Project description:Previous research has linked perceived social isolation (loneliness) to reduced antiviral immunity, but the immunologic effects of the objective social isolation imposed by pandemic “shelter in place” (SIP) policies is unknown. We assessed the immunologic impact of SIP by relocating 21 adult male rhesus macaques from 2000 sq-m field cage communities of 70-132 other macaques to 2 wks of individual housing in indoor shelters. SIP was associated with down-regulation of Type I interferon (IFN) antiviral gene expression. This effect emerged within the first 48 hrs of SIP, persisted for at least 2 wks, and abated within 4 wks of return to social housing. A subsequent round of SIP in the presence of a novel juvenile macaque abrogated this effect. These results identify a significant adverse effect of SIP social isolation on antiviral immune regulation in circulating immune cells and they suggest a potential behavioral strategy for ameliorating such effects by promoting pro-social engagement during SIP.

Project description:Bioavailability of electron acceptors is probably the most limiting factor in the restoration of anoxic, contaminated environments. The oxidation of contaminants such as aromatic hydrocarbons, particularly in aquifers, often depends on the reduction of ferric iron or sulphate. We have previously detected a highly active fringe zone beneath a toluene plume at a tar-oil contaminated aquifer in Germany, where a specialized community of contaminant degraders co-dominated by Desulfobulbaceae and Geobacteraceae had established. Although on-site geochemistry links degradation to sulphidogenic processes, dominating catabolic (benzylsuccinate synthase alpha-subunit, bssA) genes detected in situ appeared more related to those of Geobacter spp. Therefore, a stable isotope probing (SIP) incubation of sediment samples with 13C7-toluene and comparative electron acceptor amendment was performed. We introduce pyrosequencing of templates from SIP microcosms as a powerful new strategy in SIP gradient interpretation (Pyro-SIP). Our results reveal the central role of Desulfobulbaceae for sulphidogenic toluene degradation in situ, and affiliate the detected bssA genes to this lineage. This, and the absence of 13C-labelled DNA of Geobacter spp. in SIP gradients preclude their relevance as toluene degraders in situ. In contrast, Betaproteobacteria related to Georgfuchsia spp. became labelled under iron-reducing conditions. Furthermore, secondary toluene degraders belonging to the Peptococcaceae detected in both treatments suggest the possibility of functional redundancy amongst anaerobic toluene degraders on site.

Project description:We developed an adaptation to Split-Pool Recognition of Interactions by Tag Extension (SPRITE) called SPRITE-immunoprecipitation (SIP), which enables us to map genome-wide higher-order interactions that are coupled with the protein of interest. In this study we generated SIP data fo H3K4me3 and pan-promoter mark. We generated SIP maps in two mammalian cell types – mouse embryonic stem cells (mES) and mouse bone marrow derived dendritic cells.

Project description:Chromatin loops are a major componant of 3D nuclear organization that appear as intense point-to-point interactions in Hi-C maps. Identification of these loops is an important part of Hi-C analysis. We present SIP, Significant Interaction Peak caller, a platform independent program to identify these loops in a time and memory efficient manner and which is resistant to noise and sequencing depth. We also present a companion tool, SIPMeta, to create more visually accurate average plots of Hi-C and HiChIP data. We then demonstrate that use of SIP and SIPMeta can lead to biological insight through characterizing the contribution of several transcription factors to CTCF loops in human cells. We then use SIP and SIPMeta to discover loops associated with condensin IDCC in C. elegans and confirm these loops by HiChIP. These loops form a network of interactions and likely explain the partial condensation of dosage compensated X chromosomes in hermaphrodites.

Project description:MetaProSIP offers an automated high-throughput solution for 13C or 15N protein-SIP experiments. Labeled peptides are identified based on their unlabeled isotopologues. It calculates incorporation of heavy isotopes (RIA), the labeling ratio (LR) between proteins as well as additional shape properties of the isotopic distribution. FeatureXML files have been created using OpenMS 1.10 using the FeatureFinderCentroided tool. Unlabeled peptides have been identified by OMSSA 2.1.9 (precursor mass tolerance 10 ppm, fragment mass tolerance 0.5 Da, FDR filtering at 2%) and mapped to the feature data using the IDMapper tool.

Project description:The limit of 15N detection in proteins of Pseudomonas putida was studied by LC-MS/MS. Cells were grown in the presence of 0.1%15N to 10% 15N.The method of protein-based stable isotope probing (protein-SIP) has previously been shown to allow the modeling of carbon fluxes in microbial communities, demonstrating its high benefit in microbial ecology. The method’s high sensitivity allows the analysis of stable isotope distribution in target molecules, revealing metabolic activities of the species present in an ecosystem. Besides carbon, an application of protein-SIP with nitrogen is of interest for resolving the nitrogen fluxes in microbial communities. Thus, the sensitivity and reliability of a protein-SIP approach employing ^15 N was analyzed. For this, cultivations of Pseudomonas fluorescens ATCC 17483 with different ratios of ^14 N:^15 N were performed, from 10 % down to 0.1 % ^15 N. After incubation leading to complete labeling of biomass, proteins were extracted and separated by one-dimensional gel electrophoresis (1-DE), followed by tryptic digest and UPLC Orbitrap MS/MS analysis. ^15 N relative isotope abundance (RIA) was calculated based on isotopic patterns from identified peptides in mass spectra. The distribution of ^15 N RIA values among peptides was analyzed in samples with different ^15 N amount, and potential causes for variations within individual samples of either technical or biological origin were investigated. Using a number of 50 peptides, significant differences in ^15 N incorporation were found down to 0.1 % RIA. The study demonstrates that protein-SIP using ^15 N is sufficiently sensitive for quantitative investigation of microbial activity in nitrogen cycling processes. Raw data were processed for database search using Thermo Proteome Discoverer software (v1.0 build 43). Search was performed by tandem mass spectrometry ion search algorithms from the Mascot house server (v2.2.1). The following parameters were selected: /Pseudomonas fluorescens/ sequences of NCBInr (NCBI, version June 2012 and later) as criterion for taxonomy, tryptic cleavage, maximal two missed cleavage sites. A peptide tolerance threshold of ± 10 ppm and an MS/MS tolerance threshold of ± 0.2 Da were chosen. Carbamidomethylation at cysteines was given as static and oxidation of methionines as variable modification. Peptide identification data from all samples were merged using Thermo® Proteome Discoverer software (v1.0 build 43, Thermo Fisher Scientific). Only rank 1 peptides that reached a false-positive probability less than 0.05 in at least one sample were considered for further analysis.

Project description:In order to obtain a global view on the transcriptional changes induced by the sex-inducing pheromone released by Seminavis robusta mating type plus cells (SIP+), an RNA-seq experiment was conducted. Therefore, purified SIP+ from RP-UPLC/MS was added to MT- cultures, 15 min before light onset after a prolonged dark period. MT- cultures without extract addition constituted the control conditions. Samples were taken after 15 min, 1 h and 3 h of illumination. An additional, non-treated MT- culture was harvested before illumination.
