Project description:Infection or reactivation with human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is still a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing solid organ transplantation or allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT). Recent studies have shown that protection against latent HCMV infection relies on a much broader antigen spectrum than previously expected. The identification of novel immunogenic HCMV-derived peptides that facilitate HCMV control is therefore essential to improve immune monitoring of HCMV-specific T cells and HCMV vaccine development. In particular, only a few HCMV-derived peptides have been described for less common HLA alleles, such as HLA-A*03:01 and HLA-B*15:01, limiting the implementation of these techniques for a substantial number of patients. Here, we identified novel HCMV-derived HLA-A*03:01- and HLA-B*15:01-restricted immunogenic peptides by an innovative combined in vitro and in silico approach. We utilized the computational tools Peptide-PRISM (1) and PRICE (2) to analyze mass spectrometric (MS) and ribosome sequencing (ribo-seq) datasets, respectively. To refine our in silico approach, we utilized machine learning to rate the identified peptide candidates based on their translational activity, binding affinity and positioning within the small open reading frames (sORFs), with the goal of assessing their likelihood to be presented on HLA-A*03:01 and HLA-B*15:01 molecules. After identifying the highest-scoring 49 canonical and 49 cryptic potentially immunogenic peptides for each HLA allele, we assessed their immunogenicity by screening HCMV-seropositive and -seronegative healthy donors, as well as alloSCT patients for their peptide-specific T-cell responses. We used a stimulation procedure in two consecutive steps: peripheral blood cells (PBMCs) were stimulated starting with peptide pools and subsequently with potentially reactive single peptides. In vitro T-cell stimulation resulted in the direct identification of three canonical and one cryptic HLA-A*03-restricted immunogenic peptides as well as five canonical and one cryptic HLA-B*15-restricted immunogenic peptide, with a specific IFNγ+/CD8+ T cell response of ≥ 0.02%. Highest T-cell responses were identified against two HLA-A*03-restricted and three HLA-B*15-restricted canonical peptides with up to 3.42% of IFNγ+/CD8+ T cells in patients 180 days post alloSCT. In conclusion, we identified specific T-cell responses against eight canonical and two cryptic HLA-A*03:01- and HLA-B*15:01-restricted peptides in healthy individuals and post-transplanted patients and which were classified as immunogenic. Of these, six peptides are novel HCMV-derived, immunogenic peptides according to the UniProt database, broadening the spectrum of immunogenic HCMV-derived peptides for personalized immune monitoring and vaccine development.

Project description:We have integrated nucleotide resolution genome-scale measurements of the transcriptome and translatome of the Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), the model antibiotic-producing actinomycete. Our systematic study determined 3,473 transcription start sites, leading to discovery of a high proportion (~21%) of leaderless mRNAs and 230 non-coding RNAs; this enabled deduction of promoter architecture on a genome-scale. Ribosome profiling analysis revealed that the translation efficiency was negatively correlated for secondary metabolic genes. These results provide novel fundamental insights into translational regulation of secondary metabolism that enables rational synthetic biology approaches to awaken such âsilentâ secondary metabolic pathways. Profiles of primary transcripts, whole transcripts, and ribosome protected fragments (RPFs) of Streptomyces coelicolor were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina Miseq.

Project description:RNA sequencing protocols allow for quantifying gene expression regulation at each individual step, from transcription to protein synthesis. Ribosome Profiling (Ribo-seq) maps the positions of translating ribosomes over the entire transcriptome. Despite its great potential, a rigorous statistical approach to identify translated regions from Ribo-seq data is not yet available. To fill this gap, we developed RiboTaper, which quantifies the significance of the three-nucleotide periodicity of Ribo-seq reads via spectral analysis methods.

Project description:Upon fertilization, maternal factors direct development in a transcriptionally silent embryo. At the maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT), a universal step in animal development, unknown maternal factors trigger zygotic genome activation (ZGA). In zebrafish, ZGA is required for gastrulation and clearance of maternal mRNAs, which is achieved in part by the conserved microRNA miR-430. However, the precise factors that activate the zygotic program remain largely unknown. Here we show that Nanog, Pou5f1 and SoxB1 are required for genome activation in zebrafish. We identified several hundred genes directly activated by maternal factors, thus constituting the first wave of zygotic transcription in zebrafish. Ribosome profiling in the pre-MZT embryo revealed that nanog, sox19b and pou5f1 are the most highly translated transcription factor mRNAs. Combined loss of function for Nanog, SoxB1 and Pou5f1 resulted in developmental arrest prior to gastrulation, and a failure to activate >75% of zygotic genes. Furthermore, we found that Nanog binds the miR-430 locus and together with Pou5f1 and SoxB1 initiate miR-430 expression and activity. Our results demonstrate that maternal Nanog, Pou5f1 and SoxB1 are required to initiate the zygotic developmental program and in turn trigger the clearance of the maternal program by activating miR-430 expression.

