Mouse Apba2 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Apba2 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Apba2 conditional knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Apba2 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_007461 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000030519 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 7. 15 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 4 and the TAG stop codon in exon 15 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000032732). Exon 5~6 will be selected as conditional knockout region (cKO region). Deletion of this region should result in the loss of function of the Mouse Apba2 gene. To engineer the targeting vector, homologous arms and cKO region will be generated by PCR using BAC clone RP23-23D18 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: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene show a selective deficit in motivated approach behavior, but not in motivated avoidance behavior. Exon 5 starts from about 42.44% of the coding region. The knockout of Exon 5~6 will result in frameshift of the gene. The size of intron 4 for 5'-loxP site insertion: 18413 bp, and the size of intron 6 for 3'-loxP site insertion: 17965 bp. The size of effective cKO region: ~1617 bp. The cKO region does not have any other known gene.

  • Genome-Wide Analysis of Host-Chromosome Binding Sites For
    Lu et al. Virology Journal 2010, 7:262 http://www.virologyj.com/content/7/1/262 RESEARCH Open Access Genome-wide analysis of host-chromosome binding sites for Epstein-Barr Virus Nuclear Antigen 1 (EBNA1) Fang Lu1, Priyankara Wikramasinghe1, Julie Norseen1,2, Kevin Tsai1, Pu Wang1, Louise Showe1, Ramana V Davuluri1, Paul M Lieberman1* Abstract The Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) Nuclear Antigen 1 (EBNA1) protein is required for the establishment of EBV latent infection in proliferating B-lymphocytes. EBNA1 is a multifunctional DNA-binding protein that stimulates DNA replication at the viral origin of plasmid replication (OriP), regulates transcription of viral and cellular genes, and tethers the viral episome to the cellular chromosome. EBNA1 also provides a survival function to B-lymphocytes, potentially through its ability to alter cellular gene expression. To better understand these various functions of EBNA1, we performed a genome-wide analysis of the viral and cellular DNA sites associated with EBNA1 protein in a latently infected Burkitt lymphoma B-cell line. Chromatin-immunoprecipitation (ChIP) combined with massively parallel deep-sequencing (ChIP-Seq) was used to identify cellular sites bound by EBNA1. Sites identified by ChIP- Seq were validated by conventional real-time PCR, and ChIP-Seq provided quantitative, high-resolution detection of the known EBNA1 binding sites on the EBV genome at OriP and Qp. We identified at least one cluster of unusually high-affinity EBNA1 binding sites on chromosome 11, between the divergent FAM55 D and FAM55B genes. A con- sensus for all cellular EBNA1 binding sites is distinct from those derived from the known viral binding sites, sug- gesting that some of these sites are indirectly bound by EBNA1.

Background Amyloid β A4 precursor protein-binding family A member 2 (APBA2) is a neuronal adaptor protein that interacts with the amyloid β precursor protein (APP) (1). The amyloid β-protein (Aβ) is the principal component of amyloid plaques, a pathological hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease (2). APBA2 has been shown to stabilize APP metabolism and suppress the secretion of Aβ (3). APBA2 mediates interaction between APP and the neural type I membrane protein Alcadein (Alc) by linking their cytoplasmic domains, thereby forming a tripartite complex of the three proteins in neurons (4).

Published OnlineFirst April 5, 2021; DOI: 10.1158/2159-8290.CD-20-1677 ABSTRACT The adoptive transfer of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells represents a breakthrough in clinical oncology, yet both between- and within-patient differences in autologously derived T cells are a major contributor to therapy failure. To interrogate the molecular determinants of clinical CAR T-cell persistence, we extensively characterized the premanufacture T cells of 71 patients with B-cell malignancies on trial to receive anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy. We performed RNA-sequencing analysis on sorted T-cell subsets from all 71 patients, followed by paired Cellular Indexing of Transcriptomes and Epitopes (CITE) sequencing and single-cell assay for transposase-accessible chromatin sequencing (scATAC-seq) on T cells from six of these patients. We found that chronic IFN signaling regulated by IRF7 was associated with poor CAR T-cell persistence across T-cell subsets, and that the TCF7 regulon not only associates with the favorable naïve T-cell state, but is maintained in effector T cells among patients with long-term CAR T-cell persistence.

  • Gene Ontology Functional Annotations and Pleiotropy
    Network based analysis of genetic disease associations Sarah Gilman Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2013 Sarah Gilman All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Network based analysis of genetic disease associations Sarah Gilman Despite extensive efforts and many promising early findings, genome-wide association studies have explained only a small fraction of the genetic factors contributing to common human diseases. There are many theories about where this “missing heritability” might lie, but increasingly the prevailing view is that common variants, the target of GWAS, are not solely responsible for susceptibility to common diseases and a substantial portion of human disease risk will be found among rare variants. Relatively new, such variants have not been subject to purifying selection, and therefore may be particularly pertinent for neuropsychiatric disorders and other diseases with greatly reduced fecundity. Recently, several researchers have made great progress towards uncovering the genetics behind autism and schizophrenia. By sequencing families, they have found hundreds of de novo variants occurring only in affected individuals, both large structural copy number variants and single nucleotide variants. Despite studying large cohorts there has been little recurrence among the genes implicated suggesting that many hundreds of genes may underlie these complex phenotypes. The question

    APBA2 blocking peptide (CDBP5073) This product is for research use only and is not intended for diagnostic use. PRODUCT INFORMATION Antigen Description The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the X11 protein family. It is a neuronal adapter protein that interacts with the Alzheimer's disease amyloid precursor protein (APP). It stabilizes APP and inhibits production of proteolytic APP fragments including the A beta peptide that is deposited in the brains of Alzheimer's disease patients. This gene product is believed to be involved in signal transduction processes. It is also regarded as a putative vesicular trafficking protein in the brain that can form a complex with the potential to couple synaptic vesicle exocytosis to neuronal cell adhesion. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] Immunogen 18 amino acids near the amino terminus of human APBA2.

