Project description:Abasic (AP) sites are one of the most common forms of DNA damage which can lead to polymerase stalling, strand breaks and mutations. We developed snA-seq, a mapping method that reveals the location of abasic sites at base-resolution. Using synthetic DNA, we show that high selectivity for AP DNA is achieved. We use this method to explore the distribution of thymine modifications in the Leishmania major genome, by converting these into abasic sites using a glycosylase enzyme. We also apply snAP-seq to the human genome to study the distribution of endogenous AP sites, in both APE1 knockdown and control cells.

Project description:Ligation probe pool was tested with different concentrations of synthetic dsDNA template molecules to determine analytical sensitivity of the method. Probes are ligated into circular molecules if their target sequence is present in the reaction. Ligated probes are then PCR amplified and the PCR products are hybridized to a microarray by tag sequences.

Project description:DNA secondary structures are important for fundamental genome functions such as transcription and replication1. The G-quadruplex (G4) structural motif has been linked to gene regulation2,3 and genome instability4,5 and may be important to cancer development and other diseases6-8. Recently, ~700,000 discrete G4s have been observed in naked human single-stranded genomic DNA using G4-seq, a high-throughput sequencing technique that detects structural features in vitro.9 It is of vital importance to investigate G4 structures within an endogenous chromatin context, which until now remained elusive10,11. Herein, we address this via the development of G4 ChIP-seq, an antibody-based G4 chromatin immunoprecipitation and high-throughput sequencing approach. We identified ~10,000 endogenous G4 structures and show that G4s are predominantly seen in regulatory, nucleosome-depleted, chromatin regions. G4s were enriched in the promoters and 5âUTR regions of highly transcribed genes, particularly in genes related to cancer and in somatic copy number amplifications, such as MYC. Reorganization of the chromatin landscape using a histone deacetylase inhibitor, resulted in de novo G4 formation in new and more prominent regulatory, nucleosome-depleted regions associated with increased transcriptional output. Our findings suggest a striking relationship between promoter nucleosome-depleted regions, G4 formation and elevated transcriptional activity. Comparison between normal human epidermal keratinocytes and their immortalized counterparts revealed a ï¾7-fold greater G4 abundance in immortalized cells, of which 80 % were found in regulatory, nucleosome-depleted regions common to both cell types. Consequently, cells exhibiting more G4s displayed significantly increased transcriptional output and were more sensitive to growth inhibition by a small molecule G4 ligand. Overall, our results provide new mechanistic insights into where and when DNA adopts G4 structure in vivo. Our findings show for the first time that regulatory, nucleosome-depleted chromatin and transcriptional states predominantly shape the endogenous G4 DNA landscape. Two cell lines, treated with entinostat or untreated, analyzed to detect gene expression differences, presence of G-Qudruplexes and chromatin state. Each combination of conditions replicated in duplicates or triplicates.

Project description:A375 and HT1080 cells are treated with G-quadruplex ligands PDS or PhenDC3 following genome-wide shRNA knockdown. This enables the identification of genes that when silenced, specifically compromises cell growth in the presence of the ligand. First, a pilot screen was performed to determine a ligand concentration and experimental duration that caused ligand-specific, significant changes in shRNA levels. Second, a genome-wide screen was performed to globally evaluate G4-ligand synthetic lethal interactions. Third, to corroborate the G4-sensitisers uncovered in the genome-wide screen, a focussed screen was performed with a custom shRNA pool.

Project description:Diagnostic primer extension assay to serotype Streptococcus pneumoniae. Assay validation. Background: Monitoring of Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype epidemiology is essential since serotype replacement is a concern when introducing new polysaccharide-conjugate vaccines. To simplify S. pneumoniae serotyping, a novel PCR-based automated microarray assay was developed to assist in the tracking of the serotypes. Results: Autolysin (lytA), pneumolysin (ply) and eight genes located in the capsular operon (cps) were amplified using multiplex PCR. This step was followed by a tagged fluorescent primer extension step targeting serotype-specific polymorphisms. The tagged primers were then hybridized to a microarray. Results were exported to an expert system that transforms genetic typing data into capsular serotype identification. The assay was validated on 166 cultured S. pneumoniae samples from 63 different serotypes as determined by the Quellung method. In addition, the assay was tested on clinical specimens including 43 cerebrospinal fluid samples from patients with meningitidis and 59 nasopharyngeal aspirates from bacterial pneumonia patients. The assay presented with no cross-reactivity for 24 relevant bacterial species found in these types of samples. The limit of detection for serotyping and S. pneumoniae detection was 100 genome equivalent per reaction. Conclusion: This automated assay is amenable to clinical testing and does not require any culturing of the samples. The assay will be useful for the evaluation of serotype prevalence changes after new conjugate vaccines introduction. 166 quellung serotyped strains and two negative controls

Project description:Hybridization of ligation probes to a zipcode (tag) microarray. The purpose of the experiment was to establish functionality and target specificity of the ligation probes by using pools of synthetic templates with all of the probes. The templates are 80-mer synthetic dsDNA molecules, each specific for a single probe. Each probe is a ssDNA molecule containing target recognition sequences, PCR primer binding sequences and a unique tag sequence. If a matching target sequence is present in the mixture, the probes is ligated into a circular molecule, which can be PCR amplified and hybrized on a microarray harbouring complementary tag sequences.

Project description:Transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) is a member of Coronaviridae family. Our previous research showed that TGEV infection could induce mitochondrial dysfunction and up-regulat miR-222 level. Therefore, we presumed that miR-222 might be implicated in regulating mitochondrial dysfunction induced by TGEV infection. To verify the hypothesis, the effect of miR-222 on mitochondrial dysfunction was detected and showed that miR-222 attenuated TGEV-induced mitochondrial dysfunction. To investigate the underlying molecular mechanism of miR-222 in TGEV-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, a quantitative proteomic analysis of PK-15 cells that were transfected with miR-222 mimics and infected with TGEV was performed. In total, 4151 proteins were quantified and 100 differentially expressed proteins were obtained (57 up-regulated, 43 down-regulated), among which thrombospondin-1 (THBS1) and cluster of differentiation 47 (CD47) were down-regulated. THBS1 was identified as the target of miR-222. Knockdown of THBS1 and CD47 increased mitochondrial Ca2+ level and decreased mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) level. Together, our data establish a significant role of miR-222 in regulating mitochondrial dysfunction in response to TGEV infection.

Project description:The ring-shaped cohesin complex is thought to fulfil its roles in sister chromatid cohesion, genome stability and gene regulation by topologically encircling DNAs. The ring is formed by two Structural Maintenance of Chromosome (SMC) subunits, whose ATPase heads are linked by a kleisin subunit. Additional components, including the Mis4Scc2/NIPL cohesin loader, engage the kleisin. Here, we visualize a DNA gripping intermediate during cohesin loading onto DNA by cryo-electron microscopy. ATP-dependent head engagement creates an interaction surface onto which Mis4Scc2/NIPL clamps the DNA. We use biophysical tools to establish the order of events during cohesin loading. DNA first traverses an N-terminal kleisin gate that was opened by ATP binding and closed again as the loader locks the DNA. Ensuing ATP hydrolysis and head disengagement, assisted by Mis4Scc2/NIPL, will complete DNA entry. A conserved kleisin N-terminal tail guides the DNA on its trajectory to successful topological DNA entry into the cohesin ring.
