Project description:We characterized two independent insertional mutants of the AtEXO70A1 gene, encoding a subunit of the exocyst complex. Homozygous mutants exhibit a suite of phenotypic defects: polar growth of root hairs and stigmatic papillae is disturbed; organs are generally smaller; plants show loss of apical dominance and an indeterminate growth where instead of floral meristems new lateral inflorescences are initiated in a reiterative manner; exo70A1 mutants have dramatically reduced fertility. These results suggest that EXO70A1 is involved in cell and organ morphogenesis. Keywords: Expression profiling by array

Project description:In addition to the canonical RNAi pathways that targets mRNAs in the cytoplasm, several RNA-dependent pathways operate in the nucleus to induce sequence-specific epigenetic modifications. One specialized type of RNAi-mediated pathway is RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM). During RdDM, nuclear DNA with sequence identity to the trigger dsRNA is de novo methylated at almost all cytosine residues, providing a mark for the formation of transcriptionally silent heterochromatin. Genetic forward screens identified the RPD3-like histone deacetylase HDA6 as the enzyme responsible for the histone deacetylation step of RdDM and suggest that HDA6 might have acquired specific functions for RNA-directed transcriptional silencing processes [Aufsatz et al., 2002a; Aufsatz et al., 2002b]. Complete loss-of-function mutants for AtHDA6 (rts1-1; RNA-mediated transcriptional gene silencing) exhibit reactivation of RdDM-silenced promoters, despite the continuous presence of the silencing-inducing RNA signal. One of the found mutant alleles, rts1-5, has an amino acid substitution located at a conserved position within the HDAC domain (Naumann et al., manuscript in preparation). This mutant is characterized by strong reactivation of an RdDM-silenced target promoter, despite maintaining wild-type levels of cytosine methylation. An evaluation of the transcription pattern among the mutants with opposite methylation phenotype and wild-type plants should show which genes are differentially regulated between the mutants in comparison to wild-type plants.

Project description:This experiment was designed to identify transcripts which are changed in plants deficient for evolutionary conserved EST1B gene. A mutation in est1b leads to a constitutive up-regulation of a PAD4-dependent pathogen response pathway. To eliminate secondary effects of the constitutive pathogen response in est1b mutants we will analyze transcriptoms in plants in which lack PAD4.

Project description:The aim of the experiment is to look at transcriptional changes in null mutants of APS kinase. There are four APS kinase isoforms in Arabidopsis, we are interested in the double mutant APK1/APK2, created by crossing two single salk lines. The transcriptomes of WT (Col-0) plants and the double knockout (ab) will be compared. The plants were grown under controlled environment conditions of 10h day, 14h night, 22 degrees centigrade, 60% humidity for five weeks. 10 whole rosettes were pooled for each replicate, there are three replicates for each genotype.

Project description:The aim of this work is to investigate whether A. thaliana senses low temperature by perceiving changes in membrane fluidity. To this end, we have performed an experiment to test whether mutant or transgenic plants with altered membrane lipid composition, regulate their gene expression in the same manner as wild type plants in response to cold. Previous work has demonstrated that a change in the expression levels of a number of genes is important in acquiring tolerance to low temperatures. Chemicals which rigidify cell membranes in such a way as to mimic the effects of cold have been shown to be able to induce the expression of such genes. However, because of the non-specific nature of such chemical treatments, it has not been possible to demonstrate unequivocally that the changes in gene expression observed were the result of changes in membrane fluidity. All of the mutants used in our experiment, fab1, fad2-2 and the fad3/fad7/fad8 mutant, have increased lipid saturation levels compared to wild type plants and are thought to have reduced membrane fluidity. The fab1 mutant is also known to be sensitive to chilling. In the fab1 mutant the elongation of 16:0 fatty acids to 18:0 is reduced. The fad2-2 mutant has reduced 18:1 desaturase activity and hence reduced amounts of polyunsaturated phospholipids. The fad3/fad7/fad8 triple mutant is deficient in 18:2 desaturase activity and consequently unable to synthesise trienoic fatty acids. The transgenic line used contained a 35S::FAD3 transgene and in contrast to the mutants tested, should have increased lipid desaturation and increased membrane fluidity. A. thaliana ecotype Col-0 was used as the wild type control for the fab1 and fad2-2 mutants, in addition to the 35S::FAD3 line. The fad3/fad7/fad8 mutant had previously been transformed with the 35S::apoaequorin transgene and a Columbia line expressing apoaequorin under the control of the same promoter, was included to control for the presence of aequorin. Nine day old seedlings grown in petri-dishes on MS were transferred from their growth room (20 oC, 16 h photoperiod, 100 E m-2 s-1) to a growth cabinet (20 oC, 16 h photoperiod,160 m-2 s-1) 24 hours before the experiment began. The next day, one petri-dish of seedlings from each line of plants used was transferred to a cabinet running at 5 oC (16 h photoperiod,160 E m-2 s-1). Control plates remained at 20 oC. Seedlings were harvested after three hours and frozen in liquid nitrogen. 12 samples were used in this experiment

