Bacteriophages represent a majority of all life forms, and the vast, dynamic population with early origins is reflected in their enormous genetic diversity. A large number of bacteriophage genomes have been sequenced. They are replete with novel genes without known relatives. We know little about their functions, which genes are required for lytic growth, and how they are expressed. Furthermore, the diversity is such that even genes with required functions - such as virion proteins and repressor ...[more]

Project description:We explored the RNA binding properties of LINE-1 ORF1p, both free and in the L1 RNP, using a recently developed photoactivatable-ribonucleoside-enhanced crosslinking and immunoprecipitation technique (PAR-CLIP) to comprehensively identify ORF1p binding sites in the transcriptome of human cells (HEK293T). Our results show that ORF1p binds to a wide range of cellular mRNAs, with an enrichment for binding at the 3’ UTR. Our data also show that ORF1p binds very strongly with retrotransposable RNA, i.e., L1, Alu and SVA.

Project description:RNA-Seq profiling of Methylomicrobium alcaliphilum strain 20Z grown in batch on methane. The RNA-Seq work is one part of a systems approach to characterizing metabolism of 20Z during growth on methane. We demonstrate that methane assimilation is coupled with a highly efficient pyrophosphate-mediated glycolytic pathway, which under O2 limitation participates in a novel form of fermentation-based methanotrophy. This surprising discovery suggests a novel mode of methane utilization in oxygen-limited environments, and opens new opportunities for a modular approach towards producing a variety of excreted chemical products using methane as a feedstock.

Project description:X chromosome inactivation involves multiple levels of chromatin modification, established progressively and in a stepwise manner during early development. The chromosomal protein Smchd1 has recently been shown to play an important role in DNA methylation of CpG islands (CGIs), a late step in the X inactivation pathway required for long-term stability of gene silencing. Here we show that inactive X chromosome (Xi) CGI methylation can occur via either Smchd1 dependent or independent pathways. Smchd1 dependent CGI methylation, the primary pathway, is acquired gradually over an extended period, whereas Smchd1 independent CGI methylation occurs rapidly after the onset of X inactivation. The de novo methyltransferase Dnmt3b is required for methylation of both classes of CGI, whereas Dnmt3a and Dnmt3L are dispensable. Xi CGIs methylated by these distinct pathways differ in respect to their sequence characteristics and immediate chromosomal environment. We discuss the implications of these results for understanding CGI methylation during development. Examination of CpG methylated DNA from wild type and smchd1 null male and female somatic cells and female ES cells differentiated for either 7 or 10 days. Duplicate samples of each type were generated.

