Specialized piRNA pathways act in germline and somatic tissues of the Drosophila ovary

ABSTRACT: Here, we analyzed nine Drosophila piRNA pathway mutants for their impacts on both small RNA populations and the sub-cellular localization patterns of Piwi proteins. We find that distinct piRNA pathways with differing components function in ovarian germ and somatic cells. Keywords: Epigenetics

Specialized piRNA pathways act in germline and somatic tissues of the Drosophila ovary.

Project description:In Drosophila gonads, Piwi proteins and associated piRNAs collaborate with additional factors to form a small RNA-based immune system that silences mobile elements. Here, we analyzed nine Drosophila piRNA pathway mutants for their impacts on both small RNA populations and the subcellular localization patterns of Piwi proteins. We find that distinct piRNA pathways with differing components function in ovarian germ and somatic cells. In the soma, Piwi acts singularly with the conserved flamenco piRNA cluster to enforce silencing of retroviral elements that may propagate by infecting neighboring germ cells. In the germline, silencing programs encoded within piRNA clusters are optimized via a slicer-dependent amplification loop to suppress a broad spectrum of elements. The classes of transposons targeted by germline and somatic piRNA clusters, though not the precise elements, are conserved among Drosophilids, demonstrating that the architecture of piRNA clusters has coevolved with the transposons that they are tasked to control.

Vreteno, a gonad-specific protein, is essential for germline development and primary piRNA biogenesis in Drosophila.

Project description:Here, we analyzed small RNA libraries derived from ovarian tissues heterozygous or mutant for the Tudor gene, Vreteno. In the absence of vret, Piwi-bound piRNAs are lost without changes in piRNA precursor transcript production, supporting a role for Vret in primary piRNA biogenesis. In the germline, piRNAs can engage in an Aub/Argonaute 3 (AGO3)-dependent amplification in the absence of Vret, suggesting that Vret function can distinguish between primary piRNAs loaded into Piwi/Aub complexes and piRNAs engaged in the amplification cycle. We propose that Vret acts at an early step in primary piRNA processing where it plays an essential role in transposon regulation. Keyword : Epigenetics 2 libraries were analyzed, with 1 being a control (heterozygote).

A transcriptome-wide RNAi screen in the Drosophila ovary reveals factors of the germline piRNA pathway [smallRNA-Seq]

Project description:The Drosophila piRNA pathway provides an RNA-based immune system that defends the germline genome against selfish genetic elements. Two inter-related branches of the piRNA system exist: somatic cells that support oogenesis only employ Piwi, whereas germ cells utilize a more elaborated pathway centered on the three gonad-specific Argonaute proteins Piwi, Aubergine, and Argonaute3. While several key factors of each branch have been identified, our current knowledge is insufficient to explain the complex workings of the piRNA machinery. Here, we report a reverse genetic screen spanning the ovarian transcriptome in an attempt to uncover the full repertoire of genes required for piRNA-mediated transposon silencing in the female germline. Our screen reveals new key factors of piRNA-mediated transposon silencing, including the novel piRNA biogenesis factors, CG2183 (GASZ) and Deadlock. Last, our data uncovers a previously unanticipated set of factors preferentially required for repression of different transposons types. Examination of small RNA levels from nos-GAL4 or tj-GAL4 driven UAS-dsRNA knockdowns of control genes and piRNA pathway components in ovaries of Drosophila melanogaster by deep sequencing (using Illumina HiSeq2000).

Somatic piRNA pathway prevents transgenerational germline transposition [smallRNA-seq]

Project description:Transposable elements (TEs) are genomic parasite that threat genome integrity. One major strategy organisms evolved to balance TE activity in the germline is the Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) pathway. It prevents transposition by repressing TE at transcriptional and/or post-transcriptional level. However, evidence that TE derepression caused by piRNA pathway impairment is actually followed by bursts of transposition is still lacking. Here we present a genome-wide TE-analyses of the replicative TE life cycle (their expression, their translation to their transposition in the germline) after piRNA pathway impairment in the somatic follicle cells. We observed a high transposition-rate in the germline, leading to a 10-fold increase in genomic TE-load after 70 successive generations of piRNA pathway impairment. Moreover, we demonstrate that siRNAs co-regulate TE activity at post transcriptional level in follicle cells. These observations demonstrate that the small RNA-mediated TE repression in follicle cells contribute to genome homeostasis.
