Dnmt2 genes are highly conserved tRNA methyltransferases with biological roles in cellular stress responses. The absence of obvious mutant phenotypes under laboratory conditions suggested a function for Dnmt2 under non-physiological conditions. Indeed, Dnmt2 has recently been implicated in various aspects of the cellular stress response and the tRNA methyltransferase activity of Dnmt2 has been shown to interfere with stress-induced fragmentation of various tRNAs. We used adult animals and small RNA sequencing during a heat stress experiment to determine the tRNA fragment abundance and identities in wild-type and Dnmt2 mutant somatic tissues. Dnmt2 mutants produced tRNA fragments with different identities when compared to wild-type controls, indicating the accumulation of non-physiological tRNA-derived molecules in tissues without Dnmt2. Overall design: 6 samples examined: heterozygous and Dnmt2 mutant under control, heat shock and recovery conditions

View SamplesDnmt2 genes are highly conserved tRNA methyltransferases with biological roles in cellular stress responses. Dnmt2 has recently been implicated in transposon silencing in Drosophila but the exact molecular mechanisms are unclear. Adult Dnmt2 mutants were heat shocked and RNA sequencing was performed on visible high-molecular weight RNAs to determine the identity of up-regulated transposons. Dnmt2 mutants accumulated almost all families of transposons after heat shock, indicating a general mis-regulation of transposon silencing in Dnmt2 mutants during the stress response. Overall design: one sample, excised, electroeluted and pooled RNA of different molecular weight, Dnmt2 mutant during recovery from a single heat shock

View SamplesSmall RNAs (sRNA) that act by base pairing with trans-encoded mRNAs modulate metabolism in response to a variety of environmental stimuli. Here, we describe an Hfq-binding sRNA (FnrS) whose expression is induced upon a shift from aerobic to anaerobic conditions and which acts to down regulate the levels of a variety of mRNAs encoding metabolic enzymes. Anaerobic induction in minimal medium depends strongly on FNR but is also affected by ArcA and CRP. Whole genome expression analysis showed that the levels of at least 32 mRNAs are down regulated upon FnrS overexpression, 15 of which are predicted to base pair with FnrS by TargetRNA. The sRNA is highly conserved across its entire length in numerous enterobacteria, and mutation analysis revealed that two separate regions of FnrS base pair with different sets of target mRNAs. The majority of the target genes previously reported to be down regulated in an FNR-dependent manner lack recognizable FNR binding sites. We thus suggest that FnrS extends the FNR regulon and increases the efficiency of anaerobic metabolism by repressing the synthesis of enzymes that are not needed under these conditions.
