Project description:How temporal cues combine with spatial inputs to control gene expression during development is poorly understood. Here, we test the hypothesis that the Drosophila transcription factor E93 controls temporal gene expression by regulating chromatin accessibility. Precocious expression of E93 early in wing development reveals that it can simultaneously activate and deactivate different target enhancers. Notably, the precocious patterns of enhancer activity resemble the wild-type patterns that occur later in development, suggesting that provision of E93 alters the competence of enhancers to respond to spatial cues. Genomic profiling reveals that precocious E93 expression is sufficient to regulate chromatin accessibility at a subset of its targets. These accessibility changes mimic those that normally occur later in development, indicating that precocious E93 accelerates the wild-type developmental program. Further, we find that target enhancers that do not respond to precocious E93 in early wings become responsive after a developmental transition, suggesting that parallel temporal pathways work alongside E93. These findings support a model wherein E93 expression functions as an instructive cue that defines a broad window of developmental time through control of chromatin accessibility.

Project description:In Drosophila melanogaster, successful development relies on the precise coordination of both spatial and temporal regulatory axes. The temporal axis governs stage-specific identity and developmental transitions through a number of genes, collectively forming the Metamorphic Gene Network. Among these, Ecdysone inducible protein 93F (E93) serves as the critical determinant for adult specification, but its mechanism of action remains unclear. Here, we found that, rather than acting mainly as an instructive signal, E93 promotes adult differentiation through the repression of the pupal specifier broad (br). In the absence of E93, sustained high levels of Br during the pupal stage strongly represses pupal-specific enhancers that are essential for the terminal differentiation of the wing. Notably, RNA-seq analysis confirmed that the majority of E93-dependent transcriptomic changes in pupal wings are primarily driven by br repression. In addition, we also show that Br represses the pupal-enhancers during the larval and prepupal stages preventing the premature implementation of the adult genetic program, and that it also dampens the activity of larval enhancers during the latter stages of larval development. This mechanism of action seems to be a derived feature acquired in Diptera, as in the coleopteran Tribolium castaneum, repression of br by E93 is not sufficient to allow adult differentiation. In summary, our study elucidates the crucial role of the intricate interplay between E93 and Br as the governing mechanism in the process of terminal differentiation in Drosophila. This discovery holds significant implications for advancing our understanding of the evolution of insect metamorphosis.

Project description:Many postmitotic tissues coordinate robust cell cycle exit with the progression of terminal differentiation. While the signals involved in initiating cell cycle exit during terminal differentiation for some tissues have been described, less is known about the mechanisms that maintain a stable, non-cycling state. We previously found that chromatin accessibility changes at a subset of rate-limiting cell cycle genes occurs during maintenance of cell cycle exit, suggesting chromatin remodelers may play a key role in maintaining a robust postmitotic state during terminal differentiation. Here we show that the chromatin remodeler Mi-2 is required to ensure a stable, postmitotic state in Drosophila eyes and wings. Mi-2 alters chromatin accessibility and gene expression during cell cycle exit and terminal differentiation. Mi-2 and a transcription factor involved in tissue maturation, E93, close chromatin accessibility at an overlapping subset of potential enhancers that include the rate-limiting mitotic regulator string (cdc25c) and genes involved in the progression of terminal differentiation. E93 is also required for a stable, postmitotic state and we verified in vivo that Mi-2 and E93 cooperate to decommission an enhancer for the essential mitotic regulator string, to coordinate the transition to a postmitotic state with terminal differentiation. Enhancer decommissioning at the string locus provides a molecular explanation for the long-term, nearly irreversible postmitotic state observed in many tissues as terminal differentiation progresses.