Project description:A universal feature of the response to stress and nutrient limitation is transcriptional upregulation of genes encoding proteins important for survival. Interestingly, under many of these conditions overall protein synthesis levels are reduced, thereby dampening the stress response at the level of protein expression. For example, during glucose starvation in yeast, translation is rapidly and reversibly repressed, yet transcription of many stress- and glucose-repressed genes is increased. Using ribosome profiling and microscopy, we found that this transcriptionally upregulated gene set consists of two classes: (1) one producing mRNAs that are preferentially translated during glucose limitation and are diffusely localized in the cytoplasm – this class includes many heat shock protein mRNAs; and (2) another producing mRNAs that are poorly translated during glucose limitation, have high rates of translation initiation, and are concentrated in foci that co-localize with P bodies and stress granules – this class is enriched for glucose metabolism mRNAs. Remarkably, the information specifying differential localization and translation of these two classes of mRNAs is encoded in the promoter sequence – promoter responsiveness to heat shock factor (Hsf1) specifies diffuse cytoplasmic localization and preferential translation upon glucose starvation, whereas different promoter elements upstream of genes encoding poorly translated glucose metabolism mRNAs direct these mRNAs to RNA granules under glucose starvation. Thus, promoter sequences and transcription factor binding can influence not only mRNA levels, but also subcellular localization of mRNAs and the efficiency with which they are translated, enabling cells to tailor protein production to environmental conditions.

Project description:S. anginosus, S. aureus LMG 10147 and P. aeruginosa DK2 are often co-isolated in sputum samples from cystic fibrosis patients. We found that S. anginosus LMG 14502 becomes less suceptible towards treatment with several antibiotics when it's grown together with S. aureus LMG 10147 and P. aeruginosa DK2, compared to when it's grown alone. In order to elucidate the molecular mechanisms responsible, we performed RNA-seq of an S. anginosus monospecies biofilm and of a multispecies bioiflm of S. anginosus, S. aureus and P. aeruginosa. First, biofilms of S. anginosus alone or in combination with S. aureus and P. aeruginosa were grown. Next, RNA was isolated. Subsequently, a Truseq stranded RNA library preparation kit (Illumina) was used to create strand specific libraries. After a quality and concentration control, the libraries were equimolarly pooled and sequenced using an Illumina NextSeq 500, generating 75bp unpaired reads.

Project description:Oxygen and glucose metabolism plays a pivotal role in many (patho)physiological conditions. In particular, oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) occurs during ischemia and stroke, resulting in extensive tissue injury and cell death. We applied time-resolved ribosome profiling technique to assess early events at the level of gene expression in rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells during short-term OGD. Most substantial alterations in transcripts levels and their translation were seen to occur in the first 20 minutes of OGD. The rapid adaptation of translation apparatus to OGD is global and involves altered elongation and initiation rates. We also observed salient and reproducible alterations in ribosome densities of individual mRNAs such as increased translation of particular upstream Open Reading Frames (uORFs); induced site-specific arrests of the ribosomes and synthesis of extended protein isoforms. Ribosome profiling (with mRNA-seq sequencing) was carried out at 0,20,40 and 60 minutes of OGD. Two biological replicates were used.

Project description:Alternative translation initiation mechanisms such as leaky scanning and re-initiation potentiate the polycistronic nature of transcripts. By allowing for reprogrammed translation, these mechanisms can mediate biological responses to stress stimuli. We combined proteomics with ribosome profiling and mRNA sequencing to identify the biological targets of translation control triggered by the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 1 (eIF1), a protein implicated in the stringency of start codon selection. We quantified expression changes of over 4,000 proteins and 10,000 actively translated transcripts, leading to the identification of 245 transcripts undergoing translational control mediated by upstream open reading frames (uORFs) upon eIF1 deprivation. The stringency of start codon selection and preference for an optimal nucleotide context were largely diminished leading to translational upregulation of uORFs with sub-optimal start sites. Affected genes were implicated in energy production and sensing of metabolic stress. Interestingly, knockdown of eIF1 elicited a synergic response from eIF5 and eIF1B.
