Increase in Notch-dependent transcription occurs at gastrulation.

(A) Mean profile of activity of the Notch-responsive m5/m8 [II] enhancer during nc14. (B) Heatmap showing m5/m8 [II] activity in all MSE cells over time, arrowhead indicates the transition point. (C) Proportion of active cells in each embryo that increase levels of m5/m8 [II] transcription at gastrulation (left; median, Q1/Q3 and SD shown) and examples of individual m5/m8 [II] transcription traces with ∼2x increase (yellow) or inflection only (orange). Dotted lines indicate mean transcription levels in the 15 min before and after gastrulation. (D) Fraction of tracked nuclei that are actively transcribing during nc14. (E) Still frame showing tracked nuclei color-coded for the total transcription produced by each nuclei (left) and by whether they exhibit a ∼2x increase in levels (right). (F) Schematic drawing of the forces generated during gastrulation. A cross-section with the different regions along the dorso-ventral axis (top) and top view from the ventral side (bottom) are shown. The most ventral part of the mesoderm (red-shaded) localizes Myosin II (yellow) apically, which generates apical constrictions and leads to tension generated towards the anterior and posterior ends of the embryo, producing ventral movement from the mesoderm, mesectoderm and neuroectoderm cells. (G) Correlation between the time at which mean levels of transcription increase in an embryo and the timing of three events during gastrulation. Each dot indicates an embryo from a collection of different Notch-responsive enhancers, promoters and landing sites (n=55 videos). Panels A-G were obtained by re-analyzing data from Falo-Sanjuan et al., 2019. Panel F has been adapted from Figure 6B from Martin, 2020 and Figure 1 from Leptin, 1999.

(D) Mean profile of activity of m5/m8 [II] with different promoters (peve, pm7 and psimE), aligned by onset times. Light green plots (m5/m8-peve [II]) are the same as shown in Figure 1. Mean transcription profiles show mean and SEM (shaded area) of MS2 fluorescent traces from all cells combined from multiple embryos (n embryo numbers indicated in each). (E) Correlation between the fold increase in transcription levels after gastrulation and the average difference in Z positions before and after gastrulation, which varies depending on the specific orientation each embryo was mounted. Each dot indicates an embryo from a collection of different Notch-responsive enhancers, promoters and landing sites (n=55 videos). All panels were obtained by re-analyzing data from Falo-Sanjuan et al., 2019.

Quantification of gastrulation progression and changes in transcription levels.

Examples of three embryos in which transcription levels increase during gastrulation (left), show a transition in levels (center) or show no clear transition in levels (right). Top: mean levels of transcription from MSE nuclei with red dots indicating the manually annotated plateau and transition in levels. Bottom: plot overlaying movement of all MSE nuclei in the Y axis (left axis, light blue) with mean displacement in the Y axis, corresponding with DV movement (right axis, dark blue). The shapes of the curves in both plots were used to define the start of apical constriction, start of ME invagination and end of gastrulation (dashed lines), based on the cell movement along DV.

Disruption of gastrulation correlates with changes in the transition in Notch-dependent transcription.

(A) Simplified scheme of the signaling cascade that controls MyoII contractility during Drosophila gastrulation. (B) Mean profile of m5/m8 [II] activity in α-Cat RNAi embryos compared to control embryos. (C) Correlation between the start of invagination and transition in levels of transcription in each embryo, in cta, RhoGEF2 and control RNAi embryos. (D) Mean profile of m5/m8 [II] activity in cta, RhoGEF2 and control RNAi embryos. (E) Correlation between the start of invagination and transition in levels of transcription in each embryo, in fog mutant embryos compared to control embryos and other non-fog hemizygous embryos obtained from the same cross. (F) Mean profile of m5/m8 activity in fog mutant embryos compared to control embryos and other non-fog hemizygous embryos obtained from the same cross. The transition in levels is delayed approximately 10 min in fog mutants (arrowheads). Mean transcription profiles show mean and SEM (shaded area) of MS2 fluorescent traces from all cells combined from multiple embryos (n embryo numbers indicated in each). R2 coefficients are calculated after pooling all points shown in the same plot together. The transition point was only considered when a clear change in mean levels of transcription in an individual embryo could be observed, therefore the number of points in C and E could be smaller than the total number of embryos collected for each condition.

Figure 2—figure supplement 1
Genetic disruption of gastrulation.

(A) Still images (maximum projection of the His2Av-RFP channel) of post-gastrulation embryos from the indicated genetic conditions captured after MS2 experiments. Arrowheads indicate ectopic folds and mesoderm cells dividing externally in α-Cat RNAi embryos. (B) Start of ME invagination (left) and total gastrulation length (right) in the indicated genotypes. Boxplots show median, Q1/Q3 quartiles and SD. (C) Quantification of the movement of MSE nuclei over time in the Y axis (representing movement in the DV axis), aligned by the time of ME invagination, in the indicated genetic conditions. 0 represents the highest (most dorsal) position achieved, therefore during gastrulation MSE nuclei move towards negative positions. Mean and SEM (solid line and shaded area) of multiple embryos shown (n embryo numbers indicated in each). Dashed lines indicate mean profiles for individual embryos. Because α-Cat RNAi embryos do not gastrulate, total duration of gastrulation was not quantified, and mesoderm invagination has been defined, based on the overall changes occurring in the embryo, as the time when it would normally initiate.

Traces have been grouped by embryo (each marked by grey and black lines on the sides) to highlight the degree of embryo-to-embryo variability in transcription, likely arising from differences in the degree of Notch KD. Mean transcription profiles show mean and SEM (shaded area) of MS2 fluorescent traces from all cells combined from multiple embryos (n embryo numbers indicated in each). Control embryos are the same as shown in Figure 2B, Figure 2—figure supplement 2B.

Mean transcription profiles show mean and SEM (shaded area) of MS2 fluorescent traces from all cells combined from multiple embryos (n embryo numbers indicated in each). R2 coefficients in D are calculated after pooling all points shown the same plot together. The transition point was only considered when a clear change in mean levels of transcription in an individual embryo could be observed, therefore the number of points could be smaller than the total number of embryos collected for each condition.
