View SamplesWe report here the transcriptome-wide distribution of yeast Rpb2, Sen1, Nrd1 and Nab3 binding sites. These data sets provide highresolution definition of non-poly(A) terminators, identify novel genes regulated by attenuation of nascent transcripts close to the promoter, and demonstrate the widespread occurrence of Nrd1-bound 3'-antisense transcripts on genes that are poorly expressed. In addition, we show that Sen1 does not cross-link to many expected ncRNAs but surprisingly binds to pre-mRNA transcripts suggesting a role in 3' end formation and/or termination. Overall design: Six samples by adaptation of PAR-ClIP procedure
Yeast Nrd1, Nab3, and Sen1 transcriptome-wide binding maps suggest multiple roles in post-transcriptional RNA processing.

View SamplesGlobal gene experssion study of the HAEC transcriptional response to artificial chlyomicron remnant-like particles (A-CRLPs) prepared with triglycerides extracted from four natural dietary oils: fish, DHASCO, corn and palm oils. We hypothesised that A-CRLPs could differentially regulate HAEC gene expression according to thier triglyceride content. These data provide an important starting point for investigations into the effects of A-CRLPs on endothelial cells, particulary genes involved in redox balance and inflammatory processes.
Endothelial HO-1 induction by model TG-rich lipoproteins is regulated through a NOX4-Nrf2 pathway.

View SamplesEpilepsy is a common cause of morbidity affecting approximately one third of patients with primary brain tumors. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the tumor induced epileptogenesis is poorly understood. The alteration in peritumoral microenvironments is believed to play a significant role in inducing epileptogenesis.
Transcriptomic profiling of human peritumoral neocortex tissues revealed genes possibly involved in tumor-induced epilepsy.

View SamplesRibosome profiling is a widespread tool for studying translational dynamics in human cells. Its central assumption is that ribosome footprint density on a transcript quantitatively reflects protein synthesis. Here, we test this assumption using pulsed-SILAC (pSILAC) high-accuracy targeted proteomics. We focus on multiple myeloma cells exposed to bortezomib, a first-line chemotherapy and proteasome inhibitor. In the absence of drug effects, we found that direct measurement of protein synthesis by pSILAC correlated well with indirect measurement of synthesis from ribosome footprint density. This correlation, however, broke down under bortezomib-induced stress. By developing a statistical model integrating longitudinal proteomic and mRNA-seq measurements, we found that proteomics could directly detect global alterations in translational rate caused by bortezomib; these changes are not detectable by ribosomal profiling alone. Further, by incorporating pSILAC data into a gene expression model, we predict cell-stress specific proteome remodeling events. These results demonstrate that pSILAC provides an important complement to ribosome profiling in measuring proteome dynamics. Overall design: Timecourse experiment with six points over 48hr after bortezomib exposure in MM.1S myeloma cells. mRNA-seq and ribosome profiling data at each time point.

View SamplesPurpose: The purpose of this experiment is to expand the repertoire of C. elegans edited transcripts and identify the roles of ADR-1 as indirect regulator of editing and ADR-2 as the only active deaminase in vivo. Methods: Strand-specific RNA sequencing of wild-type and adr mutant worms, followed by a novel RNA variant calling and comparative analysis pipeline. Results: Despite lacking deaminase function, ADR-1 affects editing of over 60 adenosines within the 3’ UTRs of 16 different mRNAs. Furthermore, ADR-1 interacts directly with ADR-2 substrates, even in the absence of ADR-2; and mutations within its dsRNA binding domains abolished both binding and editing regulation. Conclusions: ADR-1 acts as a major regulator of editing by binding ADR-2 substrates in vivo and raises the possibility that other dsRNA binding proteins, including the inactive human ADARs, regulate RNA editing by deaminase-independent mechanisms. Overall design: Strand-specific RNA sequencing of wild-type and adr mutant worms, followed by a novel RNA variant calling and comparative analysis pipeline.
The dsRBP and inactive editor ADR-1 utilizes dsRNA binding to regulate A-to-I RNA editing across the C. elegans transcriptome.