Project description:In mammals, the peptide hormone vasopressin controls renal water excretion, largely through its actions in the renal collecting duct to regulate the molecular water channel aquaporin-2 (AQP2). There are two modes of regulation: 1) short-term regulation by membrane trafficking; and 2) long-term regulation involving vasopressin-induced changes in the abundance of the aquaporin-2 protein. Defects in the long-term regulation have been implicated in multiple water balance disorders. With the objetive to identify genes that are transcriptionally regulated in response to vasopressin in cultured mouse collecting duct cells (mpkCCD), we carried out both RNA-seq to measure all transcripts (n=9) and ChIP-seq for RNA polymerase II (Polr2a) binding along the genome (n=3). Observations were made both after 24-hr treatment with the vasopressin analog dDAVP and with vehicle. Protocol:Confluent monolayers mpkCCD cells were washed in ice-cold 1X PBS (Ca+2/Mg+2-free) followed by cross-linking in 1.11% formaldehyde in Covaris Fixing Buffer (5.5 ml) for 5min at room temperature with gentle rocking (PN 520075, Covaris, Woburn, Massachusetts). Cross-linking was terminated by the addition of 0.3 ml of 1X Covaris Quenching Buffer with rocking. The buffer solution was aspirated and 1X ice-cold PBS was added to each plate. Cells were scraped into 15ml conical tubes, spun down (200 x g, 5 min), and washed twice with PBS. After the second wash, cell pellets were resuspended in 10 ml of 1X Covaris Lysis Buffer for 10 min at 4o C with rocking. Nuclei were pelleted by spinning at 1,700 x g for 5 min at 4o C. Nuclear pellets was resuspended in the 1X Covaris Wash Buffer and incubated for 10 mins at 4o C with rocking. Samples were spun at 1,700 x g for 5 min at 4o C. Nuclear pellets were washed twice with the Covaris Non-ionic Shearing Buffer and spun at 1,700 x g for 5 min at 4o C. Nuclei were resuspended in Covaris Non-ionic Shearing Buffer (Maximum of 1-3x 10^7cells per ml of buffer). Shearing. Two 20 ul aliquots of the resuspended pellets were removed prior to shearing to be used as subsequent unsheared controls for immunoblotting and agarose gel electrophoresis. The remaining samples were transferred to AFA tubes (TC12 x 12 mm) and volumes adjusted to 1 ml (V)). Samples were sheared using a Covaris S2 SonoLAB Single system for two minutes (Duty cycle: 5%; Intensity: 4; cycle: 200). Total nuclear protein concentration of each sample in mcg/ml (R) was determined with the BCA Protein Assay Kit (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL). To test shearing efficiency, a 20 ul aliquot from each tube was removed after shearing to test the efficacy of shearing. The aliquots, including the unsheared sample, were incubated with 100 ul 1X TE buffer, 10 ul 10% SDS, and RNAse A (10 ug/ul, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, Massachusetts) for 30 mins at 37o C. 1 ul proteinase K (20 ug/ul) was added and the samples were incubated overnight at 65o C. The DNA was purified using DNA Clean & Concentrator columns (Catalog #: D4013, Zymo Research, Irvine, CA) and ran on an E-gel EX 2% agarose (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). Target fragment sizes for chromatin immunoprecipitation were in the range of 150-700 bp in length with average fragment size of 300 bp. Testing epitope integrity (immunoblotting). Total protein content was determined with the BCA Protein Assay Kit (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL). Samples were then diluted with sample buffer (5X Laemmli buffer) at 20% (v/v) of the entire sample volume. Proteins were resolved by SDS-PAGE (4-20% polyacrylamide gels, Criterion, Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) and transferred electrophoretically onto nitrocellulose membranes as previously described (Hwang, 2010). Membranes were probed with anti-RNA polymerase II (Catalog #: MMS-126R, Covance). The antibody was used at a 1:500 dilution (anti-RNA polymerase II) (in Odyssey blocking buffer containing 0.1% Tween 20) overnight at 4°C. After 1-h incubation with secondary antibody (Li-Cor Biosciences 680 anti-rabbit immunoglobulin G or 800 anti-mouse immunoglobulin G; Lincoln, NE) at 1:5000 dilution, sites of antibody-antigen reaction were detected using an Odyssey infrared imager (Li-Cor). Chromatin immunoprecipitation. 10 ul of sample equivalent to 2% input was removed prior to IP. Chromatin Immunoprecipitation was performed using 30-90 ug of sheared chromatin in 500 uL of 1X Covaris Non-ionic Shearing Buffer with 10 μl anti-RNA polymerase II antibodies. Samples were incubated overnight at 4°C with rotation, followed by addition of ChIP Grade Protein G Magnet Beads (Catalog #: 9006, Cell Signaling Technology) and incubation for 2 h at 4o C with rotation. The beads were washed a total of four times, including three low salt washes followed by one high salt wash for 5 mins/wash at 4o C (SimpleChIP protocol #9003, Cell Signaling Technology). Immunoprecipitated chromatin was eluted from the beads with 150 ul of 1X ChIP Elution Buffer for 30 mins at 65o C in a thermomixer. To reverse crosslinks, 6 ul of 5M NaCl and 2 ul of 20 ug/ul Proteinase K were added to the chromatin followed by incubation at 65o C overnight. DNA was purified according to SimpleChIP protocol #9003, Cell Signaling Technology. q-PCR. To check the success of the chromatin immunoprecipitation, input and ChIPâ??ed DNA samples were amplified with SYBR Green PCR Master Mix (Applied Biosystems) on a 7900HT Fast Real-Time PCR System. Primer sets corresponding to Hox9a and actin genes were used as positive controls for both histone and RNA polymerase II IPâ??s. (see Supplementary Table X for primer sequences). Library construction, amplification and sequencing. Loaded fixed volume of total eluate. Library construction was performed on a NuGEN instrument using the protocol and reagents outlined in the Ovation SP Ultralow Library Systems kit. Libraries were then enriched via PCR. After amplification, DNA was measured. A fixed amount of the total measured DNA was used for sequencing in an Illumina Hiseq2000 instrument to obtain single read data. High-throughput sequencing and read mapping. Libraries for Illumina sequencing of the samples were prepared using the the protocol and reagents outlined in the Ovation SP Ultralow Library Systems kit , NuGen Mondrian SP+ (NuGEN, San Carlos, CA) . Samples were sequenced using an Illumina HiSeq2000, obtaining 1- by 50-bp reads. We combine RNA-seq and ChIP-seq to identify genes whose mRNA abundances change in tandem with changes in RNA polymerase II binding, as a mean to identify genes that are transcriptionally regulated in response to vasopressin. In addition, the pattern of RNA polymerase II binding along the gene provides important information about regulatory mechanisms. We identify two populations of genes regulated by vasopressin in mpkCCD cells, viz. 1) those with increases in transcript abundance and increases in RNA polymerase II binding throughout the gene body and; 2) genes that show increases in RNA polymerase II binding in the promotor proximal region but do not produce increases in transcript level. The former group is restricted to 35 genes and includes Aqp2. The latter group is made up of the majority of expressed genes and is presumably due to a widespread increase in transcriptional initiation without proportionate release of pausing.

