The desert is an excellent model for studying evolution under extreme environments. We present here the complete genome and ultraviolet (UV) radiation-induced transcriptome of Deinococcus gobiensis I-0, which was isolated from the cold Gobi desert and shows higher tolerance to gamma radiation and UV light than all other known microorganisms. Nearly half of the genes in the genome encode proteins of unknown function, suggesting that the extreme resistance phenotype may be attributed to unknown ge ...[more]

Project description:This project aims to investigate the metabolic pathways expressed by the active microbial community occurring at the deep continental subsurface. Subsurface chemoLithoautotrophic Microbial Ecosystems (SLiMEs) under oligotrophic conditions are supported by H2; however, the overall ecological trophic structures of these communities are poorly understood. Some deep, fluid-filled fractures in the Witwatersrand Basin, South Africa appear to support inverted trophic pyramids wherein methanogens contributing <5% of the total DNA apparently produce CH4 that supports the rest of the community. Here we show the active metabolic relationships of one such trophic structure by combining metatranscriptomic assemblies, metaproteomic and stable isotopic data, and thermodynamic modeling. Four autotrophic β-proteobacteria genera that are capable of oxidizing sulfur by denitrification dominate. They co-occur with sulfate reducers, anaerobic methane oxidizers and methanogens, which each comprises <5% of the total community. Defining trophic levels of microbial chemolithoautotrophs by the number of transfers from the initial abiotic H2-driven CO2 fixation, we propose a top-down cascade influence of the metabolic consumers that enhances the fitness of the metabolic producers to explain the inverted biomass pyramid of a multitrophic SLiME. Symbiotic partnerships are pivotal in the deep biosphere on and potentially beyond the Earth.

Project description:Molecular characterization of tumors has been critical for identifying important genes in cancer biology and for improving tumor classification and diagnosis. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), as a new, relatively unstudied class of transcripts, provide a rich opportunity to identify both functional drivers and cancer-type specific biomarkers. However, despite the potential importance of lncRNAs to the cancer field, no comprehensive survey of lncRNA expression across various cancers has been reported. We used 3'-End Sequencing for Expression Quantification (3SEQ) to quantify transcript abundance across 64 solid tumors representing 17 diagnostic subtypes of adenocarcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas, and sarcomas. We identified hundreds of transcripts from among the known 1,065 lncRNAs surveyed that show variability in transcript levels between the tumor types, and therefore, make potential biomarker candidates. We discovered 1,071 novel intergenic transcribed regions and demonstrate that these show similar patterns of variability between tumor types. We find that many of these differentially expressed cancer transcripts are also expressed in normal tissues. One such novel transcript specifically expressed in breast tissue was further evaluated using RNA in situ hybridization on a panel of breast tumors and shown to correlate with low tumor grade and estrogen receptor expression, thereby representing a potentially important new breast cancer biomarker. This study provides the first large survey of lncRNA expression within a panel of solid cancers and also identifies a number of novel transcribed regions differentially expressed across distinct cancer types that represent candidate biomarkers for future research. 3SEQ was performed on 64 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) human tumors representing 17 diagnostic cancer subtypes. Duplicate libraries were prepared for two of the tumors (ESS STT5520 and LMS STT516). 3SEQ was also performed on 27 normal human tissue samples. RNA-Seq was performed on 6 breast cancer cell lines for the examination of the breast-specific transcript on chr10. Series supplementary files: 'GSE28866_raw_counts_54511_peaks_cancer_and_normal.txt': Raw_counts: Total 3SEQ reads in each peak for each sample. File includes read counts for 54,511 peaks for the 66 cancer libraries and the 27 normal libraries. 'GSE28866_36048_normalized_peaks_cancer_and_normal.txt': Normalized_peaks: Normalized 3SEQ expression data for the 36,048 filtered peaks for the 66 cancer libraries and the 27 normal libraries. Peaks were classified as coding, lncRNA (Rinn, Bartel, Hughes, Gencode_lnc), other known transcripts (ref_known_Gencode_nc, all_mrna, other known), downstream, intron, promoter, or novel_intergenic. Peaks determined to be differentially expressed in one of the 17 cancer subtypes using a series of 2-Class SAM analyses are noted along with the type of cancer showing upregulation. Expression data was normalized using the sequencing depth of each sample by scaling the data using the mean value of each sample. Data was further compressed to reduce outliers by taking the square root of each value.

