Genome-wide mapping of Collier in vivo binding sites highlights its hierarchical position in different transcription regulatory networks

ABSTRACT: Collier, the single Drosophila COE (Collier/EBF/Olf-1) transcription factor, is required in several developmental processes, including head patterning and specification of muscle and neuron identity during embryogenesis. To identify direct Collier (Col) targets in different cell types, we used ChIP-seq to map Col binding sites throughout the genome, at mid-embryogenesis. In vivo Col binding peaks were associated to 415 potential direct target genes. Gene Ontology analysis revealed a strong enrichment in proteins with DNA binding and/or transcription-regulatory properties. Characterization of a selection of candidates, using transgenic CRM-reporter assays, identified direct Col targets in dorso-lateral somatic muscles and specific neuron types in the central nervous system. These data brought new evidence that Col direct control of the expression of the transcription regulators apterous and eyes-absent (eya) is critical to specifying neuronal identities. They also showed that cross-regulation between col and eya in muscle progenitor cells is required for specification of muscle identity, revealing a new parallel between the myogenic regulatory networks operating in Drosophila and vertebrates. Col regulation of eya, both in specific muscle and neuronal lineages, may illustrate one mechanism behind the evolutionary diversification of Col biological roles.

Project description:In vertebrates, pluripotent pharyngeal mesoderm progenitors produce the cardiac precursors of the second heart field as well as the branchiomeric head muscles and associated stem cells. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the transition from multipotent progenitors to distinct heart and muscle precursors remain obscured by the complexity of vertebrate embryos. Here, using the ascidian Ciona intestinalis as a simple chordate model for cardiopharyngeal development, we show that bipotent progenitors are transcriptionally primed to activate both heart and pharyngeal muscle regulatory programs, which become restricted to the corresponding precursors following a conserved pattern of asymmetric divisions. Localized expression of COE (Collier/OLF1/EBF) then orchestrates the transition to a pharyngeal muscle fate both by promoting an MRF (Myogenic Regulatory Factor)-associated core myogenic program in myoblasts and by maintaining an undifferentiated state in their sister precursors through Notch-mediated lateral inhibition. Using single cell lineage tracing, we show that the latter are stem-like muscle precursors, which form most of the juvenile body wall muscles following proliferation, self-renewal, re-activation of MRF, and migration. We discuss the implications of our findings for the development and evolution of the cardiopharyngeal mesoderm in chordates. We combined fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and whole genome transcription profiling following perturbations of COE function to characterize the transcriptional dynamics underlying the specification of heart and ASM precursors in the ascidian cardiopharyngeal lineage. We used whole genome transcription profiling of FACS-purified cell populations isolated from 21 hpf larvae expressing FoxF>COE, FoxF>COE::WRPW or the FoxF>NLS::lacZ control. To gain insights into the transcriptional dynamics underlying fate specification in the cardiopharyngeal lineage, we also purified B7.5-lineage cells from control embryos and larvae collected every two hours from 8 to 28 hpf. This time window encompasses all developmental transitions from early TVC specification till ASM ring formation and initial differentiation.
