Mouse Map4 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Map4 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Map4 knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6N) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Map4 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_001205330 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000032479 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 9. 19 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 2 and the TAA stop codon in exon 19 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000035055). Exon 4~13 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: Mice homozygous for a gene trapped allele are viable and do not display any overt phenotypic abnormalities. Exon 4 starts from about 8.68% of the coding region. Exon 4~13 covers 73.66% of the coding region. The size of effective KO region: ~42885 bp. The KO region does not have any other known gene.

Academic Editors: Gang Dong and William Tsang Received: 18 May 2015 / Accepted: 9 September 2015 / Published: 11 September 2015 Abstract: Cilia and flagella are highly conserved and important microtubule-based organelles that project from the surface of eukaryotic cells and act as antennae to sense extracellular signals. Moreover, cilia have emerged as key players in numerous physiological, developmental, and sensory processes such as hearing, olfaction, and photoreception. Genetic defects in ciliary proteins responsible for cilia formation, maintenance, or function underlie a wide array of human diseases like deafness, anosmia, and retinal degeneration in sensory systems. Impairment of more than one sensory organ results in numerous syndromic ciliary disorders like the autosomal recessive genetic diseases Bardet-Biedl and Usher syndrome. Here we describe the structure and distinct functional roles of cilia in sensory organs like the inner ear, the olfactory epithelium, and the retina of the mouse. The spectrum of ciliary function in fundamental cellular processes highlights the importance of elucidating ciliopathy-related proteins in order to find novel potential therapies.

  • Microtubule Organization and Microtubule- Associated Proteins (Maps)
    Chapter 3 Microtubule Organization and Microtubule- Associated Proteins (MAPs) Elena Tortosa, Lukas C. Kapitein, and Casper C. Hoogenraad Abstract Dendrites have a unique microtubule organization. In vertebrates, den- dritic microtubules are organized in antiparallel bundles, oriented with their plus ends either pointing away or toward the soma. The mixed microtubule arrays control intracellular trafficking and local signaling pathways, and are essential for dendrite development and function. The organization of microtubule arrays largely depends on the combined function of different microtubule regulatory factors or generally named microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs). Classical MAPs, also called structural MAPs, were identified more than 20 years ago based on their ability to bind to and copurify with microtubules. Most classical MAPs bind along the microtubule lattice and regulate microtubule polymerization, bundling, and stabilization. Recent evidences suggest that classical MAPs also guide motor protein transport, interact with the actin cytoskeleton, and act in various neuronal signaling networks. Here, we give an overview of microtubule organization in dendrites and the role of classical MAPs in dendrite development, dendritic spine formation, and synaptic plasticity. Keywords Neuron • Dendrite • Cytoskeleton • Microtubule • Microtubule- associated protein • MAP1 • MAP2 • MAP4 • MAP6 • MAP7 • MAP9 • Tau 3.1 Introduction Microtubules (MTs) are cytoskeletal structures that play essential roles in all eukaryotic cells. MTs are important not only during cell division but also in non-dividing cells, where they are critical structures in numerous cellular processes such as cell motility, migration, differentiation, intracellular transport and organelle positioning. MTs are composed of two proteins, α- and β-tubulin, that form heterodimers and organize themselves in a head-to-tail manner.

The website http://magi.plantgenomics.iastate.edu pro- vides access to IDP primer sequences, sequences from which IDP primers were designed, optimized marker- specific PCR conditions, and polymorphism data for all IDP markers. This new gene-based genetic map will facilitate a wide variety of genetic and genomic research projects, including map-based genome sequencing and gene cloning. The mosaic structures of the genomes of 91 IRILs, an important resource for identifying and mapping QTL and eQTL, were defined. Analyses of segregation data associated with markers genotyped in three B73/Mo17-derived mapping populations (F2, Syn5, and IBM) demonstrate that allele frequencies were significantly altered during the development of the IBM IRILs.

  • The MAP2/Tau Family of Microtubule-Associated Proteins Comment Leif Dehmelt and Shelley Halpain
    Protein family review The MAP2/Tau family of microtubule-associated proteins comment Leif Dehmelt and Shelley Halpain Address: Department of Cell Biology, The Scripps Research Institute and Institute for Childhood and Neglected Diseases, 10550 North Torrey Pines Rd, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA. Correspondence: Shelley Halpain. E-mail: [email protected] reviews Published: 23 December 2004 Genome Biology 2004, 6:204 The electronic version of this article is the complete one and can be found online at http://genomebiology.com/2004/6/1/204 © 2004 BioMed Central Ltd reports Summary Microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) of the MAP2/Tau family include the vertebrate proteins MAP2, MAP4, and Tau and homologs in other animals. All three vertebrate members of the family have alternative splice forms; all isoforms share a conserved carboxy-terminal domain containing microtubule-binding repeats, and an amino-terminal projection domain of varying size. deposited research MAP2 and Tau are found in neurons, whereas MAP4 is present in many other tissues but is generally absent from neurons. Members of the family are best known for their microtubule- stabilizing activity and for proposed roles regulating microtubule networks in the axons and dendrites of neurons. Contrary to this simple, traditional view, accumulating evidence suggests a much broader range of functions, such as binding to filamentous (F) actin, recruitment of signaling proteins, and regulation of microtubule-mediated transport. Tau is also implicated in Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. The ability of MAP2 to interact with both microtubules and F-actin might be critical for neuromorphogenic processes, such as neurite initiation, during which refereed research networks of microtubules and F-actin are reorganized in a coordinated manner.

