Abstract Background: The yak is an important source of livelihood for the people living in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Most genetics detection studies have focused on the comparison between different tissues of different breeds, both living in the Plateau and in the plains. The genetic background and complex regulatory relationship have frequently puzzled researchers. In this study, we divided a population of 10 yaks into two subgroups, namely Plateau (living in the Plateau) and Plain (living in the plains). -

Role of DCP1-DCP2 Complex Regulated by Viral and Host Micrornas in DNA Virus Infection T
Fish and Shellfish Immunology 92 (2019) 21–30 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Fish and Shellfish Immunology journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/fsi Full length article Role of DCP1-DCP2 complex regulated by viral and host microRNAs in DNA virus infection T ∗ Yuechao Sun, Xiaobo Zhang College of Life Sciences and Laboratory for Marine Biology and Biotechnology of Qingdao National Laboratory for Marine Science and Technology, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, 310058, People's Republic of China ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: The DCP1-DCP2 complex can regulate the antiviral immunity of animals by the decapping of retrovirus RNAs DCP1-DCP2 complex and the suppression of RNAi during RNA virus infection. However, the influence of DCP1-DCP2 complex on DNA miRNA virus infection and the regulation of DCP1-DCP2 complex by microRNAs (miRNAs) remain unclear. In this study, DNA virus infection the role of miRNA-regulated DCP1-DCP2 complex in DNA virus infection was characterized. Our results showed that the DCP1-DCP2 complex played a positive role in the infection of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), a DNA virus of shrimp. In the DCP1-DCP2 complex, the N-terminal regulatory domain of DCP2 was interacted with the EVH1 domain of DCP1. Furthermore, shrimp miRNA miR-87 inhibited WSSV infection by targeting the host DCP2 gene and viral miRNA WSSV-miR-N46 took a negative effect on WSSV replication by targeting the host DCP1 gene. Therefore, our study provided novel insights into the underlying mechanism of DCP1-DCP2 complex and its regulation by miRNAs in virus-host interactions. Importance: During RNA virus infection, the DCP1-DCP2 complex can play important roles in the animal anti- viral immunity by decapping retrovirus RNAs and suppressing RNAi. -
Analysis of Gene Expression Data for Gene Ontology
ANALYSIS OF GENE EXPRESSION DATA FOR GENE ONTOLOGY BASED PROTEIN FUNCTION PREDICTION A Thesis Presented to The Graduate Faculty of The University of Akron In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Robert Daniel Macholan May 2011 ANALYSIS OF GENE EXPRESSION DATA FOR GENE ONTOLOGY BASED PROTEIN FUNCTION PREDICTION Robert Daniel Macholan Thesis Approved: Accepted: _______________________________ _______________________________ Advisor Department Chair Dr. Zhong-Hui Duan Dr. Chien-Chung Chan _______________________________ _______________________________ Committee Member Dean of the College Dr. Chien-Chung Chan Dr. Chand K. Midha _______________________________ _______________________________ Committee Member Dean of the Graduate School Dr. Yingcai Xiao Dr. George R. Newkome _______________________________ Date ii ABSTRACT A tremendous increase in genomic data has encouraged biologists to turn to bioinformatics in order to assist in its interpretation and processing. One of the present challenges that need to be overcome in order to understand this data more completely is the development of a reliable method to accurately predict the function of a protein from its genomic information. This study focuses on developing an effective algorithm for protein function prediction. The algorithm is based on proteins that have similar expression patterns. The similarity of the expression data is determined using a novel measure, the slope matrix. The slope matrix introduces a normalized method for the comparison of expression levels throughout a proteome. The algorithm is tested using real microarray gene expression data. Their functions are characterized using gene ontology annotations. The results of the case study indicate the protein function prediction algorithm developed is comparable to the prediction algorithms that are based on the annotations of homologous proteins. -

