Project description:Ribonuclease Inhibitor (RI also known as Rnh1) is a 50 kDa, ubiquitously expressed leucine-rich repeat (LRR) protein. It is localized in cytosol and binds to pancreatic-type ribonucleases and inhibit their function. However the entire biological role for Rnh1 is unknown. We generated Rnh1 knock out mice by homologous recombination. Here we studied differential gene expression from wild type (Rnh1 +/+), Heterozygous (Rnh1+/-) and Knock out (Rnh1-/-) yolk sacs isolated from embryonic day 9.5 (E9.5). We used microarrays to study global gene expression regulated by Rnh1 in yolk sacs. Total RNA was isolated from E9.5 yolk sacs of Rnh1 Wild type, heterozygous and knock out.

Project description:Summary: Ribonuclease Inhibitor (RI also known as Rnh1) is a 50 kDa, ubiquitously expressed leucine-rich repeat (LRR) protein. It is localized in cytosol and binds to pancreatic-type ribonucleases and inhibit their function. However, the entire biological role for Rnh1 is unknown. We generated RNH1 knock out K562 cells by CRISPR/Cas9 method. Here we studied differential gene expression from wild type and RNH1 knock out K562 cells by RNA-Seq analysis. Overall design: Total RNA was isolated from wild type and RNH1 deficient K562 cells.
Project description:Ribonuclease Inhibitor (RI also known as Rnh1) is a 50 kDa, ubiquitously expressed leucine-rich repeat (LRR) containing protein. It binds to pancreatic-type ribonucleases and inhibit their function. However, the entire biological role of Rnh1 is unknown. We generated RNH1 knock out K562 cells by CRISPR/Cas9 method. We isolated polysomal RNA from control and RNH1-deficient K562 cells to quantify actively translated mRNAs by RNA-seq.
Project description:PGCs undergo two distinct stages of demethylation before reaching a hypomethylated ground state at E13.5. Stage 1 occurs between E7.25- E9.5 in which PGCs experience a global loss of cytosine methylation. However, discreet loci escape this global loss of methylation and between E10.5-E13.5, stage 2 of demethylation takes place. In this stage these loci are targeted by Tet1 and Tet2 leading to the loss of the remaining methylation and resulting in the epigenetic ground state. Our data shows that Dnmt1 is responsible for maintaining the methylation of loci that escape stage 1 demethylation, and that it functions in a UHRF1 independent manner. Our data further demonstrates that when these loci lose methylation prior to stage 2 it results in early activation of the meiotic program, which leads to precocious differentiation of the germ line resulting in a decreased pool of PGCs in the embryo and subsequent infertility in adult mice.
Project description:We collected whole genome testis expression data from hybrid zone mice. We integrated GWAS mapping of testis expression traits and low testis weight to gain insight into the genetic basis of hybrid male sterility.
