Rotation Projects: Rotation projects are available to study chromatin structure and function. Project 1. Measure histone dynamics in yeast. Histone dynamics play major roles in chromatin metabolism and in the inheritance of chromatin states. To measure histone replacement rates in yeast, we have created yeast strains carrying inducible epitope-tagged histones H3 and H2A. Using microarrays, we will measure histone replacement rates in a variety of mutant yeast to ascertain the role of various chromatin remodeling factors in histone exchange reactions. Project 2. Characterize mechanisms for epigenetic inheritance in yeast. We have identified a variety of genes whose expression state in yeast is epigenetically heritable. We will screen the yeast genome for genes that affect the inheritance of these expression patterns. Project 3. Measure histone dynamics in embryonic stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent cells that can give rise to every type of cell in the adult animal. The role of chromatin structure in maintaining this pluripotent state is poorly understood, but it appears that stem cell chromatin is exceptionally labile relative to that in differentiated cells. We will create stem cell lines with inducible tagged histones to measure histone replacement rates across the mouse genome.

Rotation Projects: Rotation Projects Proper control of cell division and accurate chromosome segregation are fundamental to cell function and normal development. Chromosome segregation errors lead to birth defects, and abnormal cell division control is associated with essentially all cancers. A major aim of research in the laboratory is to understand cell cycle control and chromosome segregation mechanisms. We use a combination of classical and molecular genetics, high-resolution in vivo imaging, and biochemical techniques to define pathways that control the cell cycle and chromosome segregation in response to environmental insult (DNA damaging agents) and developmental queues. Rotation projects focus on the role of cell cycle checkpoint and tumor suppressor pathways during the earliest stages of embryogenesis, and cell cycle control of actin and microtubule reorganization during mitosis. Through these projects, students gain exposure of the art in vivo imaging and genetic and molecular manipulations of gene function to define pathways controlling cell division and chromosome segregation. Embryonic Patterning Essentially all cells are asymmetric, with structurally distinct surfaces and polarized internal organization. This asymmetry is essential to the specialized functions cells serve within complex multi-cellular organisms . A second area of interest focuses on the mechanisms that establish cellular asymmetry. In Drosophila, the embryonic axes are specified during oogenesis through the asymmetric localization of key morphogenetic molecules within the developing oocyte. We use axis specification in the fly as a model for the processes that establish cellular asymmetry. An intact microtubule network is essential to axis specification in the fly oocyte and to polarization of somatic. We hope to define the molecular functions for microtubules in establishing cellular asymmetry. We are currently using in vivo imaging techniques to directly characterize the microtubule dependent mRNA tran…

Rotation Projects: Determine links between SREBPs, SAMe levels and epigenetic regulation Methylation of histones or DNA affects gene expression at local as well as global levels. The major cellular methyl donor, s-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) is produced by the folate or 1-carbon (1C) cycle. 1CC function may be affected by dietary levels of folate, methionine, choline or betaine, genetic polymorphisms, or alcohol intake, linking potential for epigenetic modification in cancer progression to food intake and metabolism. Physiological limitation of 1CC function has multiple deleterious physiological effects from birth defects to the development of hepatosteatosis and has also been linked to hepatic and colon cancer. While many studies have shown that the availability of methyl donors may dramatically affect human disease, the mechanisms governing SAMe production and epigenetic modification are much less clear. We hypothesize that modulation of SBP-1 function affecting sams-1 expression will also alter methyl group levels and subsequently, histone modification, leading to changes in gene expression relevant to overall nutritional homeostasis. We will determine if modulation of SAMe levels through SBP-1 effects histone methylation at nutritionally important promoters and examine how diet quality and dietary supplementation affect SBP-1 activity by evaluating histone methylation, in addition to employing biological assays for epigenetic changes in gene expression. We will also use unbiased assays such as ChIP-Seq to identify genes whose expression levels are linked to epigenetic changes after sbp-1 RNAi, selecting those with roles in metabolism for further study. These studies will provide a basis for understanding how lipid homeostasis and other dietary influences affect SAMe production and how those are linked to increased lipid accumulation in C. elegans. Future studies will extend these models to mammalian systems to investigate how these changes predispose hepatosteatosis, a component of …
Rotation Projects: Determine mechanisms for differential regulation of SREBP-1 and SREBP-2 by PC-based feedback In recent studies, we have found that inactive precursors for SREBP-1 are cleaved, accumulate in the nucleus and activate lipogenic transcription programs when membrane changes linked to low PC levels alter localization of SREBP-activating proteases (see Research Interests). We also found that SREBP-2 was resistant to this regulation (Figure 1), and note that while mouse models of PC depletion are associated with hepatic steatosis, cholesterol levels are not necessarily affected (Jacobs, et al. 2008, JBC). We will determine the mechanisms of this differential regulation which will be important for understanding how lipid or cholesterol synthesis may be inappropriately stimulated in metabolic disease. Figure 1: Depletion of PC biosynthesis enzymes in HepG2 human hepatoma cells causes nuclear localization of SREBP-1, but not SREBP-2. Yellow line shows cell boundary
Rotation Projects: Identify cellular responses to decreased SAMe production Our studies in C. elegans showed that SREBP transcriptional activators could control expression 1CC genes. These studies are important because they demonstrate that levels of these critical enzymes mRNAa are not controlled as a “housekeeping function” but are instead are coordinated with other cellular processes. We have developed two models for 1CC dysfunction in C. elegans, a genetic model based on loss of function (lof) of sams-1, a SBP-1/SREBP responsive gene encoding the enzyme for producing the methyl donor SAMe and a dietary model in which C. elegans are fed bacteria unable to synthesize folate. In both of these models, transcription of lipogenic genes are highly increased and sams-1(lof) worms accumulate large lipid droplets, mimicking aspects of fatty liver disease in mammals. These models will allow use genetic screens as a tool for identifying 1) other regulatory pathways affecting SAMe production or utilization and 2) cellular responses that limit lipogenesis when methyl donor levels are low.

