Vertebrate DNA crosslink repair excises toxic replication-blocking DNA crosslinks. Numerous factors involved in crosslink repair have been identified, and mutations in their corresponding genes cause Fanconi anemia (FA). A key step in crosslink repair is monoubiquitination of the FANCD2-FANCI heterodimer, which then recruits nucleases to remove the DNA lesion. Here, we use cryo-EM to determine the structures of recombinant chicken FANCD2 and FANCI complexes. FANCD2-FANCI adopts a closed conforma ...[more]

Multimodal Transformer for Unaligned Multimodal Language Sequences.

Project description:Human language is often multimodal, which comprehends a mixture of natural language, facial gestures, and acoustic behaviors. However, two major challenges in modeling such multimodal human language time-series data exist: 1) inherent data non-alignment due to variable sampling rates for the sequences from each modality; and 2) long-range dependencies between elements across modalities. In this paper, we introduce the Multimodal Transformer (MulT) to generically address the above issues in an end-to-end manner without explicitly aligning the data. At the heart of our model is the directional pairwise cross-modal attention, which attends to interactions between multimodal sequences across distinct time steps and latently adapt streams from one modality to another. Comprehensive experiments on both aligned and non-aligned multimodal time-series show that our model outperforms state-of-the-art methods by a large margin. In addition, empirical analysis suggests that correlated crossmodal signals are able to be captured by the proposed crossmodal attention mechanism in MulT.

Targeted variant detection using unaligned RNA-Seq reads.

Project description:Mutations identified in acute myeloid leukemia patients are useful for prognosis and for selecting targeted therapies. Detection of such mutations using next-generation sequencing data requires a computationally intensive read mapping step followed by several variant calling methods. Targeted mutation identification drastically shifts the usual tradeoff between accuracy and performance by concentrating all computations over a small portion of sequence space. Here, we present km, an efficient approach leveraging k-mer decomposition of reads to identify targeted mutations. Our approach is versatile, as it can detect single-base mutations, several types of insertions and deletions, as well as fusions. We used two independent cohorts (The Cancer Genome Atlas and Leucegene) to show that mutation detection by km is fast, accurate, and mainly limited by sequencing depth. Therefore, km allows the establishment of fast diagnostics from next-generation sequencing data and could be suitable for clinical applications.

Discovering common stem-loop motifs in unaligned RNA sequences.

Project description:Post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression is often accomplished by proteins binding to specific sequence motifs in mRNA molecules, to affect their translation or stability. The motifs are often composed of a combination of sequence and structural constraints such that the overall structure is preserved even though much of the primary sequence is variable. While several methods exist to discover transcriptional regulatory sites in the DNA sequences of coregulated genes, the RNA motif discovery problem is much more difficult because of covariation in the positions. We describe the combined use of two approaches for RNA structure prediction, FOLDALIGN and COVE, that together can discover and model stem-loop RNA motifs in unaligned sequences, such as UTRs from post-transcriptionally coregulated genes. We evaluate the method on two datasets, one a section of rRNA genes with randomly truncated ends so that a global alignment is not possible, and the other a hyper-variable collection of IRE-like elements that were inserted into randomized UTR sequences. In both cases the combined method identified the motifs correctly, and in the rRNA example we show that it is capable of determining the structure, which includes bulge and internal loops as well as a variable length hairpin loop. Those automated results are quantitatively evaluated and found to agree closely with structures contained in curated databases, with correlation coefficients up to 0.9. A basic server, Stem-Loop Align SearcH (SLASH), which will perform stem-loop searches in unaligned RNA sequences, is available at http://www.bioinf.au.dk/slash/.

An accurate method for identifying recent recombinants from unaligned sequences.

Project description:MotivationRecombination is a fundamental process in molecular evolution, and the identification of recombinant sequences is thus of major interest. However, current methods for detecting recombinants are primarily designed for aligned sequences. Thus they struggle with analyses of highly diverse genes, such as the var genes of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, which are known to diversify primarily through recombination.ResultsWe introduce an algorithm to detect recent recombinant sequences from a dataset without a full multiple alignment. Our algorithm can handle thousands of gene-length sequences without the need for a reference panel. We demonstrate the accuracy of our algorithm through extensive numerical simulations; in particular, it maintains its effectiveness in the presence of insertions and deletions. We apply our algorithm to a dataset of 17,335 DBLα types in var genes from Ghana, observing that sequences belonging to the same ups group or domain subclass recombine amongst themselves more frequently, and that non-recombinant DBLα types are more conserved than recombinant ones.AvailabilitySource code is freely available at https://github.com/qianfeng2/detREC_program.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Binding of FANCI-FANCD2 Complex to RNA and R-Loops Stimulates Robust FANCD2 Monoubiquitination.

Project description:Fanconi anemia (FA) is characterized by developmental abnormalities, bone marrow failure, and cancer predisposition. FA cells are hypersensitive to DNA replicative stress and accumulate co-transcriptional R-loops. Here, we use the Damage At RNA Transcription assay to reveal colocalization of FANCD2 with R-loops in a highly transcribed genomic locus upon DNA damage. We further demonstrate that highly purified human FANCI-FANCD2 (ID2) complex binds synthetic single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) and R-loop substrates with high affinity, preferring guanine-rich sequences. Importantly, we elucidate that human ID2 binds an R-loop structure via recognition of the displaced ssDNA and ssRNA but not the RNA:DNA hybrids. Finally, a series of RNA and R-loop substrates are found to strongly stimulate ID2 monoubiquitination, with activity corresponding to their binding affinity. In summary, our results support a mechanism whereby the ID2 complex suppresses the formation of pathogenic R-loops by binding ssRNA and ssDNA species, thereby activating the FA pathway.

The FANCD2-FANCI complex is recruited to DNA interstrand crosslinks before monoubiquitination of FANCD2.

Project description:The Fanconi anaemia (FA) pathway is important for the repair of DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICL). The FANCD2-FANCI complex is central to the pathway, and localizes to ICLs dependent on its monoubiquitination. It has remained elusive whether the complex is recruited before or after the critical monoubiquitination. Here, we report the first structural insight into the human FANCD2-FANCI complex by obtaining the cryo-EM structure. The complex contains an inner cavity, large enough to accommodate a double-stranded DNA helix, as well as a protruding Tower domain. Disease-causing mutations in the Tower domain are observed in several FA patients. Our work reveals that recruitment of the complex to a stalled replication fork serves as the trigger for the activating monoubiquitination event. Taken together, our results uncover the mechanism of how the FANCD2-FANCI complex activates the FA pathway, and explains the underlying molecular defect in FA patients with mutations in the Tower domain.

Adding unaligned sequences into an existing alignment using MAFFT and LAST.

Project description:UnlabelledTwo methods to add unaligned sequences into an existing multiple sequence alignment have been implemented as the '--add' and '--addfragments' options in the MAFFT package. The former option is a basic one and applicable only to full-length sequences, whereas the latter option is applicable even when the unaligned sequences are short and fragmentary. These methods internally infer the phylogenetic relationship among the sequences in the existing alignment and the phylogenetic positions of unaligned sequences. Benchmarks based on two independent simulations consistently suggest that the "--addfragments" option outperforms recent methods, PaPaRa and PAGAN, in accuracy for difficult problems and that these three methods appropriately handle easy problems.Availabilityhttp://mafft.cbrc.jp/alignment/software/Contactkatoh@ifrec.osaka-u.ac.jpSupplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
