Mouse Nudt21 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Nudt21 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Nudt21 conditional knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6N) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Nudt21 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_026623 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000031754 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 8. 7 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TGA stop codon in exon 7 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000034204). Exon 2~3 will be selected as conditional knockout region (cKO region). Deletion of this region should result in the loss of function of the Mouse Nudt21 gene. To engineer the targeting vector, homologous arms and cKO region will be generated by PCR using BAC clone RP23-65F15 as template. Cas9, gRNA and targeting vector will be co-injected into fertilized eggs for cKO Mouse production. The pups will be genotyped by PCR followed by sequencing analysis. Note: Exon 2 starts from about 17.18% of the coding region. The knockout of Exon 2~3 will result in frameshift of the gene. The size of intron 1 for 5'-loxP site insertion: 4274 bp, and the size of intron 3 for 3'-loxP site insertion: 2219 bp. The size of effective cKO region: ~1859 bp. The cKO region does not have any other known gene.

Tandem repeats are found in the dot plot matrix. It may be difficult to construct this targeting vector. Overview of the GC Content Distribution Window size: 300 bp Summary: Full Length(8359bp) | A(28.62% 2392) | C(18.85% 1576) | T(29.57% 2472) | G(22.96% 1919) Note: The sequence of homologous arms and cKO region is analyzed to determine the GC content. No significant high GC-content region is found. So this region is suitable for PCR screening or sequencing analysis.

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.

Unlike most of AID/APOBEC, however, APOBEC2’s function remains elusive. Previous research has implicated APOBEC2 in diverse organisms and cellular processes such as muscle biology (in Mus musculus), regeneration (in Danio rerio), and development (in Xenopus laevis). APOBEC2 has also been implicated in cancer. However the enzymatic activity, substrate or physiological target(s) of APOBEC2 are unknown. For this thesis, I have combined Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) techniques with state-of-the-art molecular biology to determine the physiological targets of APOBEC2. Using a cell culture muscle differentiation system, and RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) by polyA capture, I demonstrated that unlike the AID/APOBEC family member APOBEC1, APOBEC2 is not an RNA editor. Using the same system combined with enhanced Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing (eRRBS) analyses I showed that, unlike the AID/APOBEC family member AID, APOBEC2 does not act as a 5-methyl-C deaminase.

  • Parent-Of-Origin Effects on Quantitative Phenotypes in a Large Hutterite Pedigree
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-018-0267-4 OPEN Parent-of-origin effects on quantitative phenotypes in a large Hutterite pedigree Sahar V. Mozaffari 1,2, Jeanne M. DeCara3, Sanjiv J. Shah4, Carlo Sidore5, Edoardo Fiorillo5, Francesco Cucca5,6, Roberto M. Lang3, Dan L. Nicolae1,2,3,7 & Carole Ober1,2 1234567890():,; The impact of the parental origin of associated alleles in GWAS has been largely ignored. Yet sequence variants could affect traits differently depending on whether they are inherited from the mother or the father, as in imprinted regions, where identical inherited DNA sequences can have different effects based on the parental origin. To explore parent-of-origin effects (POEs), we studied 21 quantitative phenotypes in a large Hutterite pedigree to identify variants with single parent (maternal-only or paternal-only) effects, and then variants with opposite parental effects. Here we show that POEs, which can be opposite in direction, are relatively common in humans, have potentially important clinical effects, and will be missed in traditional GWAS. We identified POEs with 11 phenotypes, most of which are risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Many of the loci identified are characteristic of imprinted regions and are associated with the expression of nearby genes. 1 Department of Human Genetics, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL 60637, USA. 2 Committee on Genetics, Genomics, and Systems Biology, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL 60637, USA. 3 Department of Medicine, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL 60637, USA. 4 Department of Medicine, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, IL 60611, USA. 5 Istituto di Ricerca Genetica e Biomedica (IRGB), CNR, Monserrato 09042, Italy.

David F Callen, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Adelaide, Adelaide, 5005, South Australia, Australia Abstract In breast cancer loss of the long-arm of chromosome 16 is frequently observed, suggesting this is the location of tumour suppressor gene or genes. Previous studies localised two or three minimal regions for the LOH genes in the vicinity of 16q22.1 and 16q24.3, however the identification of the relevant tumour suppressor genes has proved elusive. The current availability of large datasets from breast cancers, that include both gene expression and gene dosage of the majority of genes on the long-arm of chromosome 16 (16q), provides the opportunity to revisit the identification of the critical tumour suppressor genes in this region. Utilising such data it was found 37% of breast cancers are single copy for all genes on 16q and this was more frequent in the luminal A and B subtypes. Since luminal breast cancers are associated with a superior prognosis this is consistent with previous data associating loss of 16q with breast cancers of better survival. Previous chromosomal studies found a karyotype with a der t(1;16) to be the basis for a proportion of breast cancers with loss of 16q.

