Project description:We investigated the role of RNMT in T cells using an Rnmt conditional knockout mouse model. We report that the mRNA cap methyltransferase, RNMT, supports naïve T cell survival and activation-induced proliferation. We demonstrate that RNMT has gene-specific impacts in T cells, selectively regulating expression of terminal polypyrimidine tract (TOP) mRNAs and small RNAs including snoRNAs. To deterine if had any effect on ribosomal RNA modification we carried out pseudoridine sequencing.
Project description:We aim to find the gene-specific effects of Rnmt KO in mouse CD4 T cells. TMT proteomics datasets were generated to find out which proteins are dependent on RNMT for their expression.

We report that the mRNA cap methyltransferase, RNMT, supports naïve T cell survival and activation-induced proliferation. We demonstrate that RNMT has gene-specific impacts in T cells, selectively regulating expression of terminal polypyrimidine tract (TOP) mRNAs which are targets of the m7G-cap binding protein LARP1. These LARP1 eCLIP experiments determine the RNA binding sites of LARP1 in naive CD4 T cells from Rnmt cKO and control mice.
Project description:We aimed to identify how loss of the cap methyltransferase RNMT affected the ribosomes and ribosome-associated proteins in activated CD4 T cells.

Project description:An analysis of 2D2-WT and 2D2-HDAC1-cKO mice indicates an important function of HDAC1 in regulating autoimmune diseases, in particular experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis). The aim of this NGS experiment was to determine the transcirptome profile of in vivo activated 2D2-WT and 2D2-HDAC1-cKO CD4+ T cells in the absence of HDAC1 following MOG/CFA footpad immunization.
Project description:We investigated the role of RNMT and its cofactor RAM in T cells using conditional knockout mouse models. We demonstrate that RNMT and RAM have broadly overlapping roles in CD4 T cell activation.
Project description:Villin-Cre+ Lsd1fl/fl (cKO) mice display an immature intestinal epithelium characterized by an incomplete differentiation of enterocytes and secretory lineages, reduced number of goblet cells and a complete loss of Paneth cells. This experiment aims to elucidate the differences in stool microbial composition derived from WT (Villin-Cre- Lsd1fl/fl) and cKO mice both in adult (2-month-old) and neonatal (14 days postpartum P14) stages. Different timepoints are crucial to understand the role of intestinal maturation in microbiome composition since said maturation is dependent on time-dependent external cues happening at P14-21 (weaning and transition from milk to solid foods).