Allele-Specific Expression of Ribosomal Protein Genes in Interspecific Hybrid Catfish
Allele-specific Expression of Ribosomal Protein Genes in Interspecific Hybrid Catfish by Ailu Chen A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama August 1, 2015 Keywords: catfish, interspecific hybrids, allele-specific expression, ribosomal protein Copyright 2015 by Ailu Chen Approved by Zhanjiang Liu, Chair, Professor, School of Fisheries, Aquaculture and Aquatic Sciences Nannan Liu, Professor, Entomology and Plant Pathology Eric Peatman, Associate Professor, School of Fisheries, Aquaculture and Aquatic Sciences Aaron M. Rashotte, Associate Professor, Biological Sciences Abstract Interspecific hybridization results in a vast reservoir of allelic variations, which may potentially contribute to phenotypical enhancement in the hybrids. Whether the allelic variations are related to the downstream phenotypic differences of interspecific hybrid is still an open question. The recently developed genome-wide allele-specific approaches that harness high- throughput sequencing technology allow direct quantification of allelic variations and gene expression patterns. In this work, I investigated allele-specific expression (ASE) pattern using RNA-Seq datasets generated from interspecific catfish hybrids. The objective of the study is to determine the ASE genes and pathways in which they are involved. Specifically, my study investigated ASE-SNPs, ASE-genes, parent-of-origins of ASE allele and how ASE would possibly contribute to heterosis. My data showed that ASE was operating in the interspecific catfish system. Of the 66,251 and 177,841 SNPs identified from the datasets of the liver and gill, 5,420 (8.2%) and 13,390 (7.5%) SNPs were identified as significant ASE-SNPs, respectively. -

Virta1, Samuel M. Hayes1, Yuichiro Nomura1, David A. Brow2, Samuel E. Butcher1 1Department of Biochemistry, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI, USA. 2Department of Biomolecular Chemistry, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Madison, WI, USA. Correspondence should be addressed to E.J.M. ([email protected]) and S.E.B. ([email protected]). Abstract Eukaryotes possess eight highly conserved Lsm (like Sm) proteins that assemble into circular, heteroheptameric complexes, bind RNA, and direct a diverse range of biological processes. Among the many essential functions of Lsm proteins, the cytoplasmic Lsm1-7 complex initiates mRNA decay, while the nuclear Lsm2-8 complex acts as a chaperone for U6 spliceosomal RNA. It has been unclear how these complexes perform their distinct functions while differing by only one out of seven subunits. Here, we elucidate the molecular basis for Lsm-RNA recognition and present four high-resolution structures of Lsm complexes bound to RNAs. The structures of Lsm2-8 bound to RNA identify the unique 2′,3′ cyclic phosphate end of U6 as a prime determinant of specificity. In contrast, the Lsm1-7 complex strongly discriminates against cyclic phosphates and tightly binds to oligouridylate tracts with terminal purines. -

INVESTIGATING THE COUPLING MECHANISM IN THE E. COLI MULTIDRUG TRANSPORTER, MdfA, BY FLUORESCENCE SPECTROSCOPY N. Fluman, D. Cohen-Karni, E. Bibi Department of Biological Chemistry, Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel In bacteria, multidrug transporters couple the energetically favored import of protons to export of chemically-dissimilar drugs (substrates) from the cell. By this function, they render bacteria resistant against multiple drugs. In this work, fluorescence spectroscopy of purified protein is used to unravel the mechanism of coupling between protons and substrates in MdfA, an E. coli multidrug transporter. Intrinsic fluorescence of MdfA revealed that binding of an MdfA substrate, tetraphenylphosphonium (TPP), induced a conformational change in this transporter. The measured affinity of MdfA-TPP was increased in basic pH, raising a possibility that TPP might bind tighter to the deprotonated state of MdfA. Similar increases in affinity of TPP also occurred (1) in the presence of the substrate chloramphenicol, or (2) when MdfA is covalently labeled by the fluorophore monobromobimane at a putative chloramphenicol interacting site. We favor a mechanism by which basic pH, chloramphenicol binding, or labeling with monobromobimane, all induce a conformational change in MdfA, which results in deprotonation of the transporter and increase in the affinity of TPP.

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.
