BRIDGE: an interactive application for multi-omics data analysis, visualization and integration.

SUMMARY: BRIDGE is a Shiny-based application that provides an accessible, modular platform for individual and integrative multi-omics analysis. Using an independent SQLite database backend, it offers a local, private, and user-friendly environment that requires no prior computational expertise. The application supports proteomics, phospho-proteomics, and RNA-seq analyses through a comprehensive suite of visualization and analytical modules, together with an integrated multi-omics analysis pipeline. Built-in caching and asynchronous processing improve responsiveness, enabling efficient exploration, analysis, and visualization of multi-omics datasets on moderate hardware. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: BRIDGE is implemented in R using Shiny and is freely available as a Docker container at https://ghcr.io/paulilab/bridge. A public demonstration server with example datasets is available at https://bridge.imp.ac.at. Code and datasets are also available at https://github.com/paulilab/BRIDGE and under DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20215824.

Formation and nuclear export of preribosomes are functionally linked to the small-ubiquitin-related modifier pathway.

Ribosomal precursor particles are initially assembled in the nucleolus prior to their transfer to the nucleoplasm and export to the cytoplasm. In a screen to identify thermosensitive (ts) mutants defective in the export of pre-60S ribosomal subunit, we isolated the rix16-1 mutant. In this strain, nucleolar accumulation of the Rpl25-eGFP reporter was complemented by UBA2 (a subunit of the E1 sumoylation enzyme). Mutations in UBC9 (E2 enzyme), ULP1 [small-ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) isopeptidase] and SMT3 (SUMO-1) caused 60S export defects. A directed analysis of the SUMO proteome revealed that many ribosome biogenesis factors are sumoylated. Importantly, preribosomal particles along both the 60S and the 40S synthesis pathways were decorated with SUMO, showing its direct involvement. Consistent with this, early 60S assembly factors were genetically linked to SUMO conjugation. Notably, the SUMO deconjugating enzyme Ulp1, which localizes to the nuclear pore complex (NPC), was functionally linked to the 60S export factor Mtr2. Together our data suggest that sumoylation of preribosomal particles in the nucleus and subsequent desumoylation at the NPC is necessary for efficient ribosome biogenesis and export in eukaryotes.
