Mouse Pcdhb5 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Pcdhb5 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Pcdhb5 conditional knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Pcdhb5 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_053130 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000063687 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 18. 1 exon is identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TAA stop codon in exon 1 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000078271). Exon 1 will be selected as conditional knockout region (cKO region). Deletion of this region should result in the loss of function of the Mouse Pcdhb5 gene. To engineer the targeting vector, homologous arms and cKO region will be generated by PCR using BAC clone RP23-480H17 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 1 covers 100.0% of the coding region. Start codon is in exon 1, and stop codon is in exon 1. The size of effective cKO region: ~2409 bp. The cKO region does not have any other known gene.

No significant tandem repeat is found in the dot plot matrix. So this region is suitable for PCR screening or sequencing analysis. Overview of the GC Content Distribution Window size: 300 bp Sequence 12 Summary: Full Length(8376bp) | A(29.63% 2482) | C(19.72% 1652) | T(29.43% 2465) | G(21.22% 1777) Note: The sequence of homologous arms and cKO region is analyzed to determine the GC content. No significant high GC-content region is found. So this region is suitable for PCR screening or sequencing analysis.

  • Data-Independent Acquisition Method for Ubiquitinome Analysis Reveals Regulation of Circadian Biology
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-20509-1 OPEN Data-independent acquisition method for ubiquitinome analysis reveals regulation of circadian biology Fynn M. Hansen1, Maria C. Tanzer1, Franziska Brüning 1,2, Isabell Bludau1, Che Stafford3, ✉ ✉ ✉ Brenda A. Schulman 4, Maria S. Robles 2 , Ozge Karayel 1 & Matthias Mann 1 1234567890():,; Protein ubiquitination is involved in virtually all cellular processes. Enrichment strategies employing antibodies targeting ubiquitin-derived diGly remnants combined with mass spectrometry (MS) have enabled investigations of ubiquitin signaling at a large scale. However, so far the power of data independent acquisition (DIA) with regards to sensitivity in single run analysis and data completeness have not yet been explored. Here, we develop a sensitive workflow combining diGly antibody-based enrichment and optimized Orbitrap- based DIA with comprehensive spectral libraries together containing more than 90,000 diGly peptides. This approach identifies 35,000 diGly peptides in single measurements of proteasome inhibitor-treated cells – double the number and quantitative accuracy of data dependent acquisition. Applied to TNF signaling, the workflow comprehensively captures known sites while adding many novel ones. An in-depth, systems-wide investigation of ubiquitination across the circadian cycle uncovers hundreds of cycling ubiquitination sites and dozens of cycling ubiquitin clusters within individual membrane protein receptors and transporters, highlighting new connections between metabolism and circadian regulation. 1 Department of Proteomics and Signal Transduction, Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry, Martinsried, Germany. 2 Institute of Medical Psychology, Faculty of Medicine, LMU, Munich, Germany. 3 Gene Center and Department of Biochemistry, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Munich, Germany. ✉ 4 Department of Molecular Machines and Signaling, Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry, Martinsried, Germany.

  • Integrative Network Analysis for Survival-Associated Gene-Gene Interactions Across Multiple Genomic Profiles in Ovarian Cancer
    Jeong et al. Journal of Ovarian Research (2015) 8:42 DOI 10.1186/s13048-015-0171-1 RESEARCH Open Access Integrative network analysis for survival- associated gene-gene interactions across multiple genomic profiles in ovarian cancer Hyun-hwan Jeong, Sangseob Leem, Kyubum Wee and Kyung-Ah Sohn* Abstract Background: Recent advances in high-throughput technology and the emergence of large-scale genomic datasets have enabled detection of genomic features that affect clinical outcomes. Although many previous computational studies have analysed the effect of each single gene or the additive effects of multiple genes on the clinical outcome, less attention has been devoted to the identification of gene-gene interactions of general type that are associated with the clinical outcome. Moreover, the integration of information from multiple molecular profiles adds another challenge to this problem. Recently, network-based approaches have gained huge popularity. However, previous network construction methods have been more concerned with the relationship between features only, rather than the effect of feature interactions on clinical outcome. Methods: We propose a mutual information-based integrative network analysis framework (MINA) that identifies gene pairs associated with clinical outcome and systematically analyses the resulting networks over multiple genomic profiles. We implement an efficient non-parametric testing scheme that ensures the significance of detected gene interactions. We develop a tool named MINA that automates the proposed analysis scheme of identifying outcome- associated gene interactions and generating various networks from those interacting pairs for downstream analysis. Results: We demonstrate the proposed framework using real data from ovarian cancer patients in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).

