Structural and biochemical analyses of the nuclear IκBζ protein in complex with the NF-κB p50 homodimer

As part of the efforts to understand nuclear IκB function in NF-κB-dependent gene expression, we report an X-ray crystal structure of the IκBζ ankyrin repeat domain in complex with the dimerization domain of the NF-κB p50 homodimer. IκBζ possesses an N-terminal α helix that conveys domain folding stability. Affinity and specificity of the complex depend on a small portion of p50 at the nuclear localization signal. The model suggests that only one p50 subunit supports binding with IκBζ, and biochemical experiments confirm that IκBζ associates with DNA-bound NF-κB p50:RelA heterodimers. Comparisons of IκBζ:p50 and p50:κB DNA complex crystallographic models indicate that structural rearrangement is necessary for ternary complex formation of IκBζ and p50 with DNA.

SARS-CoV-2 Diverges from Other Betacoronaviruses in Only Partially Activating the IRE1α/XBP1 Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Pathway in Human Lung-Derived Cells

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has killed over 6 million individuals worldwide and continues to spread in countries where vaccines are not yet widely available or its citizens are hesitant to become vaccinated. Therefore, it is critical to unravel the molecular mechanisms that allow SARS-CoV-2 and other coronaviruses to infect and overtake the host machinery of human cells. Coronavirus replication triggers endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR), a key host cell pathway widely believed to be essential for viral replication. We examined the master UPR sensor IRE1α kinase/RNase and its downstream transcription factor effector XBP1s, which is processed through an IRE1α-mediated mRNA splicing event, in human lung-derived cells infected with betacoronaviruses. We found that human respiratory coronavirus OC43 (HCoV-OC43), Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), and murine coronavirus (MHV) all induce ER stress and strongly trigger the kinase and RNase activities of IRE1α as well as XBP1 splicing. In contrast, SARS-CoV-2 only partially activates IRE1α through autophosphorylation, but its RNase activity fails to splice XBP1. Moreover, while IRE1α was dispensable for replication in human cells for all coronaviruses tested, it was required for maximal expression of genes associated with several key cellular functions, including the interferon signaling pathway, during SARS-CoV-2 infection. Our data suggest that SARS-CoV-2 actively inhibits the RNase of autophosphorylated IRE1α, perhaps as a strategy to eliminate detection by the host immune system.

SyPro Poplar: Improving Poplar Biomass Production under Abiotic Stress Conditions: an Integrated Omics, Bioinformatics, Synthetic Biology and Genetic Engineering Approach (Final Report)

SyPro Poplar: Improving Poplar Biomass Production under Abiotic Stress Conditions: an Integrated Omics, Bioinformatics, Synthetic Biology and Genetic Engineering Approach In the SyPro Poplar project, we aimed to integrate omics, bioinformatics, synthetic biology, and genetic engineering approaches to develop transgenic poplar trees with sustained photosynthetic activity and increased biomass production under individual and the simultaneous occurrence of water deficit, increased soil salinity, and elevated temperatures. Specifically, we intended to (i) study the functions of selected stress-responsive genes at tissue and cell type-specific levels, (ii) discover novel motifs and construct stress-responsive synthetic promoters, and (iii) use these promoters to drive the expression of genes shown to confer abiotic stress tolerance in a variety of crops and develop abiotic stress-tolerant poplars in a coordinated fashion.

Knowledge graph-aided Bayesian active learning for top- K genetic interaction discovery

In silico methods for predicting the effects of multi-gene perturbations hold great promise for advancing functional genomics, computational drug discovery, and disease modeling. However, the development of these predictive algorithms for mammalian systems has been hampered by limited datasets and high experimental costs. In this study, we present a Bayesian active learning framework designed to discover pairwise host gene knockdowns that effectively inhibit viral proliferation in an in vitro HIV-1 infection model. Our method leverages a biological knowledge graph as side information and employs a computationally efficient batch diversification approach. We evaluated this framework using a dataset of viral load measurements obtained from multi-day dual-gene depletion experiments, encompassing all possible pairwise knockdowns of over 350 host genes associated with HIV infection. We demonstrate that our framework rapidly identifies the most effective gene knockdown pairs for reducing viral load. Furthermore, we show that incorporating side information enhances performance during the early stages of active learning (low data regime), while our batch diversification strategy significantly boosts performance in later stages (high data regime). This framework is general and can be adapted to explore gene interactions in other contexts, such as synthetic lethality prediction and mapping epistatic effects across quantitative trait loci.

