Project description:We combined multi-omics approaches including de novo transcriptome assembly, ribosome profiling and MS-based peptidomics to study the global role of mRNA translation and small ORFs (sORFs) in rice herbicide resistant mutant.
Project description:Cell cycle and metabolism are two major outputs controlled by circadian rhythm in many organisms. Here we show that the three processes were linked through inosine 5'-phosphate dehydrogenase (impdh), a rate-limiting enzyme in de novo purine synthesis. We using adult zebrafish as a model system,we applied a genome-wide transcriptome approach that allowed us to investigate circadian gene expression. The whole-genome transcriptome profiles of adult brain in time-series were assayed on Agilent zebrafish microarrays. We used a similar statistical method to identify zebrafish circadian genes (ZCOG) as our previous study in larval zebrafish. Three isoforms of impdh show strong circadian oscillations in different tissues of zebrafish. impdh1a contributes to the ocular development and pigment synthesis, impdh2 promotes and impdh1b delays the development. By limiting the GTP required by DNA synthesis, impdh2 contributes to the daily rhythm of S phase in cell cycle. Multiple enzymes in the de novo purine synthesis pathway show the same circadian oscillations with peaks similar to impdh2. The circadian expression of this pathway is conserved in mouse liver. In summary, we show that the circadian regulation of de novo purine synthesis that supplies crucial building blocks for DNA replication is critical for gating cell cycle in circadian rhythm. Adult zebrafish were sacrificed and dissected at 4h intervals starting at CT0 in both LD and DD conditions for 12 time points. Total RNA of individual zebrafish brain was extracted using Trizol (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys instruction. Microarrays were manufactured by Agilent Technologies (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA), containing 43,603 probes for zebrafish whole-genome transcriptional profiling.

Project description:De novo assembly of immature gonadal transcriptome was performed to identify genes involved in gonadal development. A total of 81,757 and 43,257 transcripts were obtained from the immature testicular and ovarian transcriptomes, respectively. About 84,367 unigenes were constructed after removing redundancy which were a representation of both the gonadal transcriptomes. About 298 differentially expressed genes were identified. The present study identified certain important genes/factors involved in the gonadal development of C. carpio which may provide insights into the understanding of sex differentiation and gonadal development processes.
Project description:Main purpose of the project is to delineate the consequences of de novo variants identified in patients manifesting intellectual disability-craniodigital syndrome. To this end, we investigated the effects of mutated CK2β by performing phosphor proteome profiling of patient derived LCLs along with the age and gender matched control.
