Project description:To investigate the structure of the bodywall muscle differentiation network, we sought to both identify what role HLH-1 binding has in this regulation. We mapped the relationship between the regulatory targets and HLH-1 binding, as measured by ChIP-seq in animals enriched for bodywall muscle tissue through RNAi feeding. While regulatory targets are enriched for HLH-1 binding, the majority of HLH-1 binding actually occurs away from genes that are affected by hlh-1 loss of function. Nevertheless, HLH-1 binding is associated with both the expected E-box and, near genes belonging to specific regulatory subgroups, novel motifs that may serve as binding sites for cooperative transcription factors.

Project description:To investigate the structure of the bodywall muscle differentiation network, we sought to both identify what these transcription factors regulate in bodywall muscle. Through loss of function analysis, we identified genome-wide regulatory targets of hlh-1 and unc-120 using RNA-seq. 1445 targets of hlh-1 and 3674 targets of unc-120 were identified, with 760 of these genes being targets of both. Crosstalk was identified between the networks of hlh-1 and hlh-8, which is involved in non-bodywall muscle development. In the process, we quantified bodywall muscle RNA. Our data suggest that shared target genes and overlapping regulation buffer the hlh-1 and unc-120 mutant phenotypes. RNA expression genome-wide in the early embryo

Project description:In chickens, embryonic development begins upon egg formation and lasts for 21 days of incubation until hatching. The CAM is an extraembryonic membrane that serves a critical role in acid-base balance, gaseous exchange, calcium solubilization, and antimicrobial protection. Comparative proteomic analyses of CAM at two developmental stages (ED12 and ED19), in comparison to the proteome of embryonic blood serum, revealed protein groups that are relatively or highly specific to the CAM. The specific CAM functions include gaseous exchange, Ca2+ transport, vasculature development, and protection against pathogen invasion. Overall, our results highlight the structure-function relationship of the CAM protein constituents that potentially could expand its biomedical applications.

Project description:The two non-visual arrestin isoforms, arrestin2 and arrestin3, recognize and bind hundreds of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) with different phosphorylation patterns leading to distinct functional outcomes. Whereas the impact of phosphorylation of the vasopressin 2 receptor and rhodopsin on arrestin interactions has been well studied, much less known for other GPCRs. Here we have characterized the interaction between the phosphorylated CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) and arrestin2. Mass spectrometry and biochemical revealed several new CCR5 phosphorylation sites, which proved essential for the formation of stable complexes with arrestin2. Crystal structures of arrestin2 in apo form and in complexes with two CCR5 C-terminal phosphopeptides revealed three key CCR5 phosphoresidues in a pXpp motif that form extensive interactions with arrestin2 and lead to activation. The same phosphoresidue-cluster is present in other receptors which form stable complexes with arrestin2. The contributions of each CCR5 phosphoresidue on arrestin2 conformation and binding have been characterized by a combination of NMR spectroscopy, biochemical and functional assays. We propose that the identified pXpp motif is responsible for robust arrestin2 recruitment in many GPCRs. Moreover, an analysis of available sequence, structural and functional information on other GPCR arrestin interactions suggests a particular spatial arrangement of phosphoresidues within the GPCR intracellular loops and C-terminal tail determines arrestin2 and 3 isoform specificity.

Project description:Chemical signals are produced by aquatic organisms following predatory attacks or perturbations such as parasitic infection. Ectoparasites feeding on host fish are likely to cause release of similar alarm cues into the environment due to the stress, wounding and immune response stimulated upon infection. Alarm cues are often released in the form of proteins and peptides and provide important insights into bodily function and infection status. Here we outline a non-invasive method to identify potential chemical cues associated with infection in fish by extracting, purifying and characterizing proteins from water samples from cultured fish. Gel free proteomic methods were deemed the most suitable for protein detection in saline water samples. It was confirmed that proteins could be characterized from teleost water samples and that variation in protein profiles could be detected between infected and uninfected individuals and fish and parasite only water samples. Our novel assay provides a non-invasive method for assessing the health condition of both wild and farmed aquatic organisms. Similar to environmental DNA monitoring methods, these proteomic techniques could provide an important tool in applied biology and aquaculture biology

