The transcriptome of RDX (hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine)-degrading strain Gordonia sp. strain KTR9 and its glnR mutant were studied as a function of nitrogen availability to further investigate the observed ammonium-mediated inhibition of RDX degradation. The results indicate that nitrogen availability is a major determinant of RDX degradation and xplA gene expression in KTR9. ...[more]

Project description:Gene disruption of KTR9_0186 resulted in a 2-fold increase in TAG content in nitrogen starved cells. Lipase mutants subjected to carbon starvation, following nitrogen starvation, retained 75% more TAGs and retained pigmentation. Transcriptome expression data confirmed the deletion of KTR9_0186 and identified the up-regulation of key genes involved in fatty acid degradation, a likely compensatory mechanism for reduced TAG mobilization.

KTR9 strain used in this study has been previously described (PMID 16332812) A 12 x 135K array study using total RNA recovered from triplicate cultures of KTR9 under carbon starvation and triplicate cultures of KTR9 0186 Mutant under carbon starvation.

Project description:we measured the impact of the addition or 500 micromolar of ferulic acid or p-coumaric acids in A. fabrum C58 after 24 H of growth in AT mimimum media with succinate as carbone source. Results showed similar impact of both compounds on gene expression with a large induction of genes involved in metabolism and expression processes. Moreover, an unexpected induction of two gene operons those encoded proteins were involved in the biosynthesis of siderophore was detected.

Project description:As multicellular organisms, plants must integrate responses to environmental cues across different cell types and also over time. Nitrate is the major source of available Nitrogen for plants, and a limiting factor for plant growth and productivity. Plant root s are highly impacted by nitrate availability, modifying their architecture to optimize nitrate uptake from soils. In order to understand how this functional response is dynamically orchestrated across different cell types of the root, space and time must be addressed within the same experimental setup. We performed a transcriptomic analysis in five major root cell types of Arabidopsis plants in response to nitrate treatments considering short and long time exposure to this macronutrient. We found nitrate treatment triggers a dynamic reprogramming of root cell gene expression that follows a spatial pattern over time consistent with an early regulation of nitrate transport and assimilation in external layers of the root and a later regulation of hormonal and developmental processes in more internal layers of the root.

Project description:In order to provide global information on gene expression during growth on C2 compounds, microarray analysis of M. extorquens AM1 cells was carried out, comparing ethylamine-grown cells to succinate-grown cells. This comparison has confirmed previous observations on the inducible nature of some of the enzymes involved in C2 metabolism, such as methylamine (and ethylamine) utilization system (mau), putative enzymes for converting acetaldehyde into acetate and acetyl-CoA, and enzymes of the ethylmalonyl-CoA pathway that has been proposed to operate for assimilation of acetyl-CoA into cell biomass. RNA from ethylamine-grown cells was compared to RNA from succinate-grown cells. Four biological replicates were carried out.

Project description:The goal of this work is to identify the gene regulatory hubs that control nitrogen-use in Oryza sativa, one of the most important crop plants, by using a combination of genomics, bioinformatics and systems biology approaches. Here, we evaluate the role of bZIP1, a transcription factor involved in light and nitrogen sensing, by exposing wild-type (WT) and bZIP1 T-DNA null mutant plants to a combinatorial space of N and L treatment conditions. We use ANOVA analysis combined with clustering and Boolean modeling, to evaluate the role of bZIP1 in mediating L and N signaling genome-wide. We also study the interspecies conservation, comparing rice with Arabidopsis thaliana nitrogen transcriptomes, to help identify conserved nitrogen regulation.

