Novel integrated computational AMP discovery approaches highlight diversity in the helminth AMP repertoire

ABSTRACT: Invertebrate antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) form the first line of defence against pathogenic microbes. Understanding AMP profiles in helminths, their importance to helminth biology, and how they shape microbial communities could reveal novel approaches for anthelmintic and/or antimicrobial development. In this study, we employed a LC-MS/MS peptidomics pipeline to validate a novel integrated homology- and computational-based pipeline for the discovery of helminth AMPs. Our peptidomics pipeline found 60 high-confidence PSMs correlating to 15 high-confidence novel AMP-LPs within Ascaris suum body-cavity fluid supporting the need for further characterisation of these peptides and their functions within helminths.

Circadian cycling of genome-wide histone methylation

Project description:Daily (circadian) clocks are essential for regulating and coordinating physiology in mammals. Modulation of local chromatin structure has been shown for only a small number of genes, principally thought to be directly modulated by Clock-mediated histone acetylation. Here we show that genome-wide changes of active and suppressive histone marks control global chromatin architecture over the day and night. Examination of mouse liver tissue at 4 time-points around the clock in "free-running", continuous conditions (constant darkness, temperature and food available ad libitum).

Global view of the RAF-MEK-ERK module and its immediate downstream effectors

Project description:Small molecule inhibitors of BRAF and MEK have proven effective at inhibiting tumor growth in melanoma patients, however this efficacy is limited due to the almost universal development of drug resistance. To provide advanced insight into the signaling responses that occur following kinase inhibition we have performed quantitative (phospho)-proteomics of human melanoma cells treated with either Dabrafenib, a BRAF inhibitor; Trametinib, a MEK inhibitor or SCH772984, an ERK inhibitor. Over nine experiments we identified 7827 class I phosphosites on 4960 proteins. This included 54 phosphorylation sites that were significantly down-modulated after exposure to all three inhibitors, 34 of which have not been previously reported. Functional analysis of these novel ERK targets identified roles for them in GTPase activity and regulation, apoptosis and cell-cell adhesion. Comparison of the results presented here with previously reported phosphorylation sites downstream of ERK showed a limited degree of overlap suggesting that ERK signaling responses may be highly cell line and cue specific. In addition we identified 26 phosphorylation sites that were only responsive to Dabrafenib. We provide further orthogonal experimental evidence for 3 of these sites in human embryonic kidney cells over-expressing BRAF as well as further computational insights using KinomeXplorer. The validated phosphorylation sites were found to be involved in actin regulation, which has been proposed as a novel mechanism for inhibiting resistance development. These results would suggest that the linearity of the BRAF-MEK-ERK pathway is at least context dependent.

Global profiling and inhibition of protein lipidation in vector and host stages of the sleeping sickness parasite Trypanosoma brucei via chemical proteomics

Project description:The enzyme N-myristoyltransferase (NMT) catalyses the essential fatty acylation of substrate proteins with myristic acid in eukaryotes and is a validated drug target in the parasite Trypanosoma brucei, the causative agent of African trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness). N-Myristoylation typically mediates membrane localisation of proteins and is essential to the function of many. However, only a handful of proteins are experimentally validated as N-myristoylated in T. brucei. Here, we perform metabolic labelling with an alkyne-tagged myristic acid analogue (“YnMyr”), enabling the capture of lipidated proteins in insect (PCF) and host (BSF) life stages of T. brucei. We further compare this with a longer chain palmitate analogue (“YnPal”) to explore the chain length-specific incorporation of fatty acids into proteins. Finally, we combine the alkynyl-myristate analogue with NMT inhibitors (Cpds 1 and 2) and quantitative chemical proteomics to globally define N-myristoylated proteins in the clinically relevant bloodstream form parasites.

Expression Profiling by array of Long Noncoding RNAs in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells from Multiple Sclerosis Patients

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a key role in regulating immunological functions. Their impact on the chronic inflammatory disease multiple sclerosis (MS), however, remains unknown. We investigated the expression of lncRNAs in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients with MS and try to explain their possible role in the process of MS. we recruited 26 MS patients according to the revised McDonald Criteria. Then we chosen 6 patients for microarray analysis randomly. Microarray assays identified outstanding differences in lncRNA expression, which were verified through real-time PCR. LncRNA functions were annotated for target genes using Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses, and regulatory relationships between lncRNAs and target genes were analyzed using the “cis” and “trans” model.

Transcriptional profiling of tfap2a;tfap2c loss of function in zebrafish single whole embryos at 15 somites post fertilisation

Project description:We have genetically ablated the neural crest by simultaneously knocking out tfap2a and tfap2c in developing zebrafish embryos. We have collected 10 single embryos at the 15 somites stage from all nine possible genotypic combinations which can be found when heterozygous parent carriers of tfap2a and tfap2c are crossed. Embryos were prepped in singular, barcoded and RNA-Seq libraries were created using True-Seq stranded RNA-Seq LT kit. Libraries were paired end sequenced at 75bp on an Illumina Hi-Seq 2500.

A toolbox for systematic discovery of stable and transient protein interactors in baker’s yeast

Project description:Identification of both stable and transient interactions is essential for understanding protein function and regulation. While assessing stable interactions is more straightforward, capturing transient ones is challenging. In recent years, sophisticated tools have emerged to improve transient interactor discovery, with many harnessing the power of evolved biotin ligases for proximity labelling. However, biotinylation-based methods have lagged behind in the model eukaryote, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, possibly due to the presence of several abundant, endogenously biotinylated proteins. In this study, we optimised robust biotin-ligation methodologies in yeast and increased their sensitivity by creating a bespoke technique for downregulating endogenous biotinylation which we term ABOLISH (Auxin-induced BiOtin LIgase diminiSHing). We used the endoplasmic reticulum insertase complex (EMC) to demonstrate our approaches and uncover new substrates. To make these tools available for systematic probing of both stable and transient interactions, we generated five full-genome collections of strains in which every yeast protein is tagged with each of the tested biotinylation machineries; some on the background of the ABOLISH system. This comprehensive toolkit enables functional interactomics of the entire yeast proteome.
