The gene regulatory cascade linking proneural specification with differentiation in Drosophila sensory neurons

ABSTRACT: A challenge in systems biology is to understand the gene regulatory networks that connect early cellular specification to terminal differentiation of specific cell types. In neurogenesis, neural specification has been well studied, but the link between the proneural transcriptional regulators of specification and the genes that must be activated to construct differentiated neurons is obscure. High resolution temporal profiling of gene expression reveals the events downstream of Atonal (Ato) proneural gene function in Drosophila sensory neurons. Unexpectedly, many differentiation genes are activated soon after specification, even before cell cycle exit and overt neuronal differentiation. Prominent among them are genes required for construction of the ciliary dendrite. Ato activates differentiation both directly and indirectly via several intermediate transcriptional regulators, including Rfx and a new Forkhead family factor. Our analysis of these factors and their regulation provides insight into how proneural factors regulate neuronal subtype differentiation. Investigating the molecular mechanisms of peripheral nervous sytem development in Drosophila melanogaster.

Affymetrix Drosophila version 2.0 chips used to measure gene expression from GFP+ and GFP- cells from embryos expressing GFP under the control of the atonal gene enhancer in both wild type and mutant embryos. Data generated for three developmental time-points in quadruplicate.

Translatome of developing drosophila t4/t5 neurons in wildtype versus atonal loss of function genotypes

Project description:Atonal is a proneural transcription factor expressed in the Drosophila neuroblast cluster known as the inner proliferation center (IPC). The t4/t5 neurons that derived from the IPC require atonal for their normal development. To characterize the role of Atonal in t4/t5 development we have sequenced the translated RNA in t4/t5 neurons in wild type and ato loss of function flies.

Transcription profiling by array of Drosophila embryonic chordotonal neurons expressing the cato GFP reporter gene construct

Project description:Further to a previous transcription profiling experiment using a GFP reporter gene construct expressing the Drosophila proneural gene atonal (Cachero et al. 2011), a later expressing transcription factor and downstream target of ato, cato (cousin of ato) was explored as the GFP reporter in this experiment. cato-GFP expressing cells were isolated from 10h45min and 11h45min old embryos. GFP+ and GFP- cells were compared on Affymetrix Drosophila version 2.0 chips.

Chromatine immunoprecipation of atonal binding sites in Drosophila L3 eye imaginal discs

Project description:Atonal is a proneural transcription factor expressed in the Drosophila eye imaginal discs. To characterize the putative targes of Atonal in the eye discs we have used an endogenously GFP-tagged version of atonal to immunoprecipate disc samples with anti-GFP antibodies

Molecular basis of neuronal subtype bias introduced by proneural factors Ascl1 and Neurog2 (RNA-seq)

Project description:Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proneural transcription factors (TFs) Ascl1 and Neurog2 are integral to the development of the nervous system. Here, we investigated the molecular mechanisms by which Ascl1 and Neurog2 control the acquisition of generic neuronal fate and impose neuronal subtype identity. Using direct neuronal programming of embryonic stem cells, we found that Ascl1 and Neurog2 regulate distinct targets by binding to largely different sets of sites. Their divergent binding pattern is not determined by the previous chromatin state but distinguished by specific E-box enrichments which reflect the DNA sequence preference of the bHLH domain. The divergent Ascl1 and Neurog2 binding patterns result in distinct chromatin accessibility and enhancer activity landscapes that shape the binding and activity of downstream TFs during neuronal specification. Our findings suggest that proneural factors contribute to neuronal diversity by differentially altering the chromatin landscapes that shape the binding of neuronally expressed TFs.

Atonal and Senseless perturbations in Drosophila melanogaster eye-antennal imaginal discs.

Project description:The goal of this study is to identify co-expressed genes downstream of Atonal and Senseless. These gene lists are used as candidate target genes (technically: as foreground sets) in computational predictions of cis-regulatory elements using the cisTargetX method (http://med.kuleuven.be/cme-mg/lng/cisTargetX). Together, the gene expression results and cis-regulatory predictions, yield a gene regulatory network underlying the early events in retinal differentiation. Predicted cis-regulatory interactions have been validated extensively in vivo using enhancer reporter assays and genetic perturbations. Six samples were analyzed for Atonal gain-of-function (GOF) in the eye-antennal imaginal discs of third instar larvae of Drosophila melanogaster, namely three biological repeats for two different Gal4 drivers (Gal4/7 and AtoGal), crossed with UASato. Three samples were analyzed for Atonal loss-of-function (LOF) in the eye-antennal imaginal discs, namely three biological repeats of ato-/- larvae. Three samples were analyzed for Senseless GOF, namely three biological repeats of atoGal4 crossed with UASsens. Finally, eight control samples were analyzed, namely two biological repeats of four different lines (atoGal4, Gal4/7, UASato, and cantonS wild type).
