Project description:Eukaryotic gene expression regulation involves thousands of distal regulatory elements. Understanding the quantitative contribution of individual enhancers to gene expression is critical for assessing the role of disease-associated genetic risk variants. Yet, we lack the ability to accurately link genes with their distal regulatory elements. To address this, we used 3D enhancer-promoter (E-P) associations identified using split-pool recognition of interactions by tag extension (SPRITE) to build a predictive model of gene expression. Our model dramatically outperforms models using genomic proximity and can be used to determine the quantitative impact of enhancer loss on gene expression in different genetic backgrounds. We show that genes that form stable E-P hubs have less cell-to-cell variability in gene expression. Finally, we identified transcription factors that regulate stimulation-dependent E-P interactions. Together, our results provide a framework for understanding quantitative contributions of E-P interactions and associated genetic variants to gene expression.

Project description:We develop Split-Pool Recognition of Interactions by Tag Extension (SPRITE), which enables genome-wide detection of higher-order interactions that occur simultaneously within the nucleus in a proximity-ligation independent manner. We generated SPRITE maps in two mammalian cell types – mouse embryonic stem cells (mES) and human lymphoblastoid cells (GM12878). We generated ~1.5 billion sequencing reads from each sample and recapitulate known genome structures identified by Hi-C, including chromosome territories, compartments, topologically associated domains, and loop structures, and identify that many of these occur within higher-order structures in the nucleus. Because SPRITE does not rely on proximity-ligation, we find that SPRITE identifies interactions that occur across larger spatial distances than can be observed by Hi-C. These long-range interactions include two major hubs of inter-chromosomal interactions. We extended SPRITE to enable simultaneous measurements of RNA and DNA interactions and observe ribosomal RNA interactions across specific regions on the genome that correspond to DNA organization around the nucleolus. We show that gene-dense regions that are highly transcribed by PolII organize around nuclear speckles and gene poor, and therefore transcriptionally inactive, regions that are centromere-proximal organize around the nucleolus. In addition to the regions that directly associate around these nuclear bodies, we find that a substantial fraction of the genome exhibits preferential spatial positioning in the nucleus relative to each of these nuclear bodies and that the spatial preferences identified by SPRITE are highly correlated with 3D distances measured by microscopy.

Project description:A principle of communication technology, frequency mixing, describes how novel oscillations are generated when rhythmic inputs converge on a nonlinearly activating target. As expected given that neurons are nonlinear integrators, it was demonstrated that neuronal networks exhibit mixing in response to imposed oscillations of known frequencies. However, determining when mixing occurs in spontaneous conditions, where weaker or more variable rhythms prevail, has remained impractical. Here, we show that, by exploiting the predicted phase (rather than frequency) relationships between oscillations, the contributions of mixing can be readily identified, even in small samples of noisy data. Assessment of extracellular data using this approach revealed that frequency mixing is widely expressed in a state- and region-dependent manner and that oscillations emerging from mixing entrain unit activity. Frequency mixing is thus intrinsic to the structure of neural activity and contributes importantly to neural dynamics.

Project description:Chromatin loops are a major componant of 3D nuclear organization that appear as intense point-to-point interactions in Hi-C maps. Identification of these loops is an important part of Hi-C analysis. We present SIP, Significant Interaction Peak caller, a platform independent program to identify these loops in a time and memory efficient manner and which is resistant to noise and sequencing depth. We also present a companion tool, SIPMeta, to create more visually accurate average plots of Hi-C and HiChIP data. We then demonstrate that use of SIP and SIPMeta can lead to biological insight through characterizing the contribution of several transcription factors to CTCF loops in human cells. We then use SIP and SIPMeta to discover loops associated with condensin IDCC in C. elegans and confirm these loops by HiChIP. These loops form a network of interactions and likely explain the partial condensation of dosage compensated X chromosomes in hermaphrodites.

Project description:Previous research has linked perceived social isolation (loneliness) to reduced antiviral immunity, but the immunologic effects of the objective social isolation imposed by pandemic “shelter in place” (SIP) policies is unknown. We assessed the immunologic impact of SIP by relocating 21 adult male rhesus macaques from 2000 sq-m field cage communities of 70-132 other macaques to 2 wks of individual housing in indoor shelters. SIP was associated with down-regulation of Type I interferon (IFN) antiviral gene expression. This effect emerged within the first 48 hrs of SIP, persisted for at least 2 wks, and abated within 4 wks of return to social housing. A subsequent round of SIP in the presence of a novel juvenile macaque abrogated this effect. These results identify a significant adverse effect of SIP social isolation on antiviral immune regulation in circulating immune cells and they suggest a potential behavioral strategy for ameliorating such effects by promoting pro-social engagement during SIP.

