Transcription machinery is a coordinated and complex process, where various proteins have dynamic interactions. We are interested in better understanding how transcription related processes determine the end of 3’UTRs.3’UTRs harbor multiple polyadenylation signals that are selectively used by the polyadenylation machinery. While many factors may infuence poly(A) signal selection, transcriptional initiation and/or elongation is expected to play a major role. To begin investigating this, we chose in silico approach to determine whether transcription elongation rates affect poly(A) signal selection by using an in-house algorithm called APADetect. APADetect reveals potential short and long 3’UTR isoforms, as an indication of differential poly(A) selection. Overall, while inhibition of transcription elongation is also linked to decreased mRNA levels, we detected several cases where target genes are upregulated with a shift in proximal/distal poly(A) site usage.We plan to further investigate whether these unexpected cases are due to indirect effects and/or mRNA stability issues.

Expression Analysis of TaNAC69-1 and TtNAMB-2, Wheat NAC Family Transcription Factor Genes Under Abiotic Stress Conditions in Durum Wheat (Triticum turgidum) Baloglu, Mehmet Cengiz; Oz, Mehmet Tufan; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Yücel, Ayşe Meral (2012-10-01) NAC-type plant-specific transcription factor genes encode proteins that play important roles in abiotic stress responses, as well as regulation of plant development. In the current study, expression profiles of wheat NAC-type transcription factor genes, TaNAC69-1 and TtNAMB-2, were examined under drought, salt, cold, and heat stress conditions in wheat. Based on reverse transcription quantitative PCR results, TaNAC69-1 was strongly expressed under drought, salinity, and high-temperature stress conditions. C...
Enzyme prediction with word embedding approach Akın, Erkan; Atalay, M. Volkan.; Department of Computer Engineering (2019) Information such as molecular function, biological process, and cellular localization can be inferred from the protein sequence. However, protein sequences vary in length. Therefore, the sequence itself cannot be used directly as a feature vector for pattern recognition and machine learning algorithms since these algorithms require fixed length feature vectors. We describe an approach based on the use of the Word2vec model, more specifically continuous skip-gram model to generate the vector representation o...
Protein-Protein Interactions in Live Cells: Reinventing the Wheel Son, Çağdaş Devrim (2018-12-13) G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are membrane proteins that mediate physiologicalresponse to a diverse array of stimuli. In humans, they mediate the action of hundreds ofpeptide hormones, sensory stimuli, odorants, neurotransmitters, and chemokines. GPCRs alsoare targets for ~40% of all currently marketed pharmaceuticals. These receptors traditionallybeen thought to act as monomeric units. However, recent evidence suggests that GPCRs mayform dimers as part of their normal trafficking and function. While ...
Gene expression profiling of Thermoplasma volcanium under extreme stress conditions Kocabıyık, Semra (2014-06-26) Identifying the stress response mechanisms in Archaea mighthave potential applications considering the industrial importanceof their enzymes. In this study, as an extension of our researchon anti-stress mechanisms, we have carried out genome widetranscriptome analysis ofThermoplasma volcanium(grows opti-mally at pH 2.7 and 60◦C) under extreme stress (i.e., heat- shockat 68◦C, hydrogen peroxide, 0.03 mM H2O2and pH stress atpH 5.0) using AgilentCustom Gene Expression Microarray.The data w...
Coevolution based prediction of protein-protein ınteractions with reduced training data Pamuk, Bahar; Can, Tolga; Department of Computer Engineering (2009) Protein-protein interactions are important for the prediction of protein functions since two interacting proteins usually have similar functions in a cell. Available protein interaction networks are incomplete; but, they can be used to predict new interactions in a supervised learning framework. However, in the case that the known protein network includes large number of protein pairs, the training time of the machine learning algorithm becomes quite long. In this thesis work, our aim is to predict protein-...
