Characterization of expression changes in armi,rhino,aub,ago3 mutants by tiling array

ABSTRACT: We characterized changes of transposon and mRNA expressions in armi, rhino ,aub, ago3 mutants with respect to wild type using Affy tiling array. In most of these mutants, mRNA expressions were mostly unchanged but increased expressions was observed for many transposons indicating the role of these proteins in silencing transposons in Drosophila ovaries Keywords: Tiling array transcriptome profiling

Rhino-Q3450.S2

Project description:modENCODE_submission_4187 This submission comes from a modENCODE project of Gary Karpen. For full list of modENCODE projects, see http://www.genome.gov/26524648 Project Goal: We aim to determine the locations of 125 chromosomal proteins across the Drosophila melanogaster genome. The proteins under study are involved in basic chromosomal functions such as DNA replication, gene expression, gene silencing, and inheritance. We will perform Chromatin ImmunoPrecipitation (ChIP) using genomic tiling arrays. We will initially assay localizations using chromatin from three cell lines and two embryonic stages, and will then extend the analysis of a subset of proteins to four additional animal tissues/stages For data usage terms and conditions, please refer to http://www.genome.gov/27528022 and http://www.genome.gov/Pages/Research/ENCODE/ENCODEDataReleasePolicyFinal2008.pdf EXPERIMENT TYPE: CHIP-chip. BIOLOGICAL SOURCE: Cell Line: S2-DRSC; Tissue: embryo-derived cell-line; Developmental Stage: late embryonic stage; Sex: Male; NUMBER OF REPLICATES: 6; EXPERIMENTAL FACTORS: Cell Line S2-DRSC; Antibody Rhino-Q3450 (target is Rhino)

RNA helicase Spn-E is required to maintain Aub and AGO3 protein levels for piRNA silencing in the germline of Drosophila

Project description:Germline-specific RNA helicase Spindle-E (Spn-E) is known to be essential for piRNA silencing in Drosophila that takes place mainly in the perinuclear nuage granules. Loss-of-function spn-E mutations lead to tandem Stellate genes derepression in the testes and retrotransposon mobilization in the ovaries. However, Spn-E functions in the piRNA pathway are still obscure. Analysis of total library of short RNAs from the testes of spn-E heterozygous flies revealed the presence of abundant piRNA ping-pong pairs originating from Su(Ste) transcripts. The abundance of these ping-pong pairs were sharply reduced in the library from the testes of spn-E mutants. Thus we found that ping-pong mechanism contributed to Su(Ste) piRNA generation in the testes. The lack of Spn-E caused a significant drop of protein levels of key ping-pong participants, Aubergine (Aub) and AGO3 proteins of PIWI subfamily, in the germline of both males and females, but did not disrupt of their assembly in nuage granules. We found that observed decline of the protein expression was not caused by suppression of aub and ago3 transcription as well as total transcription, indicating possible contribution of Spn-E to post-transcriptional regulation.

the analysis of piRNA shows the function of Slicer activity of AGO3 in piRNA biogenesis.

Project description:Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) silence transposons in animal germ cells. In Drosophila, the reciprocal “Ping-Pong” cycle of piRNA-directed RNA cleavage, catalyzed by the PIWI proteins Aubergine (Aub) and Argonaute3 (AGO3) through their Slicer activity, is believed to expand the population of antisense piRNAs in response to transposon expression. Whether and how the Slicer activity of AGO3/Aub promotes the process of the secondary piRNA amplification remain unclear. Here we generated transgenic flies that could express AGO3 Slicer mutant forms to ellucidate the Slicer activity of AGO3.

Modulation of Aub–Tdrd interactions elucidates piRNA amplification and germ plasm formation

Project description:Aub protein guided by piRNAs ensures genome integrity by cleaving retrotransposons and genome propagation by trapping mRNAs to form the germ plasm that instructs germ cell formation. The amino terminus of Aub (Aub-NT) is rich in arginines (Aub-NTRs), which are symmetrically dimethylated (sDMAs), and interacts with Tudor protein and other Tudor domain containing proteins (Tdrds). Aub-Tdrd interactions play critical roles in suppressing active retrotransposons via piRNA amplification and in germ plasm formation via generation of Aub-Tudor ribonucleoproteins. Here we show that Aub-NTRs are dispensable for primary piRNA biogenesis but essential for piRNA amplification and transposon control and that sDMAs in Aub-NT are essential for germ plasm formation and germ cell specification, but largely dispensable for piRNA amplification and transposon control.

