Project description:Investigation of whole genome expression pattern of 60 and 72 hours post fertilization Danio Rerio embryos exposed to TMT and vehicle control Embryos were exposed to 10uM TMT or control from 48hpf to 60 or 72 hpf. Three replicates were collected for each time point. 40 embryos were pooled to comprise a replicate.
Project description:Maintenance of NAD+ levels by mitochondrial complex I, the NAD+ salvage pathway, and other routes is an important factor in of neurodegenerative disease and cancer. Both the production of NAD+ and the metabolic enzymes that require it as a redox cofactor or substrate differ widely in abundance across cell types and conditions. Disruption in the NAD+ supply thus exerts different effects depending on the cellular NAD+ requirements existing in the cell. Pharmacological depletion of NAD+ is actively being pursued in cancer and other diseases but these effects are not fully understood. Here, we combine quantitative proteomics and metabolomics to understand the consequences of disrupting cellular NAD+ levels and find that inhibiting the NAD+ salvage pathway depletes serine biosynthesis from glucose by impeding the NAD+-dependent protein 3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH). Importantly, breast cancers that depend on PHGDH are exquisitely sensitive to blocking the NAD+ salvage pathway. PHGDH, and the rate-limiting enzyme of NAD+ salvage are also correlated in public tumor proteome and transcript datasets. These findings are immediately translatable to the pharmacological inhibition of NAMPT in PHGDH-dependent cancers.

Project description:We performed ChIP-seq analyses of Rad2, Mediator (Med17 and Med5) and RNA Polymerase II in Kin28-ts16 mutant, Med17-Q444P and Med17-Q444P/M442L mutants and in an Rpb9 deleted strain.
Project description:We present a computational method for building a regulatory network from global phosphoproteomic and transcription profiling data. To recover the critical missing links between signaling events and transcriptional responses, we relate changes in chromatin accessibility to changes in expression and then uses these links to connect proteomic and transcriptome data. We applied our approach to integrate epigenomic, phosphoproteomic and transcriptome changes induced by the variant III mutation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFRvIII) in a cell line model of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Genome-wide DNase I hypersensitivity followed by sequencing (DNase-Seq) to measure chromatin accessibility in a cell line derived from the U87MG glioblastoma cell line to express high level of EGFRvIII (U87H; 2 million copies of EGFRvIII per cell) and a control cell line expressing kinase dead EGFRvIII (U87DK; 2 million kinase dead EGFRvIII per cell). A prediction from the computational method, the transcriptional co-regulator p300, was experimentally validated by chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-Seq).
Project description:InvF ChIP-chip on Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium SL1344 using anti-Myc antibody against strain with chromosomally 9Myc-tagged InvF (IP samples) and wildtype strain (mock IP samples) Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium causes a range of diseases from self-limiting gastroenteritis to life-threatening systemic infections. Its complex infection process is initiated by the invasion of the intestinal epithelial monolayer by means of a type three secretion system. InvF is one of the key regulators governing the invasion of epithelial cells. By mapping the InvF regulon, i.e. locating its direct target genes, the gene network underlying invasion can be further examined, including identifying possible new effector-encoding genes. In order to map the InvF regulon, we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation combined with tiling microarray analysis (ChIP-chip) and compared expression of the identified target genes in an invF mutant and a wildtype strain. In addition, the promoter regions of these target genes were searched for the presence of an InvF recognition site. Finally, a query-driven biclustering method, combined with a microarray compendium containing publically available S. Typhimurium gene expression data, was applied as an in silico validation technique for functional relatedness between newly identified target genes and known invasion genes. As expected, under invasion inducing conditions, InvF activates the expression of invasion chaperone encoding sicA and the effector-encoding genes sopB, sopE, sopE2 and sopA by binding their promoter region. Newly identified InvF targets are steB, encoding a secreted effector, and STM1239. The presence of an InvF recognition site in the promoter regions of these target genes further supports this observation. In addition, the query-driven biclustering method revealed similarities in expression profiles between STM1239 and known InvF regulated invasion genes over a range of experimental conditions. In conclusion, we here deliver the first evidence for direct binding of InvF to the promoter regions of sopA and sopE2, and associate genes encoding a secreted effector (steB) and a putative novel effector (STM1239) with the Salmonella invasion regulator InvF. Three IP samples (from three biological replicates using anti-Myc antibody against Salmonella Typhimurium SL1344 strain encoding chromosomally 9Myc-tagged InvF) and three control mock IP samples (from three biological replicates using anti-Myc antibody against Salmonella Typhimurium SL1344 wildtype strain) were labeled with Cy5 and hybridized against a common genomic DNA reference, labeled with Cy3, on 6 S.

