Project description:Genetic variation governs protein expression through both transcriptional and post-transcriptional processes. To investigate this relationship, we combined a multiplexed, mass spectrometry-based method for protein quantification with an emerging mouse model harboring extensive genetic variation from 8 founder strains. We collected genome-wide mRNA and protein profiling measurements to link genetic variation to protein expression differences in livers from 192 diversity outcross mice. We observed nearly 3,700 protein-level quantitative trait loci (pQTL) with an equal proportion of proteins regulated directly by their cognate mRNA as uncoupled from their transcript. Our analysis reveals an extensive array of at least five models for genetic variant control of protein abundance including direct protein-to-protein associations that act to achieve stoichiometric balance of functionally related enzymes and subunits of multimeric complexes.

Project description:Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress occurs when misfolded proteins accumulate in the ER. The cellular response to ER stress involves complex transcriptional and translational changes, important to the survival of the cell. ER stress is a primary cause and a modifier of many human diseases. A first step to understanding how the ER stress response impacts human disease is to determine how the transcriptional response to ER stress varies among individuals. The genetic diversity of the eight mouse Collaborative Cross (CC) founder strains allowed us to determine how genetic variation impacts the ER stress transcriptional response. We used tunicamycin, a drug commonly used to induce ER stress, to elicit an ER stress response in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) derived from the CC founder strains and measured their transcriptional responses. We identified hundreds of genes that differed in response to ER stress across these genetically diverse strains. Strikingly, inflammatory response genes differed most between strains; major canonical ER stress response genes showed relatively invariant responses across strains. To uncover the genetic architecture underlying these strain differences in ER stress response, we measured the transcriptional response to ER stress in MEFs derived from a subset of F1 crosses between the CC founder strains. We found a unique layer of regulatory variation that is only detectable under ER stress conditions. Over 80% of the regulatory variation under ER stress derives from cis-regulatory differences. This is the first study to characterize the genetic variation in ER stress transcriptional response in the laboratory mouse. Our findings indicate that the ER stress transcriptional response is highly variable among strains and arises from genetic variation in individual downstream response genes, rather than major signaling transcription factors. These results have important implications for understanding how genetic variation impacts the ER stress response, an important component of many human diseases.

These results have important implications for understanding how genetic variation impacts the ER stress response, an important component of many human diseases. We investigated the genetic variation in ER stress transcriptional response in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) across eight mouse strains: A/J, C57BL/6J, 129S1Sv/ImJ, NOD/ShiLtJ, NZO/H1LtJ, CAST/EiJ, PWK/PhJ, and WSB/EiJ. MEFs from each strain were treated with a control DMSO or ER stress-inducing drug, Tunicamycin (TM). To identify the genetic architecture underlying this genetic variation, MEFs from F1 strains were also studied. MEFs from the following F1s were evaluated: C57BL/6J X CAST/EiJ, C57BL/6J X 129S1Sv/ImJ, C57BL/6J X NOD/ShiLtJ, C57BL/6J X NZO/H1LtJ, and C57BL/6J X WSB/EiJ. Again F1 MEFS were treated with either DMSO or TM. There are two or three replicates for each sample.

Project description:The essential stress-responsive chaperone Hsp90 impacts development and adaptation from microbes to humans. Yet despite evidence of its role in evolution, pathogenesis, and oncogenic transformation, the molecular mechanisms by which Hsp90 alters the consequences of mutations remain vigorously debated. Here we exploit the power of nucleotide-resolution genetic mapping in Saccharomyces cerevisiae to uncover more than 1,000 natural variant-to-phenotype associations governed by this molecular chaperone. Strikingly, Hsp90 more frequently modified the phenotypic effects of cis-regulatory variation than variants that altered protein sequence. Moreover, these interactions made the largest contribution to Hsp90-dependent heredity. Nearly all interacting variants—both regulatory and protein-coding—fell within clients of Hsp90 or targets of its direct binding partners. Hsp90 activity affected mutations in evolutionarily young genes, segmental deletions, and heterozygotes, highlighting its influence on variation central to evolutionary novelty. Reconciling the diverse epistatic effects of this chaperone, synthetic transcriptional regulation and reconstructions of natural alleles by genome editing revealed a central role for Hsp90 in regulating the fundamental relationship between activity and phenotype. Our findings establish that non-coding variation is a core driver of Hsp90’s influence on heredity, offering a mechanistic explanation for the chaperone’s strong effects on evolution and development across species.

Project description:Maize is highly sensitive to short term flooding and submergence. We aimed to discover genetic variation for submergence tolerance in maize and elucidate the genetic basis of submergence tolerance through transcriptional profiling of contrasting genotypes. A diverse set of maize nested association mapping (NAM) founder lines were screened, and two highly tolerant (Mo18W and M162W) and sensitive (B97 and B73) genotypes were identified. Transcriptome analysis was performed on these inbreds to provide genome level insights into the molecular responses to submergence.

Project description:The Caucasus, inhabited by modern humans since the Early Upper Paleolithic and known for its linguistic diversity, is considered to be important for understanding human dispersals and genetic diversity in Eurasia. We report a synthesis of autosomal, Y chromosome, and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation in populations from all major subregions and linguistic phyla of the area. Autosomal genome variation in the Caucasus reveals significant genetic uniformity among its ethnically and linguistically diverse populations and is consistent with predominantly Near/Middle Eastern origin of the Caucasians, with minor external impacts. In contrast to autosomal and mtDNA variation, signals of regional Y chromosome founder effects distinguish the eastern from western North Caucasians. Genetic discontinuity between the North Caucasus and the East European Plain contrasts with continuity through Anatolia and the Balkans, suggesting major routes of ancient gene flows and admixture.