Century-long timelines of herbarium genomes predict plant stomatal response to climate change

Abstract Dissecting plant responses to the environment is key to understanding whether and how plants adapt to anthropogenic climate change. Stomata, plants’ pores for gas exchange, are expected to decrease in density following increased CO 2 concentrations, a trend already observed in multiple plant species. However, it is unclear whether such responses are based on genetic changes and evolutionary adaptation. Here we make use of extensive knowledge of 43 genes in the stomatal development pathway and newly generated genome information of 191 Arabidopsis thaliana historical herbarium specimens collected over 193 years to directly link genetic variation with climate change. While we find that the essential transcription factors SPCH, MUTE and FAMA, central to stomatal development, are under strong evolutionary constraints, several regulators of stomatal development show signs of local adaptation in contemporary samples from different geographic regions. We then develop a functional score based on known effects of gene knock-out on stomatal development that recovers a classic pattern of stomatal density decrease over the past centuries, suggesting a genetic component contributing to this change. This approach combining historical genomics with functional experimental knowledge could allow further investigations of how different, even in historical samples unmeasurable, cellular plant phenotypes may have already responded to climate change through adaptive evolution.

Data for The Stem Cell-Type Transcriptome of Bioenergy Sorghum Reveals the Spatial Regulation of Secondary Cell Wall Networks

Bioenergy sorghum is a low-input, drought-resilient, deep-rooting annual crop that has high biomass yield potential enabling the sustainable production of biofuels, biopower, and bioproducts. Bioenergy sorghum’s 4-5 m stems account for ~80% of the harvested biomass. Stems accumulate high levels of sucrose that could be used to synthesize bioethanol and useful biopolymers if information about stem cell-type gene expression and regulation was available to enable engineering. To obtain this information, Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) was used to isolate and collect transcriptome profiles from five major cell types that are present in stems of the sweet sorghum Wray. Transcriptome analysis identified genes with cell-type specific and cell-preferred expression patterns that reflect the distinct metabolic, transport, and regulatory functions of each cell type. Analysis of cell-type specific gene regulatory networks (GRNs) revealed that unique TF families contribute to distinct regulatory landscapes, where regulation is organized through various modes and identifiable network motifs. Cell-specific transcriptome data was combined with a stem developmental transcriptome dataset to identify the GRN that differentially activates the secondary cell wall (SCW) formation in stem xylem sclerenchyma and epidermal cells. The cell-type transcriptomic dataset provides a valuable source of information about the function of sorghum stem cell types and GRNs that will enable the engineering of bioenergy sorghum stems.

A transcriptomic atlas of acute stress response to low pH in multiple Issatchenkia orientalis strains

Because of its natural stress tolerance to low pH, Issatchenkia orientalis (a.k.a. Pichia kudriavzevii) is a promising non-model yeast for bio-based production of organic acids. Yet, this organism is relatively unstudied, and specific mechanisms of its tolerance to low pH are poorly understood, limiting commercial use. In this study, we selected 12 I. orientalis strains with varying acid stress tolerance (six tolerant and six susceptible) and profiled their transcriptomes in different pH conditions to study potential mechanisms of pH tolerance in this species. We identified hundreds of genes whose expression response is shared by tolerant strains but not by susceptible strains, or vice versa, as well as genes whose responses are reversed between tolerant and susceptible strains. We mapped regulatory mechanisms of transcriptomic responses via motif analysis as well as differential network reconstruction, identifying several transcription factors, including Stb5, Mac1, and Rtg1/Rtg3, some of which are known for their roles in acid response in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Functional genomics analysis of short-listed genes and transcription factors suggested significant roles for energy metabolism and translation-related processes, as well as the cell wall integrity pathway and RTG-dependent retrograde signaling pathway. Finally, we conducted additional experiments for two organic acids, 3-hydroxypropionate and citramalate, to eliminate acid-specific effects and found potential roles for glycolysis and trehalose biosynthesis specifically for response to low pH. In summary, our approach of comparative transcriptomics and phenotypic contrasting, along with a multi-pronged bioinformatics analysis, suggests specific mechanisms of tolerance to low pH in I. orientalis that merit further validation through experimental perturbation and engineering.

