Project description:We used the DamID method to systematically identify the binding sites of Ecdysone Receptor and its heterodimeric partner USP across the whole genome in Drosophila Kc cells. We find that the EcR sites are a subset of the USP sites and that only a proportion are ecdysone regulated from an accompanying ecdysone profiling study. The role of EcR/USP in the ecdysone network appears to be coordinated by the recruitment of many transcription factors as well as signaling molecules. Keywords: DamID, chromatin profiling, DNA microarray

Keywords: DamID, chromatin profiling, DNA microarray In this study we mapped the genomic binding sites of steroid hormone nuclear receptor EcR and USP in Kc167 cells using the DamID method. DamID involves the low level expression of a fusion protein consisting of DNA adenine methyltransferase (Dam) and a chromatin protein of interest. This fusion protein is targeted to the native binding sites of the chromatin protein, where Dam methylates adenines in the surrounding DNA. The methylated DNA fragments were isolated and amplified by selective PCR, labeled with a fluorescent dye and hybridized to whole genome tiling microarrays. In this study,experiments were done with samples obtained from independent experiments and include dye swaps.

Project description:modENCODE_submission_4114 This submission comes from a modENCODE project of Kevin White. For full list of modENCODE projects, see http://www.genome.gov/26524648 Project Goal: The White Lab is aiming to map the association of all the Transcription Factors (TF) on the genome of Drosophila melanogaster. One technique that we use for this purpose is chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with deep sequencing (ChIP-seq) utilizing an Illumina next generation sequencing platform. The data generated by ChIP-seq experiments consist basically of a plot of signal intensity across the genome. The highest signals correspond to positions in the genome occupied by the tested TF.

Project description:In Drosophila, the ecdysone steroid hormone is essential for coordinating developmental timing across physically separated tissues. Ecdysone directly impacts genome function through its receptor, a heterodimer of the EcR and Usp proteins. Ligand binding to EcR triggers a transcriptional cascade, including activation of a set of primary response transcription factors. The hierarchical organization of this pathway has left the direct role of EcR in mediating ecdysone responses obscured. Here, we investigate the role of EcR in controlling tissue-specific ecdysone responses, focusing on two tissues that diverge in their response to rising ecdysone titers: the larval salivary gland, which undergoes programmed destruction, and the wing imaginal disc, which initiates metamorphosis. We find that EcR functions bimodally, with both gene repressive and activating functions, even at the same developmental stage. We find that EcR DNA binding profiles are highly tissue-specific, and transgenic reporter analyses demonstrate that EcR plays a direct role in controlling enhancer activity. Despite a strong correlation between tissue-specific EcR binding and tissue-specific open chromatin, we find that EcR does not control chromatin accessibility at genomic targets. We conclude that EcR contributes extensively to tissue-specific ecdysone responses. However, control over access to its binding sites is subordinated to other transcription factors.

Project description:Methoxyfenozide (RH-2485) represents the group of non-steroidal ecdysteroid agonists with a dibenzoylhydrazine structure, that are used as novel biorational insecticides in the control of insect pests. Here we report on the selection of Drosophila melanogaster S2 cells for resistance to inhibition of cell proliferation by methoxyfenozide by ~1000-fold over 4 months. Cells were exposed to gradually increasing concentrations of methoxyfenozide and selected out based on the ecdysteroid-sensitive response for cell proliferation. In the resistant cells, the ecdysteroid receptor (EcR/USP) complex was no longer active in the presence of methoxyfenozide. But when resistant cells were relaxed from pressure in methoxyfenozide-free medium, induction of the reporter construct was observed. In parallel, EcR/USP functionality was also restored when resistant cells were rescued by a Drosophila EcR plasmid. However, it was striking that in the resistant cells the ecdysteroid-sensitive response for cell proliferation was not restored upon methoxyfenozide withdrawal, indicating permanent changes in the physiology of the cells during selection. To investigate changes in gene expression caused by inactivation of the EcR/USP complex in resistant cells, Drosophila oligo 14kv1 microarrays were used and probed with cDNAs from resistant cells in the presence and absence of ecdysone agonist on one hand and from unselected sensitive cells on the other hand. A selection of 324 differentially expressed genes was assigned covering diverse functions as transport, enzyme activity, cytoskeleton organization, cell cycle machinery, transcription/translation and ecdysteroid signaling. Besides the identification of (primary and secondary) target genes of the EcR/USP signaling pathway, this analysis is also predicted to gain insights into the mechanism of resistance and the crosstalk between ecdysteroid signaling and cell proliferation-linked processes.

Project description:Juvenile hormone (JH) antagonizes 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) signaling mainly through the intracellular receptors Met and Gce in Drosophila. To investigate JH membrane signaling pathway without the interference from JH intracellular signaling, we characterized phosphoproteome profiles of the Met gce double mutant in the absence or presence of JH in both chronic and acute phases. Importantly, JH was identified to phosphorylate USP at Ser35, the PKC phosphorylation site required for the maximal action of 20E through its nuclear receptor complex EcR-USP. Functioning through a potential receptor tyrosine kinase and phospholipase C pathway, JH membrane signaling activated PKC to phosphorylate USP at Ser35. The USPS35A mutant, in which Ser35 was replaced with Ala35 by genome editing, showed attenuated 20E signaling and Yorkie activity, resulting in delayed developmental timing and reduced body size, respectively. Moreover, genetic interaction experiments confirmed that JH lied upstream of PKC-mediated USP phosphorylation at Ser35. This study propose a novel model of JH membrane signaling that exhibits crosstalk with different pathways simultaneously to regulate distinct developmental processes.