Kenneth Baillie 3,10* & Nir Hacohen 2,11* 1234567890():,; Host dependency factors that are required for influenza A virus infection may serve as therapeutic targets as the virus is less likely to bypass them under drug-mediated selection pressure. Previous attempts to identify host factors have produced largely divergent results, with few overlapping hits across different studies. Here, we perform a genome-wide CRISPR/ Cas9 screen and devise a new approach, meta-analysis by information content (MAIC) to systematically combine our results with prior evidence for influenza host factors. MAIC out- performs other meta-analysis methods when using our CRISPR screen as validation data. We validate the host factors, WDR7, CCDC115 and TMEM199, demonstrating that these genes are essential for viral entry and regulation of V-type ATPase assembly. We also find that CMTR1, a human mRNA cap methyltransferase, is required for efficient viral cap snatching and regulation of a cell autonomous immune response, and provides synergistic protection with the influenza endonuclease inhibitor Xofluza. 1 Harvard University Virology Program, Harvfvard Medical School, Boston MA02142, USA.

  • Identification of High-Confidence RNA Regulatory Elements By
    Li et al. Genome Biology (2017) 18:169 DOI 10.1186/s13059-017-1298-8 METHOD Open Access Identification of high-confidence RNA regulatory elements by combinatorial classification of RNA–protein binding sites Yang Eric Li1†, Mu Xiao2†, Binbin Shi1†, Yu-Cheng T. Yang1, Dong Wang1, Fei Wang2, Marco Marcia3 and Zhi John Lu1* Abstract Crosslinking immunoprecipitation sequencing (CLIP-seq) technologies have enabled researchers to characterize transcriptome-wide binding sites of RNA-binding protein (RBP) with high resolution. We apply a soft-clustering method, RBPgroup, to various CLIP-seq datasets to group together RBPs that specifically bind the same RNA sites. Such combinatorial clustering of RBPs helps interpret CLIP-seq data and suggests functional RNA regulatory elements. Furthermore, we validate two RBP–RBP interactions in cell lines. Our approach links proteins and RNA motifs known to possess similar biochemical and cellular properties and can, when used in conjunction with additional experimental data, identify high-confidence RBP groups and their associated RNA regulatory elements. Keywords: RNA-binding protein, CLIP-seq, Non-negative matrix factorization, RBPgroup Background protein binding sites with high resolution in different RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are essential to sustain mammalian cells [12–14]. The CLIP-seq data of mul- fundamental cellular functions, such as splicing, polya- tiple RNA binding proteins have been curated and denylation, transport, translation, and degradation of annotated in specific databases, such as CLIPdb, RNA transcripts [1, 2]. One study estimated that more POSTAR, and STARbase [15–17]. Several significant than 1500 different RBPs exist in human [3]. These studies improved the prediction of individual RBPs’ RBPs cooperate or compete with each other in binding binding sites by training on CLIP-seq and RNAcompete their RNA targets [4–6].

  • Knockdown of NUDT21 Inhibits Proliferation and Promotes Apoptosis of Human K562 Leukemia Cells Through ERK Pathway
    Journal name: Cancer Management and Research Article Designation: Original Research Year: 2018 Volume: 10 Cancer Management and Research Dovepress Running head verso: Zhang and Zhang Running head recto: NUDT21 promotes growth of K562 leukemia cells open access to scientific and medical research DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.2147/CMAR.S173496 Open Access Full Text Article ORIGINAL RESEARCH Knockdown of NUDT21 inhibits proliferation and promotes apoptosis of human K562 leukemia cells through ERK pathway Lan Zhang Background: NUDT21 is a mammalian precursor mRNA(pre-mRNA) 3’ end processing factor Weihua Zhang and plays an important role in the selection of poly(A) sites in 3’-untranslated region (3’-UTR). NUDT21 links alternative polyadenylation with regulation of glioblastoma and osteosarcoma Department of Haematology, First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University, progression and is found to be related to drug resistance in childhood acute leukemia. However, Taiyuan 030001, China the effect of NUDT21 on leukemia cells and the underlying mechanism are unknown. Methods: We knocked down NUDT21 in K562 cells and applied qRT-PCR and western blotting to quantitate the mRNA and protein expression. Cell proliferating and apoptosis were investigated subsequently by flow cytometry, BrdU, Caspase3/7. RNA microarray and intracellular signaling array were used to determine the important cell signaling pathways. Results: We clarified that the mRNA expression levels of NUDT21 are higher in primary chronic myelocytic leukemia patients and K562 leukemic cells compared with healthy controls and PBMCs. Downregulation of NUDT21 expression in K562 cells inhibits proliferation and promotes apoptosis. Screening by mRNA chip and intracellular signaling array, we found that MAPK/ERK pathway represented the main molecular mechanism underlying the effects of NUDT21 knockdown in K562 cells.

Based on our discovery that the glycosaminoglycan dermatan sulfate (DS) displays peculiar affinity to apoptotic cells and autoantigens (autoAgs) and that DS-autoAg complexes cooperatively stimulate autoreactive B1 cell responses, we compiled a database of 751 candidate autoAgs from six human cell types. At least 657 of these have been found to be affected by SARS-CoV-2 infection based on currently available multi-omic COVID data, and at least 400 are confirmed targets of autoantibodies in a wide array of autoimmune diseases and cancer.