Multi-omics analysis reveals the dynamic interplay between Vero host chromatin structure and function during vaccinia virus infection

The genome folds into complex configurations and structures thought to profoundly impact its function. The intricacies of this dynamic structure-function relationship are not well understood particularly in the context of viral infection. To unravel this interplay, here we provide a comprehensive investigation of simultaneous host chromatin structural (via Hi-C and ATAC-seq) and functional changes (via RNA-seq) in response to vaccinia virus infection. Over time, infection significantly impacts global and local chromatin structure by increasing long-range intra-chromosomal interactions and B compartmentalization and by decreasing chromatin accessibility and inter-chromosomal interactions. Local accessibility changes are independent of broad-scale chromatin compartment exchange (~12% of the genome), underscoring potential independent mechanisms for global and local chromatin reorganization. While infection structurally condenses the host genome, there is nearly equal bidirectional differential gene expression. Despite global weakening of intra-TAD interactions, functional changes including downregulated immunity genes are associated with alterations in local accessibility and loop domain restructuring. Therefore, chromatin accessibility and local structure profiling provide impactful predictions for host responses and may improve development of efficacious anti-viral counter measures including the optimization of vaccine design.

Engineered Endosymbionts that Modulate Primary Macrophage Function and Attenuate Tumor Growth by Shifting the Tumor Microenvironment

Modulating gene expression in macrophages can be used to improve tissue regeneration and redirect tumor microenvironments (TMEs) toward positive therapeutic outcomes. We have developed Bacillus subtilis as an engineered endosymbiont (EES) capable of residing inside the eukaryotic host cell cytoplasm and controlling the fate of macrophages. Secretion of mammalian transcription factors (TFs) from B. subtilis that expresses listeriolysin O (LLO; allowing the EES to escape destruction by the macrophage) modulated expression of surface markers, cytokines, and chemokines, indicating functional changes in a macrophage/monocyte cell line. The engineered B. subtilis LLO TF strains were evaluated in murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) by flow cytometry, chemokine/cytokine profiling, metabolic assays, and RNA-Seq delivery of TFs by the EES shifted BMDM gene expression, production of cytokine and chemokines, and metabolic patterns, indicating that the TF strains could guide primary macrophage function. Thereafter, the ability of the TF strains to alter the TME was characterized in vivo in an orthotopic murine model of triple-negative breast cancer to assess therapeutic effects. The TF strains altered the TME by shifting immune cell composition and attenuating tumor growth. Additionally, multiple doses of the TF strains were well-tolerated by the mice. The use of B. subtilis LLO TF strains as EES showed promise as a unique cancer immunotherapy by directing the immune function intracellularly. The uses of EES could be expanded to modulate other mammalian cells over a range of biomedical applications.

Genomic and phenotypic characterization of multidrug-resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Reading isolates involved in a turkey-associated foodborne outbreak

Salmonella is a global bacterial foodborne pathogen associated with a variety of contaminated food products. Poultry products are a common source of Salmonella -associated foodborne illness, and an estimated 7% of human illnesses in the United States are attributed to turkey products. From November 2017 to March 2019, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported a turkey-associated outbreak of multidrug-resistant (MDR; resistant to ≥3 antimicrobial classes) Salmonella enterica serovar Reading ( S . Reading) linked to 358 human infections in 42 US states and Canada. Since S . Reading was seldom linked to human illness prior to this outbreak, the current study compared genomic sequences of S . Reading isolates prior to the outbreak (pre-outbreak) to isolates identified during the outbreak period, focusing on genes that were different between the two groups but common within a group. Following whole-genome sequence analysis of five pre-outbreak and five outbreak-associated turkey/turkey product isolates of S . Reading, 37 genes located within two distinct chromosomal regions were identified only in the pre-outbreak isolates: (1) an ~5 kb region containing four protein-coding genes including uidA which encodes beta-glucuronidase, pgdA encoding peptidoglycan deacetylase, and two hypothetical proteins and (2) an ~28 kb region comprised of 32 phage-like genes and the xerC gene, which encodes tyrosine recombinase (frequently associated with phage genes). The five outbreak isolates also had a deletional event within the cirA gene, introducing a translational frame shift and premature stop codon. The cirA gene encodes a protein with dual receptor functions: a siderophore receptor for transport of dihydroxybenzoylserine as well as a colicin Ia/b receptor. Significant differences for the identified genetic variations were also detected in 75 S . Reading human isolates. Of the 41 S . Reading isolates collected before or in 2017, 81 and 90% of the isolates contained the uidA and pgdA genes, respectively, but only 24% of the isolates collected after 2017 harbored the uidA and pgdA genes. The truncation event within the cirA gene was also significantly higher in isolates collected after 2017 (74%) compared to before or in 2017 (5%). Phenotypic analysis of the S . Reading isolates for colicin and cefiderocol sensitivities (CirA) and β-methyl-D-glucuronic acid utilization (UidA and accessory proteins) supported the genomic data. Overall, a similar genome reduction pattern was generally observed in both the turkey and human isolates of S . Reading during the outbreak period, and the genetic differences were present in genes that could potentially promote pathogen dissemination due to variation in Salmonella colonization, fitness, and/or virulence.

