Mitochondrial ribosomes (mitoribosomes) consist of a small 28S subunit and a large 39S subunit. They have an estimated 75% protein to rRNA composition compared to prokaryotic ribosomes, where this ratio is reversed. Another difference between mammalian mitoribosomes and prokaryotic ribosomes is that the latter contain a 5S rRNA. Among different species, the proteins comprising the mitoribosome differ greatly in sequence, and sometimes in biochemical properties, which prevents easy recognition by sequence homology. This gene encodes a 28S subunit protein that belongs to the ribosomal protein S18P family. The encoded protein is one of three that has significant sequence similarity to bacterial S18 proteins. The primary sequences of the three human mitochondrial S18 proteins are no more closely reSlated to angoneach other than they are to the prok aryBiotic S18 proteins. tPseuedogenches corresponding to this gene are found on chromosomes 1q and 2q.

Committee Chair signature: Investigation of Phosphorylated Proteins and Peptides in Human Cerebrospinal Fluid via High-Performance Liquid Chromatography Coupled to Elemental and Molecular Mass Spectrometry A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE In the Department of Chemistry of the College of Arts and Sciences By ORVILLE DEAN STUART B.S., Chemistry The University of Texas at Tyler, Tyler, Texas May 2006 Committee Chair: Joseph A. Caruso, Ph.D Abstract Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) surrounds and serves as a protective media for the brain and central nervous system (CNS). This fluid remains isolated from other biological matrices in normal bodily conditions, therefore, an in depth analysis of CSF has the potential to reveal important details and malfunctions of many diseases that plague the nervous system. Because phosphorylation of a wide variety of proteins governs the activity of biological enzymes and systems, a method for the detection of 31P in proteins found in human cerebrospinal fluid by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS) is described. Specifically, it is of interest to compare phosphorylated proteins/peptides from patients suffering from post subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) arterial vasospasms against CSF from non-diseased patients. -

Evidence for Differential Alternative Splicing in Blood of Young Boys With
Stamova et al. Molecular Autism 2013, 4:30 http://www.molecularautism.com/content/4/1/30 RESEARCH Open Access Evidence for differential alternative splicing in blood of young boys with autism spectrum disorders Boryana S Stamova1,2,5*, Yingfang Tian1,2,4, Christine W Nordahl1,3, Mark D Shen1,3, Sally Rogers1,3, David G Amaral1,3 and Frank R Sharp1,2 Abstract Background: Since RNA expression differences have been reported in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) for blood and brain, and differential alternative splicing (DAS) has been reported in ASD brains, we determined if there was DAS in blood mRNA of ASD subjects compared to typically developing (TD) controls, as well as in ASD subgroups related to cerebral volume. Methods: RNA from blood was processed on whole genome exon arrays for 2-4–year-old ASD and TD boys. An ANCOVA with age and batch as covariates was used to predict DAS for ALL ASD (n=30), ASD with normal total cerebral volumes (NTCV), and ASD with large total cerebral volumes (LTCV) compared to TD controls (n=20). Results: A total of 53 genes were predicted to have DAS for ALL ASD versus TD, 169 genes for ASD_NTCV versus TD, 1 gene for ASD_LTCV versus TD, and 27 genes for ASD_LTCV versus ASD_NTCV. These differences were significant at P <0.05 after false discovery rate corrections for multiple comparisons (FDR <5% false positives). A number of the genes predicted to have DAS in ASD are known to regulate DAS (SFPQ, SRPK1, SRSF11, SRSF2IP, FUS, LSM14A). In addition, a number of genes with predicted DAS are involved in pathways implicated in previous ASD studies, such as ROS monocyte/macrophage, Natural Killer Cell, mTOR, and NGF signaling. -
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). -

Genome-Wide Gene and Pathway Analysis
European Journal of Human Genetics (2010) 18, 1045–1053 & 2010 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 1018-4813/10 www.nature.com/ejhg ARTICLE Genome-wide gene and pathway analysis Li Luo1, Gang Peng1, Yun Zhu2, Hua Dong1,2, Christopher I Amos3 and Momiao Xiong*,1 Current GWAS have primarily focused on testing association of single SNPs. To only test for association of single SNPs has limited utility and is insufficient to dissect the complex genetic structure of many common diseases. To meet conceptual and technical challenges raised by GWAS, we suggest gene and pathway-based GWAS as complementary to the current single SNP-based GWAS. This publication develops three statistics for testing association of genes and pathways with disease: linear combination test, quadratic test and decorrelation test, which take correlations among SNPs within a gene or genes within a pathway into account. The null distribution of the suggested statistics is examined and the statistics are applied to GWAS of rheumatoid arthritis in the Wellcome Trust Case–Control Consortium and the North American Rheumatoid Arthritis Consortium studies. The preliminary results show that the suggested gene and pathway-based GWAS offer several remarkable features. First, not only can they identify the genes that have large genetic effects, but also they can detect new genes in which each single SNP conferred a small amount of disease risk, and their joint actions can be implicated in the development of diseases. Second, gene and pathway-based analysis can allow the formation of the core of pathway definition of complex diseases and unravel the functional bases of an association finding. -

Its yearling weight and carcass traits (backfat thickness, carcass weight, eye muscle area, and marbling score) are economically important for the selection of young and proven bulls. In recent decades, the advent of high throughput genotyping technologies has made it possible to perform genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for the detection of genomic regions associated with traits of economic interest in different species. In this study, we conducted a weighted single-step genome-wide association study which combines all genotypes, phenotypes and pedigree data in one step (ssGBLUP). It allows for the use of all SNPs simultaneously along with all phenotypes from genotyped and ungenotyped animals. Our results revealed 33 relevant genomic regions related to the traits of interest. -

Although chromatin profiling has proven to be a powerful method for mapping regulatory sequences in cultured cells, chromatin states characteristic of active developmental enhancers have not been directly identified in embryonic tissues. Here we use whole transcriptome analysis coupled with genome-wide profiling of H3K27ac and H3K27me3 to map chromatin states and enhancers in mouse embryonic forelimb and hindlimb. We show that gene expression differences between forelimb and hindlimb, and between limb and other embryonic cell types, are correlated with tissue-specific H3K27ac signatures at promoters and distal sites. -
