  • Virtual 2-D Map of the Fungal Proteome
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Virtual 2‑D map of the fungal proteome Tapan Kumar Mohanta1,6*, Awdhesh Kumar Mishra2,6, Adil Khan1, Abeer Hashem3,4, Elsayed Fathi Abd‑Allah5 & Ahmed Al‑Harrasi1* The molecular weight and isoelectric point (pI) of the proteins plays important role in the cell. Depending upon the shape, size, and charge, protein provides its functional role in diferent parts of the cell. Therefore, understanding to the knowledge of their molecular weight and charges is (pI) is very important. Therefore, we conducted a proteome‑wide analysis of protein sequences of 689 fungal species (7.15 million protein sequences) and construct a virtual 2‑D map of the fungal proteome. The analysis of the constructed map revealed the presence of a bimodal distribution of fungal proteomes. The molecular mass of individual fungal proteins ranged from 0.202 to 2546.166 kDa and the predicted isoelectric point (pI) ranged from 1.85 to 13.759 while average molecular weight of fungal proteome was 50.98 kDa. A non‑ribosomal peptide synthase (RFU80400.1) found in Trichoderma arundinaceum was identifed as the largest protein in the fungal kingdom. The collective fungal proteome is dominated by the presence of acidic rather than basic pI proteins and Leu is the most abundant amino acid while Cys is the least abundant amino acid. Aspergillus ustus encodes the highest percentage (76.62%) of acidic pI proteins while Nosema ceranae was found to encode the highest percentage (66.15%) of basic pI proteins. Selenocysteine and pyrrolysine amino acids were not found in any of the analysed fungal proteomes.

ALWINE* Department of Microbiology, School of Medicine/G2, UnivSersity of Pennsylvania, Phtiladelphia, Pennsylvania /9104 Received 3 April 1984/Accepted 8 May 1984 The hexanucleotide AAUAAA has been demonstrated to be part of the signal for cleavage and polyadenyla- tion at appropriate sites on eucaryotic mRNA precursors. Since this sequence is not unique to polyadenylation sites, it cannot be the entire signal for the cleavage event. We have extended the definition of the polyadenylation cleavage signal by examining the cleavage event at the site of polyadenylation for the simian virus 40 late mRNAs. Using viable mutants, we have determined that deletion of sequences between 3 and 60 nucleotides on the 3' side of the AAUAAA decreases the efficiency of utilization of the normal polyadenylation site. These data strongly indicate a second major element of the polyadenylation signal. The phenotype of these deletion mutants is an enrichment of viral late transcripts longer than the normally polyadenylated RNA in infected cells. These extended transcripts appear to have an increased half-life due to the less efficient cleavage at the normal polyadenylation site. The enriched levels of extended transcripts in cells infected with the deletion mutants allowed us to examine regions of the late transcript which normally are difficult to study. The extended transcripts have several discrete 3' ends which we have analyzed in relation to polyadenylation and other RNA processing events.

  • Cellular Proteomes Drive Tissue-Specific Regulation of The
    INVESTIGATION Cellular Proteomes Drive Tissue-Specific Regulation of the Heat Shock Response Jian Ma,1 Christopher E. Grant,1 Rosemary N. Plagens, Lindsey N. Barrett, Karen S. Kim Guisbert, and Eric Guisbert2 Department of Biological Sciences, Florida Institute of Technology, Melbourne, Florida 32901 ORCID ID: 0000-0003-1901-5598 (E.G.) ABSTRACT The heat shock response (HSR) is a cellular stress response that senses protein misfolding and KEYWORDS restores protein folding homeostasis, or proteostasis. We previously identified an HSR regulatory network in stress response Caenorhabditis elegans consisting of highly conserved genes that have important cellular roles in main- protein folding taining proteostasis. Unexpectedly, the effects of these genes on the HSR are distinctly tissue-specific. Here, proteostasis we explore this apparent discrepancy and find that muscle-specific regulation of the HSR by the TRiC/CCT HSF1 chaperonin is not driven by an enrichment of TRiC/CCT in muscle, but rather by the levels of one of its most heat shock abundant substrates, actin. Knockdown of actin subunits reduces induction of the HSR in muscle upon TRiC/ response CCT knockdown; conversely, overexpression of an actin subunit sensitizes the intestine so that it induces the HSR upon TRiC/CCT knockdown. Similarly, intestine-specific HSR regulation by the signal recognition particle (SRP), a component of the secretory pathway, is driven by the vitellogenins, some of the most abundant secretory proteins. Together, these data indicate that the specific protein folding requirements from the unique cellular proteomes sensitizes each tissue to disruption of distinct subsets of the proteostasis network. These findings are relevant for tissue-specific, HSR-associated human diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.

