CD32A Immunoprecipitation in K562 Cell Membrane and Cytoplasm Fractions
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Here we interrogate CD32A protein interactions in the cytoplasm and membrane fractions isolated from the human AML cell lines K562 wild-type and knockout for CD32A. Cells were fractionated prior to incubation with CD32A antibody and subsequent samples isolated using protein agarose beads.
Project description:Mutations in the RNA splicing factor gene SF3B1 are common across hematologic and solid cancers and result in widespread alterations in splicing, but therapeutic means to correct this mis-splicing do not exist. Here, we utilize synthetic introns uniquely responsive to mutant SF3B1 to identify trans factors required for aberrant mutant SF3B1 splicing activity. This revealed the G-patch domain-containing protein GPATCH8 as required for mutant SF3B1-induced splicing alterations and impaired hematopoiesis. GPATCH8 is involved in quality control of branchpoint selection, interacts with the RNA helicase DHX15, and functionally opposes SUGP1, a G-patch protein recently implicated in SF3B1-mutant diseases. Silencing of GPATCH8 corrected one-third of mutant SF3B1-dependent splicing defects and was sufficient to improve dysfunctional hematopoiesis in SF3B1-mutant mouse and primary human progenitors. These data identify GPATCH8 as a novel splicing factor required for mis-splicing by mutant SF3B1 and highlight the therapeutic impact of correcting aberrant splicing in SF3B1-mutant cancers.
Project description:In flowers of Asteraceae, yellow flavonols bearing an additional hydroxyl group at positions 6 or 8 (ring A) contribute to petal UV-absorbing pigmentation patterns, which play a crucial role in attracting pollinating insects. Understanding the biogenesis of these special flavonols requires the identification of any specific enzyme involved in these incorporations of extra hydroxyl groups on the quercetin ring A. To this aim, flavonol-bearing biotinylated probes have been designed and synthesized to explore their ability to selectively capture target proteins or biosynthetic enzymes under oxidative activation. These probes demonstrate the ability to capture several flavonoid enzymes from Rudbeckia and Tagetes microsomes and allow the identification of uncharacterized candidates for novel flavonoid enzymes.

Project description:The fission yeast PHO regulon genes pho1, pho84, and tgp1 – encoding a cell surface-associated acid phosphatase (Pho1), a plasma membrane inorganic phosphate transporter (Pho84), and a plasma membrane glycerophosphocholine transporter (Tgp1) – are strongly upregulated in response to acute phosphate starvation, as are the SPBPB2B2.06c and SPAC1039.02 genes that encode putative 5'-nucleotidase paralogs of the binuclear metallophosphoesterase enzyme superfamily. Via proteomic analysis of the medium harvested from phosphate-replete and phosphate-starved fission yeast, we define a starvation secretome that includes SPBPB2B2.06c (renamed Efn1, for extracellular five-prime nucleotidase), SPAC1039.02 (henceforth Efn2), and Pho1 among the most abundant exported proteins elaborated by phosphate-starved cells. We demonstrate and characterize a 5'-nucleotidase activity secreted into the medium of phosphate-starved efn1+ efn2+ cells, which is eliminated by simultaneous deletion of efn1 and efn2. By singly deleting efn1 and efn2, we find that Efn1 contributes the greater share of secreted 5'-nucleotidase activity. Efn1 and Efn2 catalyze the release of inorganic phosphate from all four standard ribonucleoside monophosphates, in order of preference: CMP > UMP >AMP > GMP. Whereas efn1+ efn2+ cells can use extracellular CMP as a source of phosphate during phosphate starvation, efn1∆ efn2∆ cells cannot. The secretion of 5'-nucleotidase enzymes during phosphate limitation is a newly appreciated facet of fission yeast phosphate homeostasis.
Project description:Neurotoxicity of formaldehyde (FA) in the human health attracted intensive studies Long-term exposure to FA leads to learning and memory decline and is responsible for the multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) or sick building syndrome (SBS). It was cleared that Formaldehyde impairs Learning and Memory in Hippocampal. however ,it is unclear if FA can disturb the olfactory bulb function miRNAs alterations were related to environmental chemical exposure. It was reported that FA inhale altered miRNAs expression in the nasal Epithelium and lung cells. In the present study, FA inhalation significatly alters miRNA expression profiles within olfactory bulb Eight week ICR male mouse. Mice were randomly assigned to three groups. The FA group exposed to 3ppm FA for six hours for consecutive 1 and 7days in a chamber which was described previously. The standard group was kept in same condition except the FA. After expose, both group mice were deeply anesthetized with isoflurane and decapitated. The OB was rapidly dissected
