Project description:DRM is a conserved transcription factor complex that includes E2F/DP and pRB family proteins and plays important roles in development and cancer. Here we analyze genome-wide binding and function of the C. elegans DRM subunit LIN-54. We demonstrate that LIN-54 DNA-binding activity is required for the DRM complex to efficiently bind and regulate target genes containing adjacent putative E2F/DP and LIN-54 binding sites. We show that LIN-54 binds to the promoters of genes involved in cell division, development, and reproduction, and acts differently in the germline versus the soma. The E2F/DP-LIN-54 binding motif, individual target genes, and overall DRM function are conserved among worms, flies, and humans. Despite this conservation, we discovered one striking feature of C. elegans DRM not shared in flies or humans: it is depleted from X chromosomes. We show that DRM binding, the E2F-LIN-54 hybrid motif, and LIN-54-regulated genes are all autosome-enriched.

Chromatin-immunoprecipitation of mixed staged wild-type C.elegans (N2, Bristol strain) was performed using non-commercial anti-LIN-54 antibody raised in guinea pig (Harrison et at. 2006).

Project description:The Retinoblastoma-like pocket proteins p130 and p107 act as gatekeepers of the cell cycle through their activity within the DREAM (Dp/Rb-like/E2F/MuvB) transcriptional repressor complex. The goal of this study was to address how the pocket protein contributes to DREAM complex assembly and function on chromatin by utilizing a protein null mutant of the only C. elegans pocket protein LIN-35. We performed ChIP-seq of C. elegans DRM subunits in wild-type and lin-35 null late embryos to assess the effect on their chromatin localization following loss of LIN-35.

Project description:DRM is a conserved transcription factor complex that includes E2F/DP and pRB family proteins and plays important roles in development and cancer. Here we perform microarray expression profiling analysis of lin-54, a DNA-binding member of the DRM complex. To identify genes regulated by LIN-54 in soma and germline, we analyzed wild-type and lin-54 mutant C. elegans embryos and isolated germlines. We chose embryos because they consist primarily of somatic cells, at a developmental stage with both active cell divisions and dynamic developmental gene expression programs. Since lin-54 null animals are sterile, embryos were obtained from a strain carrying the partial loss-of-function allele lin-54(n2990). Germlines were dissected from lin-54(n3423) null adults that lack detectable transcript and protein. The results revealed conserved roles for DRM in regulating genes involved in cell division, development, and reproduction. We find LIN-54 promotes expression of reproduction genes in the germline, but prevents ectopic activation of germline-specific genes in embryonic soma. Strikingly, genomics and cytological analyses show that DRM binding, a DRM binding motif, and LIN-54-regulated genes are all autosome-enriched. One paradoxical exception occurs the germline, where DRM binds autosomes but genes down-regulated in DRM mutants are enriched on X chromosomes. We compared embryonic or germline gene expression profile of lin-54 mutants with that of wild-type N2 C. elegans. Embryos were obtained from a strain carrying the partial loss-of-function allele lin-54(n2990) grown at 25C for one generation. Germlines were isolated from lin-54(n3423) null adults that lack detectable lin-54 transcript and protein. We isolated the germline region from the tip until late pachytene stage of meiosis, because nuclei in this region are morphologically similar between wild-type and mutant and are all undergoing X chromosome silencing. 3 biological replicates of each genotype/tissue were examined.