Project description:Reinvestigation of the chromatin immunoprecipitation procedure led us to discover four causes of high background: non-unique sequences, incomplete reversion of crosslinks, washing with spin-columns and insufficient RNase treatment. We used a publishd method giving a high background signal and a modified chromatin immunoprecipitation method which could greatly reduce the false positive rate and apply it to analyze genome wide binding of SeqA and σ32 binding in E. coli. RNA polymerase binding in wt E. coli MG1655 with old method (two biological relpicates); comparison of SeqA-binding to wt with old and modified method (two biological replicates each); comparison of SeqA-binding with old and modified method to E. coli ΔseqA (one array each); comparison of crosslinked/reversed to non crosslinked E. coli chrom. DNA; σ32 binding at 30°C and 43°C (two biological replicates each); σ32 binding at 30°C and 43°C with shortened RNase digestion during ChIP (one array each).
Project description:Transcription factors play diverse roles during embryonic development, combinatorially controlling multiple cellular states in a spatially and temporally defined manner. Resolving the dynamic transcriptional profiles that underlie these patterning processes is essential for understanding embryogenesis at the molecular level. Here we show how temporal, tissue-specific changes in embryonic transcription factor function can be discerned by integrating caged morpholinos (cMOs) with photoactivatable fluorophores, fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), and microarray technologies. As a proof of principle, we have dynamically profiled No tail-a (Ntla)-dependent genes at different stages of axial mesoderm development in zebrafish, discovering and characterizing discrete sets of transcripts that are coincident with either notochord cell fate commitment or differentiation. Our studies demonstrate how optically controlled chemical tools can be use to probe developmental processes with spatiotemporal precision and reveal the sequential activation of distinct transcriptomes within a cell lineage by a single transcriptional factor. Zebrafish zygotes were injected with a mixture of ntla caged morpholino (cMO) and caged fluorescein dextran (cFD), and a 100 µm-diameter region of the shield was UV-irradiated at 6 hours post fertilization (hpf). The UV irradiation generated an active morpholino targeting the ntla 5'UTR and simultaneously labeled the cells with green fluorescence. By 36 hpf, the irradiated, green-fluorescent cells contributed to the medial floor plate rather than the notochord, consistent with earlier proposals that Ntla acts as a transcriptional switch between these two cell fates. Combining these caged reagents with microarray analysis identified transcriptional changes coincident with loss of ntla at 9 hpf and subsequent notochord fate respecification. Zebrafish zygotes were injected with a mixture of ntla cMO/cFD, and a 100 µm-diameter region of the shield was UV-irradiated at 6 hpf. Control embryos were injected with cFD and similarly irradiated at 6 hpf. Experimental and control sets of embryos were enzymatically dissociated at 9 hpf, green-fluorescent cells were isolated by FACS, and collected in trizol. Thirty embryos were used for each experiment or controls, each yielding approximately 8,000 green fluorescent cells. Five biological replicates were performed along with five paired controls. Total RNA was isolated from each sample, reverse transcribed, and amplified using WTA2 TransPlex Complete Whole Transcriptome Amplification kit (Sigma) using a miniaturized procedure and manufacturer-recommended incubation steps. The synthesized cDNA was sent to Nimblegen for dye labeling and hybridization. Samples were hybridized to the Nimblegen 2007 (Zv 7) Danio rerio Gene Expression Array chip using one dye per chip. Raw probe data (.pair file) was subjected to RMA, normalization, background correction, and generation of gene expression summary (.calls file) by Nimblegen. Processed data was analyzed in ArrayStar software (DNAStar). Significantly affected genes (fold change > 2 and p-value < 0.10) were identified using a moderated t-test.
