Project description:The goal of this study was to apply Next Generation Sequencing analyses to identify genes and pathways regulated by the FOXK1 and FOXK2 transcription factor in HeLa cells and to see whether reconstitution of FOXK1 WT and mutants can rescue the altered gene regulation in FOXK1 KO cells. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis did not uncover any dysregulated DNA damage–related pathways upon FOXKs KO. We found that cells reconstituted with any of the three FOXK1 mutants could largely rescue dysregulated gene expression in FOXK1 KO cells, similar to cells reconstituted with WT FOXK1. These suggesting that FOXK1's role in DNA damage response is not by direct transcriptional regulation of DNA damage related pathways and all the three FOXK1 mutants could not affect transcription.
Project description:Polycomb group (PcG) proteins are major determinants of gene silencing and epigenetic memory in higher eukaryotes. Acting in multimeric protein complexes, these factors control structure and function of chromatin. We used a robust affinity purification mass spectrometry (AP-MS) approach to systematically map the PcG protein interactome in a single human cell line. Importantly, we uncovered the topology map of the human PR-DUB de-ubiquitination complexes, which comprise the O-linked N-acetylglucosamine transferase OGT1 and a number of transcription factors. Here we provide genome-wide chromatin maps of identified PR-DUB1 subunits ASXL1, FOXK1 and the OGT1 catalyzed modification O-GlcNAc based on ChIP-seq. Our data set comprises 3 ChIP-seq samples plus 2 input control samples using chromatin from Flp-In HEK293 T-REx cells cells which was immunoprecipitated using antibodies against ASXL1, FOXK1 and O-GlcNAc.
Project description:The goal of this study was to apply Next Generation Sequencing analyses to identify genes and pathways regulated by the Foxk1 and Foxk2 transcription factor in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. We found, that series of enzymes involved in metabolism of lipids and carbohydrates, as well as cell migration, proliferation and adhesion are regulated in response to this transcription factor, thereby providing important insight into biological role of Foxk1 and Foxk2 for cells survival and metabolism.
Project description:D3, D5 and D10 EBs from iHA-Foxk1 and Foxk1 KO cells were harvested for RNA and submitted for sequencing to understand the transcriptional profile of these cells during differentiation in the presence and absence of FOXK1
Project description:50k cells from D3, D5 and D10 EBs from iHA-Foxk1 and Foxk1 KO cells were harvested for ATAC-seq and submitted for sequencing to understand the chromatin dynamics of these cells during differentiation in the presence and absence of FOXK1

Project description:A major target of insulin signaling is the FoxO family of Forkhead transcription factors, which translocate from the nucleus to the cytoplasm following insulin-stimulated phosphorylation. Here we show that the Forkhead transcription factors FoxK1 and FoxK2 are also downstream targets of insulin action, but that following insulin stimulation, they translocate from the cytoplasm to nucleus, reciprocal to the translocation of FoxO1. FoxK1/FoxK2 translocation to the nucleus is dependent on the Akt-mTOR pathway, while its localization to the cytoplasm in the basal state is dependent on GSK3. Knockdown of FoxK1 and FoxK2 in liver cells results in upregulation of genes related to apoptosis and down-regulation of genes involved in cell cycle and lipid metabolism. This is associated with decreased cell proliferation and altered mitochondrial fatty acid metabolism. Thus, FoxK1/K2 are reciprocally regulated to FoxO1 following insulin stimulation and play a novel role in the control of apoptosis, metabolism and mitochondrial function.
Project description:In order to investigate the genome-wide binding profile of the forkhead transcription factor FOXK2 in human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and downstream cell types, we generated the RNA-seq data with FOXK1/2 and SIN3A siRNA in H1 ESC cells and FOXK1/2 siRNA in the differentiated NPC cells.
