Project description:Aneuploidy is a condition frequently found in tumor cells but how it affects cellular physiology is not known. We have characterized one aspect of aneuploidy, the gain of extra chromosomes. We created a collection of haploid yeast strains that each bear an extra copy of one or more of almost all of the yeast chromosomes. Their characterization revealed that aneuploid strains share a number of phenotypes, including defects in cell cycle progression, increased glucose uptake and increased sensitivity to conditions interfering with protein synthesis and protein folding. These phenotypes were observed only in strains carrying additional yeast genes indicating that they reflect the consequences of additional transcription and translation as well as the resulting imbalances in cellular protein composition. We conclude that aneuploidy causes not only a proliferative disadvantage but also a set of phenotypes that is independent of the identity of the individual extra chromosomes. Keywords: CGH, gene expression This series of microarrays compares yeast strains carrying extra chromosomes to wt yeast with normal chromosome content. Both DNA/CGH and gene expression comparisons were done, as noted. In some experiments, biological replicates were performed as noted. Reference wt nucleic acid was most commonly labeled with Cy3. Experiments labeled as "swap" have the wt reference nucleic acid labeled with Cy5, and ratio values for these experiments are reported as Cy3/Cy5.

Project description:This is part of a cross-species approach to characterize transcriptional response of the insect prothoracic gland (PG) to the prothoracicotropic hormone (PTTH). Genome-wide response of the PG to PTTH was analyzed in vitro in Bombyx and in vivo in Drosophila, and the results were compared to identify common components in the PTTH signaling pathway. Bombyx PGs were incubated in vitro for 1 or 3 hours with or without 10 nM recombinant PTTH. 12-18 larvae were used to prepare each RNA sample, and the experiment was conducted twice. Total RNA samples from two independent preparations were combined to obtain a single RNA sample for each treatment, which was subjected to RNA-seq.

Project description:microRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs involved in the coordination and/or fine-tuning of gene expression. As such, miRNAs are thought to be critical cis-acting regulatory factors that control a wide range of physiological processes in the brain. The datasets presented here represent the miRNA transcriptome of the adult and larval Drosophila melanogaster CNS as determined by small RNA deep sequencing (RNA-Seq). They were derived from adult and larval samples explanted from the animal that contain minimal extraneous (non-neuronal) tissues. Here we present a concise summary of our profiling results as well as the original sequencing data. We identify many miRNAs that are expressed at equal levels in both tissues and several that are significantly enriched in the larval and adult brain. Some of these belong to miRNA families with conserved members in mammals. These datasets should provide a good starting point for others interested in characterizing miRNAs with putative functions in Drosophila neurons. The datasets presented here represent the miRNA transcriptome of the adult and larval Drosophila melanogaster CNS as determined by small RNA deep sequencing (RNA-Seq).

Project description:Shells of pearl oyster are natural biominerals with remarkable properties and can be repaired after damage, which are regulated by biomacromolcules especially shell matrix proteins (SMPs). Identifying SMPs is critical for further understanding the process. Although proteomic methods have been used to reveal the complex protein mixture in mature shells, the proteomics of repaired shells after shell damage have not been reported before. Here, we studied the SMPs of the repaired shells (prismatic layers) 5-10 days after shell damage in Pinctada fucata by integrating transcriptomics and proteomics and compared the microstructure difference between repaired and mature shells. Although the repaired shells are calcite, similar to mature shells, the microstructure of repaired shells has holes in the center of prisms with irregular and curved edges. In total, we found 49 SMPs from the repaired shells including some proteins only existing in mature nacreous layers. Peroxidase-like protein and beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase may be important players in repaired shells. In addition, they have the capability to affect CaCO3 crystallization process in vitro, altering the packing and reducing the crystallinity of crystals. This study could improve our understanding of shell repair process and lay the foundation for studying SMPs-controlled biomineralization.

Project description:The development of protein anti-degradation strategy is important for their storage at ambient conditions. Despite that it is known that biominerals, typical inorganic-organic composites, can preserve proteins at room temperature for a long time, it is unclear the extent of protein degradation under high temperatures. In this study, we examined protein remaining in the toasted abalone shell under high temperatures (200 and 300 °C) by biomineral proteomics method. Surprisingly, 24 proteins including carbonic anhydrase, hemocyanin, actin can still be identified from shells even after toasting under 300°C, not much decreased compared to that in the 200°C-treated and the native shell. However, the microstructure and composition (both mineral and organic matrix) of shells were altered significantly revealed by scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The well-preserved of proteins may be partially due to the sacrifice of mineral/organic interfaces and the formation of nanopores in the shell at high temperatures. Moreover, the extracted proteins from both groups were able to affect calcium carbonate in vitro. This study has potential implications in various fields such as protein storage at high temperatures and palaeoproteomics.

