Project description:Insulators are considered as chromosome organizers. BEAF, one of the insulator proteins, is highly conserved in Drosophila speies but also limited to Drosophila spcies. BEAF associates with TSS of active genes. Comparative study of BEAF binding landscapes in four Drosophila species reveals BEAF association with gene pairs, and the results suggest the role of gain or loss of BEAF binding during the speciation of Drosophila species. DNA sample from ChIP for BEAF and input are collected for each of four Drosophila species

Project description:Insulators are DNA sequences that control the interactions among genomic regulatory elements and act as chromatin boundaries. A thorough understanding of their location and function is necessary to address the complexities of metazoan gene regulation. We studied by ChIP-chip the genome-wide binding sites of 6 insulator-associated proteins – dCTCF, CP190, BEAF-32, Su(Hw), Mod(mdg4) and GAF – to obtain the first comprehensive map of insulator elements in Drosophila embryos. We identify over 14,000 putative insulators, including all previously known insulators. We find two major classes of insulators defined by dCTCF/CP190/BEAF-32 and Su(Hw) respectively. Distributional analyses of insulators revealed that particular sub-classes of insulator elements are excluded between cis-regulatory elements and their target promoters, divide differentially expressed, alternative, and divergent promoters, act as chromatin boundaries, are associated with chromosomal breakpoints among species, and are embedded within active chromatin domains. Together, these results provide a map demarcating the boundaries of gene regulatory units, and a framework for understanding insulator function during the development and evolution of Drosophila.

Project description:Chromatin insulators are DNA protein complexes that mediate inter and intra chromosomal interactions. Boundary Element Associated Factor- 32 (BEAF-32) is an insulator protein predominantly found near gene promoters and thought to play a role in gene expression. We find that mutations in BEAF-32 are lethal, show loss of epithelial morphology in imaginal discs and cause neoplastic growth defects. To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying this phenotype, we carried out a genome-wide analysis of BEAF-32 localization in wing imaginal disc cells. Mutation of BEAF-32 results in miss-regulation of 3850 genes by at least 1.5-fold, 647 of which are bound by this protein in wing imaginal cells. Up-regulated genes encode proteins such as Bazooka, a determinant of cell polarity; the Insulin receptor-1 and the p70-S6 kinase, involved in the insulin growth factor pathway that can activate various pathways involved in cell proliferation; and the Unpaired 3 ligand of the Janus kinase (JNK) pathway, and its target gene Socs35, which can also activate cell proliferation. The expression of genes involved in DNA homologous end repair and oxidative stress pathways is also increased in BEAF-32 mutants. Among the down-regulated genes are those encoding components of the Wingless pathway, which is required for cell differentiation, and amino acid metabolism. Miss-regulation of these genes explains the unregulated cell growth and neoplastic phenotypes observed in imaginal tissues of BEAF-32 mutants. Here we examine mapping the genomic binding sites and its distribution of BEAF-32, a Drosophila insulator proteins in wing imaginal tissue. We performed ChIP-seq analysis using BEAF-32B.

Project description:Chromatin insulators are involved in transcription regulation and long-range chromatin contacts. In Drosophila the Boundary Element-Associated Factor Of 32kD (BEAF-32) binds to promoters of housekeeping genes and the boundaries of Topological Associated Domains (TAD) and is involved in the regulation of long-range targets by mechanisms that remain incompletely understood. Here we show that Relative-Of-WOC (ROW), which is part of the Heterochromatin Protein 1c (HP1c) complex, is essential for the long-range transcription regulation mediated by BEAF-32. We found that ROW physically interacts with the insulator complex proteins BEAF-32 and Chromator, as well as with HP1c, HP1b, and Without Children (WOC). Moreover, we found that ROW binds AT-rich sequences flanked by BEAF-32 motifs, which are located at promoters of housekeeping genes and in TAD boundaries. In agreement with these results, the genome distribution of ROW strongly correlated with BEAF-32 and WOC, but at a lower level with HP1c and HP1b. Knockdown of row resulted in downregulation of genes that are long-range targets of BEAF-32, are indirectly bound by BEAF-32 and ROW, and enriched with factors associated with RNA polymerase II pausing. These results suggest that ROW and BEAF-32 are involved in the recruitment of protein complexes required for transcription activation and long-range contacts between promoters of housekeeping and inducible genes.
