Identification of RNA Virus-Derived RdRp Sequences in Publicly Available Transcriptomic Data Sets.

ABSTRACT: RNA viruses are abundant and highly diverse and infect all or most eukaryotic organisms. However, only a tiny fraction of the number and diversity of RNA virus species have been catalogued. To cost-effectively expand the diversity of known RNA virus sequences, we mined publicly available transcriptomic data sets. We developed 77 family-level Hidden Markov Model profiles for the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp)-the only universal "hallmark" gene of RNA viruses. By using these to search the National Center for Biotechnology Information Transcriptome Shotgun Assembly database, we identified 5,867 contigs encoding RNA virus RdRps or fragments thereof and analyzed their diversity, taxonomic classification, phylogeny, and host associations. Our study expands the known diversity of RNA viruses, and the 77 curated RdRp Profile Hidden Markov Models provide a useful resource for the virus discovery community.

Project description:ImportanceThere are limited resources providing postdonation conditions that can occur in living donors (LDs) of solid-organ transplant. Consequently, it is difficult to visualize and understand possible postdonation outcomes in LDs.ObjectiveTo assemble an open access resource that is representative of the demographic characteristics in the US national registry, maintained by the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network and administered by the United Network for Organ Sharing, but contains more follow-up information to help to examine postdonation outcomes in LDs.Design, setting, and participantsCohort study in which the data for the resource and analyses stemmed from the transplant data set derived from 27 clinical studies from the ImmPort database, which is an open access repository for clinical studies. The studies included data collected from 1963 to 2016. Data from the United Network for Organ Sharing Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network national registry collected from October 1987 to March 2016 were used to determine representativeness. Data analysis took place from June 2016 to May 2018. Data from 20 ImmPort clinical studies (including clinical trials and observational studies) were curated, and a cohort of 11 263 LDs was studied, excluding deceased donors, LDs with 95% or more missing data, and studies without a complete data dictionary. The harmonization process involved the extraction of common features from each clinical study based on categories that included demographic characteristics as well as predonation and postdonation data.Main outcomes and measuresThirty-six postdonation events were identified, represented, and analyzed via a trajectory network analysis.ResultsThe curated data contained 10 869 living kidney donors (median [interquartile range] age, 39 [31-48] years; 6175 [56.8%] women; and 9133 [86.6%] of European descent). A total of 9558 living kidney donors with postdonation data were analyzed. Overall, 1406 LDs (14.7%) had postdonation events. The 4 most common events were hypertension (806 [8.4%]), diabetes (190 [2.0%]), proteinuria (171 [1.8%]), and postoperative ileus (147 [1.5%]). Relatively few events (n = 269) occurred before the 2-year postdonation mark. Of the 1746 events that took place 2 years or more after donation, 1575 (90.2%) were nonsurgical; nonsurgical conditions tended to occur in the wide range of 2 to 40 years after donation (odds ratio, 38.3; 95% CI, 4.12-1956.9).Conclusions and relevanceMost events that occurred more than 2 years after donation were nonsurgical and could occur up to 40 years after donation. Findings support the construction of a national registry for long-term monitoring of LDs and confirm the value of secondary reanalysis of clinical studies.

Project description:Malaria is a deadly disease caused by Apicomplexan parasites of the Plasmodium genus. Several species of the Plasmodium genus are known to be infectious to human, of which P. falciparum is the deadliest. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins coordinate cell signalling and hence, regulate many biological processes in P. falciparum homeostasis and host infection, of which the most highly studied is phosphorylation. Phosphosites on proteins can be identified by tandem mass spectrometry (MS) performed on enriched samples (phosphoproteomics), followed by downstream computational analyses. We have performed a large-scale meta-analysis of 11 publicly available phosphoproteomics datasets, to build a comprehensive atlas of phosphosites in the P. falciparum proteome, using robust pipelines aimed at strict control of false identifications. We identified a total of 28,495 phosphorylated sites on P. falciparum proteins at 5% false localisation rate (FLR) and, of those, 18,100 at 1% FLR. We identified significant sequence motifs, likely indicative of different groups of kinases, responsible for different groups of phosphosites. Conservation analysis identified clusters of phosphoproteins that are highly conserved, and others that are evolving faster within the Plasmodium genus, and implicated in different pathways. We also explored the structural context of phosphosites, identifying a strong enrichment for phosphosites on fast evolving (low conservation) intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) of proteins. In other species, IDRs have been shown to have an important role in modulating protein-protein interactions, particularly in signalling, and thus warranting further study for their roles in host-pathogen interactions. All data has made available via UniProt, PRIDE and PeptideAtlas, with visualisation interfaces for exploring phosphosites in the context of other data on Plasmodium proteins.We have re-analysed publicly available mass spectrometry (MS) data sets enriched for phosphopeptides from Asian rice (Oryza sativa). In total we have identified, 15522 phosphosites on Serine, Threonine and Tyrosine residues on rice proteins. The data has been loaded into UniProtKB, enabling researchers to visualise the sites alongside other stored data on rice proteins, including structural models from AlphaFold2, and into PeptideAtlas, enabling visualisation of the source evidence for each site, including scores and source mass spectra. We identified sequence motifs for phosphosites, and link motifs to enrichment of different biological processes, indicating different downstream regulation caused by different kinase groups. We cross-referenced phosphosites against single amino acid variation (SAAV) data sourced from the rice 3000 genomes data, to identify SAAVs within or proximal to phosphosites that could cause loss of a particular site in a given rice variety. The data was further clustered to identify groups of sites with similar patterns across rice family groups, allowing us to identify sites highly conserved in Japonica, but mostly absent in, for example, Aus type rice varieties - known to have different responses to drought. These resources can assist rice researchers to discover alleles with significantly different functional effects across rice varieties.
