The Streptococcus agalactiae transcriptional landscape

ABSTRACT: Streptococcus agalactiae, also known as Group B streptococcus, emerged in the 1960s as a leading cause of septicemia and meningitis in neonates. It is also an increasing cause of infections in adults with underlying diseases. To characterize regulatory elements in this species we performed a genome-wide transcription start site (TSS) profiling and whole-transcript sequencing. TSS were identified by using a differential RNA-seq strategy, based on selective Tobacco Acid Pyrophosphatase (TAP) treatment and adapter ligation, which differentiates primary transcripts and processed RNAs. The accuracy and sensitivity of TSS identification were increased by combining differential RNA-seq analyses under eight conditions corresponding to variations in growth conditions and genetic backgrounds. Whole-transcript sequencing used a two-step adaptor ligation-based directional RNA-seq protocol and was performed under two experimental conditions with triplicate experiments to assess variations in gene expression in response to an acid stress

Identification of cell cycle dependent interaction partners of the septins by quantitative mass spectrometry

Project description:The septins are a conserved family of GTP-binding proteins that, in the baker's yeast, assemble into a highly ordered array of filaments at the mother bud neck. These filaments undergo dramatic structural rearrangements during the cell cycle which are mechanistically not yet understood. We aimed at identifying key components that are involved in the transitions of the septins. Combining cell synchronization and quantitative affinity-purification mass-spectrometry (AP-MS), we identified interaction partners of the septins at three distinct stages of the cell cycle. A total of 83 interaction partners of the septins were assigned. We detected DNA-interacting/nuclear proteins and proteins involved in ribosome biogenesis and protein synthesis predominantly present in G1 arrested cells without an assembled septin structure. In addition, two distinct sets of regulatory proteins that are specific for cells at S-phase with a stable septin collar or at mitosis with split septin rings were identified. Complementary methods such as the SPLIFF method allowed us to more exactly define the spatial and temporal characteristics of selected candidate proteins of the AP-MS screen.

Genome-wide mapping of cytosine methylation revealed dynamic DNA methylation patterns associated with rice centromeres

Project description:Specification and propagation of the centromeres of eukaryotic chromosomes is determined by epigenetic mechanisms. Unfortunately, the epigenetic characteristics of centromeric DNA and chromatin are difficult to define because the centromeres are composed of highly repetitive DNA sequences in most eukaryotic species. Several rice centromeres have been fully sequenced, making rice an excellent model for centromere research. We conducted genome-wide mapping of cytosine methylation using methylcytosine immunoprecipitation combined with Illumina sequencing. The DNA sequences in the core domains of rice Cen4, Cen5, and Cen8 showed elevated methylation levels compared to the sequences in the pericentromeric regions. In addition, elevated methylation levels were associated with the DNA sequences in the CENH3-binding subdomains compared to the sequences in the flanking H3 subdomains. In contrast, the centromeric domain of Cen11, which is composed exclusively of centromeric satellite DNA, is hypomethylated compared to the pericentromeric domains. Thus, the DNA sequences associated with functional centromeres can be either hypomethylated or hypermethylated. The methylation patterns of centromeric DNA appear to be correlated with the composition of the associated DNA sequences. We propose that both hypomethylation and hypermethylation of CENH3-associated DNA sequences can serve as epigenetic marks to distinguish where CENH3 deposition will occur within the surrounding H3 chromatin. mCIP-seq of one sample of rice seedling

TRRAP-mediated regulation of Wee1

Project description:The G2 DNA damage checkpoint inhibits Cdc2 and mitotic entry through the dual regulation of Wee1 and Cdc25 by the Chk1 effector kinase. Up-regulation of Chk1 by mutation or overexpression bypasses the requirement for up-stream regulators or DNA damage to promote a G2 cell cycle arrest. We screened in fission yeast for mutations that rendered cells resistant to overexpressed Chk1. We identified a mutation in tra1, which encodes one of two homologs of TRRAP, an ATM/R-related pseudokinase that scaffolds several histone acetyltransferase (HAT) complexes. Inhibition of histone deacetylases reverts the resistance to overexpressed Chk1, suggesting this phenotype is due to a HAT activity, though expression of checkpoint and cell cycle genes is not greatly affected. Cells with mutant or deleted tra1 activate Chk1 normally and are checkpoint proficient. However, these cells are semi-wee even when overexpressing Chk1, and accumulate inactive Wee1 protein. The Cdr (changed division response) kinases Cdr1 and Cdr2 are negative regulators of Wee1, and while best characterized in the cellular response to limited nutrition, we show that they are required for the Tra1-dependent alterations to Wee1 function. This identifies Tra1 as another component controlling the timing of entry into mitosis via Cdc2 activation. Two and three independent microaaray experiments were done for wild type and the mutant (tra1-1) respectively.

