Transforming growth factor-ß1 (TGF-ß1, Uniprot: P01137) is a heparin-binding protein that has been implicated in a number of physiological processes, including the initiation of chondrogenesis by human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). Here, we identify the molecular features in the protein and in h...
...ere run 1.5 cm into a Bis-Tris 10% (w/v) acrylamide gel and stained with Coomassie quick reagent for 30 min. The entire gel bands were removed and subjected to in-gel reduction with 10 mM dithiothreitol, alkylation with 50 mM iodoacetamide and digestion with 12.5 μg/mL trypsin (Pierce) for >16 h at 3...
Early identification of a compound’s mode of action can greatly benefit the discovery process. Thermal proteomics profiling (TPP) is a powerful, unbiased tool that can be used to identify potential ligands of protein targets. TPP takes advantage of the fact that a ligand binding to its target prot...
Oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) are expanding due to increased sea surface temperatures, subsequent increased oxygen demand through respiration, reduced oxygen solubility, and thermal stratification driven in part by anthropogenic climate change. Devil's Hole, Bermuda is a model ecosystem to study OMZ m...
Myc is an oncogenic transcription factor frequently dysregulated in human cancer. To identify pathways supporting the Myc oncogenic program, we employed a genome-wide RNAi screen for Myc-synthetic-lethal (MySL) genes and uncovered a role for the SUMO-activating-enzyme (SAE1/2). Loss of SAE1/2 enzyma...
We used massively parallel sequencing technology to sequence the genomic DNA of tumor cells (leukemic bone marrow) and normal cells (skin biopsy) obtained from patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Patients had either de novo AML (AML with no prior diagnosis of a hematologic disease or expo...
...DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma (FL)) and medulloblastoma (MB), with additional cancers to be characterized in the future. All data from these projects will be released into publicly accessible databases, with a majority of data in an open-access tier. A subset of data will be available only th...
This study includes samples from two projects: Collaborative Genetic Study of Nicotine Dependence (COGEND; PI: Laura Bierut) and University of Wisconsin Transdisciplinary Tobacco Use Research Center (UW-TTURC; PI: Timothy Baker).
Data are available for an additional 1420 COGEND subjects thr...
