abstract = {The network of NF-κB-dependent transcription that activates both pro- and anti-inflammatory genes in mammals is still unclear. As NF-κB factors are evolutionarily conserved, we used Drosophila to understand this network. The NF-κB transcription factor Relish activates effector gene expression following Gram-negative bacterial immune challenge. Here, we show, using a genome-wide approach, that the conserved nuclear protein Akirin is a NF-κB co-factor required for the activation of a subset of Relish-dependent genes correlating with the presence of H3K4ac epigenetic marks. A large-scale unbiased proteomic analysis revealed that Akirin orchestrates NF-κB transcriptional selectivity through the recruitment of the Osa-containing-SWI/SNF-like Brahma complex (BAP). Immune challenge in Drosophila shows that Akirin is required for the transcription of a subset of effector genes, but dispensable for the transcription of genes that are negative regulators of the innate immune response. Therefore, Akirins act as molecular selectors specifying the choice between subsets of NF-κB target genes. The discovery of this mechanism, conserved in mammals, paves the way for the establishment of more specific and less toxic anti-inflammatory drugs targeting pro-inflammatory genes.},

abstract = {Transcription of inflammatory genes in innate immune cells is coordinately regulated by transcription factors, including NF-κB, and chromatin modifiers. However, it remains unclear how microbial sensing initiates chromatin remodeling. Here, we show that Akirin2, an evolutionarily conserved nuclear protein, bridges NF-κB and the chromatin remodeling SWI/SNF complex by interacting with BRG1-Associated Factor 60 (BAF60) proteins as well as IκB-ζ, which forms a complex with the NF-κB p50 subunit. These interactions are essential for Toll-like receptor-, RIG-I-, and Listeria-mediated expression of proinflammatory genes including Il6 and Il12b in macrophages. Consistently, effective clearance of Listeria infection required Akirin2. Furthermore, Akirin2 and IκB-ζ recruitment to the Il6 promoter depend upon the presence of IκB-ζ and Akirin2, respectively, for regulation of chromatin remodeling. BAF60 proteins were also essential for the induction of Il6 in response to LPS stimulation. Collectively, the IκB-ζ-Akirin2-BAF60 complex physically links the NF-κB and SWI/SNF complexes in innate immune cell activation. By recruiting SWI/SNF chromatin remodellers to IκB-ζ, transcriptional coactivator for NF-κB, the conserved nuclear protein Akirin2 stimulates pro-inflammatory gene promoters in mouse macrophages during innate immune responses to viral or bacterial infection.},

abstract = {The response of drosophila to bacterial and fungal infections involves two signaling pathways, Toll and Imd, which both activate members of the transcription factor NF-kappaB family. Here we have studied the global transcriptional response of flies to infection with drosophila C virus. Viral infection induced a set of genes distinct from those regulated by the Toll or Imd pathways and triggered a signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) DNA-binding activity. Genetic experiments showed that the Jak kinase Hopscotch was involved in the control of the viral load in infected flies and was required but not sufficient for the induction of some virus-regulated genes. Our results indicate that in addition to Toll and Imd, a third, evolutionary conserved innate immunity pathway functions in drosophila and counters viral infection.},

abstract = {Three Toll-related genes (AeToll1A, AeToll1B and AeToll5) were cloned and characterized from the yellow fever vector mosquito, Aedes aegypti. All three genes exhibited high levels of amino acid sequence similarity with Drosophila melanogaster (Dm)Toll1 and DmTehao (Toll5). AeToll1A and AeToll1B are 1124 and 1076 amino acid residues long, respectively. Both contain a carboxyl extension downstream of the Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domain. AeToll5 is 1007 residues long and, like DmTehao, lacks the carboxyl terminal extension. Expression of these three genes was examined throughout development and after immune challenge. Both AeToll1A and AeToll5, like their Drosophila counterparts, activate transcription of drosomycin promoter in both Aedes and Drosophila cell lines. Deletion of the carboxyl extension of AeToll1A did not result in a further elevated level of the antifungal response. The intracellular signalling process appears to be species specific based on two observations. (1) DmToll is completely inactive in an Aedes cell line, suggesting a higher specificity requirement for DmToll in the intracellular signalling process. (2) Only one of three amino acid residues essential for DmToll function is required for AeToll1A function.},

