    Supplementary Information Method CLEAR-CLIP. Mouse keratinocytes of the designated genotype were maintained in E-low calcium medium. Inducible cells were treated with 3 ug/ml final concentration doxycycline for 24 hours before performing CLEAR-CLIP. One 15cm dish of confluent cells was used per sample. Cells were washed once with cold PBS. 10mls of cold PBS was then added and cells were irradiated with 300mJ/cm2 UVC (254nM wavelength). Cells were then scraped from the plates in cold PBS and pelleted by centrifugation at 1,000g for 2 minutes. Pellets were frozen at -80oC until needed. Cells were then lysed on ice with occasional vortexing in 1ml of lysis buffer (50mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4, 100mM NaCl, 1mM MgCl2, 0.1 mM CaCl2, 1% NP-40, 0.5% Sodium Deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS) containing 1X protease inhibitors (Roche #88665) and RNaseOUT (Invitrogen #10777019) at 4ul/ml final concentration. Next, TurboDNase (Invitrogen #AM2238, 10U), RNase A (0.13ug) and RNase T1 (0.13U) were added and samples were incubated at 37oC for 5 minutes with occasional mixing. Samples were immediately placed on ice and then centrifuged at 16,160g at 4oC for 20 minutes to clear lysate. 25ul of Protein-G Dynabeads (Invitrogen #10004D) were used per IP. Dynabeads were pre-washed with lysis buffer and pre- incubated with 3ul of Wako Anti-Mouse-Ago2 (2D4) antibody. The dynabead/antibody mixture was added to the lysate and rocked for 2 hours at 4oC. All steps after the IP were done on bead until samples were loaded into the polyacrylamide gel.

Cblb is one of the two major diabetes predisposing loci in the Komeda diabetes-prone (KDP) rat. Cbl-b, a ubiquitin ligase, couples TCR-mediated stimulation with the requirement for CD28 costimulation, regulating T-cell activation. To identify variants with possible effects on gene function as well as haplotype tagging polymorphisms, the human CBLB coding region was sequenced in 16 individuals with T1D: no variants predicted to change the amino-acid sequence were identified. Seven single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers spanning the CBLB gene were genotyped in multiplex T1D families and assessed for disease association by transmission disequilibrium testing. No significant evidence of association was obtained for either individual markers or marker haplotypes.

ABSTRACT: Casitas B-lineage lymphoma (Cbl) family proteins are evolutionarily-conserved attenuators of protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) signaling. Biochemical analyses over the past two decades have firmly established that the negative regulatory functions of Cbl proteins are mediated through their ability to facilitate ubiquitination and thus promote degradation of PTKs. As aberrant activation of PTKs is frequently associated with oncogenesis, it has long been postulated that loss of normal Cbl functions may lead to unregulated activation of PTKs and cellular transformation.

T cell tolerance These studies suggest that targeting Cbl-b may represent a potential therapeutic strategy for the management of Immune-related disorders human immune-related disorders such as autoimmune diseases, infections, tumors, and allergic airway in- flammation. In this review, we summarize the latest developments regarding the roles of Cbl-b ininnateand adaptive immunity, and immune-mediated diseases. 1. Introduction adaptive immunity, and the involvement of Cbl-b in immune-mediated diseases. Ubiquitination, the covalent conjugation of ubiquitin (Ub) (a 76 amino-acid peptide) to protein substrates, is an essential mechanism of 2.

However, it is still challenging to extract from the available knowledge reliable targets to use in a translational setting. The reasons for this are manifold, but essentially distilling real biological signal from heterogeneous “big data” collections is the major hurdle. Here, we aim to establish an in-silico pipeline to explore mutations and their effects on protein-protein interactions, with a focus on acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), one of the most common blood cancers with the highest mortality rate. Our method, based on cyclic interactions of a small number of proteins topologically linked in the network (short loop network motifs), highlights specific protein-protein interactions (PPIs) and their functions in AML when compared with other leukaemias. We also developed a new property named ‘short loop commonality’ to measure indirect PPIs occurring via common short loop interactions. This new method detects “modules” of PPI networks (PPINs) enriched with common biological functions which have proteins that contain mutation hotspots.
