Project description:The OsMyb4 transcription factor of rice represents a more recent example of a regulatory gene used in various attempts to develop stress-tolerant crops by regulon engineering. Although OsMyb4 confers tolerance to low temperature and drought by affecting the biosynthesis of compatible osmolytes and the phenylpropanoid metabolic process, the exact composition and scope of the OsMyb4 network has not been established from the previous analysis of heterologous overexpression in Arabidopsis. Further characterization of the OsMyb4 regulon at the global scale will facilitate understanding of the intricate underpinnings of a pathway independent of the DREB/CBF network. To dissect the OsMyb4 network of rice in relation to chilling stress response mechanisms, we conducted a gene expression profiling using transgenic rice overexpressing the OsMyb4 cDNA. This experiment describes the analysis of the gene expression changes as a result of supra-optimal expression of transcription factor (OsMYB4) overexpressed as transgenic in the cv. Nipponbare. Control (WT) and transgenic (OsMYB4-OX) samples were labeled with Cy3 and Cy5, respectively. No dye-swap replicates was performed in this experiment. The microarray platform used in this study was the 45k oligonucleotide microarray (www.ricearray.org), which comes in pairs of slides A and B (each containing about 50% of the total number of features). The data described in this series includes all hybridizations with slide A and with slide B. Experiments were performed with two independent biological replicates (R1 and R2) for each transgenic line.

Project description:In this study, DNA microarray technology was used to measure global gene expression in M. catarrhalis cells that had attached to human bronchial epithelial cells in culture. M. catarrhalis ATCC 43617 was allowed to attach (MOI~30) to a monolayer of 16HBE14 human bronchial epithelial cells for 2 hr in OmniTray cell culture plates. Additional portions of these bacteria were incubated in tissue culture medium in 75-cm2 cell culture flasks in the absence of 16HBE14 cells for 2 hr. After this incubation period, the medium in the flask with the 16HBE14 monolayer was decanted and replaced with tissue culture medium containing 25 mM sodium azide (to protect RNA). The 16HBE14 monolayer and attached bacteria were released from the plastic by scraping. After low-speed centrifugation to collect these bronchial cells and attached bacteria, the cell pellet was re-suspended in TE containing 1% saponin (which lyses the human cells). After a 10-min incubation at 37M-BM-0C, the bacterial cells were collected by centrifugation. The bacteria growing in the flask without human cells were treated identically and then harvested by centrifugation. Total RNA was extracted from both sets of bacterial cells by using the Qiagen RNeasy Midi kit. DNA microarray analysis, slide scanning, and statistical analysis of the data were performed. RNA was isolated four times and used in five DNA microarray hybridizations; M-bM-^@M-^\dye swapM-bM-^@M-^] experiments were performed twice. Two additional independent experiments were performed to isolate two sets of RNA samples for qRT-PCR analysis to validate DNA microarray data.

Project description:Virulence of Cryptococcus neoformans for mammals was proposed to emerge from evolutionary pressures on its natural environment by protozoan predators, which selected for strategies that allow survival within macrophages. In fact, Acanthamoeba castellanii ingests yeast cells, which then replicate intracellularly. In addition, most fungal factors needed to establish infection in the mammalian host are also important for survival within the amoeba. To better understand the origin of C. neoformans virulence, we compared the transcriptional profile of yeast cells internalized by amoebae and murine macrophages after 6 h of infection. Our results showed 656 and 293 genes whose expression changed at least two-fold in response to the intracellular environments of amoebae and macrophages, respectively. Among the genes common to both groups, we focused on the ORF CNAG_05662, which was potentially related to sugar transport. We constructed a mutant strain and evaluated its ability to grow on various carbon sources. The results showed that this gene, named PTP1 (Polyol Transporter Protein 1), is involved in the transport of 5- and 6-carbon polyols but its absence had no effect on virulence. Overall, our results are consistent with the hypothesis that mammalian virulence originated from fungal-protozoal interactions and provide a better understanding of how C. neoformans adapts to the mammalian host. Four conditions, pairwise-compared: cells in vegetative growth at 28C versus cells within amoebae at 28C; and cells in vegetative growth at 37C/5% CO2 versus cells within macrophages at 37C/5% CO2. Three biological replicates for each condition. One replicate per array.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of four different yeast FZF1 alleles: S. cerevisiae, S. paradoxus and two reciprocal chimeras with the coding and 5' noncoding region from opposite species of S. cerevisiae and S. paradoxus, both before and 15 minutes after sulfite addition. FZF1 is a transcription factor that is known to be turned on in response to sulfite. Here we determine whether the FZF1 allele from two species leads to different transcriptional responses and the effect of the individual noncoding and coding regions on the transcriptional response. Two-color experiment, 4 Strains x 2 Timepoints each compared to a reference pool made up of all samples. 3 Biologic replicates. With dye-swaps

