Availability of the genome sequence has fostered an array of high-throughput technologies to systematically probe gene function on a genome-wide scale at all levels of biological information flow, from the DNA sequence over transcripts to proteins. A powerful approach to study gene function on protein level is the iden- tification and quantification of proteins in complex mixtures by mass spectrom- etry. Despite significant technological and methodological advances, the com- plexity and the dynamic range of proteomes still pose major challenges for the analysis of biological samples. Based on an integrative bioinformatics analysis, I examine the composition of mass spectrometry proteomics datasets with respect to the coverage of the par- ticular proteome under study as well as the protein-coding genome as a whole. Using the example of a large-scale collaborative study of protein expression in human brain tissue, I point out characteristics of mass spectrometry proteomics datasets in terms of resolution and functional composition. On the basis of a comprehensive survey of publicly available proteomics data in the context of the genome sequence, I assess to what extent the findings from the analysis of the brain proteome study reflect global trends in mass spectrometry based pro- teomics. Following on from the results obtained by the analysis of experimental data, I outline and evaluate a strategy to improve the selectivity and sensitivity of target driven proteomics through diversification of peptide populations by com- binatorial proteolysis. The results presented in this dissertation show that mass spectrometry is an in- dispensable tool for large-scale protein research. However, they also demonstrate profound shortcomings of the technology regarding composition, redundancy and resolution of the generated data, emphasising the need for more targeted and systematic approaches to proteomics. The proposed combinatorial strategy contributes towards this aim by significantly increasing the coverage of the pro- teome by protein-specific signature peptides that are suitable reporter candidates for targeted proteomics experiments based on single reaction monitoring. Acknowledgements This dissertation describes work carried out at the European Bioinformat- ics Institute (EBI) in Hinxton, UK, between April 2005 and March 2009. The EBI is is an outstation of the European Molecular Biology Labora- tory (EMBL), Heidelberg, Germany. My research work at the EBI was funded through the EMBL international PhD programme. I would like to thank my supervisor Rolf Apweiler for taking me on as a PhD student and for his support and guidance over the last four years. Many thanks also to the members of my thesis advisory committee Wolf- gang Huber, Jyoti Choudhary, Sarah Teichman and Lars Steinmetz for their critical and constructive assessment of my work. I am equally thank- ful to Lennart Martens for his continuous interest in and support of my research and the very valuable feedback on my dissertation. I also would like to thank the HUPO Proteome Proteome Project (BPP) bioinformatics committee for involving me in the bioinformatics analysis of the HUPO BPP pilot study. The following people I would like to thank for accompanying me on this exciting journey through time and space at the EBI and in Cambridge. Members, ex-members and visitors of the Proteomics Services Team, Lennart Martens, Juan Antonio Vizca´ıno, Florian Reising, Matthieu Visser and Joe Foster, the lunch time deipnosophists and companions on the reg- ular and at times extensive walks on and around the campus. Richard Cotˆ e,´ Phil Jones, Antony Quinn, Cathrine Leroy and Samuel Kerrien for their help with everything IT related and last but not least the team leader Henning Hermjakob. ii iii Lennart, without you I might well never have made it to this stage. Thanks for sharing not only my research interests (or initiating them in the first place) but also a healthy dose of irony and cynicism. Conversations would only be half the fun without them. I am certain your enthusiasms is going to inspire many (PhD) students to come. Slow down a bit though, other- wise you will not only be a professor in five years but also one with grey hair (and probably no beard given your disapproval of beards). Juanan, you were a great colleague and it was always fun to work with you! Who will finish my chips at lunch time now? I hope you won’t spot that some parts of this dissertation are “justified” and some are not. Florian, the only team member who really appreciates the saying “a busy life is a wasted life”. I hope one day you will find yourself on the veranda of that beach bungalow in south america enjoying the sun. All it takes, is to convince Anna of the affore mentioned saying. Matthieu, thank you for always pointing out both sides of the coin not only in research but also life related matters. Soon, I will be joining you in the quest for the Holy Grail in the haystack of biopolymers. Yet, not bold enough to face the twenty-letter hydra I will humbly stick with the As, Cs, Gs and Ts for the time being. Richard, your brilliant linguistic idioms made me chuckle and the team meetings more enjoyable than meetings are generally meant to be. Phil, until recently the last British survivor in the all too European enclave of the PRIDE team. I don’t know how you managed to stand all the moaning about single glasing and the lack of insulation over the years. Joe, you will have to hold the British end up from now on. Good luck with your PhD! And remember, never, never hand your private number to German profes- sors. Antony, I would like to thank you for the good times we had together at the begining of my PhD at the group retreat, gigs and on various pub nights. Samuel, thank you for having been the only developer ever bold enough to let a layman touch code. Cathrine, thank you for extending my knowledge of French music. I still haven’t managed to comb through all the 150 or so Serge Gainsbourg songs you once gave me. Henning, thank you for giving me a home in the vast spaces of the PANDA group. I also would like to thank my fellow PhD students at the EBI and my iv friends in Cambridge for their support and major contribution to make life in Cambridge much more fun then I ever anticipated. In particular, I would like to thank Jorn,¨ first and foremost for being a great friend and for the good times we had together. But also for persuading me that it is worthwhile spending an entire day trying to install an R package and for his helpful advice regarding this weird and wonderful super high-level “programming language”. Jacky, thank you for resurrecting the social cal- endar after it had died a horrible death after the PhD course. I am now aware of at least a dozen music genres ending in “core” I had never even heard of before. John, I am grateful for your friendship and the countless evenings we spent together, philosophising about life, the universe and everything. And of course for proofreading this dissertation. I owe you one (or two or three). I also would like to thank Daniel, Melanie and Georg for the very enjoyable times we had together in particular as team mates during the many pubquizzes at the Clarendon. Unfortunately, I couldn’t share the moment of glory with you. Furthermore, I would like to thank my long-lasting friends Tim and Thomas for the, well, long-lasting friend- ship even across long distances. My greatest gratitude goes to my wonderful partner Daniela as well as my parents who always supported me unconditionally all these years. Daniela, thank you for taking me on this thrilling ride that we had over last ten years with all its ups and downs. Thank you for always sticking to me and for the encouragement and comfort in moments of dispear. Thank you for being the loving mother of our children Hannah and Benjamin who brought so much joy into our lifes. Finally, I am very grateful to my parents Else and Hans who always supported my decissions no matter how implausible they seemed to them. I thank you both for allowing me to go my way.

