Lee All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Studies on the Roles of Translationally Recoded Proteins from Cyclooxygenase-1 and Nucleobindin Genes in Autophagy Jonathan J. Lee Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, BYU Doctor of Philosophy Advances in next-generation sequencing and ribosomal profiling methods highlight that the proteome is likely orders of magnitude larger than previously thought. This expansion potentially occurs through translational recoding, a process that results in the expression of multiple variations of a protein from a single messenger RNA. Our laboratory demonstrated that cyclooxygenase-3/1b (COX-3/1b), a frameshifted, intron-1-retaining, alternative splice variant from the COX-1 gene, is multiply recoded, which results in the translation of at least seven different COX-3 proteins. Two of the recoded COX-3 proteins that we identified are active prostaglandin synthases and are inhibited by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Here we show that the other non-prostaglandin-generating recoded COX-3 proteins perform new roles in innate immunity, a process in which COX are known to generally function. Our analyses determined that these recoded COX-3 proteins bind at or near the amino-terminal region of ATG9a, a critical regulator of both canonical (i.e. digestive autophagy associated with mTORc inhibition and nutrient deprivation) and non-canonical (i.e. xenophagy involved in the innate immune response to invading organisms) autophagy. We further show that this process requires mTORc signaling activity, which opposes the digestive pathway. As a final confirmation of the biological relevance of these recoded COX-3 proteins and their central role in xenophagy, we demonstrate that expression of these COX-3 proteins in an encephalomyocarditis virus infection model system differentially affects infectious virion production. These COX-3 proteins also associate with recoded cytosolic nucleobindin around large, innate immune-related, large LC3-II positive structures (LLPSs). Through mutagenizing catalytic residues of recoded COX-3 proteins and drug assays, we determine LLPS formation is dependent on oxylipin generation.

Received January 3, 2019; Accepted May 8, 2019; Epub July 15, 2019; Published July 30, 2019 Abstract: This study aimed to examine the expression of NUCB2 in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) tissues and detect its effect on the apoptosis and proliferation of RCC cells both in vivo and vitro. NUCB2 was detected with higher expres- sion in the RCC tissues compared with the adjacent noncancerous tissues by immunohistochemical analysis (P < 0.05). Moreover, the protein levels of NUCB2 was significantly associated with perinephric tissues invasion, cancer- ous thrombus and distant metastasis. NUCB2 knock-down inhibited cell proliferation by arresting the cell cycle at S phase and increased the cell apoptosis detected by CCK-8 and flow cytometry analysis. Finally, the tumor-bearing mice models were constructed through injection of 786-O cells transfected with lentivirus carrying shRNAs targeting NUCB2 or ACTB cDNA plasmids. As expected, the mice in the NUCB2-shRNA group demonstrated a reduced tumor volume and growth rate compared with that in negative control group. This study observed the up-regulated expres- sion of NUCB2 in the ccRCC tissue and 786-O cell line.

Chapter 2 Abstract Novel high-throughput deep sequencing technology has dramatically changed the way that the functional complexity of transcriptomes can be studied. Here we report on the first use of this technology to gain insight into the wide range of transcrip- tional responses that are associated with an infectious disease process. Using Solexa/ Illumina’s digital gene expression (DGE) system, a tag-based transcriptome sequenc- ing method, we investigated mycobacterium-induced transcriptome changes in a model vertebrate species, the zebrafish. We obtained a sequencing depth of over 5 million tags per sample with strong correlation between replicates. Tag mapping indicated that healthy and infected adult zebrafish express over 70% of all genes represented in transcript databases. Comparison of the data with a previous mul- ti-platform microarray analysis showed that both types of technologies identified regulation of similar functional groups of genes.

  • Nucleobindin-1/2-Encoded Insulinotropic and Enterotropic Peptides
    NESFATIN-1 AND NESFATIN-1-LIKE PEPTIDE: NUCLEOBINDIN-1/2-ENCODED INSULINOTROPIC AND ENTEROTROPIC PEPTIDES A Thesis Submitted to the College of Graduate Studies and Research In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Science In the Department of Veterinary Biomedical Sciences Western College of Veterinary Medicine University of Saskatchewan Saskatoon By NARESH RAMESH © Copyright Naresh Ramesh, May, 2015. All rights reserved. ABSTRACT Nucleobindins are a class of secreted, multi-domain Ca2+ binding proteins that interact with nucleic acids. Two nucleobindins, nucleobindin-1 (NUCB1) and nucleobindin-2 (NUCB2) have been identified so far. In 2006, nesfatin-1, an 82 amino acid peptide encoded in NUCB2 was discovered. Nesfatin-1 is an anorexigenic and insulinotropic peptide found abundantly in hypothalamus, pancreas and stomach. Meal responsive insulin secretion is regulated by glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1), glucose dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), peptide YY (PYY) and cholecystokinin (CCK) secreted by intestinal mucosal cells. Since both nesfatin-1 and intestinal hormones modulate insulin secretion, nesfatin-1 could regulate intestinal hormones to elicit its insulinotropic action. Nucleobindin-1 primarily regulates Ca2+ homeostasis. Like NUCB2, NUCB1 is also present in the pancreas, stomach, intestine and pituitary. NUCB2 has a high similarity (62% in humans) to NUCB1. Both proteins also retain their prohormone convertase cleavage sites. However, no information exists on whether NUCB1 encodes bioactive peptides. The fact that NUCB1 is a secreted protein suggests an endocrine function for NUCB1 and/or its encoded peptide. This research hypothesizes that nesfatin- 1 is enterotropic, and NUCB1 encodes an insulinotropic nesfatin-1-like peptide (NLP).

