▼ Proper gene expression relies on the precise coordination of cellular processes that influence packaging, transcription, and processing of the genetic material. Linkage and regulation of these processes is organized by factors that remodel and modify nucleosomes, regulate transcription, and influence RNA processing and export. One of these factors, Spt6, is a large (~168kDa), essential, highly conserved, and functionally diverse eukaryotic protein. Best known as a histone chaperone capable of altering the structure of nucleosomes, Spt6 has also been shown to function as a transcription elongation factor as well as a critical component for proper RNA processing. Although a broader role for Spt6 is reasonably well-understood, very little is known about the functional and mechanistic details of this multifaceted protein. Beyond studying Spt6 directly, insight into Spt6 function may come from complimentary studies on the bacterial protein Tex. Tex is a transcription elongation factor predicted to be a structurally similar to Spt6. The function of Tex is not well-understood, but may be functioning in a homologous manner to Spt6 in two vastly different transcriptional environments. In order to gain insight into the mechanism of Spt6 and Tex, the work presented in this thesis has focused on structural and biochemical studies of Spt6 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the related Tex protein from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. To this end, several Spt6 crystal structures have been determined resulting in a nearly complete composite model for Spt6. Along with a series of domains predicted to mediate protein and nucleic acid interactions, the structure reveals a novel tandem SH2 domain consisting of the only two SH2 folds known in yeast. Biochemical analysis of Spt6 demonstrates its capacity to interact with an array of functionally relevant protein and nucleic acid substrates which provide clues into mechanisms underlying the various functions of Spt6. Parallel studies on Tex demonstrate a strikingly similar structure and domain architecture to that of the Spt6 core. Structural and biochemical work described in this thesis lays the foundation for further in vitro and in vivo studies aimed at a better understanding of how Spt6 and Tex regulate gene expression. The highly similar core structure shared between Spt6 and Tex may ultimately prove to be a protein scaffold for regulating transcription in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms.

▼ The integumentary system is the largest organ system of the body that comprises of skin and its appendages such as hair follicles, sebaceous and sweat glands. Skin is divided into three distinct structural layers: the epidermis, dermis and hypodermis. The epidermis originates from the ectoderm and is composed of four layers specified as basal, spinous, granular and corneal layer. The function of epidermis is to protect against all sources of environmental insults, prevent water loss and undergo re-epithelialization after wounding. For its normal functioning, the epidermis continually replenishes itself through a process of continuous proliferation and terminal differentiation of keratinocytes from the basal layer. The hair follicle is a complex appendage of skin, which give rise to the keratinized hair shaft. Hair follicle is formed during embryonic development and it goes through cycles of growth (anagen), regression (catagen) and quiescence (telogen). The bulge region of the hair follicle in the outer root sheath area contains slow-cycling stem cells which are responsible for normal hair cycling as well as cutaneous wound repair after injury. CTIP2 (COUP-TF interacting protein 2) is a C2H2 zinc finger transcription factor that is expressed in various organs and tissues. It has been shown to play an important role in the development of thymocyte, tooth and corticospinal motor neuron. Expression of CTIP2 is observed in the developing murine epidermis and dermis during skin organogenesis and predominantly in epidermal keratinocytes in adult mice skin. It is also expressed in the embryonic and mature adult hair follicles, especially in bulge region. CTIP2 regulates epidermal proliferation and terminal differentiation during embryogenesis and adulthood. Here we show that CTIP2 controls hair follicle development, hair cycling and cutaneous wound healing. To study the role of CTIP2 in hair morphogenesis and hair cycling, we have utilized two different genetically modified mouse strains. First, we studied the effect of CTIP2 during hair follicle formation using Ctip2-null mice containing a germline deletion of Ctip2. Ctip2-null mice exhibited reduced hair follicle density and downregulation of EGFR and NOTCH1 expression. To analyze the consequence of loss-of–funtion of CTIP2 on postnatal hair cycling, we selectively ablated Ctip2 in the epidermis and hair follicles using the Cre-LoxP strategy to generate Ctip2[superscript ep-/-] mice. Ctip2[superscript ep-/-] mice showed a defect in postnatal hair cycling marked by early exit from telogen and premature entry into anagen. The premature induction of anagen is a result of stem cell activation, increase in cell proliferation and decrease in apoptosis-driven cell death in the hair follicles. This early activation of follicular stem cells eventually leads to their depletion and therefore ultimate loss of hair follicles and hair coat. Reduced expression of LHX2 and NFATC1, which are two important regulators of hair cycling, was observed in the bulge area of Ctip2[superscript… Advisors/Committee Members: Indra, Arup K.

