Project description:Notch signaling is an evolutionarily conserved pathway for specifying binary neuronal fates, yet how it specifies different fates in different contexts remains elusive. In our accompanying paper, using the Drosophila lamina neuron types (L1-L5) as a model, we show that the primary homeodomain transcription factor (HDTF) Bsh activates secondary HDTFs Ap (L4) and Pdm3 (L5) and specifies L4/L5 neuronal fates. Here we test the hypothesis that Notch signaling enables Bsh to differentially specify L4 and L5 fates. We show asymmetric Notch signaling between newborn L4 and L5 neurons, but they are not siblings; rather, Notch signaling in L4 is due to Delta expression in adjacent L1 neurons. While Notch signaling and Bsh expression are mutually independent, Notch is necessary and sufficient for Bsh to specify L4 fate over L5. The NotchON L4, compared to NotchOFF L5, has a distinct open chromatin landscape which allows Bsh to bind distinct genomic loci, leading to L4-specific identity gene transcription. We propose a novel model in which Notch signaling is integrated with the primary HDTF activity to diversify neuron types by directly or indirectly generating a distinct open chromatin landscape that constrains the pool of genes that a primary HDTF can activate.

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study was to track fluctuations in gene expression across all defined life cycle stages of the cattle lungworm Dictyocaulus viviparus. Methods: Batches of worms from a Hannover, Germany strain were harvested in duplicate as eggs, L1, L2, L3, L4, hypobiotic L5, mixed-sex L5, male L5, female L5, mature males and mature females. RNA was isolated, reverse transcribed and sequenced on the Illumina platform. Finally, reads were mapped to the D. viviparus draft genome assembly and read counts associated with each feature were used to estimate gene expression levels and predict differential gene expression at various transitional points across the life cycle. Results: Principal component analyses indicated that major gene expression shifts occur upon hatching, infection of the bovid host, and sexual maturation.

Project description:Piwi-related Argonaute proteins play important roles in maintaining germline integrity and fertility and have been linked to a class of germline-enriched small RNAs termed piRNAs. Caenorhabditis elegans encodes two Piwi family proteins called PRG-1 and PRG-2, and PRG-1 interacts with the C. elegans piRNAs (21U-RNAs). Previous studies found that the prg-1 mutation causes a marked reduction in the expression of 21U-RNAs, temperature-sensitive defects in fertility and other phenotypic defects.To systematically demonstrate the function of PRG-1 on regulating small RNAs and their targets. We use recent advances in high-throughput sequencing technology to show that expression of non-coding small RNAs in six stages(embryo,L1,L2,L3,L4,young audlt) and mRNAs in four stages (L1,L2,L3,L4) after prg-1 mutation. prg-1 mutation can not only lead to a decrease in the expression of 21U-RNAs, but also cause 35~40% of miRNAs to be significantly down-regulated; approximately 3% (6.00% in L4) of protein-coding genes are differentially expressed after mutating prg-1, and 60~70% of these substantially changed protein-coding genes are up-regulated. Examination of small RNA expression in six different developmental stages (embryo, L1, L2, L3, L4, young adult) and mRNA expression in four stages (L1,L2,L3,L4) of C. elegans prg-1 mutant (wm161) .

Project description:AIN-2::GFP IP were used to purify miRISC from stage sychronized C.elegans populations (Egg, L1, L2, L3 and L4 stages). The mRNA composition of the IP results and the corresponding total RNA samples were analyzed by WUSTL Caenorhabditis elegans Whole Genome 23k Oligo Array. The miRISC associated mRNAs (miRNA targets) in each stage were identified by measuring the relative enrichment of each mRNA in the IP sample versus the corresponding total RNA sample The mRNAs in AIN-2::GFP IP results (IP) and the corresponding input total lysate (tot) were analyzed for each stage (Egg, L1, L2, L3, and L4 stages). At least three independent biological replicates were analyzed for each stage.
