A simple MiMIC based approach for tagging endogenous genes to visualise live transcription in Drosophila.
Live imaging of transcription in the Drosophila embryo using the MS2 or PP7 systems is transforming our understanding of transcriptional regulation. However, insertion of MS2/PP7 stem loops into endogenous genes requires laborious CRISPR genome editing. Here we exploit the previously described Minos-mediated integration cassette (MiMIC) transposon system in Drosophila to establish a method for simply and rapidly inserting MS2/PP7 cassettes into any of the thousands of genes carrying a MiMIC insertion. In addition to generating a variety of stem loop donor fly stocks, we have made new stocks expressing the complementary coat proteins fused to different fluorescent proteins. We show the utility of this MiMIC-based approach by MS2/PP7 tagging and live imaging transcription of endogenous genes and the long non-coding RNA, roX1, in the embryo. We also present live transcription data from larval brains, the wing disc and ovary, thereby extending the tissues that can be studied using the MS2/PP7 system. Overall, this first high throughput method for tagging mRNAs in Drosophila will facilitate the study of transcription dynamics of thousands of endogenous genes in a range of Drosophila tissues.
期刊介绍:
Development’s scope covers all aspects of plant and animal development, including stem cell biology and regeneration. The single most important criterion for acceptance in Development is scientific excellence. Research papers (articles and reports) should therefore pose and test a significant hypothesis or address a significant question, and should provide novel perspectives that advance our understanding of development. We also encourage submission of papers that use computational methods or mathematical models to obtain significant new insights into developmental biology topics. Manuscripts that are descriptive in nature will be considered only when they lay important groundwork for a field and/or provide novel resources for understanding developmental processes of broad interest to the community.
Development includes a Techniques and Resources section for the publication of new methods, datasets, and other types of resources. Papers describing new techniques should include a proof-of-principle demonstration that the technique is valuable to the developmental biology community; they need not include in-depth follow-up analysis. The technique must be described in sufficient detail to be easily replicated by other investigators. Development will also consider protocol-type papers of exceptional interest to the community. We welcome submission of Resource papers, for example those reporting new databases, systems-level datasets, or genetic resources of major value to the developmental biology community. For all papers, the data or resource described must be made available to the community with minimal restrictions upon publication.
To aid navigability, Development has dedicated sections of the journal to stem cells & regeneration and to human development. The criteria for acceptance into these sections is identical to those outlined above. Authors and editors are encouraged to nominate appropriate manuscripts for inclusion in one of these sections.