▼ BCL11B is a transcriptional regulatory protein that plays essential roles during mouse embryonic development. BCL11B is expressed and functions in the immune and nervous systems as well as within ectodermal organs. Multiple studies have characterized the roles of BCL11B in T cells, brain, and skin. However, very little is known about the mechanistic role of BCL11B during tooth development, and data are not available on the function of BCL11B in the craniofacial skeleton. BCL11B is expressed widely within the oral cavity during development, and mice lacking BCL11B exhibit a spectrum of tooth developmental defects. The most striking feature of the Bcl11b[superscript -/-] dental phenotype is a defect in development of enamel-secreting cells, known as ameloblasts, in the mouse incisor. Ameloblasts are localized exclusively on the labial aspect of the mouse incisor in wild-type mice. In contrast, Bcl11b[superscript -/-] mice exhibit defective ameloblasts on the labial and develop ectopic, ameloblast-like cells on the lingual aspect of the tooth. BCL11B regulates asymmetric ameloblast formation by regulating the development of epithelial stem cell niches in the posterior part of the incisor. Specifically, BCL11B induces proliferation and differentiation of epithelial stem cells into ameloblasts in the labial cervical loop, whereas BCL11B suppresses these processes within the lingual epithelium. Such bidirectional actions of BCL11B are mediated by spatio-specific regulation of a large gene network comprised of genes that encode members of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) superfamilies, Sprouty proteins, and sonic hedgehog (SHH). In addition, my data integrate BCL11B into FGF and SHH signaling pathways revealing the molecular mechanisms that suppress development of ectopic ameloblast-like cells in the lingual epithelium. In the second half of this dissertation, I show that BCL11B is expressed in the osteogenic mesenchyme of developing craniofacial skeleton, and loss of BCL11B in these tissues has striking effects on craniofacial development. Bcl11b[superscript -/-] mice exhibit accelerated mineralization of the skull during embryonic development and synostosis of facial and coronal sutures. My results demonstrate that BCL11B normally functions to suppress proliferation and premature differentiation of osteoblasts in the craniofacial complex. I suggest that the principal mechanistic basis of these actions of BCL11B is the repression of Fgfr2c expression within the osteogenic mesenchyme. Taken together, my data demonstrate that BCL11B plays an important role in proliferation and differentiation of ameloblast and osteoblast lineages. In addition, my work implicates BCL11B in regulation of FGF and TGFβ signaling pathways. Therefore, these studies contribute to a better understanding of the molecular and cellular functions of BCL11B in vivo.

▼ Nuclear Factor, Erythroid Derived 2, Like 2 (NFE2L2 or Nrf2) is the primary transcription factor in cellular defense against oxidative and xenobiotic stresses in higher eukaryotes. This basic leucine zipper transcription factor regulates over 200 antioxidant, detoxification, and lipid metabolizing genes by binding to the Antioxidant Response Element (ARE; a cis-acting element) as a transcription enhancer. Our group, and others, have identified that the nuclear steady state levels of this highly inducible transcription factor declines with age which coincides with decreased expression of many ARE regulated genes. To elucidate the mechanism(s) involved in lowered Nrf2 levels we used hepatocytes isolated from young and old rats as a relevant cellular model that maintains the aging phenotype with respect to Nrf2 levels. Our results show that steady state Nrf2 levels decline by ~40% with age (N=4, p<0.05), which led us to investigate the multifaceted regulation of Nrf2 homeostasis. Specifically, analysis of Nrf2 mRNA levels, and the rate of Nrf2 protein turnover and translation were investigated. Surprisingly, Keap1-mediated degradation of Nrf2, its primary negative regulator, did not account for the age-related Nrf2 decline, nor did mRNA levels change with age. Rather, Nrf2 protein synthesis declines 5.3-fold with age (N=3, p<0.05). Furthermore, we identify that rno-miR-146a, a key inflammation regulating miRNA, both inhibits Nrf2 translation and increases significantly with age. Taken together, our data suggest that the age-related loss of Nrf2 stems from the loss of its translation and may be mediated through miR regulation. Our lab previously demonstrated in rats, that the age-related loss of Nrf2 consequentially attenuates synthesis and steady state levels of liver glutathione (GSH) synthesis and manifests as a diminished level of GSH. This antioxidant is the most abundant non-protein thiol in most cells and is pivotal for the detoxification of many xenobiotics. The rate-limiting enzyme in GSH synthesis, γ-glutamyl-cysteine ligase (Gcl), is composed of a catalytic (Gclc), and a modulatory (Gclm) subunit. In mice and humans, it is established that Nrf2, through the ARE, regulates Gclc expression. However, this had not been established in rats. From a bioinformatics analysis of the 5’ upstream sequence of the rat Gclc gene, we identified 3 putative AREs (ARE1, ARE3, and ARE4), and one cis-element containing the core but not the flanking nucleotides of the ARE (ARE2). Luciferase reporter plasmids containing each individual ARE were transfected into H4IIE rat hepatoma cells to test for ARE activity. Only one, designated “ARE4”, produced appreciable luciferase activity and was dependent on Nrf2 expression, suggesting that this ARE is a “true” enhancer element. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and qPCR identified that Nrf2 binds ARE4 but not ARE1-3. Further ChIP analysis identified that known partner transcription factors of Nrf2 (small maf, c-Jun and c-Fos) were also bound to ARE4. Taken together, our data… Advisors/Committee Members: Hagen, Tory M. (advisor), Ho, Emily (committee member).

