Project description:i-Motifs (iMs) are four-stranded DNA structures that form at cytosine (C)-rich sequences and in acidic conditions in vitro. However, their formation and distribution in cells is still under debate. Here we performed CUT&Tag sequencing using the anti-iM antibody iMab and showed that iMs form within the human genome in live cells. We mapped native iMs in two different human cell lines and recovered C-rich sequences that were confirmed to fold into iMs in vitro. We found that iMs in cells are mainly present at actively transcribing gene promoters and that their abundance and distribution are specific to each cell type. iMs with both long and short C-tracts were recovered, further extending the relevance of iMs throughout the genome. By simultaneously mapping G-quadruplexes (G4s), four-stranded structures that form at guanine-rich regions, and comparing the results with iMs, we proved that the two structures can form in independent genomic regions; however, when both iMs and G4s are present in the same genomic tract, their formation is favored. Our findings support the in vivo formation of iM structures and provide new insights into their interplay with G4s as new regulatory elements in the human genome.

Project description:Cervicovaginal lavage (CVL)supernatants were heat inactivated for 30 minutes at 56°C before further processing. Total protein concentrations were determined using the Pierce Coomassie Plus (Bradford) Protein Assay (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL, USA). Sample protein content and volume were normalised with 25mM ammonium bicarbonate (ABC). Soluble proteins were precipitated using an equal volume of ice cold 30% (w/v) TCA in acetone and incubated at -20⁰C for 2 hours. Samples were centrifuged at 12,000g for 10 minutes (4⁰C) to pellet proteins. Pellets were washed three times with ice cold acetone and allowed to air dry. Further sample processing was performed as previously described (Armstrong et al, 2014) with minor modifications. Briefly, protein pellets were resuspended in 25 mM ABC, 0.05%(w/v) rapigest (Waters), reduced and alkylated. Digestion was performed with proteomic-grade trypsin (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) at a protein:trypsin ratio of 50:1. Rapigest was precipitated by addition of trifluoroacetic acid to a final concentration of 0.5% (v/v). Peptide mixtures were analyzed by on-line nanoflow liquid chromatography using the nanoACQUITY-nLC system (Waters MS technologies) coupled to an LTQ-Orbitrap Velos (ThermoFisher Scientific, Bremen, Germany) mass spectrometer equipped with the manufacturer’s nanospray ion source. The gradient of the analytic column (nanoACQUITY UPLCTM BEH130 C18 15cm x 75µm, 1.7µm capillary column) consisted of 3-40% acetonitrile in 0.1% formic acid for 90 min then a ramp of 40-85% acetonitrile in 0.1% formic acid for 5min.

Project description:Samples were subjected to LC–MS analysis using a dual pressure LTQ-Orbitrap Elite mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) connected to an electrospray ion source (Thermo Fisher Scientific) as recently described (PMID: 23017020). Peptide separation was carried out on an EASY nLC-1000 system (Thermo Fisher Scientific) equipped with a RP-HPLC column (75 μm × 30 cm) packed in-house with C18 resin (ReproSil-Pur C18–AQ, 1.9 μm resin, Dr. Maisch GmbH). A step-wise gradient from 95% solvent A (0.1% formic acid) and 5% solvent B (80% acetonitrile, 0.1% formic acid) to 50% solvent B over 60 min at a flow rate of 0.2 μl/min was used. Data acquisition mode was set to obtain one high resolution MS scan in the FT part of the mass spectrometer at a resolution of 240,000 full width at half-maximum (at m/z 400) followed by 20 MS/MS scans (TOP20) in the linear ion trap of the most intense ions using rapid scan speed. Unassigned and singly charged ions were excluded from analysis. Dynamic exclusion duration was set to 30 seconds.