  • An RNA Matchmaker Protein Regulates the Activity of the Long Noncoding RNA HOTAIR
    Downloaded from rnajournal.cshlp.org on September 30, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press An RNA matchmaker protein regulates the activity of the long noncoding RNA HOTAIR EMILY K. MEREDITH,1,3 MAGGIE M. BALAS,1,2,3 KARLA SINDY,1 KRYSTAL HAISLOP,1 and AARON M. JOHNSON1,2 1Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, University of Colorado School of Medicine, Aurora, Colorado 80045, USA 2Molecular Biology Program, University of Colorado Denver Anschutz Medical Campus, Aurora, Colorado 80045, USA ABSTRACT The human long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) HOTAIR acts in trans to recruit the Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) to the HOXD gene cluster and to promote gene silencing during development. In breast cancers, overexpression of HOTAIR increases metastatic potential via the repression of many additional genes. It has remained unclear what factors determine HOTAIR-dependent PRC2 activity at specific genomic loci, particularly when high levels of HOTAIR result in aberrant gene silencing. To identify additional proteins that contribute to the specific action of HOTAIR, we performed a quantitative proteomic analysis of the HOTAIR interactome. We found that the most specific interaction was between HOTAIR and the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) A2/B1, a member of a family of proteins involved in nascent mRNA processing and RNA matchmaking. Our data suggest that A2/B1 are key contributors to HOTAIR-mediated chromatin regulation in breast cancer cells: A2/B1 knockdown reduces HOTAIR-dependent breast cancer cell invasion and decreases PRC2 activity at the majority of HOTAIR-dependent loci. We found that the B1 isoform, which differs from A2 by 12 additional amino acids, binds with highest specificity to HOTAIR.

  • Genome-Wide Gene Expression Profiling of Randall's Plaques In
    CLINICAL RESEARCH www.jasn.org Genome-Wide Gene Expression Profiling of Randall’s Plaques in Calcium Oxalate Stone Formers † † Kazumi Taguchi,* Shuzo Hamamoto,* Atsushi Okada,* Rei Unno,* Hideyuki Kamisawa,* Taku Naiki,* Ryosuke Ando,* Kentaro Mizuno,* Noriyasu Kawai,* Keiichi Tozawa,* Kenjiro Kohri,* and Takahiro Yasui* *Department of Nephro-urology, Nagoya City University Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Nagoya, Japan; and †Department of Urology, Social Medical Corporation Kojunkai Daido Hospital, Daido Clinic, Nagoya, Japan ABSTRACT Randall plaques (RPs) can contribute to the formation of idiopathic calcium oxalate (CaOx) kidney stones; however, genes related to RP formation have not been identified. We previously reported the potential therapeutic role of osteopontin (OPN) and macrophages in CaOx kidney stone formation, discovered using genome-recombined mice and genome-wide analyses. Here, to characterize the genetic patho- genesis of RPs, we used microarrays and immunohistology to compare gene expression among renal papillary RP and non-RP tissues of 23 CaOx stone formers (SFs) (age- and sex-matched) and normal papillary tissue of seven controls. Transmission electron microscopy showed OPN and collagen expression inside and around RPs, respectively. Cluster analysis revealed that the papillary gene expression of CaOx SFs differed significantly from that of controls. Disease and function analysis of gene expression revealed activation of cellular hyperpolarization, reproductive development, and molecular transport in papillary tissue from RPs and non-RP regions of CaOx SFs. Compared with non-RP tissue, RP tissue showed upregulation (˃2-fold) of LCN2, IL11, PTGS1, GPX3,andMMD and downregulation (0.5-fold) of SLC12A1 and NALCN (P,0.01). In network and toxicity analyses, these genes associated with activated mitogen- activated protein kinase, the Akt/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway, and proinflammatory cytokines that cause renal injury and oxidative stress.
