Transcriptomic analysis of tudor[1] mutant Drosophila brain and ovaries

ABSTRACT: In Drosophila, Tudor protein and its germline partners, Piwi proteins, are expressed in the brain. However, the potential significance of Tudor in neurobiology has not been explored. Here, we test a hypothesis that Tudor is an essential regulator of post-transcriptional gene expression in the brain where it controls levels of certain RNAs required for brain functions. Specifically, transcriptome of tudor mutant brains is compared with that of wild-type brains using next-generation sequencing (RNA-Seq). The hypothesis that Tudor regulates the same genes in both brain and germline is tested by comparing the transcriptomes from tudor mutant brains and ovaries. This research aims at providing innovative outcomes which may reveal exciting commonalities between the germline and brain and may contribute to our understanding of neurodegenerative disorders and the mechanisms of learning and memory.

piRNA analysis of tudor[1] mutant Drosophila brain and ovaries

Project description:23-29 nt Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are crucial components of the ribonucleoprotein complexes which silence the most abundant class of mobile genetic elements in human genome, retrotransposons, in germline (germ) cells. In these cells, antisense piRNAs serve as RNA guides for Piwi proteins, base pairing with transposon RNAs which are subsequently cleaved by Piwi proteins. Germ cells belong to special class of stem cells which ultimately give rise to eggs and sperm and therefore, to next generations. Therefore, piRNAs protect next-generation genomes from devastating mutations caused by transposon insertions. Although, role of piRNAs in germ cells has been studied, functions of piRNAs and their associated proteins in somatic cells are not well understood. Importantly, Piwi proteins are expressed in the fruit fly Drosophila brain and are required for the silencing of transposable elements there, clearly indicating that Piwi-associated piRNAs are involved in this process in the brain. Furthermore, piRNAs have been implicated in the memory formation mechanisms in Aplysia brain. In addition to Piwi proteins, their associated partner, molecular scaffold Tudor protein, participates in piRNA biogenesis in germ cells and it is absolutely required for germline development. However, although tudor gene is expressed in the fly brain, its role in the central nervous system is not understood. In this study, we look at the role of Tudor as an essential player in piRNA biogenesis in Drosophila brain.

Novel piRNA Pathway Components Identified Among the Class of TUDOR Domain Containing Proteins

Project description:PIWI proteins and their bound piRNAs form the core of a gonad specific small RNA silencing pathway in animals that protects the genome against the deleterious activity of transposable elements. Recent studies linked the piRNA pathway to TUDOR biology, where TUDOR domains of various proteins recognize and bind symmetrically methylated Arginine residues in PIWI proteins. We systematically analyzed the Drosophila TUDOR protein family and identified three previously not characterized TUDOR domain-containing genes (CG4771, CG14303 and CG11133) as essential piRNA pathway members. We characterized CG4771 (Avocado) in detail and demonstrate a critical role for this protein during primary piRNA biogenesis in somatic and germline cells of the ovary. Avocado physically and/or genetically interacts with the primary pathway components Piwi, Armitage, Yb and Zucchini. Avocado also interacts with the Tdrd12 orthologs CG11133 and CG31755, which are essential for primary piRNA biogenesis in the germline and probably functionally replace the related and soma specific factor Yb. small RNA libraries were prepared from total RNA isolation of 8 different genotypes

Role of the Tudor-knot domain of the TIP60 lysine acetyltransferase [RNA-seq]

Project description:The histone lysine acetyltransferase TIP60 is the main enzyme that catalyzes histone H4 acetylation in cells. Domains on TIP60 regulate its enzymatic activity from different aspects. Here we use a CRISPR-Cas9 tiling screen to scan for essential domains on TIP60 protein and found that the Tudor-knot domain is essential for cell survival and intercellular H4 acetylation. We performed in-vitro biochemical assays and demonstrated Tudor-knot domain is not a histone reader. And deficiency of the Tudor-knot domain has mild effects on TIP60 intracellular localization, as well as the TIP60 complex’s constitution. But Tudor-knot deficiency significantly reduces TIP60 HAT activity both in vivo and in vitro. By comparing the catalytic efficiency of nucleosome substrate and histone octamer substrate, as well as TIP60 protein alone or TIP60 complex, we found the nucleosomal structure and other TIP60 complex components are required for Tudor-knot relative HAT activity regulation. We propose that the Tudor-knot domain function to increase nucleosome accessibility. Finally, we show that the Tudor-knot domain is required for TIP60-dependent transcription regulation. Altogether, our study reveals a mechanism that the Tudor-knot domain that regulates TIP60-dependent transcription through the regulation of TIP60 substrate catalytic efficiency.

Tudor domain containing protein 5-like(Tdrd5l) identifies a novel germline body and regulates maternal RNAs during oogenesis

Project description:In this study we show that Drosophila Tudor-domain containing protein 5-like (Tdrd5l) is important for post-transcriptional regulation of maternal mRNAs. Tdrd5l localizes to a novel of body in the germline and interacts with post-transcriptional regulation pathways. In mutant females we observe accumulation of Gurken and its activator Orb in nurse cells during oogenesis. Decreased orb function suppresses the Tdrd5l-mutant phenotype, indicating that this is a primary defect in these mutants.
