Woods Hole 2012 Zebrafish Bioinformacs Lab All materials can be downloaded from http://faculty.ithaca.edu/iwoods/docs/wh/! ! (or) hp://goo.gl/1bnOF ! Ian G. Woods August 2012 Task 1: High resolu1on mapping, sequencing, and expression Overview: From a rough map position, refine the critical interval via (virtual) high resolution mapping with additional markers. Query the critical interval in the zebrafish genome for potential candidate genes. Find expression patterns online for these candidates. Design primers to sequence candidate genes for the mutagenic lesion or for additional SNPs to use in mapping. Task 2: Clone candidate enhancer/promoter sequences to create a transgenic reporter line Overview: Iden7fy the translaonal start site of a gene of interest. Obtain ~6kb of sequence upstream of this site. Design PCR primers that will amplify this region, and clone it in-frame with GFP in a tol2 expression vector. Iden7fy BACs for use in creang reporter constructs via homologous recombinaon or gap repair. Iden7fy evolu7onarily conserved sequences from other organisms to uncover poten7al regulatory regions around your gene of interest. Task 3: Morpholinos, rescue, and expression Overview: Find the zebrafish ortholog of your favorite gene. Find its locaon in the genome, locate the ATG, and iden7fy the exon-intron boundaries. Design two 25-mer morpholino sequences that target (1) the ATG and (2) an exon- intron boundary. Iden7fy an orthologous gene in another species for use in rescue experiments to control for morpholino specificity. Align this sequence with your morpholinos to determine degree of poten7al ac7vity. Obtain a full- length clone of the zebrafish gene (via RTPCR or clone collec7ons) for use in overexpression experiments or expression analyses via in situ hybridizaon. Task 4: Iden1fying zebrafish transcripts via Batch sequence retrieval and BLAST Overview: Mine OMIM (Online Mendelian inheritance in Man) for genes related to Sonic Hedgehog. Get amino acid sequences for these genes, and iden7fy (via blast) the zebrafish orthologs for these proteins. Use a simple script to parse the blast results to see where the genes are located in the zebrafish genome. Finally, find out where a few of these genes are expressed (via zfin). Requirements: UNIX terminal, perl (both nave on MacOSX) Detailed protocols and results Task 1: High resolu1on mapping, sequencing, and expression Overview: From a rough map position, find more SSLP markers to test for polymorphisms in your mapping cross. Query the critical interval in the zebrafish genome for potential candidate genes. Find expression patterns online for these candidates.

    Mutations in CDON, Encoding a Hedgehog Receptor, Result in Holoprosencephaly and Defective Interactions with Other Hedgehog Receptors

Krauss1,5 Holoprosencephaly (HPE), a common human congenital anomaly defined by a failure to delineate the midline of the forebrain and/or midface, is associated with diminished Sonic hedgehog (SHH)-pathway activity in development of these structures. SHH signaling is regulated by a network of ligand-binding factors, including the primary receptor PTCH1 and the putative coreceptors, CDON (also called CDO), BOC, and GAS1. Although binding of SHH to these receptors promotes pathway activity, it is not known whether interactions between these receptors are important. We report here identification of missense CDON mutations in human HPE. These mutations diminish CDON’s ability to support SHH-dependent gene expression in cell-based signaling assays. The mutations occur outside the SHH-binding domain of CDON, and the encoded variant CDON proteins do not display defects in binding to SHH. In contrast, wild-type CDON associates with PTCH1 and GAS1, but the variants do so inefficiently, in a manner that parallels their activity in cell-based assays. Our findings argue that CDON must associate with both ligand and other hedgehog-receptor components, particularly PTCH1, for signaling to occur and that disruption of the latter interactions is a mechanism of HPE.

Our recently launched Version 4 has a revamped infrastructure facilitating faster data updates, better-targeted data queries, and friendlier user experience. It also provides a stronger foundation for the GeneCards suite of companion databases and analysis tools. Improved data unification includes gene-disease links via MalaCards and merged biological pathways via PathCards, as well as drug information and proteome expression. VarElect, another suite member, is a phenotype prioritizer for next-generation sequencing, leveraging the GeneCards and MalaCards knowledgebase. It au- tomatically infers direct and indirect scored associations between hundreds or even thousands of variant-containing genes and disease phenotype terms. Var- Elect’s capabilities, either independently or within TGex, our comprehensive variant analysis pipeline, help prepare for the challenge of clinical projects that involve thousands of exome/genome NGS analyses.

  • Cdon Acts As a Hedgehog Decoy Receptor During Proximal-Distal Patterning of the Optic Vesicle

    Cdon Acts As a Hedgehog Decoy Receptor During Proximal-Distal Patterning of the Optic Vesicle

    ARTICLE Received 10 Dec 2013 | Accepted 26 May 2014 | Published 8 Jul 2014 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms5272 OPEN Cdon acts as a Hedgehog decoy receptor during proximal-distal patterning of the optic vesicle Marcos Julia´n Cardozo1,2, Luisa Sa´nchez-Arrones1,2,A´frica Sandonis1,2, Cristina Sa´nchez-Camacho2,w, Gaia Gestri3, Stephen W. Wilson3, Isabel Guerrero1 & Paola Bovolenta1,2 Patterning of the vertebrate optic vesicle into proximal/optic stalk and distal/neural retina involves midline-derived Hedgehog (Hh) signalling, which promotes stalk specification. In the absence of Hh signalling, the stalks are not specified, causing cyclopia. Recent studies showed that the cell adhesion molecule Cdon forms a heteromeric complex with the Hh receptor Patched 1 (Ptc1). This receptor complex binds Hh and enhances signalling activation, indicating that Cdon positively regulates the pathway. Here we show that in the developing zebrafish and chick optic vesicle, in which cdon and ptc1 are expressed with a complementary pattern, Cdon acts as a negative Hh signalling regulator. Cdon predominantly localizes to the basolateral side of neuroepithelial cells, promotes the enlargement of the neuroepithelial basal end-foot and traps Hh protein, thereby limiting its dispersion. This Ptc-independent function protects the retinal primordium from Hh activity, defines the stalk/retina boundary and thus the correct proximo-distal patterning of the eye. 1 Centro de Biologı´a Molecular Severo Ochoa, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientı´ficas—Universidad Auto´noma de Madrid, 28049 Madrid Spain. 2 Ciber de Enfermedades Raras (CIBERER), ISCIII, c/ Nicolas Cabrera 1, 28049 Madrid Spain. 3 Department of Cell and Developmental Biology, University College London, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT, UK.

Animal models, particularly the laboratory mouse, have been used to understand the pathogenic mechanisms that underlie PR cell loss and to explore therapies that may prevent, delay, or reverse RD. Here, we reviewed entries in the Mouse Genome Informatics and PubMed databases to compile a comprehensive list of monogenic mouse models in which PR cell loss is demonstrated.

In the ventral spinal 17 cord, Shh induces concentration-dependent expression of transcription factors, subdividing neural progenitors into distinct domains 18 that subsequently produce distinct neuronal and glial subtypes. In particular, progenitors of the pMN domain express the bHLH 19 transcription factor Olig2 and produce motor neurons followed by oligodendrocytes, the myelinating glial cell type of the central 20 nervous system.
