The Journal of Immunology Foxp3-Deficient Regulatory T Cells Do Not Revert into Conventional Effector CD4؉ T Cells but Constitute a Unique Cell Subset1,2 Michal Kuczma, Robert Podolsky, Nikhil Garge, Danielle Daniely, Rafal Pacholczyk, Leszek Ignatowicz, and Piotr Kraj3 ؉ Homeostasis in the immune system is maintained by specialized regulatory CD4 T cells (Treg) expressing transcription factor Foxp3. According to the current paradigm, high-affinity interactions between TCRs and class II MHC-peptide complexes in thymus “instruct” developing thymocytes to up-regulate Foxp3 and become Treg cells. However, the loss or down-regulation of Foxp3 does not disrupt the development of Treg cells but abrogates their suppressor function. In this study, we show that Foxp3-deficient Treg cells in scurfy mice harboring a null mutation of the Foxp3 gene retained cellular features of Treg cells Downloaded from including in vitro anergy, impaired production of inflammatory cytokines, and dependence on exogenous IL-2 for proliferation and homeostatic expansion. Foxp3-deficient Treg cells expressed a low level of activation markers, did not expand relative to other CD4؉ T cells, and produced IL-4 and immunomodulatory cytokines IL-10 and TGF-␤ when stimulated. Global gene expression profiling revealed significant similarities between Treg cells expressing and lacking Foxp3. These results argue that Foxp3 defi- ؉ ciency alone does not convert Treg cells into conventional effector CD4 T cells but rather these cells constitute a distinct cell subset with unique features.

A Non-Stop S-Antigen Gene Mutation Is Associated With Late Onset Hereditary Retinal Degeneration in Dogs Abstract Purpose: To identify the causative mutation of canine progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) es gregating as an adult onset autosomal recessive disorder in the Basenji breed of dog. Methods: Basenji dogs were ascertained for the PRA hep notype by clinical ophthalmoscopic examination. Blood samples from six affected cases and three nonaffected controls were collected, and DNA extraction was used for a genome-wide association study using the canine HD Illumina single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array and PLINK. Positional candidate genes identified within the peak association signal region were evaluated. Results: The highest -Log10(P) value of 4.65 was obtained for 12 single nucleotide polymorphisms on three chromosomes. Homozygosity and linkage disequilibrium analyses favored one chromosome, CFA25, and screening of the S-antigen (SAG) gene identified a non-stop mutation (c.1216T>C), which would result in the addition of 25 amino acids (p.*405Rext*25).

Pp. 425–434 SAG/ROC2/Rbx2/Hrt2 , a Component of SCF E3 Ubiquitin Ligase: Genomic Structure, a Splicing Variant, and Two Family Pseudogenes MANJU SWAROOP, MARK GOSINK, 1 and YI SUN ABSTRACT We have recently cloned and characterized an evolutionarily conserved gene, S ensitive to A poptosis Gene (SAG), which encodes a redox-sensitive antioxidant protein that protects cells from apoptosis induced by re- dox agents. The SAG protein was later found to be the second family member of ROC/Rbx/Hrt, a component of the Skp1-cullin-F box protein (SCF) E3 ubiquitin ligase, being required for yeast growth and capable of promoting cell growth during serum starvation. Here, we report the genomic structure of the SAG gene that consists of four exons and three introns. We also report the characterization of a SAG splicing variant ( SAG- v), that contains an additional exon (exon 2; 264 bp) not present in wildtype SAG. The inclusion of exon 2 disrupts the SAG ORF and gives rise to a protein of 108 amino acids that contains the first 59 amino acids identical to SAG and a 49-amino acid novel sequence at the C terminus. The entire RING-finger domain of SAG was not translated because of several inframe stop codons within the exon 2. The SAG-v protein was expressed in multiple human tissues as well as cell lines, but at a much lower level than wildtype SAG. Un- like SAG, SAG-v was not able to rescue yeast cells from lethality in a ySAG knockout, nor did it bind to cullin-1 or have ligase activity, probably because of the lack of the RING-finger domain.

