Project description:Gc, a Mountain pine beetle associated pathogen, can survive from highly abundant pine chemicals ( e.g terpenes) and use some unflavored compound’s as carbon source. using RNA_Seq, we analyzed the transcriptome of Gc when it grew on limonene, mannose oliver-oil, oleic acid as carbon source, as well as when it survived from high concentration of limonene or heptane. We profiled the expression of some interesting genes ( ABC transporters, P450s) potentially involved in the tree-pathogen interaction. An ABC-G group transporter gene (GcABC-G1) was one of the most highly induced genes and characterized as a mono-terpene specific efflux transporter with genetic and molecular tools. RNA- seq also indicated Gc utilize limonene and oleic acid through the same beta-oxidation pathway. However the degradation of limonene is more complex and multiple pathways contributed to the survival/utilization.

Project description:Glycosylation is an abundant post-translational modification of both intracellular and extracellular proteins [1]. The majority of glycans are classified as N-linked chains, where the carbohydrate moiety is attached to asparagine residues, or O-linked chains, most commonly linked to a serine or threonine. N-linked glycosylation is initiated by the oligosaccharyltransferase complex with only two paralogs of the catalytic subunit, whereas O-glycan initiation is more complex. There are several types of O-linked glycosylation, but among the most diverse is the mucin or GalNAc type (hereafter referred to as O-glycosylation). O-glycosylation is initiated by 20 evolutionarily conserved polypeptide GalNAc-transferases (GalNAc-Ts), which catalyze the first step in the O-glycosylation of proteins by adding GalNAc residues to threonine, serine, and tyrosine amino acids (Fig 1A). Each of the GalNAc-Ts are differentially expressed in various tissues and have both distinct and overlapping peptide substrate specificities [2-12]. Thus, the repertoire of GalNAc-Ts expressed in a given cell determines the subset and O-glycosite pattern of glycosylated proteins [13]. Substantial efforts have been made to characterize and predict the substrate specificities of GalNAc-Ts in vitro, but understanding of the in vivo specificities of the individual GalNAc-Ts or their biological functions is limited [13-15]. This lack of insight prevents an understanding of how site-specific O-linked glycosylation affects diseases, such as metabolic disorders, cardiovascular disease, and various malignancies, that have been associated with GalNAc-Ts through genome-wide association studies and other linkage studies [16-26]. Therefore, it is imperative that we establish how O-glycosylation at specific sites in proteins affects protein function. A major task in achieving this goal is to identify the non-redundant biological functions of site-specific O-glycosylation. We and others recently developed new strategies for identifying specific sites on proteins that undergo O-glycosylation in different cell types and tissues [27-31]. Characterization of the O-glycoproteomic landscape in isolated human cells and multiple human cell lines suggests that more than 80 % of all proteins that traffic through the secretory pathway are O-glycoproteins [28, 30]. Probing the non-redundant contributions of individual GalNAc-Ts in cells with and without specific GalNAc-Ts [32-34] has revealed broad substrate specificities for some of the individual isoforms, whereas others seem to have very restricted substrate specificities [33-35]. Assessing all of the mapped O-glycosylation sites to identify associations between O-glycosites and protein annotations, we recently found that O-glycans are over-represented close to tandem repeat regions, protease cleavage sites, within propeptides, and on a select group of protein domains [28, 30, 36]. Although such general associations between the location of O-glycans and protein functions may direct future investigations, the strategy does not define the function of site-specific glycosylation. Further progress in discovering and defining novel functions of site-specific glycosylation events requires direct quantitative analysis of potential biological responses induced by the loss of distinct GalNAc-T isoforms, and such biological responses are not easily observed in single cell culture systems. Instead, more complex model systems can be used to examine and dissect the molecular mechanisms underlying the important biological functions of site-specific glycosylation. We previously used an organotypic tissue model equipped with genetically engineered cells to decipher the function of elongated O-glycans [29]. In the present study, we use the model combined with quantitative O-glycoproteomics and phosphoproteomics to perform open-ended discovery of the biological functions of site-specific glycosylation governed by GalNAc-Ts (Fig 1B). With this combinatorial strategy, we demonstrate that loss of individual GalNAc-T isoforms has distinct phenotypic consequences through their effect on distinct biological pathways, suggesting specific roles during epithelial formation.

Project description:Collectively classified as white-rot fungi, certain basidiomycetes efficiently degrade the major structural polymers of wood cell walls. A small subset of these Agaricomycetes, exemplified by Phlebiopsis gigantea, is capable of colonizing freshly exposed conifer sapwood despite its high pitch content, which retards the establishment of other fungal species. The mechanism(s) by which P. gigantea tolerates and metabolizes resinous compounds have not been explored. Here, we report the annotated P. gigantea genome and compare profiles of its transcriptome and secretome when cultured on fresh-cut versus solvent-extracted loblolly pine. The P. gigantea genome contains a conventional repertoire of hydrolase genes involved in cellulose/hemicellulose degradation, whose patterns of expression were relatively unperturbed by the absence of extractives. The expression of genes typically ascribed to lignin degradation was also largely unaffected. In contrast, genes likely involved in the transformation and detoxification of pitch were highly induced in its presence. Their products included an ABC transporter, lipases, cytochrome P450s, glutathione S-transferase and aldehyde dehydrogenase. Other regulated genes of unknown function and several constitutively expressed genes are also likely involved in P. gigantea’s pitch metabolism. These results contribute to our fundamental understanding of conifer colonization and carbon cycling processes. Phlebiopsis gigantea was cultivated in media containing one of three carbon sources: freshly harvested loblolly pine (3 replicates), acetone extracted lobollly pine (3 replicates), or glucose (2 replicates). RNA was extracted and processed for Illumina sequencing as described below.

