Lyons, PhD2, David M. Kurnit, MD, PhD3, Livija Celle, MS4, Nancy B. Spinner, PhD4, Elaine Zackai, MD4, Mark J. Pettenati, PhD5, Alexander J. Van Riper, MS6, Michael J. Vekemans, MD7, Corey H. Mjaatvedt, PhD8, and Julie R. Korenberg, PhD, MD1 Purpose: Down syndrome (DS) is a major cause of congenital heart disease (CHD) and the most frequent known cause of atrioventricular septal defects (AVSDs). Molecular studies of rare individuals with CHD and partial duplications of chromosome 21 established a candidate region that included D21S55 through the telomere. We now report human molecular and cardiac data that narrow the DS-CHD region, excluding two candidate regions, and propose DSCAM (Down syndrome cell adhesion molecule) as a candidate gene. Methods: A panel of 19 individuals with partial trisomy 21 was evaluated using quantitative Southern blot dosage analysis and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with subsets of 32 BACs spanning the region defined by D21S16 (21q11.2) through the telomere. These BACs span the molecular markers D21S55, ERG, ETS2, MX1/2, collagen XVIII and collagen VI A1/A2. Fourteen individuals are duplicated for the candidate region, of whom eight (57%) have the characteristic spectrum of DS-CHD. Results: Combining the results from these eight individuals suggests the candidate region for DS-CHD is demarcated by D21S3 (defined by ventricular septal defect), through PFKL (defined by tetralogy of Fallot). Conclusions: These data suggest that the presence of three copies of gene(s) from the region is sufficient for the production of subsets of DS-CHD.

It is made available under aCC-BY 4.0 International license. The Human Canonical Core Histone Catalogue David Miguel Susano Pinto*, Andrew Flaus*,† Abstract Core histone proteins H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 are encoded by a large family of genes dis- tributed across the human genome. Canonical core histones contribute the majority of proteins to bulk chromatin packaging, and are encoded in 4 clusters by 65 coding genes comprising 17 for H2A, 18 for H2B, 15 for H3, and 15 for H4, along with at least 17 total pseudogenes. The canonical core histone genes display coding variation that gives rise to 11 H2A, 15 H2B, 4 H3, and 2 H4 unique protein isoforms. Although histone proteins are highly conserved overall, these isoforms represent a surprising and seldom recognised variation with amino acid identity as low as 77 % between canonical histone proteins of the same type. The gene sequence and protein isoform diversity also exceeds com- monly used subtype designations such as H2A.1 and H3.1, and exists in parallel with the well-known specialisation of variant histone proteins. RNA sequencing of histone transcripts shows evidence for diﬀerential expression of histone genes but the functional signiﬁcance of this variation has not yet been investigated. To assist understanding of the implications of histone gene and protein diversity we have catalogued the entire human canonical core histone gene and protein complement.

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.

Chromosome 21: a Small Land of Fascinating Disorders with Unknown Pathophysiology
Int. J. Dev. Biol. 46: 89-96 (2002) Chromosome 21: a small land of fascinating disorders with unknown pathophysiology STYLIANOS E. ANTONARAKIS*, ROBERT LYLE, SAMUEL DEUTSCH and ALEXANDRE REYMOND Division of Medical Genetics, University of Geneva Medical School and University Hospitals, Geneva, Switzerland ABSTRACT In the year 2000 we celebrated the sequencing of the entire long arm of human chromosome 21. This achievement now provides unprecedented opportunities to understand the molecular pathophysiology of trisomy 21, elucidate the mechanisms of all monogenic disorders of chromosome 21, and discover genes and functional sequence variations that predispose to common complex disorders. All of that requires the functional analysis of gene products in model organisms, and the determination of the sequence variation of this chromosome.

Since caffeinated beverages are enjoyed worldwide and the relationship between LUTS and caffeine is still not fully understood, it would be of particular interest to examine the underlying mechanisms that drive caffeine’s influence on LUTS development and progression. The aim of this study was to characterize the effects of caffeine on hTert immortalized normal bladder epithelial cells by investigating whether exposure to caffeine can cause potential changes in the bladder proteome and/or biological pathways. Labeled LC-MS/MS proteomic analysis found 57 proteins as being differentially expressed in caffeine-treated bladder epithelial cells, compared to controls; this included 32 upregulated and 25 downregulated proteins.