Project description:Chromosomal double-strand breaks (DSBs) are resected by 5M-bM-^@M-^Y-nucleases to form 3M-bM-^@M-^Y single-strand DNA (ssDNA) substrates for binding by homologous recombination and DNA damage checkpoint proteins. Two redundant pathways of extensive resection were described both in cells and in vitro, one relying on Exo1 exonuclease and the other on Sgs1 helicase and Dna2 nuclease. However, it remains unknown how resection proceeds within the context of chromatin where histones and histone-bound proteins represent barriers for resection enzymes. Here, we have identified the yeast nucleosome remodeling enzyme Fun30 as novel factor promoting DSB end resection. Fun30 is the major nucleosome remodeler promoting extensive Exo1- and Sgs1-dependent resection of DSBs while the RSC and INO80 chromatin remodeling complexes play redundant roles with Fun30 in resection adjacent to DSB ends. ATPase and helicase domains of Fun30, which are needed for nucleosome remodeling, are also required for resection. Fun30 is robustly recruited to DNA breaks and spreads around the DSB coincident with resection. Fun30 becomes less important for resection in the absence of the histone-bound Rad9 checkpoint adaptor protein known to block 5M-bM-^@M-^Y strand processing and in the absence of either histone H3 K79 methylation or M-NM-3-H2A, which mediate recruitment of the Rad9 . Together these data suggest that Fun30 helps to overcome the inhibitory effect of Rad9 on DNA resection. Genome-wide expression profiling of Yeast gene expression in two cell type including the wild type and a FUN30 knockout cell, each cell type is tested in two duplicates. Test relative gene integration efficiency in yeast genome-wide homozygous diploid deletion mutants.

Project description:To gain insight into the basic mechanism of Hydrogen peroxide detoxification in the methylotrophic yeast, H. polymorpha, we analyzed changes in transcriptional profiles in response to hydrogen peroxide exposure. Total RNA samples were collected from H. polymorpha cells after 30 min incubation with 0.5mM hydrogen peroxide. Using the RNA sample obtained prior to hydrogen peroxide addition as a reference, the differential fluorescence intensities of each RNA sample prepared at the indicated time was measured after labeling with Cy3 or Cy5 fluorochromes. For all analyses, we performed dye swapping experiments to avoid dye bias.

Project description:In order to study the function of the Campylobacter jejuni Cj0667 gene, a series of experiments were carried out. Two strains were constructed: a Cj0667 knockout strain and a strain with a second copy over-expressing Cj0667 from an fdxA promoter. The transcriptomes of these were all compared to the wild-type strain. The arrays are all from RNA isolated in mid-exponential growth. Batch cultures of Campylobacter jejuni NCTC 11168 were grown in 50 ml volumes of Brucella broth in 70cm tissue culture flasks. Microaerophilic conditions were generated using a MACS-VA500 microaerophilic work station (5% Oxygen, 10% Carbon dioxide, 85% Nitrogen) from Don Whitley Scientific, Ltd which also maintained the growth temperature at 37 M-BM-:C. RNA was extracted from C. jejuni cultures grown to an OD600 of approximately 0.4. Briefly, 0.1 volume of 5% phenol in ethanol was mixed with the broth culture, and after centrifugation RNA was isolated with Tri Reagent (Sigma) and chloroform. RNA was further purified using the RNeasy kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys instructions. The RNA was treated with Turbo DNA-free (Ambion) to remove any residual DNA according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys instructions. RNA concentration was determined using the Nanodrop Spectrophotometer NS-1000 (Thermo Scientific). RNA preparations of each sample type were labelled and hybridized to custom-designed Agilent microarrays. Equal quantities of RNA from test and control cultures were labelled by using nucleotide homologues of dUTP containing either Cy3 or Cy5 fluorescent dye (Perkin Elmer). For each microarray slide, the test strain was labelled with Cy3-dUTP, while the wild-type sample was labelled with Cy5-dUTP. RNA (15 M-BM-5g) was primed with 5 M-BM-5g pd(N)6 random hexamers (Amersham Biosciences). The Affinity Script kit (GE Healthcare) was used to produce cDNA, and hybridized (Agilent Hi-RPM Gene Expression Hybridization Kit) to the microarray slide according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys instructions. Microarrays were scanned at 5 M-BM-5m using an Axon 4000A scanner, and images were acquired using GenePix Pro 3.0 software (Axon). Related analysis reference: Holmes K., Mulholland F., Pearson B.

Project description:In order to study the function of the Campylobacter jejuni Cj0138 gene, a series of experiments were carried out. Three strains were constructed: a Cj0138 knockout strain, a strain where the Cj0138 knockout was complemented in trans, and a strain with a second copy over-expressing Cj0138 from an fdxA promoter. The transcriptomes of these were all compared to the wild-type strain. The arrays are all from RNA isolated in mid-exponential growth from independent biological replicates. Batch cultures of Campylobacter jejuni NCTC 11168 were grown in 50 ml volumes of Brucella broth in 70cm tissue culture flasks.
