Zebrafish Disease Models to Study the Pathogenesis of Inherited Manganese Transporter Defects and Provide A
Zebrafish disease models to study the pathogenesis of inherited manganese transporter defects and provide a route for drug discovery Dr Karin Tuschl University College London PhD Supervisors: Dr Philippa Mills & Prof Stephen Wilson A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University College London August 2016 Declaration I, Karin Tuschl, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Part of the work of this thesis has been published in the following articles for which copyright clearance has been obtained (see Appendix): - Tuschl K, et al. Manganese and the brain. Int Rev Neurobiol. 2013. 110:277- 312. - Tuschl K, et al. Mutations in SLC39A14 disrupt manganese homeostasis and cause childhood-onset parkinsonism-dystonia. Nat Comms. 2016. 7:11601. I confirm that these publications were written by me and may therefore partly overlap with my thesis. 2 Abstract Although manganese is required as an essential trace element excessive amounts are neurotoxic and lead to manganism, an extrapyramidal movement disorder associated with deposition of manganese in the basal ganglia. Recently, we have identified the first inborn error of manganese metabolism caused by mutations in SLC30A10, encoding a manganese transporter facilitating biliary manganese excretion. Treatment is limited to chelation therapy with intravenous disodium calcium edetate which is burdensome due to its route of administration and associated with high socioeconomic costs. Whole exome sequencing in patients with inherited hypermanganesaemia and early- onset parkinsonism-dystonia but absent SLC30A10 mutations identified SLC39A14 as a novel disease gene associated with manganese dyshomeostasis. -
Basics on Bioinformafics Lecture 8
Basics on bioinforma-cs Lecture 8 Nunzio D’Agostino [email protected]; [email protected] Protein domain: terminology Superfamily: Proteins that have low sequence identity, but whose structural and functional features suggest a common evolutionary origin. Family: Proteins clustered together into families are clearly evolutionarily related (accepted rule: pairwise residue identity between the proteins >30% ). Domain: A domain is defined as a polypeptide chain or a part of polypeptide chain that can be independently fold into a stable tertiary structure. Domains are also units of function and are not unique to the protein products of one gene or one gene family but instead appear in a variety of proteins. Motif: A pattern of amino acids that is conserved across many proteins and confers a particular function to the protein. Site: Is the binding site where catalysis occurs. The structure and chemical properties of the active site allow the recognition and binding of the substrate. 2 Why protein domain identification? By iden*fying domains we can: o classify a new protein as belonging to a specific family o infer func*onality o infer cellular localizaon of a protein 3 Domain representation-patterns Some biologically significant amino acid paerns (mo*fs) can be summarised in the form of regular expressions. A regular expression is a powerful notaonal algebra that describes a string or a set of strings. One can use them whenever he/she wants to find paerns in strings. The standard notaons for describing regular expressions use these convenons: [AS] = A and S allowed. D = D allowed. x = Any symbol. -

Along with pleckstrin homology (PH) and phox homology (PX) domains, FYVE domains are the principal readers of the phosphoinositide (PI) code that mediate specific recognition of eukaryotic organelles. Of all the human FYVE domain-containing proteins, those within the Faciogenital dysplasia (Fgd) subfamily are particularly divergent, and couple with GTPases to exert unique cellular functions. -
Glycomics Goes Visual and Interactive
Glycomics & Lipidomics Extended Abstract Glycomics goes visual and interactive Alessandra Gastaldello structures attached to each of these sites. Mass spectrometry Abstract (MS) and microarray are high-throughput technologies that are commonly used in glycomics and glycoproteomics, which often result in the generation of large experimental datasets. Glycomics@ExPASy the glycomics tab of the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics approaches play an essential role in automated Bioinformatics server (www.expasy.org/glycomics) was created analysis and interpretation of such data. This unit describes in 2016 to centralise web-based glycoinformatics resources and discusses the computational tools currently available for developed within an international network of glycoscientists. these analyses, and their glycomics and glycoproteomics The philosophy of this toolbox is to be {glycoscientist AND applications. protein scientist}???friendly with the aim of popularising (a) the use of bioinformatics in glycobiology and (b) the relation A key point in achieving accurate intact glycopeptide between glycobiology and protein-oriented bioinformatics identification is the definition of the glycan composition file resources. The scarcity of bridging data led us to design tools that is used to match experimental with theoretical masses by a as interactive as possible based on database connectivity in glycoproteomics search engine. At present, these files are order to facilitate data exploration and support hypothesis mainly built from searching the literature and/or querying building. The current set of resources is mostly built on top of data sources focused on posttranslational modifications. Most curated or experimental data relative to glycan structures, glycoproteomics search engines include a default composition glycoproteins, host-pathogen interactions and mass file that is readily used when processing MS data. -

Thesis MSc in Medical Statistics Department of Health Sciences University of Leicester, United Kingdom Application of Bayesian hierarchical generalized linear models using weakly informative prior distributions to identify rare genetic variant effects on blood pressure Wilmar Igl March 2015 Summary Background Currently rare genetic variants are discussed as a source of \missing heritability" of complex traits. Bayesian hierarchical models were proposed as an efficient method for the estimation and aggregation of conditional effects of rare variants. Here, such models are applied to identify rare variant effects on blood pressure. Methods Empirical data provided by the Genetic Analysis Workshop 19 (2014) included 1,851 Mexican-American individuals with diastolic blood pressure (DBP), systolic blood pressure (SBP), hypertension (HTN) and 461,868 variants from whole- exome sequencing of odd-numbered chromosomes. Bayesian hierarchical generalized linear models using weakly informative prior distributions were applied. Results Associations of rare variants chr1:204214013 (estimate = 39.6, Credible In- terval (CrI) 95% = [25.3, 53.9], Bayesian p = 6:8 × 10−8) in the PLEKHA6 gene and chr11:118518698 (estimate = 32.2, CrI95% = [20.6, 43.9], Bayesian p = 7:0 × 10−8) in the PHLEDB1 gene were identified. Joint effects of grouped rare variants on DBP in 23 genes (Bayesian p = [8:8 × 10−14, 9:3 × 10−8]) and on SBP in 21 genes (Bayesian p = [8:6 × 10−12, 7:8 × 10−8]) in pathways related to hemostasis, sodi- um/calcium transport, ciliary activity, and others were found. No association with hypertension was detected. Conclusions Bayesian hierarchical generalized linear models with weakly informa- tive priors can successfully be applied in exome-wide genetic association analyses of rare variants. -
Comparative Genomics and Functional Annotation of Bacterial Transporters

Frank-Kamenetskii Abstract Transport proteins are difficult to study experimentally, and because of that their functional characterization trails that of en- zymes. The comparative genomic analysis is a powerful approach to functional annotation of proteins, which makes it possible to utilize the genomic sequence data from thousands of organisms. The use of computational techniques allows one to identify candidate transporters, predict their structure and localization in the membrane, and perform detailed functional annotation, which includes substrate specificity and cellular role. We overview the main techniques of analysis of transporters’ structure and function. We consider the most popular algorithms to identify transmembrane segments in protein sequences and to predict topology of multispanning proteins. We describe the main approaches of the comparative genomics, and how they may be applied to the analysis of transporters, and provide examples showing how combinations of these techniques is used for functional annotation of new transporter specificities in known families, characterization of new families, and prediction of novel transport mechanisms. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. -
