Mouse Trim41 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Trim41 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Trim41 knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Trim41 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_145377 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000040365 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 11. 6 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TGA stop codon in exon 6 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000047145). Exon 1~3 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: Exon 1 starts from the coding region. Exon 1~3 covers 60.32% of the coding region. The size of effective KO region: ~7606 bp. The KO region does not have any other known gene.

Glomerular development has been analyzed mainly in mice, whereas analysis of human kidney development has been minimal because of limited access to embryonic kidneys. We previously reported the induction of three-dimensional primordial glomeruli from human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Here, using transcription activator–like effector nuclease-mediated homologous recombination, we generated human iPS cell lines that express green fluorescent protein (GFP) in the NPHS1 locus, which encodes nephrin, and we show that GFP expression facilitated accurate visualization of nephrin-positive podocyte formation in

    Bioinformatics Tools for the Analysis of Gene-Phenotype Relationships Coupled with a Next Generation ChIP-Sequencing Data Processing Pipeline Erinija Pranckeviciene Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate in Philosophy degree in Cellular and Molecular Medicine Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine Faculty of Medicine University of Ottawa c Erinija Pranckeviciene, Ottawa, Canada, 2015 Abstract The rapidly advancing high-throughput and next generation sequencing technologies facilitate deeper insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the expression of phenotypes in living organisms. Experimental data and scientific publications following this technological advance- ment have rapidly accumulated in public databases. Meaningful analysis of currently avail- able data in genomic databases requires sophisticated computational tools and algorithms, and presents considerable challenges to molecular biologists without specialized training in bioinfor- matics. To study their phenotype of interest molecular biologists must prioritize large lists of poorly characterized genes generated in high-throughput experiments. To date, prioritization tools have primarily been designed to work with phenotypes of human diseases as defined by the genes known to be associated with those diseases. There is therefore a need for more prioritiza- tion tools for phenotypes which are not related with diseases generally or diseases with which no genes have yet been associated in particular. Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by next generation sequencing (ChIP-Seq) is a method of choice to study the gene regulation processes responsible for the expression of cellular phenotypes. Among publicly available computational pipelines for the processing of ChIP-Seq data, there is a lack of tools for the downstream analysis of composite motifs and preferred binding distances of the DNA binding proteins.

E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract E3 ligases and degrons --the sequences they recognize in target proteins-- are key parts of the ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis system. There are several examples of alterations of these two components of the system that play a role in cancer. Here, we uncovered the landscape of the contribution of such alterations to tumorigenesis across cancer types. We first systematically identified novel instances of degrons across the human proteome using a random forest classifier, and validated them exploiting somatic mutations across more than 7,000 tumors. We detected signals of positive selection across these novel degrons and revealed new instances involved in cancer development. Overall, we estimated that at least one in seven driver mutations across primary tumors affect either degrons or E3 ligases.

Lluis Companys 23, Barcelona 08010, Spain *Corresponding authors: Luciano Di Croce ([email protected]) Sergi Aranda ([email protected]) 1 GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT Chromatin-bound proteins regulate gene expression, replicate and repair DNA, and transmit epigenetic information. Several human diseases are highly influenced by alterations in the chromatin- bound proteome. Thus, biochemical approaches for the systematic characterization of the chromatome could contribute to identifying new regulators of cellular functionality, including those that are relevant to human disorders. 2 SUMMARY Chromatin-bound proteins underlie several fundamental cellular functions, such as control of gene expression and the faithful transmission of genetic and epigenetic information. Components of the chromatin proteome (the “chromatome”) are essential in human life, and mutations in chromatin-bound proteins are frequently drivers of human diseases, such as cancer. Proteomic characterization of chromatin and de novo identification of chromatin interactors could thus reveal important and perhaps unexpected players implicated in human physiology and disease. Recently, intensive research efforts have focused on developing strategies to characterize the chromatome composition. In this review, we provide an overview of the dynamic composition of the chromatome, highlight the importance of its alterations as a driving force in human disease (and particularly in cancer), and discuss the different approaches to systematically characterize the chromatin-bound proteome in a global manner.

