Neuronal ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granules undergo remodeling in response to Tyramine.

(A, B) Cell bodies of adult Mushroom Body (MB) γ neurons stained with anti-Imp (A, B, green in A’, B’) and anti-Me31B (A’, B’, red in A’, B’) antibodies. Brain explants were incubated for 30 min in saline (A–A’, control) or in saline supplemented with 10 mM Tyramine (B–B”). Note that most of the cell body volume is occupied by the nucleus, and thus that the cytoplasm is visible as a ring on confocal sections. Scale bar in A, B: 5 µm. (C) Schematic representation of an adult Drosophila head, with MBs highlighted. The morphology of a single MB γ neuron is represented in red. The region imaged to analyze RNP granule behavior is boxed (turquoise dotted lines). (D, E) Normalized numbers of Imp- (D) or Me31B- (E) containing granules (per image field). Individual data points were color-coded based on the experimental replicate they belong to. Three (D) to four (E) replicates were performed and the mean value of each replicate is indicated as a symbol (triangle). At least 20 (D) or 12 (E) data points were collected for each replicate. ***, p<0.001 (t-test on individual data points). n.s. stands for not significant. (F) Distribution of Me31B partition coefficients. Partition coefficients were estimated by dividing the intensity of Me31B signal in individual RNP granules to the intensity of the cytoplasmic diffuse pool (see Materials and methods) and calculated for each granule detected in the imaged fields. The individual data points displayed on the graph were extracted from a single replicate. Three replicates were performed and the mean value of each is indicated as a symbol (triangle). Number of RNP granules: 622 granules distributed across 18 fields (control), 777 granules distributed across 18 fields (+ Tyramine). ***, p<0.001 (t-test on individual data points). Note that the p-value obtained when comparing the distributions of replicate means is 0.7 (Mann–Whitney test). For the list of values used to generate the graphs shown in D–F see Figure 1—source data 1.

Brain explants were incubated for 30 min in saline (control) or in saline supplemented with 10 mM Tyramine (+ Tyr). For the recovery condition (+ Tyr + recovery), brains were transferred back to regular saline after Tyramine treatment and incubated for 60 min. Two and three replicate experiments were performed to monitor Me31B and Imp condensation respectively. Mean values were calculated for each replicate and their average is shown for each condition. Error bars represent S.E.M. (D) Normalized numbers of Imp-containing granules (per image field). Kir2.1 was expressed under the control of the tub-Gal80ts;;OK107-Gal4 driver.

At least 45 cells and five movies were analyzed per condition. (C) Normalized number of cells with ScFv-GFP cytoplasmic foci (red) observed for each time point in brain explants treated with 10 mM Tyramine. Numbers of cells are normalized so that one represents for each movie the maximal number of cells with ScFv-GFP foci (n = 5 movies). Fluorescence intensity of GCamp3.0 is shown for comparison (green; see Figure 3F). Tyramine was added at t = 2 min (orange arrow). Error bars correspond to S.E.M.

Figure 6—figure supplement 1
Model of Tyramine signaling and its impact on MB neuronal ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granules.

Based on our data, we propose that Tyramine signals through TyrR-expressing neurons to generate calcium transients in Mushroom Body neurons. Calcium transients in turn activate CamkII, thus promoting the partial disassembly of Imp+ Me31+ neuronal RNP granules and the translation of granule-associated mRNAs such as profilin.
