Project description:Guanine quadruplexes (G4s) are unique secondary structures of nucleic acids with functions in many biological processes. Understanding the biological functions of DNA G4s requires the knowledge about their recognitions by cellular proteins. Affinity pull-down coupled with LC-MS/MS analysis was previously employed to identify G4-binding proteins (G4BPs); the approach, however, has limitations in capturing weak and transient interactions, potentially leading to false-positives. Here, we developed a photoclick chemistry-based method, in combination with LC-MS/MS, for uncovering G4BPs. By incorporating a photoactivatable ortho-nitrobenzylamine (o-NBA) moiety into G4 DNA probes and employing UVA irradiation along with stringent washing, we identified 99 proteins enriched with G4 structures derived from the human telomere. We further validated the abilities of one of these proteins, HELLS, in binding and resolving G4 structures both in vitro and in chromatin. Together, we developed a photoclick chemistry-based approach for identifying novel G4BPs. Our work led to the discovery of new G4BPs, and uncovered novel functions of HELLS in recognizing and unwinding G4 structures in vitro and in cells.

Project description:Post-hybridization washing is an essential part of microarray experiments. Both, the quality of the experimental washing protocol and the adequate consideration of washing in intensity calibration ultimately affect the quality of the expression estimates extracted from the microarray intensities. We conducted experiments on GeneChip microarrays with altered protocols for washing, scanning and staining to study the probe-level intensity changes as a function of washing cycles. Particularly, three Affymetrix GeneChip HGU133plus2 arrays were hybridized and equilibrated for 16 hours in the hybridization oven. For one of the three arrays washing and staining was performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For another array the first scan was done immediately after low stringent wash and staining without intermitting stringent washing. Then, the array was stringently washed and scanned in alternating order three more times where each washing step consists of a definite number of washing cycles. The third array was low stringently washed followed by two stringent washing cycles and staining before the first scan. Subsequently it was analogously processed as array A. All three chips are repeatedly processed in a second series of alternating wash/scan-cycles which was performed using the same protocol for each chip as in the first series as described above. As in the first series the arrays were also stained a second time to compensate for any loss of bleached fluorescent dye. Analysis of the washing kinetics shows that the signal-to-noise ratio doubles roughly every ten stringent washing cycles. Washing can be characterized by time-dependent rate constants which reflect the heterogeneous character of target binding to microarray probes. We propose an empirical washing function which estimates the survival of probe bound targets. The washing function allows calibrating probe intensities for the effect of washing. On a relative scale, proper calibration for washing markedly increases expression measures especially in the limit of small and large values.

Project description:MSCs were lysed in cell lysis buffer for Western blotting and IP (Beyotime, Cat. No. P0013). A Dynabeads™ protein G immunoprecipitation kit (Invitrogen, Cat. No. 10007D) was used for Co-IP according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Dynabeads were resuspended and placed on a magnet to remove the supernatant then incubated with Ab Binding & Washing Buffer containing an anti-BRD4 antibody for 10 min at room temperature with rotation. The supernatant was removed by placing tubes on a magnet, and the Dynabeads-antibody complex was washed with Ab Binding & Washing Buffer. MSC lysates were added to the Dynabeads-antibody mixture and incubated for 10 min at room temperature with rotation. The supernatant was removed, the Dynabeads-antibody complex mixture was washed with washing buffer, and the proteins were separated using a standard SDS–PAGE system.

Project description:Using the iCLIP protocol we have identified the cellular RNA entities that are bound by MOV10. We report the location and sequence of the MOV10 binding region on each RNA entity. To identify the RNAs that bound MOV10, we UV-cross-linked HEK293F cells and immunoprecipitated with an irrelevant antibody (ir or "control") followed by a MOV10-specific antibody (MOV10) to isolate associated RNAs after stringent washing.

Experiment Overall Design: The aim of the study was to understand the probe-level intensity changes as a function of washing cycles. For this experiment RNA was prepared from a cancer cell line and used for probe synthesis. Hybridisation to three Affymetrix microarrays was identically performed with aliquotes of one hybridization mix from a single RNA sample. The protocols for washing, scanning and staining were altered.

Project description:microRNAs, important regulators of cell proliferation and apoptosis, have been shown to be involved in the pathogenesis of acute myeloid leukemia in adulthood AML. However, comprehensive studies in AML of children and adolescents are missing so far. We investigated the miRNA expression profiles of different AML subtypes from 102 pediatric patients in comparison to CD34+ cells from healthy donors and adult AML patients, in order to identify differentially expressed miRNAs. Pediatric samples with core factor binding acute myeloid leukemia and promyelocytic leukemia could be distinguished from each other and MLL rearranged AML subtypes by 9 and 18 miRNAs, respectively. miR-126, -146a, -181a/b, -100, and miR-125b were identified as highest differentially expressed with marked difference of expression between pediatric and adulthood samples of the same cytogenetic subgroup. We next isolated the miRNA targeting complex from t(8;21) and t(15;17) cell line models and comprehensively identified bound miRNAs and targeted mRNAs by a newly devised immunoprecipitation assay followed by rapid microarray detection. Our findings indicate separate binding preferences for the four human Argonaute proteins. Subsequent bioinformatic analysis revealed a concerted action of different Ago proteins in the regulation of AML-relevant pathways, providing an experimental based database of miRNA-mRNA target interaction in Argonaute proteins. Ago-associated microRNAs: Co-immunoprecipitation in the acute myeloid leukemia cell line models, KASUMI-1 and NB4, of the four human Argonaute complexes using monoclonal antibodies and stringent washing conditions. We performed photo-activated UV cross-linking using 4M-bM-^@M-^Y-thioruidine before cell lysis. Unspecific binding to the bead matrix and to the Fc part of the monoclonal rat antibody were recorded and corrected by empty bead controls and an antibody isotype control. Argonaute-associated miRNAs/mRNAs and unspecific bound miRNAs/mRNAs of the isotype control were identified by microarray hybridization. These experiments were performed in triplicates.

Project description:The experimental spike-in studies of microarray hybridization conducted by Affymetrix demonstrate a nonlinear response of fluorescence intensity signal to target concentration. It was shown that the Langmuir adsorption isotherm recapitulates a general trend of signal response to concentration. However, this model fails to explain some key properties of the observed signal. In particular, according to the simple Langmuir isotherm, all probes should saturate at the same intensity level. However, this effect was not observed in the publicly available Affymetrix spike-in datasets. In our experimental study, we attempt to account for the unexplained variation in the observed probe intensities using customized fluidics scripts. We explore experimentally the effect of the stringent wash, target concentration, and hybridization time on the final microarray signal. Experiment Overall Design: The washing effect is assessed by scanning chips both prior to and after the stringent wash (Wash Condition). Selective labeling of both specific and non-specific targets allows the visualization and investigation of the washing effect for both specific and non-specific signal components. By varying the length of the hybridization cycle, the issue of attaining probe-target binding equilibrium can be addressed (Hybridization Time). To explore saturation potential, we performed hybridization experiments in which four clones are spiked-in and hybridized to two chips at a concentration of 1nM and 10nM respectively, each in the absence of complex background (Labeling Condition).