abstract = {Members of the ADAM superfamily of metalloprotease genes are involved in a number of biological processes, including fertilization, neurogenesis, muscle development, and the immune response. These proteins have been classified into several groups. The prototypic ADAM family is comprised of a pro-domain, a metalloprotease domain, a disintegrin domain, a cysteine-rich region, a transmembrane domain, and a variable cytoplasmic tail. We recently identified a novel member of this superfamily, ADAMDEC1 (decysin). Due to the partial lack of a disintegrin domain and the total lack of a cysteine-rich domain, this protein has been placed in a novel subclass of the ADAM gene family. We have investigated the gene structure of the human and mouse ADAMDEC1 and have revealed a metalloprotease gene cluster on human Chromosome 8p12 comprising ADAMDEC1, ADAM7, and ADAM28. Our results suggest that ADAMDEC1 has arisen by partial gene duplication from an ancestral gene at this locus and has acquired a novel function. ADAMDEC1 is expressed in the immune system, by dendritic cells and macrophages. The relatedness of ADAMDEC1, ADAM7, and ADAM28 suggests that these proteases share a similar function.},

In particular, the molecular characterization of the regulatory pathway controlling the antifungal peptide drosomycin has revealed the importance of Toll receptors in innate immunity. We report here that injection of LPS into flies induces an immune response, suggesting that LPS receptors are used in Drosophila to detect Gram-negative bacteria infection. We have identified in the recently sequenced genome of Drosophila eight genes coding for Toll-like receptors in addition to Toll, which may function as LPS receptors. However, overexpression of a selection of these genes in tissue-culture cells does not result in up-regulation of the antibacterial peptide genes. These results are discussed in light of the recent data from genetic screens aimed at identifying the genes controlling the antibacterial response in Drosophila.},

abstract = {Metchnikowin is a recently discovered proline-rich peptide from Drosophila with antibacterial and antifungal properties. Like most other antimicrobial peptides from insects, its expression is immune-inducible. Here we present evidence that induction of metchnikowin gene expression can be mediated either by the TOLL pathway or by the imd gene product. We show that the gene remains inducible in Toll-deficient mutants, in which the antifungal response is blocked, as well as in imd mutants, which fail to mount an antibacterial response. However, in Toll-deficient;imd double mutants, metchnikowin gene expression can no longer be detected after immune challenge. Our results suggest that expression of this peptide with dual activity can be triggered by signals generated by either bacterial or fungal infection. Cloning of the metchnikowin gene revealed the presence in the 5' flanking region of several putative cis-regulatory motifs characterized in the promoters of insect immune genes: namely, Rel sites, GATA motifs, interferon consensus response elements and NF-IL6 response elements. Establishment of transgenic fly lines in which the GFP reporter gene was placed under the control of 1.5 kb of metchnikowin gene upstream sequences indicates that this fragment is able to confer full immune inducibility and tissue specificity of expression on the transgene.},

abstract = {Drosophila responds to a septic injury by the rapid synthesis of antimicrobial peptides. These molecules are predominantly produced by the fat body, a functional equivalent of mammalian liver, and are secreted into the hemolymph where their concentrations can reach up to 100 microM. Six distinct antibacterial peptides (plus isoforms) and one antifungal peptide have been characterized in Drosophila and their genes cloned. The induction of the gene encoding the antifungal peptide relies on the spätzle/Toll/cactus gene cassette, which is involved in the control of dorsoventral patterning in the embryo, and shows interesting structural and functional similarities with cytokine-induced activation of NF-kappa B in mammalian cells. An additional pathway, dependent on the as yet unidentified imd (for immune-deficiency) gene, is required for the full induction of the antibacterial peptide genes. Mutants deficient for the Toll and imd pathways exhibit a severely reduced survival to fungal and bacterial infections, respectively. Recent data on the molecular mechanisms underlying recognition of non-self are also discussed in this review.},

One of these peptides, the 82-residue anti-gram negative diptericin, is encoded by a single intronless gene and we are investigating the control of expression of this gene. Previous studies using both transgenic experiments and footprint analysis have highlighted the role in the induction of this gene of a 30 nucleotide region which contains three partially overlapping motifs with sequence homology to mammalian NF-kappa B and NF-IL6 response elements and to the GAAANN sequence present in the interferon consensus response elements of some mammalian interferon-induced genes. We now show that the latter sequence binds in immune responsive tissues (fat body, blood cells) of Drosophila a approximately 45 kDa polypeptide which cross-reacts with a polyserum directed against mammalian interferon Regulatory Factor-I. Using a transfection assay of Drosophila tumorous blood cells, we show that the GAAANN sequence positively regulates the activity of the diptericin promoter. We propose that this motif cooperatively interacts with the other response elements in the regulation of the diptericin gene expression.},

