Protein Interaction Network of Alternatively Spliced Isoforms from Brain Links Genetic Risk Factors for Autism
ARTICLE Received 24 Aug 2013 | Accepted 14 Mar 2014 | Published 11 Apr 2014 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms4650 OPEN Protein interaction network of alternatively spliced isoforms from brain links genetic risk factors for autism Roser Corominas1,*, Xinping Yang2,3,*, Guan Ning Lin1,*, Shuli Kang1,*, Yun Shen2,3, Lila Ghamsari2,3,w, Martin Broly2,3, Maria Rodriguez2,3, Stanley Tam2,3, Shelly A.

Iakoucheva1 Increased risk for autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is attributed to hundreds of genetic loci. The convergence of ASD variants have been investigated using various approaches, including protein interactions extracted from the published literature. However, these datasets are frequently incomplete, carry biases and are limited to interactions of a single splicing isoform, which may not be expressed in the disease-relevant tissue. Here we introduce a new interactome mapping approach by experimentally identifying interactions between brain-expressed alternatively spliced variants of ASD risk factors. The Autism Spliceform Interaction Network reveals that almost half of the detected interactions and about 30% of the newly identified interacting partners represent contribution from splicing variants, emphasizing the importance of isoform networks. Isoform interactions greatly contribute to establishing direct physical connections between proteins from the de novo autism CNVs. Our findings demonstrate the critical role of spliceform networks for translating genetic knowledge into a better understanding of human diseases. -
Transcriptional Control of Tissue-Resident Memory T Cell Generation
Transcriptional control of tissue-resident memory T cell generation Filip Cvetkovski Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 © 2019 Filip Cvetkovski All rights reserved ABSTRACT Transcriptional control of tissue-resident memory T cell generation Filip Cvetkovski Tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM) are a non-circulating subset of memory that are maintained at sites of pathogen entry and mediate optimal protection against reinfection. Lung TRM can be generated in response to respiratory infection or vaccination, however, the molecular pathways involved in CD4+TRM establishment have not been defined. Here, we performed transcriptional profiling of influenza-specific lung CD4+TRM following influenza infection to identify pathways implicated in CD4+TRM generation and homeostasis. Lung CD4+TRM displayed a unique transcriptional profile distinct from spleen memory, including up-regulation of a gene network induced by the transcription factor IRF4, a known regulator of effector T cell differentiation. In addition, the gene expression profile of lung CD4+TRM was enriched in gene sets previously described in tissue-resident regulatory T cells. Up-regulation of immunomodulatory molecules such as CTLA-4, PD-1, and ICOS, suggested a potential regulatory role for CD4+TRM in tissues. Using loss-of-function genetic experiments in mice, we demonstrate that IRF4 is required for the generation of lung-localized pathogen-specific effector CD4+T cells during acute influenza infection. Influenza-specific IRF4−/− T cells failed to fully express CD44, and maintained high levels of CD62L compared to wild type, suggesting a defect in complete differentiation into lung-tropic effector T cells. -

POPDC proteins are abundantly expressed in cardiac and skeletal muscle. Within the heart, POPDC1 has been shown to be highly expressed in the pace making centres and at moderate to low levels in the atria and ventricles. Given this localisation, a role for POPDC1 was hypothesised to be in the maintenance of normal heartbeat rhythm. Studies involving POPDC1 mutant mice and zebrafish provided evidence for this proposed function as the genetically modified model animals displayed cardiac arrhythmias as the predominant phenotype. -
Epac2a-Null Mice Exhibit Obesity-Prone Nature More Susceptible to Leptin Resistance
OPEN International Journal of Obesity (2017) 41, 279–288 www.nature.com/ijo ORIGINAL ARTICLE Epac2a-null mice exhibit obesity-prone nature more susceptible to leptin resistance M Hwang1,5,YGo2,5,6, J-H Park1, S-K Shin1, SE Song1, B-C Oh3, S-S Im1, I Hwang1, YH Jeon2, I-K Lee2, S Seino4 and D-K Song1 BACKGROUND: The exchange protein directly activated by cAMP (Epac), which is primarily involved in cAMP signaling, has been known to be essential for controlling body energy metabolism. Epac has two isoforms: Epac1 and Epac2. The function of Epac1 on obesity was unveiled using Epac1 knockout (KO) mice. However, the role of Epac2 in obesity remains unclear. METHODS: To evaluate the role of Epac2 in obesity, we used Epac2a KO mice, which is dominantly expressed in neurons and endocrine tissues. Physiological factors related to obesity were analyzed: body weight, fat mass, food intake, plasma leptin and adiponectin levels, energy expenditure, glucose tolerance, and insulin and leptin resistance. To determine the mechanism of Epac2a, mice received exogenous leptin and then hypothalamic leptin signaling was analyzed. RESULTS: Epac2a KO mice appeared to have normal glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity until 12 weeks of age, but an early onset increase of plasma leptin levels and decrease of plasma adiponectin levels compared with wild-type mice. Acute leptin injection revealed impaired hypothalamic leptin signaling in KO mice. Consistently, KO mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) were significantly obese, presenting greater food intake and lower energy expenditure. HFD-fed KO mice were also characterized by greater impairment of hypothalamic leptin signaling and by weaker leptin-induced decrease in food consumption compared with HFD-fed wild-type mice. -