Cell‐type‐specific transcriptomics uncovers spatial regulatory networks in bioenergy sorghum stems

SUMMARY Bioenergy sorghum is a low‐input, drought‐resilient, deep‐rooting annual crop that has high biomass yield potential enabling the sustainable production of biofuels, biopower, and bioproducts. Bioenergy sorghum's 4–5 m stems account for ~80% of the harvested biomass.

N6-methyladenine demethylase ALKBH1 inhibits the differentiation of skeletal muscle

Highlights: • The DNA N6-mA modification increased during skeletal muscle development, accompanied by a strong decrease of ALKBH1. • ALKBH1 enhanced proliferation and inhibited differentiation of C2C12 cells. • ALKBH1 impaired multiple genes and signaling pathways to promote proliferation and inhibit differentiation of C2C12 cells. DNA N{sup 6}-methyladenine (N6-mA) was recently recognized as a new epigenetic modification in mammalian genome, and ALKBH1 was discovered as its demethylase. Knock-out mice studies revealed that ALKBH1 was indispensable for normal embryonic development. However, the function of ALKBH1 in myogenesis is largely unknown. In this study, we found that N6-mA showed a steady increase, going along with a strong decrease of ALKBH1 during skeletal muscle development. Our results also showed that ALKBH1 enhanced proliferation and inhibited differentiation of C2C12 cells. Genome-wide transcriptome analysis and reporter assays further revealed that ALKBH1 accomplished the differentiation inhibiting function by regulating a core set of genes and multiple signaling pathways, including increasing chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 14 (CXCL14) and activating ERK signaling. Taken together, our results demonstrated that ALKBH1 is critical for the myogenic differentiation of C2C12 cells, and suggested that N6-mA might be a new epigenetic mechanism for the regulation of myogenesis.

MAL33 drives natural variation in maltose metabolism in Saccharomyces eubayanus

Maltose is one of the most abundant sugars in brewer’s wort, and its efficient utilization is critical for successful fermentation. However, maltose consumption varies naturally among Saccharomyces eubayanus strains isolated from different host trees, such as Quercus and Nothofagus. To identify the genetic determinants underlying these phenotypic differences, we performed bulk segregant analysis (BSA) and quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping using an F 2 offspring derived from QC18 (Quercus-associated) and CL467.1 (Nothofagus-associated) strains. QTL mapping identified two significant genomic regions on subtelomeric loci of chromosomes V-R and XVI-L, each containing complete MAL loci composed of MAL32 (encoding maltase), MAL31 (transporter), and MAL33 (transcriptional activator) genes. Comparative polymorphism analyses identified mutations in MAL32 and MAL33 of QC18, including frameshift mutations resulting in premature stop codons. Functional validation demonstrated that the heterologous expression of MAL33 ChrV from CL467.1 fully restored maltose utilization in QC18, indicating the functional presence of MAL33 cis-regulatory sequences and MAL32 and MAL31 genes in QC18. While structural protein predictions identified truncation and impaired functionality in the maltose-responsive activation domain of Mal33p from QC18, overexpression of QC18’s own MAL33 ChrV allele also improved maltose metabolism, suggesting dosage-dependent transcriptional limitations rather than complete functional loss. These results indicate that allelic variations in the maltose-responsive activation domain of Mal33p result in differences in maltose consumption between strains. Here, we hypothesized that reduced maltose metabolism in QC18 is an adaptive response to the distinct sugar composition in Quercus robur bark, contrasting with the starch-rich environment of Nothofagus pumilio. These findings highlight subtelomeric MAL gene diversity as a reservoir of genetic variation, representing a key evolutionary mechanism that influences maltose adaptation among natural Saccharomyces isolates.