    1 Evidence for Gliadin Antibodies As Causative Agents in Schizophrenia

    1 Evidence for gliadin antibodies as causative agents in schizophrenia. C.J.Carter PolygenicPathways, 20 Upper Maze Hill, Saint-Leonard’s on Sea, East Sussex, TN37 0LG [email protected] Tel: 0044 (0)1424 422201 I have no fax Abstract Antibodies to gliadin, a component of gluten, have frequently been reported in schizophrenia patients, and in some cases remission has been noted following the instigation of a gluten free diet. Gliadin is a highly immunogenic protein, and B cell epitopes along its entire immunogenic length are homologous to the products of numerous proteins relevant to schizophrenia (p = 0.012 to 3e-25). These include members of the DISC1 interactome, of glutamate, dopamine and neuregulin signalling networks, and of pathways involved in plasticity, dendritic growth or myelination. Antibodies to gliadin are likely to cross react with these key proteins, as has already been observed with synapsin 1 and calreticulin. Gliadin may thus be a causative agent in schizophrenia, under certain genetic and immunological conditions, producing its effects via antibody mediated knockdown of multiple proteins relevant to the disease process. Because of such homology, an autoimmune response may be sustained by the human antigens that resemble gliadin itself, a scenario supported by many reports of immune activation both in the brain and in lymphocytes in schizophrenia. Gluten free diets and removal of such antibodies may be of therapeutic benefit in certain cases of schizophrenia. 2 Introduction A number of studies from China, Norway, and the USA have reported the presence of gliadin antibodies in schizophrenia 1-5. Gliadin is a component of gluten, intolerance to which is implicated in coeliac disease 6.