Project description:We designed and experimentally validated an in silico gene deletion strategy for engineering endogenous one-carbon (C1) metabolism in yeast. Specifically, a Flux Balance Analysis (FBA) model predicted that five genes ALT2, FDH1, FDH2, FUM1, and ZWF1, when deleted in combination, would cause Saccharomyces cerevisiae to overproduce and secrete formic acid under aerobic growth conditions. Once constructed, the quintuple mutant strain showed the predicted increase in formic acid secretion relative to a formate dehydrogenase mutant (fdh1 fdh2 ), while formic acid secretion in wild-type yeast was undetectable. Gene expression and physiological data generated post hoc identified a mitochondrial deficiency phenotype in the engineered strain and regulatory events that suggest a role for multisite modulation—the coordinated expression of multiple pathway enzymes—in controlling yeast C1 metabolism. Together, these results demonstrate that FBA-based modeling strategies can be useful tools for non-fermentative pathway design and discovery in eukaryotic microbes. In addition, the results indicate that seemingly unrelated mutations can be combined to modulate flux through biochemical reactions that interact at a systems level across subcellular compartments. Samples were processed in biological triplicate with one sample processed with dye orientations reversed to minimize the effects of incorporation bias.

Project description:The industrial solvent trichloroethylene (TCE) produces a marked formic aciduria in male and female F344 rats and in male C57Bl mice following single or multiple dosing. The two major metabolites of TCE formed by cytochromes P450 metabolism also produce formic aciduria. The quantity of formic acid excreted was about 2-fold higher following trichloroacetic acid (TCA) compared to trichloroethanol (TCE-OH) or TCE, at similar doses of 16mg/kg/day for 3 days. Prior treatment of male F344 rats with 1-aminobenzotriazole a cytochrome P450 inhibitor, followed by TCE, completely prevented the formic aciduria but had no effect on formic acid excretion produced by TCA, suggesting TCA is the proximate metabolite producing this response. Metabolism of formic acid is largely controlled by the vitamin B12 –dependent methionine salvage pathway. Transcriptomic analysis on the liver of rats dosed with 16mg/kg/day TCE for three days when compared to control liver showed nine differentially expressed genes, of particular interest was the down regulation of LMBRD1 involved in the conversion of vitamin B12 into one of two molecules, methylcobalamin (CH3Cbl) or S-adenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl). Administration of CH3Cbl or hydroxocobalamin for 3 days to rats given a single dose of TCE, lead to a reduction in formic acid in their urine. Similarly, rats given TCE followed by L-methionine for 3 days excreted less formic acid in their urine. These findings suggest an effect on the vitamin B12 –dependent methionine salvage pathway. This was supported by the finding that hepatic methionine synthase, which converts homocysteine to methionine, was inhibited following three large daily dose of TCE. We propose that TCE metabolites interact with the vitamin B12 -dependent methionine salvage pathway leading to tetrahydrofolate deficiency and increased excretion of formic acid in rat urine.

Project description:i-Motifs (iMs) are four-stranded structures formed by certain cytosine-rich nucleic acids. They may be involved in regulation of cellular processes such as transcription. In addition, the pH dependency of iMs makes them suitable for certain nanobiotechnological applications. Probes that recognize these structures with high specificity and affinity can significantly advance the iM research field. Here we report the generation of an iM specific nanobody (iMbody) and describe its applications for the in vitro characterization of a potential iM-forming oligonucleotide, strand-specific pull-down of iMs present in the human genome at near physiological pH and temperature followed by sequencing, and visualization of iMs in the nuclei of human cells. Utilization of iMbody could be beyond above-mentioned applications and it can be used to investigate iMs in other organisms. The plasmid encoding iMbody for the bacterial expression is available via Addgene (Plasmid #184496).

Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below. Lung-resident macrophages, which include alveolar macrophages and interstitial macrophages (IMs), exhibit a high degree of diversity, generally attributed to different activation states, and often complicated by the influx of monocytes into the pool of tissue-resident macrophages. To gain a deeper insight into the functional diversity of IMs, here we perform comprehensive transcriptional profiling of resident IMs and reveal ten distinct chemokine-expressing IM subsets at steady state and during inflammation. Similar IM subsets that exhibited coordinated chemokine signatures and differentially expressed genes were observed across various tissues and species, indicating conserved specialized functional roles. Other macrophage types shared specific IM chemokine profiles, while also presenting their own unique chemokine signatures. Depletion of CD206hi IMs in Pf4creR26EYFP+DTR and Pf4creR26EYFPCx3cr1DTR mice led to diminished inflammatory cell recruitment, reduced tertiary lymphoid structure formation and fewer germinal center B cells in models of allergen- and infection-driven inflammation. These observations highlight the specialized roles of IMs, defined by their coordinated chemokine production, in regulating immune cell influx and organizing tertiary lymphoid tissue architecture.
