Research projects team Nagel

My research focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying the resilience of stem cells towards internal and external stressors. Key aspects are genome integrity, cellular differentiation, growth regulation and immunity. To this end, we explore the role of the gene putzig in growth regulation as well as in the epigenetic regulation of genome stability in germ line stem cells. Moreover, we determine the function of specific DNA-repair genes in Drosophila. In addition, we investigate the Notch signaling pathway that is central to the differentiation of e.g. stem cells during hematopoiesis and of immune cells. We apply the most recent molecular techniques including ‘genome engineering’ via Crispr/Cas9. Based on the high similarity of the molecular mechanisms between flies and man, our research may result in novel therapies, for example against leukemia.

The gene putzig is indispensable to normal fly development. It is required for cellular differentiation, growth control and surveillance of genome integrity. These diverse roles reflect the fact that the Putzig protein is an integral component of several multi-protein complexes involved in the epigenetic and transcriptional regulation of gene activity. Originally, we identified putzig as an important regulator of the Notch signaling pathway, which governs a plethora of developmental processes in higher animals. Currently, we concentrate our efforts on the epigenetic control of genomic stability in germ line stem cells.

The project is funded by the DFG (NA 427/6-1).

The genome is subjected to permanent external impacts threatening its integrity. During evolution, multifaceted repair mechanisms have evolved counteracting potential damage. Genetic analyses allowed uncovering the basic mechanisms of DNA damage repair in model organisms like yeast and Drosophila. Lack of DNA damage repair can cause serious health problems, notably cancer and leukemia. In this context, further DNA-repair genes were identified in human that are not yet characterized in Drosophila. We want to close this gap using the CRISPR/Cas9 system to generate specific mutation in these Drosophila genes for further investigations.

In higher metazoan, the Notch signaling pathway governs cellular differentiation including hematopoiesis. By regulating Notch-target genes, the transcription factor CSL/Su(H) acts as a central switch, eventually translating Notch activity into cellular responses. Using mass spectrometry we identified in vivo phosphorylation of Su(H) in its DNA-binding domain, representing a potential point of attack for controlling Notch signaling activity.

Subsequent analyses in Drosophila, e.g. by replacing the native Su(H) locus by phospho-mutant variants, uncovered a role of this mechanism in Notch-mediated hematopoiesis. Currently, we are studying the underlying molecular processes of the cross-talk. Because hematopoiesis in mammals is likewise governed by Notch signaling activity, and because the phosphorylation site is highly conserved in the homologous transcription factor CSL, this regulatory mechanism presumably applies in human as well. Our research may hence lead to novel approaches in the treatment of leukemia.
