    Maternal Rnf12/RLIM is required for imprinted X-chromosome inactivation in mice (2010)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-10-22
    Description: Two forms of X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) ensure the selective silencing of female sex chromosomes during mouse embryogenesis. Imprinted XCI begins with the detection of Xist RNA expression on the paternal X chromosome (Xp) at about the four-cell stage of embryonic development. In the embryonic tissues of the inner cell mass, a random form of XCI occurs in blastocysts that inactivates either Xp or the maternal X chromosome (Xm). Both forms of XCI require the non-coding Xist RNA that coats the inactive X chromosome from which it is expressed. Xist has crucial functions in the silencing of X-linked genes, including Rnf12 (refs 3, 4) encoding the ubiquitin ligase RLIM (RING finger LIM-domain-interacting protein). Here we show, by targeting a conditional knockout of Rnf12 to oocytes where RLIM accumulates to high levels, that the maternal transmission of the mutant X chromosome (Deltam) leads to lethality in female embryos as a result of defective imprinted XCI. We provide evidence that in Deltam female embryos the initial formation of Xist clouds and Xp silencing are inhibited. In contrast, embryonic stem cells lacking RLIM are able to form Xist clouds and silence at least some X-linked genes during random XCI. These results assign crucial functions to the maternal deposit of Rnf12/RLIM for the initiation of imprinted XCI.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2967734/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2967734/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Shin, Jongdae -- Bossenz, Michael -- Chung, Young -- Ma, Hong -- Byron, Meg -- Taniguchi-Ishigaki, Naoko -- Zhu, Xiaochun -- Jiao, Baowei -- Hall, Lisa L -- Green, Michael R -- Jones, Stephen N -- Hermans-Borgmeyer, Irm -- Lawrence, Jeanne B -- Bach, Ingolf -- 5 P30 DK32520/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- DK32520/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- GM053234/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA131158/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA131158-04/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM033977/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM053234/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01CA131158/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Oct 21;467(7318):977-81. doi: 10.1038/nature09457.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Program in Gene Function and Expression, University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMMS), Worcester, Massachusetts 01605, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20962847" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    CKAMP44: a brain-specific protein attenuating short-term synaptic plasticity in the dentate gyrus (2010)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-02-27
    Description: CKAMP44, identified here by a proteomic approach, is a brain-specific type I transmembrane protein that associates with AMPA receptors in synaptic spines. CKAMP44 expressed in Xenopus oocytes reduced GluA1- and A2-mediated steady-state currents, but did not affect kainate- or N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-mediated currents. Mouse hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons expressed CKAMP44 at low abundance, and overexpression of CKAMP44 led to stronger and faster AMPA receptor desensitization, slower recovery from desensitization, and a reduction in the paired-pulse ratio of AMPA currents. By contrast, dentate gyrus granule cells exhibited strong CKAMP44 expression, and CKAMP44 knockout increased the paired-pulse ratio of AMPA currents in lateral and medial perforant path-granule cell synapses. CKAMP44 thus modulates short-term plasticity at specific excitatory synapses.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉von Engelhardt, Jakob -- Mack, Volker -- Sprengel, Rolf -- Kavenstock, Netta -- Li, Ka Wan -- Stern-Bach, Yael -- Smit, August B -- Seeburg, Peter H -- Monyer, Hannah -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2010 Mar 19;327(5972):1518-22. doi: 10.1126/science.1184178.