Project description:We applied 4-thiouridine to cultured cells expressing the FLAG/HA-tagged RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) followed by UV 365 nm irradiation. The crosslinked RNA-protein complexes were isolated by immunoprecipitation, and the covalently bound RNA was partially digested with RNase T1 and radiolabeled. The radiolabeled RNPs were subsequenctly separated by SDS-PAGE, the crosslinked RNA segments recovered and converted into a cDNA library and sequenced. RBPs were UV-crosslinked to their RNA targets containing 4-thiouridine. The RNA segments were recovered after immunoprecipitation and seqeunced by Solexa.

Project description:Stem cells are highly abundant and proliferate rapidly during early development but become a rare population in most adult organs. The molecular mechanisms causing stem cells to exit proliferation at a specific time are not well understood. Here, we show that changes in energy metabolism induced by the steroid hormone Ecdysone initiate an irreversible cascade of events leading to cell cycle exit in Drosophila neural stem cells. We show that the timely induction of oxidative phosphorylation and the mitochondrial respiratory chain are required in neuroblasts to uncouple cell cycle progression from cell growth. This results in a progressive reduction in neuroblast cell size and ultimately in terminal differentiation. Neuroblasts isolated from brain tumors fail to undergo this shrinkage process and this may explain why they are immortalized. Our findings show that cell size control can be modified by systemic hormonal signaling and reveal a unique connection between metabolism and proliferation control in stem cells.

Project description:Background: Microorganisms are the major cause of food spoilage during storage, processing and distribution. Pseudomonas fluorescens is a typical spoilage bacterium that contributes to a large extent to the spoilage process of proteinaceous food. RpoS is considered an important global regulator involved in stress survival and virulence in many pathogens. Our previous work revealed that RpoS contributed to the spoilage activities of P. fluorescens by regulating resistance to different stress conditions, extracellular acylated homoserine lactone (AHL) levels, extracellular protease and total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) production. However, RpoS-dependent genes in P. fluorescens remained undefined. Results: RNA-seq transcriptomics analysis combined with quantitative proteomics analysis basing on multiplexed isobaric tandem mass tag (TMT) labeling was performed for the P. fluorescens wild-type strain UK4 and its derivative carrying a rpoS mutation. A total of 375 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 212 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified in these two backgrounds. The DGEs were further verified by qRT-PCR tests, and the genes directly regulated by RpoS were confirmed by 5’-RACE-PCR sequencing. The combining transcriptome and proteome analysis revealed a role of this regulator in several cellular processes, including polysaccharide metabolism, intracellular secretion and extracellular structures, cell well biogenesis, stress responses, ammonia and biogenic amine production, which may contribute to biofilm formation, stress resistance and spoilage activities of P. fluorescens. Moreover, in this work we indeed observed that RpoS contributed to the production of the macrocolony biofilm’s matrix.

