Investigating the transcriptional regulatory role of FBXA-215 [young Adults]

ABSTRACT: We identified a Mariner transposase helix-turn-helix (HTH) DNA-binding domain that was captured in the Caenorhabditis genus by a subset of F-box genes, which we refer to as F-box A2 genes. The origin of F-box A2 genes likely occurred through a single transposase capture event, followed by an increase in copy number. We focused on fbxa-215, a F-box A2 gene highly expressed in the C. elegans germline and embryos, and that localizes to germ granules in embryos. The HTH domain of FBXA-215 is required for fertility and displays predominantly a signature of purifying selection, highlighting the importance of this domain. As the HTH domain of FBXA-215 is related to the DNA-binding HTH domain of transposases, we reasoned that FBXA-215 may bind to DNA in C. elegans and thus regulate gene expression at the transcriptional level. We performed mRNA sequencing of young adults and embryos to test this, but found no clear deregulation of protein-coding genes and transposable elements upon complete deletion of fbxa-215.

Transposable elements drive regulatory and functional innovation of F box genes

Project description:Protein domains of transposable elements (TEs) and viruses increase the protein diversity of host genomes by recombining with other protein domains. By screening 10 million eukaryotic proteins, we identified several domains that define multi-copy gene families and frequently co-occur with TE/viral domains. Among these, a Tc1/Mariner transposase helix turn helix (HTH) domain was captured by F-box genes in the Caenorhabditis genus, creating a new class of F-box genes. For specific members of this class, like fbxa-215, we found that the HTH domain is required for diverse processes including germ granule localisation, fertility, and thermotolerance. Furthermore, we provide evidence that HSF-1 mediates the transcriptional integration of fbxa-215 into the heat-shock response by binding to Helitron TEs directly upstream of its locus. The interactome of HTH-bearing F-box factors suggests roles in post-translational regulation and proteostasis, consistent with established functions of F box proteins. Based on AlphaFold2 multimer proteome-wide screens, we propose that the HTH domain may diversify the repertoire of protein substrates that F-box factors regulate post-translationally. We further demonstrate that F-box genes repeatedly and independently captured TE domains throughout eukaryotic evolution, and describe an additional instance in zebrafish. In conclusion, we identify recurrent TE domain captures by F-box genes in eukaryotes and provide insights into how these novel proteins are integrated within host gene regulatory networks.

Transcription profiling of C. elegans wild type (N2) and hlh-30(tm1978) mutants

Project description:The hlh-30 gene encodes a C. elegans basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor; We compared RNA from wild type worms and worms mutant for the hlh-30 gene to identify putative target genes of the HLH-30 transcription factor. Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA from three biological replicates were isolated from embryos, L1 larvae, and L2 larvae from both wild type and hlh-30(tm1978) mutant worms

Expression data from RAW-264.7 cells transfected with empty vector and mouse FoxQ1 expression construct

Project description:Transcription factor FoxQ1 belongs to family of Fox transcription factors containing forkhead box (winged helix) domain. This family of proteins plays an important role in cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation. Expression of FoxQ1 was found in cancer cells and was associated with increased migration and invasion. Recently, elevated FoxQ1 expression was found in IL4 stimulated macrophages. We used microarrays to clarify the role of FoxQ1 in macrophages

ChIP-Seq analysis of LCOR and mutated variants lacking the nuclear receptor binding domain or the HTH motif in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells

Project description:LCOR is a tumor suppressor that induces differentiation of mammary stem cells and cancer stem cells. LCOR orchestrates and sensitizes cells to interferon in ER-negative breast cancer cells. LCOR can act as a co-repressor of activated nuclear receptors and also as a transcription factor by DNA direct binding through its HTH domain. These domains are the most conserved regions of LCOR across vertebrates, suggesting a conserved regulatory function. Here we performed ChiP-seq analysis of LCOR in MDA-MB-231 cells with ectopic expression of the LCOR wild-type, LCOR without the nuclear receptor binding domain (LSKAA) and LCOR with deleted DNA binding domain (HTH). This analysis allows to compare the genome wide distribution of LCOR depending on these specific protein domains

Tissue overgrowth induced by coexpression of the progenitor genes hth/MEIS1 and tsh/TSHZ results from an imbalance in the estrogen response pathway in Drosophila [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Analysis of third instar eye-antennal Drosophila imaginal discs with forced expression of hth, tsh or hth+tsh in the eye using an eye-specific GAL4 driver (optix2.3-GAL4). Forced maintenance of hth+tsh expression (but not of any of the two alone) results in overgrowth and aberrant cell differentiation. Results provide insight into new targets of hth+tsh.

Role of BHLHE40 in shaping macrophage inflammatory response

Project description:BHLHE40 is a member of basic helix-loop-helix family transcription factors and highly conserved across mammalian species. Structurally, BHLHE40 consists of an N-terminal basic DNA binding domain, a helix-loop-helix dimerization domain, and a protein interacting orange domain. BHLHE40 is known to regulate a wide variety of essential cellular processes, including cell cycle, cellular proliferation, programmed cell death, cellular development and differentiation, and circadian rhythm. Here we isolated thioglycollate-elicited peritoneal macrophages (PMs) from 3 mice per group (Lyz2cre and Lyz2cre:BHLHE40Fl/Fl). These cells were stimulated with 100ng/ml LPS for 4 hours. Total RNA was isolated and subjected to RNAseq analyses.
