Project description:High density yeast tiling array reveals new introns and extensive meiotic splicing regulation. Knowing gene structure is vital to understanding gene function, and accurate genome annotation is essential for understanding cellular function. To this end, we have developed an assay for genome-wide mapping of introns in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Using high-density tiling arrays we compared wild type yeast to a mutant deficient for intron degradation. Our method identified 76% of the known introns, verified the existence of an additional 18 predicted introns, and revealed six new introns. Furthermore, we discovered that all 13 meiosis-specific intronic yeast genes undergo regulated splicing, which provides post-transcriptional regulation of the genes involved in yeast cell differentiation. Moreover, we found that >10% of intronic genes in yeast are incompletely spliced during exponential growth in rich media, suggesting that meiosis is not the only cellular function regulated by splicing. The method provides a clear snapshot of the spliced transcriptome in yeast. Our tiling array assay can be used to explore a variety of cellular environments and should be readily adaptable to the study of other organisms including humans.

Project description:We used trimethylpsoralen intercalation to map supercoiling across the E. coli chromosome. We treated E. coli cells with trimethylpsoralen and exposed them to UV light. Psoralen enters cells, intercalates between DNA base pairs, and crosslinks the two strands of DNA at a rate proportional to the local superhelical density. We then fragmented DNA and hybridized crosslinked and non-crosslinked DNA fragments separately to tiling microarrays. In total 14 samples; 6 for wild-type in stationary phase (3 replicates x 2 samples as there are crosslinked and non-crosslinked samples for each replicate); 4 for wild-type in mid-exponential phase (2 replicates x 2 samples); 4 for the delta hupAB mutant in stationary phase (2 replicates x 2 samples)

Project description:Chassis strain suitable for producing multiple compounds is a central concept in synthetic biology. Design of a chassis using computational, first-principle, models is particularly attractive due to the predictability and control it offers, including against phenotype reversal due to adaptive mutations. Yet, the theory of model-based chassis design has not been put to experimental test. Here, we report two Saccharomyces cerevisiae chassis strains for dicarboxylic acid production based on genome-scale metabolic modelling. The chassis strain, harboring gene knockouts in serine biosynthesis and in pentose-phosphate pathway, is geared for higher flux towards three target products - succinate, fumarate and malate - but does not appreciably secrete any. Introducing modular product-specific mutations resulted in improved secretion of the corresponding acid as predicted by the model. Adaptive laboratory evolution of the chassis-derived producer cells further improved production for succinate and fumarate attesting to the evolutionary robustness of the underlying growth-product coupling. In the case of malate, which exhibited decreased production during evolution, the multi-omics analysis revealed flux bypass at peroxisomal malate dehydrogenase not accounted in the model. Transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics analysis showed overall concordance with the flux re-routing predicted by the model. Together, our results provide experimental evidence for model-based design of microbial chassis and have implications for computer-aided design of microbial cell factories.

Project description:Whole-genome tiling arrays were used to validate deletions and tandem duplications that were inferred based on next-generation sequencing data. The arrays were generated for six samples of the Drosophila melanogaster Genetic Reference Panel (DGRP) as well as the Berkeley reference strain. Structural variations (SVs) were assessed by comparing probe intensities within the region of interest between the sample for which the SV was predicted and the reference strain.

Project description:To test the effects of hypoxia on transcription in Caulobacter crescentus, we cultured cells in a New Brunswick bioreactor under controlled conditions. Prior to innoculation, the medium was bubbled with laboratory air at maximum flow and stirred at 300 rpm for 2 hours. After this period, the medium was considered saturated with air and the oxygen probe was set to 100%. Untreated cultures were grown in air-saturated complex medium at 30 degrees C to OD660=0.5 at pH=7 (continuous air-bubbling; 300 rpm stirring). At cell harvest in aerated culture, the dissolved oxygen probe remained above 98%. To subject cells to hypoxia, culture at OD660=0.5, pH=7 was sparged continuously with nitrogen gas; the dissolved oxygen level as measured by the gas probe dropped from 100% to 0% over the course of 5 minutes under this condition. Hypoxic cultures were continually stirred and bubbled with nitrogen for another 20 minutes after the dissolved gas probe read 0%. Hypoxic cells were then harvested for RNA isolation. Four independent biological samples are included in this study. Two batches of cells were subjected to 20 minutes of hypoxia in a bioreactor; two cell batches were highly aerated.

