Mouse Plcd3 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Plcd3 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Plcd3 conditional knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Plcd3 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_152813 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000020937 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 11. 15 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TGA stop codon in exon 15 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000103077). Exon 9~10 will be selected as conditional knockout region (cKO region). Deletion of this region should result in the loss of function of the Mouse Plcd3 gene. To engineer the targeting vector, homologous arms and cKO region will be generated by PCR using BAC clone RP23-133L3 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 9 starts from about 59.53% of the coding region. The knockout of Exon 9~10 will result in frameshift of the gene. The size of intron 8 for 5'-loxP site insertion: 1710 bp, and the size of intron 10 for 3'-loxP site insertion: 714 bp. The size of effective cKO region: ~945 bp. The cKO region does not have any other known gene.

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

  • Alopecia in a Viable Phospholipase C Delta 1 and Phospholipase C Delta 3 Double Mutant
    Alopecia in a Viable Phospholipase C Delta 1 and Phospholipase C Delta 3 Double Mutant Fabian Runkel1¤, Maik Hintze1,2, Sebastian Griesing1,2, Marion Michels1, Birgit Blanck1, Kiyoko Fukami3, Jean-Louis Gue´net4, Thomas Franz1* 1 Anatomisches Institut, Universita¨t Bonn, Bonn, Germany, 2 Studiengang Molekulare Biomedizin, LIMES, Bonn, Germany, 3 Laboratory of Genome and Biosignal, Tokyo University of Pharmacy and Life Science, Hachioji-city, Tokyo, Japan, 4 De´partement de Biologie du De´veloppement, Institut Pasteur, Paris, France Abstract Background: Inositol 1,4,5trisphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG) are important intracellular signalling molecules in various tissues. They are generated by the phospholipase C family of enzymes, of which phospholipase C delta (PLCD) forms one class. Studies with functional inactivation of Plcd isozyme encoding genes in mice have revealed that loss of both Plcd1 and Plcd3 causes early embryonic death. Inactivation of Plcd1 alone causes loss of hair (alopecia), whereas inactivation of Plcd3 alone has no apparent phenotypic effect. To investigate a possible synergy of Plcd1 and Plcd3 in postnatal mice, novel mutations of these genes compatible with life after birth need to be found. Methodology/Principal Findings: We characterise a novel mouse mutant with a spontaneously arisen mutation in Plcd3 (Plcd3mNab) that resulted from the insertion of an intracisternal A particle (IAP) into intron 2 of the Plcd3 gene. This mutation leads to the predominant expression of a truncated PLCD3 protein lacking the N-terminal PH domain. C3H mice that carry one or two mutant Plcd3mNab alleles are phenotypically normal. However, the presence of one Plcd3mNab allele exacerbates the alopecia caused by the loss of functional Plcd1 in Del(9)olt1Pas mutant mice with respect to the number of hair follicles affected and the body region involved.

  • The Protein Phosphatase PP2A Plays Multiple Roles in Plant Development by Regulation of Vesicle Traffic—Facts and Questions
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review The Protein Phosphatase PP2A Plays Multiple Roles in Plant Development by Regulation of Vesicle Traffic—Facts and Questions Csaba Máthé *, Márta M-Hamvas, Csongor Freytag and Tamás Garda Department of Botany, Faculty of Science and Technology, University of Debrecen, H-4032 Debrecen, Hungary; [email protected] (M.M.-H.); [email protected] (C.F.); [email protected] (T.G.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The protein phosphatase PP2A is essential for the control of integrated eukaryotic cell functioning. Several cellular and developmental events, e.g., plant growth regulator (PGR) mediated signaling pathways are regulated by reversible phosphorylation of vesicle traffic proteins. Reviewing present knowledge on the relevant role of PP2A is timely. We discuss three aspects: (1) PP2A regulates microtubule-mediated vesicle delivery during cell plate assembly. PP2A dephosphorylates members of the microtubule associated protein family MAP65, promoting their binding to microtubules. Regulation of phosphatase activity leads to changes in microtubule organization, which affects vesicle traffic towards cell plate and vesicle fusion to build the new cell wall between dividing cells. (2) PP2A-mediated inhibition of target of rapamycin complex (TORC) dependent signaling pathways contributes to autophagy and this has possible connections to the brassinosteroid signaling pathway. (3) Transcytosis of vesicles transporting PIN auxin efflux carriers. PP2A regulates vesicle localization and recycling of PINs related to GNOM (a GTP–GDP exchange factor) mediated pathways. The proper intracellular traffic of PINs is essential for auxin distribution in the plant body, thus in whole Citation: Máthé, C.; M-Hamvas, M.; plant development.

