Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Msn2 regulated genes. Both strains are PKAas (TPK1M164G TPK2M147G TPK3M165G) and msn4-delta. One strain has Msn2 C-terminally tagged with mCherry and the other strain is msn2-delta. In this experiment, both strains were exposed to 3 uM 1-NM-PP1, which leads to Msn2 nuclear localization, for 0, 10, 20 and 40 min. The goal was to determine the genes that show a strong upregulation in the presence of Msn2, but no expression change in the absence of Msn2.

Project description:Binding of transcription factors to DNA is a key regulatory step in the control of gene expression. DNA sequences with high affinity for transcription factors occur more frequently in the genome than instances of genes bound or regulated by these factors. How specific gene regulation is achieved by transcription factors remains unclear. We used genome-wide approaches to study how trans factors shape the binding and regulatory landscape of Pho4, a budding yeast transcription factor that activates gene expression in response to phosphate limitation. In no phosphate (0mM phosphate) medium, Pho4 is transported into the nucleus and activates transcription of a set of genes (PHO) that are necessary for cell survival in phosphate limited environment. In high phosphate (10mM phosphate) medium, Pho4 is transported outside of the nucleus and the transcription program of PHO genes are turned off. Here we examined the transcription profiling of S. cerevisiae (W303) in various strains treated in media with 10mM or 0mM inorganic phosphate, to study the the transcription activation by Pho4 its cooperative binding factor Pho2, and its competitive binding factor Cbf1. (I) To infer how much Pho4 itself, Pho2 itself, and the interaction between Pho2 and Pho4 contribute to transcriptional activation in response to Pi starvation, we applied mutant cycle analysis to compare wild type, pho2Δ, pho4Δ and pho2Δ pho4Δ strains in both 10 mM and 0 mM Pi conditions. Mutant cycle analysis is a cyclic comparison among all various mutants. For example, by comparing pho2Δ and pho2Δ pho4Δ, we can directly infer the contribution from Pho4 alone to gene activation. And by comparing wild type and pho2Δ, we can infer the contribution from Pho2 alone together with that from the interaction between Pho2 and Pho4. (II) Compare two strains or one strain in two treatments in multiple replicates with dye-swap method. wt no vs high Pi, to identify genes that are induced in response to Pi starvation. cbf1Δ vs wt in high Pi, to identify the influence of Cbf1 on gene expression in high Pi condition. cbf1Δpho4Δ vs wt in high Pi, to identify the influence of Cbf1 on gene expression that is mediated through Pho4, in high Pi condition. rtg3Δtye7Δ vs wt in high Pi, to identify the influence of Rtg3 and Tye7 on gene expression in high Pi condition. pho80Δ vs pho80Δpho4Δ, to identify the genes that are activated Pho4 when Pho4 is fully nuclear localized. pho80Δcbf1Δ vs pho80Δcbf1Δpho4Δ, to identify the influence of Cbf1 on gene expression that is mediated through Pho4, when Pho4 is fully nuclear localized.

Project description:The Snf1 kinase plays a critical role in recalibrating cellular metabolism in response to glucose depletion. Hundreds of genes show changes in expression levels when the SNF1 gene is deleted. However, cells can adapt to the absence of a specific gene when grown in long term culture. Here we apply a chemical genetic method to rapidly and selectively inactivate a modified Snf1 kinase using a pyrazolopyrimidine inhibitor. By allowing cells to adjust to a change in carbon source prior to inhibition of the Snf1 kinase activity, we identified a set of genes whose expression increased when Snf1 was inhibited. Prominent in this set are genes that are activated by Gcn4, a transcriptional activator of amino acid biosynthetic genes. Deletion of Snf1 increased Gcn4 protein levels without affecting its mRNA levels. The increased Gcn4 protein levels required the Gcn2 kinase and Gcn20, regulators of GCN4 translation. These data indicate that Snf1 functions upstream of Gcn20 to regulate control of GCN4 translation. Experiment Overall Design: Strains growing in raffinose medium and expressing Snf1 and Snf1-I132G proteins were treated with a pyrazolopyrimidine inhibitor (2NM-PP1) to specifically inhibit Snf1-I132G kinase activity. RNA combined from three individual transformants were processed in duplicate for each strain, for a total analysis of four Affymetrix Yeast Genome S98 arrays.

Project description:Protein Kinase A (PKA) is a widely studied protein that has been viewed by most investigators as a single entity, although its catalytic subunits are coded in the genome by two separate genes, PKA catalytic alpha (Gene symbol: Prkaca) and PKA catalytic beta Gene symbol: Prkacb). At an amino-acid level, the two are 91.5 percent identical and the catalytic domains are virtually identical. (Footnote: A third entity PKA catalytic gamma, is not widely expressed and will not be considered here.) We have recently succeeded in using CRISPR-Cas9 to create disruptive mutations in both PKA genes (PKA double KO, or PKA dKO) in vasopressin-responsive kidney epithelial cells (mpkCCD cells). Here we carry out mass spectrometry based quantitative proteomics and phosphoproteomics separately in PKA catalytic-alpha and PKA catalytic-beta single knockouts address the issue of function difference between these two PKA catalytic subunits.

