Project description:This study is part of the Mutant Mouse Regional Resource Center Research. The series subsets represent the strain and age group for easy comparisons. Each subseries has data for three different tissues (brain, liver and kidney) and 2 sexes. Keywords: other
Project description:Salmonella enterica var. Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) is a Gram-negative, facultative intracellular pathogen that infects the intestinal tracts of humans and animals. In the host, S. Typhimurium encounters a wide range of oxygen concentrations going from oxic conditions in the stomach to near anoxic conditions in the distal sigmoid colon-rectal junction. In Escherichia coli, FNR (Fumarate Nitrate Reductase) is one of the main regulatory proteins involved in oxygen sensing and in controlling the transcription of the genes required for the aerobic/anaerobic transition.. However, the role of FNR in S. Typhimurium is largely unknown. To assess its role in S. Typhimurium, we constructed an FNR- mutant (NC983) in the pathogenic wild-type (WT) strain, ATCC14028s. The WT and the fnr- mutant strains were grown under anaerobic conditions in a Coy Anaerobic Chamber. Total RNAs were isolated when the cultures reached an OD600 of 0.3 (mid-log). Microarray slides were used to compare the global expression patterns of the two strains (i.e., 14028s vs. NC983). On each slides there were three replicas of the Salmonella genome and we swapped dyes, thus having a total of six replicates for each gene.

Methylation-specifically digested DNA (Cy3) was hybridized against methylation-sensitively digested DNA (Cy5) from the same sample.

Project description:Escherichia coli strains MG1655 and an isogenic norR::Tn5 mutant were grown in a New Brunswick Scientific Bioflow III Biofermentor under continuous culture (chemostat) conditions. Cells were grown in defined media containing 54 mM glycerol as the sole and limiting source of energy and carbon. The working volume was 1 litre, and the dilution rate 0.1 h-1. In order to establish anaerobic growth, nitrogen was sparged through the chemostat medium prior to inoculation and throughout the course of the experiment at a rate of 0.2 l/min. No dissolved oxygen was detectable using the OxyProbe. Sodium fumarate was added at a final concentration of 50 mM to act as a terminal electron acceptor. Cells were grown as above to steady-state, At steady-state, NOC-5 and NOC-7 were added to the chemostat culture and to the nutrient feed at a final concentration of 10 uM of each. Samples were taken after a period of 5 min exposure to NOC for subsequent analysis using microarrays. Cells were harvested directly into RNA Protect (Qiagen) to stabilize RNA, and total RNA was purified using Qiagen’s RNeasy Mini kit as recommended by the suppliers. Equal quantities of RNA from Wild type and norR::Tn5 cultures were labelled using nucleotide analogues of dCTP containing either Cy3 or Cy5 fluorescent dyes. The average signal intensity and local background correction were obtained using a commercially available software package from Biodiscovery, Inc (Imagene, version 4.0 and GeneSight, version 3.5). The mean values from each channel were log2 transformed and normalised using the Lowess method to remove intensity-dependent effects in the log2(ratios) values. The Cy3/Cy5 fluorescent ratios were calculated from the normalized values Each strain was grown twice in seperate chemostat runs, exposed to NO. Samples were hybridised as WT vs NorR::Tn5 and each hybridisation had a corresponding dye-swap performed.
