Description
Hemangioblasts are known as the common precursors for primitive hematopoietic and endothelial lineages. Their existence has been supported mainly by the observation that both cell types develop in close proximity and by in vitro differentiation and genetic studies. However, more compelling evidence will arise from tracking their cell fates using a lineage-specific marker. We report the identification of a hemangioblast-specific enhancer (Hb) located in the cis-regulatory region of chick Cerberus gene (cCer) that is able to direct the expression of enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) to the precursors of yolk sac blood and endothelial cells in electroporated chick embryos. Moreover, we present the Hb-eGFP reporter as a powerful live imaging tool for visualizing hemangioblast cell fate and blood island morphogenesis. We hereby introduce the Hb enhancer as a valuable resource for genetically targeting the hemangioblast population as well as for studying the dynamics of vascular and blood cell development.

Description
During meiosis in yeast, global splicing efficiency increases. The mechanism for this is relief of competition for the splicing machinery by repression of intron-containing ribosomal protein genes (RPGs). Repression of RPGs with rapamycin also increases splicing efficiency in vegetative cells. Reducing levels of an RPG-dedicated transcription factor globally improves splicing and suppresses the temperature-sensitive growth defect of a spliceosome mutation. These results indicate that the spliceosome is limiting and pre-mRNAs compete with each other. Under these conditions, splicing efficiency of a given pre-mRNA therefore depends on both its concentration and affinity for the limiting splicing factor(s) as well as those of the competing pre-mRNAs. We propose that trans-competition control of splicing helps repress meiotic gene expression in vegetative cells, and promotes efficient meiosis. Competition between RNAs for a limiting factor may be a general condition important for function of a variety of post-transcriptional control mechanisms. Overall design: Splicing and gene expression profiles of 1) wild type yeast cells treated with rapamycin (2 biological replicates) relative to untreated cells and 2) prp4-1 pGAL-IFH1 (down-regulated expression of IFH1 transcription factor(specific for ribosomal protein genes)) relative to prp4-1 yeast.

Description
The adaptor protein MERIT40 is a core subunit of deubiquitinating (DUB) complexes that specifically cleave Lysine63-polyubiquitin chains. We found that MERIT40 is an important negative regulator of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) homeostasis, quiescence and self-renewal. This study aims to investigate the molecular mechanism by which MERIT40 regulates HSC expansion and cell cycle. We performed expression profiling of bone marrow CD150+CD48-LSK LT-HSCs from WT and Merit40-/- mice. Results identify select MERIT40-mediated pathways with potential involvement in HSC cell cycle regulation.

Description
SR proteins are well-characterized RNA binding proteins that promote exon inclusion by binding to exonic splicing enhancers (ESEs). However, it has been unclear whether regulatory rules deduced on model genes apply generally to activities of SR proteins in the cell. Here, we report global analyses of two prototypical SR proteins SRSF1 (SF2/ASF) and SRSF2 (SC35) using splicing-sensitive arrays and CLIP-seq on mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs). Unexpectedly, we find that these SR proteins promote both inclusion and skipping of exons in vivo, but their binding patterns do not explain such opposite responses. Further analyses reveal that loss of one SR protein is accompanied by coordinated loss or compensatory gain in the interaction of other SR proteins at the affected exons. Therefore, specific effects on regulated splicing by one SR protein actually depend on a complex set of relationships with multiple other SR proteins in mammalian genomes. Overall design: SRSF1 and SRSF2 CLIP-seq

Description
In this study, we report that HCMV infection results in widespread alternative splicing (AS), shorter 3'-untranslated regions (3'UTRs) and polyA tail lengthening in host genes and CPEB1 depletion reverses infection-related post-transcriptional changes. Overall design: We performed RNA-seq for Mock (Non-targeting siRNA), human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) with non-targeting siRNA, and CPEB1 siRNA treated human foreskin fibroblasts (HFFs). We also performed RNA-seq for lentivirus mediated GFP overexpression (OE) and CPEB1 overexpression human foreskin fibroblasts. Lastly, we performed TAIL-seq for Mock (Non-targeting siRNA), human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) with non-targeting siRNA, and CPEB1 siRNA treated HFFs.

Description
TDP-43, FUS, and TAF15 are implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia. We integrate CLIP-seq and RNA Bind-N-Seq technologies to discover that TAF15 binds to ~4,900 RNAs enriched for GGUA motifs. In the mouse brain, TAF15 and FUS, but not TDP-43, exhibit strikingly similar RNA binding profiles, yet they alter the expression of distinct mRNA populations upon their individual depletions. TAF15 has a minimal role in alternative splicing and instead affects RNA turnover, consistent with an enrichment of TAF15 binding sites in 3’ untranslated regions. In human stem cell-derived motor neurons, loss of both TAF15 and FUS affected mRNAs distinct from those altered by loss of either protein alone, revealing redundant roles for TAF15 and FUS in maintaining mRNA levels. Furthermore, concomitant rather than individual depletion of TAF15 and FUS more closely resembles RNA profiles of motor neurons derived from FUS R521G ALS patients or from late-stage, sporadic ALS patients. Our study reveals convergent and divergent mechanisms by which FUS, TAF15 and TDP-43 affects RNA metabolism in neurological disease. Overall design: RNA-seq, CLIP-seq and arrays in mouse and human against TAF15 knockdowns This Series represents RNA-seq sample(s).

Description
HnRNPA2B1 encodes an RNA binding protein associated with neurodegenerative disorders. However, its function in the nervous system is unclear. Transcriptome-wide cross-linking and immunoprecipitation in mouse spinal cord discover UAGG motifs enriched within ~2,500 hnRNP A2/B1 binding sites and an unexpected role for hnRNP A2/B1 in alternative polyadenylation. Loss of hnRNP A2/B1 results in alternative splicing, including skipping of an exon in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)-associated D-amino acid oxidase (DAO) that reduces D-serine metabolism. Inclusion of the DAO exon is also reduced in transgenic ALS mice models. ALS-associated hnRNP A2/B1 D290V mutant patient fibroblasts and motor neurons differentiated from induced pluripotent stem cells demonstrate gain-of-mutant-dependent splicing differences. Mutant motor neurons also exhibit increased hnRNP A2/B1 localization to cytoplasmic granules during stress, which are abrogated by a small molecule CA43. Our findings and cellular resource identify RNA networks affected in loss of normal and mutated hnRNP A2/B1 with broad relevance to neurodegeneration.
