4-6 Weeks Old Female C57BL/6 Mice Obtained from Jackson Labs Were Used for Cell Isolation
Methods Mice: 4-6 weeks old female C57BL/6 mice obtained from Jackson labs were used for cell isolation. Female Foxp3-IRES-GFP reporter mice (1), backcrossed to B6/C57 background for 10 generations, were used for the isolation of naïve CD4 and naïve CD8 cells for the RNAseq experiments. The mice were housed in pathogen-free animal facility in the La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology and were used according to protocols approved by the Institutional Animal Care and use Committee. Preparation of cells: Subsets of thymocytes were isolated by cell sorting as previously described (2), after cell surface staining using CD4 (GK1.5), CD8 (53-6.7), CD3ε (145- 2C11), CD24 (M1/69) (all from Biolegend). DP cells: CD4+CD8 int/hi; CD4 SP cells: CD4CD3 hi, CD24 int/lo; CD8 SP cells: CD8 int/hi CD4 CD3 hi, CD24 int/lo (Fig S2). Peripheral subsets were isolated after pooling spleen and lymph nodes. T cells were enriched by negative isolation using Dynabeads (Dynabeads untouched mouse T cells, 11413D, Invitrogen). After surface staining for CD4 (GK1.5), CD8 (53-6.7), CD62L (MEL-14), CD25 (PC61) and CD44 (IM7), naïve CD4+CD62L hiCD25-CD44lo and naïve CD8+CD62L hiCD25-CD44lo were obtained by sorting (BD FACS Aria). Additionally, for the RNAseq experiments, CD4 and CD8 naïve cells were isolated by sorting T cells from the Foxp3- IRES-GFP mice: CD4+CD62LhiCD25–CD44lo GFP(FOXP3)– and CD8+CD62LhiCD25– CD44lo GFP(FOXP3)– (antibodies were from Biolegend). In some cases, naïve CD4 cells were cultured in vitro under Th1 or Th2 polarizing conditions (3, 4). -

KOWALik1) and Jan KOTWica1) 1)Institute of Animal Reproduction and Food Research, Polish Academy of Sciences, 10-747 Olsztyn, Poland Abstract. The aim of this study was to investigate the (1) expression of progesterone membrane component 1 (PGRMC1), serpine mRNA binding protein 1 (SERBP1) and progesterone receptor (PR) mRNA and (2) protein expression levels of PGRMC1, SERBP1 and PR isoforms A and B in the bovine myometrium during the estrous cycle and early pregnancy. Uteri from cows on days 1–5, 6–10, 11–16 and 17–21 of the estrous cycle and weeks 3–5, 6–8 and 9–12 of pregnancy were used (n=5–6 per period). There were no changes (P>0.05) in PGRMC1 mRNA expression during the estrous cycle, while expression of SERBP1 and PR mRNA was the lowest (P<0.05) on days 11–16 relative to other days of the cycle. The highest mRNA expression of PGRMC1, SERBP1 and PR was found during pregnancy. There were no changes (P>0.05) in SERBP1 protein expression in cycling and pregnant cows, while the highest (P<0.05) PGRMC1 protein expression was found during weeks 3–5 of pregnancy. Similar protein expression profiles for PRA and PRB were found, and protein levels were highest on days 1–5 of the estrous cycle. -

Essential Genes And Their Role In Autism Spectrum Disorder Abstract Essential genes (EGs) play central roles in fundamental cellular processes and are required for the survival of an organism. EGs are enriched for human disease genes and are under strong purifying selection. This intolerance to deleterious mutations, commonly observed haploinsufficiency and the importance of EGs in pre- and postnatal development suggests a possible cumulative effect of deleterious variants in EGs on complex neurodevelopmental disorders. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a heterogeneous, highly heritable neurodevelopmental syndrome characterized by impaired social interaction, communication and repetitive behavior. More and more genetic evidence points to a polygenic model of ASD and it is estimated that hundreds of genes contribute to ASD. The central question addressed in this dissertation is whether genes with a strong effect on survival and fitness (i.e. EGs) play a specific oler in ASD risk. I compiled a comprehensive catalog of 3,915 mammalian EGs by combining human orthologs of lethal genes in knockout mice and genes responsible for cell-based essentiality. -

