Affymetrix Yeast Genome S98 Array (ygs98)
Description
Abf1 and Rap1 are General Regulatory Factors that contribute to transcriptional activation of a large number of genes, as well as to replication, silencing, and telomere structure in yeast. In spite of their widespread roles in transcription, the scope of their functional targets genome-wide has not been previously determined. We have used microarrays to examine the contribution of these essential GRFs to transcription genome-wide, by using ts mutants that dissociate from their binding sites at 37 C. We combined this data with published ChIP-chip studies and motif analysis to identify probable direct targets for Abf1 and Rap1. We also identified a substantial number of genes likely to bind Rap1 or Abf1, but not affected by loss of GRF binding. Interestingly, the results strongly suggest that Rap1 can contribute to gene activation from farther upstream than can Abf1. Also, consistent with previous work, more genes that bind Abf1 are unaffected by loss of binding than those that bind Rap1. Finally, we showed for several such genes that the Abf1 C-terminal region, which contains the putative activation domain, is not needed to confer this peculiar "memory effect" that allows continued transcription after loss of Abf1 binding.

Description
The human EphA3 gene was discovered in a pre-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia (pre-B-ALL) using the EphA3-specific monoclonal antibody (mAb), IIIA4, which binds and activates both human and mouse EphA3. We use two models of human pre-B-ALL to examine EphA3 function, demonstrating effects on pre-B-cell receptor signaling. In therapeutic targeting studies, we demonstrated antitumor effects of the IIIA4 mAb in EphA3-expressing leukemic xenografts and no antitumor effect in the xenografts with no EphA3 expression providing evidence that EphA3 is a functional therapeutic target in pre-B-ALL. Here we show that the therapeutic effect of the anti-EphA3 antibody was greatly enhanced by adding an -particle-emitting 213Bismuth payload.

Description
To investigate the systemic molecular changes occurring as a result of Dhr96 knockdown or over-expression, a comparison between knockdown or overexpression lines and their genetic controls were performed. 0-3 day old adult males or females were reared on 3 separate batches of diet (this was the standard diet we used for culturing Drosophila melanogaster and was made up of 10L water, 100g agar (USP #7060 Bio-serve), 350g Brewers dried yeast (Sunshine Health), 300g black treacle (Lyles), 150g sucrose (Tate & Lyle), 300g Difco dextrose (Becton Dickinson), 150g cornmeal (#1151, Bioserve), 100g wheatgerm (#1659, Bioserve), 200g soya bean flour (#S9633 Sigma Aldrich), 10g methyl-4-hydroxybenzoate (#H3647 Sigma Aldrich) in 10ml ethanol, 50ml proprionic acid (#P5561 Sigma Aldrich)). Each of these 3 batches was considered to represent independent biological replication. The RNA samples were hybridized to the Affymetrix Drosophila GeneChip 2.

Description
To test whether other genes were being silenced in the Cyp6g1 knockdown strain due to off-target RNAi effects, and whether other gene expression changes were contributing to the altered susceptibility to imidacloprid in these knockdown flies. A comparison between w;Act5C-GAL4/CyO; UAS:RNAi_Cyp6g1Hp2/TM3Sb and the genetic control w;Act-GAL4/CyO;+/TM3Sb was performed. Ten 2-3 day old adult males or females were transferred to sugar-agar plates and then collected at various time points (0, 2, 5, 8 hours). The RNA samples for up to three independent experiments per timepoint for each genotype were then pooled, in equal concentrations, before hybridisation to the Affymetrix Drosophila GeneChip 1.

Description
This study provides a framework describing how magnetic exposure is transduced from the most-plausible molecular-level biosensor (lipid membranes) to cell-level responses that include differentiation toward neural lineages. In addition, SMF provided a stimulus that uncovered new relationships that exist even in the absence of magnetic fields between gangliosides, the time dependent regulation of IL-6 signaling by these glycolipids, and the fate of embryonic cells.

Description
RNA localization is a regulatory mechanism that is conserved from bacteria to mammals. Yet, little is known about the mechanism and the logic that govern the distribution of RNA transcripts within the cell. Here we present a novel organ culture system, which enables the isolation of RNA specifically from NGF dependent re-growing peripheral axons of mouse embryo sensory neurons. In combination with massive parallel sequencing technology, we determine the sub-cellular localization of most transcripts in the transcriptome. We found that the axon is enriched in mRNAs that encode secreted proteins, transcription factors and the translation machinery. In contrast, the axon was largely depleted from mRNAs encoding transmembrane proteins, a particularly interesting finding, since many of these gene products are specifically expressed in the tip of the axon at the protein level. Comparison of the mitochondrial mRNAs encoded in the nucleus with those encoded in the mitochondria, uncovered completely different localization pattern, with the latter much enriched in the axon fraction. This discovery is intriguing since the protein products encoded by the nuclear and mitochondrial genome form large co-complexes. Finally, focusing on alternative splice variants that are specific to axonal fractions, we find short sequence motifs that are enriched in the axonal transcriptome. Together our findings shed light on the extensive role of RNA localization and its characteristics. Overall design: For each RNA sample, Spinal Cords\ DRGs were dissected from 40 E13.5 embryos and cultured for 48H. Total RNA was extracted from whole DRG and Peripheral axons. Poly-A enriched. In duplicates, using GAIIx. Read length - 80nt.