Project description:Gonadal soma-derived factor (gsdf) has been demonstrated as essential for testicular differentiation in medaka (Oryzias latipes). To understand the protein dynamics of Gsdf in spermatogenesis regulation, we used a His-tag “pull-down” assay coupled with shotgun LC-MS/MS to identify a group of potential interaction partners for Gsdf, which included cytoplasmic dynein light chain 2, eukaryotic polypeptide elongation factor 1 alpha (eEF1), and actin filaments in mature medaka testis. Alike the interaction with TGF-dynein critical for spermatogonial division in Drosophila melanogaster, the physical interaction of Gsdf & dynein and Gsdf & eEF1 were identified through a yeast 2-hybrid (Y2H) screening of an adult testis cDNA library using Gsdf as bait, and were verified by a paired Y2H assay. Co-immunoprecipitation of Gsdf and eEF1was defined in adult testes, as supporting the requirement of Gsdf and eEF1 interaction in testis development. Proteomics analysis and ultrastrutural observation showed that Gsdf deficiency activated eEF1-mediated protein synthesis and ribosome biogenesis, which in turn led to the differentiation of undifferentiated germ cell. Thus, our results provide a framework and new insight into the coordination of Gsdf (TGF and eEF1complex in the basic processes of germ cell proliferation, and transcriptional and translational control of sexual RNA, which may be fundamentally conserved across phyla during sex differentiation.

Project description:The Caenorhabditis elegans oxidative stress response transcription factor, SKN-1, is essential for the maintenance of redox homeostasis and is a functional ortholog of the Nrf family of transcription factors. The numerous levels of regulation that govern these transcription factors underscore their importance. Here, we add a thioredoxin, encoded by trx-1, to the expansive list of SKN-1 regulators. We report that loss of trx-1 promotes nuclear localization of intestinal SKN-1 in a redox-independent, cell non-autonomous fashion from the ASJ neurons. Furthermore, this regulation is not general to the thioredoxin family, as two other C. elegans thioredoxins TRX-2 and TRX-3 do not play a role in this process. Moreover, TRX-1-dependent regulation requires signaling from the p38 MAPK signaling pathway. However, while TRX-1 regulates SKN-1 nuclear localization, SKN-1 transcriptional activity remains largely unaffected. Interestingly, RNA-Seq revealed that loss of trx-1 elicits a general, organism-wide down-regulation of several classes of genes; those encoding for collagens and lipid transport and localization being most prevalent. However, one prominent lipase-related gene, lips-6, is highly up regulated upon loss of trx-1 in a skn-1-dependent manner. Together, these results uncover a novel role for a thioredoxin in regulating intestinal SKN-1 nuclear localization in a cell non-autonomous manner, thereby contributing to the understanding of the processes involved in maintaining redox homeostasis throughout an organism. Four samples were analyzed: Two nematode strains were analyzed, each under non-stressed and stressed (10mM NaAs) conditions

Project description:In Caenorhabditis elegans, the six proteins that make up the REF-1 family are HES homologs that act in both Notch dependent and Notch-independent pathways to regulate embryonic events. To further our understanding of how the REF-1 family works to coordinate post-embryonic cellular events, we performed transcriptome analysis of HLH-25 and HLH-29 mutant strains. Gene expression microarray, including probe preparation, hybridization, fluidics run and chip scan, was performed by Georgia State University DNA/Protein Core Facility. Global gene expression in synchronized young adult populations of VC1220 (hlh-25 mutant) and tm284 (hlh-29 mutant) animals were compared to expression in N2 (wild-type) animals using GeneChip C. elegans Genome Array (Affymetrix). Data collection was carried out using GCOS 1.4 software (Affymetrix). Probe intensity values were normalized to a target value of 500 with normalization factor equal to 1. Data analysis was performed using GeneSpring GX 11 Software (Aglient, Palo Alto,CA).

Project description:In an endotoxaemic mouse model of sepsis, a tissue-based proteomics approach for biomarker discovery identified long pentraxin 3 (PTX3) as the lead candidate for inflamed myocardium. PTX3 accumulated as an octamer due to disulphide-bond formation in heart, kidney and lung ?common organ dysfunctions seen in patients with sepsis. Oligomeric moieties of PTX3 were also detectable in the circulation. The redox-state of PTX3 was quantified over the first 11 days in critically ill adult patients with sepsis. On admission day, there was no difference in the redox-state of PTX3 between survivors and non-survivors. From day 2 onwards, the conversion of octameric to monomeric PTX3 was consistently associated with a greater survival after 28 days of follow-up. For example, by day 2 post admission, octameric PTX3 was undetectable in survivors, but still constituted more than half of total PTX3 in non-survivors (P<0.001). Monomeric PTX3 was inversely associated with cardiac damage markers NT-proBNP, high sensitivity troponin I and T. In comparison to the conventional measurements of total PTX3 or NT-proBNP, the redox-sensitive oligomerization of PTX3 was more dynamic and a superior predictor of disease outcome.
