IBIS (Inferred Biomolecular Interaction Server) reports, predicts and integrates multiple types of conserved interactions for proteins.

ABSTRACT: We have recently developed the Inferred Biomolecular Interaction Server (IBIS) and database, which reports, predicts and integrates different types of interaction partners and locations of binding sites in proteins based on the analysis of homologous structural complexes. Here, we highlight several new IBIS features and options. The server's webpage is now redesigned to allow users easier access to data for different interaction types. An entry page is added to give a quick summary of available results and to now accept protein sequence accessions. To elucidate the formation of protein complexes, not just binary interactions, IBIS currently presents an expandable interaction network. Previously, IBIS provided annotations for four different types of binding partners: proteins, small molecules, nucleic acids and peptides; in the current version a new protein-ion interaction type has been added. Several options provide easy downloads of IBIS data for all Protein Data Bank (PDB) protein chains and the results for each query. In this study, we show that about one-third of all RefSeq sequences can be annotated with IBIS interaction partners and binding sites. The IBIS server is available at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Structure/ibis/ibis.cgi and updated biweekly.

Project description:Cellular responses to maladaptive environmental changes—stresses—allow for organismal adaptation to diverse and dynamic conditions. Across the tree of life, cells upregulate a highly conserved transcriptional program in response to so-called proteotoxic stresses such as heat shock. Correspondingly, in eukaryotes, these stresses induce the formation of biomolecular condensates, clusters of mRNA and protein which are referred to as stress granules under severe stress. However, major questions remain about this stress-induced response. How conserved is the condensation response relative to the transcriptional response? How does it vary across environmental niches, and to what extent does it correspond with the conserved transcriptional response? To answer these fundamental questions, we studied the growth, transcriptional, and condensation heat-induced stress responses in three fungal species adapted to thrive in different thermal environments: cryophilic S. kudriavzevii, mesophilic S. cerevisiae, and thermotolerant K. marxianus. Here we show that transcriptional heat shock responses track each species’ evolved temperature range of growth. Further, orthologous proteins—including poly(A)-binding protein, Pab1, a core marker of stress granules—form condensates in vivo at temperatures systematically tuned to the temperature at which the organisms activate the transcriptional heat shock response and slow their growth. In vitro, purified Pab1 from each species condenses autonomously at niche-specific temperatures. Homologous mutations in Pab1 cause similar shifts in relative condensation temperature across species, and crucially, mutations which suppress condensation in vitro also reduce fitness during heat stress. Our findings indicate that stress-induced protein condensation is adaptive, conserved, integrated with the growth and transcriptional responses, and tuned to features of the cellular and organismal environment to initiate at niche-specific levels.

Project description:Extensive changes in replication timing occur during early mouse development, but their biological significance remains uncertain. To identify evolutionarily conserved features of replication timing and their relationships to epigenetic properties in humans, we profiled replication timing genome-wide in four human embryonic stem cell (hESC) lines, hESC-derived neural precursor cells (NPCs), lymphoblastoid cells, and two independently derived human induced pluripotent stem cell lines (hiPSCs). Results confirm the conservation of coordinately replicated megabase-sized units of chromosomes (replication domains) with stable cell type specific molecular boundaries that consolidate into larger replication domains during differentiation. Replication timing changes encompassed units of 400-800 kb and were coordinated with changes in transcription similar to mouse. Moreover, significant cell-type specific conservation of replication timing profiles was observed across regions of conserved synteny, despite significant species variation in the alignment of replication timing to isochore GC/LINE-1 content. Replication profiling also revealed a closer genome-wide epigenetic alignment of hESCs to mouse epiblast-derived stem cells (mEpiSCs) than to mouse ESCs. Finally, we identify a signature of chromatin modifications marking the boundaries of early replicating domains and a remarkably strong link between spatial proximity of chromatin as measured by Hi-C analysis and replication timing. Together, our results reveal evolutionarily conserved elements of the replication program in mammalian early development, demonstrate the power of replication profiling to identify important epigenetic distinctions between closely related stem cell populations (e.g. ESCs vs. EpiSCs), and strengthen the hypothesis that replication domains are structural and functional units of 3D chromosomal architecture. 8 cell types, with a total of 13 individual replicates (i.e. 5 in duplicates, 3 in single replicates)
