Project description:The insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein (IGF2BP1) is a conserved RNA-binding protein that regulates RNA stability, localization, and translation. IGF2BP1 is part of various ribonucleoprotein (RNP) condensates. However, the mechanism that regulates its assembly into condensates remains unknown. Here we found, using proteomics, that IGF2BP1 phosphorylation at S181 in a disordered linker is regulated in a stress-dependent manner. Phosphomimetic mutations in two disordered linkers, S181E and Y396E, modulated RNP condensate formation by IGF2BP1 without impacting its binding affinity for RNA. Intriguingly, the S181E mutant, which lies in linker 1, impaired IGF2BP1 condensate formation in vitro and in cells, whereas a Y396E mutant in the second linker increased condensate size and dynamics. Structural approaches showed that the first linker binds RNAs nonspecifically through its RGG/RG motif, an interaction weakened in the S181E mutant. Notably, linker 2 interacts with IGF2BP1’s folded domains and these interactions were partially impaired in the Y396E mutant. Our data reveal how phosphorylation modulates low affinity interaction networks in disordered linkers to regulate RNP condensate formation.

Project description:Protein translation is at the heart of cellular metabolism and its in-depth characterization is key for many lines of research. Recently, ribosome profiling became the state-of-the-art method to quantitatively characterize translation dynamics at a transcriptome-wide level. However, the strategy of library generation affects its outcomes. Here, we present a modified ribosomeprofiling protocol starting from yeast, human cells and vertebrate brain tissue. We use a DNA linker carrying four randomized positions at its 5â and a reverse-transcription (RT) primer with three randomized positions to reduce artifacts during library preparation. The use of seven randomized nucleotides allows to efficiently detect library-generation artifacts. We find that the effect of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) artifacts is relatively small for global analyses when sufficient input material is used. However, when input material is limiting, our strategy improves the sensitivity of gene-specific analyses. Furthermore, randomized nucleotides alleviate the skewed frequency of specific sequences at the 3â end of ribosome-protected fragments (RPFs) likely resulting from ligase specificity. Finally, strategies that rely on dual ligation show a high degree of gene-coverage variation. Taken together, our approach helps to remedy two of the main problems associated with ribosome-profiling data. This will facilitate the analysis of translational dynamics and increase our understanding of the influence of RNA modifications on translation.

Project description:Numerous reagents have been developed to enable chemical proteomic analysis of small molecule-protein interactomes. However, the performance of these reagents has not been systematically evaluated and compared. Herein, we report our efforts to conduct a parallel assessment of two widely-used chemically-cleavable linkers equipped with dialkoxydiphenylsilane (DADPS linker) and azobenzene (AZO linker) moieties. Profiling a cellular cysteinome using iodoacetamide alkyne probe demonstrated a significant discrepancy between the experimental results obtained through the application of each of the reagents. To better understand the source of observed discrepancy, a mass tolerant database search strategy using MSFragger software was performed. This resulted in identifying a previously unreported artifactual modification on the residual mass of the azobenzene linker. Furthermore, we conducted a comparative analysis of enrichment modes using both cleavable linkers. This effort determined that enrichment of proteolytic digests yielded a far greater number of identified cysteine residues than the enrichment conducted prior to protein digest. Inspired by recent studies where multiplexed quantitative labeling strategies were applied to cleavable biotin linkers, we combined this further optimized protocol using the DADPS cleavable linker with tandem mass tag (TMT) labeling to profile the FDA-approved covalent EGFR kinase inhibitor dacomitinib against the cysteinome of an epidermoid cancer cell line. Our analysis resulted in the detection and quantification of over 10,000 unique cysteine residues, a nearly 3-fold increase over previous studies that used cleavable biotin linkers for enrichment. Critically, cysteine residues corresponding to proteins directly as well as indirectly modulated by dacomitinib treatment were identified. Overall, our study suggests that the dialkoxydiphenylsilane linker could be broadly applied wherever chemically cleavable linkers are required for chemical proteomic characterization of cellular proteomes.

Project description:High-throughput sequencing of Drosophila pseudoobscura and Drosophila simulans small RNAs. ~18-26nt RNAs were isolated from total RNA using PAGE, ligation to adapters requires 5' monophosphate and 3' OH. Small RNAs were cloned from Drosophila pseudoobscura (heads and pooled 0-12 and 12-24 hour embryos) and Drosophila simulans (pooled 0-12 and 12-24 hour embryos). Sequencing was performed using the Illumina 1G platform. Following removal of 3' linker sequences, the clipped sequences longer than 18 nt were kept.

Project description:We describe the mass spectrometric analysis of the binding strength of a monoclonal mouse antibody (clone 18E9.D9, BioLegend, London, England) which was raised against the predominantly occuring phosphorylated linker sequence, HpTGEKP, of C2H2 zinc finger proteins (ZNF proteins) using a synthetic phospho-hexapeptide as epitope peptide. The epitope peptide resembles the sequence motive which occurs with highest frequency in all C2H2 zinc finger proteins. As this anti-HpTGEKP antibody is assumed to bind to various related phosphorylated C2H2 ZNF protein linker sequences as well, related phospho-peptide sequences were investigated for binding strength differences. To select the top ten phosphorylated linker sequence motives of all human C2H2 ZNF proteins, all potential C2H2 ZNF gene linker sequences were extracted from the Human Genome Reference Consortium database (Build 38, patch release 13). DNA sequence stretches with stop-codons were removed and the DNA codons from the remaining sequences were translated. The resulting amino acid sequences of all C2H2 ZNF protein linkers were ranked according to their frequencies of occurrence. From these top ten C2H2 ZNF protein linker sequences the respective phospho-hexapeptides were synthesized and their binding behaviors towards the anti-HpTGEKP phospho-peptide antibody were investigated by "Intact Transmission Epitope Mapping – Thermodynamic Weak-force Order (ITEM-TWO)".