Project description:Analysis of splicing defects in Schizosaccharomyces pombe upon chemical genetic inhibition of splicing kinases dsk1, lkh1, and prp4, as well as alanine-mutation of phosphorylated residues in the splicing factors bpb1, prp2, rsd1, srp1, srp2, usp101, usp103, sum3, prp22, cdc5, and cwf22. This study shows the splicing kinase dsk1 modulates splicing efficiency of introns with non-consensus splice sites, likely through phosphorylation of bpb1. Modulation of splicing efficiency of transcripts through kinase signaling pathways may afford the necessary flexibility to tune the gene expression profile in response to environmental and developmental cues. Experiments were conducted as direct two-color designs with 2-3 biological replicates per genotype pairing. Raw microarray data was normalized with loess normalization using the R package limma. Log2-fold changes (perturbation over reference) are reported. Each splicing event on the custom-designed splicing microarray was monitored with an exon probe reading out mRNA changes, an intron probe for unspliced pre-mRNA, and a splice junction probe spanning the junction between two spliced exons. For the analysis of the splicing efficiency for a given intron, a score was calculated as exon*intron/junction.

Project description:Cardiac myosin-binding protein C (cMyBP-C) is a thick filament–associated protein that influences actin–myosin interactions. cMyBP-C alters myofilament structure and contractile properties in a protein kinase A (PKA) phosphorylation–dependent manner. To determine the effects of cMyBP-C and its phosphorylation on the microsecond rotational dynamics of actin filaments, we attached a phosphorescent probe to F-actin at Cys-374 and performed transient phosphorescence anisotropy (TPA) experiments. Binding of cMyBP-C N-terminal domains (C0-C2) to labeled F-actin reduced rotational flexibility by 20–25º, indicated by increased final anisotropy of the TPA decay. The effects of C0-C2 on actin TPA were highly cooperative (n ~ 8), suggesting that the cMyBP-C N terminus impacts the rotational dynamics of actin spanning seven monomers (i.e. the length of tropomyosin). PKA-mediated phosphorylation of C0-C2 eliminated the cooperative effects on actin flexibility and modestly increased actin rotational rates. Effects of Ser-to-Asp phosphomimetic substitutions in the M-domain of C0-C2 on actin dynamics only partially recapitulated the phosphorylation effects. C0-C1 (lacking M-domain/C2) similarly exhibited reduced cooperativity, but not as reduced as by phosphorylated C0-C2. These results suggest an important regulatory role of the M-domain in cMyBP-C effects on actin structural dynamics. In contrast, phosphomimetic substitution of the glycogen synthase kinase (GSK3beta) site in the Pro/Ala-rich linker of C0-C2 did not significantly affect the TPA results. We conclude that cMyBP-C binding and PKA-mediated phosphorylation can modulate actin dynamics. We propose that these N-terminal cMyBP-C–induced changes in actin dynamics help explain the functional effects of cMyBP-C phosphorylation on actin–myosin interactions.

Project description:In the present study, we employed Affymetrix Staphylococcus aureus GeneChip arrays to investigate the dynamics of global gene expression profiles during the cellular response of Staphylococcus aureus to Ortho-Phenylphenol, which involved initial growth inhibition and metabolism. Keywords: Time course We conducted five independent microarray experiments (biological replicates) in the absence (control) and the presence (experimental) of Ortho-Phenylphenol. We calculated fold change as the ratio between the signal averages of five untreated (control) and five ortho-phenylphenol-treated (experimental) cultures for 0, 20 and 60 min exposures.

Project description:Protein phosphorylation plays a crucial role in propagating cellular responses to both internal and external cues. One of the most important kinases responsible for protein phosphorylation is protein kinase A (PKA). N-[2-p-bromocinnamylamino-ethyl]-5-isoquinolinesulphonamide (H89) is often used as a “PKA specific inhibitor” to study the involvement of PKA in signaling pathways. However, evidence from cell-free experiments suggested that H89 can also inhibit other kinases. In this experiment, previously-generated mouse collecting duct cell lines with and without PKA were treated with H89, followed by mass spectrometry-based phosphoproteomics to globally assess changes in phosphorylation.

Project description:ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers regulate chromatin structure during multiple stages of transcription. We report that RSC, an essential chromatin remodeler, is recruited to the open reading frames (ORFs) of actively transcribed genes genome-wide, suggesting a role for RSC in regulating transcription elongation. Consistent with such a role, Pol II occupancy in the ORFs of weakly transcribed genes is drastically reduced upon depletion of the RSC catalytic subunit Sth1. RSC inactivation also reduced histone H3 occupancy across transcribed regions. Remarkably, the strongest effects on Pol II and H3 occupancy were confined to the genes displaying the greatest RSC ORF enrichment. Additionally, RSC recruitment to the ORF requires the activities of the SAGA and NuA4 HAT complexes and is aided by the activities of the Pol II CTD Ser2 kinases Bur1 and Ctk1. Overall, our findings strongly implicate ORF-associated RSC in governing Pol II function and in maintaining chromatin structure over transcribed regions. ChIP-chip experiments to measure Sth1, Rpb3 and H3 occupancy in WT and various mutants (histone acetyltransferase and Pol II CTD kinase mutants). The histone H3 and Rpb3 occupancy were also measured in cells upon Sth1 depletion. The WT and mutant strains were grown in Synthetic complete or YPD media to an O.D. 600 of 0.6-0.8. For inducing Gcn4, the cells grown in SC were treated with Sulfometuron methyl for 20-25 minutes and process for chromatin immunoprecipitation using antibodies again Myc, Rpb3 or histone H3.
