Project description:The goal of this project was to understand the functional consequences of plasma biogenic amine serotonin (5-HT) elevation in megakaryocytes by measuring gene expression Total RNA was extracted from the megakaryocytes of mice treated with either 5-HT or saline and global gene expression was measured.

Project description:The importance of unanchored Ub in innate immunity has been shown only for a limited number of unanchored Ub-interactors. We investigated what additional cellular factors interact with unanchored Ub and whether unanchored Ub plays a broader role in innate immunity. To identify unanchored Ub-interacting factors from murine lungs, we used His-tagged recombinant poly-Ub chains as bait. These chains were mixed with lung tissue lysates and protein complexes were isolated with Ni-NTA beads. Sample elutions were subjected to mass spectrometry (LC-MSMS) analysis.