  • To Ubiquitinate Or Not to Ubiquitinate: TRIM17 in Cell Life and Death
    cells Review To Ubiquitinate or Not to Ubiquitinate: TRIM17 in Cell Life and Death Meenakshi Basu-Shrivastava † , Alina Kozoriz † , Solange Desagher and Iréna Lassot * Institut de Génétique Moléculaire de Montpellier, University Montpellier, CNRS, Montpellier, France; [email protected] (M.B.-S.); [email protected] (A.K.); [email protected] (S.D.) * Correspondence: [email protected] † These authors contribute equally to this review. Abstract: TRIM17 is a member of the TRIM family, a large class of RING-containing E3 ubiquitin- ligases. It is expressed at low levels in adult tissues, except in testis and in some brain regions. However, it can be highly induced in stress conditions which makes it a putative stress sensor required for the triggering of key cellular responses. As most TRIM members, TRIM17 can act as an E3 ubiquitin-ligase and promote the degradation by the proteasome of substrates such as the antiapoptotic protein MCL1. Intriguingly, TRIM17 can also prevent the ubiquitination of other proteins and stabilize them, by binding to other TRIM proteins and inhibiting their E3 ubiquitin-ligase activity. This duality of action confers several pivotal roles to TRIM17 in crucial cellular processes such as apoptosis, autophagy or cell division, but also in pathological conditions as diverse as Parkinson’s disease or cancer. Here, in addition to recent data that endorse this duality, we review what is currently known from public databases and the literature about TRIM17 gene regulation and expression, TRIM17 protein structure and interactions, as well as its involvement in cell physiology and human disorders.

Mezlini1,2,3,4*, Sudeshna Das 1,2, Anna Goldenberg 3,4 1 Harvard Medical School. Boston 2 Massachusetts General Hospital. Boston 3 Department of Computer Science. University of Toronto. 4 Hospital for sick children. Toronto * [email protected] Abstract Most two-group statistical tests are implicitly looking for a broad pattern such as an overall shift in mean, median or variance between the two groups. Therefore, they operate best in settings where the effect of interest is uniformly affecting everyone in one group versus the other. In real-world applications, there are many scenarios where the effect of interest is heterogeneous. For example, a drug that works very well on only a proportion of patients and is equivalent to a placebo on the remaining patients, or a disease associated gene expression dysregulation that only occurs in a proportion of cases whereas the remaining cases have expression levels indistinguishable from the controls for the considered gene. In these examples with heterogeneous effect, we believe that using classical two-group statistical tests may not be the most powerful way to detect the signal. In this paper, we developed a statistical test targeting heterogeneous effects and demonstrated its power in a controlled simulation setting compared to existing methods.

  • Developmental Retardation Due to Paternal 5Q/11Q Translocation in a Chinese Infant: Clinical, Chromosomal and Microarray Characterization

E-mail: [email protected]. Received 12 June 2018; revised 18 April 2019; accepted 19 May 2019 Abstract. Although it is known that the parental carriers of chromosomal translocation are considered to be at high risk for spontaneous abortion and embryonic death, normal gestation and delivery remain possible. This study aims to investigate the genetic factors of a Chinese infant with multiple malformations and severe postnatal development retardation. In this study, the routine cytogenetic analysis, chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis were performed. Conventional karyotype analyses revealed normal karyotypes of all family members. CMA of the DNA of the proband revealed a 8.3 Mb duplication of 5q35.1-qter and a 6.9 Mb deletion of 11q24.3-qter. FISH analyses verified a paternal tiny translocation between the long arm of chromosomes 5 and 11. Our investigation serves to provide important information on genetic counselling for the patient and future pregnancies in this family. Moreover, the combined use of CMA and FISH is effective for clarifying pathogenically submicroscopic copy number variants.

  • Condensin I Associates with Structural and Gene Regulatory Regions in Vertebrate Chromosomes
    ARTICLE Received 17 May 2013 | Accepted 3 Sep 2013 | Published 3 Oct 2013 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms3537 Condensin I associates with structural and gene regulatory regions in vertebrate chromosomes Ji Hun Kim1,2, Tao Zhang1,2, Nicholas C. Wong1,3,4, Nadia Davidson1, Jovana Maksimovic1, Alicia Oshlack1,2, William C. Earnshaw5, Paul Kalitsis1,2 & Damien F. Hudson1,2 The condensin complex is essential for correct packaging and segregation of chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis in all eukaryotes. To date, the genome-wide location and the nature of condensin-binding sites have remained elusive in vertebrates. Here we report the genome-wide map of condensin I in chicken DT40 cells. Unexpectedly, we find that con- densin I binds predominantly to promoter sequences in mitotic cells. We also find a striking enrichment at both centromeres and telomeres, highlighting the importance of the complex in chromosome segregation. Taken together, the results show that condensin I is largely absent from heterochromatic regions. This map of the condensin I binding sites on the chicken genome reveals that patterns of condensin distribution on chromosomes are conserved from prokaryotes, through yeasts to vertebrates. Thus in three kingdoms of life, condensin is enriched on promoters of actively transcribed genes and at loci important for chromosome segregation. 1 Murdoch Childrens Research Institute, Royal Children’s Hospital, Parkville, Melbourne, Victoria 3052, Australia. 2 Department of Paediatrics, University of Melbourne, Parkville, Melbourne, Victoria 3052, Australia. 3 Ludwig Institute of Cancer Research, Olivia Newton John Cancer and Wellness Centre, Austin Hospital, Heidelberg, Melbourne, Victoria 3084, Australia. 4 Department of Pathology, University of Melbourne, Parkville, Melbourne, Victoria 3052, Australia.