  • The Death-Associated Protein DAXX Is a Novel Histone Chaperone Involved in the Replication-Independent Deposition of H3.3
    Downloaded from genesdev.cshlp.org on October 3, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press The death-associated protein DAXX is a novel histone chaperone involved in the replication-independent deposition of H3.3 Pascal Drane´,1 Khalid Ouararhni, Arnaud Depaux, Muhammad Shuaib, and Ali Hamiche2 IGMBC (Institut de Ge´ne´tique et de Biologie Mole´culaire et Cellulaire), Illkirch F-67400, France; CNRS, UMR7104, Illkirch F-67404, France; Inserm, U964, Illkirch F-67400, France; and Universite´ de Strasbourg, Strasbourg F-67000, France The histone variant H3.3 marks active chromatin by replacing the conventional histone H3.1. In this study, we investigate the detailed mechanism of H3.3 replication-independent deposition. We found that the death domain- associated protein DAXX and the chromatin remodeling factor ATRX (a-thalassemia/mental retardation syndrome protein) are specifically associated with the H3.3 deposition machinery. Bacterially expressed DAXX has a marked binding preference for H3.3 and assists the deposition of (H3.3–H4)2 tetramers on naked DNA, thus showing that DAXX is a H3.3 histone chaperone. In DAXX-depleted cells, a fraction of H3.3 was found associated with the replication-dependent machinery of deposition, suggesting that cells adapt to the depletion. The reintroduced DAXX in these cells colocalizes with H3.3 into the promyelocytic leukemia protein (PML) bodies. Moreover, DAXX associates with pericentric DNA repeats, and modulates the transcription from these repeats through assembly of H3.3 nucleosomes. These findings establish a new link between the PML bodies and the regulation of pericentric DNA repeat chromatin structure. Taken together, our data demonstrate that DAXX functions as a bona fide histone chaperone involved in the replication-independent deposition of H3.3.

Methods: A sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay was used to analyze the sensitivity to HCPT of six gastric cancer cell lines. The miRNA and mRNA expression signatures in HCPT-resistant cell lines were then identified using DNA microarrays. Gene ontology and pathway anal- ysis was conducted using GenMAPP2. A combined analysis was used to explore the relationship between the miRNAs and mRNAs. Results: The sensitivity to HCPT was significantly different among the six cell lines. In the HCPT-resistant gastric cancer cells, the levels of 25 miRNAs were deregulated, including miR-196a, miR-200 family, miR-338, miR-126, miR-31, miR-98, let-7g, and miR-7. Their tar- get genes were related to cancer development, progression and chemosensitivity.

Down syndrome and other aneuploidies occur in more than 0.2% of births worldwide and are on the rise because of advanced reproductive age. Birth defects of genetic origin can be diagnosed in utero after invasive extraction of fetal tissues. Noninvasive testing with circulating cell-free fetal DNA is limited by a low fetal DNA fraction. Both modalities are unavailable until the end of the first trimester. We have isolated intact trophoblast cells from Downloaded from Papanicolaou smears collected noninvasively at 5 to 19 weeks of gestation for next-generation sequencing of fetal DNA. Consecutive matched maternal, placental, and fetal samples (n = 20) were profiled by multiplex targeted DNA sequencing of 59 short tandem repeat and 94 single-nucleotide variant sites across all 24 chromosomes. The data revealed fetal DNA fractions of 85 to 99.9%, with 100% correct fetal haplotyping. This noninvasive platform has the potential to provide comprehensive fetal genomic profiling as early as 5 weeks of gestation.
