Project description:To faithfully segregate chromosomes during vertebrate mitosis, kinetochore-microtubule interactions must be restricted to a single site on each chromosome. Prior work on pair-wise kinetochore protein interactions has been unable to identify the mechanisms that prevent kinetochore formation in regions with a low density of CENP-A nucleosomes. To investigate the impact of higher-order assembly on kinetochore formation, we generated defined oligomers of the inner kinetochore protein CENP-T using two distinct, genetically engineered systems in human cells. Although individual CENP-T molecules interact poorly with other kinetochore proteins, oligomers that mimic the centromeric density of CENP-T trigger the robust formation of functional, cytoplasmic kinetochore-like particles. Both in cells and in vitro, each molecule of oligomerized CENP-T recruits substantially higher levels of outer kinetochore components than monomeric CENP-T molecules. Thus, the density-dependence of CENP-T restricts outer kinetochore recruitment to centromeres, where densely packed CENP-A recruits a high local concentration of CENP-T.

Project description:Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) is the most extensively studied growth factor in dentin-pulp complex, with pleiotropic effects on pulp response and healing. Our main objective was to analyze the expression profile of pulp tissue and odontoblasts, and the effects of TGF-β1 on these profiles in cultured human pulp and odontoblasts with a specific interest in the anti- and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Experiment Overall Design: Pulp tissues and odontoblasts were cultured for different time periods, and microarray was performed to both cultured and native samples to detect the effects of TGF-β1. Expression of various interleukins (IL) were confirmed by RT-PCR, and in +/- TGF-β1 treated pulps also by antibody array.

Project description:Cytokinetic abscission is the last step of cell division during which the daughter cells physically separate through the generation of barriers in the form of new plasma membrane or cell wall. While the contractile ring is a prominent structure during cytokinesis in bacteria, fungi and animal cells, the mechanism is divergent in Apicomplexa. In Toxoplasma gondii, two daughter cells are formed within the intact mother cell by endodyogeny. The acquisition of plasma membrane at the end of the division cycle occurs by an unknown mechanism, when the mother cell disassembles, and the daughter cells emerge. Here we identified and functionally characterized the essential subunits of a predicted PP2A complex in T. gondii, named PP2A-2. The three subunits PP2A-A2, -B2 and -C2 exhibit a dynamic localization during parasite division. Their individual downregulation prevents the accumulation of plasma membrane at the division plane, resulting in a block of cytokinesis. Remarkably, the absence of cytokinetic abscission does not preclude division cycles and the consecutive progeny is able to successfully egress from the infected cells but fails to glide andinvade new host cells.

Project description:Protein Ser/Thr phosphatase PP1 is always associated with one or two regulatory subunits or RIPPOs. One of the earliest evolved RIPPOs is PPP1R2, also known as Inhibitor-2. Since its discovery nearly 5 decades ago, PPP1R2 has been variously described as an inhibitor, activator or (metal) chaperone of PP1, but it is still unknown how PPP1R2 affects the function of PP1 in intact cells. Here, using newly developed research tools, we demonstrate that PPP1R2 stabilizes a subgroup of PP1 holoenzymes, exemplified by PP1:RepoMan, thereby promoting the dephosphorylation of their substrates. Mechanistically, the recruitment of PPP1R2 disrupts the inhibitory, fuzzy interaction between the C-terminal tail and catalytic domain of PP1, and generates an additional C-terminal RepoMan-interaction site. The resulting holoenzyme is further stabilized by a direct PPP1R2:RepoMan interaction, which renders it refractory to competitive disruption by RIPPOs that do not interact with PPP1R2. Our data demonstrate that PPP1R2 modulates the function of PP1 by altering the balance between holoenzymes through stabilisation of specific subunit interactions.

Project description:We here describe a Selected Reaction Monitoring (SRM)-based approach for the discovery and validation of peptide biomarkers for cancer. The first stage of this approach is the direct identification of candidate peptides through comparison of proteolytic peptides derived from the plasma of cancer patients or healthy individuals. Several hundred candidate peptides were identified through this method, providing challenges for choosing and validating the small number of peptides that might prove diagnostically useful. To accomplish this validation, we used two-dimensional chromatography coupled with Selected Reaction Monitoring of candidate peptides. We applied this approach, called SAFE-SRM (for Sequential Analysis of Fractionated Eluates by Selected Reaction Monitoring) to plasma from cancer patients and discovered two peptides encoded by the PPIA (peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase A) gene whose abundance was increased in the plasma of ovarian cancer patients. At optimal thresholds, elevated levels of at least one of these two peptides was detected in 43 (68.3%) of 63 women with ovarian cancer but in none of 50 healthy controls. In addition to providing a potentially new biomarker for ovarian cancer, this approach is generally applicable to the discovery of proteins and peptides characteristic of various disease states.

Project description:Eukaryotic cell proliferation requires chromosome replication and precise segregation to ensure daughter cells have identical genomic copies. The genus Plasmodium, the causative agent of malaria, has developed remarkable characteristic of nuclear division throughout its lifecycle to meet some peculiar and unique challenges of DNA replication and chromosome segregation. The parasite undergoes atypical endomitosis and endoreduplication with an intact nuclear membrane and intranuclear mitotic spindle. To understand diverse modes of cell division in Plasmodium we have studied the behaviour and composition of a key part of the mitotic apparatus, the outer kinetochore Ndc80 complex that attaches the centromere of chromosomes to the microtubules of the mitotic spindle. Using Ndc80 live-cell imaging in Plasmodium berghei we observe dynamic changes throughout proliferative life-stages including highly unusual kinetochore arrangements in sexual stages of the parasite. Furthermore, we identify a divergent Spc24 component of Ndc80 complex, previously thought to be missing, and completing a canonical, albeit unusual, Ndc80 complex structure. Altogether our studies reveal the kinetochore as an ideal starting point towards understanding non-canonical modes of chromosome segregation and cell division in Plasmodium.

Project description:The gain-of-function MUC5B promoter varaint is the dominant risk for IPF development. Herein, we performed laser capture microdissection coupled mass spectrometry to isolate the characteristic histopathological lesions of IPF, the normal-appearing alveoli/small airways, and epithelium overlying fibroblastic foci. The captured samples were subject to mass spectrometry.

Project description:The Snf1 kinase plays a critical role in recalibrating cellular metabolism in response to glucose depletion. Hundreds of genes show changes in expression levels when the SNF1 gene is deleted. However, cells can adapt to the absence of a specific gene when grown in long term culture. Here we apply a chemical genetic method to rapidly and selectively inactivate a modified Snf1 kinase using a pyrazolopyrimidine inhibitor. By allowing cells to adjust to a change in carbon source prior to inhibition of the Snf1 kinase activity, we identified a set of genes whose expression increased when Snf1 was inhibited. Prominent in this set are genes that are activated by Gcn4, a transcriptional activator of amino acid biosynthetic genes. Deletion of Snf1 increased Gcn4 protein levels without affecting its mRNA levels. The increased Gcn4 protein levels required the Gcn2 kinase and Gcn20, regulators of GCN4 translation. These data indicate that Snf1 functions upstream of Gcn20 to regulate control of GCN4 translation. Experiment Overall Design: Strains growing in raffinose medium and expressing Snf1 and Snf1-I132G proteins were treated with a pyrazolopyrimidine inhibitor (2NM-PP1) to specifically inhibit Snf1-I132G kinase activity. RNA combined from three individual transformants were processed in duplicate for each strain, for a total analysis of four Affymetrix Yeast Genome S98 arrays.