▼ With the critical role of aberrantly active Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription (Stat) 3 protein in many human cancers, selective small-molecule inhibitors targeting the dimerization event which is required for stat3 activation, would be valuable as therapeutic agents. And the inhibitors will be useful chemical probes to clarify the complex biological functions of Stat3. By computational and structural analyses of the interaction between Stat3 and the lead dimerization disruptor, S3I-201, we have designed a diverse set of analogs. One of the most active analogs, S3I-201.1066 is derived to contain a cyclo-hexyl benzyl moiety on the amide nitrogen, which increases the binding to the Stat3 SH2 domain. Evidence is presented from in vitro biochemical and biophysical studies that S3I-201.1066 directly interacts with Stat3 or the SH2 domain, with an affinity (K[subscript D]) of 2.74 [micrometer], and disrupts the binding of Stat3 to the cognate pTyr-peptide, GpYLPQTV-NH2, with an IC₅₀ of 23 [micrometer]. Moreover, S3I-201.1066 selectively blocks the association of Stat3 with the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and inhibits Stat3 tyrosine phosphorylation and nuclear translocation in EGF-stimulated mouse fibroblasts. In cancer cells that harbor aberrant Stat3 activity, S3I-201.1066 inhibits constitutive Stat3 DNA-binding and transcriptional activities. By contrast, S3I-201.1066 has no effect on Src activation or the EGFR-mediated activation of the Erk1/2MAPK pathway. S3I-201.1066 selectively suppresses the viability, survival, and malignant transformation of the human breast and pancreatic cancer lines and the v-Src-transformed mouse fibroblasts harboring persistently active Stat3. Treatment with S3I-201.1066 on malignant cells harboring aberrantly active Stat3 down regulated the expression of c-Myc, Bcl-xL, Survivin, matrix metalloproteinase 9, and VEGF, which are known Stat3-regulated genes important in diverse tumor processes. The in vivo administration of S3I-201.1066 induced significant anti-tumor response in mouse models of human breast cancer, which correlates with the inhibition of constitutively active Stat3 and the suppression of known Stat3-regulated genes. Further computer-aided lead optimization derives higher-affinity (K[subscript D], 504 nM), orally bioavailable Stat3 SH2 domain-binding ligand, BP-1-102 as a structural analog of S3I-201.1066. The most significant modification is the pentafluorobenzene sulfonamide component of BP-1-102, which permits accessibility of a third sub-pocket of the Stat3 SH2 domain surface. BP-1-102-mediated inhibition of aberrantly-active Stat3 in human pancreatic cancer, Panc-1, breast cancer, MDA-MB-231, and prostate (DU145) cancer cells and in the mouse transformed fibroblasts harboring aberrantly-active Stat3. It also disrupts Stat3-NF[kappa]B cross-talk and suppresses the release of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1, macrophage-migration-inhibitory factor/glycosylation-inhibiting factor,… Advisors/Committee Members: Turkson, James.

▼ Animal neurons dynamically change their morphologies in response to steroid hormone signaling to adapt to changing environments. The molecular mechanisms underlying animal neuronal remodeling, however, remain largely unknown. Metamorphosis is an important developmental stage in insects when crawling and feeding larvae transform into reproductive and flying adults. During this period, many insect larval neurons undergo dramatic morphological and functional alterations. These neuronal changes are regulated by a arthropod-specific steroid hormone, 20-hydroxyecdysone (ecdysone). Research on the metamorphic remodeling of insect neurons, has provided insights into the general neuronal remodeling process. During the early stage of metamorphosis, the larval neurons prune their projections and then grow out adult-specific neurites. A group of Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) neuroendocrine cells, the crustacean cardioactive peptide (CCAP) neurons, experiences metamorphic remodeling, and I used these neurons to dissect the molecular mechanisms controlling this process. The CCAP neurons mainly produce two neuropeptides, CCAP and bursicon, to control insect molting-related behaviors, ecdysis and wing expansion. Functional disruption of the CCAP neuron remodeling leads to defective wing expansion in adults. In a genetic screen, thousands of genes were mis- or overexpressed in the CCAP neurons. The genes that produced strong wing expansion defects were identified. Fourteen of the identified genes specifically inhibited the outgrowth of adult-specific neurites during metamorphic remodeling. One of these, split ends (spen) was selected to identify the molecular pathways affected by its overexpression. I performed a deficiency modifier screen to identify mutations that modify the outgrowth defects induced by spen. A mutation of Mbs, the gene encoding the Myosin binding subunit, moderately suppressed the outgrowth defects. Since Mbs negatively regulates myosin II activity, the results suggested that spen overexpressin suppressed myosin II activity. Another myosinmodulating signaling pathway, Rac1-PAK, was also tested to confirm the observations. The Rac1-PAK signaling pathway positively regulates myosin II function, and this pathway suppressed the neurite outgrowth defects induced by spen overexpression. Furthermore, down-regulation of spen activity strongly rescued the wing expansion and neurite growth defects resulting from disrupted Rac1-PAK signaling. These results strongly support a model in which spen functions antagonistically with myosin II to regulate neuronal outgrowth during metamorphosis.

