Periodic Lunatic fringe Expression Is Controlled during Segmentation by a Cyclic Transcriptional Enhancer Responsive to Notch Signaling  Aixa V. Morales, Yuko Yasuda, David Ish-Horowicz  Developmental Cell  Volume 3, Issue 1, Pages 63-74 (July 2002) DOI: 10.1016/S1534-5807(02)00211-3

Figure 1 Expression of Lfng in the PSM Is Controlled by Cyclic Initiation of Transcription (A–D) In situ hybridization on chicken embryos (HH11) using an Lfng cDNA probe (ex) or an Lfng first intron probe (in) shows similarly restricted expression of Lfng processed transcripts (A) and Lfng nascent transcripts (B). Close-up views of Lfng-expressing cells in the PSM show processed, cytoplasmic transcripts (red, white arrows [C]), and 1–2 dots of intron-containing transcripts (red, white arrows) in the nuclei (green [D]). (E–G) Similar patterns of the expression of Lfng mRNA (left in each panel) and Lfng nascent transcripts (right in each panel) in bisected caudal portions of chicken embryos at different stages of oscillating gene expression (phases I–III; Maroto and Pourquié, 2001; slightly advanced in some cases; arrow in [G]). The staining reaction was developed four to five times longer for the intron probe than for the cDNA probe. Arrowheads point to the most recently completely formed somite boundary, and rostral is uppermost. Somite and prospective somite (presomite) nomenclature, according to Pourquié and Tam (2001), is indicated in (F). The scale bar represents 150 μm in (A) and (B), 200 μm in (E)–(G), and 15 μm in (C) and (D). Developmental Cell 2002 3, 63-74DOI: (10.1016/S1534-5807(02)00211-3)

Figure 2 An 11 kb 5′ Fragment of the Lfng Gene Drives Cyclic Reporter Expression in the PSM in Synchrony with Endogenous Lfng (A–E) Patterns of β-galactosidase expression in the transgenic embryos for mlf(11)lacZ by X-gal staining (A–C and E) and endogenous Lfng expression in wild-type embryos by in situ hybridization (D). (A) 6.5 dpc, in the mesoderm and primitive streak (arrow). (B) 7.5 dpc, in PSM, somites (so), and head mesoderm (hm). (C) 8.5 dpc, in somites and PSM. (D and E) 9.5 dpc, broader domain of β-galactosidase expression (E) than that of endogenous Lfng expression (D). (F and G) Endogenous Lfng expression, in 10.5 dpc embryos. Positioning of presomite −I is only illustrative. (H and I) Dynamic expression of lacZ in the PSM of mlf(11)lacZ transgenic embryos is identical to that of Lfng mRNA (cf. [F] and [G]). (J and K) Cyclic expression of lacZ in mLF(11)lacZ embryos correlates with somite formation. The left PSM in each panel was fixed immediately, and the partner, right PSM was first cultured for 60 min (J) or 90 min (K) before both halves were hybridized with lacZ. (L and M) Synchronized expression of transgenic lacZ (left) and endogenous Lfng (right) transcripts in bisected posterior portions of the mlf(11)lacZ embryos. lacZ mRNA can persist longer in the broad posterior band (2/13 embryos; bracket in [M]). The scale bar represents 200 μm in (A), 230 μm in (B) and (C), 300 μm in (D) and (E), and 160 μm in (F)–(M). Developmental Cell 2002 3, 63-74DOI: (10.1016/S1534-5807(02)00211-3)

