    Bioss antibodies against unc80
    Expression patterns of ADAR2-mediated RNA editing of <t>Unc80</t> in the brain and its structural implications. Total RNA was extracted from various tissues and brain regions from wild-type (WT) and Adar2-knockout (KO) mice. The samples were then analyzed using RT-PCR ( A ) and Sanger sequencing ( B ). The sequencing chromatograms highlight the absence of guanine (“G”) signals (indicated by arrows) in the KO samples, demonstrating the reliance of Unc80 editing on ADAR2’s enzymatic function. Differences in RNA editing levels across brain regions were also observed. The percentage represents the editing frequency, calculated by taking the peak area of G peak over the sum of A and G peaks. ( C ) Prediction of 3-dimensional protein structure models of Unc80 WT and Unc80 S2732G . The magnified view of the region of interest highlights the residue change from Ser to Gly due to editing. ( D ) Immunofluorescence analysis on olfactory bulb coronal sections, specifically localizing Unc80 (green) and NeuN (red) protein. The a and b correspond to magnified views of the white dashed boxes in left panel. The arrows indicate the positions of overlapping fluorescence (green and red). Scale bars = 200 µm in the left panel and 40 µm in the magnified images. (TA: Tibialis anterior muscle, GA: Gastrocnemius muscle, CT: cortex, CB: cerebellum, HP: hippocampus, OB: olfactory bulb).

    Generation of Unc80 -deleted and site-specific RNA editing mouse models: ( A ) Experimental schematic of the CRISPR/Cas9-based genetic engineering to generate deficient and knock-in mouse models. gRNA (nucleotide with orange background) together with Cas9 created indels, thus establishing knockout mice. In parallel, the addition of synthesized homologous DNA templates corresponding to the Unc80 sequence region with a substitution for the “pre-edited” (G-form) allele (gain of editing) or the “unedited” version (loss of editing) resulted in the knock-in models. ( B ) Breeding schemes of mice with site-specific knock-ins at the Unc80 editing site. ( C ) Genomic DNA sequencing for genotyping demonstrates the WT sequence (top) and mutations in founder strains ( Unc80 +/− ). Deletions and point mutations are indicated by a red background and purple boxes, respectively, in heterozygous deletion (Unc80 +/− ) or knock-in mice ( Unc80 S/S , Unc80 G/G , and Unc80 S/G ). The green box denotes the targeted editing site. ( D ) Gross morphological comparison and body weights of newborn (P0) mice across genotypes. ( E ) Offspring genotyping from heterozygous Unc80 +/− crosses reveals a lower-than-expected birth rate for homozygous deletion offspring, whereas knock-in alleles followed an approximately Mendelian inheritance pattern. ( F,G ) Unc80 protein and mRNA levels in brain tissue lysates (cortex and olfactory bulb) from CRISPR-engineered Unc80 -deficient mice were assessed via immunoblotting ( F ) and qRT-PCR (OB, ( G )).

    Neurophysiological connection of Unc80 editing event to olfactory sensing and motor control: Habituation and dishabituation behaviors, in response to odors, were analyzed for Unc80 knockout and site-specific editing variants ( A , B ), along with odor-induced neuronal activity assays ( C , D ). Mice with different genotypes (wild-type vs. Unc80 +/− in ( A ), Unc80 S/S vs. Unc80 G/G in ( B )) were exposed to odors, and their explorative times near the odor source were recorded and presented as mean ± SD. The cohorts consisted of: WT (n = 13), Unc80 +/− (n = 5), Unc80 S/S (n = 9), Unc80 G/G (n = 8). For the neuronal activation assay, knock-in mice with site-specific edits were either not exposed or exposed to banana oil for up to 60 min and subsequently sacrificed for olfactory bulb isolation, from which total RNA and proteins were prepared for qRT-PCR ( C ) and Western blot ( D ) analyses, respectively. Changes in the expression of c-Fos were monitored as a readout for neuronal activation. The bar graph represents the relative mRNA expression levels of Fos. Statistical significance is indicated as follows: ns (not significant); p > 0.05; * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001.

    Transcriptomic analysis of the olfactory bulb in Unc80 editing variant mice. Transcriptome-wide RNA-seq was conducted to identify changes in the olfactory bulb of Unc80 S/S and Unc80 G/G mice. ( A – C ) The overall transcriptome distribution is represented in a principal component analysis (PCA) plot ( A ) and a volcano plot ( B ), delineating genotype-specific gene expression profiles. A heatmap ( C ) displays genes with significant differential expression (|fold-change| > 1.5, p < 0.05; n = 6 per genotype, with samples pooled from three mice each) between the two strains. ( D ) Bubble chart of the enriched canonical pathway from IPA analysis. The x -axis represents the significance ( p -value), and the y -axis shows the top 17 significantly enriched pathways based on differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The size of the circles corresponds to the number of genes associated with each pathway. The colors of the bubbles denote the Z-score, indicating whether the pathway is activated (orange, positive Z-score) or inhibited (blue, negative Z-score). ( E ) Normalized read count plots highlight expression variations in gene sets linked to neuronal signaling between Unc80 S/S and Unc80 G/G mice. Statistical significance in this figure is indicated as follows: * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001.

