Project description:Binding to RNA has been observed for an ever-increasing number of proteins, which often have other functions. The contributions of RNA binding to protein function are best discerned by studying “separation-of-function” mutants that hamper interaction with RNA without affecting other aspects of protein function. To design these mutants, we need precise knowledge of the residues that contribute to the affinity of the protein to its RNA ligands. Here, we present RBR-scan: a technology to simultaneously measure RNA-binding affinity of a large number of protein variants. We fused individual variants with unique peptide barcodes optimized for detection by mass spectrometry (MS), purified protein pools from single bacterial culture, and assayed proteins in parallel for RNA binding. Mutations in the MS2 coat protein known to impair RNA-binding were correctly identified, as well as a previously unreported mutant, which we validated with orthogonal biochemical methods. We used RBR-scan to discover novel RNA-binding mutants in the cancer-associated splicing regulator SRSF2. Together, our results demonstrate that RBR-scan is a powerful and scalable platform for linking RNA-binding affinity to protein sequence, offering a novel strategy to decode the functional consequences of protein–RNA interactions.

Project description:we compared the skin transcriptomes of the black- and white-coated region from the Boer and Macheng Black crossbred goat with black head and white body using the Illumina RNA-Seq method. Six cDNA libraries derived from skin samples of the white coat region (n = 3) and black coat region (n = 3) were constructed from three full-sib goats. On average, we obtained approximately 76.5 and 73.5 million reads for each skin sample of black coat and white coat, respectively, of which 75.39% and 76.05% reads were covered in the genome database. Our study provides insight into the transcriptional regulation of two distinct coat color that might serve as a key resource for understanding coat color pigmentation of goat.

Project description:Since domestication, horses have been selectively bred for various coat colors and white spotting patterns. To investigate breed distribution, allele frequencies, and potential lethal variants for recommendations on genetic testing, 29 variants within 14 genes were investigated in 11,281 horses from 28 breeds. The recessive chestnut ea allele in melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) (p.D84N) was identified in four breeds: Knabstrupper, Paint Horse, Percheron, and Quarter Horse. After filtering for relatedness, ea allele frequency in Knabstruppers was estimated at 0.035, thus illustrating the importance of testing for mate selection for base coat color. The Rocky Mountain Horse breed had the highest allele frequency for two of the dilution variants under investigation (Za.f. = 0.32 and Cha.f. = 0.026); marker-assisted selection in this breed could aid in the production of horses with desirable dilute coats with less severe ocular anomalies caused by the silver (Z) allele. With regard to white patterning, nine horses homozygous for the paired box 3 (PAX3) splashed white 2 (SW2) allele (p.C70Y) and six horses homozygous for the KIT proto-oncogene, receptor tyrosine kinase (KIT) sabino 1 (SB1) allele (ECA3g.79544206A>T) were identified, thus determining they are rare and confirming that homozygosity for SW2 is not embryonic lethal. The KIT dominant white 20 (W20) allele (p.R682H) was identified in all but three breeds: Arabian (n = 151), Icelandic Horse (n = 66), and Norwegian Fjord Horse (n = 90). The role of W20 in pigmentation across breeds is not well understood; given the different selection regimes of the breeds investigated, these data provide justification for further evaluating the functional role of this allele in pigmentation. Here, we present the largest dataset reported for coat color variants in horses to date, and these data highlight the importance of breed-specific studies to inform on the proper use of marker-assisted selection and to develop hypotheses related to pigmentation for further testing in horses.

Project description:Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), the most frequent cyanotic congenital heart disease, occurs as a simplex trait of unknown etiology in the majority of cases. Studies of non-Asian populations suggest that approximately 10% of TOF cases carry a de novo rare copy number variant (CNV) thought to underlie the malformation. A genome-wide CNV analysis was performed in 303 TOF and 302 controls of Han Chinese as well as compared to 1,000 common Chinese database and revealed 166 rare CNVs identified in TOF patients with 119 CNVs further evaluated as potential “TOF-specific CNVs”; 98 were validated by qPCR, and 44 CNVs showed positive results on validation (positive rate 46.9%, 44/98). The genes related to the clinical phenotypes (subpulmonary VSD, bicuspid pulmonary valve, aortic valve overriding more than 75%, and right aortic arch) and the specific CNVs were included in integrating gene-gene interaction network analysis that identified the genes covering the specific CNVs directly or indirectly correlated to TOF and the signaling pathways. Thus, this study identified novel TOF-specific/associate CNVs in the Han Chinese that occurring at higher frequency in the Han Chinese (28.4% in Chr 1-20 and 42.9% in all chromosomes) is reflective of the increased prevalence of TOF in China. These novel CNVs identify new candidate genes for TOF. Our findings provide new insight into the contribution of CNVs to the genetic basis of TOF and identify new genetic loci potentially important to the pathogenesis of TOF

Project description:Splashed white is a coat color pattern in horses characterized by extensive white patterning on the legs, belly, and face often accompanied by blue eyes and deafness. Three mutations in microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) and two mutations in Paired Box 3 (PAX3) have been identified that explain splashed white patterns (SW1-SW5). An American Paint Horse stallion with a splashed white phenotype and blue eyes, whose parents were not white patterned, was negative for the 5 known splashed white variants and other known white spotting alleles. This novel splashed white phenotype (SW6) was hypothesized to be caused by a de novo mutation in MITF or PAX3. Analysis of whole-genome sequencing using the EquCab3.0 reference genome for comparison identified an 8.7 kb deletion in MITF on ECA16 (NC_009159.3:g.21551060-21559770del). The deletion encompassed part of intron 7 through the 3' UTR of exon 9 of MITF, including the helix-loop-helix DNA-binding domain (ENSECAT00000006375.3). This variant is predicted to truncate protein and impair binding to DNA. Sanger sequencing confirmed the stallion was heterozygous for the MITF deletion. No single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) or structural variants were identified in PAX3 or any of the other candidate genes that were unique to the stallion or predicted to affect protein function. Genotyping five of the stallion's splashed white offspring, including one all white foal, found that they were also heterozygous for the deletion. Given the role of MITF in producing white pattern phenotypes, and the predicted deleterious effect of this mutation, this 8.7 kb deletion is the likely causal variant for SW6.
