We report the total RNA-seq results after CDK9, CDK12 and CDK13 depletion in human HCT116 cells for three days. RNA-seq was performed in cells using two non-targeting replicates and two different shRNAs for each CDK knockdown. For each CDK knockdown, most of the differentially expressed genes were down-regulated with a very small subset of genes upregulated. Different CDK proteins control distinct subsets of genes in vivo, with CDK12 and CDK13 sharing more overlap in function compared to CDK9. Besides, CDK12 and CDK13 loss preferentially affects DNA damage response and snRNA gene expression, respectively. Overall design: Examine the changes of mRNA expression levels after CDK9, CDK12 and CDK13 depletion.

View SamplesEco1 is an acetyltransferase subunit of the cohesin complex and acts during DNA replication to establish cohesion between sister chromatids. However, cohesin has additional functions in gene expression, DNA damage repair, and higher-order organization of chromosomes. The eco1 mutant W216G disrupts acetyltansferase activity, and causes genome-wide transcriptional defects which can be suppressed by deletion of FOB1, a gene also involved in DNA replication. This experiment investigates gene expression differences between the eco1-W216G mutant, and mutants in FOB1, and RAD61 a gene involved in inhibition of cohesion establishment but mutation of which is able to suppress temperature sensitivity of the eco1-W216G mutant.

View SamplesThe Sin3 histone deacetylase (HDAC) complex is a 1.2 MDa chromatin modifying complex that can repress transcription by binding to gene promoters and deacetylating histones. The Sin3/HDAC complex can affect cell cycle progression through multiple mechanisms and is among the targets of anticancer drugs, called HDAC inhibitors. We describe the identification of a new subunit of the Sin3 complex named family with sequence similarity 60 member A (FAM60A). We show that FAM60A/Sin3 complexes normally suppress the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cell migration. This occurs through transcriptional repression of genes that encode components of the TGF-beta signaling pathway. This work reveals that FAM60A and the Sin3 complex are upstream repressors of TGF-beta signaling, EMT and cell migration and extends the known biological roles of the Sin3 complex. This experiment investigates the role of FAM60A in gene expression by comparing A549 lung cancer cells treated with or without siRNA against FAM60A.

View SamplesThe development of affinity purification technologies together with mass spectrometric analyses of the purified protein mixtures (AP-MS) has been used both to identify new protein-protein interactions and to define the subunit composition of protein complexes. Transcription factor protein interactions, however, have not been systematically analyzed using these approaches. Here, we have investigated whether ectopic expression of an affinity tagged transcription factor as bait in AP-MS experiments perturbs gene expression in cells resulting in false positive identification of bait associated proteins when typical experimental controls are used. Using quantitative proteomics and RNA-Seq, we determined that the increase in the abundance of a set of proteins caused by overexpression of the transcription factor RelA is not sufficient for these proteins to then copurify non-specifically and be misidentified as bait associated proteins. Therefore typical controls should be sufficient and a number of different baits can be compared with a common set of controls. This is of practical interest when identifying bait interactors from a large number of different baits. As expected, we found several known RelA interactors enriched in our RelA purifications (NFêB1, NFêB2, Rel, RelB, IêBá, IêBâ and IêBå). We also found several proteins not previously described in association with RelA, including the small mitochondrial chaperone Tim13. Using a variety of biochemical approaches, we further investigated the nature of the association between Tim13 and NFêB family transcription factors. The work here therefore provides a conceptual and experimental framework for analyzing transcription faction protein interactions. Overall design: Gene expression profiles were assayed in triplicate from HEK293 cells expressing either Halo-RelA, Halo-NFkB1, or Halo tag alone.

Total RNA was purified from an aliquot of the whole cell extract (Input samples). Halo-tagged proteins were purified from the remainder of the whole cell extract, and RNA subsequently purified from the Halo purified samples (Pulldown samples).

View SamplesHistone H3 lysine27-to-methionine (H3K27M) gain-of-function mutations occur in highly aggressive pediatric gliomas. Here, we establish a Drosophila animal model for the pathogenic histone H3K27M mutation and show that its overexpression resembles Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) loss-of-function phenotypes, causing de-repression of PRC2 target genes and developmental perturbations. Similarly, a H3K9M mutant depletes H3K9 methylation levels and suppresses position-effect variegation in various Drosophila tissues. The histone H3K9 demethylase KDM3B/JHDM2 associates with H3K9M nucleosomes and its overexpression in Drosophila results in loss of H3K9 methylation levels and heterochromatic silencing defects. Here we establish histone lysine-to-methionine mutants as robust in vivo tools for inhibiting methylation pathways that also function as biochemical reagents for capturing site-specific histone-modifying enzymes, thus providing molecular insight into chromatin-signaling pathways. Overall design: RNA-seq of wing imaginal discs expressing either H3.3WT-FLAG-HA or H3.3K27M-FLAG-HA.

View SamplesThe mammalian Retinoblastoma (RB) family including pRB, p107, and p130 represses E2F target genes through mechanisms that are not fully understood. In D. melanogaster, RB-dependent repression is mediated in part by the multisubunit protein complex Drosophila RBF, E2F, and Myb (dREAM) that contains homologs of the C. elegans synthetic multivulva class B (synMuvB) gene products. Using an integrated approach combining proteomics, genomics, and bioinformatic analyses, we identified a p130 complex termed DP, RB-like, E2F, and MuvB (DREAM) that contains mammalian homologs of synMuvB proteins LIN-9, LIN-37, LIN-52, LIN-54, and LIN-53/RBBP4. DREAM bound to more than 800 human promoters in G0 and was required for repression of E2F target genes. In S phase, MuvB proteins dissociated from p130 and formed a distinct submodule that bound MYB. This work reveals an evolutionarily conserved multisubunit protein complex that contains p130 and E2F4, but not pRB, and mediates the repression of cell cycle-dependent genes in quiescence.

View SamplesThe Saccharomyces cerevisiae R2TP protein complex consists of Rvb1, Rvb2, Pih1 and Tah1. The R2TP complex has been implicated in various cellular processes such as assembly of snoRNP complex, RNA polymerase II complex, apoptosis and PIKK signaling. The involvement of R2TP in assembling various complexes seems to be in part due to Pih1 and Tah1, which serve as adapter/recruiter proteins. Here, we have performed high resolution RNA-seq. analyses to identify differential expression levels between wild type and PIH1 and TAH1 deletion strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that can help in unraveling other functions of Pih1 and Tah1. Both wild type and deletion strains contained TAP (tandem affinity purification) tag at the C-terminal end of either RVB1 or RVB2. Overall design: 3 biological replicates were performed for each strains