  • Activation of Mesangial Cells by the Phosphatase Inhibitor Vanadate
    Activation of mesangial cells by the phosphatase inhibitor vanadate. Potential implications for diabetic nephropathy. U O Wenzel, … , G G Choudhury, H E Abboud J Clin Invest. 1995;95(3):1244-1252. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI117774. Research Article The metalion vanadate has insulin-like effects and has been advocated for use in humans as a therapeutic modality for diabetes mellitus. However, since vanadate is a tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor, it may result in undesirable activation of target cells. We studied the effect of vanadate on human mesangial cells, an important target in diabetic nephropathy. Vanadate stimulated DNA synthesis and PDGF B chain gene expression. Vanadate also inhibited total tyrosine phosphatase activity and stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of a set of cellular proteins. Two chemically and mechanistically dissimilar tyrosine kinase inhibitors, genistein and herbimycin A, blocked DNA synthesis induced by vanadate. Vanadate also stimulated phospholipase C and protein kinase C. Downregulation of protein kinase C abolished vanadate-induced DNA synthesis. Thus, vanadate-induced mitogenesis is dependent on tyrosine kinases and protein kinase C activation. The most likely mechanism for the effect of vanadate on these diverse processes involves the inhibition of cellular phosphotyrosine phosphatases. These studies demonstrating that vanadate activates mesangial cells may have major implications for the therapeutic potential of vanadate administration in diabetes. Although vanadate exerts beneficial insulin-like effects and potentiates the effect of insulin in sensitive tissue, it may result in undesirable activation of other target cells, such as mesangial cells.

  • Interface of Phospholipase Activity, Immune Cell Function, and Atherosclerosis

Woolard * Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, Shreveport, LA 71130, USA; [email protected] (R.M.S.); [email protected] (C.M.R.B.); [email protected] (T.T.B.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-(318)-675-4160 These authors contributed equally to this work. y Received: 12 September 2020; Accepted: 13 October 2020; Published: 15 October 2020 Abstract: Phospholipases are a family of lipid-altering enzymes that can either reduce or increase bioactive lipid levels. Bioactive lipids elicit signaling responses, activate transcription factors, promote G-coupled-protein activity, and modulate membrane fluidity, which mediates cellular function. Phospholipases and the bioactive lipids they produce are important regulators of immune cell activity, dictating both pro-inflammatory and pro-resolving activity. During atherosclerosis, pro-inflammatory and pro-resolving activities govern atherosclerosis progression and regression, respectively. This review will look at the interface of phospholipase activity, immune cell function, and atherosclerosis. Keywords: atherosclerosis; phospholipases; macrophages; T cells; lipins 1. Introduction All cellular membranes are composed mostly of phospholipids. Phospholipids are amphiphilic compounds with a hydrophilic, negatively charged phosphate group head and two hydrophobic fatty acid tail residues [1]. The glycerophospholipids, phospholipids with glycerol backbones, are the largest group of phospholipids, which are classified by the modification of the head group [1]. The negatively charged phosphate head forms an ionic bond with an amino alcohol. This bridges the glycerol backbone to the nitrogenous functional group (amino alcohol).

To define GK’s role in insulin resistance, we examined gene expression in brown adipose tissue in a glycerol kinase knockout (KO) mouse model using microarray analysis. Global gene expression profiles of KO mice were distinct from wild type with 668 differentially expressed genes. These include genes involved in lipid metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, insulin signaling, and insulin resistance. Real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis confirmed the differential expression of selected genes involved in lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. PathwayAssist analysis confirmed direct and indirect connections between glycerol kinase and genes in lipid metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, insulin signaling, and insulin resistance.