Project description:NMR metabolic fingerprinting methods almost exclusively rely upon the use of one-dimensional (1D) 1H NMR data to gain insights into chemical differences between two or more experimental classes. While 1D 1H NMR spectroscopy is a powerful, highly informative technique that can rapidly and nondestructively report details of complex metabolite mixtures, it suffers from significant signal overlap that hinders interpretation and quantification of individual analytes. Two-dimensional (2D) NMR methods that report heteronuclear connectivities can reduce spectral overlap, but their use in metabolic fingerprinting studies is limited. We describe a generalization of Adaptive Intelligent binning that enables its use on multidimensional datasets, allowing the direct use of nD NMR spectroscopic data in bilinear factorizations such as principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares (PLS).

Project description:Intracellular accumulation of a-synuclein (a-syn) and formation of Lewy bodies are neuropathological characteristics of Parkinson‘s disease (PD), related a-synucleinopathies, and other neurodegenerative diseases. Recent evidence suggests that oligomerization and spreading of a-syn from neuron to neuron are key events contributing to the development of PD. To directly visualize and characterize a-syn oligomerization and spreading in vivo, we generated two independent conditional transgenic mouse models based on a-syn protein complementation assays using both split Gaussia luciferase and split Venus YFP. These inducible, neuron-specific transgenic mice allow to directly assess the quantity and subcellular distribution of a-syn oligomers in vivo. Using these innovative mouse models we demonstrate an age dependent accumulation of a specific subtype of a-syn oligomers and their synaptic localization in vivo. We provide in vivo evidence that although a-syn is found throughout neurons a-syn oligomerization takes place at the presynapse. Furthermore, our new mouse models provide strong evidence for a long distance transsynaptic cell-to-cell transfer of de novo generated a-syn oligomers in vivo.

Project description:The limit of 15N detection in proteins of Pseudomonas putida was studied by LC-MS/MS. Cells were grown in the presence of 0.1%15N to 10% 15N.The method of protein-based stable isotope probing (protein-SIP) has previously been shown to allow the modeling of carbon fluxes in microbial communities, demonstrating its high benefit in microbial ecology. The method’s high sensitivity allows the analysis of stable isotope distribution in target molecules, revealing metabolic activities of the species present in an ecosystem. Besides carbon, an application of protein-SIP with nitrogen is of interest for resolving the nitrogen fluxes in microbial communities. Thus, the sensitivity and reliability of a protein-SIP approach employing ^15 N was analyzed. For this, cultivations of Pseudomonas fluorescens ATCC 17483 with different ratios of ^14 N:^15 N were performed, from 10 % down to 0.1 % ^15 N. After incubation leading to complete labeling of biomass, proteins were extracted and separated by one-dimensional gel electrophoresis (1-DE), followed by tryptic digest and UPLC Orbitrap MS/MS analysis. ^15 N relative isotope abundance (RIA) was calculated based on isotopic patterns from identified peptides in mass spectra. The distribution of ^15 N RIA values among peptides was analyzed in samples with different ^15 N amount, and potential causes for variations within individual samples of either technical or biological origin were investigated. Using a number of 50 peptides, significant differences in ^15 N incorporation were found down to 0.1 % RIA. The study demonstrates that protein-SIP using ^15 N is sufficiently sensitive for quantitative investigation of microbial activity in nitrogen cycling processes. Raw data were processed for database search using Thermo Proteome Discoverer software (v1.0 build 43). Search was performed by tandem mass spectrometry ion search algorithms from the Mascot house server (v2.2.1). The following parameters were selected: /Pseudomonas fluorescens/ sequences of NCBInr (NCBI, version June 2012 and later) as criterion for taxonomy, tryptic cleavage, maximal two missed cleavage sites. A peptide tolerance threshold of ± 10 ppm and an MS/MS tolerance threshold of ± 0.2 Da were chosen. Carbamidomethylation at cysteines was given as static and oxidation of methionines as variable modification. Peptide identification data from all samples were merged using Thermo® Proteome Discoverer software (v1.0 build 43, Thermo Fisher Scientific). Only rank 1 peptides that reached a false-positive probability less than 0.05 in at least one sample were considered for further analysis.
