The encoded protein interacts with clathrin, the adapter protein AP-1 and phosphoinositides. This protein may be involved in the formation of clathrin coated vesicles and trafficking between the trans-Golgi network and endosomes. Mutations in this gene are associated with a susceptibility to schizophrenia and psychotic disorders. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2010] Transcript Variant: This variant (3) differs in the 5' UTR, lacks a portion of the 5' coding region, and initiates translation at a downstream start codon, compared to variant 1. The encoded isoform (3) has a shorter N-terminus, compared to isoform 1. This product is to be used for laboratory only.

  • Mutation-Specific and Common Phosphotyrosine Signatures of KRAS G12D and G13D Alleles Anticipated Graduation August 1St, 2018
    MUTATION-SPECIFIC AND COMMON PHOSPHOTYROSINE SIGNATURES OF KRAS G12D AND G13D ALLELES by Raiha Tahir A dissertation submitted to The Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirement of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, MD August 2018 © 2018 Raiha Tahir All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT KRAS is one of the most frequently mutated genes across all cancer subtypes. Two of the most frequent oncogenic KRAS mutations observed in patients result in glycine to aspartic acid substitution at either codon 12 (G12D) or 13 (G13D). Although the biochemical differences between these two predominant mutations are not fully understood, distinct clinical features of the resulting tumors suggest involvement of disparate signaling mechanisms. When we compared the global phosphotyrosine proteomic profiles of isogenic colorectal cancer cell lines bearing either G12D or G13D KRAS mutations, we observed both shared as well as unique signaling events induced by the two KRAS mutations. Remarkably, while the G12D mutation led to an increase in membrane proximal and adherens junction signaling, the G13D mutation led to activation of signaling molecules such as non-receptor tyrosine kinases, MAPK kinases and regulators of metabolic processes. The importance of one of the cell surface molecules, MPZL1, which found to be hyperphosphorylated in G12D cells, was confirmed by cellular assays as its knockdown led to a decrease in proliferation of G12D but not G13D expressing cells. Overall, our study reveals important signaling differences across two common KRAS mutations and highlights the utility of our approach to systematically dissect the subtle differences between related oncogenic mutants and potentially lead to individualized treatments.

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.

  • Convergent Functional Genomics of Schizophrenia: from Comprehensive Understanding to Genetic Risk Prediction
    Molecular Psychiatry (2012) 17, 887 -- 905 & 2012 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 1359-4184/12 www.nature.com/mp IMMEDIATE COMMUNICATION Convergent functional genomics of schizophrenia: from comprehensive understanding to genetic risk prediction M Ayalew1,2,9, H Le-Niculescu1,9, DF Levey1, N Jain1, B Changala1, SD Patel1, E Winiger1, A Breier1, A Shekhar1, R Amdur3, D Koller4, JI Nurnberger1, A Corvin5, M Geyer6, MT Tsuang6, D Salomon7, NJ Schork7, AH Fanous3, MC O’Donovan8 and AB Niculescu1,2 We have used a translational convergent functional genomics (CFG) approach to identify and prioritize genes involved in schizophrenia, by gene-level integration of genome-wide association study data with other genetic and gene expression studies in humans and animal models. Using this polyevidence scoring and pathway analyses, we identify top genes (DISC1, TCF4, MBP, MOBP, NCAM1, NRCAM, NDUFV2, RAB18, as well as ADCYAP1, BDNF, CNR1, COMT, DRD2, DTNBP1, GAD1, GRIA1, GRIN2B, HTR2A, NRG1, RELN, SNAP-25, TNIK), brain development, myelination, cell adhesion, glutamate receptor signaling, G-protein-- coupled receptor signaling and cAMP-mediated signaling as key to pathophysiology and as targets for therapeutic intervention. Overall, the data are consistent with a model of disrupted connectivity in schizophrenia, resulting from the effects of neurodevelopmental environmental stress on a background of genetic vulnerability. In addition, we show how the top candidate genes identified by CFG can be used to generate a genetic risk prediction score (GRPS) to aid schizophrenia diagnostics, with predictive ability in independent cohorts. The GRPS also differentiates classic age of onset schizophrenia from early onset and late-onset disease.

Azedine Zoufir July 2018 Summary Title: Computational analyses of small molecules activity from phenotypic screens Author: Azedine Zoufir Drug discovery is no longer relying on the one gene-one disease paradigm nor on target-based screening alone to discover new drugs. Phenotypic-based screening is regaining momentum to discover new compounds since those assays provide an environment closer to the physiological state of the disease and allow to better anticipate off-target effects and other factors that can limit the efficacy of the drugs. However, uncovering the mechanism of action of the compounds active in those assays relies on in vitro techniques that are expensive and time- consuming.

  • Network Organization of the Human Autophagy System
    Vol 466 | 1 July 2010 | doi:10.1038/nature09204 ARTICLES Network organization of the human autophagy system Christian Behrends1, Mathew E. Sowa1, Steven P. Gygi2 & J. Wade Harper1 Autophagy, the process by which proteins and organelles are sequestered in autophagosomal vesicles and delivered to the lysosome/vacuole for degradation, provides a primary route for turnover of stable and defective cellular proteins. Defects in this system are linked with numerous human diseases. Although conserved protein kinase, lipid kinase and ubiquitin-like protein conjugation subnetworks controlling autophagosome formation and cargo recruitment have been defined, our understanding of the global organization of this system is limited. Here we report a proteomic analysis of the autophagy interaction network in human cells under conditions of ongoing (basal) autophagy, revealing a network of 751 interactions among 409 candidate interacting proteins with extensive connectivity among subnetworks. Many new autophagy interaction network components have roles in vesicle trafficking, protein or lipid phosphorylation and protein ubiquitination, and affect autophagosome number or flux when depleted by RNA interference. The six ATG8 orthologues in humans (MAP1LC3/GABARAP proteins) interact with a cohort of 67 proteins, with extensive binding partner overlap between family members, and frequent involvement of a conserved surface on ATG8 proteins known to interact with LC3-interacting regions in partner proteins. These studies provide a global view of the mammalian autophagy interaction landscape and a resource for mechanistic analysis of this critical protein homeostasis pathway. Protein homeostasis in eukaryotes is controlled by proteasomal turn- promote incorporation of Atg8p--PE into autophagosomes, allowing over of unstable proteins via the ubiquitin system and lysosomal turn- Atg8p to promote autophagosome closure and cargo recruitment.

