  • The Function and Evolution of C2H2 Zinc Finger Proteins and Transposons
    The function and evolution of C2H2 zinc finger proteins and transposons by Laura Francesca Campitelli A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Molecular Genetics University of Toronto © Copyright by Laura Francesca Campitelli 2020 The function and evolution of C2H2 zinc finger proteins and transposons Laura Francesca Campitelli Doctor of Philosophy Department of Molecular Genetics University of Toronto 2020 Abstract Transcription factors (TFs) confer specificity to transcriptional regulation by binding specific DNA sequences and ultimately affecting the ability of RNA polymerase to transcribe a locus. The C2H2 zinc finger proteins (C2H2 ZFPs) are a TF class with the unique ability to diversify their DNA-binding specificities in a short evolutionary time. C2H2 ZFPs comprise the largest class of TFs in Mammalian genomes, including nearly half of all Human TFs (747/1,639). Positive selection on the DNA-binding specificities of C2H2 ZFPs is explained by an evolutionary arms race with endogenous retroelements (EREs; copy-and-paste transposable elements), where the C2H2 ZFPs containing a KRAB repressor domain (KZFPs; 344/747 Human C2H2 ZFPs) are thought to diversify to bind new EREs and repress deleterious transposition events. However, evidence of the gain and loss of KZFP binding sites on the ERE sequence is sparse due to poor resolution of ERE sequence evolution, despite the recent publication of binding preferences for 242/344 Human KZFPs. The goal of my doctoral work has been to characterize the Human C2H2 ZFPs, with specific interest in their evolutionary history, functional diversity, and coevolution with LINE EREs.

Based on our discovery that the glycosaminoglycan dermatan sulfate (DS) displays peculiar affinity to apoptotic cells and autoantigens (autoAgs) and that DS-autoAg complexes cooperatively stimulate autoreactive B1 cell responses, we compiled a database of 751 candidate autoAgs from six human cell types. At least 657 of these have been found to be affected by SARS-CoV-2 infection based on currently available multi-omic COVID data, and at least 400 are confirmed targets of autoantibodies in a wide array of autoimmune diseases and cancer.

Unlike most of AID/APOBEC, however, APOBEC2’s function remains elusive. Previous research has implicated APOBEC2 in diverse organisms and cellular processes such as muscle biology (in Mus musculus), regeneration (in Danio rerio), and development (in Xenopus laevis). APOBEC2 has also been implicated in cancer. However the enzymatic activity, substrate or physiological target(s) of APOBEC2 are unknown. For this thesis, I have combined Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) techniques with state-of-the-art molecular biology to determine the physiological targets of APOBEC2. Using a cell culture muscle differentiation system, and RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) by polyA capture, I demonstrated that unlike the AID/APOBEC family member APOBEC1, APOBEC2 is not an RNA editor. Using the same system combined with enhanced Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing (eRRBS) analyses I showed that, unlike the AID/APOBEC family member AID, APOBEC2 does not act as a 5-methyl-C deaminase.

GRWD1 acts as a protein 1 (DDB1)-interacting WD40 proteins, which function as – tumor-promoting factor by downregulating p53 (also known as TP53) candidate substrate receptors for Cul4 DDB1 ubiquitin ligases via the RPL11–MDM2–p53 axis. Here, we identified GRWD1- (note that there are Cul4a and Cul4b forms of Cul4 in mammals) – interacting proteins using a proteomics approach and showed that (He et al., 2006; Higa et al., 2006). For example, Cdt2, a Cul4 GRWD1 interacts with various proteins involved in transcription, DDB1-interacting WD40 protein, is a receptor for Cdt1, a – translation, DNA replication and repair, chromatin organization, and replication-licensing factor. However, a substrate(s) of the Cul4 – ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis.

  • Identification of Genes Underlying Phenotypic Plasticity of Wing Size Via Insulin Signaling Pathway by Network-Based Analysis In
    Gao et al. BMC Genomics (2019) 20:396 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-019-5793-z RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Identification of genes underlying phenotypic plasticity of wing size via insulin signaling pathway by network- based analysis in Sogatella furcifera Xinlei Gao1, Yating Fu1, Olugbenga Emmanuel Ajayi1, Dongyang Guo1, Liqin Zhang1 and Qingfa Wu1,2* Abstract Background: Phenotypic plasticity is a common and highly adaptive phenomenon where the same genotype produces different phenotypes in response to environmental cues. Sogatella furcifera, a migratory pest of rice exhibits wing dimorphism, is a model insect for studying phenotypic plasticity of wing size. The Insullin-PI3K-Akt- FOXO signaling pathway plays a crucial role in the manipulation of wing size in the migratory insects. However, the regulatory mechanism via the pathway involved in wing dimorphism are still unexplored. Results: Accompanied by special alternative splicing, genes involved in muscle contraction and energy metabolism were highly expressed in the wing hinges of macropters, demonstrating their adaptation for energy-demanding long-distance flights. Based on FOXO ChIP-Seq analysis, a total of 1259 putative target genes were observed in the wing hinges, including wing morph development, flight muscle and energy metabolism genes. An integrated gene interaction network was built by combining four heterogeneous datasets, and the IIS-PI3K-Akt-FOXO pathway was clustered in a divided functional module. In total, 45 genes in the module directly interacting with the IIS-PI3K-Akt- FOXO pathway showed differential expression levels between the two wing hinges, thus are regarded as potential Insulin pathway mediated wing dimorphism related genes (IWDRGs). Of the 45 IWDRGs, 5 were selected for verification by gene knockdown experiments, and played significant roles in the insect wing size regulation.