Project description:Auxin is a key phytohormone regulating central processes in plants that include embryo development, lateral root growth and flower maturation among others. Auxin is sensed by a set of F-Box proteins of the TIR1/AFB3 family triggering auxin dependent responses by a pathway that involves an interplay between the Aux/IAA transcription repressors and the ARF transcription factors. We have previously shown that the AFB3 auxin receptor has a specific role in coordinating primary and lateral root growth to external and internal nitrate availability (Vidal et al., 2010). In this work, we used an integrated genomics, bioinformatics and molecular genetics approach to dissect regulatory networks acting downstream AFB3 that are activated by a transient nitrate treatment in Arabidopsis roots. Our systems approach unraveled key components of the AFB3 regulatory network leading to changes in lateral root growth in response to nitrate. Arabidopsis seedlings of the Ws and afb3-1 genotypes were grown on hydroponic medium containing 1X MS salts without Nitrogen, supplemented with 0.5 mM ammonium succinate as Nitrogen source and 3 mM sucrose on a Percival chamber under a photoperiod of 16 hours of light (100 μE/m2/sec) and 8 hours of dark at 22°C for 14 days. The plants were treated at the onset of the light cycle with 5 mM KNO3 or 5 mM KCl as control for 2 hours. Whole roots were cut from seedlings and frozen on liquid Nitrogen. Total RNA was extracted using the TriZol reagent. 3 independent biological replicates were performed.

Project description:Nitrate regulates plant growth and development and acts as a potent signal to control gene expression in Arabidopsis. Using an integrative bioinformatics approach we identified TGA1 and TGA4 as putative regulatory factors that mediate nitrate responses in Arabidopsis thaliana roots. We showed that both TGA1 and TGA4 mRNAs accumulate strongly and quickly after nitrate treatments in root organs in a tissue-specific manner. Phenotypic analysis of tga1/tga4 double mutant plants indicated that TGA1 and TGA4 are necessary for nitrate modulation of both primary and lateral root growth. Global gene expression analysis revealed that 97% of the genes with altered expression in tga1/tga4 double mutant plants are regulated by nitrate treatments indicating these transcription factors have a specific role in nitrate responses in Arabidopsis root organs. Among the nitrate-responsive genes that depend on TGA1/TGA4 for normal regulation of gene expression, we found nitrate transporters NRT2.1, NRT2.2 and nitrite reductase (NIR) genes. Specific binding of TGA1 to its cognate DNA sequence on the target gene promoters was confirmed by chromatin immunoprecipitation assays. These results identify TGA1 and TGA4 as important regulatory factors of the nitrate response in Arabidopsis roots. Arabidopsis seedlings of the Col-0 and tga1/tga4 genotypes were grown on hydroponic medium containing 1X MS salts without Nitrogen, supplemented with 0.5 mM ammonium succinate as Nitrogen source and 3 mM sucrose on a Percival chamber under a photoperiod of 16 hours of light (100 ?E/m2/sec) and 8 hours of dark at 22°C for 14 days. The plants were treated at the onset of the light cycle with 5 mM KNO3 or 5 mM KCl as control for 2 hours. Whole roots were cut from seedlings and frozen on liquid Nitrogen. Total RNA was extracted using the TriZol reagent. 3 independent biological replicates were performed.

Project description:Meiotic chromosome architecture called M-bM-^@M-^\axis-loop structuresM-bM-^@M-^] and histone modifications have been demonstrated to regulate the Spo11-dependent formation of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) that trigger meiotic recombination. Using genome-wide chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analyses followed by deep sequencing, we compared the genome-wide distribution of the axis protein Rec8 (the kleisin subunit of meiotic cohesin) with that of oligomeric DNA covalently bound to Spo11, indicative of DSB sites. The frequency of DSB sites is overall constant between Rec8 binding sites. However, DSB cold spots are observed in regions spanning M-BM-10.8 kb around Rec8 binding sites. The axis-associated cold spots are not due to exclusion of Spo11 localization from the axis, since ChIP experiments revealed that substantial Spo11 persists at Rec8 binding sites during DSB formation. Spo11 fused with Gal4 DNA binding domain (Gal4BD-Spo11) tethered in close proximity (M-bM-^IM-$0.8 kb) to Rec8 binding sites hardly forms meiotic DSBs, in contrast with other regions. In addition, H3K4 tri-methylation (H3K4me3) remarkably decreases at Rec8 binding sites. These results suggest that reduced histone H3K4me3 in combination with inactivation of Spo11 activity on the axis discourages DSB hot spot formation.