  • Gene Networks Activated by Specific Patterns of Action Potentials in Dorsal Root Ganglia Neurons Received: 10 August 2016 Philip R
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Gene networks activated by specific patterns of action potentials in dorsal root ganglia neurons Received: 10 August 2016 Philip R. Lee1,*, Jonathan E. Cohen1,*, Dumitru A. Iacobas2,3, Sanda Iacobas2 & Accepted: 23 January 2017 R. Douglas Fields1 Published: 03 March 2017 Gene regulatory networks underlie the long-term changes in cell specification, growth of synaptic connections, and adaptation that occur throughout neonatal and postnatal life. Here we show that the transcriptional response in neurons is exquisitely sensitive to the temporal nature of action potential firing patterns. Neurons were electrically stimulated with the same number of action potentials, but with different inter-burst intervals. We found that these subtle alterations in the timing of action potential firing differentially regulates hundreds of genes, across many functional categories, through the activation or repression of distinct transcriptional networks. Our results demonstrate that the transcriptional response in neurons to environmental stimuli, coded in the pattern of action potential firing, can be very sensitive to the temporal nature of action potential delivery rather than the intensity of stimulation or the total number of action potentials delivered. These data identify temporal kinetics of action potential firing as critical components regulating intracellular signalling pathways and gene expression in neurons to extracellular cues during early development and throughout life. Adaptation in the nervous system in response to external stimuli requires synthesis of new gene products in order to elicit long lasting changes in processes such as development, response to injury, learning, and memory1. Information in the environment is coded in the pattern of action-potential firing, therefore gene transcription must be regulated by the pattern of neuronal firing.

  • An Application for CEN Module Extraction And
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN THD-Module Extractor: An Application for CEN Module Extraction and Interesting Gene Received: 30 June 2016 Accepted: 03 November 2016 Identification for Alzheimer’s Published: 30 November 2016 Disease Tulika Kakati1, Hirak Kashyap2 & Dhruba K. Bhattacharyya1 There exist many tools and methods for construction of co-expression network from gene expression data and for extraction of densely connected gene modules. In this paper, a method is introduced to construct co-expression network and to extract co-expressed modules having high biological significance. The proposed method has been validated on several well known microarray datasets extracted from a diverse set of species, using statistical measures, such as p and q values. The modules obtained in these studies are found to be biologically significant based on Gene Ontology enrichment analysis, pathway analysis, and KEGG enrichment analysis. Further, the method was applied on an Alzheimer’s disease dataset and some interesting genes are found, which have high semantic similarity among them, but are not significantly correlated in terms of expression similarity. Some of these interesting genes, such as MAPT, CASP2, and PSEN2, are linked with important aspects of Alzheimer’s disease, such as dementia, increase cell death, and deposition of amyloid-beta proteins in Alzheimer’s disease brains. The biological pathways associated with Alzheimer’s disease, such as, Wnt signaling, Apoptosis, p53 signaling, and Notch signaling, incorporate these interesting genes. The proposed method is evaluated in regard to existing literature. The volume of data obtained by microarray or other new high throughput technologies have been increasing enormously, and as a result, the biological databases are growing enormously.

  • Human Chromosome 15Q11-Q14 Regions of Rearrangements Contain Clusters of LCR15 Duplicons
    European Journal of Human Genetics (2002) 10, 26 ± 35 ã 2002 Nature Publishing Group All rights reserved 1018-4813/02 $25.00 www.nature.com/ejhg ARTICLE Human chromosome 15q11-q14 regions of rearrangements contain clusters of LCR15 duplicons Miguel Angel Pujana1, Marga Nadal1, Miriam Guitart2, LluõÂs Armengol1,MoÁnica GratacoÁs1 and Xavier Estivill*,1 1Centre de GeneÁtica MeÁdicaiMolecular-IRO,HospitalDuraniReynals,GranVõÂa km 2.7, 08907 L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Barcelona, Spain; 2Corporacio Parc TaulõÂ, Laboratori de GeneÁtica, Sabadell, Spain Six breakpoint regions for rearrangements of human chromosome 15q11-q14 have been described. These rearrangements involve deletions found in approximately 70% of Prader-Willi or Angelman's syndrome patients (PWS, AS), duplications detected in some cases of autism, triplications and inverted duplications. HERC2-containing (HEct domain and RCc1 domain protein 2) segmental duplications or duplicons are present at two of these breakpoints (BP2 and BP3) mainly associated with deletions. We show here that clusters containing several copies of the human chromosome 15 low-copy repeat (LCR15) duplicon are located at each of the six described 15q11-q14 BPs. In addition, our results suggest the existence of breakpoints for large 15q11-q13 deletions in a proximal duplicon-containing clone. The study reveals that HERC2-containing duplicons (estimated on 50 ± 400 kb) and LCR15 duplicons (*15 kb on 15q11-q14) share the golgin-like protein (GLP) genomic sequence. Through the analysis of a human BAC library and public databases we have identified 36 LCR15 related sequences in the human genome, most (27) mapping to chromosome 15q and being transcribed. LCR15 analysis in non-human primates and age-sequence divergences support a recent origin of this family of segmental duplications through human speciation.