The promoter of the single-copy, intronless diptericin gene of Drosophila contains several nucleotide sequences homologous to mammalian cis-regulatory motifs involved in the control of acute phase response genes. Extending our previous studies on the expression of the diptericin gene, we now report a quantitative analysis of the contribution of various putative regulatory elements to the bacterial inducibility of this gene, based on the generation of 60 transgenic fly lines carrying different elements fused to a reporter gene. Our data definitively identify two Kappa B-related motifs in the proximal promoter as the sites conferring inducibility and tissue-specific expression to the diptericin gene. These motifs alone, however, mediate only minimal levels of expression. Additional proximal regulatory elements are necessary to attain some 20% of the full response and we suspect a role for sequences homologous to mammalian IL6 response elements and interferon-gamma responsive sites in this up-regulation. The transgenic experiments also reveal the existence of a distal regulatory element located upstream of -0.6 kb which increases the level of expression by a factor of five.},

abstract = {The Drosophila diptericin gene codes for a 9 kDa antibacterial peptide and is rapidly and transiently expressed in larvae and adults after bacterial challenge. It is also induced in a tumorous Drosophila blood cell line by the addition of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The promoter of this gene contains two 17 bp repeats located closely upstream of the TATA-box and harbouring a decameric kappa B-related sequence. This study reports that the replacement of the two 17 bp repeats by random sequences abolishes bacteria inducibility in transgenic fly lines. In transfected tumorous blood cells, the replacement of both or either of the 17 bp motifs reduces dramatically LPS inducibility, whereas multiple copies significantly increase the level of transcriptional activation by LPS challenge. A specific DNA-protein binding activity is evidenced in cytoplasmic and nuclear extracts of induced blood cells and fat body. It is absent in controls. It is proposed that induction of the diptericin gene mediated by the two 17 bp repeats occurs via a mechanism similar to that of mammalian NF-kappa B.},

abstract = {Diptericins are 9 kDa inducible antibacterial peptides initially isolated from immune haemolymph of Phormia (Diptera). Following the isolation of a Drosophila cDNA encoding a diptericin homologue, we have now cloned a genomic fragment containing the Drosophila diptericin gene. To dissect the regulation of this gene, we have transformed flies with a fusion gene in which the reporter beta-galactosidase gene is under the control of 2.2 kb upstream sequences of the diptericin gene. We show that such a fusion gene is inducible by injection of live bacteria or complete Freund's adjuvant and respects the tissue specific expression pattern of the resident diptericin gene. Our analysis reveals at least four distinct phases in the regulation of this gene: young larvae, late third instar larvae, pupae and adults. This complexity may be related to the presence in the upstream sequences of multiple copies of response elements previously characterized in genes encoding acute phase response proteins in mammals (e.g. NK-kappa B, NF-kappa B related, NF-IL6 response elements).},

abstract = {A key event in the response of cells to proliferative signals is the rapid, transient induction of the c-fos proto-oncogene, which is mediated through the serum response element (SRE) in the fos promoter. Genomic footprinting and transfection experiments suggest that this activation occurs through a ternary complex that includes the serum response factor (SRF) and the ternary complex factor p62. Interaction of p62TCF with the SRF-SRE binary complex requires a CAGGA tract immediately upstream of the SRE. Proteins of the ets proto-oncogene family bind to similar sequences and we have found that a member of this family, Elk-1, forms SRF-dependent ternary complexes with the SRE. Elk-1 and p62TCF have the same DNA sequence requirements and antibodies against Elk-1 block the binding of both proteins. Furthermore, we show that like p62TCF, Elk-1 forms complexes with the yeast SRF-homologue MCM1 but not with yeast ARG80. But ARG80 mutants that convey interaction with p62TCF can also form complexes with Elk-1. The similarity, or even identity, between Elk-1 and p62TCF suggests a novel regulatory role for Ets proteins that is effected through interaction with other proteins, such as SRF. Furthermore, the possible involvement of an Ets protein in the control of c-fos has interesting implications for proto-oncogene cooperation in cellular growth control.},