Project description:Gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) is a major economic and health concern is sheep farming. Sheep breeds such as Texel are relatively resistant to GIN than the Suffolk. With the objective to understand the underlying genetic mechanism of resistance and susceptibility at the transcriptomic level, two groups of animal from both the breed were artificially (orally) infected with 30,000 L3 larvae of prominent GIN Teladorsagia circumcincta. Subgroups of animals from each breed were slaughtered on day 0, 3, 7, 14 and 21 of post infection (p.i.). Transcriptomic profiling of abomasal lymph node was performed using RNA-seq. The perturbations in gene expression profiles in both the breeds were evident and Texel showed a more tightly regulated immune response than the Suffolk. The number of differentially expressed (DE) genes between the breeds was highest (437) on un-infected control (day 0) and lowest (173) on day 7 p.i.. Pathway analysis of DE genes identified 3 significant pathways, which involved only more highly expressed genes of Suffolk breed on day 0 and only more highly expressed genes of Texel (with one exception) on day 7 p.i.. The Th1, Th2 and Treg response was evident in response to GIN in Texel and was synchronized, while in Suffolk Th1 response was reduced after infection and pronounced Th2 and Treg was not evident. The study suggests maximum level of transcriptional activity in both breeds on day 7 p.i. and there was a shift of transcriptional activity from Suffolk on day 0 to Texel on day 7 p.i.. Suffolk had a reduced Th1 response with less pronounced Th2 and Treg immune response, while Texel had an active and synchronized Th1/Th2/Treg immune response in response to GIN infection. Abomasal lymph node tissue was taken from control (n=10) and experimentally infected (with T. circumcincta) lambs (n=36) from Texel and Suffolk breed on day 0, 3, 7, 14 and 21 post infection.

Project description:The generation of naM-CM-/ve T lymphocytes is critical for immune function yet the mechanisms governing their maturation remain incompletely understood. We have identified a mouse mutant, bloto, that harbors a hypomorphic mutation in the zinc finger protein Zfp335. Mutant blt/blt mice exhibit a naM-CM-/ve T cell deficiency due to an intrinsic developmental defect that begins to manifest in the thymus and continues into the periphery, affecting T cells that have recently undergone thymic egress. Zfp335 binds to promoter regions via a consensus motif, and its target genes are enriched in categories related to protein metabolism, mitochondrial function and transcriptional regulation. Restoring the expression of one target, Ankle2, partially rescues T cell maturation. Our findings identify Zfp335 as a transcription factor and essential regulator of late-stage intrathymic and post-thymic T cell maturation. 4 Zfp335 ChIP-seq samples and 2 input samples with WT vs. blt/blt thymocytes.

Project description:Aim was to identify cellular factors that regulate HPV-16 late gene expression at the level of RNA processing Cervical cancer cells permissive for HPV16 late gene expression were identified and characterized. These cells either contained a novel spliced variant of the L1 mRNAs that bypassed the suppressed HPV16 late, 5’-splice site SD3632, produced elevated levels of RNA-binding proteins SRSF1 (ASF/SF2), SRSF9 (SRp30c) and HuR that are known to regulate HPV16 late gene expression, or were shown by a gene expression array analysis to overexpress the RALYL RNA-binding protein of the hnRNP C-family. Overexpression of RALYL, or RALY and hnRNP C1 that are two other members of the hnRNP C-family, induced HPV16 late gene expression from HPV16 subgenomic plasmids and from episomal forms of the full-length HPV16 genome. Induction of HPV16 late gene expression by the hnRNP C-proteins was dependent on the HPV16 early untranslated region to which these proteins also were shown to bind in vitro, and in living cells. Our experiments revealed that hnRNP C proteins that interacted with the HPV16 early untranslated region reached out to the splicing silencer complex at HPV16 SD3632 and derepressed this splice site, thereby activating production of HPV16 spliced late L1 mRNAs. In conclusion, hnRNP C- proteins bind to the HPV16 early untranslated region and control of HPV16 late L1 mRNA splicing. Total cellular RNA was extracted from stable cell lines. Samples were prepared in triplicates. C33ARSVNeo served as control cell line.
