Project description:(1)Background: Dipeptidyl Peptidases IV (DPPIVs), present in many organisms, are minor components in the venoms of Hymenoptera, where they have been shown as cross-reactive allergenic molecules. Since the structure of homologous DPPIVs is well characterized, we explain which regions have higher similarity among these proteins and present a comparison including a new Vespa velutina DPPIV sequence. Moreover, two cases of sensitization to DPPIV in wasps- and honeybees-sensitized patients are presented. (2) Methods: Proteomic analyses have been performed on the venom of the Asian Hornet V.velutina, in order to demonstrate the sequence of its DPPIV (putative allergen Vesp v 3). Comparison by alignments and analysis of the three-dimensional structure allow to show a region with higher similarity among Hymenoptera DPPIVs. Besides, ImmunoCAP™ determinations (including specific inhibition experiments), as well as IgE-immunoblotting, demonstrate the presence of Api m 5 and Ves v 3. (3) Results and conclusions: The data presented explain that the similarities among Hymenoptera DPPIVs are most probably localized at the C-terminal region of these enzymes. The clinical cases analyzed demonstrate the presence of this minor component in the preparations used in venom immunotherapy. Moreover, a new DPPIV sequence is published (Accession Number P0DRB8).

Project description:In this study we used mice lacking Evf2 (Evf2TS/TS) and mice expressing a truncated form of Evf2 (Evf1TS/TS) to determine UCE lncRNA epigenetic and chromosome toplogical control. We used 4Cseq to investigate how Evf2 regulates UCE interactions along chromosome 6 (where Evf2 is expressed). We used ChIpseq to compare histone methylation profiles from Evf2TS/TS and Evf1TS/TS. In addition, we used ChIPseq to determine Evf2-depedent regulation of cohesin subunit binding (SMC1 and SMC3) and histone H3K27acetylation. Together, these data support that Evf2 UCE lncRNA controls chromosome topology over multi-megabse distances, through cohesin binding and effects on histone methylation and acetylation. Also included is the ChIPseq profile of Dlx binding sites in SW (outbred strain of mice) from E13.5 GE.

Project description:Cullin-RING ubiquitin ligases (CRLs) control the degradation of a wide landscape of human proteins in combination with ubiquitin-carrying enzymes (UCEs). CRL expansion during evolution is apparent, with a few dozen in yeast that function with a single UCE and as many as 300 in humans that function with at least 8 UCEs. A major unaddressed question is why human CRL buildup has been accompanied by additional UCEs that function with CRLs. Here we demonstrate that human CRLs and UCEs can display specificity, resulting in increased affinity for each other and enhanced rates of ubiquitin transfer to substrates. To uncover the structural basis for CRL-UCE specificity, cryo-EM was performed on a CRL2 subfamily member with substrate receptor subunit FEM1C (CRL2FEM1C) in complex with a proxy for catalytically active UCE. The structure elucidated an extensive CRL-UCE interface that promotes proximity between the UCE active site and CRL2FEM1C-bound substrate. Unanticipated selectivity was also observed between the CRL substrate Lys ubiquitylation sites and the identity of the UCE. CRL-UCE specificity also manifests during targeted protein degradation by affecting the activities of drugs that induce ubiquitylation of neosubstrates. An emerging CRL code is revealed that drives selective formation of CRL-UCE complexes to promote rapid substrate ubiquitylation.

Project description:Seasonal photoperiodic changes have strong impact on development in Nasonia vitripennis. Here, Using high-throughput Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing (RRBS) and single-molecule-based sequencing, we generated DNA methylation maps of female wasps maintained in long vs short day. We have identified differential methylated loci that encode the photoperiodic change. analysis of DNA methylation in female wasps maintained in long vs short day, using RRBS followed by Illumina sequencing

Project description:Upon pathogenic infection, drosophila larval host mounts an immune response. Parasitic wasps inject venom that contain virulence factors during oviposition, which can elicit host immune response, and in some cases, suppress host immune responses altogether. Several microarray experiments have been performed on different classes of parasitic wasps. We wanted to compare how Ganaspis xanthopoda-infected hosts respond compared to other classes of parasitic wasps.
