Project description:The development of affinity purification technologies together with mass spectrometric analyses of the purified protein mixtures (AP-MS) has been used both to identify new protein-protein interactions and to define the subunit composition of protein complexes. Transcription factor protein interactions, however, have not been systematically analyzed using these approaches. Here, we have investigated whether ectopic expression of an affinity tagged transcription factor as bait in AP-MS experiments perturbs gene expression in cells resulting in false positive identification of bait associated proteins when typical experimental controls are used. Using quantitative proteomics and RNA-Seq, we determined that the increase in the abundance of a set of proteins caused by overexpression of the transcription factor RelA is not sufficient for these proteins to then copurify non-specifically and be misidentified as bait associated proteins. Therefore typical controls should be sufficient and a number of different baits can be compared with a common set of controls. This is of practical interest when identifying bait interactors from a large number of different baits. As expected, we found several known RelA interactors enriched in our RelA purifications (NFêB1, NFêB2, Rel, RelB, IêBá, IêBâ and IêBå). We also found several proteins not previously described in association with RelA, including the small mitochondrial chaperone Tim13. Using a variety of biochemical approaches, we further investigated the nature of the association between Tim13 and NFêB family transcription factors. The work here therefore provides a conceptual and experimental framework for analyzing transcription faction protein interactions. Gene expression profiles were assayed in triplicate from HEK293 cells expressing either Halo-RelA, Halo-NFkB1, or Halo tag alone.

Project description:Differentiation of monolayered epithelia is characterized by the formation of a basoapical polarity axis, except during the early stages of cancer development. Using mammary glandular structures (acini) produced in a three-dimensional cell culture system we have demonstrated that, in order for mammary epithelial cells to exit quiescence and enter the cell cycle, acini have to lose apical polarity. In order to identify the genes dependent on apical polarity that could control cell quiescence, and possibly other aspects of tissue homeostasis, we have used Affymetrix technology microarray analysis of the 22,277 features/genes of the Human Genome U133A 2.0 array Chip in apically polarized and non-polarized breast epithelial acinar cells in three-dimensional culture. Genes commonly down-regulated in two treatments that altered apical polarity compared to control were considered to be dependent on apical polarity status for their transcription. Apically polarized (Control) and two different populations of non-polarized human mammary epithelial cells (18-alpha-glycyrrhetinic acid =AGA, and 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine =Aza) were used for microarray analysis containing four biological replicates (1-4) for each treatment. The two treatments that cause loss of apical polarity were compared to reference apically polarized control samples using two different statistical analysis methods (FDR and HolmM-bM-^@M-^Ys).

Project description:The earliest aspects of human embryogenesis remain mysterious. To model patterning events in the human embryo we used colonies of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) grown on micropatterned substrate and differentiated with BMP4. These recapitulate the embryonic arrangement of the mammalian germ layers and provide an assay to assess the structural and signaling mechanisms patterning the human gastrula. Structurally, high-density hESCs relocalize their TGF-β receptors to their lateral side in the center of the colony, while maintaining apical localization of receptors at the edge. This relocalization insulates central cells from apically applied ligands while maintaining response to basally presented ones. Additionally, BMP4 directly induces the expression of its own inhibitor, Noggin, generating a reaction-diffusion mechanism that underlies patterning. We develop a quantitative model that integrates edge sensing and inhibitors, to predict human fate positioning in micropatterns, and potentially the human embryo.

Project description:During development, multicellular rosettes serve as important cellular intermediates in the formation of diverse organ systems. Multicellular rosettes are transient epithelial structures that are defined by the apical constriction of cells towards the rosette center. Due to the important role these structures play during development, understanding the molecular mechanisms by which rosettes are formed and maintained is of high interest. Utilizing the zebrafish posterior lateral line primordium (pLLP) as a model system, we identify the RhoA GEF Mcf2lb as a regulator of rosette integrity. The pLLP is a group of ~150 cells that migrates along the zebrafish trunk and is organized into epithelial rosettes; these are deposited along the trunk and will differentiate into sensory organs called neuromasts (NMs). Using single-cell RNA sequencing and whole-mount in situ hybridization, we showed that mcf2lb is expressed in the pLLP during migration. Given the known role of RhoA in rosette formation, we asked whether Mcf2lb plays a role in regulating apical constriction of cells within rosettes. Live imaging and subsequent 3D analysis of mcf2lb mutant pLLP cells showed disrupted apical constriction and subsequent rosette organization. This in turn resulted in a unique posterior Lateral Line phenotype: an excess number of deposited NMs along the trunk of the zebrafish. Cell polarity markers ZO-1 and Par-3 were apically localized, indicating that pLLP cells are normally polarized. In contrast, signaling components that mediate apical constriction downstream of RhoA, Rock-2a and non-muscle Myosin II were diminished apically. Altogether our results suggest a model whereby Mcf2lb activates RhoA, which in turn activates downstream signaling machinery to induce and maintain apical constriction in cells incorporated into rosettes.

Project description:Asymmetrical localization of biomolecules inside the egg, results in uneven cell division and two daughter cells with different fates. This phenomenon is required for the establishment of many biological processes and is particularly responsible for the great variety of cell types formed during developmentand requires strict timing and positional control. The key molecules determining the body plan are the mRNAs, of which many examples have already been discovered to be asymmetrically localized during oogenesis and embryogenesis in both the amphibian and fish models. However, our knowledge about evolutionary conservation or differences of localized mRNAs is still limited to a few candidates. Our goal has been to compare localization profiles along the animal-vegetal axis of mature eggs of four diverse models, Xenopus laevis, Danio rerio, Ambystoma mexicanum and Acipenser ruthenus using the spatial expression analysis method called TOMO-Seq. Surprisingly, we revealed RNAs that code for many known important genes such as germ layer determinants, germ plasm factors and members of key signalling pathways, are localized in completely different profiles among the models and sometimes even missing in their genomes. We determined the transcriptome distribution and found a poor correlation between the vegetally localized genes but a relatively good correlation between the animally localized genes. These findings indicate that the regulation of embryonic development within the animal kingdom is highly diverse and cannot be deduced based on a single model.

Project description:The identification of miRNA targets by Ago2-CLIP methods has provided major insights into the biology of this important class of non-coding RNAs. However, these methods are technically challenging and not easily translated to an in vivo setting. To overcome these limitations and to facilitate the investigation of miRNA functions in mice, we have developed a method (HEAP) to map miRNA-mRNA binding sites. This method uses a novel mouse strain harboring a conditional Halo-Ago2 allele expressed from the Ago2 locus. By using a resin conjugated to the HaloTag ligand, Ago2-miRNA-mRNA complexes can be efficiently purified from cells and tissues expressing Halo-Ago2. We demonstrate the reproducibility and sensitivity of this method in embryonic stem cells, in embryos, in adult tissues and in autochthonous mouse models of cancers. These tools and datasets are valuable resources to the scientific community and will facilitate the characterization of miRNA functions under physiological and pathological conditions.