FBHH1 is caused by mutations of a calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR), but the abnormalities underlying FBHH2 and FBHH3 are unknown. FBHH3, also referred to as the Oklahoma variant (FBHHOk), has been mapped to a 12cM interval, flanked by D19S908 and D19S866. To refine the location of FBHH3, we pursued linkage studies using 24 polymorphic loci. Our results establish a linkage between FBHH3 and 17 of these loci, and indicate that FBHH3 is located in a 4.1 Mb region flanked centromerically by D19S112 and telomerically by rs245111, which in the syntenic region on mouse chromosome 7 contains four Casr-related sequences (Gprc2a-rss). However, human homologues of these Gprc2a-rss were not found and a comparative analysis of the 22.0 Mb human and 39.3 Mb mouse syntenic regions showed evolutionary conservation of two segments that were inverted with loss from the human genome of 11.6 Mb that contained the four Gprc2a-rss.

  • Activation of the Endogenous Renin-Angiotensin- Aldosterone System Or Aldosterone Administration Increases Urinary Exosomal Sodium Channel Excretion
    CLINICAL RESEARCH www.jasn.org Activation of the Endogenous Renin-Angiotensin- Aldosterone System or Aldosterone Administration Increases Urinary Exosomal Sodium Channel Excretion † † Ying Qi,* Xiaojing Wang, Kristie L. Rose,* W. Hayes MacDonald,* Bing Zhang, ‡ | Kevin L. Schey,* and James M. Luther § Departments of *Biochemistry, †Bioinformatics, ‡Division of Clinical Pharmacology, Department of Medicine, §Division of Nephrology, Department of Medicine, and |Department of Pharmacology, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville, Tennessee ABSTRACT Urinary exosomes secreted by multiple cell types in the kidney may participate in intercellular signaling and provide an enriched source of kidney-specific proteins for biomarker discovery. Factors that alter the exosomal protein content remain unknown. To determine whether endogenous and exogenous hormones modify urinary exosomal protein content, we analyzed samples from 14 mildly hypertensive patients in a crossover study during a high-sodium (HS, 160 mmol/d) diet and low-sodium (LS, 20 mmol/d) diet to activate the endogenous renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. We further analyzed selected exosomal protein content in a separate cohort of healthy persons receiving intravenous aldosterone (0.7 mg/kg per hour for 10 hours) versus vehicle infusion. The LS diet increased plasma renin activity and aldosterone concentration, whereas aldosterone infusion increased only aldosterone concentration. Protein analysis of paired urine exosome samples by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry–based multidimen- sional protein identification technology detected 2775 unique proteins, of which 316 exhibited signifi- cantly altered abundance during LS diet. Sodium chloride cotransporter (NCC) and a-andg-epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) subunits from the discovery set were verified using targeted multiple reaction monitoring mass spectrometry quantified with isotope-labeled peptide standards.

It is The presence of common genomic deletions in the 19q13 thought that both neuroblastomas and gliomas might arise from chromosomal region in neuroblastomas and gliomas strongly neuroectodermal precursor cells (4). suggests the presence of a putative tumor suppressor gene for With an overall survival rate of <50%, the prognosis of these neoplasms in this region that, despite much effort, has neuroblastoma patients is highly variable and is associated with not yet been identified. In an attempt to address this issue, we many biological and clinical features, including the stage of the compared the expression profile of 89 neuroblastoma tumors disease (5), patient age, tumor ploidy (6), and a series of genetic and with that of benign ganglioneuromas by microarray analysis. epigenetic molecular features of the tumor, such as MYCN Probe sets (637 of 62,839) were significantly down-regulated in amplification (5), 1p deletions, 17q gains, and HOXA9 and RARB2 neuroblastoma tumors, including, most importantly, a gene CpG island hypermethylation (7).