▼ In the mammalian retina, amacrine interneurons are the most diverse group of retinal neurons and contribute to a wide range of visual functions. Amacrine cells express inhibitory neurotransmitters and can broadly be classified into cells that either express gamma-aminobutyric acid or glycine, with each group being further classified into different subtypes based on dendritic morphology, neurotransmitter type expressed and laminar stratification at the inner plexiform layer. Understanding the molecular basis of genesis of individual amacrine cell subtypes is crucial for elucidating their visual functions. Currently, our understanding of transcriptional regulation affecting the differentiation of retinal precursor cells into retinal neuron subtypes is limited. To address this issue, we identified a LIM-homeodomain transcription factor – LHX9 that is expressed in developing and mature retinal neurons. Specifically, LHX9 is expressed predominantly in a subset of GABAergic amacrine interneurons that express GAD67. We developed a lineage tracing strategy by creating an Lhx9-GFP-CreER (Lhx9GCE/+) mouse line and crossing to a tdTomato reporter line (RosatdTomato/+), to map the fate of Lhx9 expressing progenitor cells. We report that in animals lacking Lhx9, the mature retina displays aberrant synaptic lamination at the IPL. We show that this aberration is caused by an almost complete ablation of nitric oxide expressing amacrine cells concurrent with significantly altered dendritic projection of Substance P expressing amacrine cells at the IPL. Our lineage tracing studies show that Lhx9 expressing retinal progenitors give rise to both GAD65 and GAD67 expressing sub-population of GABAergic amacrine cells and a small subset of AII glycinergic amacrine cells. Taken together, our studies have identified Lhx9 as a unique molecular marker for a subtype of amacrine cells. Our studies also show that Lhx9 is necessary for the development of nitric oxide-expressing amacrine subtype population and indicate that it also plays a significant role in the development of dendritic stratification of amacrine cell subtypes.

▼ The overall goal of my work has been to gain a better understanding of Axenfeld-Rieger Syndrome (ARS), a human autosomal dominantly inherited mal-development of the anterior segment of the eye that is associated with glaucoma. By studying rare genetic causes of this complex disease we are gaining insight into the initial steps that ultimately lead to blindness. To achieve the goal of better understanding ARS, my research project had two parts. In the first part, I performed a retrospective clinical study in which I analyzed the glaucoma-related clinical presentation of ARS patients with FOXC1 and PITX2 defects. This study showed a good genotype-phenotype correlation which may be important for the physician in dealing with ARS patients. Patients with FOXC1 mutations had the mildest prognosis in glaucoma development, while patients with PITX2 defects and patients with FOXC1 duplication had a more severe prognosis in glaucoma development than patients with FOXC1 mutations. I tried to determine the best treatment for glaucoma in these patients. Unfortunately, in this study, current medical therapies did not successfully lower intraocular pressure or prevent progression of glaucoma in ARS patients with FOXC1 or PITX2 alterations. This clinical study also provided useful diagnostic criteria to identify the gene responsible for ARS. The second part of the project was to study the gene regulatory pathways of the PITX2 gene, mutations of which cause ARS. PITX2 is a transcription factor that regulates the expression of genes in the eye. The discovery of direct downstream targets of PITX2 is necessary for understanding the genetic mechanisms underlying complex, highly regulated processes such as development and underlying heritable human disorders. To find direct target genes of PITX2, I have used a recently developed method: the hormone receptor (HR)-inducible expression system for transcription factors coupled microarray analysis. The results obtained using this method have involved PITX2 in control of cellular stress. Recent investigations have suggested significant roles for cellular stress in glaucoma pathology. Understanding the control of these key aspects of cell function will have profound implications for understanding and treating the glaucoma that is the most clinically serious consequence of mutations of PITX2.

▼ Fungi are capable of growth on a wide variety of carbon sources, both living and dead. They can produce an arsenal of enzymes and transporters for harvesting sugars, polysaccharides, amino acids, lipids and micronutrients from their environments [1]. Within the nucleus of a cell, transcription factors (TF) control whether genes will be transcribed, after which the transcripts can be translated into functional protein. TF contact with DNA can be influenced by nucleosomal occupancy, DNA binding affinity, and competition with other DNA binding proteins [2], [3]. Sequence specific DNA binding transcription factors associate with promoter sequences in order to tune core metabolic pathways in response to nutrient availability, for example N. crassa’s major nitrogen regulator NIT-2, [4], or in response to oxidative stress, the alternative oxidase regulator, AOD-2 [5]. Change in the relative abundance of proteins within the cell or "proteome" can have broad effects from redirection of metabolic flux via carbon and nitrogen use, production of enzymes for detoxification, and altered growth and development from the examples above. A survey of transcription factor binding influenced by light is underway in Neurospora crassa as part of the Neurospora Functional Genomics and Systems Biology (NcFGSB) program project funded by the NIH (P01GM). This work began by testing the link of FAR-1, or Fatty Acid Regulator -1 (NCU08000) to light regulation, but has continued toward investigation of how both FAR-1 and a second TF, Fatty Acid Regulator-2, or FAR-2 (NCU03643) influence central metabolism, oxidative stress response, and development. Transcription factor networks consist of describing TFs that bind to multiple genes and individual genes controlled by multiple regulators. Further, the "regulation of regulators" describes how the transcription of transcription factor genes is controlled. Chromatin immunoprecipitation, or 'ChIP' experiments show that a variety of factors are enriched at the same promoter region as can be seen by comparing multiple datasets [6], [7]. Transcriptional regulators may promote or inhibit one another from binding DNA, leading to a total regulation as the sum of TF activity. This complexity cannot be explained by single genetic experiments and study of a limited number of loci. Even in the event of TF association with specific promoter DNA as analyzed by ChIP, proximal binding of a transcriptional activator does not directly mean that transcript levels will increase, as we have seen with the identification of WC-2 binding sites [7]. I used a reverse genetics approach, assaying deletion mutants of selected loci, to determine the cellular effects of FAR-1 and FAR-2 transcriptional activity in different carbon sources. The tools of high throughput sequencing, and bioinformatics data analyses were combined with experiments to characterize phenotypes observed. Here I report (1) a collection of binding sites found in the Neurospora genome for FAR-1 and FAR-2 in sucrose, butyrate, and oleate, (2) changes in… Advisors/Committee Members: Freitag, Michael (advisor), Taylor, Barbara (committee member).

