Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) is a bone marrow failure syndrome linked to mutations in ribosomal protein (RP) genes that result in the impaired proliferation of hematopoietic progenitor cells. The etiology of DBA is not completely understood; however, the ribosomal nature of the genes involved has led to speculation that these mutations may alter the landscape of messenger RNA (mRNA) translation. Here, we performed comparative microarray analysis of polysomal mRNA transcripts isolated from lymph ...[more]

Project description:Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) is a congenital disorder that results predominantly from mutations in various ribosomal protein genes. In order to determine how these mutations affect the translation of specific mRNAs, we performed microarray analysis of polysomal transcripts isolated from lymphoblast cells derived from DBA patients carrying different haploinsufficient mutations in either RPS19 or RPL11. One of the few overlapping transcripts that we found significantly decreased on the polysomes codes for branched-chain aminotransferase-1 (BCAT-1). We go on to determine that translation of BCAT-1 is especially impaired in cells carrying mutations in the small ribosomal protein genes, and provide evidence that this effect is due to its unusually long 5M-bM-^@M-^YUTR. The BCAT-1 enzyme is critical for synthesis of the branched-chain amino acids, including leucine. It is known that DBA patients respond well to orally administered leucine, and large-scale clinical trials as such are currently underway. Our results suggest that the haploinsufficient loss of ribosomal protein genes results in a decrease of BCAT-1 translation and provide an explanation for why leucine administration is beneficial for DBA patients. In this expression study duplicate mRNA samples were generated from polysomes isolated from celllines with mutations in RPS19 or RPL11 or normal controls. In each group 3 cellines were tested. Duplicate samples were analyzed in dyeswap. As common reference the commercial universal human reference RNA (Stratagene) was used.

Project description:HERC2 is a giant protein with E3 ubiquitin ligase activity and other known and suspected functions. Mutations of HERC2 are implicated in the pathogenesis of various cancers and result in various severe neurological conditions in Herc2-mutant mice. Recently, a pleotropic autosomal recessive HERC2-associated syndrome of intellectual disability, autism and variable neurological deficits was described; its pathogenetic basis is largely unknown. Using peripheral blood-derived lymphoblasts from 3 persons with homozygous HERC2 variants and 14 age- and gender-matched controls, we performed unbiased HPLC-tandem mass spectrometry-based proteomic analyses to provide insights into HERC2-mediated pathobiology. We found that out of 3427 detected proteins, there were 812 differentially expressed proteins between HERC2-cases vs. controls. 184 canonical pathways were enriched after FDR adjustment, including mitochondrial function, energy metabolism, EIF2 signaling, immune functions, ubiquitination and DNA repair. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis® identified 209 upstream regulators that could drive the differential expression, prominent amongst which were neurodegeneration-associated proteins. Differentially expressed protein interaction networks highlighted themes of immune function/dysfunction, regulation of cell cycle/cell death, and energy metabolism. Overall, the analysis of the HERC2-associated proteome revealed striking differential protein expression between cases and controls. The large number of differentially expressed proteins likely reflects HERC2’s multiple domains and numerous interacting proteins. Our canonical pathway and protein interaction network findings suggest derangements of multiple pathways in HERC2-associated disease.

Project description:PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) guide PIWI proteins to suppress transposable elements in animal gonads. Here we demonstrate that in the mouse embryonic male germline, endonucleolytic cleavage (slicing) of a transcript by cytosolic MILI acts as a trigger to initiate its further 5??3? processing into non-overlapping fragments. These fragments accumulate as new piRNAs within the nuclear PIWI protein MIWI2. We identify Exonuclease domain-containing 1 (EXD1) as a partner of the established MIWI2 piRNA biogenesis factor TDRD12. Although EXD1 homodimers are inactive as a nuclease, it functions as an RNA adapter within a PET (PIWI-EXD1-Tdrd12) complex. Loss of Exd1 impacts biogenesis of MIWI2 piRNAs and displays a reduction in sequences generated by MILI slicing. This results in selective depletion of repeat piRNAs that target active retrotransposons like LINE1, which are de-repressed in the mutant. We propose that PIWI slicing and EXD1 promote coordination of nucleo-cytoplasmic silencing via piRNA biogenesis. Immunoprecipitated or total small RNAs were purified and sequenced from P0 mouse testis of Exd1+/- and Exd1 -/- mice. Testes of three males were pooled together and MILI and MIWI2 immunoprecipitation was performed or total small RNAs were purified. Two replicas from different pools were prepared. For Rosa26-pi reporter mouse P0 testes of three males were pooled together and MILI and MIWI2 immunoprecipitation was performed.

