The Role of Arginine Methylation of Hnrnpul1 in the DNA Damage Response Pathway Gayathri Gurunathan
The role of arginine methylation of hnRNPUL1 in the DNA damage response pathway Gayathri Gurunathan Faculty of Medicine Division of Experimental Medicine McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada August 2014 A Thesis Submitted to McGill University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science © Gayathri Gurunathan 2014 Abstract Post-translational modifications play a key role in mediating the DNA damage response (DDR). It is well-known that serine/threonine phosphorylation is a major post-translational modification required for the amplification of the DDR; however, less is known about the role of other modifications, such as arginine methylation. It is known that arginine methylation of the DDR protein, MRE11, by protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) is essential for the response, as the absence of methylation of MRE11 in mice leads to hypersensitivity to DNA damage agents. Herein, we identify hnRNPUL1 as a substrate of PRMT1 and the methylation of hnRNPUL1 is required for DNA damage signalling. I show that several RGG/RG sequences of hnRNPUL1 are methylated in vitro by PRMT1. Recombinant glutathione S-transferase (GST) proteins harboring hnRNPUL1 RGRGRG, RGGRGG and a single RGG were efficient in vitro substrates of PRMT1. Moreover, I performed mass spectrometry analysis of Flag-hnRNPUL1 and identified the same sites methylated in vivo. PRMT1-depletion using RNA interference led to the hypomethylation of hnRNPUL1, consistent with PRMT1 being the only enzyme in vivo to methylate these sequences. We replaced the arginines with lysine in hnRNPUL1 (Flag- hnRNPUL1RK) such that this mutant protein cannot be methylated by PRMT1. Indeed Flag- hnRNPUL1RK was undetected using specific dimethylarginine antibodies. -

Although chromatin profiling has proven to be a powerful method for mapping regulatory sequences in cultured cells, chromatin states characteristic of active developmental enhancers have not been directly identified in embryonic tissues. Here we use whole transcriptome analysis coupled with genome-wide profiling of H3K27ac and H3K27me3 to map chromatin states and enhancers in mouse embryonic forelimb and hindlimb. We show that gene expression differences between forelimb and hindlimb, and between limb and other embryonic cell types, are correlated with tissue-specific H3K27ac signatures at promoters and distal sites. -

Genetic and Pharmacological Approaches to Preventing Neurodegeneration Abstract The Insulin/Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 Signaling (IIS) pathway was first identified as a major modifier of aging in C.elegans. It has since become clear that the ability of this pathway to modify aging is phylogenetically conserved. Aging is a major risk factor for a variety of neurodegenerative diseases including the motor neuron disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). This raises the possibility that the IIS pathway might have therapeutic potential to modify the disease progression of ALS. In a C. elegans model of ALS we found that decreased IIS had a beneficial effect on ALS pathology in this model. This beneficial effect was dependent on activation of the transcription factor daf-16. To further validate IIS as a potential therapeutic target for treatment of ALS, manipulations of IIS in mammalian cells were investigated for neuroprotective activity. Genetic manipulations that increase the activity of the mammalian ortholog of daf-16, FOXO3, were found to be neuroprotective in a series of in vitro models of ALS toxicity. -

Alternative Splicing Is Frequent During Early Embryonic Development in Mouse BMC Genomics 2010, 11:399
Revil et al. BMC Genomics 2010, 11:399 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2164/11/399 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access AlternativeResearch article splicing is frequent during early embryonic development in mouse Timothée Revil*1, Daniel Gaffney*1, Christel Dias1,2, Jacek Majewski1,2 and Loydie A Jerome-Majewska†1,3 Abstract Background: Alternative splicing is known to increase the complexity of mammalian transcriptomes since nearly all mammalian genes express multiple pre-mRNA isoforms. However, our knowledge of the extent and function of alternative splicing in early embryonic development is based mainly on a few isolated examples. High throughput technologies now allow us to study genome-wide alternative splicing during mouse development. Results: A genome-wide analysis of alternative isoform expression in embryonic day 8.5, 9.5 and 11.5 mouse embryos and placenta was carried out using a splicing-sensitive exon microarray. We show that alternative splicing and isoform expression is frequent across developmental stages and tissues, and is comparable in frequency to the variation in whole-transcript expression. The genes that are alternatively spliced across our samples are disproportionately involved in important developmental processes. Finally, we find that a number of RNA binding proteins, including putative splicing factors, are differentially expressed and spliced across our samples suggesting that such proteins may be involved in regulating tissue and temporal variation in isoform expression. Using an example of a well characterized splicing factor, Fox2, we demonstrate that changes in Fox2 expression levels can be used to predict changes in inclusion levels of alternative exons that are flanked by Fox2 binding sites. -

The laboratory mouse provides an ideal model to study aging in healthy individuals in a controlled environment. However, previous mouse studies have examined only a narrow range of the genetic variation that shapes individual differences during aging. Here, we analyzed transcriptome and proteome data from hearts of genetically diverse mice at ages 6, 12 and 18 months to characterize molecular changes that occur in the aging heart. Transcripts and proteins reveal distinct biological processes that are altered through the course of natural aging. Transcriptome analysis reveals a scenario of cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, and reemergence of fetal gene expression patterns. -
