Cs. Fun fact: Outside the lab, Adam is an avid soccer fan and enjoys watching the English Premier League. The challenge is now to understand how these pathways intersect and cooperate, as it is not clear if some pathways regulate the activity of others, or if they act concomitantly. Fun fact: Leslie played basketball through college and is now an avid cyclist. Molecular Interaction Search Tool) for mining, visualization and analysis of network data, for mining protein post-translational modification (PTM) data and comparison of PTM data across species and.

Ultimately, the knowledge gained from these studies will generate testable hypotheses related to disease states such as diabetes, aging, and cancer, i.e., how biological processes observed in one tissue/organ (e.g., decreased cellular metabolism, mitochondrial dysfunction) may influence processes observed in a different tissue/organ. Third, more recently we used single-cell RNAseq (scRNAseq) to describe all the cell types and their transcriptomes in the Drosophila gut. How do circRNAs work at the molecular level? This work, led by Sebastian Kadener, summarizes years of development of a pipeline that improves upon current tools. NanoTags, VHH05- and 127D01-tagsthat are 14 and 10 amino acids in length, and their corresponding nanobodies (NbVHH05 and Nb127D01) are excellent reagents for both, We have developed a series of bioinformatics tools that provide the research community with well-designed, user-friendly resources that impact research at all stages, from project design to data analysis and integration. 2018-10-18 DOI. and Torres H.N.

Boston, MA. Circadian clocks are also exceptionallyplasticas they can quickly and specifically adjust to specific environmental cues. Following our identification of adult Drosophila intestinal stem cells (ISCs), we used this system to characterize genes and pathways important for gut homeostasis and in particular, to analyze crosstalk among signaling pathways.

Translation of circRNAs. Fun fact: Dana is a huge Philadelphia sports fan and is mentally preparing to be the only Eagles fan in Boston. In addition and most importantly, genome-wide libraries of transgenic RNAi lines are available that allow knockdown of any Drosophila gene in an organ or tissue-specific manner. We chose to use peripheral blood monocytes as source material for gene expression profiling, because (a) blood is an easily accessible source of human cells and (b) monocytes constitute a homogenous blood cell population and have been shown to possess a high-amplitude circadian clock ( 24, 25) in contrast to other PBMCs, such as B or T cells. We showed that their translation is mediated by IRES-like sequences, is enhanced in response to starvation and happens in association with membranes and in synapses. A polar mechanism coordinates different regions of alternative splicing within a single gene. Additional unpublished work from my lab demonstrates that a subset of circRNAs is translated. de Educ. These studies have allowed us to better characterize what cell types are present in different gut regions and provide us with new powerful data sets with which we can better characterize the transcriptional networks that define lineage relationships among cell types, cell-cell interactions among cell types (i.e. Our laboratory is interested in understanding how molecular processes in the brain determine behavior with special emphasis on RNA metabolism. In a collaboration with Sebastian Kadener's lab at Brandeis, we generated a new set of PspCas13b and RfxCas13d expression constructs that can be used to target RNA in cells and in vivo. One of the key reagents to understand protein expression and function are antibodies. I am in the Class of 2024 studying neuroscience and biology. I am interested in understanding how proteins and miRNAs regulate and can be regulated by circRNAs. Media. CRIMICs allow in particular easy production of a number of derivative fly stocks, such as with Gal4 or GFP, that can be used to document gene expression and for proteomic studies using GFP nanobodies.

We are particularly interested on the role of circular RNAs (circRNAs) at the molecular and neural levels as well as the mechanisms underlying circadian clocks. Adam is currently studying approaches to therapeutically target cancers that harbor mutations in the Mismatch Repair pathway. Verified email at brandeis.edu - Homepage. She then obtained her the PhD from Cancer Biology PhD program at the University of Michigan in 2022. Understanding how circadian rhythms are generated, maintained, and adapted to changing conditions is key, as several diseases such as cancer and depression are associated with misalignment of the circadian clock with the environment. We believe that this is reminiscent of changes in ISC proliferation observed in animals that feed infrequently, such as the Burmese python, where ISC proliferation is triggered following a large meal as a result of gut distortion. Feel free to send suggestions. How do circRNAs work at the molecular level? We are now using this tool to establish sensors of each signaling pathway involved in gut homeostasis, and will use these reagents to examine pathway crosstalk. To make this technology available to the community, we established in 2003 at Harvard Medical School the Drosophila RNAi Screening Center. Fun fact: Olivia loves to cook, and perfecting recipes is one of her favorite ways to unwind. Transcriptional activators differ in their abilities to control alternative splicing. Explore tweets Explore followers Explore following. We have also generated stable nuclease-dead Cas9 activator (dCas9a) cell lines that can be used, after transfection with gRNAs, to perform overexpression screens - thus complementing loss of function screens. *, Afik S., Menet J., Wolfson V., Weissbein U., Haimovich D., Gafni C., Friedman N., Rosbash M. and Kadener S. .

Regulation of alternative splicing by a transcriptional enhancer through RNA pol II elongation. I am a PhD student in the lab since 2018 after graduating from The College of Wooster. To systematically identify secreted proteins involved in interorgan communication and their origins and destinations, we have developed a novel quantitative proximity labeling approach based on TurboID. Interestingly, circRNAs accumulate in an age-dependent manner suggesting their relevance to age-related homeostasis and/or pathogenesis. Strikingly, these phenotypes are reminiscent of the pathophysiology of cystic fibrosis (CF), as in CF the non-functional CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) increases ENaC activity resulting in chronic dehydration of the intraluminal surface liquid in organs such as kidney, colon, lung and sweat glands.

In response to tissue damage reagents such as paraquat and bleomycin, TrpA1 mediates calcium influx, which in turn activates Ras/MAPK pathway and induces stem cell proliferation. Thermosensitive alternative splicing senses and mediates temperature adaptation in Drosophila. Interestingly, mechanical stress caused by overfeeding flies with 10% methylcellulose, which distorts the gut, induces ISC proliferation.

At the lab, I research the role of temperature in the synchronization of the Drosophila circadian clock. Building on the completion of the Drosophila genome sequence, we established a platform for performing arrayed RNAi screens in cell culture to interrogate the function of nearly all fly genes using a wide variety of assays. With this advance, we hope to enable the mosquito community to easily perform genome-wide loss- or gain-of-function screens in cells, for example to discover entry and infection mechanisms of pathogens and drugs, as well as to aid in the functional annotation of mosquito genomes. 1, Artyomov M., Shishkin A., Kadri S., Zhu X., Gutman M., Garber M.* and Kadener S.* Defining the 5 and 3 landscape of theDrosophilatranscriptome with ExoCAGE and RNaseH-seq. .
