Roles of Polycomb group proteins Enhancer of zeste (E(z)) and Polycomb (Pc) during metamorphosis and larval leg regeneration in the flour beetle Tribolium castaneum.

Abstract:

:Many organisms both undergo dramatic morphological changes during post-embryonic development and also regenerate lost structures, but the roles of epigenetic regulators in such processes are only beginning to be understood. In the present study, the functions of two histone modifiers were examined during metamorphosis and larval limb regeneration in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum. Polycomb (Pc), a member of Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1), and Enhancer of zeste (E(z)), a member of Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), were silenced in larvae using RNA interference. In the absence of Pc, the head appendages of adults transformed into a leg-like morphology, and the legs and wings assumed a metathoracic identity, indicating that Pc acts to specify proper segmental identity. Similarly, silencing of E(z) led to homeotic transformation of legs and wings. Additional defects were also observed in limb patterning as well as eye morphogenesis, indicating that PcG proteins play critical roles in imaginal precursor cells. In addition, larval legs and antennae failed to re-differentiate when either Pc or E(z) was knocked down, indicating that histone modification is necessary for proper blastema growth and differentiation. These findings indicate that PcG proteins play extensive roles in postembryonic plasticity of imaginal precursor cells.