▼ The orphan nuclear receptor 4A1 (NR4A1) and specificity protein (Sp) transcription factors (TFs) are both overexpressed in the majority of solid tumors. Our laboratory has researched the molecular mechanisms of a novel class of 1,1-bis(3'-indolyl)-1-(p-substituted phenyl)methanes (C-DIMs) as NR4A1 antagonists and Sp proteins as non-oncogene addiction genes (NOA) that are targets of reactive oxygen species (ROS) inducing agents. Nr4A1 antagonists (DIM-C-pPhOH) (C-DIM 8) and (DIM-C-pPhCO2Me) (C-DIM 14) inhibited cancer cell proliferation, induced apoptosis, and inhibited migration. The NR4A1 antagonists inhibited constitutive and TGFβ-induced migration in Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) cells. We also demonstrate that p38α is necessary and sufficient for TGFβ-mediated migration and NR4A1 nuclear export in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) which was attenuated with NR4A1 antagonists (C-DIMs), leptomycin B, and the p38 inhibitor SB202190. We also demonstrate that NR4A1 is essential for TGFβ-induced EMT and NR4A1 antagonists promoted cytosolic sequestration of the transcription factor β-catenin and its proteasome-dependent degradation in a time dependent manner. β-catenin, along with TCF-3, TCF-4, and LEF-1 binds to TCF/LEF response elements in the NR4A1 promoter, regulating its expression. RNA interference (RNAi) demonstrates that Sp1, 3, and 4 TFs individually play a role in cancer cell growth, survival and migration/invasion in cancer cell lines. Individual knockdown of Sp1, Sp3, or Sp4, resulted in inhibition of cell growth, migration, and induction of apoptosis, with no compensation. Moreover, tumor growth in athymic nude mice bearing pancreatic cancer xenografts was significantly attenuated in cells depleted of Sp1, Sp3, and Sp4 in combination or Sp1 alone. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) of changes in gene expression in Panc1 pancreatic cancer cells after individual knockdown of Sp TFs demonstrates that Sp1-, Sp3- and Sp4-regulated genes were associated with pro-oncogenic activity. C-DIMs are promising anticancer agents in NR4A1-overexpressing solid tumors and represent a novel class of mechanistic-based drugs that target TGFβ/NR4A1-dependent inducible migration in TNBC. The functional and genomic results coupled with overexpression of Sp transcription factors in tumor vs. non-tumor tissues and decreased Sp1 expression with age indicate that Sp1, Sp3 and Sp4 are non-oncogene addiction (NOA) genes and are attractive drug targets for individual and combined cancer chemotherapies.

▼ The ascomycete Fusarium verticillioides (Sacc.) Nirenberg (teleomorph: Gibberella moniliformis Wineland) causes stalk and ear rots on maize worldwide. In addition to the economic losses due to reduced yield, the fungus produces fumonisins on infected corn. One of the unanswered questions in mycotoxin research is how fungi perceive and respond to various extracellular stimuli and produce mycotoxins. To date, extensive research has been performed on important signaling pathways that regulate mycotoxin biosynthesis, but little is known about the downstream target genes, notably transcription factors (TFs). While the roles of TFs have shown to be critical in eukaryotic transcription regulation, only a few have been characterized in F. verticillioides. TFs with zinc fingers have been reported in all living organisms, and in fungal species, members of the Cys2-Hys2 (C2H2) zinc finger TF family are predicted to be involved in cell differentiation, carbon utilization, and development. Using the available genomic resources, I constructed a library of C2H2 TF deletion mutants, and identified SDA1, FvFLBC and CHT1 genes with a potential role in carbon utilization, development and fumonisin B1 (FB1) biosynthesis. The Δsda1 strain showed complete growth inhibition when using sorbitol as the sole carbon source and produced higher levels of FB1 when grown on corn kernels. In addition, the Δsda1 strain produced less number of conidia compared to the wild-type progenitor. Through gene complementation, I also demonstrated that F. verticillioides SDA1 and Trichoderma reesei ACE1 are functionally conserved. FvFLBC acts as a regulator of asexual development but not FB1 biosynthesis. I also discovered that the FvFlbC N-terminus is critical for conidia production. CHT1 is associated with asexual development, fumonisin biosynthesis and pigmentation. Characterization of key signal transduction pathways, and more importantly the function of SDA1, FvFLBC and CHT1, should facilitate the elucidation of the mechanisms and regulations of growth, development, and secondary metabolism in F. verticillioides. The outcome of this study may help us determine how to minimize F. verticillioides contamination of crops and the resulting mycotoxins, providing safer and higher value corn in the US and worldwide.

