Abstract Phosphorylation of specific substrates by protein kinases is a key control mechanism for vital cell-fate decisions and other cellular pro- cesses. However, discovering specific kinase-substrate relationships is time-consuming and often rather serendipitous.

DNA Double-Strand Breaks Induce H2ax Phosphorylation Domains in a Contact-Dependent Manner
ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-16926-x OPEN DNA double-strand breaks induce H2Ax phosphorylation domains in a contact-dependent manner Patrick L. Collins 1, Caitlin Purman2,Sofia I. Porter1, Vincent Nganga1, Ankita Saini1, Katharina E. Hayer 3, ✉ Greer L. Gurewitz2, Barry P. Sleckman4, Jeffrey J. Bednarski5, Craig H. Bassing6 & Eugene M. Oltz 1 fi 1234567890():,; Ef cient repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) requires a coordinated DNA Damage Response (DDR), which includes phosphorylation of histone H2Ax, forming γH2Ax. This histone modification spreads beyond the DSB into neighboring chromatin, generating a DDR platform that protects against end disassociation and degradation, minimizing chromosomal rearrangements. However, mechanisms that determine the breadth and intensity of γH2Ax domains remain unclear. Here, we show that chromosomal contacts of a DSB site are the primary determinants for γH2Ax landscapes. DSBs that disrupt a topological border permit extension of γH2Ax domains into both adjacent compartments. In contrast, DSBs near a border produce highly asymmetric DDR platforms, with γH2Ax nearly absent from one broken end. Collectively, our findings lend insights into a basic DNA repair mechanism and how the precise location of a DSB may influence genome integrity. 1 Department of Microbial Infection and Immunity, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 43210, USA. 2 Department of Pathology and Immunology, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO 63110, USA. 3 Department of Biomedical and Health Informatics, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA. 4 Department of Medicine, Division of Hematology and Oncology, O’Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL 35294, USA.

Throughout my PhD Charly has been unfailingly optimistic and enthusiastic about my projects, but most importantly, he has always had confidence in my abilities. During the course of graduate school I have doubted myself and my capabilities almost daily, but Charly has always believed that I would be successful in my scientific endeavors and I cannot thank him enough for that. Charly is the most enthusiastic scientist that I have ever met and he has the capacity to find a silver lining to almost any event. He also understands the importance of presentation and has the resourcefulness to transform almost any situation into an opportunity. These are all traits that do not come naturally to me, but having Charly as a mentor has helped me to learn some of these important skills. I would also like to thank my thesis committee members, Dr. Raul Andino and Dr. John Gross who have both been incredibly supportive over the years. Despite the fact that my research ended up veering away from the original focus that was more in line with their expertise, they have continued to provide me with encouragement and thoughtful feedback during my thesis committee meetings as well as at other times that I sought their advice.

Data-Driven and Knowledge-Driven Computational Models of Angiogenesis in Application to Peripheral Arterial Disease
DATA-DRIVEN AND KNOWLEDGE-DRIVEN COMPUTATIONAL MODELS OF ANGIOGENESIS IN APPLICATION TO PERIPHERAL ARTERIAL DISEASE by Liang-Hui Chu A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland March, 2015 © 2015 Liang-Hui Chu All Rights Reserved Abstract Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels, is involved in both physiological conditions (e.g. development, wound healing and exercise) and diseases (e.g. cancer, age-related macular degeneration, and ischemic diseases such as coronary artery disease and peripheral arterial disease). Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) affects approximately 8 to 12 million people in United States, especially those over the age of 50 and its prevalence is now comparable to that of coronary artery disease. To date, all clinical trials that includes stimulation of VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) and FGF (fibroblast growth factor) have failed. There is an unmet need to find novel genes and drug targets and predict potential therapeutics in PAD. We use the data-driven bioinformatic approach to identify angiogenesis-associated genes and predict new targets and repositioned drugs in PAD. We also formulate a mechanistic three- compartment model that includes the anti-angiogenic isoform VEGF165b. The thesis can serve as a framework for computational and experimental validations of novel drug targets and drugs in PAD. ii Acknowledgements I appreciate my advisor Dr. Aleksander S. Popel to guide my PhD studies for the five years at Johns Hopkins University. I also appreciate several professors on my thesis committee, Dr. Joel S. Bader, Dr.
