Agenda

Tuesday, December 8th

Schedule

• 10am Seminar: Using LEGO to Represent Biological Knowledge - Paul T. and Chris
  • For a more general audience
• 11am Workshop Begins: More specific introduction to LEGO for curators
• Lunch
• 1:30pm? Hands-on with Noctua
  • Creating simple annatons in Noctua

    • A regulation paper Pfkl-- http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6446714 also see http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK22395/

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.
• This paper shows that the Msd1/wdr8 complex is transported to the SPB by dynein, and then subsequently involved in microtubule attachment to the SPB
  • PomBase: The Msd1-Wdr8-Pkl1 complex anchors microtubule minus ends to fission yeast spindle pole bodies
• Localized cell polarization and GTPase cycle - to be discussed possibly at a later time
  • 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.
• Mix of species in paper
  • UCL: Ubiquitin-specific protease 19 regulates the stability of the E3 ubiquitin ligase MARCH6.
• Useful example of when the substrate is a non-protein (for the ribonuclease activity).
  • UCL: Structure of the Ire1 autophosphorylation complex and implications for the unfolded protein response.
• Looks like a relatively simple annotation model
  • UCL: ER stress induces cleavage of membrane-bound ATF6 by the same proteases that process SREBPs.
• More complicated view of ER stress and UPR
  • UCL: Wolfram syndrome 1 gene negatively regulates ER stress signaling in rodent and human cells.
• Regulation of transcription factor activity via protein stabilization, localization - direct or indirect regulation?
  • UCL: DJ-1, a cancer- and Parkinson's disease-associated protein, stabilizes the antioxidant transcriptional master regulator Nrf2.

Thursday, December 10th

Schedule

• Future plans and thoughts
  • Seeding models
  • Plans for going forward
    • Dedicated LEGO curation conference calls?
