Autophagy generally participates in innate immunity by elimination of intracellular pathogens. However, many of them developed successful strategies to counteract their autolysosomal digestion and lastly to exploit this catabolic cellular process.
Autophagic digestion of Leishmania major by host macrophages is associated with differential expression of BNIP3, CTSE, and the miRNAs miR-101c, miR-129, and miR-210.

View SamplesDuring S-phase of the cell cycle production of the core histone proteins is precisely balanced with DNA replication. Metazoan mRNAs encoding replication dependent (RD) histones lack polyA tail normally formed by 3' end cleavage and coupled polyadenylation of the pre-mRNA. Instead, they undergoes to endonucleolytic cleavage on the 3' side of an RNA hairpin (stem loop) producing mRNA with a 3´-stem loop (SL), which is exported from the nucleus for use in translation. The same endonuclease that is involved in normal protein-coding pre-mRNA cleavage, i.e. cleavage and poyladenylation specificity factor 73 (CPSF73), is proposed to catalyse RD pre-histone mRNA cleavage. Additional factors specific to RD pre-histone mRNA processing, including stem loop binding protein (SLBP) and the U7 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (U7snRNP) that binds to a histone downstream element (HDE) are thought to be involved in CPSF73 targeting to RD pre-histone mRNA. We report that a different histone specific endonuclease (HSE), which like CPSF73 is a metallo ß lactamase (MBL) fold protein, is specific for RD pre-histone mRNA cleavage10,11. Crystallographic and biochemical studies reveal HSE has a di-zinc ion containing active site related to that of CPSF73, but which has distinct overall fold. Notably HSE depletion from cells leads to the production of unprocessed RD pre-histone mRNA due to inefficient 3' end processing. The consequent depletion of core histone proteins correlates with a cell cycle defect due to a delay in entering/progressing through S-phase. HSE thus may represent a new type of S-phase specific cancer target. Overall design: Examination of chromatin mRNA profiles in HeLa cells after depletion of HSE or CPSF73 by siRNA treatment.

View SamplesDynamic mRNA gene expression from the wildtype YSBN6 during a nutritional downshift from glutamine to proline. Glutamine and proline were initially together in the media, with cells consuming exlusively glutamine (proline utilization inhibited due to nitrogen catabolite repression). The concentration of glutamine was frequently evaluated at-line, and the moment at which glutamine was not detected anymore is referred to as the time of the shift.

View SamplesPrevious reports suggest that outcome of cHL patients may be related to the tumor microenvironment, which in turn may be influenced by EBV infection. Gene profiling was used for further characterize the cHL microenvironment. A training set of 73 cHL tissue samples was profiled using Affymetrix DNA microarrays. Supervised analysis provided a gene signature separating EBV+ from EBV- cHL tissues, including genes characteristic of Th1 and antiviral response. Samples from patients with favourable outcome significantly overexpressed genes involved in the function of B-cells and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), like BCL11A. A validation set of 146 cHL samples was analyzed using immunohistochemistry (IHC).

View SamplesWe undertook an inter-laboratory effort to generate high-quality quantitative data for a very large number of cellular components in yeast using transcriptome and metabolome analysis. We ensured the high-quality of the experimental data by evaluating a wide range of sampling and measurement techniques. The data were generated for two different yeast strains, each growing under two different growth conditions and based on integrated analysis of the high-throughput data we hypothesize that differences in growth rates and yields on glucose between the two strains are due to differences in protein metabolism.
