Natural selection can drive organisms to strikingly similar adaptive solutions, but the underlying molecular mechanisms often remain unknown. Several amphibians have independently evolved highly adhesive skin secretions (glues) that support a highly effective antipredator defence mechanism. Here we demonstrate that the glue of the Madagascan tomato frog, Dyscophus guineti, relies on two interacting proteins: a highly derived member of a widespread glycoprotein family and a galectin.

CUT&RUN experiment at four time points in HEK293T and hESC cells, assessing the time-resolved response of β-catenin genomic occupancy upon Wnt signaling activation

Project description:Wnt/β-catenin signaling is a highly organized biochemical cascade that triggers a gene expression program in the signal-receiving cell. The Wnt/β-catenin-driven transcriptional response is involved in virtually all cellular processes during development, homeostasis, and its deregulation causes human disease. However, outstanding questions remain unanswered. A first question concerns cell-specificity: how this response is integrated into lineage-specific choices is still unknown. A second question concerns time: it is not known whether β-catenin associates with its targets simultaneously or in a time-dependent fashion. For instance, while TCF/LEF and other components of the Wnt transcriptional complex are constitutively associated with the chromatin, it is β-catenin arrival, upon Wnt induction, that launches target genes transcription. Therefore, discovering the dynamics of the genome-wide β-catenin binding pattern is required to unambiguously define the direct targets of Wnt signaling To address these questions, we realized a time-resolved atlas of β-catenin genome-wide occupancy in two human cell types, human embryonic kidney cells 293T (HEK293T) and human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). To this end, we treated HEK293T and hESCs with the GSK3 inhibitor/Wnt activator CHIR99021 (10 mM) for 3 days, and assessed β-catenin binding via CUT&RUN-LoV-U (Zambanini et al., 2022) 90 minutes, 4 hours, 24 hours and 3 days after the onset of the stimulation. This approach allowed us to establish that β-catenin repositions to different genomic loci along stimulation time, showing that a definition of Wnt target genes must take into account the time-dimension. Moreover, β-catenin physical targets are largely cell-type specific, as only a subset of them is present across the examined contexts.

Palmyrene Polychromy: Investigations of funerary portraits from Palmyra in the collections of the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek

Project description:Two samples from the Beauty of Palmyra (IN 2795 – Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen, Denmark) were collected from the surface coating, and partially the paint layer, in locations corresponding to paint residues from respectively the yellow paint (containing lead-based yellow pigment) and the red paint (containing haematite as pigment) of the headdress of the figure. The two samples were analysed using a palaeoproteomic protocol to investigate the use of a proteinaceous paint binder and/or the presence of other proteinaceous materials. The analysis led to the confident identification of collagen, probably indicating the use of animal glue as paint binder of the sample removed from red paint residues. Various animal keratins were also confidently identified in both samples. The presence of these proteins might be related to the manufacture of organic pigments, but also possibly to the use of a keratin-based glue as paint binder or surface coating, or even to the use of a paintbrush made with animal bristles.

Polymorphism in estrogen receptor binding site causes CD2-dependent sex bias in T cell autoimmune diseases

Project description:Complex autoimmune diseases are sexually dimorphic. An interplay between predisposing genetics and sex-related factors likely determines the sex discrepancy in the immune response, but conclusive evidence regarding the underlying molecular mechanisms is lacking. Using forward genetics, we positionally identified a polymorphic estrogen receptor binding site that regulates CD2 expression, leading to female-specific differences in mouse models of T cell-dependent autoimmunity. Female mice with reduced CD2 levels displayed a diminished T cell activation and autoimmune T cell response. Mechanistically, CD2 affected LAG-3 expression. Our findings help to explain the sexual dimorphism in human autoimmunity, as CD2 associated with rheumatoid arthritis and its regulation through 17-β-estradiol was conserved in human T cells. Hormonal regulation of CD2 has implications for CD2-targeted therapy. Indeed, anti-CD2 treatment more potently affected female mice. In conclusion, our results demonstrate the relevance of sex-genotype interactions and deliver strong evidence for CD2 as a sex-sensitive predisposing factor in autoimmunity.

