Mouse Rcan1 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Rcan1 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Rcan1 knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J ) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Rcan1 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_001081549 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000022951 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 16. 4 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TGA stop codon in exon 4 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000060005). Exon 2~3 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: Unstressed homozygous mutant mice show no overt phenotype other than a slight reduction in heart size and an impaired T helper 1 response. Stress-induced cardiac hypertrophy, however, is attenuated in mutant mice. Exon 2 starts from about 32.8% of the coding region. Exon 2~3 covers 44.36% of the coding region. The size of effective KO region: ~2390 bp. The KO 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 Dot Plot (down) Window size: 15 bp Forward Reverse Complement Sequence 12 Note: The 2000 bp section downstream of Exon 3 is aligned with itself to determine if there are tandem repeats. Tandem repeats are found in the dot plot matrix. The gRNA site is selected outside of these tandem repeats.

No significant high GC-content region is found. So this region is suitable for PCR screening or sequencing analysis.

  • 2Nd ECS Workshop 2009 Annexins, Targets and Calcium-Binding Proteins in Pathology Smolenice, June 3–6, 2009, Slovakia
    F1 Focus Issue 2nd ECS Workshop 2009 Annexins, targets and calcium-binding proteins in pathology Smolenice, June 3–6, 2009, Slovakia Editors A. Breier, C. W. Heizmann and B. Uhrík F2 Gen. Physiol. Biophys. (2009), 28, Focus Issue, F2 Preface The 2nd ECS Workshop on Annexins, Targets and Calcium-Binding Proteins in Pathology This workshop was held in the beautiful Smolenice castle in Slovakia from June 3-6, 2009 and organized by the European Calcium Society (Claus Heizmann) in cooperation with the Slovak Academy of Sciences (Albert Breier). The village of Smolenice is located in the west of Slovakia, about 60 km from the capital city of Bratislava. The Smolenice castle is located above the village on the foothills of the Carpatian mountains. First documents of the existence of this castle date back to the 13th century. During the Napoleon war the castle de- cayed after the main building and the tower had been destroyed. Reconstruction of the castle was started early in the 20th century. In 1953 the castle was handed over to the Slovak Academy of Sciences (SAS) to become their representative International Congress Center. 65 scientists (mostly young investigators) attended this 2nd ECS workshop; the participants came from 15 different countries including Argentina, Canada, USA, Russia and Poland. The scientific program opened with the keynote lecture of Joseph Metzger (University of Minnesota, Minneapolis) dis- cussing the defective intracellular calcium handling in diastolic heart failure (DHF) and the gene transfer of parvalbumin restoring myocardial performance in DHF. The next day two sessions followed discussing the structures and functions of annexins and their interactions with target proteins with the emphasis on the EF-hand calcium-binding proteins sorcin and S100 proteins.

  • The Regulator of Calcineurin (RCAN1) an Important Factor Involved in Atherosclerosis and Cardiovascular Diseases Development
    Journal of Medicine and Life Vol. 7, Issue 4, October-December 2014, pp.481-487 The regulator of calcineurin (RCAN1) an important factor involved in atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases development Torac E, Gaman L, Atanasiu V Biochemistry Department, ”Carol Davila” University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Bucharest, Romania Correspondence to: Elena Torac, PhD student Biochemistry Department, ”Carol Davila” University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 8 Eroilor Sanitari Blvd., District 5, 050474, Bucharest Mobile phone: 0723330110, E-mail: [email protected] Received: June 14th, 2014 – Accepted: September 20th, 2014 Abstract Atherosclerosis, one of the main causes of cardiovascular diseases, is a complex process that involves manifold factors. Besides the vascular lipids accumulation, inflammatory factors could be considered as a proatherogenic factor – RCAN1. RCAN1 is a regulator of calcineurin, both of them being calcium dependent proteins. Recent studies have shown that RCAN1 has an important role in heart valve development. In the same time researchers found that, the atherosclerotic plaques have an up-regulated RCAN1 gene expression. In the near future, it is desirable to elucidate the RCAN1 function and classify it as a possible biochemical marker to diagnose infancy atherosclerosis. Keywords: RCAN1, atherosclerosis, calcineurin, cardiovascular disease, Down Syndrome Abbreviations: RCAN1 = regulator of calcineurin, LDL = low density lipoproteins, HMG-CoA – 3 = hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A, VSMCs = vascular smooth muscle cells,
