A Computational Analysis of the H Region of Mouse Olfactory Receptor Locus 28 Deanna Mendez SoCalBSI August 2004 Overview • Background of olfactory receptors • Introduce the H region as a possible cis regulatory element • Define cis regulatory elements • Results of looking for the H region • Discussion of other possibile explanations of H • Future work • Acknowledgements • References Background of Olfactory Receptors Mouse Human Dog OR Pseudogenes 1500 900 838 20% 63% 18% • A single odorant receptor gene is expressed by an olfactory neuron and that the axonal projections map to different glomeruli on the olfactory bulb. • In 2003 a region of homology called the H region was identified as a putative cis regulatory element of the a particular set of olfactory receptors – MOR28 and their orthologous counterparts in humans. Sample Olfactory Receptor Locus: Mor28 40kb 150kb Sakano et al. 2003 • Mouse and Human Model • Conserved 1.6kb region • Without the H region there is little or no expression of ORs Cis acting elements Sakano 2003 4 • A Cis acting elements are a sequence of DNA that can bind transcription factors and in so doing, control or modulate the level of transcriptional initiation from one or more nearby genes.6 • BLAST and Blat – whole genome view – across genome view • Family Relations – local view of DNA Dot Plot: Human and Mouse Human Mouse Pair view of Mouse and Human H region aligned at a 85% threshold Human This diagram shows the region of similarity in the dot plot. The area of high conservation is about 300 base pairs. Mouse Family Relations Dot Plot 95% similiarity Human Mouse Seeing that the region of 300 basepairs was well conserved it became my probe for detecting new H regions. Need for a node in the evolutionary Tree to obtain more general information • Dog Genome was released, assembled, and made publically available in July 2004. • To find an orthologous region in dog I used the three known olfactory receptors in mouse and blasted them to the dog genome and then Science 2003 looked for the gene upstream Unrooted evolutionary tree showing the of the H region in mouse in relationship of Mouse, Human, and Dog. the dog genome.
