Article Abstract
Bcl-2-associated athanogene 3 (BAG3) plays an important function in cellular protein quality control (PQC) maintaining proteome stability. Mutations in the gene result in cardiomyopathies. Due to its roles in cardiomyopathies and the complexity of BAG3-protein interactions, it is important to understand these protein interactions given the importance of the multifunctional cochaperone BAG3 in cardiomyocytes, using an in vitro cardiomyocyte model. The experimental assay was conducted using high pressure liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in the human AC16 cardiomyocyte cell line with BioID technology. Proteins with BAG3-interaction were identified in all the 28 hallmark gene sets enriched in idiopathic cardiomyopathies and/or ischemic disease. Among the 24 hallmark gene sets enriched in both idiopathic cardiomyopathies and ischemic disease, 15 gene sets had at least 3 proteins with BAG3-interaction. This study highlights BAG3 protein interactions, unveiling the key gene sets affected in cardiomyopathies, which help to explain the molecular mechanisms of the cardioprotective effects of BAG3. In addition, this study also highlighted the complexity of proteins with BAG3 interactions, implying unwanted effects of BAG3.

Transcriptomics and eQTLs reveal inflammatory heterogeneity in the duodenal lining in coeliac disease.

In coeliac disease (CeD), the epithelial lining (EL) of the small intestine is severely damaged by a complex auto-inflammatory response, leading intraepithelial lymphocytes to attack epithelial cells. To understand the intestinal changes and genetic regulation in CeD, we investigated the heterogeneity in the transcriptomic profile of the duodenal EL using RNA-seq and eQTL analysis on predicted cell types. The study included duodenal biopsies from 82 patients, grouped into controls, gluten-free diet treated CeD and untreated CeD.

Multiplex assays of variant effect (MAVEs) provide promising new sources of functional evidence, potentially empowering improved classification of germline genomic variants, particularly rare missense variants, which are commonly assigned as variants of uncertain significance (VUSs). However, paradoxically, quantification of clinically applicable evidence strengths for MAVEs requires construction of "truthsets" comprising missense variants already robustly classified as pathogenic and benign. In this study, we demonstrate how benign truthset size is the primary driver of applicable functional evidence toward pathogenicity (PS3).

Genome imbalance, resulting from varying the dosage of individual chromosomes (aneuploidy), has a more detrimental effect than changes in complete sets of chromosomes (haploidy/polyploidy). This imbalance is likely due to disruptions in stoichiometry and interactions among macromolecular assemblies. Previous research has shown that aneuploidy causes global modulation of protein-coding genes (PCGs), microRNAs, and transposable elements (TEs), affecting both the varied chromosome (cis-located) and unvaried genome regions (trans-located) across various taxa.

In the zebrafish larval toxicity model, phenotypic changes induced by chemical exposure can potentially be explained and predicted by the analysis of gene expression changes at sub-phenotypic concentrations. The increase in knowledge of gene pathway-specific effects arising from the zebrafish transcriptomic model has the potential to enhance the role of the larval zebrafish as a component of Integrated Approaches to Testing and Assessment (IATA). In this paper, we compared the transcriptomic responses of triphenyl phosphate between two standard exposure paradigms, the Zebrafish Embryo Toxicity (ZET) and General and Behavioural Toxicity (GBT) assays.

Microbes can be programmed to record participation in gene transfer by coding biological-recording devices into mobile DNA. Upon DNA uptake, these devices transcribe a catalytic RNA (cat-RNA) that binds to conserved sequences within ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and perform a trans-splicing reaction that adds a barcode to the rRNAs. Existing cat-RNA designs were generated to be broad-host range, providing no control over the organisms that were barcoded.