Distinct and collaborative functions of Yb and Armitage in transposon-targeting piRNA biogenesis

Project description:PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) repress transposons to maintain germline genome integrity. Previous studies showed that artificial tethering of Armitage (Armi) to reporter RNAs induced piRNA biogenesis. However, lack of female sterile (1) Yb (Yb) in Drosophila ovarian somatic cells (OSCs) impaired production of transposon-targeting piRNAs even in the presence of Armi. Here, we show that specific interaction of Armi with RNA transcripts of flamenco piRNA cluster, the primary source of transposon-targeting piRNAs in OSCs, is strictly regulated by Yb. Lack of Yb allowed Armi to bind RNAs promiscuously, leading to the production of piRNAs unrelated to transposon silencing. The ATP hydrolysis-defective mutants of Armi failed to unwind RNAs and were retained on them, abolishing piRNA production. These findings shed light on distinct and collaborative requirements of Yb and Armi in transposon-targeting piRNA biogenesis. We also provide evidence supporting the direct involvement of Armi but not Yb in Zucchini-dependent piRNA phasing.

Arginine methylation of Piwi proteins catalysed by dPRMT5 is required for Ago3 and Aub stability.

Project description:Piwi family proteins are essential for germline development and bind piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs). The grandchildless gene aub of Drosophila melanogaster encodes the piRNA-binding protein Aubergine (Aub), which is essential for formation of primordial germ cells (PGCs). Here we report that Piwi family proteins of mouse, Xenopus laevis and Drosophila contain symmetrical dimethylarginines (sDMAs). We found that Piwi proteins are expressed in Xenopus oocytes and we identified numerous Xenopus piRNAs. We report that the Drosophila homologue of protein methyltransferase 5 (dPRMT5, csul/dart5), which is also the product of a grandchildless gene, is required for arginine methylation of Drosophila Piwi, Ago3 and Aub proteins in vivo. Loss of dPRMT5 activity led to a reduction in the levels of piRNAs, Ago3 and Aub proteins, and accumulation of retrotransposons in the Drosophila ovary. Our studies explain the relationship between aub and dPRMT5 (csul/dart5) genes by demonstrating that dPRMT5 is the enzyme that methylates Aub. Our findings underscore the significance of sDMA modification of Piwi proteins in the germline and suggest an interacting pathway of genes that are required for piRNA function and PGC specification.

Slicing and Binding by Ago3 or Aub Trigger Piwi-Bound piRNA Production by Distinct Mechanisms.

Project description:In Drosophila ovarian germ cells, PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) direct Aubergine and Argonaute3 to cleave transposon transcripts and instruct Piwi to repress transposon transcription, thereby safeguarding the germline genome. Here, we report that RNA cleavage by Argonaute3 initiates production of most Piwi-bound piRNAs. We find that the cardinal function of Argonaute3, whose piRNA guides predominantly correspond to sense transposon sequences, is to produce antisense piRNAs that direct transcriptional silencing by Piwi, rather than to make piRNAs that guide post-transcriptional silencing by Aubergine. We also find that the Tudor domain protein Qin prevents Aubergine's cleavage products from becoming Piwi-bound piRNAs, ensuring that antisense piRNAs guide Piwi. Although Argonaute3 slicing is required to efficiently trigger phased piRNA production, an alternative, slicing-independent pathway suffices to generate Piwi-bound piRNAs that repress transcription of a subset of transposon families. This alternative pathway may help flies silence newly acquired transposons for which they lack extensively complementary piRNAs.

Transcriptomic analysis of wild-type, spn-E and aub mutant 0-2h- and 2-4h-embryos

Project description:We used microarrays to identify unstable mRNAs in wild-type embryos by comparing the transcriptomes derived from 0-2h- and 2-4h-embryos. We then analyzed which of these unstable mRNAs are stabilized in embryos from aub or spn-E mutant mothers (aub or spn-E mutant embryos) by comparing mutant and wild-type embryonic transcriptomes