Project description:Small RNAs play crucial roles in regulation of gene expression in many eukaryotes. Here, we report the cloning and characterization of 18-26 nt RNAs in the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum. This survey uncovered developmentally regulated microRNA candidates whose biogenesis, at least in one case, is dependent on a Dicer homolog, DrnB. Furthermore, we identified a large number of 21 nt RNAs originating from the DIRS-1 retrotransposon, clusters of which have been suggested to constitute centromeres. Small RNAs from another retrotransposon, Skipper, were significantly up-regulated in strains depleted of the second Dicer-like protein, DrnA, and a putative RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, RrpC. In contrast, the expression of DIRS-1 small RNAs was not altered in any of the analyzed strains. This suggests the presence of multiple RNAi pathways in D. discoideum. In addition, we isolated several small RNAs with antisense complementarity to mRNAs. Three of these mRNAs are developmentally regulated. Interestingly, all three corresponding genes express longer antisense RNAs from which the small RNAs may originate. In at least one case, the longer antisense RNA is complementary to the spliced but not the unspliced pre-mRNA, indicating synthesis by an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. Keywords: cDNA library; small RNA sequencing The aim of this study was to investigate the small RNA (18-26 nt) profile of Dictyostelium discoideum during growth and development. For this reason, we cloned and sequenced pooled small RNAs from growing single cells and from two different multicellular stages (16 and 24 hours of development). cDNA libraries of 18-26 nt D. discoideum RNAs were constructed according to two different protocols (Lee, R.C. and Ambros, V. (2001) Science, 294; Lau, N.C. et al (2001) Science, 294). Briefly, total RNA was isolated from growing D. discoideum AX4 strain cells as well as from cells developed for 16 hours and 24 hours, and the fractions were subsequently pooled. After size fractionation and ligation of a 3’ linker, the RNA was divided into two fractions, one of which was directly ligated to a 5’ linker, thus selecting for small RNAs with 5’ monophosphates. Following RT-PCR, the PCR fragments were cloned and sequenced. The second fraction was subjected to reverse transcription directly after 3’ ligation. Apart from synthesizing a complementary DNA strand, the reverse transcriptase adds a few non-templated C residues at the 3’ end. These C:s were then hybridized to a DNA oligo with three 3’ G:s followed by RT-PCR, cloning and sequencing. This approach is insensitive of the nature of the 5’ end of the small RNA.

Project description:Endogenous 24nt short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) derived mostly from intergenic and repetitive genomic regions constitute a major class of endogenous small RNAs in Arabidopsis thaliana. Accumulation of A. thaliana 24nt siRNAs requires the Dicer family member DCL3, and clear homologs of DCL3 exist in both flowering and non-flowering plants. However, the absence of a conspicuous 24nt peak in the total RNA populations of several non-flowering plants has raised the question of whether this class of siRNAs might, in contrast to the ancient 21nt microRNAs (miRNAs) and 21-22nt trans-acting siRNAs (tasiRNAs), be an angiosperm-specific innovation. Analysis of non-miRNA, non-tasiRNA hotspots of small RNA production within the genome of the moss Physcomitrella patens revealed multiple loci which consistently produced a mixture of 21-24nt siRNAs with a peak at 23nts. These Pp23SR loci were significantly enriched in transposon content, depleted in overlap with annotated genes, and typified by dense concentrations of the 5-methyl cytosine (5mC) DNA modification. Deep sequencing of small RNAs from two independent Ppdcl3 mutants showed that the P. patens DCL3 homolog is required for the accumulation of 22-24nt siRNAs, but not 21nt siRNAs, at Pp23SR loci. The 21nt component of Pp23SR-derived siRNAs was also unaffected by a mutation in the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase mutant Pprdr6. Transcriptome-wide, Ppdcl3 mutants specifically failed to accumulate 23 and 24nt small RNAs from repetitive regions. We conclude that intergenic/repeat-derived siRNAs are indeed a broadly conserved, distinct class of small regulatory RNAs within land plants. Our results also suggest that Pp DCL3 produces siRNAs of heterogenous size, unlike its A. thaliana homolog which generates exclusively 24nt siRNAs. Small RNAs from Wild-type (two technical replicates), rdr6-19 (two technical replicates), dcl3-5 (one sample), and dcl3-10 (one sample) were sequenced using a Solexa GA. Three different linkers were used for different samples and mixed prior to sequencing. linker 1: CTGTAGGCACCATCAAT (GPL7174 AND GSM313212, GSM313213) linker 2: CACTCGGGCACCAAGGA (GPL7175 AND GSM313214, GSM313215) linker 3: TTTAACCGCGAATTCCAG (GPL7176 AND GSM313216, GSM313217) Raw data: Two FASTQ files represent the raw data underlying the processed sample data in GSE12468. 080616_s_7_seq_GAK-2.fastq corresponds to GSM313212, GSM313214, and GSM313216. 080616_s_8_seq_GAK-3.fastq corresponds to GSM313213, GSM313215, and GSM313217. Experimentally, samples GSM313212, GSM313214, and GSM313216 (i.e., all three genotypes) were sequenced in the same run (hence the same FASTQ file). The sequencing run was a mixture of three different libraries with different linker sequences (as indicated above). These 'barcoded' samples were computationally extracted based on the linker sequences. This is also true for samples GSM313213, GSM313215, and GSM313217. Raw data were filtered to identify small RNAs associated with each linker. Subsequently, small RNAs were filtered to remove rRNA fragments. The remainder were mapped to the Physcomitrella patens draft genome version 1.2 (using oligomap) and filtered to retain only those with one or more perfect match. See Cho et al. for details.
