Identification of defective proteins trapped by TanGIBLE
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: To identify an uncharacterized endogenous defective protein pool, we immunoprecipitated Flag-tagged TanGIBLE from HeLa cell extracts, and co-immunoprecipitated proteins werer subjected to LC-MS/MS analysis.
Project description:To obtain new insight into the sexual dimorphism of mammalian livers, single-nucleus RNA-seq was performed on the liver samples from two female and two male adult mice. The single-nucleus libraries were generated on the 10X Chromium Next GEM Single Cell 3ʹ platform and sequenced on Illumina NextSeq 550. We used the data to understand the heterogeneity and sex-biased gene expression of liver cell types. The data revealed significant sex differences primarily focused on hepatocytes. Specifically, from the sex-biased genes detected at the bulk tissue level, we observed that male-biased genes are more highly expressed in male hepatocytes, and female-biased genes are more highly expressed in female hepatocytes.
Project description:To determine the direct promoter targets of Fnr proteins, we correlated transcriptional changes observed in single fnr1 and fnr3 mutants (E-MTAB-5741) with ChIP-Seq analysis, taking advantage of C-terminally 3xFlag fnr alleles engineered into the H. seropedicae genome. ChIP-seq data were obtained from cultures grown under limited oxygen availability. Using this approach, DNA-binding targets for the H. seropedicae Fnr1 and Fnr3 proteins were unambiguously revealed and correlated with transcript profiles to determine the specific regulons of each protein.
Project description:Species determination based on genetic evidence is an indispensable tool in archaeology, forensics, ecology, and food authentication. Most available analytical approaches involve compromises with regard to the number of detectable species, high cost due to low throughput, or a labor-intensive manual process. Here, we introduce “Species by Proteome INvestigation” (SPIN), a shotgun proteomics workflow capable of querying over 150 mammalian species by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Rapid peptide chromatography and data-independent acquisition (DIA) with throughput of 200 samples per day reduce expensive MS time, whereas streamlined sample preparation and automated data interpretation save labor costs. We confirmed the successful classification of known reference bones, including domestic species and great apes, beyond the taxonomic resolution of the conventional peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF)-based Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS) method. In a blinded study of degraded Iron-Age material from Scandinavia, SPIN produced reproducible results between replicates, which were consistent with morphological analysis. Finally, we demonstrated the high throughput capabilities of the method in a high-degradation context by analyzing more than two hundred Middle and Upper Palaeolithic bones from Southern European sites with late Neanderthal occupation. While this initial study was focused on modern and archaeological mammalian bone, SPIN will be open and expandable to other biological tissues and taxa.
Project description:In skeletal myogenesis, the transcription factor MyoD activates distinct transcriptional programs in progenitors compared to terminally differentiated cells. Using ChIP-seq and gene expression analyses, we show that in primary myoblasts, Snail-HDAC1/2 repressive complex bind and exclude MyoD from its targets. Notably, Snail binds E-box motifs that are G/C-rich in their central dinucleotides, and such sites are almost exclusively associated with genes expressed during differentiation. By contrast, Snail does not bind the A/T-rich E-boxes associated with MyoD targets in myoblasts. Thus, Snai1-HDAC1/2 prevents MyoD occupancy on differentiation-specific regulatory elements and the change from Snail- to MyoD-binding often results in enhancer switching during differentiation. Furthermore, we show that a regulatory network involving Myogenic Regulatory Factors (MRFs), Snail/2, miR-30a and miR-206 acts as a molecular switch that controls entry into myogenic differentiation. Together, these results reveal a regulatory paradigm that directs distinct gene expression programs in progenitors versus terminally differentiated cells.

Project description:The DNA exonuclease TREX1 degrades endogenous cytosolic DNA. Cytosolic DNA triggers the cGAS/STING pathway which increases type I interferon. To investigate the physiological significance of TREX1 loss on in vivo tumor growth, we implanted control and TREX1-deficient CT26 tumor cells into immunocompetent BALB/c hosts.Tumor cells were collected 7 days after tumors reached around 200mm3.

Project description:We aimed to determine the binding sites of the putative transcriptional regulator PafBC under DNA damage stress induced by mitomycin C or under oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide. Therefore, we chose a ChIP-seq approach, crosslinking cells before PafBC-DNA complexes were immunoprecipitated with a PafBC-specific antibody.
Project description:The aim of the study was to identify RFX1 and RFX2 binding sites in mouse pancreatic beta cells. Chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments were performed with the mouse MIN6 beta cell line and antibodies raised against RFX1 and RFX3. Immunoprecipitated DNA was sequenced using the Genome Analyzer II (Illumina). Antibodies were described in Reith W, Ucla C, Barras E, Gaud A, Durand B, Herrero-Sanchez C, Kobr M, Mach B : RFX1, a transactivator of hepatitis B virus enhancer I, belongs to a novel family of homodimeric and heterodimeric DNA-binding proteins.
