Mouse Ubap1 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Ubap1 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Ubap1 conditional knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Ubap1 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_023305 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000028437 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 4. 7 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 2 and the TGA stop codon in exon 7 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000072866). Exon 3 will be selected as conditional knockout region (cKO region). Deletion of this region should result in the loss of function of the Mouse Ubap1 gene. To engineer the targeting vector, homologous arms and cKO region will be generated by PCR using BAC clone RP23-324H18 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 3 starts from about 2.32% of the coding region. The knockout of Exon 3 will result in frameshift of the gene. The size of intron 2 for 5'-loxP site insertion: 4794 bp, and the size of intron 3 for 3'-loxP site insertion: 7097 bp. The size of effective cKO region: ~625 bp. The cKO region does not have any other known gene.

Tandem repeats are found in the dot plot matrix. It may be difficult to construct this targeting vector. Overview of the GC Content Distribution Window size: 300 bp Sequence 12 Summary: Full Length(7125bp) | A(24.36% 1736) | C(21.94% 1563) | T(31.92% 2274) | G(21.78% 1552) 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.

Therefore, a major goal of diabetes research is to uncover pathways that can be exploited to induce β-cell replication while simultaneously maintaining β-cell function. We previously reported that adenovirus-mediated overexpression of the transcription factor PDX1 is sufficient to induce β-cell replication, but underlying mechanisms remain to be resolved.

  • Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia: from Genes, Cells and Networks to Novel Pathways for Drug Discovery
    brain sciences Review Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia: From Genes, Cells and Networks to Novel Pathways for Drug Discovery Alan Mackay-Sim Griffith Institute for Drug Discovery, Griffith University, Brisbane, QLD 4111, Australia; a.mackay-sim@griffith.edu.au Abstract: Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a diverse group of Mendelian genetic disorders affect- ing the upper motor neurons, specifically degeneration of their distal axons in the corticospinal tract. Currently, there are 80 genes or genomic loci (genomic regions for which the causative gene has not been identified) associated with HSP diagnosis. HSP is therefore genetically very heterogeneous. Finding treatments for the HSPs is a daunting task: a rare disease made rarer by so many causative genes and many potential mutations in those genes in individual patients. Personalized medicine through genetic correction may be possible, but impractical as a generalized treatment strategy. The ideal treatments would be small molecules that are effective for people with different causative mutations. This requires identification of disease-associated cell dysfunctions shared across geno- types despite the large number of HSP genes that suggest a wide diversity of molecular and cellular mechanisms. This review highlights the shared dysfunctional phenotypes in patient-derived cells from patients with different causative mutations and uses bioinformatic analyses of the HSP genes to identify novel cell functions as potential targets for future drug treatments for multiple genotypes.

  • Human Social Genomics in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
    Getting “Under the Skin”: Human Social Genomics in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis by Kristen Monét Brown A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Epidemiological Science) in the University of Michigan 2017 Doctoral Committee: Professor Ana V. Diez-Roux, Co-Chair, Drexel University Professor Sharon R. Kardia, Co-Chair Professor Bhramar Mukherjee Assistant Professor Belinda Needham Assistant Professor Jennifer A. Smith © Kristen Monét Brown, 2017 [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0002-9955-0568 Dedication I dedicate this dissertation to my grandmother, Gertrude Delores Hampton. Nanny, no one wanted to see me become “Dr. Brown” more than you. I know that you are standing over the bannister of heaven smiling and beaming with pride. I love you more than my words could ever fully express. ii Acknowledgements First, I give honor to God, who is the head of my life. Truly, without Him, none of this would be possible. Countless times throughout this doctoral journey I have relied my favorite scripture, “And we know that all things work together for good, to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).” Secondly, I acknowledge my parents, James and Marilyn Brown. From an early age, you two instilled in me the value of education and have been my biggest cheerleaders throughout my entire life. I thank you for your unconditional love, encouragement, sacrifices, and support. I would not be here today without you. I truly thank God that out of the all of the people in the world that He could have chosen to be my parents, that He chose the two of you.

We recently developed new methods to identify (revision) report parent-of-origin (PoO) interactions with environmental exposures 19 Jul 2019 (PoOxE) and now apply them to data from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of families with children born with isolated CL/P. version 1 Methods: Genotypes from 1594 complete triads and 314 dyads (1908 24 Jun 2019 report report nuclear families in total) with CL/P were available for the current analyses.

  • The Novel ALG-2 Target Protein CDIP1 Promotes Cell Death by Interacting with ESCRT-I and VAPA/B
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Article The Novel ALG-2 Target Protein CDIP1 Promotes Cell Death by Interacting with ESCRT-I and VAPA/B Ryuta Inukai 1, Kanako Mori 1, Keiko Kuwata 2, Chihiro Suzuki 1, Masatoshi Maki 1, Terunao Takahara 1 and Hideki Shibata 1,* 1 Department of Applied Biosciences, Graduate School of Bioagricultural Sciences, Nagoya University, Furo-cho, Chikusa-ku, Nagoya 464-8601, Japan; [email protected] (R.I.); [email protected] (K.M.); [email protected] (C.S.); [email protected] (M.M.); [email protected] (T.T.) 2 Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules (WPI-ITbM), Nagoya University, Furo-cho, Chikusa-ku, Nagoya 464-8601, Japan; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Apoptosis-linked gene 2 (ALG-2, also known as PDCD6) is a member of the penta-EF-hand (PEF) family of Ca2+-binding proteins. The murine gene encoding ALG-2 was originally reported to be an essential gene for apoptosis. However, the role of ALG-2 in cell death pathways has remained elusive. In the present study, we found that cell death-inducing p53 target protein 1 (CDIP1), a pro-apoptotic protein, interacts with ALG-2 in a Ca2+-dependent manner. Co-immunoprecipitation analysis of GFP-fused CDIP1 (GFP-CDIP1) revealed that GFP-CDIP1 associates with tumor suscep- tibility gene 101 (TSG101), a known target of ALG-2 and a subunit of endosomal sorting complex required for transport-I (ESCRT-I). ESCRT-I is a heterotetrameric complex composed of TSG101, VPS28, VPS37 and MVB12/UBAP1.

All clones contained a central region Johanna Donovan,1,3 Sara Rollinson,2 Aurelie Doyotte,1 (aa 159–308) of UBAP1. Directed yeast two-hybrid analysis Kim Brownhill,1 Janis Bennion,2 Stuart Pickering-Brown,2 showed that full-length UBAP1 interacted with the Bro-V and Philip Woodman1,* region of HDPTP, but not Alix, and with full-length HDPTP (Fig- 1Faculty of Life Sciences ure 1B; see also Figure S1A available online). 2Faculty of Human and Medical Sciences The UBAP1 binding region is confined to the putative V University of Manchester, Manchester M13 9PT, UK domain of HDPTP (Figure 1B; Figure S1A). Alix V domain contains a conserved pocket that binds a YPXnL motif within the late domain of HIV [3, 13]. One amino acid that is essential Summary for viral binding is F676, and a corresponding residue, F678, is found in HDPTP. A F678D mutation abolished HDPTP binding Endosomal sorting complexes required for transport to UBAP1 (Figure 1B; Figure S1A), but not to other interactors (ESCRTs) regulate several events involving membrane (data not shown). To assess the importance of F678 for HDPTP invagination, including multivesicular body (MVB) biogen- function, we treated cells with small interfering RNA (siRNA) esis, viral budding, and cytokinesis [1].
