Traditional biochemical interactions of a particular subunit within its chromatin context. analysis of chromatin-associated complexes requires their release However, a biochemical approach typically requires the release of from DNA under conditions that can also disrupt key interactions. the complex from the DNA to solubilize it, and such parameters Here we develop a complementary approach (BioTAP-XL), in which (salt and/or detergent) might simultaneously compromise complex cross-linking (XL) enhances the preservation of protein interactions integrity. Furthermore, each chromatin complex requires specific and also allows the analysis of DNA targets under the same tandem conditions for release from the DNA, and it is hard to predict this affinity purification (BioTAP) regimen. We demonstrate the power property in advance. Given these considerations, we reasoned that establishing of BioTAP-XL through analysis of human EZH2, a core subunit of cross-links before the first step of affinity purification might polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2).

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.

  • A Flexible Microfluidic System for Single-Cell Transcriptome Profiling
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A fexible microfuidic system for single‑cell transcriptome profling elucidates phased transcriptional regulators of cell cycle Karen Davey1,7, Daniel Wong2,7, Filip Konopacki2, Eugene Kwa1, Tony Ly3, Heike Fiegler2 & Christopher R. Sibley 1,4,5,6* Single cell transcriptome profling has emerged as a breakthrough technology for the high‑resolution understanding of complex cellular systems. Here we report a fexible, cost‑efective and user‑ friendly droplet‑based microfuidics system, called the Nadia Instrument, that can allow 3′ mRNA capture of ~ 50,000 single cells or individual nuclei in a single run. The precise pressure‑based system demonstrates highly reproducible droplet size, low doublet rates and high mRNA capture efciencies that compare favorably in the feld. Moreover, when combined with the Nadia Innovate, the system can be transformed into an adaptable setup that enables use of diferent bufers and barcoded bead confgurations to facilitate diverse applications. Finally, by 3′ mRNA profling asynchronous human and mouse cells at diferent phases of the cell cycle, we demonstrate the system’s ability to readily distinguish distinct cell populations and infer underlying transcriptional regulatory networks. Notably this provided supportive evidence for multiple transcription factors that had little or no known link to the cell cycle (e.g. DRAP1, ZKSCAN1 and CEBPZ). In summary, the Nadia platform represents a promising and fexible technology for future transcriptomic studies, and other related applications, at cell resolution. Single cell transcriptome profling has recently emerged as a breakthrough technology for understanding how cellular heterogeneity contributes to complex biological systems. Indeed, cultured cells, microorganisms, biopsies, blood and other tissues can be rapidly profled for quantifcation of gene expression at cell resolution.

Giasson1,2,3,4* Abstract Tauopathies are a group of neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease, defined by the presence of brain pathological inclusions comprised of abnormally aggregated and highly phosphorylated tau protein. The abundance of brain tau aggregates correlates with disease severity and select phospho-tau epitopes increase at early stages of disease. We generated and characterized a series of novel monoclonal antibodies directed to tau phosphorylated at several of these phospho-epitopes, including Ser396/Ser404, Ser404 and Thr205. We also generated phosphorylation independent antibodies against amino acid residues 193–211. We show that most of these antibodies are highly specific for tau and strongly recognize pathological inclusions in human brains and in a transgenic mouse model of tauopathy. They also reveal epitope-specific differences in the biochemical properties of Alzheimer’s disease sarkosyl-insoluble tau. These new reagents will be useful for investigating the progression of tau pathology and further as tools to target the cellular transmission of tau pathology. Keywords: Alzheimer’s disease, Antibodies, Phosphorylation, Tau, Transgenic mice Introduction The abundance of tau inclusions in the brain correlates well Tau refers to the microtubule-associated protein [10, 47] with disease severity [2].

BACKGROUND Introduction EZH2 was initially identified as a homolog of the drosophila Enhancer of Zeste through exon trap screening of chromosome 21. Both EZH2 and the related protein EZH1 can form complexes with the noncanonical Polycomb repressive complex-2 (PRC2) and maintain repressive chromatin, 45-1 Ramsey Road, Shirley, NY 11967, USA Email: [email protected] Tel: 1-631-624-4882 Fax: 1-631-938-8221 1 © Creative Diagnostics All Rights Reserved but the PRC2-EZH1 complex mediates methylation of histone H3. Both EZH1 and EZH2 are thought to function in the maintenance of embryonic stem cell pluripotency and plasticity and have been shown to be essential for hair follicle homeostasis and wound repair. Overexpression of EZH2 has been reported as a marker for advanced and metastatic cancers.

  • Transcriptional Regulation by Polycomb Group Proteins
    RE V IE W Transcriptional regulation by Polycomb group proteins Luciano Di Croce1,2 & Kristian Helin3–5 Polycomb group (PcG) proteins are epigenetic regulators of transcription that have key roles in stem-cell identity, differentiation and disease. Mechanistically, they function within multiprotein complexes, called Polycomb repressive complexes (PRCs), which modify histones (and other proteins) and silence target genes. The dynamics of PRC1 and PRC2 components has been the focus of recent research. Here we discuss our current knowledge of the PRC complexes, how they are targeted to chromatin and how the high diversity of the PcG proteins allows these complexes to influence cell identity. The DNA of eukaryotic cells is organized in chromatin fibers, with PcG and TrxG appear to be required for propagation of the repressed the nucleosome forming the basic repeating unit. Each nucleo- or activated transcriptional state during the cell-division cycle4,5. some comprises 145–147 bp of DNA wrapped in 1.8 helical turns TrxG and PcG proteins are involved in maintaining cellular identity around an octamer of four highly evolutionarily conserved histone and are required for normal differentiation6,7. Moreover, in accord- proteins—H2A, H2B, H3 and H4. Histone H1 binds the linker DNA ance with the notion that cancer is a disease of stem cells and dif- between two adjacent nucleosomes, causing further compaction of ferentiation, TrxG and PcG genes are frequently found to be mutated the chromatin fibers into higher-order structures, often referred to as and/or deregulated in cancer8–10. In this Review, we will discuss recent solenoids. Analysis of the crystal structure of the nucleosome revealed advances in understanding of the role of PcG proteins in gene regula- that N-terminal histone tails are flexible and protrude outward tion, specifically in controlling self-renewal of embryonic stem cells from the nucleosome core1.