Figure 3 Deletion Analysis of Lfng PSM Regulatory Elements (A) Lfng genomic mapping and series of deletion constructs (abbreviated name on the left column). The black box represents the β-globin minimal promoter, and the arrow indicates the transcription start site. The number of embryos analyzed by X-gal staining in the whole embryo and/or lacZ in situ hybridization in the PSM is shown (N°), distinguishing the number of transient transgenic embryos (T) from the embryos from stable lines (E). In brackets is the number of independent stable lines that were generated. Figure 5 is labeled similarly. The extent of consistent expression in the PSM or somites (SOM) are indicated. ND, not determined; X, XbaI; B, BamHI; R, EcoRI; V, EcoRV; H, HindIII; N, NotI. (B–E) In situ hybridization of deleted Lfng PSM regulatory elements in 9.5 dpc mouse embryos. A 2.3 kb Lfng fragment drives lacZ reporter expression in the PSM and entire formed somites (r, rostral; c, caudal compartments), as seen for the mlf(11)lacZ transgene (B). In mlf(1.8)lacZ (C), mlf(1.5)lacZ (D), and mlf(1.1)lacZ (E) embryos, expression is reduced in the PSM and restricted to rostral (r) somite compartments. (F and G) 10.5 dpc mlf(2.3)lacZ embryos show dynamic lacZ pattern of expression in the PSM. (H and I) The reversed 2.3 kb fragment imposes low-level but dynamic expression on a heterologous β-globin minimal promoter after extended staining (mlf(REV)lacZ; Figure 5). (J and K) Coexpression of mesp2 (left) and Lfng (right) in the same, rostral compartments of presumptive somites in bisected posterior portions of 10.5 dpc embryos. The scale bar represents 190 μm in (B), (D), and (E), 150 μm in (C), 130 μm in (F)–(I), and 110 μm in (J) and (K). Developmental Cell 2002 3, 63-74DOI: (10.1016/S1534-5807(02)00211-3)

Figure 4 The 2.3 kb Lfng Cyclic Promoter Is Functionally Conserved between Mouse and Human (A) The mouse and human Lfng cyclic promoters, showing three regions of sequence homology (A, B, and C), which are aligned below. It should be noted that block A corresponds to the sequence referred to by Cole et al., presented in this issue, as region 2 (FCE1). The square boxes in the sequences indicate the conserved predicted CBF1 binding sites, and E and N boxes. Underlined sequences in block C points to the CCAAT box, several Sp1 binding sites, and the TATA-like box. Putative transcription start sites (TSSs) determined by 5′-RACE and analysis of ESTs are indicated by arrows (see Experimental Procedures). (B and C) Dynamic lacZ transcript expression driven by the 2.6 kb HindIII-NotI fragment of human Lfng. The scale bar represents 140 μm.

Figure 5 Modular Organization of the Clock Response Elements in the 2.3 kb Lfng Promoter Diagram of the constructs and schematic representation of their expression patterns in the PSM and last formed somite. The PSM posterior to presomite −I is subdivided into anterior (A) and posterior (P) regions, and the prospective somites and formed somites into rostral (R) and caudal (C) compartments, and levels of expression in each region indicated using different intensities of grays. ⌖ represents cyclic activity in the PSM; when dark filled, cyclic activity persists but is disturbed. The asterisks in construct mLF(CBF1-mut12)lacZ indicate mutated conserved CBF1 binding sites. Developmental Cell 2002 3, 63-74DOI: (10.1016/S1534-5807(02)00211-3)

Figure 6 Analysis by In Situ Hybridization of Reporter lacZ Expression in 10.5 Dpc Embryos Transgenic for Cyclic Promoter Deletions Two examples are shown for each construct, as labeled. The brackets in each panel indicate cycling expression domains. The arrow in (A) shows the somite I/II boundary. The scale bar represents 130 μm.

Figure 7 Analysis of Cyclic Lfng Expression in Notch Signaling Pathway Mutants Residual dynamic expression (brackets) in caudal regions of 10.5 dpc Dl3−/− ([A–C]; n = 12) and Dl1−/− embryos ([D–F]; n = 15), but not in 9 dpc CBF1−/− embryos ([G–I]; n = 5). (A–C) In Dl3−/− embryos, cyclic expression is superimposed on a background of broad expression throughout the PSM, and the anterior domain is broadened (arrow). (D–F) Lfng levels in the Dl1−/− PSM are reduced even further, and anterior expression is reduced to very few cell (arrows). (D and E) Dynamic posterior-most expression is indicated by arrowheads at sites of expression. (G–I) Reduced Lfng expression throughout most of the PSM of CBF1−/− embryos is not dynamic. Expression at the anterior PSM is relatively high and broad (arrows), resembling the equivalent region in the Dl3−/− embryos more than in Dl1−/− embryos. Embryos in (A)–(C) and (D)–(I) were stained 3- and 10-fold longer, respectively, than wild-type and heterozygous embryos. The scale bar represents 100 μm in (A)–(F) and 125 μm in (G)–(I). (J) Summary of the opposing activities of the Notch signaling ligands Dl1 and Dl3 on the Lfng pattern of expression in the PSM. (K) A summary of the complex organization of the Lfng 2.3 kb cyclic promoter indicating candidate sequence blocks through which the Dl1 and Dl3 ligands may exert their actions, most probably directly for block A and indirectly through block C.
