Project description:We have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling to identify genes conferring induction of pistillody, homeotic transformation of stamens into pistil-like structures. As a result, we identified five genes which show higher expression levels in pistillody line compared with normal line. Quantitative expression analysis using real-time PCR indicated that among five genes a calmodulin (CaM)-binding protein gene, WCBP1 (wheat calmodulin-binding protein 1), is obviously up-regulated in the young spikes of the pistillody line. The full-length cDNA sequence for WCBP1 showed it is a member of the ACBP60 family CaM-binding protein.

Project description:Toxoplasma gondii is an apicomplexan parasite infecting human and animals, causing huge health concerns and economic losses. Calcium ion, a critical second messenger in cells, can regulate related vital activities, particularly in parasite invasion and escape processes. Calmodulin (CaM) is a short, highly conserved Ca2+ binding protein found in all eukaryotic cells, including apicomplexan parasites. After binding to Ca2+, CaM can be activated to interact with a variety of proteins (such as enzymes). Since direct destruction of CaM is impossible, few studies have been conducted on the function of CaM in T. gondii. We generated the CaM indirect knockout strain (iCaM) using a tetracycline-off system with CaM promoter sequence in T. gondii TATI strain, and compared the transcriptomes of tachyzoites with and without Calmodulin.

Project description:Barley contains a much higher content of bioactive substances than wheat. In order to investigate the effect of genome interaction between barley and wheat on phytosterol content, we used a series of barley chromosome addition lines of common wheat. The wheat 38k-microarray was utilized for screening of genes with expression levels specifically increased by an additive effect or synergistic action between wheat and barley chromosomes. We determined the overall expression pattern of genes related to phytosterol biosynthesis in wheat and in each addition line. Together with determining the phytosterol levels of wheat, barley and each addition line, we assess the critical genes in the phytosterol pathway that can be expressed to promote phytosterol levels. Gene expression levels of each barley chromosome addition line of common wheat were compared to that of common wheat. Total RNA samples were isolated from the 2-week-old seedling leaves. The experiments were replicated three times for each addition line using independent samples.

Project description:Calmodulinopathies are rare inherited arrhythmia syndromes caused by dominant gain of function variants in one of three genes, CALM1, CALM2, and CALM3, which each encode the identical calmodulin (CaM) protein. We hypothesized that antisense oligonucleotide (ASO)-mediated depletion of an affected calmodulin gene would ameliorate disease manifestations, while the other two calmodulin genes would preserve CaM level and function. Here we tested this hypothesis using human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocyte (iPSC-CM) and mouse models of CALM1 pathogenic variants. Human CALM1F142L/+ iPSC-CMs exhibited prolonged action potentials, modeling congenital long QT syndrome. CALM1-depleting ASOs did not alter CaM protein level and normalized repolarization of CALM1F142L/+ iPSC-CMs. Similarly, an ASO targeting murine Calm1 depleted Calm1 transcript without affecting CaM protein level. This ASO alleviated drug-induced arrhythmia in CalmN98S/+ mice without causing observable toxicity. These results provide proof-of-concept that ASOs targeting individual calmodulin genes are potentially effective and safe therapies for calmodulinopathies.

Project description:Effect of CaM overexpression on Arabidopsis transcriptome. Unlike animals, plants are immobile and cannot simply move away from unfavourable environments and thus have developed complex mechanisms to respond to and sense biotic and abiotic signals. These stimuli often lead to tightly controlled changes in cytoplasmic free calcium concentration [Ca2+]cyt termed "calcium signatures" which are thought to be, at least partly, responsible for the specificity of plant responses to the environment. However little is known about how exactly these calcium signatures are decoded into specific end-responses. Calmodulin (CaM) is the most well characterised Ca2+ binding protein and is the primary sensor of changing [Ca2+]. Upon binding Ca2+ CaM undergoes a conformational change allowing binding and activation of a wide variety of target proteins. In plants CaM exists in gene families encoding multiple isoforms. The expression of individual CaM genes can be differentially regulated and isoforms may be differentially localised. Furthermore specific isoforms can bind and activate different target proteins. These features of plant CaM allow the possibility of specificity during calcium signalling in response to specific stimuli. The effect of overexpression of four CaM protein isoforms on the Arabidopsis thaliana transcriptome will be investigated. Ten day old transgenic Arabidopsis seedlings (containing estradiol inducible CaM overexpression constructs) were induced for 9hrs in 5uM estradiol with appropriate water (0.025% DMSO) and empty vector controls.

Project description:Screening of cDNA expression libraries with labelled calmodulin (CaM) as a probe resulted in the isolation of cDNA encoding proteins designated CAMTA (for calmodulin-binding transcription activators). The Arabidopsis genome contains 6 members of this protein family (AtCAMTA1-6) all containing in addition to a defined CaM-binding domain a DNA-binding domain and ankyrin-repeat motifs. RT-PCR analysis revealed that all 6 genes are expressed in all organ throughout plant development. Therefore functional regulation of AtCAMTA proteins is likely mediated by second messengers (e.g. calcium/calmodulin signalling) and protein levels rather than by or in addition to gene expression levels. Based on domain organisation and sequence homologies we identified putative members of this protein family in C. elegans and in human. A yeast system was used to express chimeric fusion proteins comprised of the DNA-binding domain of the bacterial LexA protein with various segments of AtCAMTA1. This analysis revealed a distinct domain of AtCAMTA1 capable of activating transcription. Similar results were obtained with two human CAMTA homologues. To identify the gene targets of CAMTA proteins in Arabidopsiswe plan to analyse the transcriptome in loss_of_function and gain_of_function AtCAMTA mutants. For this we have already isolated a T-DNA insertion mutant of AtCAMTA1 (two alleles) and have requested two other insertion mutants of AtCAMTA2 and AtCAMTA3 identified in other labs. Screening for insertion mutants in the three remaining genes is underway. In addition we have initiated a gain_of_function approach in which DL10 proteins are expressed under the control of the dexamethasone-inducible promoter. Genes whose expression will be found modulated in the mutant plants will be considered candidate targets of AtCAMTA proteins. This analysis will complement an in vitro study of DNA-protein interactions to identify target-binding sites (part of the BBSRC funded project). As a first step in the project proposed to GARNet we suggest to compare the transcriptome in WT whole plants (2 weeks old) with that of three T-DNA insertion AtCAMTA mutants and one line expressing AtCAMTA1 under the control of an inducible promoter.
