Wednesday, December 9th

Schedule

• Continuing on with annotation examples and suggested papers from participants:
• Annotating causal relationships and downstream effects
  • TAIR annotation consistency exercise: The MYB36 transcription factor orchestrates Casparian strip formation.
• Annotations involving specific isoforms and feedforward circuits
  • WormBase: MIG-10 (Lamellipodin) stabilizes invading cell adhesion to basement membrane and is a negative transcriptional target of EGL-43 in C. elegans.
• Localized cell polarization and GTPase cycle
  • PomBase: The Tea4-PP1 landmark promotes local growth by dual Cdc42 GEF recruitment and GAP exclusion.
• Regulation of cell proliferation, ubiquitin ligase activity, protein stabilization and localization
  • Swiss-Prot: A novel ARF-binding protein (LZAP) alters ARF regulation of HDM2.
• miRNA-mediated regulation of transcription factor activity and transcription of enzyme responsible for H2S production and subsequent cell differentation
  • UCL: Specificity protein-1 as a critical regulator of human cystathionine gamma-lyase in smooth muscle cells.
  • UCL: MicroRNA-21 represses human cystathionine gamma-lyase expression by targeting at specificity protein-1 in smooth muscle cells.
• Role of SWI/SNF complex involved during development
  • MGI: Brg1 coordinates multiple processes during retinogenesis and is a tumor suppressor in retinoblastoma
• Autophagy and cellular differentiation
  • MGI and Swiss-Prot: PIM-2 is an independent regulator of chondrocyte survival and autophagy in the epiphyseal growth plate.

Thursday, December 10th
