Using Auxin-inducible-degradation System to Interrogate Tissue-specific Transcriptional Programs of HSF-1 in Reproduction and Heat Shock Response. [Germline - Timecourse]

ABSTRACT: To understand the roles of HSF-1 and its regulation in reproduction and heat shock response in a tissue-specific manner, we coupled tissue-specific HSF-1 depletion in C. elegans by auxin-inducible degron (AID) with genome-wide transcriptional analyses in whole animals. We used ChIP-seq to analyze the occupancy of HSF-1 (tagged with AID::GFP) and RNA Pol II in young adult (YA) animals grown at 20°C or upon heat shock (HS) at 34°C for 30 min following an acute depletion of HSF-1 by AID for 2 hours either in the somatic or in the germline cells. Depletion by AID was performed by transferring worms expressing the E3 ligase TIR1 and carrying AID insertion to endogenous HSF-1 (JTL611 or JTL621) to NGM plates containing 1mM auxin (indole- 3-acetic acid, Sigma). The mock treatment was done by transferring worms to plates only containing the vehicle ethanol (EtOH). In parallel, we used RNA-seq to analyze the heat shock respnse upon depletion of HSF-1 in the soma or the germline for 2 hours. In addition, we also analyzed the transcriptomic changes by RNA-seq upon tissue-specific depletion of HSF-1 initiated at young adult stage for different length of time. In all RNA-seq analyses, we included the strains that only express TIR1 but do not have degron insertion at HSF-1 (CA1200 and CA1199) to control for the effects of auxin treatment and AID insertion into HSF-1.

Project description:Proctor2005 - Actions of chaperones and their role in ageing This model is described in the article: Modelling the actions of chaperones and their role in ageing. Proctor CJ, Soti C, Boys RJ, Gillespie CS, Shanley DP, Wilkinson DJ, Kirkwood TB. Mech. Ageing Dev. 2005 Jan; 126(1): 119-131 Abstract: Many molecular chaperones are also known as heat shock proteins because they are synthesised in increased amounts after brief exposure of cells to elevated temperatures. They have many cellular functions and are involved in the folding of nascent proteins, the re-folding of denatured proteins, the prevention of protein aggregation, and assisting the targeting of proteins for degradation by the proteasome and lysosomes. They also have a role in apoptosis and are involved in modulating signals for immune and inflammatory responses. Stress-induced transcription of heat shock proteins requires the activation of heat shock factor (HSF). Under normal conditions, HSF is bound to heat shock proteins resulting in feedback repression. During stress, cellular proteins undergo denaturation and sequester heat shock proteins bound to HSF, which is then able to become transcriptionally active. The induction of heat shock proteins is impaired with age and there is also a decline in chaperone function. Aberrant/damaged proteins accumulate with age and are implicated in several important age-related conditions (e.g. Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and cataract). Therefore, the balance between damaged proteins and available free chaperones may be greatly disturbed during ageing. We have developed a mathematical model to describe the heat shock system. The aim of the model is two-fold: to explore the heat shock system and its implications in ageing; and to demonstrate how to build a model of a biological system using our simulation system (biology of ageing e-science integration and simulation (BASIS)).
