Project description:Chromatin insulators are DNA-protein complexes localized throughout the genome capable of establishing independent transcriptional domains. It was previously reported that the Drosophila su(Hw) mRNA physically associates with the gypsy chromatin insulator protein complex within the nucleus and may serve a noncoding function to affect insulator activity. However, how this mRNA is recruited to the gypsy complex is not known. Here we utilized RNA-affinity pull down coupled with mass spectrometry to identify a novel RNA-binding protein, Isha, that associates with su(Hw) mRNA in vitro and in vivo. Isha harbors a conserved RNA recognition motif (RRM) and RNA Polymerase II CTD-interacting domain (CID). We found that Isha physically interacts with total and elongating RNA Pol II and associates with chromatin at the 5’ end of genes in an RNA-dependent manner. Furthermore, ChIP-seq analysis reveals Isha overlaps particularly with gypsy factor CP190 on chromatin. Depletion of Isha reduces enhancer-blocking and barrier activities of the gypsy insulator and disrupts the nuclear localization of insulator bodies. Our results reveal a novel factor that promotes gypsy insulator activity that may act as a nuclear RNA-binding protein adapter for su(Hw) noncoding mRNA.

Project description:There is considerable evidence that insulator elements are likely to play a key role in the organisation of the regulatory architecture of the genome. In Drosophila, one of the best studied insulator elements is the gypsy insulator in the gypsy retrotransposon whose function is dependent on the Su(Hw) Zn-finger DNA binding protein. Although there are several hundred Su(Hw) sites in the genome which are proposed to act as endogenous insulator elements, analysis of the role of the Su(Hw) protein has focussed on the gypsy insulator and few endogenous sites have yet been identified. We have used chromatin immunopurification coupled to genomic microarray analysis to identify Su(Hw) binding sites within a representative region of the Drosophila genome; the 3MB Adh region on chromosome 2L. We have located about 60 Su(Hw) binding sites across this region and this has enabled us to construct a robust new Su(Hw) binding site consensus based on these in vivo sites. In contrast to the gypsy insulator which contains 12 Su(Hw) binding sites within 340bp, the endogenous sites are not present in clusters. We identify two key features of these endogenous Su(Hw) sites. Firstly, in contrast to most analyses of DNA binding protein specificity, we find that strong matches to the binding consensus are good predictors of binding site occupancy. Secondly, examination of Su(Hw) binding site occupancy in 0-20hr embryos, 3rd larval instar brains or 3rd larval imaginal discs reveals a constant pattern of Su(Hw) binding indicating that most , if not all Su(Hw) sites are constitutively occupied. These two features support a constant genomic architectural role for the Su(Hw) protein. Keywords: ChIP-chip

Project description:The Suppressor of Hairy-wing [Su(Hw)] protein is a twelve zinc-finger DNA binding transcriptional regulator. Here, we map the genome wide association of Su(Hw) protein expressed from the novel su(Hw)M393 allele, which encodes a protein with a C350S substitution that inactivates ZF4. These analyses demonstrate that ZF4 is required for association with a subset of Su(Hw) binding sites and suggests that these sites may be primarily associated with insulator function.

Project description:The twelve zinc finger Suppressor of Hairy-wing [Su(Hw)] protein binds thousands of sites in Drosophila genome and is essential for the function of the gypsy insulator. Loss of the globally expressed Su(Hw) protein causes female sterility due to tissue-specific defect limited to female germline. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by next generation sequencing (ChIP-Seq), we determine the extent of tissue-specific binding of Su(Hw) in Drosophila ovary. We demonstrate that Su(Hw) binding sites (SBSs) are largely constitutively occupied in the germline and soma. Our analyses indicate that SBSs fall into several non-uniform classes, as determined by the partner protein distribution and DNA sequence conservation. Further, we show that only a subset of SBSs is required for the female fertility. These sites are maintained in the su(Hw)f zinc finger 10 mutant background, which is fertile but does not support gypsy insulator function. Together, our data are consistent with the model where Su(Hw) serves multiple regulatory roles in the genome, and contribute to understanding of how loss of a single zinc finger affects chromosome localization of a DNA binding protein.

Project description:Specific interactions of the genome with the nuclear lamina (NL) are thought to assist chromosome folding inside the nucleus and to contribute to the regulation of gene expression. High-resolution mapping has recently identified hundreds of large, sharply defined lamina-associated domains (LADs) in the human genome, and suggested that the insulator protein CTCF may help to demarcate these domains. Here, we report the detailed structure of LADs in Drosophila cells, and investigate the putative roles of five insulator proteins in LAD organization. We found that of these five proteins, only SU(HW) binds preferentially at LAD borders and at specific positions inside LADs, while GAF, CTCF, BEAF-32 and DWG are mostly absent from these regions. By knockdown and overexpression studies we demonstrate that SU(HW) weakens LAD – NL interactions by a local antagonistic effect. Our results provide insights into the evolution of LAD organization and reveal a role for SU(HW) in the regulation of genome – NL interactions.