Project description:Pulses of the steroid hormone ecdysone act through transcriptional cascades to direct the major developmental transitions during the Drosophila life cycle. These include the prepupal ecdysone pulse, which occurs 10 hours after pupariation and triggers the onset of adult morphogenesis and larval tissue destruction. E93 encodes a transcription factor that is specifically induced by the prepupal pulse of ecdysone, supporting a model proposed by earlier work that it specifies the onset of adult development. Although a number of studies have addressed these functions for E93, little is known about its roles in the salivary gland where the E93 locus was originally identified. Here we show that E93 is required for development through late pupal stages, with mutants displaying defects in adult differentiation and no detectable effect on the destruction of salivary glands. RNA-seq analysis demonstrates that E93 regulates genes involved in development and morphogenesis in the salivary glands, but has little effect on cell death gene expression. We also show that E93 is required to direct the proper timing of ecdysone-regulated gene expression in salivary glands, and that it suppresses earlier transcriptional programs that occur during larval and prepupal stages. These studies support the model that the stage-specific induction of E93 in late prepupae provides a critical signal that defines the end of larval development and the onset of adult differentiation.

Project description:Before zygotic genome activation (ZGA) the quiescent genome undergoes reprogramming to transition into the transcriptionally active state. However, the mechanisms underlying euchromatin establishment during early embryogenesis remain poorly understood. Here, we show that histone H4 lysine-16 acetylation (H4K16ac) is maintained from oocytes to fertilized embryos in Drosophila and mammals. H4K16ac forms large domains that control nucleosome accessibility of promoters prior to ZGA in flies. Maternal depletion of MOF acetyl-transferase leading to H4K16ac loss causes aberrant Pol II recruitment, compromises the 3D organization of the active genomic compartments during ZGA and consequently causes downregulation of post-zygotically expressed genes. Germline depletion of histone deacetylases revealed that other acetyl marks cannot compensate for H4K16ac loss in the oocyte. Moreover, zygotic re-expression of MOF was neither able to restore embryonic viability nor onset of X chromosome dosage compensation. Thus, maternal H4K16ac provides an instructive function to the offspring, priming future gene activation.

Project description:During neuronal wiring, extrinsic cues trigger the local translation of specific mRNAs in axons via cell surface receptors. The coupling of ribosomes to receptors has been proposed as a mechanism linking signals to local translation but it is not known how broadly this mechanism operates, nor whether it can selectively regulate mRNA translation. We report that receptor-ribosome coupling is employed by multiple guidance cue receptors and this interaction is mRNA-dependent. We find that different receptors bind to distinct sets of mRNAs and RNA-binding proteins. Cue stimulation induces rapid dissociation of ribosomes from receptors and the selective translation of receptor-specific mRNAs in retinal axon growth cones. Further, we show that receptor-ribosome dissociation and cue-induced selective translation are inhibited by simultaneous exposure to translation-repressive cues, suggesting a novel mode of signal integration. Our findings reveal receptor-specific interactomes and provide a general model for the rapid, localized and selective control of cue-induced translation.

Project description:Ecdysone-induced protein 93F (E93) regulates local chromatin structure and/or gene transcription, raising the question of whether expression of Ir75c, Ir75b and Ir75a receptors in antenna is affected at the transcriptional level in the absence of this protein. We performed bulk RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) of control and E93RNAi antennae. In control RNA-seq samples, we predicted the existence of seven distinct transcripts encoded by these three receptor genes. Notably, many transcripts initiating from Ir75c do not terminate at the 3’ end of this gene but rather run through the Ir75b and Ir75a exons. Similarly, a majority of transcripts initiating from Ir75b incorporate exons 2-7 of Ir75a. The pattern of transcription is consistent with the absence of canonical transcription termination/polyadenylation sequences downstream of the Ir75c and Ir75b coding regions; such a sequence is only present 3’ of Ir75a. All transcripts initiating from Ir75c are highly up-regulated in the absence of E93, consistent with the ectopic expression of receptor protein. Transcription initiating from Ir75b is strongly diminished, concordant with the loss of Ir75b protein expression. By contrast, Ir75a transcripts levels were not significantly lower in E93RNAi antennae, despite the loss of detectable Ir75a protein.
