Project description:To adapt RNA polymerase DamID (RAPID) for FLP-mediated spatial control in Caenorhabditis elegans, we inserted a Dam::rpb-6 fusion gene downstream of a FRT-flanked mCh::his-58 cassette and under control of the hsp-16.41 promoter. We introduced a single copy of this construct into the C. elegans genome and crossed the resulting line with a dpy-7p::FLP driver to enable basal Dam::rpb-6 expression in the hypodermis. Nematodes were cultured at 20 degrees Celcius to ensure low levels of Dam::RPB-6 expression in the hypodermis and total genomic DNA was purified from L4 larvae. DNA from animals expressing GFP::Dam was used to control for unspecific methylation. The genome-wide association profile of Dam::RPB-6 was determined by deep sequencing, which revealed a list of 2331 protein coding genes with FDR < 0.05.

Project description:The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans exhibits rapid senescence that is promoted by the insulin/IGF-1 signaling (IIS) pathway via regulated processes that are poorly understood. IIS also promotes production of yolk for egg provisioning, which in post-reproductive animals continues, supported by destructive repurposing of intestinal biomass that contributes to senescence. Post-reproductive mothers vent this yolk which can be consumed by larvae and promotes their growth. This implies that later yolk production is not futile; instead vented yolk functions similarly to milk. Moreover, yolk venting is promoted by IIS. That this process is promoted by IIS provides new insights into how and why IIS shortens lifespan in C. elegans. Fully-fed d4 hermaphrodites were allowed to vent for 30 min, and vented proteins analysed against excretory/secretory products collected for L3 larvae as a negative control.

Project description:Poly(A) tails are important elements in mRNA translation and stability. However, recent genome-wide studies concluded that poly(A) tail length was generally not associated with translational efficiency in non-embryonic cells. To investigate if poly(A) tail size might be coupled to gene expression in an intact organism, we used an adapted TAIL-seq protocol to measure poly(A) tails in Caenorhabditis elegans. Surprisingly, we found that well-expressed transcripts contain relatively short, well-defined tails. This attribute appears dependent on translational efficiency, as transcripts enriched for optimal codons and ribosome association had the shortest tail sizes, while non-coding RNAs retained long tails.

Project description:This experiment investigates the transcriptional effect of age in the N2 strain of Caenorhabditis elegans during the L4 stage. The goal is to identify genes that show dynamic gene-expression patterns over time. We grew N2 populations over the course of 44 to 58 hours at 20 degrees Celsius, independent populations were harvested in hourly intervals. Thereafter RNA was isolated, labelled and hybridized on microarray. The gene expression profiles were analyzed for dynamic expression patterns using principal component analysis and k-means clustering.

Project description:In order to evaluate the identification of genes and pathways, the global gene expression profiles were assessed in response to multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) on the soil nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans. We performed whole genome DNA microarray experiments with subsequent quantitative analysis conducted on selected genes.

Project description:In order to evaluate the identification of genes and pathways, the global gene expression profiles were assessed in response to multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) on the soil nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans. We performed whole genome DNA microarray experiments with subsequent quantitative analysis conducted on selected genes. We used synchronized C. elegans populations exposed to MWCNT for 4 and 24h, and whole genome microarrays to screen for global changes in C. elegans transcription profiles. Young adults of C.elegans were selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:To adapt SLAM-ITseq for Caenorhabditis elegans, we inserted a codon-optimized version of the Toxoplasma gondii UPRT gene downstream of a FRT-flanked mCh::his-58 cassette and under control of the strong and ubiquitous eft-3 promoter. We introduced a single copy of this construct into the C. elegans genome and crossed the resulting line with a dpy-7p::FLP driver. FLP-dependent expression of UPRT was confirmed by Western blotting (strain BN1190). As a proof of concept, we exposed animals to 4-TU from L3 to L4 stage and purified total RNA. RNA from animals without FLP expression was used to control for UPRT-independent labeling strain BN1158). RNA was alkylated with iodoacetamide, which leads to a T>C conversion of 4-TU-labeled positions during cDNA synthesis, and subjected to deep sequencing (see Materials and Methods). We confirmed that the presence of FLP and UPRT did not affect gene expression. Comparing the T>C conversion rate per gene revealed a significant increase in nematodes expressing UPRT in the hypodermis. Next, we performed a beta-binominal test to identify genes that were significantly labelled across all replicas, which retrieved 197 genes (p<0.003; FDR<0.1 after adjustment for multiple comparisons).
