Mouse Npat Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Npat Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Npat conditional knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Npat gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_001081152 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000033054 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 9. 18 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TGA stop codon in exon 18 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000035850). Exon 2 will be selected as conditional knockout region (cKO region). Deletion of this region should result in the loss of function of the Mouse Npat gene. To engineer the targeting vector, homologous arms and cKO region will be generated by PCR using BAC clone RP23-407K6 as template. Cas9, gRNA and targeting vector will be co-injected into fertilized eggs for cKO Mouse production. The pups will be genotyped by PCR followed by sequencing analysis. Note: Homozygous null embryos fail to proceed from the morula to blastocyst stage and have an uncompacted appearance. Exon 2 starts from about 0.89% of the coding region. The knockout of Exon 2 will result in frameshift of the gene. The size of intron 1 for 5'-loxP site insertion: 7979 bp, and the size of intron 2 for 3'-loxP site insertion: 3623 bp. The size of effective cKO region: ~619 bp. The cKO region does not have any other known gene.

In addition to many shared regulators, we found that tumor and normal cells are differentially sensitive to loss of the histone genes transcriptional regulator CASP8AP2. In cancer cells, loss of CASP8AP2 leads to a failure to synthesize sufficient amount of histones in the S-phase of the cell cycle, resulting in slowing of individual replication forks. Despite this, DNA replication fails to arrest, and tumor cells progress in an elongated S-phase that lasts several days, finally resulting in death of most of the affected cells.

  • Newly Identified Gon4l/Udu-Interacting Proteins
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Newly identifed Gon4l/ Udu‑interacting proteins implicate novel functions Su‑Mei Tsai1, Kuo‑Chang Chu1 & Yun‑Jin Jiang1,2,3,4,5* Mutations of the Gon4l/udu gene in diferent organisms give rise to diverse phenotypes. Although the efects of Gon4l/Udu in transcriptional regulation have been demonstrated, they cannot solely explain the observed characteristics among species. To further understand the function of Gon4l/Udu, we used yeast two‑hybrid (Y2H) screening to identify interacting proteins in zebrafsh and mouse systems, confrmed the interactions by co‑immunoprecipitation assay, and found four novel Gon4l‑interacting proteins: BRCA1 associated protein‑1 (Bap1), DNA methyltransferase 1 (Dnmt1), Tho complex 1 (Thoc1, also known as Tho1 or HPR1), and Cryptochrome circadian regulator 3a (Cry3a). Furthermore, all known Gon4l/Udu‑interacting proteins—as found in this study, in previous reports, and in online resources—were investigated by Phenotype Enrichment Analysis. The most enriched phenotypes identifed include increased embryonic tissue cell apoptosis, embryonic lethality, increased T cell derived lymphoma incidence, decreased cell proliferation, chromosome instability, and abnormal dopamine level, characteristics that largely resemble those observed in reported Gon4l/udu mutant animals. Similar to the expression pattern of udu, those of bap1, dnmt1, thoc1, and cry3a are also found in the brain region and other tissues. Thus, these fndings indicate novel mechanisms of Gon4l/ Udu in regulating CpG methylation, histone expression/modifcation, DNA repair/genomic stability, and RNA binding/processing/export. Gon4l is a nuclear protein conserved among species. Animal models from invertebrates to vertebrates have shown that the protein Gon4-like (Gon4l) is essential for regulating cell proliferation and diferentiation.

  • THE ROLE of HISTONE LOCUS BODY (HLB) ASSEMBLY and the CELL CYCLE in HISTONE Mrna BIOSYNTHESIS
    THE ROLE OF HISTONE LOCUS BODY (HLB) ASSEMBLY AND THE CELL CYCLE IN HISTONE mRNA BIOSYNTHESIS Esteban Alejandro Terzo A dissertation submitted in the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Biology. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Robert J. Duronio William F. Marzluff Jeff Sekelsky Jean Cook Greg Matera © 2015 Esteban Alejandro Terzo ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Esteban Alejandro Terzo: The role of histone locus body (HLB) assembly and the cell cycle in histone mRNA biosynthesis (Under the direction of Robert J. Duronio) The spatial compartmentalization of nuclear processes such as transcription, ribosome biogenesis, cellular response to stress, and histone mRNA biosynthesis into discrete territories is essential for precisely orchestrating diverse gene expression programs. The genome organizes structures called nuclear bodies (NBs) that concentrate factors (proteins, RNA, and Ribonucleoproteins) required for the efficient regulation of gene expression. The levels of the molecular components that constitute NBs fluctuate due to a continuous exchange with the nucleoplasm in response to diverse physiological inputs. Therefore, gaining insight into how NBs assemble and function is essential for understanding their contribution to genome function. We used the Drosophila histone locus body (HLB) as a model to ask how HLB assembly and function contribute to the replication-dependent histone gene expression. HLBs form at the histone locus and concentrate factors required for histone mRNA biosynthesis. In addition, CycE/Cdk2 is known to be required for cell cycle-dependent histone mRNA biosynthesis. Our laboratory previously demonstrated that the Multi Sex Combs (Mxc) protein is required for HLB assembly and efficient histone mRNA biosynthesis and is also phosphorylated by CycE/Cdk2.

ABSTRACT Epigenetic reprogramming is necessary in somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) embryos in KEYWORDS order to erase the differentiation-associated epigenetic marks of donor cells. However, such epigenetic RNA-seq memories often persist throughout the course of clonal development, thus decreasing cloning efficiency. SCNT Here, we explored reprogramming-refractory regions in bovine SCNT blastocyst transcriptomes. We HIST1 cluster observed that histone genes residing in the 1.5 Mb spanning the cow HIST1 cluster were coordinately reprogramming downregulated in SCNT blastocysts. In contrast, both the nonhistone genes of this cluster, and histone epigenetics genes elsewhere remained unaffected. This indicated that the downregulation was specifictoHIST1 histone HDAC inhibitor genes. We found that, after trichostatin A treatment, HIST1 histone genes were derepressed, and DNA DNA methylation methylation at their promoters was decreased to the level of in vitro fertilization embryos. Therefore, our results indicate that the reduced expression of HIST1 histone genes is a consequence of poor epigenetic reprogramming in SCNT blastocysts. Successful cloning by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) depends and SCNT blastocysts (Min et al. 2015). Additionally, we also reported onaccuratereprogrammingprocessesinwhichthedifferentiatedstateof features unique to SCNT blastocysts, including consistently aberrant the donor cell genome drifts to a totipotent, embryonic ground state expression of genes that function in either trophectoderm development (Kang et al.
