Project description:Glycolytic (G) bodies were purified from hypoxic yeast using differential centrifugation and immunoprecipitation by Pfk2-GFP-Flag in order to determine the RNAs that localize to G bodies by determining the enrichment of RNAs copurified with G bodies over both the flow through and total RNA fractions. We find significant overlap between enriched RNAs and RNAs bound by glycolysis enzymes in normoxic conditions. Our study determined that RNA is an integral component of G bodies and is required for G body formation. Specific mRNAs are only slightly enriched in G bodies.
Project description:Glycolysis is upregulated in cells under specific conditions, such as hypoxia and high energy demand, to achieve the metabolic requirements for continued cell proliferation. However, the mechanism of this increased glycolytic rate remains poorly understood. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we discovered that hypoxia induces concentration of many glycolytic enzymes, including the Pfk2p subunit of the ratelimiting enzyme, phosphofructokinase, into a single, non-membrane-bound granule that we define as the "glycolytic body" or "G body". Pfk2p localization to G bodies depends on its N-terminal, intrinsically disordered region. In order to identify factors important for G body formation, we conducted a yeast kinome screen and identified the AMP kinase ortholog, Snf1p, to be required for the localization of multiple glycolytic enzymes to G bodies. Further, proteomic analyses of purified G bodies identified a core set of resident factors, many of which are essential for G body integrity. Cells incapable of forming G bodies in hypoxic conditions display abnormal cell division and produce inviable daughter cells. Conversely, cells that form G bodies show increased glucose consumption and decreased levels of glycolytic intermediates. Importantly, G bodies also form in human, hepatocarcinoma cells upon hypoxic stress. Together, our results suggest that G body formation is a conserved, adaptive response to increase glycolytic output during hypoxia or tumorigenesis.
Project description:We report the result of lncRNAs binding to Hes1 in colon cancer SW480 cells using Magna RIP™ RNA-Binding Protein Immunoprecipitation Kit (Millipore, MD, USA) following the manufacturer's instructions, the RNAs were analyzed by Illumina HiSeq 2500 Sequencing.
Project description:To demonstrate RIPSeeker program that is developed for RIP-seq analyses, we generated RIP-seq data corresponding to the protein CCNT1 in HEK293 cell line using standard RIP-seq protocols described in Zhao et al., (2010). We performed two in-house RIP-seq experiments both for CCNT1 in human HEK293 cells. Briefly, we generated tagged CCNT1 using a triple tag system that supports lentiviral stable expression and mammalian affinity purification (MAPLE) Mak et al (2010). The HEK293 cells stably expressing tagged CCNT1 was purified by M2 agarose beads, followed by RNA extraction by Trizol. The library synthesis was carried out according to the RIP-seq protocol described in Zhao et al., (2010) except that one of the two experiments was done with non-strand-specific sequencing.
