View SamplesThe aim of the experiment was to determine if changes in nuclear phosphoinositides induced by depletion of PIP4K2B impacts on gene expression through a specific phosphoinositide interaction site on TAF3. TAF3 is a core promoter complex protein that contains a PHD finger that interacts with H3K4me3. We determined that The TAF3 PHD finger also interacted with phosphoinositides and generated mutants of TAF3 that were unable to interact with phosphoinositides but still were capable of interacting with H3K4me3. PIP4K2B depletion enhances C2C12 myoblast differentiation. We depleted the endogenous TAF3 from C2C12 myoblast cells and rescued the cells with either a wild type TAF3 or a mutant unable to interact with PI (KK-TAF3). These cells were then maintained as controls or depeleted of PIP4K2B. The cells were then differentiated for two days or were treated wtih a etoposide. We aimed to identify genes that were reguated by PIP4K2B that required an intact phosphoinositide binding site.

View SamplesMechanisms composing Drosophila's clock are conserved within the animal kingdom. To learn how such clocks influence behavioral and physiological rhythms, we determined the complement of circadian transcripts in adult Drosophila heads. High-density oligonucleotide arrays were used to collect data in the form of three 12-point time course experiments spanning a total of 6 days. Analyses of 24 hr Fourier components of the expression patterns revealed significant oscillations for 400 transcripts. Based on secondary filters and experimental verifications, a subset of 158 genes showed particularly robust cycling and many oscillatory phases. Circadian expression was associated with genes involved in diverse biological processes, including learning and memory/synapse function, vision, olfaction, locomotion, detoxification, and areas of metabolism. Data collected from three different clock mutants (per0, tim01, and ClkJrk), are consistent with both known and novel regulatory mechanisms controlling circadian transcription (Claridge-Chang et al., Neuron. 2001 Nov 20;32(4):657-71).

View SamplesCircadian clocks are temporally aligned to the environment via signals, or Zeitgebers, such as daily light and temperature cycles, food availability, and social behavior. In this study, we show that genome-wide expression profiles from temperature-entrained flies show a dramatic difference in the presence or absence of a thermocycle. Whereas transcription appears to be modified globally by changes in temperature, there is a specific set of transcripts that continue to oscillate in constant conditions following temperature entrainment. These transcripts show a significant overlap with a previously defined set of transcripts oscillating in response to a photocycle. Further, these overlapping transcripts maintain the same mutual phase relationships after entrainment by temperature or light. Comparison of the collective temperature- and light-entrained circadian phases indicates that natural environmental light and temperature cycles cooperatively entrain the circadian clock. These findings suggest that a single transcriptional clock in the adult fly head is able to integrate information from both light and temperature.
