The Purification and Identification of Interactors to Elucidate Novel Connections in the HEK 293 Cell Line
The Purification and Identification of Interactors to Elucidate Novel Connections in the HEK 293 Cell Line Brett Hawley Biochemistry, Microbiology and Immunology Faculty of Medicine University of Ottawa © Brett Hawley, Ottawa, Canada, 2012 ABSTRACT The field of proteomics studies the structure and function of proteins in a large scale and high throughput manner. My work in the field of proteomics focuses on identifying interactions between proteins and discovering novel interactions. The identification of these interactions provides new information on metabolic and disease pathways and the working proteome of a cell. Cells are lysed and purified using antibody based affinity purification followed by digestion and identification using an HPLC coupled to a mass spectrometer. In my studies, I looked at the interaction networks of several AD related genes (Apolipoprotein E, Clusterin variant 1 and 2, Low-density lipoprotein receptor, Phosphatidylinositol binding clathrin assembly protein, Alpha- synuclein and Platelet-activating factor receptor) and an endosomal recycling pathway involved in cholesterol metabolism (Eps15 homology domain 1,2 and 4, Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 and Low-density lipoprotein receptor). Several novel and existing interactors were identified and these interactions were validated using co-immunopurification, which could be the basis for future research. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to take this opportunity to thank my supervisor, Dr. Daniel Figeys, for his support and guidance throughout my studies in his lab. It was a great experience to work in his lab and I am very thankful I was given the chance to learn and work under him. I would also like to thank the members of my lab for all their assistance in learning new techniques and equipment in the lab. -

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated. -
4-6 Weeks Old Female C57BL/6 Mice Obtained from Jackson Labs Were Used for Cell Isolation
Methods Mice: 4-6 weeks old female C57BL/6 mice obtained from Jackson labs were used for cell isolation. Female Foxp3-IRES-GFP reporter mice (1), backcrossed to B6/C57 background for 10 generations, were used for the isolation of naïve CD4 and naïve CD8 cells for the RNAseq experiments. The mice were housed in pathogen-free animal facility in the La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology and were used according to protocols approved by the Institutional Animal Care and use Committee. Preparation of cells: Subsets of thymocytes were isolated by cell sorting as previously described (2), after cell surface staining using CD4 (GK1.5), CD8 (53-6.7), CD3ε (145- 2C11), CD24 (M1/69) (all from Biolegend). DP cells: CD4+CD8 int/hi; CD4 SP cells: CD4CD3 hi, CD24 int/lo; CD8 SP cells: CD8 int/hi CD4 CD3 hi, CD24 int/lo (Fig S2). Peripheral subsets were isolated after pooling spleen and lymph nodes. T cells were enriched by negative isolation using Dynabeads (Dynabeads untouched mouse T cells, 11413D, Invitrogen). After surface staining for CD4 (GK1.5), CD8 (53-6.7), CD62L (MEL-14), CD25 (PC61) and CD44 (IM7), naïve CD4+CD62L hiCD25-CD44lo and naïve CD8+CD62L hiCD25-CD44lo were obtained by sorting (BD FACS Aria). Additionally, for the RNAseq experiments, CD4 and CD8 naïve cells were isolated by sorting T cells from the Foxp3- IRES-GFP mice: CD4+CD62LhiCD25–CD44lo GFP(FOXP3)– and CD8+CD62LhiCD25– CD44lo GFP(FOXP3)– (antibodies were from Biolegend). In some cases, naïve CD4 cells were cultured in vitro under Th1 or Th2 polarizing conditions (3, 4). -

A Human Population-Based Organotypic in Vitro Model for Cardiotoxicity Screening1
ALTEX preprint published July 8, 2018 doi:10.14573/altex.1805301 Research Article A human population-based organotypic in vitro model for cardiotoxicity screening1 Fabian A. Grimm1, Alexander Blanchette1, John S. House2, Kyle Ferguson1, Nan-Hung Hsieh1, Chimeddulam Dalaijamts1, Alec A. Wright1, Blake Anson5, Fred A. Wright3,4, Weihsueh A. Chiu1, Ivan Rusyn1 1Department of Veterinary Integrative Biosciences, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX, USA; 2Bioinformatics Research Center, 3Department of Biological Sciences, and 4Department of Statistics, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC, USA; 5Cellular Dynamics International, Madison, WI, USA Abstract Assessing inter-individual variability in responses to xenobiotics remains a substantial challenge, both in drug development with respect to pharmaceuticals and in public health with respect to environmental chemicals. Although approaches exist to characterize pharmacokinetic variability, there are no methods to routinely address pharmacodynamic variability. In this study, we aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of characterizing inter-individual variability in a human in vitro model. Specifically, we hypothesized that genetic variability across a population of iPSC- derived cardiomyocytes translates into reproducible variability in both baseline phenotypes and drug responses. We measured baseline and drug-related effects in iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes from 27 healthy donors on kinetic Ca2+ flux and high-content live cell imaging. Cells were treated in concentration-response with cardiotoxic drugs: isoproterenol (β- adrenergic receptor agonist/positive inotrope), propranolol (β-adrenergic receptor antagonist/negative inotrope), and cisapride (hERG channel inhibitor/QT prolongation). Cells from four of the 27 donors were further evaluated in terms of baseline and treatment-related gene expression. Reproducibility of phenotypic responses was evaluated across batches and time. -
Genes with 5' Terminal Oligopyrimidine Tracts Preferentially Escape Global Suppression of Translation by the SARS-Cov-2 NSP1 Protein
Downloaded from rnajournal.cshlp.org on September 28, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Genes with 5′ terminal oligopyrimidine tracts preferentially escape global suppression of translation by the SARS-CoV-2 Nsp1 protein Shilpa Raoa, Ian Hoskinsa, Tori Tonna, P. Daniela Garciaa, Hakan Ozadama, Elif Sarinay Cenika, Can Cenika,1 a Department of Molecular Biosciences, University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX 78712, USA 1Corresponding author: [email protected] Key words: SARS-CoV-2, Nsp1, MeTAFlow, translation, ribosome profiling, RNA-Seq, 5′ TOP, Ribo-Seq, gene expression 1 Downloaded from rnajournal.cshlp.org on September 28, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Abstract Viruses rely on the host translation machinery to synthesize their own proteins. Consequently, they have evolved varied mechanisms to co-opt host translation for their survival. SARS-CoV-2 relies on a non-structural protein, Nsp1, for shutting down host translation. However, it is currently unknown how viral proteins and host factors critical for viral replication can escape a global shutdown of host translation. Here, using a novel FACS-based assay called MeTAFlow, we report a dose-dependent reduction in both nascent protein synthesis and mRNA abundance in cells expressing Nsp1. We perform RNA-Seq and matched ribosome profiling experiments to identify gene-specific changes both at the mRNA expression and translation level. We discover that a functionally-coherent subset of human genes are preferentially translated in the context of Nsp1 expression. These genes include the translation machinery components, RNA binding proteins, and others important for viral pathogenicity. Importantly, we uncovered a remarkable enrichment of 5′ terminal oligo-pyrimidine (TOP) tracts among preferentially translated genes.