Project description:ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters can translocate a broad spectrum of molecules across the cell membrane including physiological cargo and toxins. ABC transporters are known for the role they play in resistance towards anticancer agents in chemotherapy of cancer patients. There are 68 ABC transporters annotated in the genome of the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum. We have characterized more than half of these ABC transporters through a systematic study of mutations in their genes. We have analyzed morphological and transcriptional phenotypes for these mutants during growth and development and found that most of the mutants exhibited rather subtle phenotypes. A few of the genes may share physiological functions, as reflected in their transcriptional phenotypes. Since most of the abc-transporter mutants showed subtle morphological phenotypes, we utilized these transcriptional phenotypes to identify genes that are important for development by looking for transcripts whose abundance was unperturbed in most of the mutants. We found a set of 668 genes that includes many validated D. discoideum developmental genes. We have also found that abcG6 and abcG18 may have potential roles in intercellular signaling during terminal differentiation of spores and stalks.

Project description:We used gel electrophoresis coupled with LC-MS based proteomics to identify key transport proteins in the plasma membrane (PM) and tonoplast fractions of Avicennia officinalis leaves. This was part of our attempts to understand salt tolerance and secretion in mangrove plant species. PM and tonoplast proteins were purified using two-aqueous phase partitioning and density gradient centrifugation, respectively. Thirty of the 154 PM proteins and 31 of the 118 tonoplast proteins identified were predicted to have transmembrane domains. About 90% of the identified proteins could be classified based on their functions. The major classes of proteins were predicted to be involved in transport, metabolic processes, signal transduction and defense /stress response, while a few of the proteins were predicted to be involved in membrane trafficking. The main classes of transporter proteins identified included H+-ATPases, ATP-binding cassette transporters (ABC) and aquaporins, all of which could play a role in salt secretion. These data will serve as the baseline membrane proteomic dataset for Avicennia species. Further, this information can contribute to future studies on understanding the mechanism of salt tolerance in halophytes in addition to salt secretion in mangroves.

Project description:The ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporter family is widely distributed in vertebrates and is essential for drug resistance, cell signaling and energy homeostasis. There is growing evidence that various ABC transporters contribute to the growth and development of tumors but relatively little is known about how the ABC transporter family behaves in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). ABCC6 transporter was downregulated in HCC tissues and that it was associated with successful treatment for HCC patients. Cellular model studies have shown that ABCC6 plays a role in the migration and cytoskeleton rearrangement of HepG2 hepatocarcinoma cells, highlighting its role in cancer biology. Abcc6-silenced HepG2 cells are used as cell model to obtain more deep information about the molecular mechanisms underlying the observed results. MTT and colony formation assays, showed the effects of Abcc6 on HepG2 cell proliferation. Western blotting analysis, real-time PCR, and immunofluorescence were used to find the E-cadherin, Vimentin, and N-cadherin markers associated with the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Colony formation experiments in the current study showed that Abcc6 decreased HepG2 cell viability. The migratory and invasion activities were dramatically slowed down by Abcc6 silencing, according to the Transwell and wound-healing assays. In tumor cells, EMT has been shown to be crucial for enhancing migration and invasion and is frequently characterized by a loss of epithelial markers (E-cadherin) and an increase in mesenchymal markers (Vimentin and N-cadherin). In the western blotting examination, E-cadherin expression was considerably elevated compared to the control group, while N-cadherin and Vimentin expression were downregulated. This led to the hypothesis that the underlying mechanism of Abcc6 knockdown prevents migration and invasion in HepG2 cells and is linked to the suppression of EMT. In conclusion all evidence suggested that ABC transporters play a more active role in cancer biology.

Project description:Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34 is a well-studied metal-resistant β-proteobacterium and contains a battery of genes involved in the resistance and processing of numerous metals. Here, we performed a directed evolution experiment to obtain derivatives adapted to grow in the presence of zinc at concentrations above the minimal inhibitory concentration for the parental strain. Genetic characterization of one derivative, CH34ZnR, which was also more resistant to cadmium, revealed seven mutations, including inactivation of glpR coding for a DeoR-type transcriptional repressor by insertion of IS1088. The latter resulted in the constitutive expression of the neighboring ABC-type transporter. GlpR and the adjacent ABC transporter are highly similar to the glycerol operon regulator and ATP-driven glycerol importer of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae VF39, respectively. Deletion of glpR or the ABC transporter and complementation of CH34ZnR with the parental glpR gene further demonstrated that loss of GlpR function, with concomitant induction of the adjacent ABC transporter, is pivotal in the observed phenotype. Moreover, addition of glycerol, presumably by glycerol-mediated reduced GlpR activity, also promoted increased zinc and cadmium resistance. Thus, the ABC-type transporter is proposed to be a new adaptation route during exposure to toxic zinc concentrations.

Project description:The EZH2 histone methyltransferase is highly expressed in germinal center (GC) B-cells and targeted by somatic mutations in B-cell lymphomas. Here we find that EZH2 deletion or pharmacologic inhibition suppresses GC formation and functions in mice. EZH2 represses proliferation checkpoint genes and helps establish bivalent chromatin domains at key regulatory loci to transiently suppress GC B-cell differentiation. Somatic mutations reinforce these physiological effects through enhanced silencing of EZH2 targets in B-cells, and in human B-cell lymphomas. Conditional expression of mutant EZH2 in mice induces GC hyperplasia and accelerated lymphomagenesis in cooperation with BCL2. GCB-type DLBCLs are mostly addicted to EZH2, regardless of mutation status, but not the more differentiated ABC-type DLBCLs, thus clarifying the therapeutic scope of EZH2 targeting.
