Project description:We analyzed RING1B binding regions in 3T3-L1 cell lines transduced with the retroviral vector for V5-tagged Fbxl10 or its dF-box mutant. RING1B ChIP-seq in empty, Fbxl10-1, and dF-box mutant vector transduced 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, in duplicate, and V5-Fbxl10 ChIP-seq in Fbxl10 overexpressing 3T3-L1 cells
Project description:Stem cells antigen-1 (Sca-1) is an 18-kDa mouse glycosyl phosphatidylinositol-anchored cell surface protein that has widely been used for isolation of murine hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). However, recently several studies have reported the expression of this protein in non-HSCs such as the liver, skin and muscles among others. In the current study, we used fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) technique to sort Sca-1+ stem cells from mouse hindlimb muscles. The Sca-1+ cells were divided into two sets first set of Sca-1+ cells were processed for protein extraction immediately after sorting (ex vivo set) while the second set of samples, referred to as in vitro set, were expanded in cell culture after sorting and harvested after two passage and then processed for protein extraction. A high-resolution proteome map of the ex vivo and in vitro sets was generated Orbitrap Fusion Tribrid Mass Spectrometer. In total, the analysis led to the identification of 5,581 protein groups.
Project description:We compared gene expression differences in Atxn1L knockout vs wildtype HSCs KO allele described in Pub Med ID: 22014525 HSCs were purified as Lineage-negative, Sca-1+ c-Kit+ (LSK), CD150+ and Side population from both Atxn1L-null and WT mice on C57Bl/6 background
Project description:CHIP is a neuroprotective E3-ubiquitin ligase that supports longevity and healthy ageing. Loss of CHIP function has a major impact on life expectancy in animal models, whilst in humans’ mutations that compromise the E3-ligase activity of CHIP are causative for forms of Spinocerebellar Ataxia (SCA) that are accompanied by cognitive decline and/or dementia. The pathways regulated by CHIP to maintain neuronal health remain to be discovered. Gene-edited neuroblastoma cells were produced and used as a model to study the effects of CHIP loss on the steady state proteome in the absence of proteotoxic stress. Label free quantitative proteomic analysis (SWATH-MS) highlighted VGF, a member of the neuropeptide precursor family of proteins, as being a dominant protein responding to loss of CHIP function. By studying the dependence of VGF expression on CHIP using SILAC and RNA-Seq we have defined a role for the ligase in regulated neuropeptide expression.
Project description:Stem cell antigen-1 (Sca-1 or Ly6A) is a member of the Ly6 family of glycosyl phostidylinositol (GPI)-anchored cell surface proteins. To determine the potential mechanisms by which Sca-1 regulates cell migration, adhesion, and tumor development; we performed an Affymetrix mouse genome 430A 2.0 array on cDNA comparing shLuc and shSca-1 from cells grown in vitro.
Project description:Transcriptome analysis of leukemic granulocyte/macrophage progenitors (L-GMPs) from MLL-AF9-transduced Fbxl10+/+ and Fbxl10-/- cells (Fbxl10-/- L-GMPs vs Fbxl10+/+ L-GMPs)
Project description:Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) catalyzes H2A monoubiquitination (uH2A) and regulates pluripotency in embryonic stem cells (ESCs). However the mechanisms controlling PRC1 recruitment and activity are largely unknown. Here we show that Fbxl10 interacts with Ring1B and Nspc1, forming a non-canonical PRC1. We demonstrate that Fbxl10-PRC1 is essential for H2A ubiquitination in mouse ESCs. Genome-wide analyses reveal that Fbxl10 preferentially binds to CpG islands and co-localizes with Ring1B on Polycomb target genes. Notably, Fbxl10 depletion causes modest dissociation of Ring1B but a major loss of uH2A on target genes. Furthermore rescue experiments for Fbxl10 reveal that its DNA binding capability and integration into PRC1 are required for proper H2A ubiquitination. ES cells lacking Fbxl10, like previously characterized Polycomb mutants, show a severely compromised capacity for successful differentiation. Our results shed light on a novel mechanism how CpG islands regulate chromatin function by affecting polycomb recruitment and activity. All ChIP-seq reactions were performed in either untransfected cells, cells expressing scrambled shRNA or Fbxl10 shRNA, Ring1b-/- or Suz12-/- mouse ES cells