Polymorphisms of the vitamin D receptor regulate T cells and T cell dependent inflammatory diseases

Project description:Complex autoimmune diseases have proven difficult to dissect down to their causative genetic mechanisms. As a result, epidemiological data from different human association studies are often merged to arrive at a working hypothesis. In one of such examples, lack of sun exposure and consequent lower serum vitamin D3 levels has been proposed to increase risk of autoimmunity, attributing vitamin D3 an immune regulatory role. However, conclusive evidence demonstrating its efficacy in treating autoimmune diseases is missing. In this study, we have used a forward genetics approach to positionally identify polymorphic nucleotides controlling T cell-dependent inflammatory diseases using congenic mouse strains. Here, we identify the vitamin D3 receptor (Vdr) as a driver of inflammation. Congenic mice carrying a polymorphic Vdr allele overexpressed the receptor selectively in activated T cells, thereby escaping systemic calcaemic side effects that often constitute a confounding factor in the study of immunomodulation by vitamin D3. Mice overexpressing Vdr in T cells developed more severe collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) and exhibited an enhanced antigen-specific CD4+ T cell response. Deficiency of vitamin D3 completely protected mice from CIA by limiting the activation of antigen-specific T cell responses, and arthritis susceptibility was restored by re-administration of vitamin D3. We demonstrate that vitamin D3 signalling specifically through Vdr predominantly acts to enhance T cell proliferation, thereby contributing to inflammation. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that genetically determined expression of VDR codetermines the pro-inflammatory behaviour of activated T cells. Furthermore, our data suggest that the anti-inflammatory properties of vitamin D3 might be limited by high expression of VDR at the site of inflammation.

Protein composition of cobweb spiders gumfoot glue droplets

Project description:Orb weavers place aggregate glue on a stretchy capture spiral, whereas cobweb weavers add it to the ends of strong, stiff fibers, called gumfoot lines. We describe the quantitative proteomics of the aggregate glues of two cobweb weaving species, the Western black widow, Latrodectus hesperus, and the common house spider, Parasteatoda tepidariorum. For each species respectively, we identified 48 and 33 proteins that were significantly more abundant in the portion of the gumfoot line with glue than in its fibers. These proteins were highly enriched for glycosylation and phosphorylation relative to proteins found in silk fibers. Most enriched proteins were of anterior aggregate gland origin, supporting the hypothesis that cobweb weavers’ posterior aggregate glue is specialized for another function..

Molecular characterization of adhesives (glue lining pastes) used in restoration

Project description:The molecular characterization of samples from works of art can provide valuable insights into the composition of ancient restoration materials and their conservation state. Here, we present a novel experimental protocol for the molecular characterization of a specific adhesive used in historical painting restoration, known as "glue lining pastes." Due to the high molecular complexity of these adhesives, we propose a multi-step extraction protocol to simultaneously recover and fractionate from a single microsample the three main classes of biomolecules contained in glue pastes (lipids, polysaccharides, and proteins). High-performance separation coupled with high-resolution MS techniques were applied to the isolated fractions to identify specific components. The proposed method was optimized using test specimens of various traditional glue pastes applied to canvases and successfully applied to a historical glue paste sample from the 17th-century painting "La fuga in Egitto," part of the Pagliara collection at the University Suor Orsola Benincasa (Naples, Italy). The data collected in this work provide insights into the specific recipe used for adhesive preparation, supporting artistic and historical interpretations, and contributing to a broader understanding of old restoration practices.

The CDK12-inhibitor CR8 mediates Cyclin K degradation through the CUL4-RBX1-DDB1 E3 ubiquitin ligase

Project description:Small molecules have been identified that induce protein-protein interactions between a substrate and a ubiquitin ligase, resulting in targeted protein degradation. Such molecular glue compounds, unlike traditional enzyme inhibitors, act sub-stoichiometrically to catalyse rapid depletion of previously inaccessible targets. Molecular glue degraders have the potential for clinical efficacy, but have thus far only been discovered serendipitously. Through correlations between compound cytotoxicity and E3 ligase expression levels, we found that CR8, a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor, acts as a molecular glue degrader. A surface-exposed pyridyl moiety of CR8 is sufficient to induce complex formation between CDK12-Cyclin K and DDB1, a component of CUL4 E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes, which presents Cyclin K for ubiquitination and degradation. Our results reveal that minor surface-exposed modifications confer gain-of-function glue properties to an inhibitor. We hypothesize that chemical alteration of surface-exposed moieties is a broad strategy to turn a target binder into a molecular glue.
