Project description:Heterochromatin-protein 1 (HP1) is a functionally diverse family of proteins. In particular, Drosophila dHP1c forms a complex with the transcription factors WOC and ROW (dHP1EU) that localizes at euchromatin and regulates gene expression. We used microarrays to analyse the changes in gene expression after row depletion by RNAi. For expression profiling analyses, total RNAs were prepared from control S2 cells and upon RNAi-mediated depletion of ROW, converted to cDNA and hybridized to Drosophila Genome 2.0 GeneChip (Affymetrix).

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.

Project description:Topoisomerases solve topological problems during DNA metabolism, but whether they participate in RNA metabolism remains unclear. Top3b represents a family of topoisomerases carrying activities for both DNA and RNA. Here we show that in Drosophila, Top3b interacts biochemically and genetically with the RNAi-induced silencing complex (RISC) containing AGO2, p68 RNA helicase, and FMRP. Top3b and RISC mutants are similarly defective in heterochromatin formation and transcriptional silencing by position-effect variegation assay. Moreover, both Top3b and AGO2 mutants exhibit reduced levels of heterochromatin protein HP1 in pericentric heterochromatin. Furthermore, expression of several genes and transposable elements in heterochromatin is increased in the Top3b mutant. Notably, Top3b mutants defective in either RNA binding or catalytic activity are deficient in promoting HP1 recruitment and silencing of transposable elements. Our data suggest that Top3b may act as an RNA topoisomerase in siRNA-guided heterochromatin formation and transcriptional silencing.

Project description:In the ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena, an RNAi-mediated feedback loop is important for assembling heterochromatin on the sequences that are removed from the somatic genome by programmed DNA elimination. Because heterochromatin is formed exclusively on the eliminated sequences, some mechanism must inhibit this feedback loop at the boundaries of the eliminated sequences. In this study, we show that the HP1-like protein Coi6p, its interaction partners Coi7p and Lia5p, and the histone demethylase Jmj1p are crucial for confining the formation of heterochromatin to the eliminated sequences.
