Mouse Flnb Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Flnb Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Flnb conditional knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Flnb gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_001081427 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000025278 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 14. 46 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TAA stop codon in exon 46 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000052678). Exon 5~6 will be selected as conditional knockout region (cKO region). Deletion of this region should result in the loss of function of the Mouse Flnb gene. To engineer the targeting vector, homologous arms and cKO region will be generated by PCR using BAC clone RP23-391P19 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: Mutations in this gene cause skeletal defects including runting, premature mineralization, and bone fusion. Nullizygous mice show a delay and reduction in long bone growth. Truncation mutations cause early fusion of spinal vertebrae due to enhanced chondrocyte hypertrophy and early differentiation. Exon 5 starts from about 10.09% of the coding region. The knockout of Exon 5~6 will result in frameshift of the gene. The size of intron 4 for 5'-loxP site insertion: 8090 bp, and the size of intron 6 for 3'-loxP site insertion: 1475 bp. The size of effective cKO region: ~1202 bp. The cKO region does not have any other known gene.

No significant high GC-content region is found. So this region is suitable for PCR screening or sequencing analysis.

The SADH domains contribute to SCRIB dynamics at the 27 cell cortex and SCRIB polarity function.

Inherited cardiomyopathies account for a relevant part of these conditions. Although progresses have been made over the years, early diagnosis and curative therapies are still challenging. Understanding the events occurring in normal and diseased cardiac cells is crucial, as they are important determinants of overall heart function. Besides chemical and molecular events, there are also structural and mechanical phenomena that require to be investigated. Cell structure and mechanics largely depend from the cytoskeleton, which is composed by filamentous proteins that can be cross-linked via accessory proteins. Alpha-actinin 2 (ACTN2), filamin C (FLNC) and dystrophin are three major actin cross-linkers that extensively contribute to the regulation of cell structure and mechanics. Hereby, we review the current understanding of the roles played by ACTN2, FLNC and dystrophin in the onset and progress of inherited cardiomyopathies. With our work, we aim to set the stage for new approaches to study the cardiomyopathies, which might reveal new therapeutic targets and broaden the panel of genes to be screened.

ABSTRACT Tandem calponin homology domains are common actin-binding motifs found in proteins such as α-actinin, filamin, utrophin, and dystrophin that organize actin filaments into functional structures. Despite a conserved structural fold and regions of high sequence similarity, tandem calponin homology (CH1-CH2) domains can have remarkably different actin-binding properties, with disease-associated point mutants known to cause increased as well as decreased affinity for f-actin. How small variations in sequence can lead to significant differences in binding affinity and resulting actin organization remains unclear.

  • Structural Basis of the Filamin a Actin-Binding Domain Interaction with F-Actin
    1 Structural basis of the filamin A actin-binding domain interaction with F-actin 2 Daniel V. Iwamoto1*, Andrew Huehn2*, Bertrand Simon1, Clotilde Huet-Calderwood1, 3 Massimiliano Baldassarre1,3, Charles V. Sindelar2† and David A. Calderwood1,4† 4 1Department of Pharmacology, 2Department of Molecular Biophysics and 5 Biochemistry, 4Department of Cell Biology, Yale University, New Haven Connecticut, 6 USA. 3University of Aberdeen Institute of Medical Sciences, Aberdeen, Scotland, UK. *These 7 authors contributed equally to this work. †Corresponding Authors, [email protected], 8 [email protected] 9 Abstract 10 Actin-crosslinking proteins assemble actin filaments into higher-order structures essential 11 for orchestrating cell shape, adhesion and motility. Missense mutations in the tandem 12 calponin homology (CH) domains of their actin-binding domains (ABDs) underlie numerous 13 genetic diseases, but a molecular understanding of these pathologies is hampered by the lack 14 of high-resolution structures of any actin-crosslinking protein bound to F-actin. Here, taking 15 advantage of a high-affinity, disease-associated mutant of the human filamin A (FLNa) ABD, 16 we combine cryo-electron microscopy and functional studies to reveal at near-atomic 17 resolution how the first CH domain (CH1) and residues immediately N-terminal to it engage 18 actin. We further show that reorientation of CH2 relative to CH1 is required to avoid clashes 19 with actin and to expose F-actin-binding residues on CH1. Our data explain localization of 20 disease-associated loss-of-function mutations to FLNaCH1 and gain-of-function mutations 21 to the regulatory FLNaCH2. Sequence conservation argues that this provides a general 22 model for ABD-F-actin binding.
