Here we report that COMMD1 is directly linked to early Jean E. Gruenberg endosomes through its interaction with a protein complex containing CCDC22, CCDC93, and University of Geneva C16orf62. This COMMD/CCDC22/CCDC93 (CCC) complex interacts with the multisubunit Received: Jun 11, 2014 WASH complex, an evolutionarily conserved system, which is required for endosomal deposi- Revised: Oct 21, 2014 tion of F-actin and cargo trafficking in conjunction with the retromer. Interactions between Accepted: Oct 24, 2014 the WASH complex subunit FAM21, and the carboxyl-terminal ends of CCDC22 and CCDC93 are responsible for CCC complex recruitment to endosomes. We show that depletion of CCC complex components leads to lack of copper-dependent movement of the copper trans- porter ATP7A from endosomes, resulting in intracellular copper accumulation and modest alterations in copper homeostasis in humans with CCDC22 mutations. This work provides a mechanistic explanation for the role of COMMD1 in copper homeostasis and uncovers addi- tional genes involved in the regulation of copper transporter recycling.

Mohsen Hosseini 2014 Genetic Analysis of Retinopathy in Type 1 Diabetes Sayed Mohsen Hosseini Doctor of Philosophy Institute of Medical Science University of Toronto 2014 Abstract Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of blindness worldwide. Several lines of evidence suggest a genetic contribution to the risk of DR; however, no genetic variant has shown convincing association with DR in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). To identify common polymorphisms associated with DR, meta-GWAS were performed in three type 1 diabetes cohorts of White subjects: Diabetes Complications and Control Trial (DCCT, n=1304), Wisconsin Epidemiologic Study of Diabetic Retinopathy (WESDR, n=603) and Renin-Angiotensin System Study (RASS, n=239). Severe (SDR) and mild (MDR) retinopathy outcomes were defined based on repeated fundus photographs in each study graded for retinopathy severity on the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) scale. Multivariable models accounted for glycemia (measured by A1C), diabetes duration and other relevant covariates in the association analyses of additive genotypes with SDR and MDR. Fixed-effects meta- analysis was used to combine the results of GWAS performed separately in WESDR, ii RASS and subgroups of DCCT, defined by cohort and treatment group. Top association signals were prioritized for replication, based on previous supporting knowledge from the literature, followed by replication in three independent white T1D studies: Genesis-GeneDiab (n=502), Steno (n=936) and FinnDiane (n=2194).

  • Supplemental Information
    Supplemental information Dissection of the genomic structure of the miR-183/96/182 gene. Previously, we showed that the miR-183/96/182 cluster is an intergenic miRNA cluster, located in a ~60-kb interval between the genes encoding nuclear respiratory factor-1 (Nrf1) and ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2H (Ube2h) on mouse chr6qA3.3 (1). To start to uncover the genomic structure of the miR- 183/96/182 gene, we first studied genomic features around miR-183/96/182 in the UCSC genome browser (http://genome.UCSC.edu/), and identified two CpG islands 3.4-6.5 kb 5’ of pre-miR-183, the most 5’ miRNA of the cluster (Fig. 1A; Fig. S1 and Seq. S1). A cDNA clone, AK044220, located at 3.2-4.6 kb 5’ to pre-miR-183, encompasses the second CpG island (Fig. 1A; Fig. S1). We hypothesized that this cDNA clone was derived from 5’ exon(s) of the primary transcript of the miR-183/96/182 gene, as CpG islands are often associated with promoters (2). Supporting this hypothesis, multiple expressed sequences detected by gene-trap clones, including clone D016D06 (3, 4), were co-localized with the cDNA clone AK044220 (Fig. 1A; Fig. S1). Clone D016D06, deposited by the German GeneTrap Consortium (GGTC) (http://tikus.gsf.de) (3, 4), was derived from insertion of a retroviral construct, rFlpROSAβgeo in 129S2 ES cells (Fig. 1A and C). The rFlpROSAβgeo construct carries a promoterless reporter gene, the β−geo cassette - an in-frame fusion of the β-galactosidase and neomycin resistance (Neor) gene (5), with a splicing acceptor (SA) immediately upstream, and a polyA signal downstream of the β−geo cassette (Fig.

However, the failure of DNA repair inhibitors to markedly benefit patients necessitates the development of new strategies. Here, we show that exosome component 1 (EXOSC1) promotes DNA damages and sensitizes human kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) cells to DNA repair inhibitor. Considering that endogenous source of mutation (ESM) constantly assaults genomic DNA and likely sensitizes human cancer cells to the inhibitor, we first analyzed the statistical relationship between the expression of individual genes and the mutations for KIRC. Among the candidates, EXOSC1 most notably promoted DNA damages and subsequent mutations via preferentially cleaving C site(s) in single-stranded DNA. Consistently, EXOSC1 was more *For correspondence: significantly correlated with C>A transversions in coding strands than these in template strands in [email protected] human KIRC.

However, the global patterns of these interwoven heterogeneous interactomes remain poorly understood. Here we focus on two different interactomes, chromatin interaction network and gene regulatory network, as a proof-of-principle, to identify heterogeneous interactome modules (HIMs), each of which represents a cluster of gene loci that are in spatial contact more frequently than expected and that are regulated by the same group of transcription factors. HIM integrates transcription factor binding and 3D genome structure to reflect “transcriptional niche” in the nucleus. We develop a new algorithm MOCHI to facilitate the discovery of HIMs based on network motif clustering in heterogeneous interactomes. By applying MOCHI to five different cell types, we found that HIMs have strong spatial preference within the nucleus and exhibit distinct functional properties. Through integrative analysis, this work demonstrates the utility of MOCHI to identify HIMs, which may provide new perspectives on the interplay between transcriptional regulation and 3D genome organization.