▼ The local and distant spread of tumours in the body through invasion and metastasis are the leading causes of cancer-related deaths. These processes often require the remodeling of gene expression, mediated by key transcription factors acting in signalling pathways that are aberrantly activated in tumours. There is now strong evidence that the spread of some epithelial cancers can involve a switch to an invasive mesenchymal phenotype via a process closely related to the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) that occurs during development. In colorectal cancer (CRC), pathological EMT is associated with tumour budding at the invasive front of tumours. Several pathways have been implicated in regulating EMT events in cancers, including TGF, Wnt and Ras signalling, but the key transcriptional mediators of EMT programs in CRC cells are not well understood. Recent work in our laboratory has identified a critical role for the Activator Protein-1 (AP-1) transcription factor complex in this process. This complex consists of a dimeric core, formed mainly by members of the Fos, Jun and ATF protein families. We specifically found that the Fos related antigen-1 (Fra-1), a Fos family protein that is over-expressed in response to oncogenic Ras-ERK MAPK activation, directly binds and regulates a clinically relevant cohort of EMT-associated genes, and that Fra-1 is enriched in tumour buds at the invasive front of CRCs. However, the mechanism(s) regulating Fra-1/AP-1 function, including the control of genes involved in CRC cell migration, invasion and EMT remains elusive. We hypothesized that a better understanding of these issue could be gained through analysis of the Fra-1/AP-1 interactome in CRC cells, given the pervasive role that protein-protein interactions play in transcriptional regulation. A proteomic screen for such interactions in highly invasive CRC cells revealed the existence of heterogenous pools of Fra-1, formed through interaction with different Jun isoforms. The analysis also identified a multitude of novel putative Fra-1 interacting proteins in these cells, which were tentatively placed into two groups. The first included potential Fra-1/AP-1 regulators acting at the signalling level via effects on protein turnover, localisation and post-translational modification. By contrast, the second group consisted of proteins known to associate with chromatin and regulate gene expression. A representative Fra-1/AP-1 interactor from each group was then chosen for further functional characterisation. Phosphorylation is a central mechanism for regulation of AP-1 protein function. Fra-1 was found to associate with a heterotrimeric protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) complex consisting of a catalytic subunit (PP2Acat), the PR65 scaffold, and the PR55 regulatory subunit. The latter demonstrated preferential binding to Fra-1/c-Jun but not c-Fos/c-Jun dimers, and was required for recruitment of…

▼ Class IV homeodomain leucine-zipper transcription factors (HD-Zip TFs) are master regulators of cell-type differentiation in the plant epidermis. These transcription factors contain a putative START (STeroidogenic Acute Regulatory (StAR)-related lipid Transfer) lipid/sterolbinding domain that is hypothesized to link metabolism to gene expression in plant development. This study is focused on two class IV family members that serve as models in many of the experiments: GLABRA2 (GL2) is a key regulator of differentiation in hair cells called trichomes as well as other epidermal cell types in various plant tissues. The second member addressed in this study is PROTODERMAL FACTOR2 (PDF2), which plays a crucial role in epidermal cell specification in shoots. A leading hypothesis is that the START domain, by binding a ligand, controls transcription factor function, analogously to nuclear receptors from mammals. Domain swap experiments indicated that the START domain from both plants and mammals is a conserved ligand-binding motif that is required for transcription factor activity. To further address its function in ligand binding, mutational analysis of the START domain of GL2 was performed. Several of the mutations remove charged residues in the predicted ligand-binding pocket and resulted in loss-of-function phenotypes, suggesting that ligand binding is critical for HD-Zip TF activity. Chromatin immunoprecipitation–based sequencing (ChIP-seq) revealed that the START domain is dispensable for transcription factor binding to DNA. Using a high throughput thermal shift assay to screen a library of pure natural compounds, specific secondary metabolites were identified as putative START domain ligands for PDF2. Experiments in both yeast and N. benthamiana demonstrated that the START domain is required for homodimerization of GL2 through its Zip domain. It was also found that the START domains physically interact with RHAMNOSE SYNTHASE I (RHM1). Further, this work provided evidence for a previously elusive redundancy between GL2 and another class IV HD-Zip TF, and unveils a positive feedback loop in the maintenance of the GL2 activity during trichome differentiation. Taken together, these findings support the premise that START domains are central players in metabolic regulatory networks that can modulate transcription factor activity by binding ligands and mediating protein-protein interactions.

