Mouse Atg4b Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Atg4b Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Atg4b conditional knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Atg4b gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_174874 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000026280 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 1. 13 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TGA stop codon in exon 13 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000027502). Exon 4~6 will be selected as conditional knockout region (cKO region). Deletion of this region should result in the loss of function of the Mouse Atg4b gene. To engineer the targeting vector, homologous arms and cKO region will be generated by PCR using BAC clone RP23-27E7 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: Mice homozygous for a gene trap allele exhibit decreased autophagy, impaired swimming, circling, head tilting, and abnormal utricle, saccular, and otolith morphology. Mice homozygous for another gene trap allele exhibit partial preweaning lethality and impaired motor coordination and learning. Exon 4 starts from about 15.69% of the coding region. The knockout of Exon 4~6 will result in frameshift of the gene. The size of intron 3 for 5'-loxP site insertion: 5445 bp, and the size of intron 6 for 3'-loxP site insertion: 2584 bp. The size of effective cKO region: ~2431 bp. The cKO region does not have any other known gene.

No significant tandem repeat is found in the dot plot matrix. So this region is suitable for PCR screening or sequencing analysis. Overview of the GC Content Distribution Window size: 300 bp Sequence 12 Summary: Full Length(8931bp) | A(23.97% 2141) | C(23.16% 2068) | T(30.55% 2728) | G(22.33% 1994) 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.

This article is published with open access, corrected publication 2021 Abstract Despite the great advances in autophagy research in the last years, the specific functions of the four mammalian Atg4 proteases (ATG4A-D) remain unclear. In yeast, Atg4 mediates both Atg8 proteolytic activation, and its delipidation. However, it is not clear how these two roles are distributed along the members of the ATG4 family of proteases. We show that these two functions are preferentially carried out by distinct ATG4 proteases, being ATG4D the main delipidating 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: enzyme. In mammalian cells, ATG4D loss results in accumulation of membrane-bound forms of mATG8s, increased cellular autophagosome number and reduced autophagosome average size. In mice, ATG4D loss leads to cerebellar neurodegeneration and impaired motor coordination caused by alterations in trafficking/clustering of GABAA receptors.

  • The 2Q37-Deletion Syndrome: an Update of the Clinical Spectrum Including Overweight, Brachydactyly and Behavioural Features in 14 New Patients

Such a deletion has been identified in 4100 patients by telomeric fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis and, less frequently, by array-based comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH). A recognizable ‘2q37-deletion syndrome’ or Albright’s hereditary osteodystrophy-like syndrome has been previously described. To better map the deletion and further refine this deletional syndrome, we formed a collaboration with the Association of French Language Cytogeneticists to collect 14 new intellectually deficient patients with a distal or interstitial 2q37 deletion characterized by FISH and array-CGH. Patients exhibited facial dysmorphism (13/14) and brachydactyly (10/14), associated with behavioural problems, autism or autism spectrum disorders of varying severity and overweight or obesity. The deletions in these 14 new patients measured from 2.6 to 8.8 Mb.

  • Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Potential Function of Long Non-Coding Rnas in 20- Hydroxyecdysone Regulated Autophagy in Bombyx Mori
    Qiao et al. BMC Genomics (2021) 22:374 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-021-07692-1 RESEARCH Open Access Transcriptome analysis reveals potential function of long non-coding RNAs in 20- hydroxyecdysone regulated autophagy in Bombyx mori Huili Qiao1, Jingya Wang1,2, Yuanzhuo Wang1, Juanjuan Yang1, Bofan Wei1, Miaomiao Li1,2, Bo Wang1, Xiaozhe Li1, Yang Cao3,4, Ling Tian4, Dandan Li1, Lunguang Yao1 and Yunchao Kan1* Abstract Background: 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) plays important roles in insect molting and metamorphosis. 20E-induced autophagy has been detected during the larval–pupal transition in different insects. In Bombyx mori, autophagy is induced by 20E in the larval fat body. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) function in various biological processes in many organisms, including insects. Many lncRNAs have been reported to be potential for autophagy occurrence in mammals, but it has not been investigated in insects. Results: RNA libraries from the fat body of B. mori dissected at 2 and 6 h post-injection with 20E were constructed and sequenced, and comprehensive analysis of lncRNAs and mRNAs was performed. A total of 1035 lncRNAs were identified, including 905 lincRNAs and 130 antisense lncRNAs. Compared with mRNAs, lncRNAs had longer transcript length and fewer exons. 132 lncRNAs were found differentially expressed at 2 h post injection, compared with 64 lncRNAs at 6 h post injection. Thirty differentially expressed lncRNAs were common at 2 and 6 h post- injection, and were hypothesized to be associated with the 20E response. Target gene analysis predicted 6493 lncRNA-mRNA cis pairs and 42,797 lncRNA-mRNA trans pairs.

Received 26 July 2016; Revised 10 October 2016; Accepted 1 November 2016 Abstract We previously reported a paradigm for large-scale phylogenomic analysis of gene fami- lies that takes advantage of the large corpus of experimentally supported Gene Ontology (GO) annotations. This ‘GO Phylogenetic Annotation’ approach integrates GO annota- tions from evolutionarily related genes across 100 different organisms in the context of a gene family tree, in which curators build an explicit model of the evolution of gene functions. GO Phylogenetic Annotation models the gain and loss of functions in a gene family tree, which is used to infer the functions of uncharacterized (or incompletely char- acterized) gene products, even for human proteins that are relatively well studied.

Disruption of the autophagy-lysosome pathway (ALP) may con- tribute to α-synuclein aggregation. Here we examined epigenetic alterations in the ALP in the appendix by deep sequencing DNA methylation at 521 ALP genes. We identified aberrant methylation at 928 cytosines affecting 326 ALP genes in the appendix of individuals with PD and widespread hypermethylation that is also seen in the brain of individuals with PD. In mice, we find that DNA methylation changes at ALP genes induced by chronic gut inflam- mation are greatly exacerbated by α-synuclein pathology. DNA methylation changes at ALP genes induced by synucleinopathy are associated with the ALP abnormalities observed in the appendix of individuals with PD specifically involving lysosomal genes. Our work identifies epigenetic dysregulation of the ALP which may suggest a potential mechanism for accu- mulation of α-synuclein pathology in idiopathic PD. 1 Center for Neurodegenerative Science, Van Andel Institute, Grand Rapids, MI, USA. 2 Institute of Biotechnology, Life Sciences Center, Vilnius University, Vilnius, Lithuania.
