View SamplesThe BF-3 pocket of the androgen receptor (AR) has been identified as an allosteric modulator of the transactivation function of the AR. We now demonstrate that a duplicated GARRPR motif at the N-terminus of the cochaperone Bag-1L functions through this BF-3 domain. Amino acid exchanges in these two motifs impair binding of Bag-1L to the AR but increase the androgen-dependent activation of a subset of AR-target genes. We have therefore identified GARRPR as a novel BF-3 regulatory sequence important for fine-tuning the activity of the receptor.

View SamplesBackground: Changes in gene regulation are thought to be crucial for the adaptation of organisms to their environment. Transcriptome analyses can be used to identify candidate genes for ecological adaptation, but can be complicated by variation in gene expression between tissues, sexes, or individuals. Here we use high-throughput RNA sequencing of a single Drosophila melanogaster tissue to detect brain-specific differences in gene expression between the sexes and between two populations, one from the ancestral species range in sub-Saharan Africa and one from the recently colonized species range in Europe. Results: Relatively few genes (<100) displayed sexually dimorphic expression in the brain, but there was an enrichment of sex-biased genes, especially male-biased genes, on the X chromosome. Over 340 genes differed in brain expression between flies from the African and European populations, with the between-population divergence being highly correlated between males and females. The differentially expressed genes include those involved in stress response, olfaction, and detoxification. Expression differences were associated with transposable element insertions at two genes implicated in insecticide resistance (Cyp6g1 and CHKov1). Conclusions: Analysis of the brain transcriptome revealed many genes differing in expression between populations that were not detected in previous studies using whole flies. There was little evidence for sex-specific regulatory adaptation in the brain, as most expression differences between populations were observed in both males and females. The enrichment of genes with sexually dimorphic expression on the X chromosome is consistent with dosage compensation mechanisms affecting sex-biased expression in somatic tissues. Overall design: mRNA profiles of Drosophila melanogaster brains from adult males and females from a European and an African population (2 biological replicates each)

View SamplesThere is much evidence that T cells may be activated via mechanisms which act independently of direct TCR ligation. Despite this, the question of whether such forms of bystander T cell activation occur during immune responses is hotly debated.
Human CD4+ memory T cells are preferential targets for bystander activation and apoptosis.

View SamplesPEST-domain-enriched tyrosine phosphatase (PEP) is a cytoplasmic protein tyrosine phosphatase that regulates immune cell functions, including mast cell functions. Using bone marrow derived mast cells (BMMCs) from PEP+/+ and PEP-/- mice, RNA-seq data showed that dinitrophenol (DNP) - activated PEP-/- BMMCs have misregulated gene expression, with some cytokine/chemokine genes (eg.TNFa, IL13, CSF2) showing reduced gene expression in the dinitrophenol (DNP) - activated PEP-/- BMMCs compared to (DNP)-activated PEP+/+ BMMCs. Also, the ability of the glucocorticoid dexamethasone (Dex) to negatively regulate DNP - induced COX-2 gene expression in PEP-/- BMMCs was inhibited compared to the PEP+/+ BMMCs. Overall design: Biological replicates are sequenced and analyzed. The samples are either wild-type or mutant for PEP and cells were sensitized with Ig-E, activated with Dinitrophenol and glucocorticoid treatment done with Dexamethasone.