▼ Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are emerging as important regulators required for the successful establishment and maintenance of the mutualistic association between the fungal endophyte Epichloë festucae and its grass host Lolium perenne (perennial ryegrass). The generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by the fungal NADPH oxidase, NoxA, has previously been shown to regulate hyphal growth of E. festucae in planta, a result that has led to the hypothesis that fungal-produced ROS are key second messengers in the symbiosis. However, the highly reactive nature of these molecules dictates that cells possess efficient redox sensing mechanisms to maintain ROS homeostasis and prevent oxidative damage to cellular components such as DNA, lipids and proteins. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae Gpx3-Yap1 and Schizosaccharomyces pombe Tpx1-Pap1, two-component H2O2 sensors, serve as model redox relays for coordinating the cellular response to ROS. While proteins related to the Yap1 and Pap1 basic-leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors have been identified in a number of filamentous fungi, the components involved in the upstream regulation remain unclear. This thesis presents an investigation into the role of the E. festucae Yap1 homologue, YapA, and putative upstream activators GpxC and TpxA, homologues of Gpx3 and Tpx1, respectively, in responding to ROS. YapA is involved in responding to ROS generated at the wound site following inoculation into ryegrass seedlings. However, deletion of yapA did not impair fungal colonisation of the host, indicating functional redundancy in systems used by E. festucae to sense and respond to plantproduced ROS. In culture, deletion of E. festucae yapA renders the mutants sensitive to only a subset of ROS and this sensitivity is influenced by the stage of fungal development. In contrast to the H2O2-sensitive phenotype widely reported for fungi lacking the Yap1-like protein, the E. festucae yapA mutant maintains wild-type mycelial resistance to H2O2 but conidia of the yapA mutant are sensitive to H2O2. Using a degron-tagged GFP-CL1 as a reporter, we found YapA is required for the expression of the spore-specific catalase, catA. Moreover, YapA is activated by H2O2, through disulfide bond formation, independently of both GpxC and TpxA, suggesting a novel mechanism of regulation exists in E. festucae. This work provides a comprehensive analysis of the role and regulation of the AP-1 transcription factor pathway in a filamentous fungal species.

Thesis Ph. D. Michigan State University. Chemical Engineering 2014.

Cellular and tissue homeostasis is a result of complex processes that respond to the cellular microenvironment. To understand these processes and the signaling thatinitiates them, it is important to measure the levels of many cellular components. Continuing technology development, especially in high-throughput and parallel techniques, will provide new assays for such measurements. If designed well, these techniques can also be applied in the clinical setting, with the potential to improve human health through improved disease detection and diagnosis. Currently, the majorityof these techniques measure the results of cellular signaling, e.g., changes in mRNA levels. It would provide complementary information to measure the levels and activities of transcription factors, the upstream mediators of cell signaling. Transcription factors (TFs) are proteins that alter the expression of target genes in response to stimuli. They bind specific sites on chromosomal DNA, resulting in activation or repression of nearby genes. Many TFs respond to a variety of signals, and multiple TF levels can be altered by a single stimulus. Moreover, TF levels are dynamic, in general, changing with time in concert with changes in the cell phenotype and the microenvironment. As there are ~2000 TFs in humans and their levels change dynamically, measuring TF levels and activities in parallel is a challenging task.To address this challenge, techniques have been developed to measure TF levels in parallel. While these assays have provided valuable information on cellular processes, each has limitations. The aim of this dissertation was to develop a parallel, quantitative TF measurement method that leverages established DNA analytical technologies and would complement existing analytical approaches. This work focused on technology development and the application of the assay to poorly-characterized biological processes. The initial focus was on assay development. The assay was based on magnetic bead separation of TF-bound DNA probes. We measured purified TFs, p50 (NF-kB family) and c-Jun (AP-1 family), in parallel with ~10-fold improved sensitivity over existing approaches. TF levels were successfully measured in nuclear extracts from breast cancer cells. The results agreed with the previously published data, showing that the assay achieved successful parallel and quantitative detection of TFs. To further demonstrate the applicability of the approach, temporal measurements of TF levels were performed in different cell types and in response to different stimuli. TNF-a treated HepG2 cells and breast cancer cells were selected as model systems. Levels of TFs, NF-kB, Stat3, CREB, GR and TBP, were dynamically measured in these nuclear extracts. Furthermore, the same set of TF levels were measured in untreated and palmitic acid treated HepG2 cells. The observed changes in these TF levels have furthered our understanding of the molecular mechanisms associated with cellular exposure to…

