Project description:A computer program was used to create random amino acid sequences based on and restricted by physical shadow masks which will be used for lithography-based synthesis of peptides. The output from this algorithm was used to create peptides that were synthesized by Sigma Aldrich, and printed onto glass slides. The arrays contained 384 peptides printed in duplicate for each of 4 different mask designs. 52 different monoclonal antibodies were incubated on these microarrays and analyzed for their propensity to bind the peptides created from each mask set. The diversity of binding served as a proxy for the 'randomness' of these peptides, and provided information about how many masks are needed to truly generate random sequence peptides. two replicates of each peptide was printed on 1 Mask peptide microarray. A minimum of Two microarrays were tested for each sample. Image was qualified using in-house metrics for quality assurance.
Project description:In this paper several computer programs were used to simulate in situ synthesis of peptides using shadow masks and BOC synthesis. The peptides were designed to be random, or pseudo-random, but fulfill requirements of immunosignaturing. This file contains data from actual 330,000 peptide arrays that used the first iteration of the peptide generation algorithm. Monoclonal antibodies were bound to the microarrays and the total number of peptides that distinguished each monoclonal was measured. This provides a baseline against which to compare purely random sequences. One replicate of each peptide was printed on 1 330k peptide microarray. One microarray were tested for each sample. Image was qualified using in-house metrics for quality assurance.
Project description:This dataset contains peptide array information from 120 patients from 5 different cancer types using classic blinded test/train method. This array is library 1 (GPL17600). A 1:500 dilution of human serum is added to a peptide array (GPL17600). This array is a two-up design, with 10420 peptides printed on the top and bottom of a standard glass microscope slide. Samples were run in duplicate. The average of the duplicates are listed here. 20 train and 20 blinded test samples were run.
Project description:This dataset contains peptide array information from 1516 patients from 12 different cancer types, 2 infectious diseases, and healthy controls using leave one out cross validation. This array is library 2 (GPL14921). A 1:500 dilution of human serum is added to a peptide array (GPL14921). This array is a one-up design, with 10286 peptides printed in duplicate on a standard glass microscope slide. 1516 patients samples from 14 different diseases and 1 control cohort were analyzed
Project description:Mice were immunized with either formalin fixed Influenza A/PR/8/34 (Killed PR8), the 2006-2007 seasonal influenza vaccine, the 2007-2008 seasonal influenza vaccine, a sublethal infection (live PR8) or mock immunized (PBS). Array data was used to distinguish the immunogens from each other and predict which of the three inactivated vaccines would be protective against A/PR/8/34 challenge. two replicates of each peptide was printed on 1 CIM_10kv3 peptide microarray. One microarray were tested for each sample. Image was qualified using in-house metrics for quality assurance.
Project description:An experiment was designed to use a computer program to create lithography masks using a pseudo-random pattern generator. The data in this file are results from immunosignaturing 8 different monoclonals using a 10,000 peptide random-sequence microarray. Peptides were synthesized by Sigma Aldrich, and printed onto glass slides and used to test several different parameters. One replicate of each peptide was printed on 1 CIM_10K_v2 peptide microarray. One microarray were tested for each sample. Image was qualified using in-house metrics for quality assurance.
Project description:Ubiquitylation is an essential post-translational modification that regulates numerous cellular processes, most notably protein degradation. Ubiquitin itself can be post-translationally modified by phosphorylation, with nearly every serine, threonine, and tyrosine residue having the potential to be phosphorylated. However, the effect of this modification on ubiquitin function is largely unknown. Here, we performed in vivo and in vitro characterization of the effects of phosphorylation of yeast ubiquitin at position serine 65. We find ubiquitin S65 phosphorylation to be regulated under oxidative stress, occurring in tandem with the restructuring of the ubiquitin landscape into a highly polymeric state. Phosphomimetic mutation of S65 recapitulates the oxidative stress phenotype, causing a dramatic accumulation of ubiquitylated proteins and a proteome-wide reduction of protein turnover rates. Importantly, this mutation impacts ubiquitin chain disassembly, chain linkage distribution, and substrate targeting. These results demonstrate that phosphorylation represents an additional mode of ubiquitin regulation with broad implications in cellular physiology.