  • Post-Translational Coordination of Chlorophyll Biosynthesis And

Dynamic control of chlorophyll level, determined by the relative rates of chlorophyll anabolism and catabolism, ensures optimal photosynthesis 1234567890():,; and plant fitness. How plants post-translationally coordinate these two antagonistic pathways during their lifespan remains enigmatic. Here, we show that two Arabidopsis paralogs of BALANCE of CHLOROPHYLL METABOLISM (BCM) act as functionally conserved scaffold proteins to regulate the trade-off between chlorophyll synthesis and breakdown. During early leaf development, BCM1 interacts with GENOMES UNCOUPLED 4 to stimulate Mg-chelatase activity, thus optimizing chlorophyll synthesis. Meanwhile, BCM1’s interaction with Mg- dechelatase promotes degradation of the latter, thereby preventing chlorophyll degradation. At the onset of leaf senescence, BCM2 is up-regulated relative to BCM1, and plays a con- served role in attenuating chlorophyll degradation. These results support a model in which post-translational regulators promote chlorophyll homeostasis by adjusting the balance between chlorophyll biosynthesis and breakdown during leaf development. 1 Institute of Biology/Plant Physiology, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Philippstraße 13, 10115 Berlin,

  • Cytokinin Delays Dark-Induced Senescence in Rice by Maintaining the Chlorophyll Cycle and Photosynthetic Complexes

Nirosha1, Sarla Neelamraju2 and Rajeshwari Ramanan1,* 1 Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology, Hyderabad, India 2 Directorate of Rice Research, Rajendra Nagar, Hyderabad, India * Correspondence: [email protected] or [email protected] Received 14 November 2015; Accepted 22 December 2015 Editor: Christine Foyer, Leeds University Abstract The phytohormone cytokinin (CK) is known to delay senescence in plants. We studied the effect of a CK analog, 6-benzyl adenine (BA), on rice leaves to understand the possible mechanism by which CK delays senescence in a drought- and heat-tolerant rice cultivar Nagina22 (N22) using dark-induced senescence (DIS) as a surrogate for natural senescence of leaves. Leaves of N22-H-dgl162, a stay-green mutant of N22, and BA-treated N22 showed retention of chlorophyll (Chl) pigments, maintenance of the Chl a/b ratio, and delay in reduction of both photochemical efficiency and rate of oxygen evolution during DIS. HPLC analysis showed accumulation of 7-hydroxymethyl chlorophyll (HmChl) during DIS, and the kinetics of its accumulation correlated with progression of senescence. Transcriptome analysis revealed that several plastid-localized genes, specifically those associated with photosystem II (PSII), showed higher transcript levels in BA-treated N22 and the stay-green mutant leaves compared with naturally senescing N22 leaves.

  • Isolation of Ripening-Related Genes from Ethylene/1
    Shen et al. BMC Genomics (2017) 18:671 DOI 10.1186/s12864-017-4072-0 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Isolation of ripening-related genes from ethylene/1-MCP treated papaya through RNA-seq Yan Hong Shen1,2†, Bing Guo Lu3†, Li Feng1,2, Fei Ying Yang1,2, Jiao Jiao Geng1,2, Ray Ming4,5 and Xiao Jing Chen1,2* Abstract Background: Since papaya is a typical climacteric fruit, exogenous ethylene (ETH) applications can induce premature and quicker ripening, while 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) slows down the ripening processes. Differential gene expression in ETH or 1-MCP-treated papaya fruits accounts for the ripening processes. To isolate the key ripening-related genes and better understand fruit ripening mechanisms, transcriptomes of ETH or 1-MCP-treated, and non-treated (Control Group, CG) papaya fruits were sequenced using Illumina Hiseq2500. Results: A total of 18,648 (1-MCP), 19,093 (CG), and 15,321 (ETH) genes were detected, with the genes detected in the ETH-treatment being the least. This suggests that ETH may inhibit the expression of some genes. Based on the differential gene expression (DGE) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment, 53 fruit ripening- related genes were selected: 20 cell wall-related genes, 18 chlorophyll and carotenoid metabolism-related genes, four proteinases and their inhibitors, six plant hormone signal transduction pathway genes, four transcription factors, and one senescence-associated gene. Reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) analyses confirmed the results of RNA-seq and verified that the expression pattern of six genes is consistent with the fruit senescence process.

However, the mechanism by which pathway activation is communicated from Smo to Gli2 is not known. In an effort to elucidate this mechanism, we identified Dlg5 (Discs large, homolog 5) in a biochemical screen for proteins that preferentially interact with activated Smo. We found that disruption of Smo–Dlg5 interactions or depletion of endogenous Dlg5 leads to diminished Hh pathway response without a significant impact on Smo ciliary accumulation. We also found that Dlg5 is localized at the basal body, where it associates with another pathway component, Kif7. We show that Dlg5 is required for Hh-induced enrichment of Kif7 and Gli2 at the tip of the cilium but is dispensable for Gpr161 exit from the cilium and the consequent suppression of Gli3 processing into its repressor form.