  • Transposon Mutagenesis Identifies Genetic Drivers of Brafv600e Melanoma
    ARTICLES Transposon mutagenesis identifies genetic drivers of BrafV600E melanoma Michael B Mann1,2, Michael A Black3, Devin J Jones1, Jerrold M Ward2,12, Christopher Chin Kuan Yew2,12, Justin Y Newberg1, Adam J Dupuy4, Alistair G Rust5,12, Marcus W Bosenberg6,7, Martin McMahon8,9, Cristin G Print10,11, Neal G Copeland1,2,13 & Nancy A Jenkins1,2,13 Although nearly half of human melanomas harbor oncogenic BRAFV600E mutations, the genetic events that cooperate with these mutations to drive melanogenesis are still largely unknown. Here we show that Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposon-mediated mutagenesis drives melanoma progression in BrafV600E mutant mice and identify 1,232 recurrently mutated candidate cancer genes (CCGs) from 70 SB-driven melanomas. CCGs are enriched in Wnt, PI3K, MAPK and netrin signaling pathway components and are more highly connected to one another than predicted by chance, indicating that SB targets cooperative genetic networks in melanoma. Human orthologs of >500 CCGs are enriched for mutations in human melanoma or showed statistically significant clinical associations between RNA abundance and survival of patients with metastatic melanoma. We also functionally validate CEP350 as a new tumor-suppressor gene in human melanoma. SB mutagenesis has thus helped to catalog the cooperative molecular mechanisms driving BRAFV600E melanoma and discover new genes with potential clinical importance in human melanoma. Substantial sun exposure and numerous genetic factors, including including BrafV600E, recapitulate the genetic and histological hallmarks skin type and family history, are the most important melanoma risk of human melanoma.

  • Genomic Variants Within Chromosome 14Q32.32 Regulate Bone Mass Through MARK3 Signaling in Osteoblasts
    Genomic variants within chromosome 14q32.32 regulate bone mass through MARK3 signaling in osteoblasts Qian Zhang, … , Charles R. Farber, Thomas L. Clemens J Clin Invest. 2021;131(7):e142580. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI142580. Research Article Bone Biology Bone mineral density (BMD) is a highly heritable predictor of osteoporotic fracture. GWAS have identified hundreds of loci influencing BMD, but few have been functionally analyzed. In this study, we show that SNPs within a BMD locus on chromosome 14q32.32 alter splicing and expression of PAR-1a/microtubule affinity regulating kinase 3 (MARK3), a conserved serine/threonine kinase known to regulate bioenergetics, cell division, and polarity. Mice lacking Mark3 either globally or selectively in osteoblasts have increased bone mass at maturity. RNA profiling from Mark3-deficient osteoblasts suggested changes in the expression of components of the Notch signaling pathway. Mark3-deficient osteoblasts exhibited greater matrix mineralization compared with controls that was accompanied by reduced Jag1/Hes1 expression and diminished downstream JNK signaling. Overexpression of Jag1 in Mark3-deficient osteoblasts both in vitro and in vivo normalized mineralization capacity and bone mass, respectively. Together, these findings reveal a mechanism whereby genetically regulated alterations in Mark3 expression perturb cell signaling in osteoblasts to influence bone mass.

  • An Evolutionary Roadmap to the Microtubule-Associated Protein MAP Tau Frederik Sündermann1, Maria-Pilar Fernandez2 and Reginald O
    Sündermann et al. BMC Genomics (2016) 17:264 DOI 10.1186/s12864-016-2590-9 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access An evolutionary roadmap to the microtubule-associated protein MAP Tau Frederik Sündermann1, Maria-Pilar Fernandez2 and Reginald O. Morgan2* Abstract Background: The microtubule associated protein Tau (MAPT) promotes assembly and interaction of microtubules with the cytoskeleton, impinging on axonal transport and synaptic plasticity. Its neuronal expression and intrinsic disorder implicate it in some 30 tauopathies such as Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia. These pathophysiological studies have yet to be complemented by computational analyses of its molecular evolution and structural models of all its functional domains to explain the molecular basis for its conservation profile, its site-specific interactions and the propensity to conformational disorder and aggregate formation. Results: We systematically annotated public sequence data to reconstruct unspliced MAPT, MAP2 and MAP4 transcripts spanning all represented genomes. Bayesian and maximum likelihood phylogenetic analyses, genetic linkage maps and domain architectures distinguished a nonvertebrate outgroup from the emergence of MAP4 and its subsequent ancestral duplication to MAP2 and MAPT. These events were coupled to other linked genes such as KANSL1L and KANSL and may thus be consequent to large-scale chromosomal duplications originating in the extant vertebrate genomes of hagfish and lamprey. Profile hidden Markov models (pHMMs), clustered subalignments and 3D structural predictions defined potential interaction motifs and specificity determining sites to reveal distinct signatures between the four homologous microtubule binding domains and independent divergence of the amino terminus. Conclusion: These analyses clarified ambiguities of MAPT nomenclature, defined the order, timing and pattern of its molecular evolution and identified key residues and motifs relevant to its protein interaction properties and pathogenic role.
