Mouse Utp15 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Utp15 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Utp15 knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Utp15 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_178918 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000041747 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 13. 13 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 2 and the TAA stop codon in exon 13 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000040972). Exon 2~10 will be selected as target site. Cas9 and gRNA will be co-injected into fertilized eggs for KO Mouse production. The pups will be genotyped by PCR followed by sequencing analysis. Note: Exon 2 starts from the coding region. Exon 2~10 covers 72.35% of the coding region. The size of effective KO region: ~9042 bp. The KO region does not have any other known gene.

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.

Strategy summary: The Utp15 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_178918 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000041747 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 13. 13 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 2 and the TAA stop codon in exon 13 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000040972). Exon 3~4 will be selected as conditional knockout region (cKO region). Deletion of this region should result in the loss of function of the Mouse Utp15 gene. To engineer the targeting vector, homologous arms and cKO region will be generated by PCR using BAC clone RP23-267C22 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: Exon 3 starts from about 5.74% of the coding region. The knockout of Exon 3~4 will result in frameshift of the gene. The size of intron 2 for 5'-loxP site insertion: 1332 bp, and the size of intron 4 for 3'-loxP site insertion: 1090 bp. The size of effective cKO region: ~862 bp.

  • Utpa and Utpb Chaperone Nascent Pre-Ribosomal RNA and U3 Snorna to Initiate Eukaryotic Ribosome Assembly
    ARTICLE Received 6 Apr 2016 | Accepted 27 May 2016 | Published 29 Jun 2016 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms12090 OPEN UtpA and UtpB chaperone nascent pre-ribosomal RNA and U3 snoRNA to initiate eukaryotic ribosome assembly Mirjam Hunziker1,*, Jonas Barandun1,*, Elisabeth Petfalski2, Dongyan Tan3, Cle´mentine Delan-Forino2, Kelly R. Molloy4, Kelly H. Kim5, Hywel Dunn-Davies2, Yi Shi4, Malik Chaker-Margot1,6, Brian T. Chait4, Thomas Walz5, David Tollervey2 & Sebastian Klinge1 Early eukaryotic ribosome biogenesis involves large multi-protein complexes, which co-transcriptionally associate with pre-ribosomal RNA to form the small subunit processome. The precise mechanisms by which two of the largest multi-protein complexes—UtpA and UtpB—interact with nascent pre-ribosomal RNA are poorly understood. Here, we combined biochemical and structural biology approaches with ensembles of RNA–protein cross-linking data to elucidate the essential functions of both complexes. We show that UtpA contains a large composite RNA-binding site and captures the 50 end of pre-ribosomal RNA. UtpB forms an extended structure that binds early pre-ribosomal intermediates in close proximity to architectural sites such as an RNA duplex formed by the 50 ETS and U3 snoRNA as well as the 30 boundary of the 18S rRNA. Both complexes therefore act as vital RNA chaperones to initiate eukaryotic ribosome assembly. 1 Laboratory of Protein and Nucleic Acid Chemistry, The Rockefeller University, New York, New York 10065, USA. 2 Wellcome Trust Centre for Cell Biology, University of Edinburgh, Michael Swann Building, Max Born Crescent, Edinburgh EH9 3BF, UK. 3 Department of Cell Biology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA.

  • The Complete Structure of the Small-Subunit Processome
    ARTICLES The complete structure of the small-subunit processome Jonas Barandun1,4 , Malik Chaker-Margot1,2,4 , Mirjam Hunziker1,4 , Kelly R Molloy3, Brian T Chait3 & Sebastian Klinge1 The small-subunit processome represents the earliest stable precursor of the eukaryotic small ribosomal subunit. Here we present the cryo-EM structure of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae small-subunit processome at an overall resolution of 3.8 Å, which provides an essentially complete near-atomic model of this assembly. In this nucleolar superstructure, 51 ribosome-assembly factors and two RNAs encapsulate the 18S rRNA precursor and 15 ribosomal proteins in a state that precedes pre-rRNA cleavage at site A1. Extended flexible proteins are employed to connect distant sites in this particle. Molecular mimicry and steric hindrance, as well as protein- and RNA-mediated RNA remodeling, are used in a concerted fashion to prevent the premature formation of the central pseudoknot and its surrounding elements within the small ribosomal subunit. Eukaryotic ribosome assembly is a highly dynamic process involving during which the four rRNA domains of the 18S rRNA (5′, central, in excess of 200 non-ribosomal proteins and RNAs. This process 3′ major and 3′ minor) are bound by a set of specific ribosome-assem- starts in the nucleolus where rRNAs for the small ribosomal subunit bly factors7,8. Biochemical studies indicated that these factors and the (18S rRNA) and the large ribosomal subunit (25S and 5.8S rRNA) 5′-ETS particle probably contribute to the independent maturation are initially transcribed as part of a large 35S pre-rRNA precursor of the domains of the SSU7,8.

