Project description:Gene regulation by steroid hormones plays important roles in health and disease. In Drosophila, the hormone ecdysone governs transitions between key developmental stages. Ecdysone-regulated genes are bound by a heterodimer of ecdysone receptor (EcR) and Ultraspiracle. According to the bimodal switch model, steroid hormone receptors recruit corepressors in the absence of hormone and coactivators in its presence. Here we show that the nucleosome remodeller dMi-2 is recruited to ecdysone-regulated genes to limit transcription. Contrary to the prevalent model, recruitment of the dMi-2 corepressor increases upon hormone addition to constrain gene activation through chromatin remodelling. Furthermore, EcR and dMi-2 form a complex that is devoid of Ultraspiracle. Unexpectedly, EcR contacts the dMi-2 ATPase domain and increases the efficiency of dMi-2-mediated nucleosome remodelling. This study identifies a non-canonical EcR-corepressor complex with the potential for a direct regulation of ATP-dependent nucleosome remodelling by a nuclear hormone receptor.

Project description:The subject of the current study is the finding of possible molecular partners of Drosophila EcR receptor. Two labelling enzymes (BioID2 and APEX2) were fused to EcR or Usp to biotin label the surrounding proteins. All fused proteins were expressed using the Act5C promoter in Drosophila S2 cells. To ensure functionality of the generated proteins, we verified their ability to bind EcR and Usp sites in the Drosophila genome with the ChIP-Seq. Our results demonstrate that EcR and Usp fusions can be recruited to genomic sites endogenous for the EcR/Usp proteins. Conversely, unfused BioID2 and APEX2 enzymes do not bind to EcR/Usp sites. A more in-depth study was conducted to clarify the association of EcR/Usp with one of the detected proteins, CP190, a well-described cofactor of Drosophila insulators. ChIP-Seq experiments revealed an enrichment of CP190 binding on transcription start and end sites of 20E-dependent genes but not at EcR/Usp-bound enhancers.

Project description:In Drosophila, the ecdysone steroid hormone is essential for coordinating developmental timing across physically separated tissues. Ecdysone directly impacts genome function through its receptor, a heterodimer of the EcR and Usp proteins. Ligand binding to EcR triggers a transcriptional cascade, including activation of a set of primary response transcription factors. The hierarchical organization of this pathway has left the direct role of EcR in mediating ecdysone responses obscured. Here, we investigate the role of EcR in controlling tissue-specific ecdysone responses, focusing on two tissues that diverge in their response to rising ecdysone titers: the larval salivary gland, which undergoes programmed destruction, and the wing imaginal disc, which initiates metamorphosis. We find that EcR functions bimodally, with both gene repressive and activating functions, even at the same developmental stage. We find that EcR DNA binding profiles are highly tissue-specific, and transgenic reporter analyses demonstrate that EcR plays a direct role in controlling enhancer activity. Despite a strong correlation between tissue-specific EcR binding and tissue-specific open chromatin, we find that EcR does not control chromatin accessibility at genomic targets. We conclude that EcR contributes extensively to tissue-specific ecdysone responses. However, control over access to its binding sites is subordinated to other transcription factors.

Project description:Ecdysone signaling has long been studied as a paradigm for how hormones can synchronize development events in tissues throughout the animal. At the genetic level, ecdysone acts through its receptor, EcR, which has been classically thought to act at a relatively small number of canonical, ecdysone-responsive genes which then go on to activate the effectors of cellular processes. However, in spite of the decades of work studying EcR, the understanding of how EcR promotes changes in gene expression genome-wide in vivo remains incomplete. To examine EcR’s role in promoting changes in gene expression, we use a tissue-specific GAL4 driver to knockdown EcR throughout wing development and perform RNAseq on both WT wings and EcR-RNAi wings at -6h after puparium formation (APF) and +6hAPF. We find that EcR is required to promote thousands of gene expression changes genome-wide. To determine whether EcR is directly effecting these changes, we perform CUT&RUN in wings to identify EcR binding sites genome-wide. We find that EcR directly binds thousands of sites genome-wide, including many genes important for wing development. Collectively, these data suggest that EcR does not only act the top of a signaling cascade, but, instead, directly effects the response to ecdysone at multiple levels.

Project description:We compared ecdysone receptor (EcR)-dependent gene expression in the Drosophila fat body on 0.15 M sucrose and 0.5 M sucrose high-sugar diets in order to gain insight into the role of this gene during caloric overload. Phenotypic analyses showed an increased severity of EcR RNAi phenotypes with increasing dietary sugar concentration. Because EcR is a transcription factor, we performed RNA-seq studies to identify transcriptional targets that might underlie insulin resistance downstream of EcR RNAi.
