Oocytes of a single individual of Ciona intestinalis (Roscoff, France) were fertilized by a mixture of sperm of two individuals and development was followed microscopically. Embryos were snapfrozen in liquid nitrogen at the appropriate stage and kept at -80°C. Samples at stage 0, 8, 12, 15, 21, 26 were collected from the same fertilzation, while sample from stage 11 was independently collected from a different individual. Total RNA was prepared with the RNA II kit of Magerey Nagel and the quality was checked with the Bioanalyzer, all samples had a RIN value of higher than 9. Strand specific libraries were constructed and the sequencing (50PE) was performed with Illumina HiSeq 2000 technology (BGI, Hong Kong, China). Reads were aligned onto C.robusta genome and considered to reflect the expression of the C.robusta orthologous genes.

Ciona robusta adults were obtained from the National Bio-Resource Project for Ciona (NBRP, Japan). 50 unperturbed and Foxd-morphant embryos were collected at the 32-, 64-, and 112-cell stages. RNA was extracted using a Dynabeads mRNA DIRECT Purification Kit (Thermo Fischer Scientific) and libraries were made with an Ion Total RNA-Seq kit ver 2 (Thermo Fischer Scientific). The libraries were sequenced with an Ion PGM instrument (Thermo Fischer Scientific).

Deletion analyses revealed that 1326 bp of the 5 prime flanking region was sufficient for driving the lacZ expression in the CNS, epidermis, and muscle, where endogenous Ci-RAR gene expression was observed. However, the 1113-Z expression in the epidermis was restricted to the dorsal midline region. br,brain; ep, epidermis; mu, muscle; nc, nerve cord;

Lateral view of a tailbud embryo electroporated with Ci-RAR cis-regulatory region in which region from -735 to -218 was deleted, upstream a LacZ reporter gene.

This deletion doesn't seem to affect the expression. The reporter expression was detected in the DME (Dorsal Midline Epidermis), the head endoderm, the nerve cord (NC), and in the brain (BR).

Transgenes containing 548 bp or 287 bp of the 5 prime flanking region were expressed in muscle cells. Two E-boxes were found within 287 bp of the 5 prime flanking sequence. Mutation in one of them (E1: CACGTG) did not affect the transgene expression in the muscle. In contrast, mutation in the other (E2: CAACTG) diminished the expression.

The most anterior region of the DME derived from the a8.26 blastomere pairs is indicated by a blue bracket.

Original Annotation : The expression of lacZ was observed in the dorsal midline epidermis (DME) when MA1-Z was introduced. A small fraction of transgenic embryos showed weak expression in the neural tube, tail muscle and ventral midline epidermis (NC, nerve cord).

Embryos probed for the reporter expression of the region upstream of Ci-RAR from -1113bp to 0bp. In this construction (named MB2-Z in the paper) a region from -1017 to -986 and an other from -953 to -218 were deleted.

These deletions result in a loss of reporter expression in the DME (Dorsal Midline Epidermis). There is expression in tail muscles (MU), in mesenchyme (MC), and weak expression in brain.

Conversion to Aniseed format of data from Yutaka Satou's gene expression profiles of transcription factors and signalling molecule ISH screen (Development. 2004 131:4047-58).

Original annotation :
Gene name :RAR.
Expression pattern : nervous system, nerve cord, endoderm, muscle.
Comment : The expression in muscle cells was weak. Maternal signal were observed ubiquitously mainly in the early claeving stages, but also somewhat in the later stage.

Aniseed annotation : staining posterior to the brain might have been localized in part of the posterior sensory vesicle and/or in part of the neck and/or in part of the visceral ganglion.
