Abstract
AbstractIn response to nutritional stress, microtubules in cells of the Drosophila female germline are depleted from the cytoplasm and accumulate cortically. This triggers aggregation of mRNPs into large processing bodies (P-bodies) and oogenesis arrest. Here, we show that hyperacetylation of α-tubulin at lysine 40 (K40) alters microtubule dynamics and P-body formation. We found that depletion of histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) by RNAi phenocopies the nutritional stress response, causing α-tubulin hyperacetylation and accumulation of maternally deposited mRNPs in P-bodies. Through in vitro and in vivo studies, we identify HDAC1 as a direct regulator of α-tubulin K40 acetylation status. In well-fed flies, HDAC1 maintains low levels of α-tubulin acetylation, enabling the microtubule dynamics required for mRNP transport. Using quantitative phosphoproteomics we identify nutritional stress-induced changes in protein phosphorylation that act upstream of α-tubulin acetylation, including phosphorylation of HDAC1 at S391, which reduces its ability to deacetylate α-tubulin. These results reveal that Drosophila HDAC1 senses and relays the nutritional status, which regulates germline development through modulation of cytoskeleton dynamics.