Project description:The shellfish aquaculture industry provides a sustainable food source and jobs for a growing population. Oysters are the primary aquaculture species produced in the United States and account for a significant portion of seafood exports. Shellfish hatcheries have been experiencing frequent mass mortality events over the last couple of decades that occur approximately 10-14 days after oyster settlement. Settlement is a process that shellfish such as oysters undergo in which they transform from a free-swimming pelagic larvae to a sessile juvenile oyster. In order for this energy-intensive process to be successful, the oyster has to undergo behavioral and morphological changes. This is a vulnerable period in the oyster life cycle and conditions need to be such that they aren’t creating added stress. However, due to the oysters’ vulnerability, this is often a time when bacterial infections can occur, which when occurring with environmental conditions that are unfavorable, can prove to be fatal. In order to help oysters survive this process, scientists at the Taylor Shellfish Hatchery in Quilcene, WA has experimented with altering abiotic and biotic factors such as algal diet densities, pH, water flow rate, among others. At this hatchery, Pacific oysters are typically reared at 23˚C, however preliminary research results have suggested that oysters may have a higher survival rate when held at 29˚C during the settlement period. This pilot experiment attempts to identify differences in protein expression between oyster seed held at 23˚C and 29˚C during the settlement period using novel proteomic technology. Our proteomic results, paired with survival data, suggest that holding oyster seed at 29˚C during the settlement period results in higher survival rates.

Project description:Plasmodium falciparum is the etiological agent of human malaria, one of the most widespread diseases in tropical and subtropical world regions. One of the biggest problems in controlling the disease is the emergence of drug resistance, which leads to the need to discover new antimalarial compounds. One of the most promissory drugs purposed is fosmidomycin, an inhibitor of the biosynthesis of isoprene units by the methylerythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway which in some cases failed in clinic studies. Once formed, isoprene units are condensed to form longer structures such as farnesyl and geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP), which are necessary for heme O and A formation, ubiquinone, and dolichyl phosphate biosynthesis as well as for protein isoprenylation. Even though the natural substrates of polyprenyl transferases and syntheses are polyprenyl pyrophosphates, it was already demonstrated that isoprenoid alcohols (polyprenols) such as farnesol (FOH) and geranylgeraniol (GGOH) can rescue parasites from fosmidomycin. This study better investigated how this rescue phenomenon occurs by performing drug-rescue assays. By this, it was observed that phytol (POH), a 20-carbon plant isoprenoid, rescues parasites from the fosmidomycin effect, similarly to FOH or GGOH. Contrarily, neither dolichols nor nonaprenol rescue parasites from fosmidomycin. Considering this, here we characterized the transport of FOH, GGOH, and POH. Once incorporated, it was observed that these substances are phosphorylated, condensed into longer isoprenoid alcohols, and incorporated into proteins and dolichyl phosphates. Through proteomic and radiolabelling approaches, it was found that prenylated proteins are naturally attached to several isoprenoids including GGOH, dolichol, and POH if exogenously added. Furthermore, results suggest the presence of at least two promiscuous protein prenyltransferases in the parasite: one enzyme which can use FPP among other unidentified substrates and another enzyme that can use GGOH, POH, and dolichols among other substrates not identified here. Thus, was obtained further evidence for dolichols and other isoprenoid products attached to proteins. This study helps better understand apicoplast-targeting antimalarials mechanism of action as well as novel posttranslational modifications of proteins.

Project description:L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (levodopa) treatment is the major pharmacotherapy for Parkinson's disease. However, almost all patients receiving levodopa eventually develop debilitating involuntary movements (dyskinesia). While it is known that striatal spiny projection neurons (SPNs) are involved in the genesis of this movement disorder, the molecular basis of dyskinesia is not understood. In this study, we identify distinct cell-type-specific gene expression changes that occur in sub-classes of SPNs upon induction of a parkinsonian lesion followed by chronic levodopa treatment. We identify several hundred genes whose expression is correlated with levodopa dose, many of which are under the control of AP-1 and ERK signaling. In spite of homeostatic adaptations involving several signaling modulators, AP-1-dependent gene expression remains highly dysregulated in direct pathway SPNs (dSPNs) upon chronic levodopa treatment. We also discuss which molecular pathways are most likely to dampen abnormal dopaminoceptive signaling in spiny projection neurons, hence providing potential targets for antidyskinetic treatments in Parkinson's disease. To profile the cell-type-specific responses of striatal spiny projection neurons (SPNs) to striatal dopamine depletion, we conducted TRAP analysis of the two major classes of these neurons: dSPNs that express the dopamine receptor 1a (Drd1a), and iSPNs that express the dopamine receptor 2 (Drd2). To disrupt dopamine innervation to both of these SPN populations that reside in the striatum, we injected the neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA), unilaterally, in the medial forebrain bundle (MFB) in hemizygous Drd1-TRAP and Drd2-TRAP adult (9-14 weeks) male mice (kept on a C57BL/6J genetic background). This lesion procedure causes nigral dopamine cell death within a few days, along with a widespread and near-complete loss of dopaminergic innervation to the entire dorsal striatum on one side of the brain (a hemiparkinsonian model). We first examined the effects of dopamine depletion alone, compared to a mock lesion (ascorbate / saline injected). We then examined the effects of chronic levodopa treatment upon the molecular profiles of dopamine- depleted dSPNs and iSPNs, with two dose regimens. The ‘high-dose’ L-DOPA regimen (3 mg/kg on days 1-3, followed by 6 mg/kg on days 4-9) was expected to induce severe dyskinesia in all MFB-lesioned mice. The low-dose L-DOPA regimen (1 mg/kg on days 1-3, followed by 2 mg/kg on days 4-9) was expected to reverse limb use asymmetry without causing conspicuous dyskinesias. To equalize the effects of stress and handling across all groups, including control groups, all mice were equally handled and thus received saline injections when not receiving levodopa injections. Each treatment group contained 7-10 replicates. TRAP-purified mRNAs from either Drd1a- or Drd2-expressing SPNs were reverse-transcribed, amplified, and used to interrogate Affymetrix 430_2.0 GeneChip microarrays.