Environmental Tuning of Homologs of the Orange Carotenoid Protein-Encoding Gene in the Cyanobacterium Fremyella diplosiphon

The orange carotenoid protein (OCP) family of proteins are light-activated proteins that function in dissipating excess energy absorbed by accessory light-harvesting complexes, i.e., phycobilisomes (PBSs), in cyanobacteria. Some cyanobacteria contain multiple homologs of the OCP-encoding gene ( ocp ). Fremyella diplosiphon , a cyanobacterium studied for light-dependent regulation of PBSs during complementary chromatic acclimation (CCA), contains several OCP homologs – two full-length OCPs, three Helical Carotenoid Proteins (HCPs) with homology to the N-terminus of OCP, and one C-terminal domain-like carotenoid protein (CCP) with homology to the C-terminus of OCP. We examined whether these homologs are distinctly regulated in response to different environmental factors, which could indicate distinct functions. We observed distinct patterns of expression for some OCP, HCP, and CCP encoding genes, and have evidence that light-dependent aspects of ocp homolog expression are regulated by photoreceptor RcaE which controls CCA. RcaE-dependent transcriptional regulator RcaC is also involved in the photoregulation of some hcp genes. Apart from light, additional environmental factors associated with cellular redox regulation impact the mRNA levels of ocp homologs, including salt, cold, and disruption of electron transport. Analyses of conserved sequences in the promoters of ocp homologs were conducted to gain additional insight into regulation of these genes. Several conserved regulatory elements were found across multiple ocp homolog promoters that potentially control differential transcriptional regulation in response to a range of environmental cues. The impact of distinct environmental cues on differential accumulation of ocp homolog transcripts indicates potential functional diversification of this gene family in cyanobacteria. These genes likely enable dynamic cellular protection in response to diverse environmental stress conditions in F . diplosiphon .

Targeting colorectal cancer with small-molecule inhibitors of ALDH1B1

Aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs) are promising cancer drug targets, as certain isoforms are required for the survival of stem-like tumor cells. We have discovered selective inhibitors of ALDH1B1, a mitochondrial enzyme that promotes colorectal and pancreatic cancer. We describe bicyclic imidazoliums and guanidines that target the ALDH1B1 active site with comparable molecular interactions and potencies. Both pharmacophores abrogate ALDH1B1 function in cells; however, the guanidines circumvent an off-target mitochondrial toxicity exhibited by the imidazoliums. Our lead isoform-selective guanidinyl antagonists of ALDHs exhibit proteome-wide target specificity, and they selectively block the growth of colon cancer spheroids and organoids. Finally, we have used genetic and chemical perturbations to elucidate the ALDH1B1-dependent transcriptome, which includes genes that regulate mitochondrial metabolism and ribosomal function. Our findings support an essential role for ALDH1B1 in colorectal cancer, provide molecular probes for studying ALDH1B1 functions and yield leads for developing ALDH1B1-targeting therapies.

Understanding SYCL Portability for Pseudorandom Number Generation: a Case Study with Gene-Expression Connectivity Mapping

Towards the goal of improving functional and performance portability of SYCL, we study a bioinformatics application that has been accelerated with CUDA and fast pseudorandom number generation on a GPU. We describe the experience of migrating pseudorandom number generation from CUDA to SYCL, evaluate the performance of pseudorandom number generators using the CUDA random number generation library, suggest the support of the XORWOW pseudorandom number generator in the oneAPI math kernel library (oneMKL) interface for performance portability, and identify the performance gap using the MKL interface in SYCL that supports pseudorandom number generation with third-party libraries. We hope that the results are valuable for the development of the SYCL ecosystem.
