Mouse Wbp11 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Wbp11 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Wbp11 conditional knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Wbp11 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_021714 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000030216 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 6. 12 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 2 and the TGA stop codon in exon 12 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000116514). Exon 2~4 will be selected as conditional knockout region (cKO region). Deletion of this region should result in the loss of function of the Mouse Wbp11 gene. To engineer the targeting vector, homologous arms and cKO region will be generated by PCR using BAC clone RP23-93A18 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 100% of the coding region. The knockout of Exon 2~4 will result in frameshift of the gene. The size of intron 1 for 5'-loxP site insertion: 1910 bp, and the size of intron 4 for 3'-loxP site insertion: 1339 bp. The size of effective cKO region: ~2235 bp. The cKO region does not have any other known gene.

  • Genetic Variants Contribute to Gene Expression Variability in Humans
    INVESTIGATION Genetic Variants Contribute to Gene Expression Variability in Humans Amanda M. Hulse* and James J. Cai*,†,1 *Interdisciplinary Program in Genetics and †Department of Veterinary Integrative Biosciences, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas 77843-4458 ABSTRACT Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) studies have established convincing relationships between genetic variants and gene expression. Most of these studies focused on the mean of gene expression level, but not the variance of gene expression level (i.e., gene expression variability). In the present study, we systematically explore genome-wide association between genetic variants and gene expression variability in humans. We adapt the double generalized linear model (dglm) to simultaneously fit the means and the variances of gene expression among the three possible genotypes of a biallelic SNP. The genomic loci showing significant association between the variances of gene expression and the genotypes are termed expression variability QTL (evQTL). Using a data set of gene expression in lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) derived from 210 HapMap individuals, we identify cis-acting evQTL involving 218 distinct genes, among which 8 genes, ADCY1, CTNNA2, DAAM2, FERMT2, IL6, PLOD2, SNX7, and TNFRSF11B, are cross-validated using an extra expression data set of the same LCLs. We also identify 300 trans-acting evQTL between .13,000 common SNPs and 500 randomly selected representative genes. We employ two distinct scenarios, emphasizing single-SNP and multiple-SNP effects on expression variability, to explain the formation of evQTL. We argue that detecting evQTL may represent a novel method for effectively screening for genetic interactions, especially when the multiple-SNP influence on expression variability is implied.

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.

Here, we identify PQBP1 as an alternative messenger RNA (mRNA) splicing (AS) effector capable of influencing splicing of multiple mRNA targets. PQBP1 is associated with many splicing factors, including the key U2 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) component SF3B1 (subunit 1 of the splicing factor 3B [SF3B] protein complex). Loss of functional PQBP1 reduced SF3B1 substrate mRNA association and led to significant changes in AS patterns. Depletion of PQBP1 in primary mouse neurons reduced dendritic outgrowth and altered AS of mRNAs enriched for functions in neuron projection development. Disease-linked PQBP1 mutants were deficient in splicing factor associations and could not complement neurite outgrowth defects. Our results indicate that PQBP1 can affect the AS of multiple mRNAs and indicate specific affected targets whose splice site determination may contribute to the disease phenotype in PQBP1-linked neurological disorders.

To pursue the functional properties of WW domains, we employed mass spectrometry to identify 148 proteins that associate with 10 human WW domains. Many of these proteins represent novel WW domain-binding partners and are components of multiprotein complexes involved in molecular processes, such as transcription, RNA processing, and cytoskel- etal regulation.

  • Protein-Protein Interaction Network Alignment and Evolution
    Protein-Protein Interaction Network Alignment and Evolution by Brian Man-Kin Law A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Computer Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Brian Law 2019 Protein-Protein Interaction Network Alignment and Evolution Brian Law Doctor of Philosophy Computer Science University of Toronto 2019 Abstract Network alignment is an emerging analysis method enabled by the rapid large-scale collection of protein-protein interaction data for many different species. As sequence alignment did for gene evolution, network alignment will hopefully provide new insights into network evolution and serve as a new bioinformatic tool for making biological inferences across species. Using new SH3 binding data from Saccharomyces cerevisiae , Caenorhabditis elegans , and Homo sapiens , I construct new interface-interaction networks and devise a new network alignment method for these networks. With appropriate parameterization, this method is highly successful at generating alignments that reflect known protein orthology information and contain high network topology overlap. However, close examination of the optimal parameterization reveals a heavy reliance on protein sequence similarity and fungibility of other data features, including network topology data, an observation that may also pertain to protein-protein interaction network alignment. Closer examination of interactomic data, along with established orthology data, reveals that protein-protein interaction conservation is quite low across multiple species, suggesting that the high network topology overlap achieved by contemporary network aligners is ill-advised if biological relevance of results is desired. Further consideration of gene duplication and protein ii binding sites reveal additional PPI evolution phenomena further reducing the network topology overlap expected in network alignments, casting doubt on the utility of network alignment metrics solely based on network topology.