Project description:Hereditary Motor and Sensory Neuropathies (HMSN) are the most common inherited peripheral neuropathies and comprise a group of genetically heterogeneous diseases. We study the genetic defects causing three demyelinating disorders: HMSN1A, HMSN-LOM and congenital cateracts facial dysmophism neuropathy (CCFDN) syndrome, which are caused by mutations in PMP22, NDRG1 and CTDP1, respectively. The function and patho-mechanisms of these genes is still unknown. To identify effects downstream of the mutations, thereby possibly involved in the disease process, we used Serial expression of gene expression (SAGE) and microarray analysis. We analyzed human Schwann cell lines from three normal subjects, one HMSN-LOM patient, two HMSN-1A patients and two CCFDN patients and compared our data to a recent dataset of human Schwann cells (4 normal subjects passage 1 vs. 3, GDS1869/GSE4030 M.B. Bunge, 2006). We excluded genes that were not consistently regulated between biological and technical replicates and genes that were found to be influenced by passage number (p<0.05). Comparing expression profiles of demyelinating neuropathies with different mutations we identified: 1. expression signatures specific for each genotype. 2. Genes commonly (dys)regulated in all screened neuropathies. Interestingly, these include genes that play a role in reorganization of sodium channels in central and peripheral nerves (S100A10, CD90), or extracellular matrix remodeling (e.g. TGFBI, SERPINE1, THBS1). We also found high up-regulation of genes involved in Schwann cell lineage and in particular, genes that are associated with an immature or pre-myelinating Schwann cell phenotype (i.e. Sox2, Sox10, COL18A1, TFAP2A, Pax3, CDH19). Our study shows that many genes, possibly contributing to nerve pathology can be identified by this approach. Experiment Overall Design: Experimental design: in total 12 (two-color) arrays were run. All neuropathy samples were in duplicate (technical replicates). Two CCFDN and two HMSN1A patients were also analyzed as biological replicates. Three healthy subjects were included from which one was in duplicate. All samples (Cy3) were compared to a common reference pool (Cy5) which consisted of a mix of all samples.

Project description:Plants are exposed to antibiotics produced by soil microorganisms but little is known about their responses at the transcriptional level. Likewise, few endogenous mechanisms of antibiotic resistance have been reported. The Arabidopsis thaliana ATP Binding Cassette (ABC) transporter AtWBC19 (ABCG19) is known to confer kanamycin resistance, but the exact mechanism of resistance is not well understood. Here we examined the transcriptomes of control seedlings and wbc19 mutant seedlings using RNA-seq analysis. Exposure to kanamycin indicated changes in the organization of the photosynthetic apparatus, metabolic fluxes and metal uptake. Elemental analysis showed a 60% and 80% reduction of iron uptake in control and wbc19 mutant seedlings respectively, upon exposure to kanamycin. The drop in iron content was accompanied by the upregulation of the gene encoding for FERRIC REDUCTION OXIDASE 6 (FRO6) in mutant seedlings but not by the differential expression of other transport genes known to be induced by iron deficiency. In addition, wbc19 mutants displayed a distinct expression profile in the absence of kanamycin. Most notably, the expression of several zinc ion binding proteins, including ZINC TRANSPORTER 1 PRECURSOR (ZIP1), was increased, suggesting abnormal zinc uptake. Elemental analysis confirmed a 50% decrease of zinc content in wbc19 mutants. Thus, the antibiotic resistance gene WBC19 appears to also have a role in zinc uptake. Examination of transcriptome in control and wbc19 mutant seedlings with or without exposure to kanamycin.

Project description:A century ago, influenza A virus (IAV) infection caused the 1918 flu pandemic and killed an estimated 20-40 million people. Pandemic IAV outbreaks occur when strains from animal reservoirs acquire the ability to infect and spread among humans. The molecular details of this species barrier are incompletely understood. We combined metabolic pulse labeling and quantitative shotgun proteomics to globally monitor protein synthesis upon infection of human cells with a human- and a bird-adapted IAV strain. While production of host proteins was remarkably similar, we observed striking differences in the kinetics of viral protein synthesis over the course of infection. Most importantly, the matrix protein M1 was inefficiently produced by the bird-adapted strain at later stages. We show that impaired production of M1 from bird-adapted strains is caused by increased splicing of the M segment RNA to alternative isoforms. Experiments with reporter constructs and recombinant influenza viruses revealed that strain-specific M segment splicing is controlled by the 3’ splice site and functionally important for permissive infection. Independent in silico and biochemical evidence shows that avian-adapted M segments have evolved different conserved RNA structure features than human-adapted sequences. Thus, our data identifies M segment RNA splicing as a viral determinant of host range.

