  • Functional Characterization of the New 8Q21 Asthma Risk Locus
    Functional characterization of the new 8q21 Asthma risk locus Cristina M T Vicente B.Sc, M.Sc A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2017 Faculty of Medicine Abstract Genome wide association studies (GWAS) provide a powerful tool to identify genetic variants associated with asthma risk. However, the target genes for many allergy risk variants discovered to date are unknown. In a recent GWAS, Ferreira et al. identified a new association between asthma risk and common variants located on chromosome 8q21. The overarching aim of this thesis was to elucidate the biological mechanisms underlying this association. Specifically, the goals of this study were to identify the gene(s) underlying the observed association and to study their contribution to asthma pathophysiology. Using genetic data from the 1000 Genomes Project, we first identified 118 variants in linkage disequilibrium (LD; r2>0.6) with the sentinel allergy risk SNP (rs7009110) on chromosome 8q21. Of these, 35 were found to overlap one of four Putative Regulatory Elements (PREs) identified in this region in a lymphoblastoid cell line (LCL), based on epigenetic marks measured by the ENCODE project. Results from analysis of gene expression data generated for LCLs (n=373) by the Geuvadis consortium indicated that rs7009110 is associated with the expression of only one nearby gene: PAG1 - located 732 kb away. PAG1 encodes a transmembrane adaptor protein localized to lipid rafts, which is highly expressed in immune cells. Results from chromosome conformation capture (3C) experiments showed that PREs in the region of association physically interacted with the promoter of PAG1.

  • Abl P210 and P190 Kinases in Leukemia Cells Defined By
    OPEN Leukemia (2017) 31, 1502–1512 www.nature.com/leu ORIGINAL ARTICLE Differential signaling networks of Bcr–Abl p210 and p190 kinases in leukemia cells defined by functional proteomics S Reckel1, R Hamelin2, S Georgeon1, F Armand2, Q Jolliet2, D Chiappe2, M Moniatte2 and O Hantschel1 The two major isoforms of the oncogenic Bcr–Abl tyrosine kinase, p210 and p190, are expressed upon the Philadelphia chromosome translocation. p210 is the hallmark of chronic myelogenous leukemia, whereas p190 occurs in the majority of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Differences in protein interactions and activated signaling pathways that may be associated with the different diseases driven by p210 and p190 are unknown. We have performed a quantitative comparative proteomics study of p210 and p190. Strong differences in the interactome and tyrosine phosphoproteome were found and validated. Whereas the AP2 adaptor complex that regulates clathrin-mediated endocytosis interacts preferentially with p190, the phosphatase Sts1 is enriched with p210. Stronger activation of the Stat5 transcription factor and the Erk1/2 kinases is observed with p210, whereas Lyn kinase is activated by p190. Our findings provide a more coherent understanding of Bcr–Abl signaling, mechanisms of leukemic transformation, resulting disease pathobiology and responses to kinase inhibitors.

ABL tyrosine kinases play an oncogenic role in human leukemias. However, the role of ABL kinases in solid tumors including breast cancer progression and metastasis is just emerging. To evaluate whether ABL family kinases are involved in breast cancer development and metastasis, we first analyzed genomic data from large-scale screen of breast cancer patients. We found that ABL kinases are up-regulated in invasive breast cancer patients and high expression of ABL kinases correlates with poor prognosis and early metastasis.

Received: 15 January 2019; Accepted: 1 April 2019; Published: 9 April 2019 Abstract: Proline-rich extensin-like receptor kinases (PERKs) are an important class of receptor kinases in plants. Receptor kinases comprise large gene families in many plant species, including the 15 PERK genes in Arabidopsis. At present, there is no comprehensive published study of PERK genes in G. hirsutum. Our study identified 33 PERK genes in G. hirsutum. Phylogenetic analysis of conserved PERK protein sequences from 15 plant species grouped them into four well defined clades. The GhPERK gene family is an evolutionarily advanced gene family that lost its introns over time. Several cis-elements were identified in the promoter regions of the GhPERK genes that are important in regulating growth, development, light responses and the response to several stresses.

Here we demonstrate that mouse pancreas size and islet β cell function are controlled by the ATP-dependent Swi/Snf chromatin remodeling coregulatory complex that physically associates with Pdx1, a diabetes- linked transcription factor essential to pancreatic morphogenesis and adult islet-cell function and maintenance. Early embryonic deletion of just the Swi/Snf Brg1 ATPase subunit reduced multipotent pancreatic progenitor cell proliferation and resulted in pancreas hypoplasia. In contrast, removal of both Swi/Snf ATPase subunits, Brg1 and Brm, was necessary to compromise adult islet β cell activity, which included whole animal glucose intolerance, hyperglycemia and impaired insulin secretion. Notably, lineage-tracing analysis revealed Swi/Snf-deficient β cells lost the ability to produce the mRNAs for insulin and other key metabolic genes without effecting the expression of many essential islet-enriched transcription factors.
