Project description:A ELMSeq reporter cassette was created to monitor Dam levels by methylation, and introduced in the genome. Some regions upstream dam were randomized to see their effect on gene expression. So the cassette consists in: 4xGATC sites - (promoter) - random region - dam. The amplicon was spanning the whole cassette, including some bases inside the dam. The cassette was introduced in Mycoplasma pneumoniae.

Project description:To determine the transcription start site and the abundance of dam mRNA, we conducted mRNA-specific RNA-Seq experiments. Essentially two strategies were tested. First strategy: We obtained the cDNA with a specific RT-PCR in order to get the mRNA from our dam construct (see DNA-seq of DamID reporter cassette). An enrichment, in which we used a Biotinylated dam oligo and Streptavidin magnetic beads, was needed. Then, similar to SHAPE-seq, the ssDNA ligation was performed with CircLigase. The last step was the PCR reaction in order to prepare the cDNA libraries to be sequenced. Second strategy: Similar to the first one, but the specificity was introduced at the PCR, not at the RT. Thereby, busk cDNA was prepared with random hexamers. The enrichment step was not needed.

Project description:The experiment was designed to identify differential gene expression due to dominant negative mutation of the Sox18 gene in the ragged Opossum spontaneous mouse mutant. Gene expression was analysed after whole RNA isolation in dermal spheres as hair follicle inductive mesenchyme tissue, and was intended to identify gene expression patterns associated with alteration of hair induction post Sox18 mutation.

Project description:The tripartite attachment complex (TAC) is essential for mitochondrial DNA (kDNA) segregation in Trypanosoma brucei, providing a physical link between the flagellar basal body and the mitochondrial genome. Although the TAC's hierarchical assembly and linear organization have been extensively studied, much remains to be discovered regarding its complete architecture and composition – for instance, our identification of a new TAC component underscores these knowledge gaps. Here, we use a combination of proteomics, RNA interference (RNAi), and Ultrastructure Expansion Microscopy (U-ExM) to characterize the TAC at high resolution and identify a novel component, TAC53 (Tb927.2.6100). Depletion of TAC53 in both procyclic and bloodstream forms results in kDNA missegregation and loss, a characteristic feature of TAC dysfunction. TAC53 localizes to the kDNA in a cell cycle–dependent manner and represents the most kDNA-proximal TAC component identified to date. U-ExM reveals a previously unrecognized tubular architecture of the TAC, with two distinct TAC structures per kDNA disc, suggesting a mechanism for precise kDNA alignment and segregation. Moreover, immunoprecipitation and imaging analyses indicate that TAC53 interacts with known TAC-associated proteins HMG44, KAP68, and KAP3, forming a network at the TAC-kDNA interface. These findings redefine our understanding of TAC architecture and function and identify TAC53 as a key structural component anchoring the mitochondrial genome in T. brucei.

Project description:Allelic differences between the two sets of chromosomes can affect the propensity of inheritance in humans, but the extent of such differences in the human genome has yet to be fully explored. Here, we delineate allelic chromatin modifications and transcriptomes amongst a broad set of human tissues, enabled by a chromosome-span haplotype reconstruction strategy1. The resulting haplotype-resolved epigenomic maps reveal extensive allele bias in the transcription of human genes as well as chromatin state, allowing us to infer cis-regulatory relationships between genes and their control sequences. These maps also uncover a new class of cis regulatory elements and detail activities of repetitive elements in various human tissues. The rich datasets described here will enhance our understanding of the mechanisms controlling tissue-specific gene expression programs. One replicate of Hi-C experiment in four human tissues with four different individuals (Thymus STL001, Aorta STL002, Leftventricle STL003, and Liver STL011).

Project description:Single-nuclei RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) data of human adipose tissue. The samples are a part of a study investigating the effect of Lifestyle intervention on human adipose tissue. The 10 participants represented in this study were severely obese at project start with a mean BMI of 46.0 ± 3.1 kg/m2 and a BMI range of 31.4–63.0 kg/m2, with a 50/50 female/male ratio. After intervention mean BMI was 40.8 ± 2.8 kg/m2 with BMI range: 27.4–57.5 kg/m2. These participants took part in 15-weeks of consecutive lifestyle intervention consisting of a hypocaloric diet and moderate physical activity. Hypocaloric diet was calculated for the specific participant and calculated to reduce the subject’s body weight by approximately 1% per week. The exercise consisted of 2-3 hours of moderate-intensity physical activity (e.g. walking or swimming) 5 days per week. The specific details are reported in Bruun et al. Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab, 2006 (https://doi.org/10.1152/ajpendo.00506.200). The snRNA-seq data contains nuclei isolated from 19 available biopsies with 9 samples before intervention and 10 samples after intervention.The RNA quality of one of the baseline samples was too low to proceed with snRNAseq (sample J "before" was excluded in the manuscript, but is included here).

