Project description:TAF7, a component of the TFIID complex that nucleates the assembly of transcription preinitiation complexes, also independently interacts with and regulates the enzymatic activities of other transcription factors, including P-TEFb, TFIIH and CIITA, ensuring an orderly progression in transcription initiation. Since not all TAFs are required in terminally differentiated cells, we examined the essentiality of TAF7 in cells at different developmental stages in vivo. Germ-line disruption of the TAF7 gene is embryonic lethal between 3.5 and 5.5 days post coitus. TAF7-deleted mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) globally cease transcription and stop proliferating. In contrast, whereas TAF7 is essential for the differentiation and proliferation of immature thymocytes, it is not required for subsequent, proliferation-independent differentiation of lineage committed thymocytes or their egress into the periphery. TAF7 deletion in peripheral CD4+ T cells affects only a small number of transcripts. However, TAF7-deleted T cells are not able to undergo activation and expansion in response to antigenic stimuli. These findings suggest that TAF7 is essential for proliferation but not for proliferation-independent differentiation. We previously provided evidence that TAF7 is a regulator of the early steps of transcription initiation, that it affects the expression of about 65% of transcripts in 293 kidney cells, and of those, some are TAF1-dependent while others are TAF1-independent. Therefore, we next asked whether TAF7 is dispensable for a subset of embryonic fibroblast genes or whether it is required globally. Both TAF7f/f and TAF7+/+ MEF lines were infected by MSCV Cre-GFP retroviruses, and the infected cells (GFP+) were isolated by FACS at 24, 48 and 72 hours post infection. Uninfected cells from each line were harvested at the same time, collected by FACS and processed simultaneously to be used as controls. The experiments were performed in triplicate. All RNAs were extracted using shredders and the Qiagen RNeasy mini kit and their quality assayed before using for hybridization. Total RNA from each of the triplicates was hybridized on the Affymetrix exon array. All exon array data were analyzed with Affymetrix Expression Console SoftwareTM (version 1.1). The Robust Multi-array Analysis (RMA) algorithm was used for gene intensity analysis. Only genes in the M-bM-^@M-^\coreM-bM-^@M-^] set, which represents RefSeq and full-length GenBank mRNAs, were included in the analysis.

These findings suggest that TAF7 is essential for proliferation but not for proliferation-independent differentiation. The T cells are purified spleen CD4+ T cells coming either from TAF7f/- 8EIII-cre+ (TAF7 -/-) or TAF7 f/- 8EIII-cre - (TAF7+/-). The cells were purified by FACS based on cell surface marker expression: high TCRbeta and CD4 expression. The cells are enriched in naive CD4 T cells based on their low level of CD44 surface expression. All RNAs were extracted using shredders and the Qiagen RNeasy mini kit and their quality assayed before using for hybridization. Total RNA was hybridized on the Affymetrix exon array. All exon array data were analyzed with Affymetrix Expression Console SoftwareTM (version 1.1). The Robust Multi-array Analysis (RMA) algorithm was used for gene intensity analysis. Only genes in the "core" set, which represents RefSeq and full-length GenBank mRNAs, were included in the analysis.

Project description:TFIID is a general transcription factor required for transcription of most protein-coding genes by RNA polymerase II. TAF7L is an X-linked germ cell-specific paralogue of TAF7, which is a generally expressed component of TFIID. Here we report the generation of Taf7l mutant mice by homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells using the Cre-loxP strategy. While spermatogenesis is completed in Taf7l mutant mice, the weight of Taf7l mutant testis is decreased and the amount of sperm in the epididymis is sharply reduced. Mutant epididymal sperm exhibit abnormal morphology including folded tails. Sperm motility is significantly reduced, and Taf7l mutant males are fertile with reduced litter size. Microarray profiling reveals that the abundance of six gene transcripts (including Fscn1) in Taf7l mutant testis decreases by > 2-fold. In particular, FSCN1 is an F-action-bundling protein and thus may be critical for normal sperm morphology and sperm motility. Although deficiency of Taf7l may be compensated in part by Taf7, Taf7l has apparently evolved new specialized functions in the gene-selective transcription in male germ-cell differentiation. Our mouse studies suggest that mutations in human TAF7L gene might be implicated in X-linked oligozoospermia in men. Experiment Overall Design: Mice on C57BL/6J strain background were selected. Testes from Taf7l mutant and wild type littermates at 8-weeks old were dissected.

Project description:Gene expression timeseries analysis of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF) during differentiation to mature adipocytes with a 27.648 element murine cDNA microarray. Three independent time series experiments of MEF adipocyte differentiation were performed in reference design. RNA from 7 time points (0d, 1d, 2d, 3d, 4d, 6d, 10d) was hybridized against RNA from the preconfluent stage to study the gene expression profile over the whole differentiation process.