The Camp-Binding Popdc Proteins Have a Redundant Function in the Heart
Targeting cAMP Signalling to Combat Cardiovascular Diseases 295 The cAMP-binding Popdc proteins have a redundant function in the heart Thomas Brand*1, Subreena L. Simrick*, Kar Lai Poon* and Roland F.R. Schindler* *Heart Science Centre, National Heart and Lung Institute, Imperial College, Hill End Road, Harefield UB9 6JH, U.K. Abstract Popdc (Popeye-domain-containing) genes encode membrane-bound proteins and are abundantly present in cardiac myocytes and in skeletal muscle fibres. Functional analysis of Popdc1 (Bves)andPopdc2 in mice and of popdc2 in zebrafish revealed an overlapping role for proper electrical conduction in the heart and maintaining structural integrity of skeletal muscle. Popdc proteins mediate cAMP signalling and modulate the biological activity of interacting proteins. The two-pore channel TREK-1 interacts with all three Popdc proteins. In Xenopus oocytes, the presence of Popdc proteins causes an enhanced membrane transport leading to an increase in TREK-1 current, which is blocked when cAMP levels are increased. Another important Popdc-interacting protein is caveolin 3, and the loss of Popdc1 affects caveolar size. Thus a family of membrane-bound cAMP-binding proteins has been identified, which modulate the subcellular localization of effector proteins involved in organizing signalling complexes and assuring proper membrane physiology of cardiac myocytes. The Popeye-domain-containing gene Structure and biochemical properties of family Popdc proteins The Popdc (Popeye-domain-containing) gene family has Popdc proteins have been shown to be transmembrane been discovered independently by two groups that aimed proteins containing three hydrophobic helices. The proteins at identifying novel genes with cardiac-enriched expression have a short extracellular N-terminus, which contains one pattern [1,2]. -

Poelmann and Monique R.M. Jongbloed Received: 26 April 2016; Accepted: 13 June 2016; Published: 15 June 2016 Abstract: The Popeye domain containing (POPDC) genes encode a novel class of cAMP effector proteins, which are abundantly expressed in heart and skeletal muscle. Here, we will review their role in striated muscle as deduced from work in cell and animal models and the recent analysis of patients carrying a missense mutation in POPDC1. Evidence suggests that POPDC proteins control membrane trafficking of interacting proteins. Furthermore, we will discuss the current catalogue of established protein-protein interactions. In recent years, the number of POPDC-interacting proteins has been rising and currently includes ion channels (TREK-1), sarcolemma-associated proteins serving functions in mechanical stability (dystrophin), compartmentalization (caveolin 3), scaffolding (ZO-1), trafficking (NDRG4, VAMP2/3) and repair (dysferlin) or acting as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for Rho-family GTPases (GEFT). -

KEYWORDS Although its definitive physiological function is unknown, it may have a pathological role as the source of pulmonary ectopic beats initiating atrial fibrillation. How the pulmonary myocardium gains pacemaker function is not myocardium clearly defined, although recent evidence indicates that changed transcriptional gene expression networks are eQTL at fault. The gene expression profile of this distinct cell type in situ was examined to investigate underlying atrial fibrillation molecular events that might contribute to atrial fibrillation. Via systems genetics, a whole-lung transcriptome gene network data set from the BXD recombinant inbred mouse resource was analyzed, uncovering a pulmonary cardio- myocyte gene network of 24 transcripts, coordinately regulated by chromosome 1 and 2 loci. Promoter enrichment analysis and interrogation of publicly available ChIP-seq data suggested that transcription of this gene network may be regulated by the concerted activity of NKX2-5, serum response factor, myocyte en- hancer factor 2, and also, at a post-transcriptional level, by RNA binding protein motif 20.
