Mouse Rabac1 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Rabac1 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Rabac1 knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Rabac1 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_010261 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000003380 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 7. 5 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TAA stop codon in exon 5 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000076961). Exon 1~5 will be selected as target site. Cas9 and gRNA will be co-injected into fertilized eggs for KO Mouse production. The pups will be genotyped by PCR followed by sequencing analysis. Note: Exon 1 starts from about 0.18% of the coding region. Exon 1~5 covers 100.0% of the coding region. The size of effective KO region: ~2657 bp. The KO region does not have any other known gene.

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.

  • Genome-Wide Rnai Screening Identifies Human Proteins with A
    RESOURCES Genome-wide RNAi screening identifies human proteins with a regulatory function in the early secretory pathway Jeremy C. Simpson1,7, Brigitte Joggerst2, Vibor Laketa2, Fatima Verissimo2, Cihan Cetin2, Holger Erfle2,6, Mariana G. Bexiga1, Vasanth R. Singan1, Jean-Karim Hériché3, Beate Neumann3, Alvaro Mateos2, Jonathon Blake4, Stephanie Bechtel5, Vladimir Benes4, Stefan Wiemann5, Jan Ellenberg2,3 and Rainer Pepperkok2,7 The secretory pathway in mammalian cells has evolved to facilitate the transfer of cargo molecules to internal and cell surface membranes. Use of automated microscopy-based genome-wide RNA interference screens in cultured human cells allowed us to identify 554 proteins influencing secretion. Cloning, fluorescent-tagging and subcellular localization analysis of 179 of these proteins revealed that more than two-thirds localize to either the cytoplasm or membranes of the secretory and endocytic pathways. The depletion of 143 of them resulted in perturbations in the organization of the COPII and/or COPI vesicular coat complexes of the early secretory pathway, or the morphology of the Golgi complex. Network analyses revealed a so far unappreciated link between early secretory pathway function, small GTP-binding protein regulation, actin cytoskeleton organization and EGF-receptor-mediated signalling. This work provides an important resource for an integrative understanding of global cellular organization and regulation of the secretory pathway in mammalian cells. Within higher eukaryotic cells membrane traffic pathways connect the Extensive efforts over many years have revealed a significant number various membrane-bounded organelles, thereby ensuring that they of regulators associated with the secretory pathway.

It has been shown that PRA1 interacts with Rab proteins and with VAMP2. Therefore PRA1 is probably an important factor for membrane traffic, linking together the function of Rab proteins and SNAREs (1). Human cells contain more than 60 small G proteins of the Rab family, which are localized to the surfaces of distinct membrane compartments and regulate transport vesicle formation, motility, docking and fusion. Prenylated Rabs also occur in the cytosol bound to GDI (guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitor), which binds to Rabs in their inactive state (2). Synonyms: PRA1; PRAF1; YIP3 This product is to be used for laboratory only.

  • The Role of Lamin Associated Domains in Global Chromatin Organization and Nuclear Architecture
    THE ROLE OF LAMIN ASSOCIATED DOMAINS IN GLOBAL CHROMATIN ORGANIZATION AND NUCLEAR ARCHITECTURE By Teresa Romeo Luperchio A dissertation submitted to The Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland March 2016 © 2016 Teresa Romeo Luperchio All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Nuclear structure and scaffolding have been implicated in expression and regulation of the genome (Elcock and Bridger 2010; Fedorova and Zink 2008; Ferrai et al. 2010; Li and Reinberg 2011; Austin and Bellini 2010). Discrete domains of chromatin exist within the nuclear volume, and are suggested to be organized by patterns of gene activity (Zhao, Bodnar, and Spector 2009). The nuclear periphery, which consists of the inner nuclear membrane and associated proteins, forms a sub- nuclear compartment that is mostly associated with transcriptionally repressed chromatin and low gene expression (Guelen et al. 2008). Previous studies from our lab and others have shown that repositioning genes to the nuclear periphery is sufficient to induce transcriptional repression (K L Reddy et al. 2008; Finlan et al. 2008). In addition, a number of studies have provided evidence that many tissue types, including muscle, brain and blood, use the nuclear periphery as a compartment during development to regulate expression of lineage specific genes (Meister et al. 2010; Szczerbal, Foster, and Bridger 2009; Yao et al. 2011; Kosak et al. 2002; Peric-Hupkes et al. 2010). These large regions of chromatin that come in molecular contact with the nuclear periphery are called Lamin Associated Domains (LADs). The studies described in this dissertation have furthered our understanding of maintenance and establishment of LADs as well as the relationship of LADs with the epigenome and other factors that influence three-dimensional chromatin structure.

  • Praf2 Is a Novel Bcl-Xl/Bcl-2 Interacting Protein with the Ability to Modulate Survival of Cancer Cells
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by PubMed Central Praf2 Is a Novel Bcl-xL/Bcl-2 Interacting Protein with the Ability to Modulate Survival of Cancer Cells Maria Teresa Vento1., Valeria Zazzu1.¤a, Alessia Loffreda1, Justin R. Cross2¤b, Julian Downward2, Maria Patrizia Stoppelli1, Ingram Iaccarino1* 1 Institute of Genetics and Biophysics ‘‘Adriano Buzzati-Traverso,’’ Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR), Naples, Italy, 2 Signal Transduction Laboratory, Cancer Research UK, London Research Institute, London, United Kingdom Abstract Increased expression of Bcl-xL in cancer has been shown to confer resistance to a broad range of apoptotic stimuli and to modulate a number of other aspects of cellular physiology, including energy metabolism, cell cycle, autophagy, mitochondrial fission/fusion and cellular adhesion. However, only few of these activities have a mechanistic explanation. Here we used Tandem Affinity purification to identify novel Bcl-xL interacting proteins that could explain the pleiotropic effects of Bcl-xL overexpression. Among the several proteins co-purifying with Bcl-xL, we focused on Praf2, a protein with a predicted role in trafficking. The interaction of Praf2 with Bcl-xL was found to be dependent on the transmembrane domain of Bcl-xL. We found that Bcl-2 also interacts with Praf2 and that Bcl-xL and Bcl-2 can interact also with Arl6IP5, an homologue of Praf2. Interestingly, overexpression of Praf2 results in the translocation of Bax to mitochondria and the induction of apoptotic cell death. Praf2 dependent cell death is prevented by the co-transfection of Bcl-xL but not by its transmembrane domain deleted mutant.

Patterns of Sequence Conservation in Presynaptic Neural Genes Abstract Background: The neuronal synapse is a fundamental functional unit in the central nervous system of animals. Because synaptic function is evolutionarily conserved, we reasoned that functional sequences of genes and related genomic elements known to play important roles in neurotransmitter release would also be conserved. Results: Evolutionary rate analysis revealed that presynaptic proteins evolve slowly, although some members of large gene families exhibit accelerated evolutionary rates relative to other family members. Comparative sequence analysis of 46 megabases spanning 150 presynaptic genes identified more than 26,000 elements that are highly conserved in eight vertebrate species, as well as a small subset of sequences (6%) that are shared among unrelated presynaptic genes.

Western blot and IPs show a band consistent with expected size (88 kDa) of STAT3. (A) Western blot using antibody sc-482 versus nuclear lysates. Lanes contain (from left to right) lysate from K562 cells, GM12878 cells, HeLa S3 cells, and HepG2 cells. (B) IP of STAT3 using sc-482 in HeLa S3 cells. Lane 1: input nuclear lysate; lane 2: unbound material from IP with sc-482; lane 3: material IP’d with sc-482; lane 4: material IP’d using control rabbit IgG. Arrow indicates the band of interest.