Project description:Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a conserved mRNA quality control mechanism that identifies and destroys aberrant mRNAs that contain premature termination codons (PTCs). The NMD core comprises seven proteins, from SMG1 to SMG7. Arabidopsis has orthologues of most of these proteins. Studies on yeast, Drosophila, Humans and Arabidopsis reveal that NMD not only functions to target PTC-containing mRNAs but also acts as a global regulator of gene expression. It has also been reported that the NMD pathway branches with some target genes being dependent on specific NMD factors. In order to determine the extent to which different NMD factors co-regulate or independently regulate Arabidopsis genes, transcriptome analysis of smg7b-1 mutants will be carried out and added to existent data of upf1, upf3 and smg5 NMD mutants for comparison. RNA will be extracted from 17 day-old mutant and wild type seedlings grown at 22-24 C under constant light. 4 samples were used in this experiment

Project description:Eukaryotic cells have evolved a mechanism called nonsense mediated mRNA decay (NMD) that detects and degrades aberrant mRNAs that contain premature termination codons (PTCs). NMD has recently acquired broader importance as it has been found to regulate not only aberrant mRNAs but also a great diversity of transcripts, including wild type genes in mammals, Drosophila and yeast. Seven proteins are the core of the NMD complex: SMG1, SMG2 (UPF1), SMG3 (UPF2), SMG4 (UPF3), SMG5, SMG6 and SMG7. Plants have orthologues of most of these proteins. We have identified and characterized a number of alleles of UPF1, UPF3 and SMG5 and made 35S:UPF2 RNAi (upf2i) transgenic plants, all of which share some phenotypic characteristics. Transcriptome analysis of upf1 and upf3 mutants has identified a subset of genes coregulated by UPF1 and UPF3 and, therefore, by NMD (unpublished data). By doing further transcriptome analysis on smg5 mutants and upf2i plants we aim to build a more robust subset of NMD targets in Arabidopsis. RNA will be extracted from 17 day-old mutant, transgenic and wild type seedlings grown at 22-24 C under constant light. 6 samples were used in this experiment

Project description:The nonsense-mediated mRNA decay pathway (NMD) is a quality control mechanism that detects and degrades mRNAs that contain premature translation termination codons (PTCs), thus preventing the production of potentially harmful truncated proteins. NMD has been studied in a number of organisms including humans, yeast, Drosophila, C. elegans and recently Arabidopsis. Recently the NMD process has been shown to have a wider significance in regulating the levels of mRNA expression for a wide range of genes in yeast and Drosophila. Several genes have been found to be required for NMD in a variety of organisms, including UPF1 and UPF3. We have identified and characterised a number of alleles of UPF1 and UPF3 in Arabidopsis that are defective in NMD. By doing a transcriptomic analysis of two NMD mutants, upf1-1 and upf3-1, and wild type plants we aim to identify the subset of genes that are co-regulated by UPF1 and UPF3 and, therefore, by NMD in Arabidopsis. RNA will be extracted from 17-day-old mutant and wild type seedlings grown at 22-24 C under constant light. 7 samples were used in this experiment.
