ABSTRACT: This study involves the role of yeast mRNA decay factors in transcription. The experiment included here are the ChIP-exo results of three decay factors: Xrn1, Dcp2 & Lsm1. Four experiments were made: Xrn1, Dcp2, Lsm1 and control (no-TAP tag), in two replicates.
Project description:We determined DNA-binding sites of the yeast transcription factor Yfl052w by ChIP-exo. Cells were grown in the YP media containing palatinose. Yfl052w was tagged with HA tag and anti-HA antibody was used for the immunoprecipitation. Examination of Yfl052 trancription factor in HA-tagged and wt cells (as a control)

Project description:Different aspects of intra-tumor heterogeneity (ITH), which are associated with development of cancer and its response to treatment, have postulated prognostic value. Here we searched for the potential association between phenotypic ITH analyzed by mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) and the prognosis of head and neck cancer. The study involved tissue specimens resected from 77 patients with locally advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma, including 37 patients where matched samples of primary tumor and synchronous lymph node metastases were analyzed. A 3-year follow-up was available for all patients that enabled their separation into two groups: with no evidence of disease (NED, n=41) and with progressive disease (PD, n=36). After the on-tissue trypsin digestion, peptide maps of all cancer regions were segmented using an unsupervised approach to reveal their intrinsic heterogeneity. We found that intra-tumor similarity of spectra was higher in the PD group and diversity of clusters identified during image segmentation was higher in the NED group, which indicated a higher level of ITH in patients with more favorable outcomes. Furthermore, signature of molecular components that correlated with long-term outcomes could be associated with proteins involved in the immune functions. Hence, we proposed that a higher level of ITH revealed by MSI in cancers with a better prognosis could reflect the presence of heterotypic components of tumor microenvironment such as infiltrating immune cells enhancing the response to the treatment. LC-MALDI-MS/MS data deposited in this repository originate from protein lysates obtained from FFPE sections consecutive to sections dedicated to MSI measurements. The hypothetical identity of the MSI components was established by assignment of a component location on the m/z scale for the measured masses of tryptic peptides identified by LC-MALDI-MS/MS allowing ±0.05% mass tolerance.
Project description:To assess the roles of the Dcp2 C-terminal domain and the decapping activators Pat1, Lsm1, and Dhh1 in mRNA decapping, we used RNA-Seq to analyze the expression profiles of yeast cells harboring a truncation of the Dcp2 C-terminal domain, mutations that render Dcp2 catalytically inactive, or deletions of the PAT1, LSM1, and DHH1 genes. Consistent with our recent model for decapping regulation, we found that: i) the Dcp2 C-terminal domain is an effector of both negative and positive regulation and that loss of these control functions causes significant deregulation of mRNA decapping; ii) rather than being global activators of decapping, Pat1, Lsm1, and Dhh1 directly target specific subsets of yeast mRNAs and loss of the functions of each of these factors has substantial indirect consequences for genome-wide mRNA expression; and iii) transcripts targeted by Pat1, Lsm1, and Dhh1 exhibit only partial overlap and, as expected, are targeted to decapping-dependent decay.
Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterised by an abundant desmoplastic reaction which includes an excess production of extracellular matrix and interacts with integrin adhesion receptors. Integrin adhesion complexes formed by HPDE cells (H6c7), with and without expression of mutant KRas G12V, were isolated and analysed by LC-MSMS

Project description:We analyzed mRNA expression profiles in Drosophila melanogaster S2 cells that had been depleted of proteins known as mRNA decapping co-activators. mRNA decapping is catalyzed by DCP2, and DCP2 activity is stimulated by decapping co-activators. This group of proteins includes DCP1, Hedls (also known as Ge-1), LSm16 (also known as EDC3), rck/p54 (also known as DHH1 or Me31B), Pat1, and the heptameric LSm1-7 complex. We used the RNA interference technology to deplete cultured S2 cells of DCP1 (CG11183), Ge-1 (CG6181), Pat1 (CG5208), LSm16 (CG6311), and LSm1 (CG4279). We used Affymetrix oligonucleotide microarrays to analyze two independent samples for each depletion. We included the following controls: mock RNAi treatment and GFP dsRNA treatment (two profiles each). We also profiled AGO1 (CG6671) depleted cells (3 independent samples). AGO1 is a key protein required for miRNA-mediated gene silencing. We had shown previously that silencing by miRNAs involves decapping of target mRNAs.
Project description:Removal of mRNA 5’ caps primes transcripts for degradation and is central for regulating gene expression in eukaryotes. The canonical decapping enzyme DCP2 is stringently controlled by assembly into a dynamic multi-protein complex together with the 5´-3´exoribonuclease Xrn1. Kinetoplastida lack DCP2 orthologues but instead rely on the ApaH-like phosphatase ALPH1 for decapping. The enzyme is composed of a catalytic domain flanked by C-terminal and N-terminal extensions. Here we analyse the ALPH1 interactome by BioID proximity labelling for the full length protein and truncated versions in order to assign domain specific interactions. We show that Trypanosoma brucei ALPH1 acts in a complex composed of the trypanosome XRN1 ortholog XRNA and four proteins that are unique to Kinetoplastida.The interactome is validated by reverse experiments targeting T. brucei and T. cruzi XRNA by affinity capture and, additionally, the ALPH1 interacting CMGC-family kinase by BioID.
