Project description:Neuronal activity is critical for adaptive circuit remodeling but poses an inherent risk to the stability of the genome across the long lifespan of post-mitotic neurons1-5. Whether neurons have acquired specialized genome protection mechanisms that enable them to withstand decades of potentially damaging stimuli during periods of heightened activity is not known. Here we identify an activity-dependent DNA repair mechanism via a new form of the NuA4/TIP60 chromatin modifier that assembles in activated neurons around the inducible, neuronal-specific transcription factor NPAS4. We purify this complex directly from the brain and demonstrate its functions in eliciting activity-dependent changes to neuronal transcriptomes and circuitry. By identifying the landscape of activity-induced DNA double-strand breaks in the brain, we show that the NPAS4:NuA4 complex binds to recurrently damaged regulatory elements and recruits additional DNA repair machinery to stimulate their repair. Gene regulatory elements bound by the NPAS4:NuA4 complex are partially protected from age-dependent accumulation of somatic mutations. Impaired NPAS4:NuA4 signaling leads to a cascade of cellular defects including dysregulated transcriptional responses to activity, loss of control over neuronal inhibition, and genome instability, culminating in reduced organismal lifespan. In addition, mutations in several components of the NuA4 complex are reported to lead to neurodevelopmental disorders and autism. Together, these findings identify a neuronal-specific complex that couples neuronal activity directly to genome preservation and whose disruption may contribute to developmental disorders, neurodegeneration and aging.

Project description:The transcription factor Mef2 regulates activity-dependent neuronal plasticity and morphology in mammals, and clock neurons are reported to experience activity-dependent circadian remodeling in Drosophila. We show here that Mef2 is required for this daily fasciculation-defasciculation cycle. Moreover, the master circadian transcription complex CLK/CYC directly regulates Mef2 transcription. ChIP-Chip analysis identified numerous Mef2 target genes implicated in neuronal plasticity, including the cell-adhesion gene Fas2. Genetic epistasis experiments support this transcriptional regulatory hierarchy, CLK/CYC->Mef2-> Fas2, indicate that it influences the circadian fasciculation cycle within pacemaker neurons and suggest that this cycle also contributes to circadian behavior. Mef2 therefore transmits clock information to machinery involved in neuronal remodeling, which contributes to locomotor activity rhythms. Mef2 ChIP-chip samples collected at 6 timepoints, input and IP samples
