R7-dependent transcription in the developing Drosophila retina

ABSTRACT: Color vision in Drosophila is mediated by photoreceptors R7 and R8, which express various combinations of opsins Rh3, Rh4, Rh5 and Rh6 depending on their cellular identity. Most ommatidia are classified as either “pale” or “yellow” subtypes with pale ommatidia coordinately expressing Rh3 and Rh5—in R7 and R8 cells respectively—while yellow express Rh4 and Rh6. Subtype identity is established initially in R7 photoreceptors via a stochastic mechanism then transmitted to the R8 via an inductive signal to ensure paired opsin expression. To identify factors that may be involved in this process, we used RNA-Seq to detect genes that are differentially expressed in sevenless mutant retinas at 40 hours after puparium formation. Since loss of sevenless prevents R7 recruitment and specification, we reasoned that this approach would allow us to identify genes that are enriched in R7 cells during this critical time point. Furthermore, since it has previously been established that in the absence of R7 most R8s will adopt the yellow Rh6-expressing identity, this gives us the opportunity to identify genes which may inductive mechanism occurring in R8 cells.

Microarray analysis of R7 and R8 targeting

Project description:The formation of neuronal connections requires the precise guidance of developing axons towards their targets. In the Drosophila visual system, photoreceptor neurons (R cells) project from the eye into the brain. These cells are grouped into some 750 clusters comprised of eight photoreceptors or R-cells each. R cells fall into three classes, R1-R6, R7 and R8. Posterior R8 cells are the first to project axons into the brain. How these axons select a specific pathway is not known. Here, we used a microarray-based approach to identify genes expressed in R7 and R8 neurons as they extend into the brain.

Expression data from maturing soybean seeds

Project description:Environmental stresses such as drought, salinity and both high and low temperature are frequently faced by crops all over the world and can be considered major limiting factors for plant geographical distribution and productivity. Breeding has allowed creation of crops more adapted to some of the adverse environmental conditions and to overcome the geographical limitation without major consequences to productivity. However, due to the climate changes observed in the last few decades, some agricultural areas have experienced the âgreen seed problemâ characterized by chlorophyll retention in mature seeds. This is problematic in oil seed crops such as soybean and canola since it is related to lower seed and oil quality, resulting in serious financial losses. Besides the environmental factors, there are also genetic components controlling the susceptibility of different cultivars to green seed production. Understanding the molecular mechanisms controlling chlorophyll retention in seeds is crucial to allow advanced molecular breeding techniques and genetic engineering as a way to increase tolerance to this growing problem. We have used maturing soybean seeds of the cultivar MG/BR 46, harvested in R6, R7 and R8, produced under non-stressed and stressed environmental conditions, to understand he molecular basis of chlorophyll degradation and, consequently, its retention during soybean seed maturation. Soybean seeds were produced under stressed and non-stressed conditions and harvested in 3 different stages of maturation: R6 non-stressed, R7 non-stressed, R8 non-stressed, R6 stressed, R7 stressed, R8 stressed.

Synergistic activation by Glass and Pointed promotes neuronal identity in the Drosophila eye disc

Project description:The integration of extrinsic signaling with cell-intrinsic transcription factors can direct progenitor cells to differentiate into distinct cell fates.In the developingDrosophilaeye, differentiation of photoreceptors R1-R7 requires EGFR signaling mediated by the transcription factor Pointed, and our single-cell RNA-Seq analysis shows that the same photoreceptors require the eye-specific transcription factor Glass. We discovered that ectopic expression of Glass and activation of EGFR signaling synergistically induce neuronal gene expression in the wing disc in a Pointed-dependent manner. Targeted DamID reveals that Glass and Pointed share many binding sites in the genome of developing photoreceptors. Comparison with transcriptomic data shows that Pointed and Glass induce photoreceptor differentiation through intermediate transcription factors, including the redundant homologues Scratch and Scrape, as well as directly activating neuronal genes. Our data reveal synergistic activation of a multi-layered transcriptional network as the mechanism by which EGFR signaling induces neuronal identity in Glass-expressing cells.

The Circadian Clock Gene Bmal1 Controls Thyroid Hormone-Mediated Spectral Identity and Cone Photoreceptor Function

Project description:Here we reveal a novel role for the circadian clock gene Bmal1 and Period2 in regulating the spatial organization of the cone opsins. Deletion of Bmal1 and Per2 have opposing effects on S-opsin expression and patterning of the cone photoreceptors is disrupted in cone specific knockouts of these genes. Using ChIP analysis we show that BMAL1 directly binds to the promoter region of the thyroid activating enzyme type II deiodinase (Dio2).

Tulp1 deficiency causes early-onset retinal degeneration through affecting ciliogenesis and activating ferroptosis in zebrafish

Project description:Mutations in TUB-like protein 1 (TULP1) are associated with severe early-onset retinal degeneration in humans. However, the pathogenesis remains largely unknown. There are two homologous genes of TULP1 in zebrafish, namely tulp1a and tulp1b. Here, we generated the single knockout (tulp1a-/- and tulp1b-/-) and double knockout (tulp1-dKO) models in zebrafish. Knockout of tulp1a results in the mislocalization of UV cone opsins and the degeneration of UV cones specifically, while knockout of tulp1b results in mislocalization of rod opsins and rod-cone degeneration. In the tulp1-dKO zebrafish, mislocalization of opsins was present in all types of photoreceptors, and severe degeneration was observed at a very early age, mimicking the clinical manifestations of TULP1 patients. Photoreceptor cilium length was significantly reduced in the tulp1-dKO retinas. RNA-seq analysis showed that the expression of tektin2 (tekt2), a ciliary and flagellar microtubule structural component, was downregulated in the tulp1-dKO zebrafish. Dual-luciferase reporter assay suggested that Tulp1a and Tulp1b transcriptionally activate the promoter of tekt2. Additionally, ferroptosis might be activated in the tulp1-dKO zebrafish, as suggested by the up-regulation of genes related to the ferroptosis pathway, the shrinkage of mitochondria, reduction or disappearance of mitochondria cristae, and the iron and lipid droplet deposition in the retina of tulp1-dKO zebrafish. In conclusion, our study establishes an appropriate zebrafish model for TULP1-associated retinal degeneration and proposes that loss of TULP1 causes defects in cilia structure and opsin trafficking through the downregulation of tekt2, which further increases the death of photoreceptors via ferroptosis. These findings offer insight into the pathogenesis and clinical treatment of early-onset retinal degeneration.

Rab28 is localised to photoreceptor outer segments, regulates outer segment shedding but is not linked to retinal degeneration in zebrafish

Project description:The photoreceptor outer segment is the canonical example of a modified and highly specialised cilium, with an expanded membrane surface area in the form of discs or lamellae for efficient light detection. Many ciliary proteins are essential for normal photoreceptor function and cilium dysfunction often results in retinal degeneration leading to impaired vision. Herein, we investigate the function and localisation of the ciliary G-protein RAB28 in zebrafish cone photoreceptors. CRISPR-Cas9 generated rab28 mutant zebrafish display a reduction in shed outer segment material in the RPE at 1 month post fertilisation (mpf), but otherwise normal retinal structure and visual function up to 12 mpf. Cone photoreceptorspecific transgenic reporter lines show Rab28 localises almost exclusively to outer segments, independently of nucleotide binding. Co-immunoprecipitation analysis demonstrates tagged Rab28 interacts with components of the phototransduction cascade, including opsins, Phosphodiesterase 6C and Guanylate Cyclase 2D. Our data shed light on RAB28 function in cones and provide a model for RAB28-associated cone-rod dystrophy
