Regulatory architecture of the RCA gene cluster captures a novel intragenic boundary and enhancer elements in B cells

ABSTRACT: The Regulators of Complement Activation (RCA) gene cluster comprises several tandemly arranged genes which share functions in the innate immune system. We aimed to investigate the structural organisation of the RCA gene cluster to identify key regulatory elements that influence the expression of CR2 and other genes in this important immunomodulatory region. Using 4C-seq, we captured extensive CTCF-mediated chromatin looping across the RCA gene cluster in B cells and showed these were organised into two topological associated domains (TADs). Interestingly, the inter-TAD boundary was located within the CR1 gene at a well-characterised segmental duplication. Additionally, we mapped numerous gene-gene and gene-enhancer interactions across the region, revealing extensive co-regulation. Importantly, we uncovered an intergenic enhancer and functionally demonstrated this element upregulates two RCA members (CR2 and CD55) in B cells simultaneously. Here, we highlight novel, long-range mechanisms whereby SLE susceptibility may be influenced by genetic variants, and the important contribution of chromatin topology to gene regulation and complex genetic disease.

Acquired resistance mechanisms to capmatinib, a MET inhibitor in MET-amplified non-small cell lung cancer cells

Project description:Purpose: MET is a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) that has been considered a druggable target in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). To understand the mechanisms of resistance to MET-TKIs and establish therapeutic strategies, we developed an in vitro model using capmatinib-resistant cell lines (EBC-CR1, CR2, and CR3) derived from the MET-amplified NSCLC cell line EBC-1. Methods: We established capmatinib-resistant NSCLC cell lines from the MET-amplified NSCLC cell line EBC-1 and identified alternative signaling pathways using 3’mRNA sequencing and human phospho-RTK arrays. Copy number alterations were evaluated by quantitative PCR and cell proliferation assay; activation of RTKs and downstream effectors were compared between the parental cell line EBC-1 and the EBC-CR1, -CR2, and -CR3 resistant cell lines. Results: We found that epidermal growth factor (EGFR) mRNA expression and protein activation were increased in EBC-CR1–3 cells compared to EBC-1 cells. EBC-CR1 cells showed EGFR-dependent growth and sensitivity to afatinib, an irreversible EGFR TKI. EBC-CR2 cells, which overexpressed the EGFR-MET heterodimer, responded dramatically to the combination of capmatinib and the phosphoinositide-3 kinase catalytic subunit α (PIK3CA) inhibitor afatinib. In addition, EBC-CR3 cells, which had activated EGFR along with amplified PIK3CA, were sensitive to the combination of afatinib and the PI3Kα inhibitor. Conclusions: Our in vitro studies suggested that activation of EGFR signaling and/or genetic alteration of downstream effectors like PIK3CA were alternative resistance mechanisms used by capmatinib-resistant NSCLC cell lines. In addition, combined treatments with MET, EGFR, and PI3Kα inhibitors may be an effective therapeutic strategy in MET-TKI-resistant NSCLC patients.

HYPK controls stability and catalytic activity of the N-terminal acetyltransferase A in Arabidopsis thaliana

Project description:The ribosome-tethered N-terminal acetyltransferase A (NatA) acetylates 52% of soluble proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana. This co-translational shielding of the N-terminus stabilizes diverse cytosolic plant proteins. The Huntingtin yeast partner K (HYPK) facilitates NatA activity in planta, but in vitro, the N-terminal a-helix1 of HYPK inhibits NatA in the ternary NatA/HYPK complex. Consequently, the mechanism of HYPK function in plants was unknown. To understand the regulatory function of HYPK at the molecular level, we genetically engineered CRISPR/Cas9 mutants expressing either a non-functional HYPK (hypk-cr1) or an N-terminally deleted HYPK version (hypk-cr2). Like NatA-activity-depleted mutants, the hypk-cr1 and –cr2 mutants were more tolerant to drought stress and suffered from global proteome destabilization. Surprisingly, we found that absence of HYPK led to destabilization of the NatA subunits in leaves but not in roots of hypk-cr1. Further genetic and molecular evidence demonstrated that the stability of NatA subunits in leaves is mainly controlled by the C-terminal UBA domain of HYPK. While retaining the UBA domain, NatA activity was still impaired in hypk-cr2 leaves, implying that the N terminus of HYPK also contributes to the regulation of NatA activity. Furthermore, crossing of hypk-cr1 with a NatA-depleted mutant uncovered that HYPK promotes NatA activity not only by stabilizing NatA. Taken together, the activity-promoting function of the HYPK N-terminus depends on the binding of HYPK to NatA via the UBA domain, and is critical for NatA substrates starting with various amino acids. Our findings improve our understanding of the NatA regulatory subunit HYPK.

Project description:By differential gene expression analysis followed by protein expression and functional studies, we define that the naive T cells having divided the least since thymic emigration express complement receptors (CR1 and CR2) known to bind complement C3b- and C3d-decorated microbial products and, following activation, produce IL-8 (CXCL8), a major chemoattractant for neutrophils in bacterial defense. We also observed an IL-8–producing memory T cell subpopulation coexpressing CR1 and CR2 and with a gene expression signature resembling that of RTEs.

Rca-T78 vs, Rca-S78

Project description:Transcription profiiling of arabidopsis transgenic Rca-T78S comparing Control WT plant (Rca-T78). Rca is Rubisco activase and Threonine78 residue of Rca is phosphorylated only in the dark. However, Serine substituted Rca (T78S) was phosphorylated even in the light. Thus, Rca-T78 or Rca-T78S expressing plants which were exposed light for an hour were harvested to check gene expression pattern

Bone marrow-induced Mef2c deficiency delays B cell development and alters the expression of key B cell regulatory proteins

Project description:The Mef2 family transcriptional regulator Mef2c is highly expressed in maturing bone marrow and peripheral mature B cells. To evaluate the role of this transcription factor in B cell development, we generated a B cell specific conditional deletion of Mef2c using the Mb-1-Cre transgene that is expressed during the early stages of immunoglobulin rearrangement. Young mice possessing this defect demonstrated a significant impairment in B cell numbers in bone marrow and spleen. This phenotype was evident in all B cell subsets; however, as the animals mature, the deficit in the peripheral mature B cell compartments was overcome. The absence of Mef2c in mature B cells led to unique CD23+ and CD23- subsets that were evident in Mef2c KO primary samples as well as cultured, differentiated B cells but not in WT cell populations. Genome wide expression analysis of immature and mature B cells lacking Mef2c indicated altered expression for a number of key regulatory proteins for B cell function including Ciita, CD23, Cr1/Cr2, and Tnfsf4. Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis confirmed Mef2c binding to the promoters of these genes indicating a direct link between the presence (or absence) of Mef2c and altered transcriptional control in mature B cells. Four samples are submitted.
