(Submitter supplied) LEM Domain proteins are key components of the nuclear lamina. Mutations in LEM-D proteins cause dystrophic diseases associated with compromised adult stem cells, yet it remains unclear how LEM-D proteins support stem cell function. Studies described here use the homologue of the LEM-D protein emerin in Drosophila, Otefin (Ote) as a model to understand LEM-D protein function in adult stem cells. Loss of Ote causes female sterility due to a complex germline stem cell (GSC) phenotype that includes both an early block in germline differentiation followed by GSC death. more...

(Submitter supplied) Nuclear lamina (NL) contributes to tissue homeostasis. In Drosophila, compromised NL blocks differentiation and causes loss of germline stem cells (GSCs) due to activation of the Chk2 checkpoint kinase. Checkpoint activation occurs upon loss of the NL protein Drosophila emerin or its partner Barrier-to-autointegration factor (BAF). As NL has long been thought to interact with specific genomic loci and regulate transcription, we examined transcriptional changes in emerin-/- and baf KD ovaries. more...

(Submitter supplied) Purpose: Piwi family protein Aubergine (Aub) maintains genome integrity in late germ cells of the Drosophila ovary through piRNA-mediated repression of transposon activities. Although it is highly expressed in germline stem cells (GSCs) and early progeny, it remains unclear if it plays any roles in early GSC lineage development. Results: The study reveals a novel function of Aub in GSCs and their progeny, which promotes translation of self-renewal and differentiation factors by directly binding to its target mRNAs and interacting with translational initiation factors.

(Submitter supplied) The maintenance and differentiation of highly potent animal stem cells generates an epigenetic cycle that underlies development. Drosophila female germline stem cells (GSC) produce cystoblast daughters that differentiate into nurse cells and oocytes. Developmental chromatin analysis profiling the differentiation of GSCs into cystoblasts and NCs of increasing ploidy shows that cystoblasts start developing by forming heterochromatin while in a transient syncytial state, the germline cyst, reminiscent of early embryonic cells. more...

(Submitter supplied) Abstract: During Drosophila oogenesis, germline stem cell (GSC) identity is maintained largely by preventing the expression of factors that promote differentiation. This is accomplished via the activity of several genes acting either in the GSC or its niche. The translational repressors, Nanos and Pumilio, act in GSCs to prevent differentiation, likely by inhibiting translation of early differentiation factors, while niche signals prevent differentiation by silencing transcription of the differentiation factor Bam. more...

Comparison of ovaries from bag of marbles (bam) mutants and stonewall (stwl) bam double mutants. Stwl is a DNA-associated protein required for germline stem cell (GSC) maintenance; Bam is a key differentiation factor. Results provide insight into the role of Stwl in maintaining germ cell identity.

(Submitter supplied) The association of genomic loci to the nuclear periphery is proposed to facilitate cell type-specific gene repression and influence cell fate decisions. However, the interplay between gene position and expression remains incompletely understood, in part because the proteins that position genomic loci at the nuclear periphery remain unidentified. Here, we used an Oligopaint-based HiDRO screen targeting ∼1000 genes to discover novel regulators of nuclear architecture in Drosophila cells.We identified the heterochromatin-associated protein Stonewall (Stwl) as a factor promoting perinuclear chromatin positioning. more...

(Submitter supplied) Genome organization can regulate gene expression and promote cell fate transitions. The differentiation of germline stem cells (GSCs) to oocytes in Drosophila involves changes in genome organization mediated by heterochromatin and the nuclear pore complex (NPC). Heterochromatin represses germ-cell genes during differentiation and NPCs anchor these silenced genes to the nuclear periphery, maintaining silencing to allow for oocyte development. more...

(Submitter supplied) Germline stem cell self-renewal and differentiation are required for sustained production of gamates. GSC differentiation in drosophila requires expression of setdb1 by the somatic niche, however its function is not known. We used microarray analysis to determine what genes does setdb1 regulate to affect differentiation.

(Submitter supplied) Abstract: Protein homeostasis (proteostasis) is critical for cell function, and its decline is proposed as a hallmark of aging. Somatic stem cells (SCs) have a unique ability to maintain their proteostatic capacity, yet mechanisms to achieve this remain incompletely understood. Here, we describe and characterize a ‘proteostatic checkpoint’ in Drosophila intestinal SCs (ISCs). Following a breakdown of proteostasis, ISCs coordinate cell cycle arrest with protein aggregate clearance by Atg8-mediated activation of the Nrf2-like transcription factor cap-n-collar C (CncC), which induces the cell cycle inhibitor Dacapo and proteolytic genes. more...
