Project description:To analyse the genome-wide impact of inactivation of the ATAC or SAGA coactivator complexes on RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription, we purified newly synthesized RNA from mutant mouse embryonic stem (ES) cell lines in which subunits of ATAC (Yeats2, Zzz3) or SAGA (Supt7l) are inactivated or depleted. We also performed this analysis in mutant cell lines in which a subunit (Tada3) of the shared histone acetyltransferase activity of these two complexes is depleted. Newly synthesized RNA was purified following the 4sU labelling method (more details in extract protocol). For two wildtype samples, the total RNA input was also analysed.
Project description:24 polypeptides (21 amino acids long) were synthesized and mixed as a substrate library. Then, these substrates were acetylated by acetyl-CoA
Project description:Using a newly-developed workflow for quantitative newly synthesized proteome analysis (QuaNPA), featuring automated sample processing and multiplexed DIA (plexDIA) analysis, changes in the newly synthesized proteome of IFN-gamma treated Hela cells were monitored over time.
Project description:Sequencing newly synthesized transcriptome in addition to the regular transcriptome in single cells enable the study of gene expression temporal dynamics during rapid chromatin and gene regulation processes. However, current single-cell newly synthesized transcriptome assays require in-house technology expertise to achieve a high cellular throughput, preventing their widespread application. Here, we develop NOTE-seq to simultaneously profile regular and newly synthesized transcriptome in single cells. NOTE-seq combines 4-thiouridine labeling of newly synthesized RNA, thiol-alkylation-based chemical conversion, and the streamlined 10X Genomics platform, offering a high cellular throughput accessible to and convenient for regular biology labs without single-cell technology expertise. Using NOTE-seq, we investigate the temporal dynamics of gene expression during early-stage T-cell activation in human Jurkat T cells and mouse naïve T cells, characterize transcription factors and regulons, and discover Fli-1 as a master transcription factor for gene regulation upon T-cell activation. Interestingly, Fli-1 level in T cells is sensitive to the treatment of camptothecin, a topoisomerase inhibitor used in cancer chemotherapy, indicating its potential complication on the immune system.
Project description:Innate stimulation with TLR ligands leads to the activation of various genes in macrophages and various populations of these cells may exhibit different responses. Here wanted to delineate and characterize these transcriptional responses in newly established, self-renewing, in vitro grown non-transformed lines (MPI cells) and bone marrow derived macrophages We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression Newly synthesized RNA from independently established MPI lines and bone marrow derived macrophages was extracted and hybridized to Affymetrix microarrays