Project description:Recent studies have reported that competitive endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) can act as sponges for a miRNA through their binding sites and that changes in ceRNA abundances from individual genes can modulate the miRNA’s activity. Consideration of this hypothesis would benefit from knowing the quantitative relationship between a miRNA and its endogenous target sites. Here, we altered intracellular target-site abundance through expression of a miR-122 target in hepatocytes and livers, and analyzed the effects on miR-122 target genes. Target repression was released in a threshold-like manner at high target-site abundance (≥1.5x10^5 added target sites per cell), and this threshold was insensitive to the effective levels of the miRNA. Furthermore, in response to extreme metabolic liver disease models, global target-site abundance of hepatocytes did not change sufficiently to affect miRNA-mediated repression. Thus, modulation of miRNA target abundance is unlikely to cause significant effects on gene expression and metabolism through a ceRNA effect. Seventeen mRNA profiles were generated of 1) primary hepatocytes of mice expressing variable levels of a recombinant Adenovirus expressing the transcript of AldolaseA (Ad-AldoA), containing either 1 or 3 sites matching miR-122 or a mutated miR-122 site (no site), 2) primary hepatocytes derived from mice treated with Antagomir-122 (treatment group) or Antagomir-122mm (control group), 3) livers originating of a genetic model (Ldlr deficient mice) causing severe pathological changes in cholesterol metabolism, 4) livers of mice perfused with Insulin or PBS, and 5) livers of mice fed a high-fat or chow diet; most samples were sequenced in duplicate or triplicate by an Illumina HiSeq 2000. One small RNA profile was also generated from livers of mice fed a chow diet by Solexa sequencing.

Project description:Mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs) closely resemble mouse embryos and are convenient sources for biochemical studies when cell number may be limiting from mouse embryos. To derive the imprinting signature of MEFs and potentially detect novel imprinted genes we characterized them using strand- and allele-specific RNA deep sequencing. We used Sequenom allelotyping in embryo and adult organs to verify parental allele-specific expression patterns. We found correct parental allele-specific transcription of 32 known ubiquitously imprinted genes in MEFs. Our analysis did not reveal any novel imprinted genes in MEFs, but detected extended parental allele-specific transcription in several known imprinted domains: maternal allele-specific transcription downstream of Grb10 and downstream of Meg3, Rtl1as and Rian in the Dlk1-Dio3 cluster, an imprinted domain implicated in development. We detected paternal allele-specific transcription downstream of Nespas, Peg3, Peg12 and Snurf/Snrpn. These imprinted transcript extensions were not unique to MEFs, but were also present in other somatic cells. Their 5’ end points did not carry opposing chromatin marks or parental allele-specific DNA methylation, suggesting that their parental allele-specific transcription is under the control of the extended genes. Based on the imprinting signature of MEFs, they provide valid models for understanding the biochemical aspects of genomic imprinting. Strand-specific and parental allele-specific RNA-seq was done in female mouse embryo fibroblasts.

Project description:As marine invertebrates, oysters lack adaptive immunity and employ innate immunity as the front line and lmost the solo defense mechanism to protect them against invaders. Accumulating research achievements demonstrated that exosomes could act as innate immune effectors that contribute to host defense mechanism. To better understand the immune functions of exosomes in Crassostrea gigas against bacterial stimulation, iTRAQ was applied to explore the global protein changes of exosomes in oyster after Staphylococcus aureus and Vibrio splendidus stimulation.

Project description:Tra1 is a component of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae SAGA and NuA4 complexes and a member of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase kinase family that contain a C-terminal PI3K domain followed by a 35-residue FATC domain. We analyzed alleles with single residue changes in the FATC domain. Of these tra1-L3733A had the most pronounced effects, resulting in phenotypes similar but not identical to those resulting from mutations in the PI3K domain or SAGA or NuA4 components. To analyze the transcriptional effects of the tra1-L3733A allele, we performed gene profiling of wild-type and tra1-L3733A strains. Expression of 11 genes was elevated ≥ 2-fold, 79 genes were decreased ≥ 2-fold. Of the 11 genes with elevated expression, four (HSP26, PIR3, DDR2 and GRE1) have roles in cellular stress response. The only gene ontology process significantly enriched in the genes with decreased expression greater than 2-fold was lysine biosynthesis (GO: 0009085). Broader analysis of gene ontology processes revealed expression of genes involved in cellular respiration (GO:0045333) and the overlapping process generation of precursor metabolites and energy (GO: 0006091) showed an average upward shift of ~10% relative to the total collection of genes. A similar trend of less magnitude was seen for vitamin metabolic processes (GO:0006766). A slight downward shift was seen for genes involved in translation (GO:0006412) and membrane organization (GO:0016044). Examination of gene expression changes in tra1-L3733A
