Project description:Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is known to incorporate protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) into its tegument, suggesting a potential role in the viral life cycle. This research project aims to characterize the interactome of PP1 during HCMV infection. Our approach combines co-immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry to identify human and viral proteins that interact with PP1 during HCMV infection, thereby aiming to gain new insights into the biological rationale behind PP1's incorporation by HCMV.
Project description:All constructs were expressed in RKO cells (human rectal carcinoma cell line). A fusion construct of TurboID (mutated BirA* from E. Coli) and green fluorescent protein (GFP) or human TRIM52. Cells were stimulated with Epoxomicin (proteasome inhibitor) or left untreated. Biotinylated proteins were extracted from the cell lysate through pull-down and quantified using label-free MS to identify the proteins in close proximity to TRIM52 using GFP as a specificity control.
Project description:Identification of biotinylated proteins through pull-down. RAW264.7 cells stably expressing a Dox-inducible TurboID-TTP fusion protein were treated with LPS or Epoxomicin for 4 h, followed by 15 min of biotin labeling in the cell medium. TurboID without fusion was used as a control.
Project description:Cellular responses to signalling pathways are often highly dynamic, however most analyses of developmental signalling pathways focus on a single endpoint. We have analyzed the temporal changes in transcription following a short Notch activation treatment and related these to the recruitment of the Notch pathway transcription factor, CSL [Suppressor of Hairless, Su(H), in Drosophila], and to the state of RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) binding. A total of 154 genes showed significant differential expression over time and their expression profiles stratified into 14 clusters based on temporal and quantitative differences in their responses. These differences were partially reflected in the profiles of Pol II and Su(H) binding. However, neither could fully account for the different response profiles. Furthermore, the timing of the different responses was unaffected by more prolonged Notch activation. Instead our data suggest that regulatory relationships between genes that segregate into different response clusters can partially account for the stratification. Thus, feed-forward repression, where products of early responding Enhancer of split bHLH genes (E(spl)bHLH) inhibit expression of endogenous repressors, is one mechanism that explains the profile of genes that exhibit delayed up-regulation. E(spl)bHLH genes may therefore be responsible for co-ordinating the Notch response of a wide spectrum of other targets, explaining their critical functions in many developmental and disease contexts. DmD8 cells were collected at 7 time points (0M-bM-^@M-^Y, 10M-bM-^@M-^Y, 20M-bM-^@M-^Y, 30M-bM-^@M-^Y, 40M-bM-^@M-^Y, 60M-bM-^@M-^Y and 100M-bM-^@M-^Y) after a 5 minute Notch stimulation as 3 independent replicates. Immunoprecipitation was performed with Su(H) antibody and compared to the total input DNA. Samples from replicates #1 and #2 were labelled with Cy5, and replicate #3 was labelled with Cy3 as a dye-swap. For time point 10M-bM-^@M-^Y, only 2 biological replicates were obtained.
Project description:Goal was to identify N-recognins for Arginine and Leucine by comparison of biotinylated proteins from 1 week old whole Arabidopsis seedlings constitutively expressing the bait constructs R-degron-Turbo or L-degron-Turbo. M-degron-Turbo served as a negative control. The plants were treated with 50µM biotin and either the proteasome inhibitor Bortezomib (10µM) or the inhibitor of vacuolar acidification Concanamycin A (1µM) or DMSO one hour before harvest.
Project description:Successful immune responses are dependent on a precisely controlled balance between transcription and mRNA degradation. mRNA decay is driven through RNA-binding proteins (RBP), yet it remains unclear, how and when an individual mRNA molecule is selected for degradation. We investigated this fundamental question by using the anti-inflammatory RBP tristetraprolin (TTP, also known as Zfp36) as a model. Here, we show that TTP determines the fate of its targets concomitantly with their synthesis by binding to the pre-mRNA in the nucleus. Furthermore, we provide evidence that TTP orchestrates the target destabilization via a hierarchical molecular assembly that culminates by the association of mature mRNA with the RNA degradation machinery in the cytoplasm. The early fate decision in the life cycle of a TTP target mRNA prevents the translation of inflammatory mediators, particularly cytokine mRNAs, and promotes efficient cessation of the immune response. Importantly, the TTP homolog ZFP36L1 displays similar characteristics, suggesting a conserved mode of action within the ZFP36 family of RBPs.
Project description:Recruitment of the RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) transcription initiation apparatus to promoters by specific DNA binding transcription factors is well recognized as a key regulatory step in gene expression. We describe here evidence that promoter-proximal pausing is a general feature of transcription by Pol II in embryonic stem (ES) cells, and thus an additional step where regulation of gene expression may occur. We report here that c-Myc, which occupies a third of actively transcribed genes in ES cells and is a key regulator of cellular proliferation, binds P-TEFb and contributes to release of promoter-proximal paused Pol II at these genes. ChIP-seq data for Pol II and additional factors controlling pause release in mouse ES cells.