Project description:Analysis of the response to arginine of the Escherichia coli K-12 transcriptome by microarray hybridization and real-time quantitative PCR provides a first coherent quantitative picture of the ArgR-mediated repression of arginine biosynthesis and uptake genes. Transcriptional repression was shown to be the major control mechanism of the biosynthetic genes, leaving only limited room for additional transcriptional or post-transcriptional regulations. The art genes coding for the specific arginine uptake system are subject to ArgR-mediated repression, ; with a strong repression of artJ, coding for the periplasmic binding protein of the system. The hisJQMP genes of the histidine transporter (part of the LAO uptake system) were discovered to be a part of the arginine regulon. Analysis of their control region with reporter gene fusions and electrophoretic mobility shift in the presence of pure ArgR repressor showed the involvement in repression of the ArgR protein and of an ARG box 120 bp upstream of hisJ. No repression of the genes of the AO uptake system was observed. Finally, comparing the time course of arginine repression of gene transcription with the evolution of the specific ; activities of the cognate enzymes showed that while full genetic repression was achieved two minutes after arginine addition, enzyme concentrations were diluted at the rate of cell ; division. This emphasizes the importance of the feedback-inhibition of the first enzymatic ; step of the pathway in controlling the metabolic flow through the biosynthesis in the period following the onset of repression. Experiment Overall Design: 3 groups of 3 replicate samples were analyzed: Experiment Overall Design: (1) Wild type on minimal medium (strain P4X, slides 1753, 1765, 1989), this created a reference condition Experiment Overall Design: (2) Wild type grown in the presence of arginine (strain P4X plus 100µg/ml of arginine, slides 1754, 1766, 1990), this gave a list of all the genes repressed by the system: ArgR+arginine Experiment Overall Design: (3) Mutant where no active repressor is present; grown in the presence of arginine (strain P4XB2 (argR-) plus 100µg/ml arginine, slides 1992, 1993, 1994). This condition told us which genes are indeed regulated by the system: ArgR+arginine. Those genes are in this case derepressed.

Project description:To understand the altered gene expression by D-galactose in galT cells, the cells were grown in the presence and absence of D-galactose and tiling array analysis was performed for transcriptome profiling. A galT defect causes the disease Galactosemia in human. This work helps us to study the human metabolic disease Galactosemia. Total RNAs were isolated from Escherichia coli galT strain grown in the absence and presence of D-galactose. The transcriptome profile of galT cells was figured out in the galactose-stressed condition.

Project description:Aurora kinase A (AURKA) is a well-established target in neuroblastoma (NB) due to both its catalytic functions during mitosis and its kinase-independent functions, including stabilization of the key oncoprotein MYCN. We present a structure-activity relationship (SAR) study of MK-5108-derived PROTACs against AURKA by exploring different linker lengths and exit vectors on the thalidomide moiety. PROTAC SK2188 induces the most potent AURKA degradation (DC50,24h 3.9 nM, Dmax,24h 89%) and shows an excellent binding and degradation selectivity profile. Treatment of NGP neuroblastoma cells with SK2188 induced concomitant MYCN degradation, high replication stress/DNA damage levels and apoptosis. Moreover, SK2188 significantly outperforms the parent inhibitor MK-5108 in a cell proliferation screen and patient-derived organoids. Furthermore, altering the attachment point of the PEG linker to the 5-position of thalidomide allowed us to identify a potent AURKA degrader with a linker as short as 2 PEG units. With this, our SAR-study provides interesting lead structures for further optimization and validation of AURKA degradation as a potential therapeutic strategy in neuroblastoma.

Project description:Metabolic syndrome is a growing concern in developed societies and due to its polygenic nature, the genetic component is only slowly being elucidated. Common mitochondrial DNA sequence variants have been associated with symptoms of metabolic syndrome and may therefore be relevant players in the genetics of metabolic syndrome. We investigate the effect of mitochondrial sequence variation on the metabolic phenotype in conplastic rat strains with identical nuclear but unique mitochondrial genomes, challenged by high-fat diet. We find that the variation in mitochondrial rRNA sequence represents risk factor in the insulin resistance development, which is caused by diacylglycerols accumulation induced by tissue-specific reduction of the oxidative capacity. These metabolic perturbations stem from the 12S rRNA sequence variation affecting mitochondrial ribosome assembly and translation. Our work demonstrates that physiological variation in mitochondrial rRNA might represent a relevant underlying factor in the progression of metabolic syndrome.
