Project description:Indicated cells were subjected to RNAi against linker histone H1, Nautilus (control), or GFP (control). RNA was isolated and subjected to Affymetrix GeneChIP Drosophila Genome 2.0 arrays RNA was compared from cells treated with RNAi against control (Nautilus in the case of salivary glands or GFP in the case of Kc cells) and linker histone H1. Kc cells were treated once with RNAi and RNA was collected 6 days later.

Project description:Salivary glands or larval ovaries were isolated from transgenic flies expressing RNAi targeting Nautilus (control) or linker histone H1 using a Tub-Gal4 driver. ~200 larvae were used to isolate salivary glands or ovaries, independently. Total RNA was isolated using Trizol reagent following manufacturer's guidelines. Then 5 M-BM-5g of total RNA was separated on a polyacrylamide gel, and 18-29 nt small RNAs were isolated for cloning.

Project description:Linker histones are involved in the formation of higher-order chromatin structure. Although linker histones have been implicated in the regulation of specific genes, it still remains unclear what their principal binding determinants are and how their repressive function in vitro can be reconciled with presumed broad binding in vivo. We generated a full genome, high resolution binding map of linker histone H1 in Drosophila Kc cells, using DamID. H1 binds at similar levels across much of the genome, both in classical euchromatin and heterochromatin. Strikingly, there are pronounced dips of low H1 occupancy around transcription start sites of active genes and at many distant cis-regulatory sites. H1 dips are not due to lack of nucleosomes. Rather, all regions with low binding of H1 show enrichment of the histone variant H3.3 which itself has been linked to high nucleosome turnover. Upon knockdown of H3.3, we find that H1 levels increase at sites previously not covered with H1 with a concomitant increase in nucleosome repeat length. These changes are independent of transcriptional changes. Our results show that the H3.3 protein counteracts association of H1 at genomic sites with high rates of histone turnover. This antagonism provides a mechanism to keep diverse genomic sites in an open chromatin conformation. For this study, we generated DamID profiles of histone H1 and RpII18 in Drosophila Kc167 cells. Additionally, we generated H1 profiles in cells treated with RNAi against white, H3.3B, or H3.3A and H3.3B. Nucleosome positioning profiles were generated in untreated cells and cells treated with RNAi against white, H3.3B, or H3.3A and H3.3B. Profiles of expression changes were generated for H3.3B RNAi and H3.3A and H3.3B RNAi.

Project description:Purpose: In Drosophila larval tissues that undergo endoreplication without cell division, the latest-replicating regions occasionally fail to complete endoreplication, resulting in the establishment of underreplicated (UR) domains of polytene chromosomes. The cause of this phenomenon is poorly understood. Methods: Freshly dissected salivary glands were crosslinked, nuclei were sonicated to shear DNA at an average size of 200 bp, and DNA was purified using a QiaQuick PCR Purification Kit. Sequencing libraries were prepared using the Illumina HiSeq 2500 system. UR regions were identified in aligned reads of the control knockdown by scanning along 5-kb windows, with regions designated as under-replicated if 20 consecutive windows fell below the average per-chromosome read count. Fold change was then calculated between the H1-depleted and control-depleted samples. Results: We found that H1 is required for the underreplication phenomenon in Drosophila salivary glands, as UR regions show substantial increase in copy number upon H1 depletion. Conclusions: Our findings implicate H1 as a critical factor in the formation of UR regions and as an important upstream effector of SUUR.