▼ Nuclear factor erythroid 2 related factor 2 (NrF2), is an essential transcription factor and a master regulator of the antioxidant defense system, which increases antioxidants in response to the production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). Disproportional increases in RONS compared to antioxidant defense capabilities can induce a state of oxidative stress (OS). Aerobic exercise of sufficient intensity and duration is well-known to increase the production of RONS in the blood, skeletal muscle and brain. Chronic aerobic exercise has been shown to mediate OS through increases in antioxidant factors. However, there are only two studies that have reported changes in NrF2 in response to aerobic exercise in a healthy cohort, but were limited to chronic exercise and examined the striatum brain region and whole brain only. The purpose of this study was to 1) determine the extent to which markers of OS (MDA, GSSG, GSSG/TGSH) change with acute aerobic exercise in the blood, skeletal muscle and brain, 2) determine the extent to which antioxidant defense factors (GSH, TGSH, Mn-SOD) change with chronic aerobic exercise in skeletal muscle and brain, and 3) determine the extent to which NrF2 protein concentration changes with acute and chronic aerobic exercise in skeletal muscle and specific brain regions (cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and cerebellum). To accomplish these objectives, three groups of rats (n=6-13/group), sedentary (SD), acute exercise (AE) and chronic exercise (ET) (5-7 weeks), ran at an intensity equal to 75% VO2max or served as controls. Gastrocnemius skeletal muscle and cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and cerebellum brain regions were analyzed using multiple methods to examine markers of OS, antioxidant factors and NrF2 protein concentration. AE significantly increased MDA concentration in the blood (~69%) and the hippocampus brain region (~36%). However, the OS response did not reflect a significant increase in NrF2 protein concentration with AE in the brain or skeletal muscle. In fact, NrF2 was significantly reduced in all brain regions and muscle with AE compared to SD. ET significantly increased GSH (~27%) and TGSH (~26%) in the hippocampus brain regions, which was concomitant with a significant increase in NrF2 protein concentration in the hippocampus with ET. In contrast, GSH, TGSH, and Mn-SOD (~44%) were significantly reduced in the in gastrocnemius skeletal muscle with ET. There were no significant differences in antioxidant factors in the cortex or cerebellum brain regions, which coincided with the lack of significant elevation in NrF2 with training. In summary, these data suggest that ET for 5-7 weeks at 75% VO2max was sufficient to increase NrF2 protein concentration and antioxidant factors in the hippocampus, a brain region that is highly susceptible to neurodegeneration. However, the single bout of acute aerobic exercise appears to be inadequate to sufficiently stress the brain and skeletal muscle tissue to increase markers of OS or NrF2 protein concentration.

Stem cell engineering for regenerative medicine offers new hope for treating many ailments and injuries. Hence, there is an urgent demand by stem cell scientists for an alternative platform that induces stem cell differentiation in a safe and efficient manner. Stem cell differentiation is inherently regulated by transcription factors (TFs), which are multi-domain proteins that interact with DNA to control expression of target genes, and thus, TFs are master regulators of gene expression and cellular behavior. Recently, scientists have developed synthetic transcription factors (STFs), which are small molecules that mimic the function of the individual domains on TF proteins. This work presents the development a novel bio-inspired platform called NanoScript, which is an alternative approach for safe stem cell differentiation. NanoScript is a nanoparticle-based artificial TF protein because it is designed to replicate the function and structure of natural TF proteins. NanoScript was constructed by assembling STFs onto multifunctional nanoparticles. We first demonstrate that NanoScript localizes within the nucleus of cells, initiates transcription of a reporter plasmid by over 15-fold in cancer cells, and transcribes endogenous genes. The tunable and interchangeable components of NanoScript can easily be modified to either activate or deactivate any gene of interest. As a result, NanoScript was then demonstrated for three stem cell-based applications: 1) NanoScript targets myogenic genes to differentiate adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) into muscle cells, 2) NanoScript modified with an epigenetic modulator, CTB, increases transcriptional potency and enhances differentiation of ADMACs into chondrocytes, and 3) NanoScript redesigned with gene repression molecules acts a transcriptional repressor protein because it downregulates gene expression to induce differentiation of neural stem cells into functional neurons. Because of its robust tunability and biocompatibility, the patented NanoScript platform is a promising alternative tool for research scientists for applications involving gene manipulation such as stem cell differentiation, cancer therapy, and cellular reprogramming. Moreover, the ability of NanoScript to induce stem cell differentiation in a non-viral and footprint-free manner is highly desired by stem cell clinicians, and hence, holds potential for use in stem cell-based therapies.

▼ Bacteria utilize a wide variety of genetic regulatory strategies in order to sense and respond to various environmental fluctuations in nutrient availability, temperature, salinity, and oxygen among others. As such, bacterial species have evolved highly coordinated and tightly regulated systems as a means of efficiently responding to potentially deleterious changes in environmental conditions. Traditionally DNA binding transcriptions factors were thought to be the primary means by which the cell executes a selective genetic response. However, the advent of microarray and next generation sequencing platforms, coupled with the wealth of sequenced genomes and powerful bioinformatics have revealed that RNA mediated post transcriptional gene regulation is wide spread in bacterial species and may in fact rival protein based regulatory systems in scope and breadth. RNA mediated post transcriptional gene regulation is broadly divided into two categories-those in which the RNA element is transcribed with the mRNA it regulates (cis-acting regulatory RNAs) or those which are transcribed independently from the gene that they regulate (trans-acting regulatory RNAs). In general cis-acting RNA elements are embedded within a 5' UTR of a gene that they regulate and may or may not require a protein cofactor to execute genetic regulation. Whereas, trans-acting regulatory RNAs, also known as sRNAs, function via base pairing with their target mRNA and this usually requires the protein chaperone Hfq. Hfq mediated gene regulation is poorly understood in Gram-positive organism, thus I undertook studies of this protein in the model Gram-positive organism Bacillus subtilis. I used co-immunoprecipitation and deep-sequencing to define the suite of RNA elements that associate with this regulatory protein. In addition I performed global transcriptomic studies on an Hfq deletion mutant in order to identify genes that are regulated via Hfq. These studies identified sRNAs that may be involved with sporulation. This led me to analyze the transcriptomic profile of Bacillus subtilis spores in an attempt to identify new sRNA regulators.