Open data enables researchers to accelerate cancer studies, save resources and foster collaboration. Several tools and programming approaches are available for analyzing data, including annotation, clustering, comparison and extrapolation, merging, enrichment, functional association and statistics. We exploit openly available data via cancer gene expression analysis, we apply refinement as well as enrichment analysis via gene ontology and conclude with graph-based visualization of involved protein interaction networks as a basis for signaling. The different databases allowed for the construction of huge networks or specified ones consisting of high-confidence interactions only. Several genes associated to glioma were isolated via a network analysis from top hub nodes as well as from an outlier analysis. The latter approach highlights a mitogen-activated protein kinase next to a member of histondeacetylases and a protein phosphatase as genes uncommonly associated with glioma. Cluster analysis from top hub nodes lists several identified glioma-associated gene products to function within protein complexes, including epidermal growth factors as well as cell cycle proteins or RAS proto-oncogenes.

  • The Nuclear Poly(A) Polymerase and Exosome Cofactor Trf5 Is Recruited Cotranscriptionally to Nucleolar Surveillance
    Downloaded from rnajournal.cshlp.org on September 28, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press The nuclear poly(A) polymerase and Exosome cofactor Trf5 is recruited cotranscriptionally to nucleolar surveillance MAXIME WERY,1 SABINE RUIDANT,1 STE´PHANIE SCHILLEWAERT, NATHALIE LEPORE´, and DENIS L.J. LAFONTAINE Fonds de la Recherche Scientifique (FRS-FNRS), Acade´mie Wallonie-Bruxelles, Institut de Biologie et de Me´decine Mole´culaires, Universite´ Libre de Bruxelles, Charleroi-Gosselies, B-6041 Belgium ABSTRACT Terminal balls detected at the 59-end of nascent ribosomal transcripts act as pre-rRNA processing complexes and are detected in all eukaryotes examined, resulting in illustrious Christmas tree images. Terminal balls (also known as SSU-processomes) compaction reflects the various stages of cotranscriptional ribosome assembly. Here, we have followed SSU-processome compaction in vivo by use of a chromatin immunoprecipitation (Ch-IP) approach and shown, in agreement with electron microscopy analysis of Christmas trees, that it progressively condenses to come in close proximity to the 59-end of the 25S rRNA gene. The SSU-processome is comprised of independent autonomous building blocks that are loaded onto nascent pre-rRNAs and assemble into catalytically active pre-rRNA processing complexes in a stepwise and highly hierarchical process. Failure to assemble SSU-processome subcomplexes with proper kinetics triggers a nucleolar surveillance pathway that targets misassembled pre-rRNAs otherwise destined to mature into small subunit 18S rRNA for polyadenylation, preferentially by TRAMP5, and degradation by the 39 to 59 exoribonucleolytic activity of the Exosome. Trf5 colocalized with nascent pre-rRNPs, indicating that this nucleolar surveillance initiates cotranscriptionally.

The small ribosomal subunit (SSU) processome is a large ribonucleoprotein (RNP) required for processing of precursors to the small subunit RNA, the 18S, of the ribosome. We have found that a subcomplex of SSU processome proteins, the t-Utps, is also required for optimal rRNA transcription in vivo in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.The t-Utps are ribosomal chromatin (r-chromatin)-associated, and they exist in a complex in the absence of the U3 snoRNA. Transcription is required neither for the formation of the subcomplex nor for its r-chromatin association. The t-Utps are associated with the pre-18S rRNAs independent of the presence of the U3 snoRNA. This association may thus represent an early step in the formation of the SSU processome. Our results indicate that rRNA transcription and pre-rRNA processing are coordinated via specific components of the SSU processome.
