Most of the genes of this family encode tumor specific antigens that are not expressed in normal adult tissues except testis. Although the protein encoded by this gene shares strong homology with members of the MAGE family, it is expressed in almost all normal adult tissues. This gene has been demonstrated to be involved in the p75 neurotrophin receptor mediated programmed cell death pathway. Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Protein Interaction Network of Alternatively Spliced Isoforms from Brain Links Genetic Risk Factors for Autism
ARTICLE Received 24 Aug 2013 | Accepted 14 Mar 2014 | Published 11 Apr 2014 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms4650 OPEN Protein interaction network of alternatively spliced isoforms from brain links genetic risk factors for autism Roser Corominas1,*, Xinping Yang2,3,*, Guan Ning Lin1,*, Shuli Kang1,*, Yun Shen2,3, Lila Ghamsari2,3,w, Martin Broly2,3, Maria Rodriguez2,3, Stanley Tam2,3, Shelly A.

Iakoucheva1 Increased risk for autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is attributed to hundreds of genetic loci. The convergence of ASD variants have been investigated using various approaches, including protein interactions extracted from the published literature. However, these datasets are frequently incomplete, carry biases and are limited to interactions of a single splicing isoform, which may not be expressed in the disease-relevant tissue. Here we introduce a new interactome mapping approach by experimentally identifying interactions between brain-expressed alternatively spliced variants of ASD risk factors. The Autism Spliceform Interaction Network reveals that almost half of the detected interactions and about 30% of the newly identiﬁed interacting partners represent contribution from splicing variants, emphasizing the importance of isoform networks. Isoform interactions greatly contribute to establishing direct physical connections between proteins from the de novo autism CNVs. Our ﬁndings demonstrate the critical role of spliceform networks for translating genetic knowledge into a better understanding of human diseases.

Liu, Ph.D. University of Connecticut, 2019 ABSTRACT X-linked imprinted genes have been hypothesized to contribute parent-of-origin influences on social cognition. A cluster of imprinted genes Xlr3b, Xlr4b, and Xlr4c, implicated in cognitive defects, are maternally expressed and paternally silent in the murine brain. These genes defy classic mechanisms of autosomal imprinting, suggesting a novel method of imprinted gene regulation. Using Xlr3b and Xlr4c as bait, this study uses 4C-Seq on neonatal whole brain of a 39,XO mouse model, to provide the first in-depth analysis of chromatin dynamics surrounding an imprinted locus on the X-chromosome. Significant differences in long-range contacts exist be- tween XM and XP monosomic samples. In addition, XM interaction profiles contact a greater number of genes linked to cognitive impairment, abnormality of the nervous system, and abnormality of higher mental function. This is not a pattern that is unique to the imprinted Xlr3/4 locus. Additional Alicia J. Liu - University of Connecticut - 2019 4C-Seq experiments show that other genes on the X-chromosome, implicated in intellectual disability and/or ASD, also produce more maternal contacts to other X-linked genes linked to cognitive impairment.

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.

Multi-Targeted Mechanisms Underlying the Endothelial Protective Effects of the Diabetic-Safe Sweetener Erythritol

Boesten1*., Alvin Berger2.¤, Peter de Cock3, Hua Dong4, Bruce D. Hammock4, Gertjan J. M. den Hartog1, Aalt Bast1 1 Department of Toxicology, Maastricht University, Maastricht, The Netherlands, 2 Global Food Research, Cargill, Wayzata, Minnesota, United States of America, 3 Cargill RandD Center Europe, Vilvoorde, Belgium, 4 Department of Entomology and UCD Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of California Davis, Davis, California, United States of America Abstract Diabetes is characterized by hyperglycemia and development of vascular pathology. Endothelial cell dysfunction is a starting point for pathogenesis of vascular complications in diabetes. We previously showed the polyol erythritol to be a hydroxyl radical scavenger preventing endothelial cell dysfunction onset in diabetic rats. To unravel mechanisms, other than scavenging of radicals, by which erythritol mediates this protective effect, we evaluated effects of erythritol in endothelial cells exposed to normal (7 mM) and high glucose (30 mM) or diabetic stressors (e.g. SIN-1) using targeted and transcriptomic approaches. This study demonstrates that erythritol (i.e. under non-diabetic conditions) has minimal effects on endothelial cells. However, under hyperglycemic conditions erythritol protected endothelial cells against cell death induced by diabetic stressors (i.e. high glucose and peroxynitrite). Also a number of harmful effects caused by high glucose, e.g. increased nitric oxide release, are reversed. Additionally, total transcriptome analysis indicated that biological processes which are differentially regulated due to high glucose are corrected by erythritol. We conclude that erythritol protects endothelial cells during high glucose conditions via effects on multiple targets.

Mouse Maged1 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9)
https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Maged1 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Maged1 knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Maged1 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_019791 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000025151 ) is located on Mouse chromosome X. 13 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 2 and the TAA stop codon in exon 12 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000026142). Exon 2~12 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: Homozygous null mice display defects in apoptotic signaling affecting hair cycling and neuronal physiology. Mice homozygous for a different knock-out allele exhibit hypoactivity, decreased exploration, social withdrawal, anhedonia, behavioral despair andaltered serotonin levels. Exon 2 starts from about 0.04% of the coding region. Exon 2~12 covers 100.0% of the coding region. The size of effective KO region: ~5423 bp. The KO region does not have any other known gene.

C9orf72-Associated SMCR8 Protein Binds in the Ubiquitin Pathway and with Proteins Linked with Neurological Disease John L
Goodier et al. Acta Neuropathologica Communications (2020) 8:110 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40478-020-00982-x RESEARCH Open Access C9orf72-associated SMCR8 protein binds in the ubiquitin pathway and with proteins linked with neurological disease John L. Goodier1*, Alisha O. Soares1, Gavin C. Pereira1, Lauren R. DeVine2, Laura Sanchez3, Robert N. Cole2 and Jose Luis García-Pérez3,4 Abstract A pathogenic GGGCCC hexanucleotide expansion in the first intron/promoter region of the C9orf72 gene is the most common mutation associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The C9orf72 gene product forms a complex with SMCR8 (Smith-Magenis Syndrome Chromosome Region, Candidate 8) and WDR41 (WD Repeat domain 41) proteins. Recent studies have indicated roles for the complex in autophagy regulation, vesicle trafficking, and immune response in transgenic mice, however a direct connection with ALS etiology remains unclear. With the aim of increasing understanding of the multi-functional C9orf72-SMCR8-WDR41 complex, we determined by mass spectrometry analysis the proteins that directly associate with SMCR8. SMCR8 protein binds many components of the ubiquitin-proteasome system, and we demonstrate its poly-ubiquitination without obvious degradation. Evidence is also presented for localization of endogenous SMCR8 protein to cytoplasmic stress granules. However, in several cell lines we failed to reproduce previous observations that C9orf72 protein enters these granules. SMCR8 protein associates with many products of genes associated with various Mendelian neurological disorders in addition to ALS, implicating SMCR8-containing complexes in a range of neuropathologies. We reinforce previous observations that SMCR8 and C9orf72 protein levels are positively linked, and now show in vivo that SMCR8 protein levels are greatly reduced in brain tissues of C9orf72 gene expansion carrier individuals.
