中文简介:
我们细胞中的每一个RNA都被几十种甚至数百种RNA结合蛋白包裹着。为了了解这些蛋白质在细胞中的作用,我们获得了它们的RNA结合位点的详细图谱。为此,我们开发了核苷酸分辨率紫外交联和免疫沉淀(iCLIP)和一种称为杂交iCLIP(hiCLIP)的相关方法,用于识别蛋白质RNA和RNA-RNA接触。我将描述这些方法是如何打开一扇新的窗口,了解使细胞能够调节其基因表达的各种机制的。 编码RNA结合蛋白的基因突变可导致运动神经元病,一种与年龄相关的神经退行性疾病。我们希望了解这种疾病的病因是如何与人脑的衰老过程联系在一起的。为此,我们对年龄从16岁到106岁的480名个体的10个人脑区域的基因表达进行了表征。我们发现,每种细胞类型和每一个大脑区域的命运都会受到老化的影响,但方式不同。我将讨论蛋白质RNA复合物在调节细胞命运变化中的作用,以及这对运动神经元疾病的重要性。
课程简介: Each RNA in our cells is coated by dozens, if not hundreds of RNA-binding proteins. To understand how these proteins act in our cells, we obtain detailed maps of their RNA binding sites. For this purpose, we developed the nucleotide-resolution UV crosslinking and immunoprecipitation (iCLIP) and a related method called hybrid iCLIP (hiCLIP), which identify protein-RNA and RNA-RNA contacts. I will describe how these methods opened a new window into the diverse mechanisms that enable cells to regulate their gene expression. Mutations in genes encoding RNA-binding proteins can cause motor neuron disease, an age-related neurodegenerative disease. We wish to understand how the cause of this disease is linked to the process of aging in human brain. For this purpose, we characterized gene expression across 10 human brain regions from 480 individuals ranging in age from 16 to 106. We found that the fate of each cell type and each brain region is affected by aging, but in different ways. I will discuss the role that protein-RNA complexes play in regulating such changes in cellular fates, and how this could be important for motor neuron disease.
