MatA S. cerevisiae cells exposed to Iztli peptide 1 for 3.5, 7, 15 and 30 minutes

ABSTRACT: Transcriptional profiling of MatA yeast cells exposed to a cationic antimicrobial peptide (Iztli peptide 1) for 3.5, 7, 15 and 30 min is compared with MatA yeast cells without the peptide Two-condition experiment, MatA cells with peptide (P) and without it (C). Biological samples: 4 control, 4 treatment, independently grown and harvested. Two replicates per array. Please note that [1] there is one raw data file per two replicates, as indicated in the sample description field [2] the Columns 10 and 11 (in the raw data file), labeled as Raw intensity (mean) T1C and Raw intensity (mean) T1P, correspond to the raw intensities for each spot. T1C correspond to control and T1P correspond to treatment with a peptide named Iztli Peptide 1 [3] The replicates can be located by sorting the column standard_name. Each row corresponds to a different gene, two rows for each gene, the first row corresponds to the replicate 1 and the second to the replicate 2.

Project description:Changes in gene regulation rapidly accumulate between species and may contribute to reproductive isolation through misexpression of genes in interspecific hybrids. Hybrid misexpression, defined by expression levels outside the range of both parental species, is thought to be a result of cis- and trans-acting regulatory changes that interact in the hybrid, or arise from changes in the relative abundance of various tissues or cell types due to defects in developmental. Here, we show that misexpressed genes in a sterile interspecific Saccharomyces yeast hybrid result from a heterochronic shift in the timing of the normal meiotic gene expression program. By tracking nuclear divisions, we find that S. cerevisiae initiates meiosis earlier than its closest known relative, S. paradoxus, yet both species complete meiosis at the same time. Although the hybrid up- and down-regulates genes in a similar manner to both parents, the hybrid meiotic program occurs earlier than both parents. The timing shift results in a heterochronic pattern of misexpression throughout meiosis I and the beginning of meiosis II. Coincident with the timing of misexpression, we find an increase in the relative abundance of opposing cis and trans-acting changes and compensatory changes, as well as a transition from predominantly trans-acting to cis-acting expression divergence over the course of meiosis. However, misexpression does not appear to be a direct consequence of cis- and trans-acting regulatory divergence. Our results demonstrate that hybrid misexpression in yeast results from a heterochronic shift in the meiotic gene expression program. We analyzed three biological replicates of the parental yeast strains, S. cerevisiae and S. paradoxus, and four replicates of their hybrid over four developmental time points. Two hybrid replicates contain MATa from S. cerevisiae and MATalpha from S. paradoxus. The other two hybrid replicates are reciprocal crosses. The developmental time points are T0, which serves as a control, and is the moment cells enter sporulation media. M1 is the beginning of meiosis I. M1/M2 is the overlap of the end of meiosis I and the beginning of meiosis II. M2 is the end of meiosis II.

Project description:To investigate transcriptome dynamics during the transition from vegetative growth to meiosis, we measured RNA abundance in vegetative cells (YPD), respiratory cells (pre-meiotic/YPA 8 hours), and in cells undergoing synchronous meiosis/sporulation in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. There is growing recognition that the binding of a transcription factor near a gene does not always indicate regulatory function, and further that a single factor may function to either activate or repress its targets depending on the cellular context. We examined these issues through a series of experiments involving the S. cerevisiae transcription factor Rap1, and its function throughout critical metabolic and developmental transitions between vegetative growth, respiratory growth, meiosis and sporulation. We simultaneously monitored the expression of all genes and the genomic binding locations of Rap1 throughout the timecourse. Genes downstream of Rap1 binding were activated and repressed dynamically, but a change - or lack of change - in Rap1 binding status was not predictive of activation, repression, or no change in regulation. Despite this, we show that Rap1 is required, at a given point in time, for both activation and repression of different gene targets, within the same cell. Specification of the transcriptional consequences of Rap1 binding is thus highly promoter-specific. The presence of other transcription factor binding motifs, the subtype of Rap1 motif, and the underlying chromatin structure of the promoter cannot fully account for the observed transcriptional outcomes. There is a better accounting for the dynamic binding behavior of Rap1 including specification of an expanded meiotic target set through a Tup1- dependent nucleosome-loss mechanism. The variable and dynamic association between binding and transcription in this simple unicellular system portends a similarly volatile relationship in more complex eukaryotes. Biological interpretations of transcription factor occupancy should be made cautiously and in conjunction with supporting data obtained under the precise condition of interest. SK1 yeast strain SHy002 (MATa/MATÎ± ho::LYS2/ho::LYS2 leu2::hisG/leu2::hisG lys2/lys2 ura3/ura3). Meiosis timecourse with samples collected during vegetative growth (YPD), respiratory growth (pre-meiotic/YPA 8 hours) and 0 hr, 1.5hr, 3hr, 4.5hr, 6hr, 9hr and 12hr after transfer to sporulation media (SM). 7 separate biological replicates were used for each condition/time-point. Labeled total RNA from each sample and a labeled genomic DNA common reference were competitively hybridized to yeast whole genome PCR based spotted arrays (resolution ~1kb). The Rap1 ChIP, RNA abundance/expression analysis, and FAIRE analysis were all carried out on the same biological samples.

