changes of gene expression profiles have been extensively studied, little is known about the eye proteome.we employed GeLC-MS/MS to identify and rank the abundances of 3516 eye proteins. Moreover, we applied our MS Western method to determine the absolute (molar) abundances of a related set of proteins that are important for photoreceptor structure (including maintenance) and function (phototransduction). Altogether, we provide a comprehensive and expandable proteomics resource that will be valuable for a variety of studies of ocular biochemistry, physiology, and development.

Project description:Wild-type Drosophila melanogaster expressing nuclear GFP-KASH fusion protein in photoreceptors for cell type-specific gene expression profiling (Rh1-Gal4>UAS-GFPKASH ; Genotype = w1118;; P{w+mC=[UAS-GFP-Msp300KASH}attP2, P{ry+t7.2=rh1-GAL4}3, ry506) were raised in 12:12h light:dark cycle at 25°C. Flies were aged for 10 or 40 days post-eclosion, and eyes were harvested from male flies for global quantitative proteomic analysis. Significantly changed proteins were identified that may contribute to age-associated retinal degeneration and loss of visual function in the aging Drosophila eye.

Project description:During oxidative stress, reactive oxygen species (ROS) can modify and damage cellular proteins. In particular, the thiol groups of cysteine residues can undergo reversible or irreversible oxidative post-translation modifications (PTMs). Identifying the redox-sensitive cysteines on a proteome-wide scale can provide insight into those proteins that act as redox sensors or become irreversibly damaged upon exposure to high levels of ROS. Aging is accompanied by oxidative stress, and oxygen-rich tissues such as the eye are particularly vulnerable because of its high energy demand and generation of ROS byproducts, which increases the risk for ocular disease. In this study, we profiled the redox proteome of the aging Drosophila eye to identify cysteine residues that are modified by age-associated ROS.

Project description:Drosophila imaginal disc cells exhibit a remarkable ability to switch cell fates under various perturbations, a phenomenon known as transdetermination (TD). The winged eye (wge) gene induces eye-to-wing TD by its overexpression in eye imaginal discs using eye specific Gal4 driver (eyeless-Gal4). Gene network controlling this process, however, is largely unclear. Additionally, we identified that heterochromatin-related histone methyltransferase Su(var)3-9 is essential for wge-mediated TD. We used microarray to detail the global gene network underlying wge-mediated eye-to-wing TD, and the involvement of Su(var)3-9 in the gene network.

Project description:The spliceosome is a dynamic RNA-protein complex that executes pre-mRNA splicing and is composed of five core small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles (U1, U2, U4/5/6 snRNP) and >150 additional proteins specific for each snRNP. We report a circadian role for Pre-mRNA Processing factor 4 (PRP4), a conserved component of the spliceosomal U4/U6.U5 triple small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (tri-snRNP) complex. We broadly hypothesized that downregulation of prp4 led to the aberrant splicing of one or many of the core clock transcripts. To identify these splicing events in an unbiased way, we performed RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq) analysis. We reasoned that we could have a more targeted approach if we could zoom in on the overlapping splicing changes that would be driven by the knockdown of at least two different tri-snRNP components. Because the pan-neuronal knockdown of all tri-snRNP components tested in our study led to lethality, we decided to utilize an alternative broad driver. For that purpose, we selected a strong eye-specific Glass Multiple Promoter driver (GMR-Gal4). Because most of the signal from head lysates comes directly from the eye tissue and because the core splicing factors are ubiquitously expressed, GMR-specific downregulation of prp4 and prp8 promised to be a viable alternative to the pan-neuronal knockdown. We examined changes in both the total transcript levels and splicing events upon prp4 knockdown in the eye. The overall gene expression seemed to be dramatically influenced by prp4 downregulation (433 DOWN, 310 UP at FDR < 0.05). Despite the fact that PRP4 is a component of the core spliceosome that is required for constitutive exon splicing, we did not detect dramatic effects on global splicing. Only 45 genes exhibited differential alternate splicing upon prp4 downregulation at FDR < 0.05).

Project description:Nocte is an RNA binding protein but its functions in Drosophila eye development is unknown. We found that knockdown of nocte by RNAi in Drosophila eyes leads to small and rough eye phenotypes. We detected nocte's functions at mRNA levels by doing RNA-seq with purified polyA mRNA. We detected nocte's functions in mRNA translation by doing Ribo-seq and total RNA-seq to calculate the translation efficiencies.

Project description:PSC overexpression can cause phenotypes specifically in an rbf1 mutant background, likely due to a sensitization to PSC-induced phenotypes. The goal of this study is to understand the interaction between rbf1 hypomorphic mutation and the overexpression of Polycomb group gene Posterior sex combs. We used Drosophila larval eye imaginal discs that were mutant for rbf1 or overexpressing PSC and compared these to control larval eye discs to assess changes in gene expression. We identified a common set of genes that are deregulated when rbf1 is mutated or when PSC is overexpressed. RNA was extracted from eye imaginal discs dissected from third instar Drosophila larvae. Samples were amplified and hybridized to Affymetrix Drosophila Genome 2.0 Array. To better understand the effects of rbf1 mutation and PSC overexpression, we compared the gene expression of rbf1 mutant eye discs and eye discs overexpressing PSC to control eye discs.
