Genes differentially expressed in wild-type Medicago truncatula plants during nodulation

ABSTRACT: We used an Affymetrix oligonucleotide microarray consisting of 9,935 tentative consensus (TC)sequences, which are based on cDNA libraries (Mitra et al., 2004 [PMID:15220482]). We examined gene expression of wild-type M. truncatula plants after inoculation with wild-type S. meliloti at 1 d, 4 d, 7d, 14 d, and 21 d. We chose these time points because they span the range of development of the Rhizobium-legume symbiosis, from initiation of the interaction through nitrogen fixation. The gene expression data for the 1-day time point (Mitra et al., 2004 [PMID 15220482]) and the other time points was previously published (Starker el al., 2006 [PMID 16407449]). Three or five independent biological replicates were performed at each time point (1, 4, 7, 14 and 21 days after treatment) and each treatment (buffer and wild-type bacteria).

The Rhizobium-legume symbiosis culminates in the exchange of nutrients in the root nodule. Bacteria within the nodule reduce molecular nitrogen for plant use and plants provide bacteria with carbon-containing compounds. Following the initial signaling events that lead to plant infection, little is known about the plant requirements for establishment and maintenance of the symbiosis. We screened 44,000 M2 plants from fast neutron-irradiated Medicago truncatula seeds and isolated eight independent ...[more]

Project description:Aiming at defining the protein content and composition of a single mitochondrion of Arabidopsis thaliana, shotgun analyses were performed on purified mitochondria from cultured heterotrophic Arabidopsis cells. Based on microscopic observations on the size of mitochondria, as well as biochemical properties, such as protein concentration, average molecular mass of proteins, and the average length of the signal peptide, intensity-based absolute quantification (iBAQ) values were applied to calculate the copy number of each identified protein species within a single mitochondrion. Copy numbers of the individual proteins span five orders of magnitude, ranging from >40,000 for Voltage-Dependent Anion Channel 1 (VDAC1) to sub-stoichiometric copy numbers, i.e. less than a single copy per single mitochondrion, for several pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins that modify mitochondrial transcripts.

Project description:Differences in genome size and gene content are among the most important signatures of microbial adaptation and genome evolution. Here, we investigated the patterns of genome variation among strains of the symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti. Using the sequenced strain Rm1021 as a reference, the genome size and gene content variations were analyzed among ten diverse natural strains, through pulse field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and whole-genome microarray hybridizations. Our PFGE analysis showed a genome size range of 6.45-7.01Mbp, with the greatest variation arising from the pSymA replicon, followed by that of pSymB. No observable size difference was evident among the chromosomes. Consistent with this pattern of size differences, 41.2% of ORFs on pSymA were variably absent/present, followed by 12.7% on pSymB, and 3.7% on the chromosome. However, the percentages of ORFs that were variably duplicated were more evenly distributed among the three replicons, 11.0%, 16.5% and 15.3% respectively for ORFs on pSymA, pSymB and the chromosome. Among the 10 strains, the percentages of absent ORFs ranged from 1.51% to 6.35% and those of duplicated ORFs ranged from 0.27% to 8.56%. Our analyses showed that host plants, geographic origins, multilocus enzyme electrophoretic types, and replicon sizes had little influence on the distribution patterns of absent or duplicated ORFs. The proportions of ORFs that were either variably absent/present or variably duplicated differed greatly among the functional categories, for each of the three replicons as well as for the whole genome. Interestingly, we observed positive correlations among the three replicons in their numbers of absent ORFs as well as the numbers of duplicated ORFs, consistent with coordinated gene gains/losses in this important bacterium in nature. microarray:Sm6kOligo A total of 12 strains were included for the microarray analyses in this study. The 12 strains included two reference strains and ten other natural strains. Reference strain Rm1021 was the strain with a completely sequenced genome, from which the whole genome microarray was based on (Krol et al. 2004). The second reference strain RmF909 was derived from strain Rm1021 but with a deletion of 575 ORFs located on the megaplasmid pSymB (genomic location 106724-735431, Charles et al. 1991). The two reference strains were used for positive and negative controls in our microarray hybridization experiments and for establishing threshold values for determining whether an ORF is present or absent among natural strains.
