Project description:Protein-RNA interactions are integral components of nearly every aspect of biology including regulation of gene expression, assembly of cellular architectures, and pathogenesis of human diseases. However, studies in the past few decades have only uncovered a small fraction of the vast landscape of the protein-RNA interactome in any organism, and even less is known about the dynamics of protein-RNA interactions under changing developmental and environmental conditions. Here, we describe the gPAR-CLIP (global photoactivatable-ribonucleoside-enhanced crosslinking and immunopurification) approach for capturing regions of the transcriptome bound by RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) in budding yeast. We report over 13,000 RBP crosslinking sites in untranslated regions (UTR) covering 72% of protein-coding transcripts encoded in the genome, confirming 3M-bM-^@M-^Y UTRs as major sites for RBP interaction. Comparative genomic analyses reveal that RBP crosslinking sites are highly conserved, and RNA folding predictions indicate that secondary structural elements are constrained by protein binding and may serve as generalizable modes of RNA recognition. Finally, 38% of 3M-bM-^@M-^Y UTR crosslinking sites show changes in RBP occupancy upon glucose or nitrogen deprivation, with major impacts on metabolic pathways as well as mitochondrial and ribosomal gene expression. Our study offers an unprecedented view of the pervasiveness and dynamics of protein-RNA interactions in vivo. Duplicate gPAR-CLIP and mRNA-seq libraries were sequenced from yeast strains for each of three conditions: log-phase growth, growth after 2 hour glucose starvation, and growth after 2 hour nitrogen starvation. Additional duplicate mRNA-seq libraries were sequenced from yeast strains grown in the absence of 4-thiouracil. gPAR-CLIP libraries were used to determine regions of mRNA bound by proteins. mRNA-seq libraries served as controls for mRNA abundance. A Puf3p PAR-CLIP library was sequenced to determine how well gPAR-CLIP captured the binding signatures of a single RNA-binding protein.

Project description:In this study we show that global levels of mature miRNAs are unaffected in C. elegans after knockdown of either subunit of CK2 (encoded by kin-3 and kin-10) by RNAi. Small RNAs were quantified from wild-type animals at L4 stage fed either vector (L4440), kin-3, kin-10, or alg-1 RNAi. Mature miRNA counts were quantified by summing the total number of reads mapping to each miRNA and normalized to the total number of mapped reads per sequencing library.

Project description:This project aims to investigate the metabolic pathways expressed by the active microbial community occurring at the deep continental subsurface. Subsurface chemoLithoautotrophic Microbial Ecosystems (SLiMEs) under oligotrophic conditions are supported by H2; however, the overall ecological trophic structures of these communities are poorly understood. Some deep, fluid-filled fractures in the Witwatersrand Basin, South Africa appear to support inverted trophic pyramids wherein methanogens contributing <5% of the total DNA apparently produce CH4 that supports the rest of the community. Here we show the active metabolic relationships of one such trophic structure by combining metatranscriptomic assemblies, metaproteomic and stable isotopic data, and thermodynamic modeling. Four autotrophic β-proteobacteria genera that are capable of oxidizing sulfur by denitrification dominate. They co-occur with sulfate reducers, anaerobic methane oxidizers and methanogens, which each comprises <5% of the total community. Defining trophic levels of microbial chemolithoautotrophs by the number of transfers from the initial abiotic H2-driven CO2 fixation, we propose a top-down cascade influence of the metabolic consumers that enhances the fitness of the metabolic producers to explain the inverted biomass pyramid of a multitrophic SLiME. Symbiotic partnerships are pivotal in the deep biosphere on and potentially beyond the Earth.

Project description:Most species of bee are capable of delivering a defensive sting which is often painful. A solitary lifestyle is the ancestral state of bees and most extant species are solitary, but information on bee venoms comes predominantly from studies on eusocial species. In this study we investigated the venom composition of the Australian great carpenter bee, Xylocopa aruana Ritsema, 1876. We show that the venom is relatively simple, composed mainly of one small amphipathic peptide (XYTX1-Xa1a), with lesser amounts of an apamin homologue (XYTX2-Xa2a) and a venom phospholipase-A2 (PLA2). XYTX1-Xa1a is homologous to, and shares a similar mode-of-action to melittin and the bombilitins, the major components of the venoms of the eusocial Apis mellifera (Western honeybee) and Bombus spp. (bumblebee), respectively. XYTX1-Xa1a and melittin directly activate mammalian sensory neurons and cause spontaneous pain behaviours in vivo, effects which are potentiated in the presence of venom PLA2. The apamin-like peptide XYTX2-Xa2a was a relatively weak blocker of small conductance calcium-activated potassium (KCa) channels and, like A. mellifera apamin and mast cell-degranulating peptide, did not contribute to pain behaviours in mice. While the composition and mode-of-action of the venom of X. aruana are similar to that of A. mellifera, the greater potency, on mammalian sensory neurons, of the major pain-causing component in A. mellifera venom may represent an adaptation to the distinct defensive pressures on eusocial Apidae.