  • Rare Disruptive Variants in the DISC1 Interactome and Regulome: Association with Cognitive Ability and Schizophrenia
    OPEN Molecular Psychiatry (2018) 23, 1270–1277 www.nature.com/mp ORIGINAL ARTICLE Rare disruptive variants in the DISC1 Interactome and Regulome: association with cognitive ability and schizophrenia S Teng1,2,10, PA Thomson3,4,10, S McCarthy1,10, M Kramer1, S Muller1, J Lihm1, S Morris3, DC Soares3, W Hennah5, S Harris3,4, LM Camargo6, V Malkov7, AM McIntosh8, JK Millar3, DH Blackwood8, KL Evans4, IJ Deary4,9, DJ Porteous3,4 and WR McCombie1 Schizophrenia (SCZ), bipolar disorder (BD) and recurrent major depressive disorder (rMDD) are common psychiatric illnesses. All have been associated with lower cognitive ability, and show evidence of genetic overlap and substantial evidence of pleiotropy with cognitive function and neuroticism. Disrupted in schizophrenia 1 (DISC1) protein directly interacts with a large set of proteins (DISC1 Interactome) that are involved in brain development and signaling. Modulation of DISC1 expression alters the expression of a circumscribed set of genes (DISC1 Regulome) that are also implicated in brain biology and disorder. Here we report targeted sequencing of 59 DISC1 Interactome genes and 154 Regulome genes in 654 psychiatric patients and 889 cognitively-phenotyped control subjects, on whom we previously reported evidence for trait association from complete sequencing of the DISC1 locus. Burden analyses of rare and singleton variants predicted to be damaging were performed for psychiatric disorders, cognitive variables and personality traits. The DISC1 Interactome and Regulome showed differential association across the phenotypes tested. After family-wise error correction across all traits (FWERacross), an increased burden of singleton disruptive variants in the Regulome was associated with SCZ (FWERacross P=0.0339).

Youth Science Institute, Los Gatos, California, USA 17 1 Copyright 2017. 18 Abstract 19 The genetic architecture of behavioural traits in dogs is of great interest to owners, breeders 20 and professionals involved in animal welfare, as well as to scientists studying the genetics of 21 animal (including human) behaviour. The genetic component of dog behaviour is supported 22 by between-breed differences and some evidence of within-breed variation. However, it is a 23 challenge to gather sufficiently large datasets to dissect the genetic basis of complex traits 24 such as behaviour, which are both time-consuming and logistically difficult to measure, and 25 known to be influenced by non-genetic factors. In this study, we exploited the knowledge that 26 owners have of their dogs to generate a large dataset of personality traits in Labrador 27 Retrievers. While accounting for key environmental factors, we demonstrate that genetic 28 variance can be detected for dog personality traits assessed using questionnaire data. We 29 identified substantial genetic variance for several traits, including fetching tendency and fear 30 of loud noises, while other traits revealed negligibly small heritabilities.

  • Is Required for Egg Chamber Morphogenesis During Drosophila Oogenesis
    Liquid facets-Related (lqfR) Is Required for Egg Chamber Morphogenesis during Drosophila Oogenesis Peter A. Leventis1,2, Tanya R. Da Sylva1, Nimerta Rajwans1, Sylwia Wasiak3, Peter S. McPherson3, Gabrielle L. Boulianne1,2,4* 1 Program in Developmental and Stem Cell Biology, Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, 2 Department of Cell and Systems Biology, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, 3 Montreal Neurological Institute, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, 4 Department of Molecular Genetics, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada Abstract Clathrin interactor 1 [CLINT1] (also called enthoprotin/EpsinR) is an Epsin N-terminal homology (ENTH) domain-containing adaptor protein that functions in anterograde and retrograde clathrin-mediated trafficking between the trans-Golgi network and the endosome. Removal of both Saccharomyces cerevisiae homologs, Ent3p and Ent5p, result in yeast that are viable, but that display a cold-sensitive growth phenotype and mistrafficking of various vacuolar proteins. Similarly, either knock- down or overexpression of vertebrate CLINT1 in cell culture causes mistrafficking of proteins. Here, we have characterized Drosophila CLINT1, liquid-facets Related (lqfR). LqfR is ubiquitously expressed throughout development and is localized to the Golgi and endosome. Strong hypomorphic mutants generated by imprecise P-element excision exhibit extra macrochaetae, rough eyes and are female sterile. Although essentially no eggs are laid, the ovaries do contain late-stage egg chambers that exhibit abnormal morphology. Germline clones reveal that LqfR expression in the somatic follicle cells is sufficient to rescue the oogenesis defects. Clones of mutant lqfR follicle cells have a decreased cell size consistent with a downregulation of Akt1. We find that while total Akt1 levels are increased there is also a significant decrease in activated phosphorylated Akt1.