  • UNDERSTANDING the ROLE of SPLICING FACTORS in CENTRIOLE DUPLICATION by Elizabeth Michelle Park a Dissertation Submitted to John
    UNDERSTANDING THE ROLE OF SPLICING FACTORS IN CENTRIOLE DUPLICATION by Elizabeth Michelle Park A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland January 2020 © 2020 Elizabeth Park All rights reserved Abstract The centriole is a microtubule-based structure that forms the core of the centrosome, the major microtubule organizing center of the cell. Each centrosome contains precisely two centrioles that are surrounded by pericentriolar material that nucleates microtubules and plays crucial roles in the cell. Cycling cells undergo exactly one round of centriole duplication that is regulated numerically, spatially, and temporally alongside the duplication of the cell’s DNA. This regulation is important for cell health and viability, as aberrations in centriole number can lead to diseases such as cancer. The complete molecular mechanisms regulating centriole duplication have not yet been discovered. Recent work identified that a subset of splicing factors is required for centriole biogenesis. This revealed a previously unstudied means of post-transcriptional regulation that centriole proteins could undergo to ensure that the centriolar building blocks are translated in stoichiometrically appropriate amounts. While this subset of splicing factors was identified as playing a role in centriole duplication, the precise mechanism by which they regulate centriole biogenesis at the post transcriptional level was not identified. I sought to identify novel means of regulating centriole duplication. I uncovered an additional splicing factor, WBP11, that upon depletion, yields similar phenotypes to the depletion of the fourteen other splicing factors implicated in centriole biogenesis. I found that WBP11, SNW1, and likely other centriole-related splicing factors are required to splice out short, weak introns such as those found at the 3’ terminus of the TUBGCP6 pre-mRNA.

Abstract Background: Human ART4, carrier of the GPI-(glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol) anchored Dombrock blood group antigens, is an apparently inactive member of the mammalian mono-ADP- ribosyltransferase (ART) family named after the enzymatic transfer of a single ADP-ribose moiety from NAD+ to arginine residues of extracellular target proteins. All known mammalian ART4 orthologues are predicted to lack ART activity because of one or more changes in essential active site residues that make up the R-S-EXE motif.

  • WBP11 Is Required for Splicing the TUBGCP6 Pre-Mrna to Promote Centriole Duplication
    ARTICLE WBP11 is required for splicing the TUBGCP6 pre-mRNA to promote centriole duplication Elizabeth M. Park1, Phillip M. Scott1, Kevin Clutario1, Katelyn B. Cassidy2, Kevin Zhan1, Scott A. Gerber2,3,4, and Andrew J. Holland1 Centriole duplication occurs once in each cell cycle to maintain centrosome number. A previous genome-wide screen revealed Downloaded from http://rupress.org/jcb/article-pdf/219/1/e201904203/1399624/jcb_201904203.pdf by guest on 27 September 2021 that depletion of 14 RNA splicing factors leads to a specific defect in centriole duplication, but the cause of this deficit remains unknown. Here, we identified an additional pre-mRNA splicing factor, WBP11, as a novel protein required for centriole duplication. Loss of WBP11 results in the retention of ∼200 introns, including multiple introns in TUBGCP6, a central component of the γ-TuRC. WBP11 depletion causes centriole duplication defects, in part by causing a rapid decline in the level of TUBGCP6. Several additional splicing factors that are required for centriole duplication interact with WBP11 and are required for TUBGCP6 expression. These findings provide insight into how the loss of a subset of splicing factors leads to a failure of centriole duplication. This may have clinical implications because mutations in some spliceosome proteins cause microcephaly and/or growth retardation, phenotypes that are strongly linked to centriole defects. Introduction Centrioles are the core structural components of the centrosome, Polo-like kinase 4 (PLK4) is the earliest marker for the site of the cell’s major microtubule-organizing center that arranges the procentriole assembly and is initially recruited to form a ring interphase microtubule cytoskeleton in many cell types and around the proximal end of parent centrioles (Bettencourt-Dias forms the spindle poles during mitosis (Gonczy,¨ 2012).

    Wang et al. Clin Proteom (2021) 18:16 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12014-021-09322-0 Clinical Proteomics RESEARCH Open Access Quantitative proteomic analysis of aberrant expressed lysine acetylation in gastrointestinal stromal tumors Bo Wang1,2†, Long Zhao1,3†, Zhidong Gao1, Jianyuan Luo4, Haoran Zhang1, Lin Gan1, Kewei Jiang1, Shan Wang2,3, Yingjiang Ye1 and Zhanlong Shen2,3* Abstract Background: Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is a common digestive tract tumor with high rate of metastasis and recurrence. Currently, we understand the genome, transcriptome and proteome in GIST. However, posttranscrip- tional modifcation features in GIST remain unclear. In the present study, we aimed to construct a complete profle of acetylome in GIST. Methods: Five common protein modifcations, including acetylation, succinylation, crotonylation, 2-hydroxyisobu- tyrylation, and malonylation were tested among GIST subgroups and signifcantly diferentially- expressed lysine acetylation was found. The acetylated peptides labeled with Tandem Mass Tag (TMT)under high sensitive mass spec- trometry, and some proteins with acetylation sites were identifed. Subsequently, these proteins and peptides were classifed into high/moderate (H/M) risk and low (L) risk groups according to the modifed NIH classifcation standard. Furthermore, cell components, molecular function, biological processes, KEGG pathways and protein interaction networks were analyzed. Results: A total of 2904 acetylation sites from 1319 proteins were identifed, of which quantitative information of 2548 sites from 1169 proteins was obtained. Finally, the diferentially-expressed lysine acetylation sites were assessed and we found that 42 acetylated sites of 38 proteins were upregulated in the H/M risk group compared with the L risk group, while 48 acetylated sites of 44 proteins were downregulated, of which Ki67 K1063Ac and FCHSD2 K24Ac were the two acetylated proteins that were most changed.