Project description:Saxitoxin is a potent neurotoxin produced by several species of dinoflagellates and cyanobacteria. The molecular target of saxitoxin in higher eukaryotes is the voltage-gated sodium channel; however, its target in lower eukaryotic organisms remains unknown. The goal of this study was to obtain the transcriptional fingerprint of the model lower eukaryote Saccharomyces cerevisiae upon exposure to saxitoxin to identify potential genes suitable for biomarker development. Microarray analyses identified multiple genes associated with copper and iron homeostasis and sulfur metabolism as significantly differentially expressed upon exposure to saxitoxin; these results were verified with quantitative reverse-transcriptase PCR (qRT-PCR). Additionally, the qRT-PCR assays were used to generate expression profiles in a subset of the differentially regulated genes across multiple exposure times and concentrations, the results of which demonstrated that overall, genes tended to respond in a consistent manner to the toxin. In general, the genes encoding the metallothioneins CUP1 and CRS5 were induced following exposure to saxitoxin, while those encoding the ferric/cupric reductase FRE1 and the copper uptake transporter CTR1 were repressed. The gene encoding the multicopper ferroxidase FET3, part of the high-affinity iron uptake system, was also induced in all treatments, along with the STR3 gene, which codes for the cystathionine beta-lyase found in the methionine biosynthetic pathway. Experiment Overall Design: Cultures of S. cerevisiae S288C were grown to OD600=1.0 in YPD (1% yeast extract, 2% peptone, 2% dextrose). Four hundred microliters from individual 10 mL overnight cultures were transferred to sterile tubes and saxitoxin added to a final concentration of 16 ÂµM. Sample were mixed gently and incubated at 30Â° C for 45 min. Controls consisted of deionized water. Three biological replicates were performed under these conditions for microarray analysis. Cells were harvested via sequential centrifugation and placed immediately in liquid nitrogen.Total RNA was extracted from frozen cell pellets using a protocol that combined the hot acid phenol method with the RNEasy kit. Total RNA was processed by the Affymetrix Core Facility at the University of Tennessee (Knoxville, TN) following the protocols of the Affymetrix GeneChip Expression Analysis Technical Manual. MAS5.0 was used to provide present/absent calls; genes absent in all six samples were then removed from the data set. Intensity values for all transcripts were obtained from the scanned image files of the chips. The intensity values of the six arrays were background-corrected and normalized with the GC-RMA algorithm.

Project description:The mechanism of action of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) was initially correlated with peptide membrane permeation properties. However, recent evidences indicate that action of a number of AMPs is more complex and involves specific interactions at cell envelopes or with intracellular targets. In this study, a genomic approach was undertaken on the model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to characterize the antifungal effect of two unrelated AMPs. Two differentiated peptides were used: the synthetic cell-penetrating PAF26 and the natural cytolytic melittin. Transcriptomic analyses demonstrated distinctive gene expression changes for each peptide. Quantitative RT-PCR confirmed differential expression of selected genes. Gene onthology (GO) annotation of differential gene lists showed that the unique significant terms shared by treatment with both peptides were related to the cell wall (CW). Assays with mutants lacking CW related genes, including those of MAPK signaling pathways, revealed genes having influence on sensitivity to peptides. Fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry demonstrated PAF26 interaction with cells and internalization that correlated with cell killing in sensitive CW-defective mutants such as ∆ecm33 or ∆ssd1. GO annotation also showed differential responses between peptides, which included ribosomal biogenesis, ARG genes from the metabolism of amino groups (specifically induced by PAF26), or the reaction to unfolded protein stress. Susceptibility of deletion mutants confirmed the involvement of these processes. Specifically, mutants lacking ARG genes from the metabolism of arginine pathway were markedly more resistant to PAF26 and had a functional CW. In the deletant in the arginosuccinate synthetase (ARG1) gene, PAF26 interaction occurred normally, thus uncoupling peptide interaction from cell killing. The previously described involvement of the glycosphingolipid gene IPT1 was extended to the peptides studied here. Reinforcement of CW is a general response common after exposure to distinct AMPs, and likely contributes to shield cells from peptide interaction. However, a weakened CW is not necessarily indicative of a higher sensitivity to AMPs. Additional processes modulate susceptibility to specific peptides, exemplified in the involvement of the metabolism of amino groups in the case of PAF26. The relevance of the response to unfolded protein stress or the sphingolipid biosynthesis, previously reported for other unrelated AMPs, was also independently confirmed. We carried out the characterization of the transcriptome of S. cerevisiae after exposure to PAF26 and melittin peptides. The global transcriptome response to peptides was undertaken by treating S. cerevisiae FY1679 cells in the logarithmic growth phase to sub-lethal concentrations (5 µM) of either PAF26 (PAF samples) or melittin (MEL samples) for 3 hours. Control treatment (CTR samples) consisted in cells exposed to buffer in the absence of peptide. Three biological replicates were conducted for each treatment. DNA macroarrays representing 6,020 yeast genes were hybridized with labelled cDNAs from cells.
