View SamplesWe perform RNA sequencing and ribosome profiling time course experiments to examine the effect of fully dysregulating all let-7 targets (in let-7(n2853) animals), partially dysregulating only LIN41 (in lin-41(xe11) animals) or fully dysregulating all let-7 targets while partially dysregulating LIN41 in lin-41(xe11); let-7(n2853) double mutant animals. We conclude that effects on gene expression in let-7 mutant animals are largely and quantitatively explained by dysregulation of LIN41 as its primary target. Furthermore, we identify direct LIN41 target genes regulated on the level of translation or mRNA abundance. Overall design: Total RNA-sequencing time course experiments sampling synchronized worm populations of different genetic backgrounds every two hours over the course of development from late L2/early L3 stage to late L4/Young adult stage.

View SamplesRNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are critical regulators of gene expression and elucidating the interactions of RBPs with their RNA targets is necessary to understand how combinations of RBPs control transcriptome expression. The Quaking-related (QR) sub-family of STAR domain RBPs includes developmental regulators and tumor suppressors such as C. elegans GLD-1, which functions as a master regulator of germ line development. To understand how GLD-1 interacts with the transcriptome, we identified GLD-1 associated mRNAs by a ribonomic approach. The scale of GLD-1 mRNA interactions allowed us to determine rules governing GLD-1 target selection and to derive a predictive model where GLD-1 association with mRNA is based on the number and strength of 7-mer GLD-1 binding elements (GBEs) within UTRs. GLD-1/mRNA interactions were quantified, and predictions were verified both in vitro and in live animals, including by transplantation experiments where weak and strong GBEs imposed translational repression of increasing strength on a non-target mRNA.Importantly, this study provides a unique quantitative picture of how an RBP interacts with its mRNA targets. As combinatorial regulation by multiple RBPs is thought to regulate gene expression, quantification of RBP/mRNA interactions should be a way to predict and potentially modify biological outcomes of complex posttranscriptional regulatory networks, and our analysis suggests that such an approach is possible.

View SamplesTranscriptional regulatory networks (TRNs) provide insight into cellular behavior by describing interactions between transcription factors (TFs) and their gene targets. The Assay for Transposase Accessible Chromatin (ATAC)-seq, coupled with transcription-factor motif analysis, provides indirect evidence of chromatin binding for hundreds of TFs genome-wide. Here, we propose methods for TRN inference in a mammalian setting, using ATAC-seq data to influence gene expression modeling. We rigorously test our methods in the context of T Helper Cell Type 17 (Th17) differentiation, generating new ATAC-seq data to complement existing Th17 genomic resources (plentiful gene expression data, TF knock-outs and ChIP-seq experiments). In this resource-rich mammalian setting our extensive benchmarking provides quantitative, genome-scale evaluation of TRN inference combining ATAC-seq and RNA-seq data. We refine and extend our previous Th17 TRN, using our new TRN inference methods to integrate all Th17 data (gene expression, ATAC-seq, TF KO, ChIP-seq). We highlight new roles for individual TFs and groups of TFs (“TF-TF modules”) in Th17 gene regulation. Given the popularity of ATAC-seq (a widely adapted protocol with high resolution and low sample input requirements), we anticipate that application of our methods will improve TRN inference in new mammalian systems and be of particular use for rare, uncharacterized cell types.
