Translation State Array Assay for C elegans IFE-1-dependent mRNAs

ABSTRACT: Relative polysomal loading changes for wild type (N2) versus ife-1(bn127) C. elegans strains Strain ife-1(bn127) is null for the gene encoding one of five eIF4E isoforms in the worm, IFE-1. Only this isoform associates with P granules. Resolution of translating and non-translating mRNAs from WT and mutant worms on 10-45% sucrose gradients. Comparision was by ratios of polysomal content. Please note that each sample data table contains raw signal directly imported from the Affymetrix files and the ratio of signals, P/(NP+P), and fold-changes were further calculated. The TSAA_overview.xls contains more datails about the TSAA procedure and 'complete_data.xlsx' contains complete TSAA data output.

Regulated mRNA translation is vital for germ cells to produce new proteins in the spatial and temporal patterns that drive gamete development. Translational control involves the de-repression of stored mRNAs and their recruitment by eukaryotic initiation factors (eIFs) to ribosomes. C. elegans expresses five eIF4Es (IFE-1-IFE-5); several have been shown to selectively recruit unique pools of mRNA. Individual IFE knockouts yield unique phenotypes due to inefficient translation of certain mRNAs. H ...[more]

Project description:The common research strain S. aureus NCTC 8325-4 was subjected to serial passage in increasing concentrations of ramoplanin. The resulting strain, RSPA16, had reduced susceptibility to not only ramoplanin but vancomycin and nisin as well. Electron microscopy revealed that the cell wall of RSPA16 was double the thickness of the susceptible progenitor strain, a phenotype commonly observed in vancomycin intermediate resistant S. aureus (VISA) strains. RSPA16 was also less susceptible to lysis induced by Triton X-100 than its progenitor strain. Transcriptional profiling experiments were performed with NCTC 8325-4 and RSPA16 without antibiotic exposure and exposed to ramoplanin. Increased expression of genes associated with cell wall stress was observed when either strain was treated with ramoplanin. We also observed that treatment with ramoplanin altered of the expression levels of numerous genes encoding proteins involved with amino acid biosynthesis, central metabolic pathways, nucleotide biosynthesis, iron acquisition, ABC transporters and regulation of transcription. Comparison of the transcriptional profiles of RSPA16 and NCTC 8325-4 not exposed to ramoplanin revealed alterations in the expression of levels of several genes involved with biosynthesis of teichoic acids, biosynthesis of peptidoglycan, central metabolism, DNA replication, nucleotide biosynthesis, iron acquisition, ABC transporters, and regulation of transcription. These transcriptional profiles provide insights into the possible sources of the reduced susceptibility of RSPA16 to peptide antibiotics. Mid log phase (OD620 = 0.4) batch TSB cultures of ramoplanin susceptible (NCTC 8325-4) and resistant (RSPA16) strains of S. aureus were exposed to ramoplanin for 30 minutes at 37 C. Untreated controls were performed for each strain as well. The transcriptional response was determined using Affymetrix Gene Chip Arrays. This study also examines the transcriptional alterations which confer reduced susceptibility to ramoplanin as the transcriptional profiles of NCTC 8325-4 and RSPA16 each untreated were compared.

Project description:In this study we have tried to utilize the unique aspects of the T. ruralis response to desiccation and rehydration to design a strategy to identify rehydrins that are of low abundance and perhaps completely novel to the desiccated or rehydration transcriptomes. We have constructed two Subtractive Suppression Hybridization (SSH) libraries (Diatchenko et al., 1996) that are designed to enrich for differentially expressed low-abundance transcripts contained within gametophytic cells either in the slow-dried state (mRNP sequestrated rehydrin transcripts) or cells that have been rapidly dried, rehydrated and sampled at 2h of hydration (rehydrin and recovery transcripts) when the translational change in gene expression is at its peak (Oliver 1991). To achieve this aim we constructed SSH libraries using PolyA RNA isolated from the polysomal (mRNP) fractions from the slow-dried and 2h rehydrated rapid dried gametophytes selected against PolyA RNA from hydrated control gametophytes as the source for driver cDNA. Collections of cDNA clones from each library were sequenced and used to generate a small T. ruralis SSH cDNA microarray for expression profiling of both total RNA extracts for transcript accumulation assessments and polysomal RNA extracts for transcript sequestration and recruitment assessments. To assess the expression characteristics of the transcripts represented by the SSH contigs we established a cDNA microarray containing the inserts (PCR derived fragment) from each of the 768 individual SSH ESTs, with the exception of thirteen that failed to generate a PCR fragment. Twelve of the missing thirteen SSH EST cDNAs were replaced with PCR fragments from previously isolated T. ruralis cDNAs four of which, representing the ribosomal proteins S14, S16, L23 and L15 (Wood et al., 2000, Zeng and Wood 2000), were previously reported to be constitutively expressed and were added to serve as normalization genes. The remaining eight clones, Tr155, Tr217, Tr403, Tr416, Tr421 (described by Scott and Oliver, 1994), and TrCDPK (U82087) were added as either positive â??up-regulatedâ?? (Tr155, Tr403, Tr421), negative â??down-regulated (Tr217, Tr416), or neutral (TrCDPK) controls based on previous northern analyses. The cDNAs were printed from two 384 well plates in 12 blocks (two columns of 6) of 24 x 8 spots such that each SSH EST and controls were represented in triplicate. Each of the triplicate cDNAs was separated within the blocks to eliminate possible spatial hybridization bias. All hybridizations were duplicated as dye swaps with two separate RNA preparations, from large populations of individual gametophytes (isolated from a minimum of three separate clumps), serving as the source for the sscDNA Cy3 and Cy5 labeled probes. The RNA preparations for the Total polyA RNA were by necessity separate samples from those used to isolate Polysomal poly A RNA.
