Project description:Cells constantly survey a complex set of inputs that is processed by the intracellular signaling network, but little is known of how cells integrate input information from more than one cue. We employed a FRET biosensor-based imaging platform to study the effect of combinatorial growth factor levels on the signaling network in human cells. We found that pairwise stimuli caused distinct concentration- and ratio-dependent signaling states through signaling signatures such as antagonism, additivity, and synergy. The unique signaling states correlated with differential gene expression and non-additive transcription patterns. We further elucidated how a signal-rich environment can fine-tune the signaling network and adjust physiological outcomes, by kinase and phosphatase activity profiling. We describe how complex extracellular conditions affect phospho-turnover and the basal phosphorylation status. Thus, we provide mechanistic insights into cellular processing of multiple cues and explain part of the complexity of cellular adaptation to changes in the extracellular environment.

Project description:Neves2008 - Role of cell shape and size in controlling intracellular signalling
The role of cell shape and size in the flow of spatial information from the cell surface receptor to downstream components within the cell has been studied on the β-adrenergic receptor to MAPK-signalling network.

Abstract:
The role of cell size and shape in controlling local intracellular signaling reactions, and how this spatial information originates and is propagated, is not well understood. We have used partial differential equations to model the flow of spatial information from the beta-adrenergic receptor to MAPK1,2 through the cAMP/PKA/B-Raf/MAPK1,2 network in neurons using real geometries. The numerical simulations indicated that cell shape controls the dynamics of local biochemical activity of signal-modulated negative regulators, such as phosphodiesterases and protein phosphatases within regulatory loops to determine the size of microdomains of activated signaling components. The model prediction that negative regulators control the flow of spatial information to downstream components was verified experimentally in rat hippocampal slices. These results suggest a mechanism by which cellular geometry, the presence of regulatory loops with negative regulators, and key reaction rates all together control spatial information transfer and microdomain characteristics within cells.

Project description:B cells differentiate into antibody-producing plasma cells, which are critical for humoral immunity, autoimmunity, and vaccine responses. Despite the importance of environmental stressors on regulating humoral immune responses, the influence of pH on PC differentiation has not been described. Here, we identified SLC4A7, a sodium/bicarbonate cotransporter, as a selective regulator of PC differentiation. SLC4A7 deletion impaired the formation of PCs and humoral immunity to influenza A virus infection in mice. Mechanistically, we find that SLC4A7 prevents acidification of intracellular pH and thus maintains lysosomal function and mTORC1 activity. Loss of SLC4A7 suppresses PC differentiation under conditions of extracellular acidosis in vitro and in a mouse model of metabolic acidosis. Here we reveal a novel relationship between the regulation of intracellular pH by SLC4A7 and mTORC1-dependent PC differentiation and humoral immunity.

Project description:Binding of transcription factors to DNA is mediated by the recognition of the chemical signatures of the DNA bases and the three-dimensional shape of the DNA molecule. The direct contribution of DNA shape to DNA-binding specificity has been difficult to assess, as DNA shape is a consequence of its sequence. Here, we teased apart these two modes of recognition in the context of Hox-DNA binding. We made a series of mutations in Hox residues that, in a co-crystal structure, only recognize DNA shape, and tested the effect on DNA binding preferences using SELEX-seq. Analysis of shape features of selected sequences revealed that these residues are both necessary and sufficient for selection of sequences with distinct shape features. We used statistical machine learning to show that the accuracy of binding specificity predictions improves by adding shape features to a model that only depends on sequence. We conclude that shape readout is a direct and critical component of binding site selection by Hox proteins. Three rounds of SELEX were performed on a series of Hox mutants as described in Slattery et al, Cell, 2011 (PMID 22153072) and Riley et al, Methods in molecular Biology, 2014 (PMID 25151169). Briefly, His-tagged Scr and Antp mutant proteins were incubated with a randomized 16mer oligonucleotide library, and bound DNA was amplified and sequenced as described (PMID 22153072, PMID 25151169).

Project description:A total of 102 garlic accession were performed for mRNA sequencing, and then were used for scoring the variations in both gene sequence (SNPs) and expression (GE) in this population. Thereafter, SNPs and GE are used for carrying out association analysis with the phenotype of shape of garlic clove, respectively, which comes to a joint decision for the candidate genes that are involved in trait. In addition, SNPs and GE data is used as genotype and phenotype, respectively, for performing eQTL analysis to ascertain the interaction among trait-controlled genes, which finally brings a regulatory network for the shape of garlic clove.

Project description:Histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) play a critical role in chromatin regulation. It has been proposed that these PTMs form localized “codes” that are read by specialized domains (reader domains) in chromatin associated proteins (CAPs) to regulate downstream function. Substantial effort has been made to define [CAP - histone PTM] specificity, and in doing so to decipher the histone code. However, this has largely been done using a reductive approach of isolated reader domains and histone peptides, with the assumption that PTM readout is unaffected by any higher order considerations. Here we show that histone PTM specificity is in fact dependent on nucleosomal context, necessitating we re-define the ‘histone code’ concept and further interrogate it at the nucleosomal level.

Project description:The shape of a cell within tissues can represent the history of chemical and physical signals that it encounters, but can information from cell shape regulate cellular phenotype independently? Using optimal control theory to constrain reaction-diffusion schemes that are dependent on different surface-to-volume relationships, we find that information from cell shape can be resolved from mechanical signals. We used microfabricated 3-D biomimetic chips to validate predictions that shape-sensing occurs in a tension-independent manner through β3 integrin signaling pathway in human kidney podocytes and smooth muscle cells. Differential proteomics and functional ablation assays indicate that β3 integrin is critical in transduction of shape signals through ezrin-radixin-moesin (ERM) family. We used experimentally determined diffusion coefficients and experimentally validated simulations to show that shape sensing is an emergent cellular property enabled by multiple molecular characteristics of β3 integrin. We conclude that 3-D cell shape information, transduced through tension-independent mechanisms, can regulate phenotype.

Project description:Two-dimensional patterning of the follicular epithelium in Drosophila oogenesis is required for the formation of three-dimensional eggshell structures. Our analysis of a large number of published gene expression patterns in the follicle cells suggests that they follow a simple combinatorial code based on six spatial building blocks and the operations of union, difference, intersection, and addition. The building blocks are related to the distribution of inductive signals, provided by the highly conserved epidermal growth factor receptor and Decapentaplegic (DPP) pathways. We demonstrate the validity of the code by testing it against a set of patterns obtained in a large-scale transcriptional profiling experiment. Using the proposed code, we distinguish 36 distinct patterns for 81 genes expressed in the follicular epithelium and characterize their joint dynamics over four stages of oogenesis. The proposed combinatorial framework allows systematic analysis of the diversity and dynamics of two-dimensional transcriptional patterns and guides future studies of gene regulation.
