BACKGROUND Description PRPSAP2 is a protein that associates with the enzyme phosphoribosylpyrophosphate synthetase (PRS). PRS catalyzes the formation of phosphoribosylpyrophosphate which is a substrate for synthesis of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides, histidine, tryptophan and NAD. PRS exists as a complex with two catalytic subunits and two associated subunits. This gene encodes a non-catalytic associated subunit of PRS. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Recombinant human PRPSAP2 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques. 1 Recombinant human PRPSAP2 protein Catalog Number: ATGP2461 Amino acid Sequence MGSSHHHHHH SSGLVPRGSH MGSMFCVTPP ELETKMNITK GGLVLFSANS NSSCMELSKK IAERLGVEMG KVQVYQEPNR ETRVQIQESV RGKDVFIIQT VSKDVNTTIM ELLIMVYACK TSCAKSIIGV IPYFPYSKQC KMRKRGSIVS KLLASMMCKA GLTHLITMDL HQKEIQGFFN IPVDNLRASP FLLQYIQEEI PDYRNAVIVA KSPASAKRAQ SFAERLRLGI AVIHGEAQDA ESDLVDGRHS PPMVRSVAAI HPSLEIPMLI PKEKPPITVV GDVGGRIAII VDDIIDDVDS FLAAAETLKE RGAYKIFVMA THGLLSSDAP RRIEESAIDE VVVTNTIPHE VQKLQCPKIK TVDISMILSE AIRRIHNGES MSYLFRNIGL DD General References Katashima,R., et al.

Signature: Anushree Date: 30th November 2014 ii ABSTRACT The aim of the study was to identify molecular markers that can determine progression of low grade glioma. This was done using various approaches such as IDH1 and IDH2 mutation analysis, MGMT methylation analysis, copy number analysis using array comparative genomic hybridisation and identification of differentially expressed miRNAs using miRNA microarray analysis. IDH1 mutation was present at a frequency of 71% in low grade glioma and was identified as an independent marker for improved OS in a multivariate analysis, which confirms the previous findings in low grade glioma studies.

Genes in a Refined Smith-Magenis Syndrome Critical Deletion Interval on Chromosome 17P11.2 and the Syntenic Region of the Mouse
Downloaded from genome.cshlp.org on September 25, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Article Genes in a Refined Smith-Magenis Syndrome Critical Deletion Interval on Chromosome 17p11.2 and the Syntenic Region of the Mouse Weimin Bi,1,6 Jiong Yan,1,6 Paweł Stankiewicz,1 Sung-Sup Park,1,7 Katherina Walz,1 Cornelius F.

Most patients have the same ∼4 Mb interstitial genomic deletion within chromosome 17p11.2. To investigate the molecular bases of the SMS phenotype, we constructed BAC/PAC contigs covering the SMS common deletion interval and its syntenic region on mouse chromosome 11. Comparative genome analysis reveals the absence of all three ∼200-kb SMS-REP low-copy repeats in the mouse and indicates that the evolution of SMS-REPs was accompanied by transposition of adjacent genes. Physical and genetic map comparisons in humans reveal reduced recombination in both sexes. Moreover, by examining the deleted regions in SMS patients with unusual-sized deletions, we refined the minimal Smith-Magenis critical region (SMCR) to an ∼1.1-Mb genomic interval that is syntenic to an ∼1.0-Mb region in the mouse.

Supplemental Figure 1. CD27 Expression by CD30+ B Cells
Supplemental Figure 1. CD27 expression by CD30+ B cells. Tonsillar mononuclear cells were depleted of CD3+ T cells and enriched for CD30+ B cells by consecutive MACS isolation steps. The flow-through of the CD30-MACS enrichment was used to analyze CD30- B cells. Isolated B cells were stained for CD20, CD30, CD38, and CD27 or isotype control. Dot plots in panel A depict the gating strategy, and histograms show the staining patterns for CD27 and isotype control of the four subsets. In B, the mean fluorescence intensities (MFI) for CD27 of the four B cell subsets, as well as naive and plasma cells, are given for four tonsils analyzed. Graphs indicate mean ± SD. The MFI of the CD27 staining have been corrected for the respective values of the isotype control staining. As CD30- non-GC B cells include CD27- naïve B cells and CD27+ memory B cells, they show a biphasic CD27 expression. n.s., not significant; ** p<0.01 (unpaired t test). Supplemental Figure 2. Interleukin receptor expression by CD30+ B cells and relatedness of CD30+ EF B cells to CD21low B cells. mRNA and surface protein expression of IL2RB (A), IL21R (B) and CD21 (C) are shown for indicated B cell subsets of five tonsils (conventional (conv.) CD30- GC (germinal center) B cells (CD20highCD38+), CD30+ GC B cells, CD30- memory and CD30+ EF (extra follicular) B cells (CD20+CD38-/lowCD27+), and plasma cells (PC) (CD20+CD38high). mRNA data originate from Affymetrix genechip analyses (Tiacci et al., Blood, 2012; 120:4609-4620) and were analyzed using an unpaired t test.

Characterization of the Regulation of the Er Stress Response by the Dna Repair Enzyme Aag
DECIPHERING THE CROSSTALK: CHARACTERIZATION OF THE REGULATION OF THE ER STRESS RESPONSE BY THE DNA REPAIR ENZYME AAG Clara Forrer Charlier Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences Department of Biochemistry and Physiology This thesis is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy June 2018 DECIPHERING THE CROSSTALK: CHARACTERIZATION OF THE REGULATION OF THE ER STRESS RESPONSE BY THE DNA REPAIR ENZYME AAG- Clara Forrer Charlier – June 2018 SUMMARY The genome is a very dynamic store of genetic information and constantly threatened by endogenous and exogenous damaging agents. To maintain fidelity of the information stored, several robust and overlapping repair pathways, such as the Base Excision Repair (BER) pathway, have evolved. The main BER glycosylase responsible for repairing alkylation DNA damage is the alkyladenine DNA glycosylase (AAG). Repair initiated by AAG can lead to accumulation of cytotoxic intermediates. Here, we report the involvement of AAG in the elicitation of the unfolded protein response (UPR), a mechanism triggered to restore proteostasis in the cell whose dysfunction is implicated in diseases like diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease and cancer. Firstly, we determined that not only human ARPE-19 cells were capable of eliciting the UPR, but that an alkylating agent, methyl methanesulfonate (MMS), also triggers the response, and that in the absence of AAG the response is greatly diminished. Our luciferase reporter assay indicates that the response is activated on multiple branches (IRE1 and ATF6) on both AAG-proficient and deficient cells. Although no transcriptional induction of UPR markers was detected by RT-qPCR at 6 hours post MMS treatment, preliminary western-blot data at 6 and 24h, show activation of key UPR markers (p-eIF2α, BiP and XBP-1) upon MMS treatment in wild-type cells and little or no activation on AAG -/-.
