Project description:Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are vital in determining the specificity of translation. Mutations in tRNAs can result in the mis-incorporation of amino acids into nascent polypeptides in a process known as mistranslation. Here, our goal was to test the impacts of different types of mistranslation in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster, as impact of mistranslation depends on the type of amino acid substitution. We created two fly lines - one expressing a serine tRNA variant with valine anticodon and the other with a serine tRNA variant with a threonine anticodon. Using mass spectrometry, we measure the amount of mistranslation at various points in fly development.

Project description:To understand potential downstream signaling molecules that are responsible for wild type-Malt1 induced resistance of tumor cell to CD8 T cell killing , we first use E0771 cells expressing either -Vector control, wild type-Malt1 (M-WT), or Malt1 PD mutant (M-PD) to coculture with activated CD8 T cell at a effctor: target ratio(E:T ration) of 3 for 12 hours. Then wash the cells with PBS, digest the cells by 0.25% trypsin solution, harvest the cells in 15 ml tubes by centrifugation (1000 rpm 5min) and seed cells into the original plate with DMEM+10%FBS+1%P/S medium. 6 hours after sseding, wash cells with PBS, lyse cells with TRIZOL for RNA extraction, perform reverse transcription and cDNA library for RNA-Seq analysis.
Project description:MicroRNAs detected in Drosophila melanogaster unfertilized eggs Bloomington w[1118] flies were kept at 25ºC on cornmeal based media, with 12 hours light/dark cycles. Virgin females were sorted at the pupae stage to avoid any unwanted fertilization. In a population cage I let 80-100 females to lay eggs in apple juice agar plates for 8 hours, collecting 1 hour after dawn. Eggs were collected with a sieve and washed with saline solution. Small RNA was size selected and sequenced.
Project description:In this study we use a combination of proteomics Label-Free quantification methods to monitor protein expression changes over a time course of more than 20 hours of embryo development in Drosophila melanogaster.
