A global timing mechanism regulates cell-type specific wiring programs

ABSTRACT: The assembly of neural circuits is dependent upon precise spatiotemporal expression of cell recognition molecules1–6. Factors controlling cell-type specificity have been identified7–9, but how timing is determined remains unknown. Here we describe the induction of a cascade of transcription factors by a steroid hormone (Ecdysone) in all fly visual system neurons spanning target recognition and synaptogenesis. We demonstrate through single cell sequencing that the Ecdysone pathway regulates the expression of a common set of targets required for synaptic maturation and cell-type specific targets enriched for cell surface proteins regulating wiring specificity. Transcription factors in the cascade regulate the expression of the same wiring genes in complex ways, including activation in one cell-type and repression in another. We show that disruption of the Ecdysone-pathway generates specific defects in dendritic and axonal processes and synaptic connectivity, with the order of transcription factor expression correlating with sequential steps in wiring. We also identify shared targets of a cell-type specific transcription factor and the Ecdysone pathway which regulate specificity. We propose neurons integrate a global temporal transcriptional module with cell-type specific transcription factors to generate different cell-type specific patterns of cell recognition molecules regulating wiring.

Transcription Factor Acj6 Specifies Distinct Dendrite Targets via Unique Cell-Surface Protein Combinations

Project description:Xie Q, Li J1, Li H, Udeshi ND, Svinkina T, Kohani S, Guajardo R, Mani DR, Xu C, Li T, Han S, Wei W, Shuster SA, Luginbuhl DJ, Ting AY, Carr SA, Luo L. 2022. Transcription factors specify the fate and connectivity of developing neurons. To understand how distal neurites execute commands from these nucleus-residing factors to specify their connectivity, we investigated how a lineage-specific transcription factor, Acj6, controls the precise dendrite targeting of Drosophila olfactory projection neurons (PNs). Quantitative cell-surface proteomic profiling of wild-type and acj6 mutant PNs in intact developing brains and a proteome-informed genetic screen identified PN surface proteins that execute Acj6-regulated wiring decisions. These include canonical cell adhesion molecules and molecules previously not associated with wiring, such as the mechanosensitive ion channel Piezo. Ion channel activity is dispensable for Piezo's function in PN dendrite targeting. Combinatorial expression of Acj6 executors more strongly rescued specific acj6 mutant phenotypes than expression of individual executors. Together, our findings reveal that a key transcription factor controls wiring specificity of different neuron types by regulating expression of unique combinations of cell-surface executors.

Hormone-dependent control of developmental timing through regulation of chromatin accessibility

Project description:We identify a temporal cascade of ecdysone-inducible transcription factor gene expression during Drosophila wing development. This temporal cascade corresponds with dynamic changes in chromatin accesibility during wing development. We hypothesized that these temporally regulated transcription factors may coordinate these dynamic open chromatin changes. To test this, we investigate the ecdysone-inducible transcription factor, E93, which we determine is required for coordinating transitions in developmental stage by regulating chromatin accesibility of cis-regulatory elements.

Transcription Factor Acj6 Controls Dendrite Targeting via Combinatorial Cell-Surface Codes

Project description:Transcription factors specify the fate and connectivity of developing neurons. We investigate how a lineage-specific transcription factor, Acj6, controls the precise dendrite targeting of Drosophila olfactory projection neurons (PNs) by regulating the expression of cell-surface proteins. Quantitative cell-surface proteomic profiling of wild-type and acj6 mutant PNs in intact developing brains and a proteome-informed genetic screen identified PN surface proteins that execute Acj6-regulated wiring decisions. These include canonical cell adhesion molecules and proteins previously not associated with wiring, such as Piezo, whose mechanosensitive ion channel activity is dispensable for its function in PN dendrite targeting. Comprehensive genetic analyses revealed that Acj6 employs unique sets of cell-surface proteins in different PN types for dendrite targeting. Combinatorial expression of Acj6 wiring executors rescued acj6 mutant phenotypes with higher efficacy and breadth than expression of individual executors. Thus, Acj6 controls wiring specificity of different neuron types by specifying distinct combinatorial expression of cell-surface executors.

Reconstructing divergent retinoid-induced cell fate-regulatory programs in stem cells [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:We have integrated dynamic RXRa binding, chromatin accessibility and promoter epigenetic status with the transcriptional activity inferred from RNA polymerase II mapping and transcription profiling. This demonstrated a temporal organization structure, in which early events are preferentially enriched for common GRNs, while cell fate specification is reflected by the activation of late programs in a cell-type specific manner. Furthermore, significant differences in cell lines' promoter status of genes associated with cell-line specific programs were inferred. Finally, a variety of transcription factors (TFs) playing a direct role in the signal transduction cascade downstream of the RXR/RAR initiated wiring were identified, several of them commonly regulated in both model systems, but in addition cell-type specific TF drivers were also identified.

Opportunistic binding of EcR to open chromatin drives tissue-specific developmental responses [RNA-seq]

Project description:In Drosophila, the ecdysone steroid hormone is essential for coordinating developmental timing across physically separated tissues. Ecdysone directly impacts genome function through its receptor, a heterodimer of the EcR and Usp proteins. Ligand binding to EcR triggers a transcriptional cascade, including activation of a set of primary response transcription factors. The hierarchical organization of this pathway has left the direct role of EcR in mediating ecdysone responses obscured. Here, we investigate the role of EcR in controlling tissue-specific ecdysone responses, focusing on two tissues that diverge in their response to rising ecdysone titers: the larval salivary gland, which undergoes programmed destruction, and the wing imaginal disc, which initiates metamorphosis. We find that EcR functions bimodally, with both gene repressive and activating functions, even at the same developmental stage. We find that EcR DNA binding profiles are highly tissue-specific, and transgenic reporter analyses demonstrate that EcR plays a direct role in controlling enhancer activity. Despite a strong correlation between tissue-specific EcR binding and tissue-specific open chromatin, we find that EcR does not control chromatin accessibility at genomic targets. We conclude that EcR contributes extensively to tissue-specific ecdysone responses. However, control over access to its binding sites is subordinated to other transcription factors.