Post Docs: RNAI MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY/ RNA OLIGONUCLEOTIDE CHEMISTRY Develop and characterize novel RNA chemistries to promote efficient oligonucleotide internalization and tissue distribution. Oligonucleotides represent a new class of drugs, which have the promise to become a major class of future therapeutics. There are several chemistries and formulations developed by us and others that effectively support oligo internalization and favorable PK/PD. In most cases in vivo efficacy is limited by (1) poor PK (2) inefficient tissue distribution (3) compound entrapment in biologically inactive intracellular compartments. The objective of future studies will be development of novel chemistries, which promote receptor mediated cellular internalization and/ or endosomal escape. The successful candidate will be responsible for the design and synthesis of novel RNA precursors, optimization of RNA synthesis and conjugation protocols and interface with the biology part of the lab. In addition, exposure to pre-clinical development programs and oligonucleotide manufacturing will be available.

Post Docs: SMALL RNA TRAFFICKING Discover, characterize and adapt mechanisms of small RNA extracellular and intracellular trafficking for development of novel classes of oligonucleotide drugs. A serious limitation in realizing the potential of oligonucleotide based therapies has been the exceedingly inefficient transit of oligonucleotides from outside cells to the intracellular compartments where the biologically relevant activity happens. On the other hand, there are multiple lines of evidence supporting the notion that nature has implemented evolutionarily conserved mechanisms and pathways for efficiently trafficking small RNAs across cellular boundaries. The objective of future studies will be the systematic evaluation of mechanisms of cellular uptake of different classes of oligonucleotides and their comparison to mechanisms of native RNA trafficking using a combination of experimental approaches, including advanced RNA chemistry and high temporal and spatial resolution microscopy in living cells, Mass spectrometry, cell biology and others. The successful candidate will work closely with Victor Ambros and Silvia Corvera labs and the UMASS imaging group and receive training in RNA chemistry, biochemistry, cell biology and pre-clinical development.

So far in this project we have found that the assembly of mRNA export complexes in live cells is regulated by the PI3 kinase/AKT signal transduction pathway and that, for a subset of mRNAs, nuclear export is AKT regulated. The experimental approach for this project integrates molecular techniques and microscopy, especially live cell microscopy. The postdoc in this position could also be involved in studies of the role of nuclear architecture in regulating gene expression and in studying the role of chromatin remodeling enzymes in breast cancer.

Endowed Chair Honorary Title: Gladys Smith Martin Chair in Oncology
Post Docs: A post-doctoral position is available immediately to study the role of genes found in a genome-wide RNAi screen to regulate the cellular response to the chemotherapy agent, cisplatin. The goal is to determine whether these genes function as tumor suppressor and/or regulate the mechanism of DNA repair processing. The laboratory is interested in understanding the role of hereditary cancer genes of the BRCA-Fanconi anemia pathway in DNA damage repair and tumor suppression. We seek motivated candidates with a PhD and background in cancer cell biology. Experience in mouse cancer models is desirable. The exceptional training environment within the Department of Cancer Biology at UMASS Medical School offers a rigorous and interactive research environment covering several aspects of tumor biology. Applicants should have excellent communication skills, and ability to conduct research independently and as a team. To apply, please send your CV with bibliography, a brief description of research experience and contact information for at least two references via email.
Rotation Projects: The laboratory is interested in a range of DNA replication/repair-related topics including (i) Defining biomarkers of “BRCAness” that signifies deficiency in the hereditary breast/ovarian cancer genes, BRCA1 or BRCA2, (ii) Targeting BRCAness as a replication gap vulnerability, (iii) Defining why replication proficiency requires the FANCJ helicase disengage mismatch repair proteins, (iv) Determining if suppressing gaps improves the health of Fanconi anemia patient cells, (v) Hunting down the cancer vulnerability that defines curability, (vi) performing functional genomic screens to uncover mechanisms regulating chemotherapy resistance.

Rotation Projects: Rotation Projects 1) Molecular and neuronal characterization of C. elegans escape behavior Defining sensorimotor circuits requires detailed knowledge of the neural connectivity of the nervous system, and the ability to manipulate the functions of the component neurons and to define and quantify the behavioral outputs. The simplicity and completely defined synaptic connectivity of C. elegans nervous system provides unique opportunity to dissect how neural networks control behavior. 2) Identify genes involved in the processing, expression and subunit composition of voltage-gated calcium channels The release of neurotransmitter from synaptic vesicles is critical for the propagation of signals that generate behavioral outputs. Voltage-gated calcium channels provide the calcium influx essential for synaptic vesicle exocytosis. We are characterizing mutants to identify new genes involved in the proper assembly, expression and trafficking of functional calcium channels. 3) Investigate the evolutionary origins of escape behavior Nematophagous fungi employ a variety of strategies to capture worms. In predator-prey experiments, we have been able to show that the suppression of head movements allows the animal to escape from constricting traps. Further investigation of the neurobiology behind the escape from predation may provide insight into how this behavior evolves.
