Genetic and Genomic Analyses of Drosophila melanogaster Models of Chromatin Modification Disorders

ABSTRACT: Switch/Sucrose Non-Fermentable (SWI/SNF)-related intellectual disability disorders (SSRIDDs) and Cornelia de Lange syndrome are rare syndromic neurodevelopmental disorders with overlapping clinical phenotypes. SSRIDDs are associated with the BAF (Brahma‐Related Gene‐1 Associated Factor) complex, whereas CdLS is a disorder of chromatin modification associated with the cohesin complex. Here, we used RNA interference in Drosophila melanogaster to reduce expression of six genes (brm, osa, Snr1, SMC1, SMC3, vtd) orthologous to human genes associated with SSRIDDs and CdLS. These fly models exhibit changes in sleep, activity, startle behavior (a proxy for sensorimotor integration) and brain morphology. Whole genome RNA sequencing identified 9,657 differentially expressed genes (FDR < 0.05), 156 of which are differentially expressed in both sexes in SSRIDD- and CdLS-specific analyses, including Bap60, which is orthologous to SMARCD1, a SSRIDD-associated BAF component. k-means clustering reveals genes co-regulated within and across SSRIDD and CdLS fly models. RNAi-mediated reduction of expression of six genes co-regulated with focal genes brm, osa, and/or Snr1 recapitulated changes in behavior of the focal genes. Based on the assumption that fundamental biological processes are evolutionarily conserved, Drosophila models can be used to understand underlying molecular effects of variants in chromatin-modification pathways and may aid in discovery of drugs that ameliorate deleterious phenotypic effects.

The study of dpf2 in mouse ES cells

Project description:Brg-or Brm-associated factor (BAF) complexes, is a 12 subunit complex which contains an ATPase subunit, Brg or Brm, that uses energy derived from ATP hydrolysis to disrupt histone:DNA contacts to catalyze transcriptional events such as promoting gene expression or repression. Genetic studies in mice demonstrated that BAF complexes are essential for early embryonic development and pluripotency. ES cells express distinctive compleses, termed esBAF complexes by the presence of BAF155, Brg, BAF60a. Purification of Brg and Brm-associated proteins reveals a new family of four stoichiometric subunits of mSWI/SNF or BAF complexes which was termed BAF45a, b, c, and d. The progenitors to both neurons and glia are maintained in a proliferative state by a specified SWI/SNF-like npBAF complex that contains both BAF45a and BAF53a. The transition from proliferative to neurogenic divisions requires the exchange of these subunites for the homologous BAF45b or BAF45c and BAF53b proteins. The function of BAF45d remwains unclear so far.At present, we found that the knockout of dpf2 in ES cells impared the differention of ES cells. We will identify the target genes of dpf2 by Chip-seq so that we could study how dpf2 affect the differentiation of ES cells into germ layers.Protocol: DNA was prepared from ES cells by standard ChIP method.

Chromatin Remodeling Complex Dosage Modulates Transcription Factor Function in Heart Development

Project description:Dominant mutations in cardiac transcription factor genes cause human inherited congenital heart defects (CHDs), but their molecular basis is not understood. Transcription factors and Brg1/Brm-associated factor (BAF) chromatin remodeling complex interactions suggest potential mechanisms, but the role of BAF complexes in cardiogenesis is not known. Here we show that dosage of Brg1 is critical for mouse and zebrafish cardiogenesis. Disrupting the balance between Brg1 and disease-causing cardiac transcription factors, including Tbx5, Tbx20, and Nkx2-5, causes severe cardiac anomalies, revealing an essential allelic balance between Brg1 and these cardiac transcription factor genes. This suggests that relative levels of transcription factors and BAF complexes are important for heart development, which is supported by reduced occupancy of Brg1 at cardiac genes in Tbx5 haploinsufficient hearts. Our results reveal complex dosage-sensitive interdependence between transcription factors and BAF complexes, providing a potential mechanism underlying transcription factor haploinsufficiency, with implications for multigenic inheritance of CHDs. We performed transcriptional profiling of E11.5 hearts from mice heterozygous for deletions of Brg1, Tbx5, or Nkx2-5, and mice that were compound heterozygotes for Brg1 and each transcription factor gene (Tbx5 and Nkx2-5).

SWI/SNF-dependent genes are defined by their chromatin landscape [ChRNA-seq]

Project description:The SWI/SNF complex was the first chromatin remodeling machinery discovered. Although it has been extensively investigated, numerous aspects of its regulation and activity are still poorly understood, especially in higher eukaryotes. In mammals, there is not a single SWI/SNF complex (also called BRM or BRG1 associated factors, BAF, complex) but rather a polymorphic family of complexes, with three main subtypes called canonical BAF (cBAF), polybromo-associated BAF (PBAF), and non-canonical BAF (ncBAF), with relatively different specificities. The enzymatic motors of the complexes are two mutually exclusive ATPases of the SNF2 family called BRAHMA (BRM, also called SMARCA2) and BRAHMA RELATED GENE 1 (BRG1, also called SMARCA4). Recently, an specific inhibitor of BRM and BRG1 ATPase activity, called BRM014, has been developed. We have extensively investigated the effect of BRM014 on the transcriptome and the chromatin landscape of non-tumoral normal murine mammary (NMuMG) epithelial cells.
