NF-kappa B essential modulator (NEMO, IKK-gamma) deficiency is a rare combined immunodeficiency caused by mutations in the IKBKG gene. Conventionally, patients are afflicted with life threatening recurrent microbial infections. Paradoxically, the spectrum of clinical manifestations includes severe inflammatory disorders. The mechanisms leading to autoinflammation in NEMO deficiency are currently unknown. Herein, we sought to investigate the underlying mechanisms of clinical autoinflammatory manifestations in a 12-years old male NEMO deficiency (EDA-ID, OMIM #300,291) patient by comparing the immune profile of the patient before and after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Response to NF-kB activators were measured by cytokine ELISA. Neutrophil and low-density granulocyte (LDG) populations were analyzed by flow cytometry. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) transcriptome before and after HSCT and transcriptome of sorted normal-density neutrophils and LDGs were determined using the NanoString nCounter gene expression panels. ISG15 expression and protein ISGylation was based on Immunoblotting. Consistent with the immune deficiency, PBMCs of the patient were unresponsive to toll-like and T cell receptor-activators. Paradoxically, LDGs comprised 35% of patient PBMCs and elevated expression of genes such as MMP9, LTF, and LCN2 in the granulocytic lineage, high levels of IP-10 in the patient's plasma, spontaneous ISG15 expression and protein ISGylation indicative of a spontaneous type I interferon (IFN) signature were observed, all of which normalized after HSCT. Collectively, our results suggest that type I IFN signature observed in the patient, dysregulated LDGs and spontaneously activated neutrophils, potentially contribute to tissue damage in NEMO deficiency.

Characterization of autoinflammatory manifestations in NEMO deficiency and analysis of gene expression patterns in LRBA and CTLA-4 deficiencies Sürücü, Naz; Gürsel, Mayda; Department of Biology (2022-2-9) NEMO (NF-κB essential modulator, IKK-γ) deficiency that phenotypically manifests as ectodermal dysplasia with immune deficiency (EDA-ID) arises due to hypomorphic mutations in the ikbkg gene in males. Patients present with developmental impairment of ectodermal tissues accompanied with recurrent infections early in life. Herein, we investigated the underlying mechanistic conditions leading to paradoxical autoinflammatory manifestations in a case of NEMO deficiency, who later underwent HSCT. Consistent with ...
Increased production of Coleoptera-specific delta-endotoxin by homologous expression of cry3Aa11 in Bacillus thuringiensis Mm2 Kurt, Aslihan; Özcengiz, Gülay (2011-01-01) The cry3Aa11 gene of Bacillus thuringiensis strain Mm2 (B. thuringiensis Mm2) was PCR-amplified and cloned into E. coli/B. thuringiensis shuttle vector pHT315. The recombinant plasmid carrying the cry3Aa11 gene was introduced into the parental B. thuringiensis Mm2. The toxin production capacities of parental and recombinant strains grown in DSM, containing either 50 mM or 200 mM inorganic phosphate (Pi), were compared by SDS-PAGE and western blot analyses. In comparison to the parental strain, recombinant B...
Molecular cloning, characterization, and homologous expression of an endochitinase gene from Bacillus thuringiensis serovar morrisoni Okay, Sezer; Özcengiz, Gülay (2011-01-01) The endochitinase gene (chi3023) of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) serovar morrisoni strain 3023 was amplified via polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and cloned in Escherichia coli. The ORF of chi3023 (GenBank Accession Number: DQ993175) consists of 2031 nucleotides encoding a 676-residue protein with a calculated molecular mass of 74.5 kDa and a pI value of 6.0. The amino acid sequence of Chi3023 was compared with previously sequenced Bt chitinases and the phylogenetic relationships among them were determined. T...
Inference of Gene Regulatory Networks Via Multiple Data Sources and a Recommendation Method Ozsoy, Makbule Gulcin; Polat, Faruk; Alhajj, Reda (2015-11-12) Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) are composed of biological components, including genes, proteins and metabolites, and their interactions. In general, computational methods are used to infer the connections among these components. However, computational methods should take into account the general features of the GRNs, which are sparseness, scale-free topology, modularity and structure of the inferred networks. In this work, observing the common aspects between recommendation systems and GRNs, we decided to ...
Overexpression of a serine alkaline protease gene in Bacillus licheniformis and its impact on the metabolic reaction network Çalık, Pınar; Oliver, SG; Ozdamar, TH (Elsevier BV, 2003-05-20) This work reports on cloning of serine alkaline protease (SAP) encoding gene subC to a multi-copy plasmid and its expression in Bacillus licheniformis with the quantitative impact of overexpression of the subC gene on metabolic flux distributions. Bioprocess characteristics of the wild-type and the recombinant B. licheniformis were investigated in a defined simple synthetic medium with glucose as the sole carbon source under well-defined bioreactor-operation conditions. Significant physiological changes wer...