Project description:Readthrough of a translation termination codon is regulated by ribosomal A site recognition and insertion of near-cognate tRNAs. Small molecules exist that mediate the incorporation of amino acids at the stop codon and the production of full-length, often functional protein but defining the actual amino acid that is incorporated remains a challenging area. We report on the development of a human cell model that can be used to determine whether rules can be developed using mass spectrometry that defines the type of amino acid that is placed at a premature termination codon during readthrough mediated by an aminoglycoside. The first premature termination codon we analysed contained the relatively common cancer-associated termination signal at codon 213 in the p53 gene. Although we could detect a tryptic peptide with the incorporation of an R at codon 213 in the presence of the aminoglycoside, there were no other tryptic peptides detected across codon 213 that could be recovered so we needed to create a more robust artificial premature stop codon model. P53 expression plasmids were developed that incorporate a string of single synthetic UGA (opal) stop codons at S127P128A129 within the relatively abundant tryptic p53 peptide 122-SVTCTYSPALNK-132. The treatment of cells stably expressing the p53-UGA129 mutation, treated with Gentamycin, followed by immunoprecipitation and trypsinization of p53, resulted in the identification R, W, or C within the tryptic peptide at codon-UGA129; as expected based on the two base pairing of the respective anticodons to UGA with R being the most abundant using all three codons. By contrast, incorporating the amber or ochre premature stop codons, UAA129 or UAG129 resulted in the incorporation of a Y or Q amino acid, again as expected based on the two base pairings to the anticodons, with Q being the most abundant. The incorporation of these amino acids at codons 127, 128, or 129 generally results in a p53 protein that is predicted to be ‘unfolded’ or inactive as defined by Molecular Dynamic Simulations. As such, the data also highlight the need in the future to not only produce novel small molecules that can read through premature termination codons but also the need to design methods to insert the required amino acid at the position that could result in a ‘wild-type’ functional protein.

Project description:ATM is a serine/threonine protein kinase that is responsible for initiation of DNA repair of double-stranded breaks and is a therapeutic target in cancer. A lack of analytically robust and multiplexed assays has hampered mechanistic studies of action and determination of optimal, robust pharmacodynamic biomarkers for clinical development of new therapies targeting ATM. Targeted mass spectrometry-based assays have been shown to be capable of enabling quantitative phosphosignaling studies and identification of novel phosphorylation sites. To identify new pharmacodynamic markers of ATM inhibition and expand the capabilities of targeted proteomics for quantitative profiling of the DNA damage response, we developed and fully analytically characterized a 51-plex assay quantifying protein expression and post-translational modification (phosphorylation) following induction of DNA damage. The linear range was over 3 orders of magnitude, the median inter-assay variability was 11% CV, and the assay is capable of being used in conjunction with other multiple reaction monitoring-based multiplexed assay panels. Proof-of-principle studies quantify signaling following DNA damage (ionizing radiation) in immortalized cell lines and primary human cells, identifying NUMA1 pS395 as a PD marker for ATM inhibition following DNA damage. Furthermore, the study shows the utility of using a quantitative multiplexed assay for studying cellular signaling dynamics, and the potential application to pharmacodynamic and mechanism of action studies, including development of new pharmacodynamic markers for clinical application.

Project description:We hypothesized that mapping genetic variants associated with promoter and enhancer functions can provide novel insights into the mechanism through which eQTLs (expression quantitative trait loci) exert their effects on gene expression. To this end, we quantified genome-wide promoter usage and enhancer activity and tested the resulting molecular phenotypes for association with nearby genetic variants to discover cis-QTLs. To perform such analyzes, we have produced deep transcriptome profiling of 154 unrelated central European individuals, applying deepCAGE (Cap Analysis of Gene Expression) to nuclear enriched total RNA extracted from EBV transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs). The LCLs were either purchased from Coriell Cell Repository (CEU, n=86) or from the GenCord collection (n=68, Gutierrez-Arcelus M et al. Elife 2013).
