Project description:mRNA expression was assayed from T47D SCR and T47D EGLN2 conditional knock down cell lines in order to profile the gene expression pattern regulated by EGLN2.
Project description:In order to perform integrated analysis for EglN2 ChIP-Seq and microarray to identify EglN2 direct target genes, we performed the microarray analysis for T47D breast cancer cells with either control or EglN2 siRNA followed by hypoxia+DMOG treatment T47D cells were transfected with either control or EglN2 siRNA in duplicate with RNAi max. 36 hours following transfection, cells were treated with hypoxia (1%) and DMOG (1 mM) for 16 hours. Following treatment, total RNA was extracted using Rnaeasy kit from Qiagen.

Project description:We report the comprehensive genome-wide binding peaks for key factors inovled in oxygen sensing pathways, such as HIF1α, HIF1β and EglN2. In addition, we also report the genome-wide binding peaks for NRF1 in breast cancer cells We conducted HA-EglN2, HIF1α, HIF1β (ARNT) or NRF1 ChIP-Seq in the T47D cell line that overexpresses HA-EglN2 in the presence of hypoxia (1%) and DMOG treatment. T47D parental cells treated with the same condition followed by HA ChIP-seq served as the control to filter non-specific binding.
Project description:Gene expression profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells with hTERT/E6/E7 transfected MSCs. hTERT may change gene expression in MSCs. Goal was to determine the gene expressions of immortalized MSCs.
Project description:Kynureninase is a member of a large family of catalytically diverse but structurally homologous pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) dependent enzymes known as the aspartate aminotransferase superfamily or alpha-family. The Homo sapiens and other eukaryotic constitutive kynureninases preferentially catalyze the hydrolytic cleavage of 3-hydroxy-l-kynurenine to produce 3-hydroxyanthranilate and l-alanine, while l-kynurenine is the substrate of many prokaryotic inducible kynureninases. The human enzyme was cloned with an N-terminal hexahistidine tag, expressed, and purified from a bacterial expression system using Ni metal ion affinity chromatography. Kinetic characterization of the recombinant enzyme reveals classic Michaelis-Menten behavior, with a Km of 28.3 +/- 1.9 microM and a specific activity of 1.75 micromol min-1 mg-1 for 3-hydroxy-dl-kynurenine. Crystals of recombinant kynureninase that diffracted to 2.0 A were obtained, and the atomic structure of the PLP-bound holoenzyme was determined by molecular replacement using the Pseudomonas fluorescens kynureninase structure (PDB entry 1qz9) as the phasing model. A structural superposition with the P. fluorescens kynureninase revealed that these two structures resemble the "open" and "closed" conformations of aspartate aminotransferase. The comparison illustrates the dynamic nature of these proteins' small domains and reveals a role for Arg-434 similar to its role in other AAT alpha-family members. Docking of 3-hydroxy-l-kynurenine into the human kynureninase active site suggests that Asn-333 and His-102 are involved in substrate binding and molecular discrimination between inducible and constitutive kynureninase substrates.