    Hydrogen is an energy source for hydrothermal vent symbioses (2011)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-13
    Description: The discovery of deep-sea hydrothermal vents in 1977 revolutionized our understanding of the energy sources that fuel primary productivity on Earth. Hydrothermal vent ecosystems are dominated by animals that live in symbiosis with chemosynthetic bacteria. So far, only two energy sources have been shown to power chemosynthetic symbioses: reduced sulphur compounds and methane. Using metagenome sequencing, single-gene fluorescence in situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry, shipboard incubations and in situ mass spectrometry, we show here that the symbionts of the hydrothermal vent mussel Bathymodiolus from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge use hydrogen to power primary production. In addition, we show that the symbionts of Bathymodiolus mussels from Pacific vents have hupL, the key gene for hydrogen oxidation. Furthermore, the symbionts of other vent animals such as the tubeworm Riftia pachyptila and the shrimp Rimicaris exoculata also have hupL. We propose that the ability to use hydrogen as an energy source is widespread in hydrothermal vent symbioses, particularly at sites where hydrogen is abundant.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Petersen, Jillian M -- Zielinski, Frank U -- Pape, Thomas -- Seifert, Richard -- Moraru, Cristina -- Amann, Rudolf -- Hourdez, Stephane -- Girguis, Peter R -- Wankel, Scott D -- Barbe, Valerie -- Pelletier, Eric -- Fink, Dennis -- Borowski, Christian -- Bach, Wolfgang -- Dubilier, Nicole -- England -- Nature. 2011 Aug 10;476(7359):176-80. doi: 10.1038/nature10325.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology, Celsiusstrasse 1, 28359 Bremen, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21833083" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    RLIM is dispensable for X-chromosome inactivation in the mouse embryonic epiblast (2014)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-05-30
    Description: In female mice, two forms of X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) ensure the selective silencing of female sex chromosomes during mouse embryogenesis. Beginning at the four-cell stage, imprinted XCI (iXCI) exclusively silences the paternal X chromosome. Later, around implantation, epiblast cells of the inner cell mass that give rise to the embryo reactivate the paternal X chromosome and undergo a random form of XCI (rXCI). Xist, a long non-coding RNA crucial for both forms of XCI, is activated by the ubiquitin ligase RLIM (also known as Rnf12). Although RLIM is required for triggering iXCI in mice, its importance for rXCI has been controversial. Here we show that RLIM levels are downregulated in embryonic cells undergoing rXCI. Using mouse genetics we demonstrate that female cells lacking RLIM from pre-implantation stages onwards show hallmarks of XCI, including Xist clouds and H3K27me3 foci, and have full embryogenic potential. These results provide evidence that RLIM is dispensable for rXCI, indicating that in mice an RLIM-independent mechanism activates Xist in the embryo proper.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4105192/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4105192/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Shin, JongDae -- Wallingford, Mary C -- Gallant, Judith -- Marcho, Chelsea -- Jiao, Baowei -- Byron, Meg -- Bossenz, Michael -- Lawrence, Jeanne B -- Jones, Stephen N -- Mager, Jesse -- Bach, Ingolf -- CA077735/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA131158/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- DK32520/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- GM053234/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA131158/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM053234/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2014 Jul 3;511(7507):86-9. doi: 10.1038/nature13286.

    Experimental evolution of reduced sex ratio adjustment under local mate competition (2011)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-11-05
    Description: Theory predicts that local mate competition (LMC) favors the evolution of female-biased sex ratios. Empirical support of this prediction is indirect and comes from comparative studies or from studies showing that individuals can adjust their offspring sex ratio in response to varying LMC intensities. Replicate lines from a population of the spider mite Tetranychus urticae were selected under three LMC intensities for up to 54 generations. Within each selection regime, the final sex ratio matched theoretical predictions. Furthermore, the ability of individuals to adjust their offspring sex ratio diminished in females evolving under strict LMC, but not in females evolving under relaxed LMC levels. These results provide direct experimental evidence for the evolutionary process by which LMC modifies sex-allocation strategies and suggest that evolution under strict and constant LMC may lead to a loss of phenotypic plasticity.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Macke, Emilie -- Magalhaes, Sara -- Bach, Fabien -- Olivieri, Isabelle -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2011 Nov 25;334(6059):1127-9. doi: 10.1126/science.1212177.

    H-2 antigen class: effect on mouse islet allograft rejection (1983)

    Description: Rejection of mouse pancreatic islet allografts occurred in a high percentage of donor recipient combinations identical for H-21-region antigens and differing at H-2K and H-2K + H-2D without I-region disparities. The results suggest that disparities in major histocompatibility complex antigens of class I (H-2K and H-2D) alone are capable of eliciting islet allograft rejection, and that lack of a stimulus from class II (I-region) alloantigens does not ensure permanent islet allograft survival.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Morrow, C E -- Sutherland, D E -- Steffes, M W -- Najarian, J S -- Bach, F H -- AI 18326/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI/GM 17687/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AM 13083/AM/NIADDK NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Mar 18;219(4590):1337-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6402817" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
