ENCoRE: a lightweight software for CRISPR screens identifies new players in apoptosis

ABSTRACT: As CRISPR/Cas9 mediated screens with pooled sgRNA libraries in somatic cells become increasingly established, an unmet need for rapid and accurate companion informatics tools has emerged. We have developed a lightweight standalone software to easily manipulate raw large next generation sequencing (NGS) datasets derived from such screens into informative relational context with graphical support. We demonstrate the capabilities of the software to interrogate meaningful results from an in vitro viability screen using Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNFa). The results not only identified stereotypical players in extrinsic apoptotic signaling but two as yet uncharacterized members of the apoptotic cascade, Smg7 and Ces2a. We further characterized cell lines containing mutations in these genes against a panel of cell death stimuli. In summary, this software enables bench scientists without access to informatic cores to rapidly access and interpret results from large scale experiments resulting from CRISPR/Cas9 library screens.

Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay relies on "two-factor authentication" by SMG5-SMG7

Project description:Eukaryotic gene expression is constantly regulated and controlled by the translation-coupled nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) pathway. Aberrant translation termination leads to NMD activation and robust clearance of NMD targets via two seemingly independent and redundant mRNA degradation branches. Here, we uncover that the loss of the first SMG5-SMG7-dependent pathway also inactivates the second SMG6-dependent branch, indicating an unexpected functional hierarchy of the final NMD steps. Transcriptome-wide analyses of SMG5-SMG7-depleted cells confirm complete NMD inhibition resulting in massive transcriptomic alterations. The NMD activity conferred by SMG5-SMG7 is determined to varying degrees by their interaction with the central NMD factor UPF1, heterodimer formation and the initiation of deadenylation. Surprisingly, we find that SMG5 functionally substitutes SMG7 and vice versa. Our data support an improved model for NMD execution that features two-factor authentication involving UPF1 phosphorylation and SMG5-SMG7 recruitment to access SMG6 activity.

mRNA-Seq from control cells and two clones of Flp-In-T-REx-293 cells modified via CRISPR-Cas9 to knockout SMG7 in combination to knockdowns of control, SMG5, and SMG6

Project description:Mature mRNAs undergo quality control during translation that may lead to RNA degradation by triggering the nonsense mediated decay (NMD) pathway. Aberrant translation due to features such as the presence of a premature stop codon downstream on an exon-exon junction or an intron in the 3'UTR activates NMD. However, many of the features that lead to the activation of this pathway are unclear. UPF1, an RNA helicase, is the core NMD factor. UPF1 forms a multi-protein complex by recruiting a series of factors and other protein complexes in a process that depends on the UPF1 phosphorylation-dephosphorylation cycle. Among the factors recruited by UPF1, SMG5-SMG7 and SMG6 have critical importance in executing NMD. The SMG5-SMG7 heterodimer induces the exonucleolytic degradation of the mRNA, which depends on the recruitment of deadenylation factors. SMG6 has endonucleolytic activity and cleaves the targeted transcript close to the stop codon. The redundancy between the exonucleolytic and endonucleolytic paths to achieve degradation during NMD has been previously reported in the literature. To investigate the apparent redundancy between SMG5-SMG7 and SMG6 activity and to further understand the features that lead to the activation of NMD, we have generated two clones of SMG7 knockout human cells using CRISPR-Cas9. We generated mRNA-Sequencing data for control and both SMG7 KO clones with additional siRNA-mediated knockdown of Luciferase (Luc) as control, SMG5 or SMG6.

Searching for Pseudomonas aeruginosa MagD partners

Project description:Opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa synthesizes a structural homologue of the human alpha2-Macroglobulin protein, a large spectrum protease inhibitor and important player of innate immunity. Delta-MagD and MagD-WT Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains were lysed and lysates submitted to co-immunoprecipitation using anti-MagD antibody (2 biological replicates). Immunoprecipitated proteins were in-gel digested and resulting peptides analysed by nanoLC-MS/MS. Identifications were realised using Mascot and filtered using IRMa software (1% FDR). Results were exported to a relational database (MSIdb) and processed using hEIDI software to identify proteins enriched in MagD-WT samples compared to delta-MagD samples.

Plasticity of ether lipids promotes ferroptosis susceptibility and evasion

Project description:Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent, non-apoptotic cell death program, is involved in a variety of degenerative diseases and represents a targetable vulnerability in certain cancers. The ferroptosis-susceptible cell-state can either preexist in cells arising from certain lineages or be acquired during cell-state transitions. Precisely how ferroptosis susceptibility is dynamically regulated remains poorly understood. Using genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 suppressor screens, we identify a key role for peroxisome–ether phospholipid genes in driving ferroptosis susceptibility and evasion in ovarian cancer.

Integrated Genetic and Pharmacologic Interrogation of Rare Cancers

Project description:<p>Due to the paucity of patient derived models in rare cancers, identification of therapeutic targets remains challenging. We developed a patient derived model, CLF-PED-015-T, from a patient with an undifferentiated sarcoma. From this model, we performed pooled RNAi and CRISPR-Cas9 negative selection screens and integrated that with a small molecule screen. Integration of these data identified CDK4 and XPO1 as potential therapeutic targets.</p>