In vitro, it is a potent inhibitor of axonal growth and therefore considered to participate in the reduction of structural plasticity connected to myelination. To study the role of versican V2 during postnatal development, we designed a novel isoform-specific gene inactivation approach circumventing early embryonic lethality of the complete knock-out and preventing compensation by the remaining versican splice variants. These mice are viable and fertile; however, they display major molecular alterations at the nodes of Ranvier. While the clustering of nodal sodium channels and paranodal structures appear in versican V2-deficient mice unaffected, the formation of the extracellular matrix surrounding the nodes is largely impaired. The conjoint loss of tenascin-R and phosphacan from the perinodal matrix provide strong evidence that versican V2, possibly controlled by a nodal receptor, organizes the extracellular matrix assembly in vivo.

    Analysis of Trans Esnps Infers Regulatory Network Architecture

    Analysis of trans eSNPs infers regulatory network architecture Anat Kreimer Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Anat Kreimer All rights reserved ABSTRACT Analysis of trans eSNPs infers regulatory network architecture Anat Kreimer eSNPs are genetic variants associated with transcript expression levels. The characteristics of such variants highlight their importance and present a unique opportunity for studying gene regulation. eSNPs affect most genes and their cell type specificity can shed light on different processes that are activated in each cell. They can identify functional variants by connecting SNPs that are implicated in disease to a molecular mechanism. Examining eSNPs that are associated with distal genes can provide insights regarding the inference of regulatory networks but also presents challenges due to the high statistical burden of multiple testing. Such association studies allow: simultaneous investigation of many gene expression phenotypes without assuming any prior knowledge and identification of unknown regulators of gene expression while uncovering directionality. This thesis will focus on such distal eSNPs to map regulatory interactions between different loci and expose the architecture of the regulatory network defined by such interactions. We develop novel computational approaches and apply them to genetics-genomics data in human. We go beyond pairwise interactions to define network motifs, including regulatory modules and bi-fan structures, showing them to be prevalent in real data and exposing distinct attributes of such arrangements. We project eSNP associations onto a protein-protein interaction network to expose topological properties of eSNPs and their targets and highlight different modes of distal regulation.

  • The Molecular Genetic Architecture of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

    The Molecular Genetic Architecture of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

    Molecular Psychiatry (2015) 20, 289–297 © 2015 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 1359-4184/15 www.nature.com/mp EXPERT REVIEW The molecular genetic architecture of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder Z Hawi1, TDR Cummins1, J Tong1, B Johnson1, R Lau1, W Samarrai2 and MA Bellgrove1 Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common childhood behavioral condition which affects 2–10% of school age children worldwide. Although the underlying molecular mechanism for the disorder is poorly understood, familial, twin and adoption studies suggest a strong genetic component. Here we provide a state-of-the-art review of the molecular genetics of ADHD incorporating evidence from candidate gene and linkage designs, as well as genome-wide association (GWA) studies of common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and rare copy number variations (CNVs). Bioinformatic methods such as functional enrichment analysis and protein–protein network analysis are used to highlight biological processes of likely relevance to the aetiology of ADHD. Candidate gene associations of minor effect size have been replicated across a number of genes including SLC6A3, DRD5, DRD4, SLC6A4, LPHN3, SNAP-25, HTR1B, NOS1 and GIT1. Although case-control SNP-GWAS have had limited success in identifying common genetic variants for ADHD that surpass critical significance thresholds, quantitative trait designs suggest promising associations with Cadherin13 and glucose–fructose oxidoreductase domain 1 genes. Further, CNVs mapped to glutamate receptor genes (GRM1, GRM5, GRM7 and GRM8) have been implicated in the aetiology of the disorder and overlap with bioinformatic predictions based on ADHD GWAS SNP data regarding enriched pathways. Although increases in sample size across multi-center cohorts will likely yield important new results, we advocate that this must occur in parallel with a shift away from categorical case-control approaches that view ADHD as a unitary construct, towards dimensional approaches that incorporate endophenotypes and statistical classification methods.
