Project description:To understand the function and regulation of the C. elegans heat shock factor (HSF-1) in larval development, we have used ChIP-seq to analyze the occupancy of HSF1 and RNA Pol II in L2 larvae and young adult (YA) animals grown at 20°C or upon heat shock at 34°C for 30 min. In addition, we have used RNA-seq to analyze the transcriptomes of wild type (N2), hsf-1(ok600) mutants and hsf-1(ok600); rmSi1[hsf-1::gfp] L2 larvae grown at 20°C and characterized the gene expression change by heat shock in wild type (N2) animals at L2 stage.

Project description:The goal of this RNA-Seq analysis was to identify genes differentially expressed in wild type (N2) and a hypomorphic mutant of the gene encoding heat shock factor 1 {hsf-1(sy441)} at normal conditions and upon heat shock. This study aimed to identify genes that are up- or downregulated when HSF-1 activity is impaired at 20 ºC. We also aimed to identify gene that are regulated by HSF-1 upon heat stress by comparing differentially expressed genes upon heat shock in wild type and in hsf-1(sy441) mutant background.

Project description:To understand the roles of HSF-1 and its regulation in reproduction and heat shock response in a tissue-specific manner, we coupled tissue-specific HSF-1 depletion in C. elegans by auxin-inducible degron (AID) with genome-wide transcriptional analyses in whole animals. We used ChIP-seq to analyze the occupancy of HSF-1 (tagged with AID::GFP) and RNA Pol II in young adult (YA) animals grown at 20°C or upon heat shock (HS) at 34°C for 30 min following an acute depletion of HSF-1 by AID for 2 hours either in the somatic or in the germline cells. Depletion by AID was performed by transferring worms expressing the E3 ligase TIR1 and carrying AID insertion to endogenous HSF-1 (JTL611 or JTL621) to NGM plates containing 1mM auxin (indole- 3-acetic acid, Sigma). The mock treatment was done by transferring worms to plates only containing the vehicle ethanol (EtOH). In parallel, we used RNA-seq to analyze the heat shock respnse upon depletion of HSF-1 in the soma or the germline for 2 hours. In addition, we also analyzed the transcriptomic changes by RNA-seq upon tissue-specific depletion of HSF-1 initiated at young adult stage for different length of time. In all RNA-seq analyses, we included the strains that only express TIR1 but do not have degron insertion at HSF-1 (CA1200 and CA1199) to control for the effects of auxin treatment and AID insertion into HSF-1.

Project description:Impaired protein homeostasis promotes age-associated tissue dysregulation, presenting a need for therapeutic approaches that can restore proteome integrity. The heat shock factor HSF-1 is the master transcriptional regulator of proteostasis and regulates the expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs), which facilitate proper protein folding, localisation, and degradation. Increased HSF-1 activity can suppress proteotoxicity and enhance longevity across species. Studies into the mechanisms behind these beneficial effects have mostly focused on HSPs; however, the precise mechanisms by which increased HSF-1 activity extends lifespan are not known. To address this, we conducted an RNAi screen for genes that promote longevity, in C. elegans over expressing HSF-1 (hsf-1 OE). We found that ubiquilin-1 (ubql-1), a multifaceted shuttle protein that functions in protein degradation pathways is necessary for full lifespan extension in hsf-1OE worms. Surprisingly, we find that lack of ubql-1 does not impact proteostasis capacity, but does alter mitochondrial dynamics, in hsf-1 OE worms. These effects are independent of mitophagy or the mitochondrial unfolded protein response (mitoUPR) suggesting enhanced turnover of mitochondrial outer membrane proteins may be important for increased longevity via the HSF-1-ubiquilin-1 axis. Additionally, we reveal a role for ubql-1, a protein quality control regulator in regulating lipid homeostasis in hsf-1 OE animals. Lack of ubql-1 in hsf-1 OE animals supresses the expression of a key mitochondrial β-oxidation and lipid mobilization gene regulated by NHR-49 - acyl-CoA synthetase-2, ACS-2 amongst other genes. We propose that ubql-1 is required for mito-fusion and metabolic modulations that promote longevity in hsf-1 OE by interacting with NHR-49.

Project description:Sequence-specific transcription factors (TFs) are critical for specifying patterns and levels of gene expression, but the DNA elements to which they can bind are not always sufficient to specify their binding in vivo. In eukaryotes, the binding of a TF is in competition with a constellation of other proteins, including histones which package DNA into nucleosomes. Here, we examine using the ChIP-seq assay, the genome-wide distribution of Drosophila Heat Shock Factor (HSF), a TF whose binding activity is mediated by heat shock-induced trimerization. We detect HSF binding to 464 sites, the vast majority of which contain HSF Sequence-binding Elements (HSEs) in Drosophila S2 cells, but these HSF-bound sites represent only a small fraction of HSEs present in the genome. We find a strong correlation of bound HSEs to active chromatin marks present prior to HSF binding, indicating an HSE’s residence in open chromatin is a primary determinant of whether HSF can bind following heat shock.

A single mock immunoprecipitation (IP) using the pre-innoculated animal serum was used as a background dataset for this study. For each condition (NHS and 20minute HS), we performed two independent HSF-ChIP-seq experiments. In addition, we performed two independent HSF-ChIP-seq experiments for each condition (NHS and 20minute HS) in cells that were highly depleted of HSF by RNAi.

Project description:DNA sequence and local chromatin landscape act jointly to determine transcription factor (TF) binding intensity profiles. To disentangle these influences, we developed an experimental approach, called protein/DNA binding and high-throughput sequencing (PB-seq), that allows the binding energy landscape to be characterized genome-wide in the absence of chromatin. We applied our methods to the Drosophila Heat Shock Factor (HSF), which inducibly binds a target DNA sequence element (HSE) following heat shock stress. PB-seq involves incubating sheared naked genomic DNA with recombinant HSF, partitioning the HSF-bound and HSF-free DNA, and then detecting HSF-bound DNA by high throughput sequencing. We compared PB-seq binding profiles with ones observed in vivo by ChIP-seq, and developed statistical models to predict the observed departures from idealized binding patterns based on covariates describing the local chromatin environment. We found that DNase I hypersensitivity and tetra-acetylation of H4 were the most influential covariates in predicting changes in HSF binding affinity. We also investigated the extent to which DNA accessibility, as measured by digital DNase I footprinting data, could be predicted from MNase-seq data and the ChIP-chip profiles for many histone modifications and TFs, and found GAGA element associated factor (GAF), tetra-acetylation of H4, and H4K16 acetylation to be the most predictive covariates. Lastly, we generated an unbiased model of HSF binding sequences, which revealed distinct biophysical properties of the HSF/HSE interaction and a previously unrecognized substructure within the HSE. These findings provide new insights into the interplay between the genomic sequence and the chromatin landscape in determining transcription factor binding intensity.
