Location and Characterization of the lz2 Suppressor of pam-1 in C. elegans

In a single-celled Caenorhabditis elegans, the anterior posterior axis is established when the sperm-donated centrosome meets the posterior cortex, which is fundamental for proper development. pam-1 encodes for the protein puromycin sensitive aminopeptidase and plays a major role in the centrosome positioning and establishment of the anterior posterior axis. Failed polarization of the anterior posterior axis results in embryo lethality in pam-1 mutants. We are interested in the targets of PAM-1 since much remains unknown about the function of this aminopeptidase. To do this, we study five pam-1 suppressors that allow embryos to survive despite pam-1’s lethal phenotype and our goal is to locate their position within the C.elegans genome using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) mapping techniques. Using DNA isolation, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), and gel electrophoresis, we can differentiate between two geographically isolated strains of DNA to distinguish its proximity to pam-1. Through genetic crosses, we have determined that lz2 is a dominant suppressor of pam-1. Through SNP mapping techniques, we have identified the end of the third chromosome as a potential location. lz2 suppressor’s high hatch rate indicates a dominant inheritance pattern. A greater understanding of the mechanisms of suppressors will support our investigation of PAM-1. Additionally, humans share a homologue, NPEPPS, with C. elegans with potential future application to neurodegenerative diseases like Huntington’s and Alzheimer’s

A compendium of multi-omic sequence information from the Saanich Inlet water column.

Marine oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) are widespread regions of the ocean that are currently expanding due to global warming. While inhospitable to most metazoans, OMZs are hotspots for microbial mediated biogeochemical cycling of carbon, nitrogen and sulphur, contributing disproportionately to marine nitrogen loss and climate active trace gas production. Our current understanding of microbial community responses to OMZ expansion is limited by a lack of time-resolved data sets linking multi-omic sequence information (DNA, RNA, protein) to geochemical parameters and process rates. Here, we present six years of time-resolved multi-omic observations in Saanich Inlet, a seasonally anoxic fjord on the coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada that undergoes recurring changes in water column oxygenation status. This compendium provides a unique multi-omic framework for studying microbial community responses to ocean deoxygenation along defined geochemical gradients in OMZ waters
