Project description:Organelles like lysosomes and synaptic vesicles are acidified by V-ATPases, which consist of a cytosolically-oriented V1 complex that hydrolyzes ATP and a membrane-embedded VO complex that pumps protons. In yeast, V1-VO association is facilitated by the RAVE complex, but how higher eukaryotes assemble V-ATPases remains unclear. Here, we identify a metazoan RAVE complex (mRAVE) whose structure and composition are notably divergent from the ancestral counterpart. mRAVE consists of DMXL1 or DMXL2, WDR7, and the central linker ROGDI. DMXL1/2 interacts with subunits A and D of the inactive, isolated V1. Upon dissipation of proton gradients, mRAVE binds to V1 and VO, forming a supercomplex on the membrane. mRAVE then catalyzes V1-VO assembly, enabling lysosomal acidification, neurotransmitter loading into vesicles, and ATG16L1 recruitment for LC3/ATG8 conjugation onto single-membranes (CASM). Our findings provide a molecular basis for neurological disorders caused by mRAVE mutations.
Project description:We used recombinant Versican (either isoform V1 or an abridged isoform called V1-5GAG) digested with purified ADAMTS1, 4, or 5 compared to inactive controls to determine novel protease cleavage sites within versican.
Project description:Geobacter sulfurreducens PCA was put under selective pressure for rapid Fe(III) oxide reduction. The resultant strain, V1, contained five confirmed mutations and reduced Fe(III) oxide 17 times faster. One of these five mutations inactivates dcuB, a fumarate/succinate antiporter necessary for growth with fumarate as an electron acceptor. V1 dcuB+ is a V1 strain containing a wild type copy of dcuB. Whole genome DNA microarray analysis was performed in order to determine which genes are up- or down-regulated in V1 dcuB+ compared to PCA, both grown with fumarate as an electron acceptor.
Project description:Spatial transcriptomics faces a trade-off between the number of genes assayed and depth of per-gene sensitivity. We developed a 'dual chemistry' method that combines the high sensitivity of a 10X Genomics Xenium V1 custom panel (up to 480 genes) with the broad coverage of the Prime 5K panel (5001 genes) on a single tissue section. This involved co-hybridizing Prime and V1 probes and sequentially running the V1 and Prime decoding chemistries. Applied to a human lung tissue microarray, we observed high concordance between the V1 and Prime chemistries when run independently (on serial sections) and the dual chemistry runs. Overlapping genes (profiled on both V1 and Prime chemistries) showed similar expression patterns in the dual run demonstrating the fidelity of the assay. By combining information from both the V1 and Prime chemistries within the same cell, we retain more cells, gain valuable additional information, and enable both high sensitivity profiling and discovery.