Investigating the Molecular Mechanisms of Splicing-Perturbing Small Molecules with Massively Parallel Sequencing in a Myotonic Dystrophy 1 Model
INVESTIGATING THE MOLECULAR MECHANISMS OF SPLICING-PERTURBING SMALL MOLECULES WITH MASSIVELY PARALLEL SEQUENCING IN A MYOTONIC DYSTROPHY 1 MODEL by MATTHEW TANNER A THESIS Presented to the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the Robert D. Clark Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science June, 2014 An Abstract of the Thesis of Matthew Tanner for the degree of Bachelor of Science in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry to be taken June, 2014 Title: Investigating the Molecular Mechanisms of Splicing-Perturbing Small Molecules with Massively Parallel Sequencing in a Myotonic Dystrophy 1 Model Approved: 4 fhh 73cJ-i J. Andrew Berglund Myotonic dystrophy is the most common form of adult-onset muscular dystrophy and appears in two forms: myotonic dystrophy 1 (OM 1) and 2 (DM2). Both diseases arc characterized by progressive muscle degeneration, myotonia. iridescent cataracts, and in severe cases neurodcgcncration and cardiac dysfunction. Both fonns of myotonic dystrophy arc caused by an expansion of repeat DNA in distinct loci in the genome. In DM 1, a CTG repeat is expanded from less than 50 repeats in nonnal individuals to up to several thousand repeats in DM 1 patients. The molecular basis of this disease relics on the transcription of these repeats from DNA into RNA. Small molecules that can specifically target the repeats at the DNA level and inhibit their transcription - and thus alleviate the disease symptoms - represent a prime target for the development of therapeutics. This study investigates the capacity of two small molecules, pentamidine and actinomycin D, to reverse the molecular symptoms of DM I through transcriptional inhibition and provides insight into their DNA target specificity and potential mechanisms of action. -
The Mrna-Binding Protein Serbp1 As an Auxiliary Protein Associated with Mammalian Cytoplasmic Ribosomes
The mRNA-binding protein Serbp1 as an auxiliary protein associated with mammalian cytoplasmic ribosomes Akiko Muto, Yoshihiko Sugihara, Minami Shibakawa, Kenzi Oshima, Tsukasa Matsuda, and Daita Nadano* Department of Applied Molecular Biosciences, Graduate School of Bioagricultural Sciences, Nagoya University, Nagoya 464-8601, Japan Short title: Serbp1 in mammalian cytoplasmic ribosomes * Correspondence to: Daita Nadano, Ph.

Selective translation is supposed to be regulated by the structural heterogeneity of cytoplasmic ribosomes including differences in protein composition and chemical modifications. However the current knowledge on the heterogeneity of mammalian ribosomes is limited. Here we report mammalian Serbp1 as a ribosome-associated protein. The translated products of Serbp1 gene, including the longest isoform, were found to be localized in the nucleolus as well as in the cytoplasm. Subcellular fractionation indicated that most of cytoplasmic Serbp1 molecules were precipitated by ultracentrifugation. Proteomic analysis identified Serbp1 in the cytoplasmic ribosomes of the rodent testis. Polysome profiling suggested that Serbp1, as a component of the small 40S subunit, was included in translating ribosomes (polysomes). Co-sedimentation of Serbp1 with the 40S subunit was observed after dissociation of the ribosomal subunits. -

Overexpression of SERBP1 (Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor 1
Serce et al. BMC Cancer 2012, 12:597 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2407/12/597 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Overexpression of SERBP1 (Plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 RNA binding protein) in human breast cancer is correlated with favourable prognosis Nuran Bektas Serce1, Andreas Boesl2, Irina Klaman3, Sonja von Serényi4, Erik Noetzel4, Michael F Press5, Arno Dimmler6, Arndt Hartmann7, Jalid Sehouli8, Ruth Knuechel4, Matthias W Beckmann9, Peter A Fasching9,10 and Edgar Dahl4* Abstract Background: Plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) overexpression is an important prognostic and predictive biomarker in human breast cancer. SERBP1, a protein that is supposed to regulate the stability of PAI-1 mRNA, may play a role in gynaecological cancers as well, since upregulation of SERBP1 was described in ovarian cancer recently. This is the first study to present a systematic characterisation of SERBP1 expression in human breast cancer and normal breast tissue at both the mRNA and the protein level. Methods: Using semiquantitative realtime PCR we analysed SERBP1 expression in different normal human tissues (n = 25), and in matched pairs of normal (n = 7) and cancerous breast tissues (n = 7). SERBP1 protein expression was analysed in two independent cohorts on tissue microarrays (TMAs), an initial evaluation set, consisting of 193 breast carcinomas and 48 normal breast tissues, and a second large validation set, consisting of 605 breast carcinomas. In addition, a collection of benign (n = 2) and malignant (n = 6) mammary cell lines as well as breast carcinoma lysates (n = 16) were investigated for SERBP1 expression by Western blot analysis. Furthermore, applying non-radioisotopic in situ hybridisation a subset of normal (n = 10) and cancerous (n = 10) breast tissue specimens from the initial TMA were analysed for SERBP1 mRNA expression. -

3' UTR-Isoform Choice Has Limited Influence on the Stability and Translational Efficiency of Most Mrnas in Mouse Fibroblasts

Here, we obtained global measurements of decay and translation rates for mRNAs with alternative 3' untranslated regions (3' UTRs) in murine 3T3 cells. Distal tandem isoforms had slightly but significantly lower mRNA stability and greater translational efficiency than proximal isoforms on average. The diversity of alternative 3' UTRs also enabled inference and evaluation of both positively and negatively acting cis regulatory elements. The 3' UTR elements with the greatest implied influence were microRNA complementary sites, which were associated with repression of 32% and 4% at the stability and translational levels, respectively. Nonetheless, both the decay and translation rates were highly correlated for proximal and distal 3' UTR isoforms from the same genes, implying that in 3T3 cells alternative 3' UTR sequences play a surprisingly small regulatory role compared to other mRNA regions.