    Expression patterns of ADAR2-mediated RNA editing of Unc80 in the brain and its structural implications. Total RNA was extracted from various tissues and brain regions from wild-type (WT) and Adar2-knockout (KO) mice. The samples were then analyzed using RT-PCR ( A ) and Sanger sequencing ( B ). The sequencing chromatograms highlight the absence of guanine (“G”) signals (indicated by arrows) in the KO samples, demonstrating the reliance of Unc80 editing on ADAR2’s enzymatic function. Differences in RNA editing levels across brain regions were also observed. The percentage represents the editing frequency, calculated by taking the peak area of G peak over the sum of A and G peaks. ( C ) Prediction of 3-dimensional protein structure models of Unc80 WT and Unc80 S2732G . The magnified view of the region of interest highlights the residue change from Ser to Gly due to editing. ( D ) Immunofluorescence analysis on olfactory bulb coronal sections, specifically localizing Unc80 (green) and NeuN (red) protein. The a and b correspond to magnified views of the white dashed boxes in left panel. The arrows indicate the positions of overlapping fluorescence (green and red). Scale bars = 200 µm in the left panel and 40 µm in the magnified images. (TA: Tibialis anterior muscle, GA: Gastrocnemius muscle, CT: cortex, CB: cerebellum, HP: hippocampus, OB: olfactory bulb).

( B ) Breeding schemes of mice with site-specific knock-ins at the Unc80 editing site. ( C ) Genomic DNA sequencing for genotyping demonstrates the WT sequence (top) and mutations in founder strains ( Unc80 +/− ). Deletions and point mutations are indicated by a red background and purple boxes, respectively, in heterozygous deletion (Unc80 +/− ) or knock-in mice ( Unc80 S/S , Unc80 G/G , and Unc80 S/G ). The green box denotes the targeted editing site. ( D ) Gross morphological comparison and body weights of newborn (P0) mice across genotypes. ( E ) Offspring genotyping from heterozygous Unc80 +/− crosses reveals a lower-than-expected birth rate for homozygous deletion offspring, whereas knock-in alleles followed an approximately Mendelian inheritance pattern.

    Neurophysiological connection of Unc80 editing event to olfactory sensing and motor control: Habituation and dishabituation behaviors, in response to odors, were analyzed for Unc80 knockout and site-specific editing variants ( A , B ), along with odor-induced neuronal activity assays ( C , D ). Mice with different genotypes (wild-type vs. Unc80 +/− in ( A ), Unc80 S/S vs. Unc80 G/G in ( B )) were exposed to odors, and their explorative times near the odor source were recorded and presented as mean ± SD. The cohorts consisted of: WT (n = 13), Unc80 +/− (n = 5), Unc80 S/S (n = 9), Unc80 G/G (n = 8). For the neuronal activation assay, knock-in mice with site-specific edits were either not exposed or exposed to banana oil for up to 60 min and subsequently sacrificed for olfactory bulb isolation, from which total RNA and proteins were prepared for qRT-PCR ( C ) and Western blot ( D ) analyses, respectively. Changes in the expression of c-Fos were monitored as a readout for neuronal activation. The bar graph represents the relative mRNA expression levels of Fos. Statistical significance is indicated as follows: ns (not significant); p > 0.05; * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001.

    Techniques:

    Currents observed in M3R and M3R + NALCN/Unc80/Src cells exhibited similar properties to currents observed in untransfected cells and eGFP transfected cells. (A) The amplitude of the current at +20 mV before and after application of muscarinic receptor agonist (muscarine iodide or Oxo-M) at 100 μM for all cells tested. There was a significant main effect between the current amplitude before and after agonist (within-subject effect in a two-way mixed-design ANOVA, DF = 1, p = 7.0 × 10 −7 , followed by Bonferroni post hoc tests; where * indicates p < 0.05). There were no significant differences between the current amplitudes of untransfected, eGFP, M3R or M3R + NALCN/Unc80/Src cells (between subject effects; DF = 3, p = 0.53). (B) The amplitude of the current at +20 mV before and after application of muscarinic receptor agonist (muscarine iodide or Oxo-M) at 100 μM for only responsive cells. There was a significant main effect between the current amplitude before and after agonist (within-subject effect in a two-way mixed-design ANOVA, DF = 1, p = 9.1 × 10 −6 , followed by Bonferroni post hoc tests; where * indicates p < 0.05). There were no significant differences between the current amplitudes of untransfected, eGFP, M3R or M3R + NALCN/Unc80/Src cells (between subject effects; DF = 3, p = 0.55). (C) Percentage of untransfected, eGFP, M3R and M3R + NALCN/Unc80/Src cells considered responsive to muscarinic receptor agonist application were not significantly different (p = 0.51, Chi-square test). (D) Mean reversal potentials for currents elicited from responsive untransfected, eGFP, M3R and M3R + NALCN/Unc80/Src cells were not significantly different (p = 0.49, one way ANOVA). All error bars represent ±SEM.

    STRING diagram referenced by Exomiser and showing the proximity of UNC80 in the interactome to NALCN. The edges of this diagram indicate predicted functional links and are colored to indicate supporting evidence for that link (green indicates proteins in the same neighborhood; pink indicates a connection made through experimentation; yellow connections established via text mining for co-occurrence of gene or protein names in abstracts; and light blue indicates relationships supported in databases Biocarta, BioCyc, GO, KEGG, and Reactome). Applying Exomiser to each variant that passed the frequency and segregation filters, we were able to compare the patient’s HPO terms to all human diseases associated with the gene containing the variant in OMIM or Orphanet, to phenotypes associated with orthologs mutated in mice or zebrafish, and lastly to phenotypes associated with nearby genes in the protein-protein association network. For the propositae, Exomiser calculated the phenotype score by considering the similarity of their phenotype to mutation of NACLN (Table I) and the proximity of NACLN to UNC80. The Exomiser variant score is a measure of the predicted pathogenicity and allele frequency of a variant. Exomiser also generated a general score that was calculated from the phenotype and variant scores.
