Abstract: Many insects have co-evolved associations with microbial symbionts that are more consequential than our relationship with the human microbiome. These symbionts may live within insect cells, be inherited across generations, and support host survival. My research group and our collaborators have developed genetic toolkits for engineering diverse bacterial symbionts associated with flies, aphids, bees, and other insects. Because of their important and integrated functions, engineered symbionts can be used to study insect biology, protect beneficial insects, and prevent pests from vectoring disease. Recently, we have examined how culturable “protosymbiont” strains of Serratia symbiotica colonize aphids and demonstrated that they are transmitted to offspring. We are now attempting to attenuate the pathogenicity of these strains to initiate new stable symbioses. In other work, we have shown that the honey bee gut symbiont Snodgrassella alvi can be engineered to express double-stranded RNAs that induce a targeted RNA interference response in their hosts. These engineered symbionts can be used to knock down expression of bee genes as a tool for functional genomics. We have also used double-stranded RNA expression by symbionts to prime the bee immune system against viral infection and induce a self-killing response in parasitic Varroa mites that feed on bees in order to protect pollinator health.

Abstract: Our ultimate research goal is to develop clinically translatable nucleic acid therapeutics and vaccines, along with their delivery systems. In this talk, we will mainly discuss small circular mRNA (circRNA) vaccines for cancer immunotherapy and the prevention of infectious diseases. Modification-free small circRNA vaccines are highly stable and sequence-defined with unique innate immunomodulatory mechanisms and sustained production of concatemeric antigens, resulting in robust and long-lasting adaptive immunity. Relative to several state-of-the-art modified mRNAs, nanocarrier-delivered circRNA vaccines elicited up to 10-fold antigen-specific T cells in mice, with superior T cell memory and vaccine safety. circRNA vaccines are widely applicable for tumor and viral (neo)antigens to elicit potent and long-lasting CD8+/CD4+ T cell responses in young or immunosenescent aged mice. Combining circRNA vaccines with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) reduced tumor immunosuppression and eradicated multiple types of murine tumors, including ICB-resistant BrafV600E melanoma. Moreover, pulmonary delivery of influenza circRNA vaccines protected mice from influenza challenge. Overall, small circRNA vaccines are promising for versatile applications. Lastly, we will also briefly discuss our research in cGAS-STING- and ADAR1- related nucleic acid therapeutics and drug delivery systems for cancer and autoimmune diseases.

Abstract: Bacteria use small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) and the RNA chaperone Hfq to regulate mRNA translation and stability, akin to miRNAs and the RISC complex in eukaryotes. The approaches to defining bacterial sRNAs and their targets have dramatically improved since the screens that first identified many of them over 20 years ago. Current tools provide a global view of Hfq-binding RNAs that suggests increasingly interwoven regulatory networks, helping cell respond appropriately to stress and host interactions. On-switches for sRNAs are primarily at the level of transcription; when transcription ceases, most of the sRNAs are used stoichiometrically, being degraded as they are used, providing an effective Off-switch for sRNA regulation. We have used genetic screens to identify novel regulators of both Hfq and the sRNAs. One of these, HqbA, binds directly to the distal face of Hfq, and competes with weakly binding RNAs for association with Hfq, suggesting it is a new quality control regulator for Hfq. Data suggests that this is a bifunctional protein, directly regulating Hfq by protein-protein interaction and regulating other processes independently of Hfq. HqbA, along with other factors, help to ensure appropriate hierarchy of sRNA function.

Abstract: Bacterial termination factor Rho co-transcriptionally surveils the nascent RNA and releases damaged and junk transcripts from RNA polymerase. During rapid growth, Rho maintains the transcriptome health, but how is Rho activity modulated during dormancy or stress, conditions prevalent in natural habitats? Rho is a hexameric RNA helicase that adopts active closed-ring and inactive open-ring states, and the interconversion between these states is thought to be a key checkpoint in Rho control. I will discuss two mechanisms by which ligands that bind at Rho subunit interfaces restrain ring dynamics. The Sm-like Rof protein binds at the extended RNA-binding site of Rho, occluding its RNA- and RNA polymerase-binding sites and locking the hexamer open. The stress alarmone (p)ppGpp binds to the ATP-binding site and stabilizes the open ring, triggering phase separation into inactive higher-order oligomers and extended filaments. These and other anti-termination mechanisms are expected to silence Rho under conditions when unrestrained termination would be lethal.

The 17th Annual Prechter Lecture will feature keynote speaker Andy Dunn, entrepreneur, author, and investor. Dunn co-founded the menswear ecommerce brand Bonobos in 2007 and served as the company’s CEO for its first ten years, pioneering the digitally native brand movement. Bonobos was the first American brand launched to scale using e-commerce. The company’s inventory-free store model, called guideshops, redefined what an offline retail experience can be in the digital era. A decade after its founding, Bonobos was acquired for $310 million. In 2022, Dunn published a memoir. In it, he lifts the veil on the mental health demons he’d been privately battling as he built Bonobos. "Burn Rate: Launching a Startup and Losing My Mind" chronicles his journey at the intersection of entrepreneurship and bipolar disorder.

Following Andy Dunn's presentation will be a panel discussion highlighting the Prechter Program's research projects.

Abstract: This talk will focus on long-range signaling in CRISPR-Cas9, a cutting-edge genome editing tool. The transformative potential of Cas9 as a precision therapeutic cannot be realized without an understanding of its interdomain communication and the mitigation of deleterious off-target cleavage, which is being characterized at the atomic level in the group. A series of vignettes will highlight NMR studies of Cas9 through a “divide-and-conquer” approach using engineered protein constructs and first demonstrate that multi-timescale motions in the catalytic nuclease of Cas9 propagates chemical information that regulates cleavage of double-stranded DNA. The talk will also highlight specificity-enhancing mutations in Cas9 that rewire its regulatory mechanism and RNA interactions at the molecular level to mitigate off-target DNA cleavage. Critical energetics of the mechanism will be discussed, including the importance of metal ions and the protonation state of the catalytic histidine, studied via catalytic pocket mutations that limit conformational sampling of the Cas9 active state. Lastly, insight from canonical Cas9s will be expanded to highly stable thermophiles that are more promising for genome engineering and offer tunable high-temperature DNA editing and RNA binding. The underlying chemistry and atomic level dynamics of Cas9 will be linked to its nucleic acid interactions and biological outcomes, hopefully opening new avenues for intuitive manipulation of its function and precision therapeutic properties.

Abstract: Repeat or microsatellite expansions are responsible for more than 50 human diseases. Myotonic dystrophy (DM), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are a few examples of repeat expansion diseases. RNA processing (pre-mRNA splicing) pathways are negatively impacted in these diseases with specific changes in pre-mRNA splicing proposed to lead to symptoms observed in affected individuals. Many of the projects in the lab combine biochemical, molecular, and genomic approaches with cellular and other model systems to understand the mechanisms through which these diseases alter pre-mRNA splicing. Through screening approaches, small molecules have been identified that reduce the levels of the repeat expansion RNAs and rescue mis-splicing in DM and SCA cell and animal models.

Keywords: Myotonic Dystrophy, Spinocerebellar Ataxias, Alternative Splicing and RNA Binding Proteins

Abstract: Non-coding RNAs must fold into specific structures to create the machinery for protein synthesis or to control gene expression. As nascent transcripts can form different base pairing interactions, finding the right partner can take time. RNA chaperone proteins increase the RNA dynamics, enabling the kinetic selection of optimal RNA interactions. How a DEAD-box helicase improves the fidelity of ribosome assembly and how Hfq increases the selectivity of small RNA regulation will be discussed.