Project description:Receptor kinases (RKs) play fundamental roles in extracellular sensing to regulate development and stress responses across kingdoms. In plants, leucine-rich repeat receptor kinases (LRR-RKs) function primarily as peptide receptors that regulate myriad aspects of plant development and response to external stimuli. Extensive phosphorylation of LRR-RK cytoplasmic domains is among the earliest detectable responses following ligand perception, and reciprocal transphosphorylation between a receptor and its co-receptor is proposed to activate the receptor complex. Originally conceived based on characterization of the brassinosteroid receptor, the prevalence of complex activation via reciprocal transphosphorylation across the plant RK family has not been tested. Using the LRR-RK ELONGATION FACTOR TU RECEPTOR (EFR) as a model RK, we set out to understand the steps critical for activating RK complexes. The EFR cytoplasmic domain is an active protein kinase in vitro and is phosphorylated in a ligand-dependent manner in vivo. Nevertheless, catalytically deficient EFR variants are functional in anti-bacterial immunity. These results reveal a non-catalytic role for the EFR cytoplasmic domain in triggering immune signaling and indicate that reciprocal transphoshorylation is not a ubiquitous requirement for LRR-RK complex activation. Rather, our analysis of EFR along with a detailed survey of the literature suggests a distinction between LRR-RK complexes with RD- versus non-RD-type protein kinase domains. Based on newly identified phosphorylation sites that regulate the activation state of the EFR complex in vivo, we propose that LRR-RK complexes containing a non-RD-type protein kinase may be activated by an allosteric mechanism triggered by activation segment phosphorylation and possibly involving conformational changes of the protein kinase domain of the ligand-binding receptor.

Project description:Multi-batch isobaric labeling experiments are frequently applied for clinical and pharmaceutical studies of large sample cohorts. To tackle the critical issue of missing values in such studies, we introduce the ProSIMSIt pipeline. It combines the advantages of tandem mass spectrum clustering via SIMSI-Transfer and data-driven rescoring via Prosit and Oktoberfest. We demonstrate that these two tools are complementary and mutually beneficial. On large-scale cancer cohort data, ProSIMSIt increased the number of peptide spectrum matches (PSMs) by 40% on both global and phosphoproteome datasets. Furthermore, on data from proteome-wide drug-response profiling of post-translational modifications (decryptM), our pipeline substantially increased drug-PTM relations and unveils previously unseen downstream effects of drug target inhibition. ProSIMSIt is available as an open-source Python package with a simple command line interface that allows easy application to MaxQuant result files.

Project description:The parasite Plasmodium falciparum is responsible for severe malaria, which is still one of the major causes of death in developing countries. To provide a new RNA-seq reference dataset for its blood-stage transcriptome according to current guidelines and best practices, we performed a time course experiment with three independent biological replicates of synchronized P. falciparum 3D7 cells, that were cultivated at a haematocrit of 5% in human O+ erythrocytes. RNA-seq samples were taken at 8 developmental stages including young ring stage (8 hpi), late ring stage/early trophozoite (16 hpi), mid-age trophozoite (24 hpi), late trophozoite (32 hpi), early schizont (40 hpi), schizont (44 hpi), late schizont (48 hpi) and purified merozoites (0 hpi). Red blood cell pellets were lysed with Trizol and total RNA was purified using column-based purification (PureLink RNA Kit) including DNase treatment on the column and controlling for absence of genomic DNA contamination using qPCR. Whole blood total RNA samples were depleted of human globin mRNA using magnetic bead isolation technology (GLOBINclear kit). After RNA sample quality control and optimized cDNA libraries preparation for AT-biased genomes for Illumina sequencing, RNA-seq was performed at BGI Genomics (Shenzhen, China) on HiSeq 4000 to generate 100 bp paired-end sequencing reads.