Project description:Protein translation is at the heart of cellular metabolism and its in-depth characterization is key for many lines of research. Recently, ribosome profiling became the state-of-the-art method to quantitatively characterize translation dynamics at a transcriptome-wide level. However, the strategy of library generation affects its outcomes. Here, we present a modified ribosomeprofiling protocol starting from yeast, human cells and vertebrate brain tissue. We use a DNA linker carrying four randomized positions at its 5â and a reverse-transcription (RT) primer with three randomized positions to reduce artifacts during library preparation. The use of seven randomized nucleotides allows to efficiently detect library-generation artifacts. We find that the effect of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) artifacts is relatively small for global analyses when sufficient input material is used. However, when input material is limiting, our strategy improves the sensitivity of gene-specific analyses. Furthermore, randomized nucleotides alleviate the skewed frequency of specific sequences at the 3â end of ribosome-protected fragments (RPFs) likely resulting from ligase specificity. Finally, strategies that rely on dual ligation show a high degree of gene-coverage variation. Taken together, our approach helps to remedy two of the main problems associated with ribosome-profiling data. This will facilitate the analysis of translational dynamics and increase our understanding of the influence of RNA modifications on translation.

Project description:It is generally assumed that mRNAs undergoing translation are protected from decay. Here, we show that mRNAs are, in fact, co-translationally degraded. This is a widespread and conserved process affecting most genes, where 5′–3′ transcript degradation follows the last translating ribosome, producing an in vivo ribosomal footprint. By sequencing the ends of 5′ phosphorylated mRNA degradation intermediates, we obtain a genome-wide drug-free measurement of ribosome dynamics. We identify general translation termination pauses in both normal and stress conditions. In addition, we describe novel codon-specific ribosomal pausing sites in response to oxidative stress that are dependent on the RNase Rny1. Our approach is simple and straightforward and does not require the use of translational inhibitors or in vitro RNA footprinting that can alter ribosome protection patterns. RNA samples were quantified according to their 5’modification. Samples were quantified using 2 alternative methods. 5PSeq (measures 5’P RNAs) and 5PSeq-fragmented (measures the sequencing bias present in any sample by randomly fragmenting RNA, re-phosphorilating the 5’ends and subjecting the sample to 5PSeq; it is used as a negative control). Different strains of S. cerevisiae and S. pombe samples were analyzed. Cells were grown both in rich media (YPD or YES) and synthetic defined media (SD). Cells were subjected to different treatments such as inhibition of translation elongation with cyclohexamide (CHX), oxidative stress (0.2 mM H2O2) or inhibition of histidine biosyntesys (3-AT; 100mM 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole). S. cerevisiae samples grown in rich media were also analyzed after CHX treatment and sucrose fractionation into monosome and polyribosome fractionation. All samples were analyzed in biological duplicates.

Project description:Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) refers to the family of RNA transcripts with more than 200 nucleotides in length, but cannot encode proteins. lincRNA (long intergenic noncoding RNA) is a subset of lncRNA that do not overlap with known genes. Increasing evidences have shown that some of these transcripts do in fact contain open reading frames (ORFs) to code short peptides, and do have significant functional roles within the cells. However, many of these peptides remain unannotated and uncharacterized. This study proposes a workflow integrating proteomics, transcriptomics and bioinformatics specifically for lincRNA-encoded peptide discovery. The workflow was tested on the mouse kidney inner medulla (IM), a region that contains the collecting duct system responsible for regulated water transport. In brief, short peptides (from 2 to 20 kDa) were enriched by tricine protein gel and in-gel trypsinized into peptides, then analyzed using high resolution mass spectrometry. However, to match mass fragment ion spectra to peptide sequences requires a reference peptide sequence database which are not available for the noncoding transcripts, and must be generated de novo in the sample of interest. We modified the RNA-Seq mapping workflow by filtering out coding reads first to better quantitate the noncoding transcript expressions. Also, a rule-based ORF prediction was implemented to select one best predicted ORF per noncoding transcript to construct the peptide library. Candidates were further evaluated using several quality control criteria and bioinformatics tools. Three candidates, conserved in rat and human, passed all criteria, maybe truly novel coding genes. In summary, we present a workflow based on the modern transcriptomics and proteomics technologies for lincRNA-encoded peptide discovery. A computational challenge is to generate a hypothetical lincRNA-encoded peptide database for peptide-mass spectra matching. With this workflow, we discovered three previously unannotated peptides in the mouse kidney inner medulla. The same workflow can be applied in any cell or tissue type of interest to quickly advance this research field.

Project description:Purpose: The Goal of this study is to look at 1) Differences in genome wide localization of Scc2 between wild type and scc4-m35 cells in S-phase 2) Differences in genome wide localisation of Scc1 cohesin between wild type and scc4-m35 in metaphase arrested cells. Method: 1) Wild-type (AM15307) and scc4-m35 (AM15311) cells carrying SCC2-3FLAG were fixed for 2 hr, 15 min following an a-factor arrest. Samples were harvested, anti-HA ChIP was performed and both input and IP samples were sequenced for both strains. 2) Wild-type (AM1145), wild type constructed in the same way as the mutant strain (carrying a HIS3 marker) (AM15540) and scc4-m35 mutant (AM15537) cells carrying SCC1-6HA were synchronised with a-factor and arrested in mitosis by treatment with nocodazole/benomyl for 2 hr. Samples were harvested, anti-HA ChIP was performed and input and IP samples were sequenced for the three strains. Results: 1) This experiment did not yield meaningful data. 2) All 16 centromeres were specifically depleted of Scc1 in the scc4-m35 background. Scc1 depletion extended roughly 10 kilobases to either side of the core centromere but not to chromosome arms 1) ChIP-seq for S. cerevisiae Scc2-3FLAG in S-phase cells in Wild type and in scc4-m35 mutant (samples VM1-VM4). 2) ChIP-seq for Scc1-6HA in metaphase-arrested cells in Wild type and in scc4-m35 mutant (samples VM5-VM10) Vasso Makrantoni: experiments and Alastair Kerr: ChIP Seq Data analysis https://github.com/AlastairKerr/Hinshaw2015
