Project description:To understand potential downstream signaling molecules that are responsible for wild type-Malt1 induced resistance of tumor cell to CD8 T cell killing , we first use E0771 cells expressing either -Vector control, wild type-Malt1 (M-WT), or Malt1 PD mutant (M-PD) to coculture with activated CD8 T cell at a effctor: target ratio(E:T ration) of 3 for 12 hours. Then wash the cells with PBS, digest the cells by 0.25% trypsin solution, harvest the cells in 15 ml tubes by centrifugation (1000 rpm 5min) and seed cells into the original plate with DMEM+10%FBS+1%P/S medium. 6 hours after sseding, wash cells with PBS, lyse cells with TRIZOL for RNA extraction, perform reverse transcription and cDNA library for RNA-Seq analysis.
Project description:3 µl of each human serum sample was added to 40 µl lysis buffer containing 5% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and 50 mM triethylammonium bicarbonate (TEAB), pH 8.5. Proteins were reduced by addition of 15 mM dithiothreitol and incubation for 30 minutes at 55˚C and then alkylated by addition of 30 mM iodoacetamide and incubation for 15 minutes at RT in the dark. Phosphoric acid was added to a final concentration of 1.2% and subsequently samples were diluted 7-fold with binding buffer containing 90% methanol in 100 mM TEAB, pH 7.55. The samples were loaded on the 96-well S-Trap™ plate (Protifi), placed on top of a deepwell plate, and centrifuged for 2 min at 1,500 x g at RT. After protein binding, the S-trap™ plate was washed three times by adding 200 µl binding buffer and centrifugation for 2 min at 1,500 x g at room temperature. A new deepwell receiver plate was placed below the 96-well S-Trap™ plate and 50 mM TEAB containing trypsin (1/100, w/w) was added for digestion overnight at 37°C. Using centrifugation for 2 min at 1,500 x g, peptides were eluted in three times, first with 80 µl 50 mM TEAB, then with 80 µl 0.2% formic acid (FA) in water and finally with 80 µl 0.2% FA in water/acetonitrile (ACN) (50/50, v/v). Eluted peptides were dried completely by vacuum centrifugation. Dried peptides were redissolved in 100 µl 0.1% FA, the peptide concentration was determined on a Lunatic spectrophotometer (Unchained Labs) and was adjusted to 0.015 µg/µl with 0.1% FA1. iRT peptides (Biognosys, P/N Ki-3002-1) were added to all samples according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Then, 300 ng of each sample was loaded on Evotips (Evosep, P/N EV2003) according to the manufacturer’s instructions with a substitution of the wash step after sample loading by two wash steps with 80 µl 0.1% FA. All loaded Evotips were stored in 0.1% FA at 4°C until LC-MS/MS analysis was started.
Project description:The cytoplasmic functions of Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome family (WASP) proteins are well known and include roles in cytoskeleton reorganization and membrane-cytoskeletal interactions important for membrane/vesicle trafficking, morphogenesis, immune response and signal transduction. Mis-regulation of these proteins is associated with immune deficiency and metastasis. Cytoplasmic WASP proteins act as effectors of Rho family GTPases and polymerize branched actin through the Arp2/3 complex. However, recent evidence has revealed that this classically cytoplasmic protein family also functions in the nucleus. Previously, we identified Drosophila washout (wash) as a new member of the WASP family with essential cytoplasmic roles in early development. Here we show that Wash is also present in the nucleus and plays a key role in nuclear organization via its interaction with Lamin Dm0 at the nuclear envelope. Wash and Lamin Dm0 occupy similar genomic regions that overlap with transcriptionally silent chromatin including constitutive heterochromatin. Strikingly, wash mutant and knockdown nuclei exhibit the same abnormal wrinkled morphology observed in diverse laminopathies, including the Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, and consistent with disruption of the nuclear organization of several sub-nuclear structures including cajal bodies and the chromocenter in salivary glands. We also found that Wash and Lamin knockdown disrupt chromatin accessibility of repressive compartments in agreement with an observed global redistribution of repressive histone modifications. Functional genetic approaches show wash mutants exhibit similar phenotypes to lamin Dm0 mutants, suggesting they participate in similar regulatory networks. Our results reveal a novel role for Wash in modulating nuclear organization via its interaction with the nuclear envelope protein Lamin Dm0. These findings highlight the functional complexity of WASP family proteins and provide new venues to understand their molecular roles in cell biology and disease. We evaluated the effect of Wash knockdown in S2R+ cells on chromatin accessibility using an M.SssI-based approach.

DamID chromatin profiling demostrate that Wash binds similar regions to those bound by Lamin Dm0, in particular transcriptional silent chromatin
