An RB-EZH2 Complex Mediates Silencing of Repetitive DNA Sequences.
Specimen part
View SamplesUpon G1-S transition, cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) phosphorylate the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein (pRB) to release E2F transcription factors, which activate transcriptional programs, required for S-phase entry. Beyond the G1-S transition, pRB activity remains poorly understood. Our lab has discovered that pRB retains exclusive binding to E2F1 through an alternate E2F1-specific binding site at the pRB c-terminus independent of CDK phosphorylation. We have developed a gene-targeted mouse model that is defective for the E2F1-specific interaction. We are exploring the function of this complex through genome-wide binding and expression profiling. Overall, this work suggests an alternate pRB-E2F1 complex persists independent of CDK phosphorylation to establish regions of constitutive heterochromatin

View SamplesUpon G1-S transition, cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) phosphorylate the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein (pRB) to release E2F transcription factors, which activate transcriptional programs, required for S-phase entry. Beyond the G1-S transition, pRB activity remains poorly understood. Our lab has discovered that hyperphosphorylated pRB (ppRB), found beyond G1, retains exclusive binding to E2F1 through an alternate E2F1-‘specific’ binding site at the pRB c-terminus. We have developed a gene-targeted mouse model that is defective for the E2F1-‘specific’ interaction. We are exploring the function of this complex through genome-wide expression profiling. Overall, this work suggests an alternate pRB-E2F1 complex persists beyond the G1-S transition to establish regions of constitutive heterochromatin. Overall design: 1. Total RNA from passage 4 quiescent MEFs isolated using TRIzol RNA extraction protocol 2. rRNA was depleted from total RNA using the RiboMinus Euk System V2 protocol according to manufacturer’s procotol 3. rRNA-depleted RNA samples were submitted for picoanalyzer analysis to determine concentration, purity, and rRNA content 4. Three wild-type and three mutant RNA samples with <10% rRNA remaining were submitted for library construction 5. Library was used for Illumina HiSeq 2500 paired end sequencing.

View SamplesThe Shumiya cataract rat (SCR) is a model for hereditary cataract. Two-third of these rats develop lens opacity within 10-11-weeks. Onset of cataract is attributed to the synergetic effect of lanosterol synthase (Lss) and farnesyl-diphosphate farnesyltransferase 1 (Fdft1) mutant alleles that lead to cholesterol deficiency in the lenses, which in turn adversely affects lens biology including the growth and differentiation of lens epithelial cells (LECs). Nevertheless, the molecular events and changes in gene expression associated with the onset of lens opacity in SCR is poorly understood.
