RESOLUTE Plasmid Collection


Solute carrier proteins (SLCs) are the largest family of transporters in the human genome with approximately 450 identified members. Many SLCs have mutations associated with disease and could become targets for drug development. RESOLUTE (Link opens in a new window) is a public-private partnership of 13 members from industry and academia financed by the Innovative Medicine Initiative (IMI) of the European Union. The RESOLUTE mission is to develop data and reagents to boost the research focused on SLCs.

Through the coupling of an inclusive, ‘open-access ethos’ to the results, techniques, and reagents with the highest-possible quality of research output, RESOLUTE expects to accelerate the pace of research in the field of SLCs to the global benefit of basic academic research as well as applied research in small biotech and pharmaceutical companies.

The RESOLUTE project has received funding from the Innovative Medicines Initiative 2 Joint Undertaking under grant agreement No 777372. This Joint Undertaking receives support from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme and EFPIA.

Figure shows four transmembrane proteins integrated within the cell membrane's lipid bilayer each presenting four to five transmembrane cylindrical subunits that create a channel and allow for solute flux into the cell. Two of the proteins are decorated with oligosaccharides in the extracellular domain. The first protein is labeled as "SLC knowledgebase" and shows a disease mutation that results in the improper folding of one of the subunits and the obstruction of the channel. The second protein is labeled as "optimized protein expression". The third protein shows a circular zoom in image of an antibody recognizing the extracellular domain which is labeled as "anti-SLC antibody", and another circular zoom in image of a number of globular elements interacting with the intracellular domain which is labeled as "interaction proteomics". The fourth protein is labeled as "assay development" and is shown allowing the influx of elements that are attached to green and orange reporters. Inside of the cell, another transmembrane protein is embedded in the mitochondrial membrane and is labelled as "subcellular localization". Within the nucleus, two sections of a X-shaped chromosome titled as "gene regulation" are highlighted in green and red. The color extends towards two of the transmembrane proteins, with the label "metabolomics". Lastly, a circular panel labeled as "genetic interactions" shows four different cells with chromosomes highlighting two sections in different colors, some of them are crosses. One of the cells is in apoptosis, and its chromosome contains two crosses.
Figure 1: Representation of RESOLUTE mission. The combination of metabolomics and genome engineering forms the core of the deorphanizing engine. Genetic and proteomic interactions represent the framework that provides biological context. Assays monitoring impedance, fluorescence, mass/charge properties, protein thermal stabilization, and changes of voltage all contribute to assess ligand action/engagement. Protein production is used for assays and to generate antibody/ high-affinity ligands. Data is embedded in an integrated knowledgebase that features, among others, genetic variants and disease associations.

Plasmids

This plasmid collection contains codon-optimized ORF sequences for human SLCs and SLC binder sequences in Gateway-compatible cloning vectors (pDONR, pENTR), bacterial expression vectors (pET22b, pBXNPFLAGH), and lentiviral vectors (pCW57.1). The table also includes empty vectors developed by the RESOLUTE Consortium.

Pooled Libraries

CRISPR and overexpression pooled libraries are useful tools for genetic screening experiments. These libraries target the solute carrier family of proteins.