Transcription profiling by array of mouse BALBc strain mesenteric lymph nodes after response to common allergens.

Project description:In this study, MLN transcriptome profiling of female BALB/c mice was conducted in order to explore the molecular mechanism(s) of antigen sensitization using three of the most common food allergens; BLG, OVA and PNA. Analysis of cDNA microarray data revealed a complex network of genes that is modulated during BLG, OVA or PNA sensitization. Results from this study implicate the role of differentially expressed genes in the pathogenesis of food allergy. Results from this study will also help better understanding the molecular mechanism of food allergy in animal models and may help in developing new drug target for the therapy of food allergy. This study is likely to add a new dimension in the development of biomarker genes for the determination of potential allergenicity of genetically modified (GM) foods.

CDK-4 inhibitor P276-00 sensitizes Pancreatic Cancer cells to Gemcitabine induced Apoptosis

Project description:Despite advances in molecular pathogenesis, pancreatic cancer remains a major unsolved health problem. It is a rapidly invasive, metastatic tumor that is resistant to standard therapies. The phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathways are frequently dysregulated in pancreatic cancer. Gemcitabine (Gem) is the mainstay treatment for metastatic pancreatic cancer. P276 is a novel CDK inhibitor that induces G2/M arrest and inhibits tumor growth in vivo models. Here, we determined that P276 sensitizes pancreatic cancer cells to Gem induced apoptosis, a mechanism mediated through inhibition of Akt-mTOR signaling. In vitro, the combination of P276 and Gem resulted in a dose- and time-dependent inhibition of proliferation and colony formation of pancreatic cancer cells but not with normal pancreatic ductal cells. This combination also induced apoptosis, as seen by activated caspase 3 and increased Bax/Bcl2 ratio. Gene profiling studies demonstrated that this combination down regulated Akt-mTOR signaling pathway, which was confirmed by western blot analyses. There was also a down regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and interleukin-8 expression suggesting effects on angiogenesis pathway. In vivo, intraperitoneal administration of the P276-Gem combination significantly suppressed the growth of pancreatic cancer tumor xenografts. There was a reduction in CD31 positive blood vessels, and reduced VEGF expression, again suggesting an effect on angiogenesis. Taken together, these data suggest that P276-Gem combination is a novel potent therapeutic agent that can target the Akt-mTOR signaling pathway to inhibit both tumor growth and angiogenesis.

Novel anti-inflammatory activity of chlorojanerin isolated from Sausurrea heteromalla (D. Don) Hand.-Mazz.

Project description:Medicinal plants have shown great promise as a source of novel drug compounds for the treatment of inflammatory disorders. In our search for new entities with anti-inflammatory potential, the extracts of the whole plant of Saussurea heteromalla (family-Asteraceae), collected from Himalayas, were evaluated in the high throughput screen for TNF-α and IL-6 inhibitors. The plant has been found as a new source of chlorojanerin, a guaianolide type of sesquiterpene lactone. This is the first report on the potent anti-inflammatory activity of the compound. Chlorojanerin was shown to be significantly effective in inhibiting TNF-α and IL-6 production in LPS induced THP-1 cells (TNF-α, IC50 = 3µM and IL-6, IC50 = 0.8µM). The compound also blocked TNF-α and IL-6 production from LPS induced human monocytes and synovial cells from RA patients. Chlorojanerin also inhibited the binding of NF-κB in a GFP reporter assay system. Transcriptional profiling of the LPS stimulated THP-1 cells revealed that chlorojanerin exerted its anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting the expression of genes involved in activating the transcription factor – NF-κB. Real time analysis of these genes validated the effect of chlorojanerin on the classical downstream targets of NF-κB. Thus, this study clearly delineated 8 targets specific for the effect of chlorojanerin on NF-κB induced signaling at the mRNA level. This work is a step towards the isolation and characterization of lead anti-inflammatory agents from the extract of Saussurea heteromalla, which can be developed into better therapeutic molecules targeted towards some specific inflammatory diseases. Single dye labelling with Cy3 for all treatment RNA samples. Treatments included unstimulated, LPS stimulated, Chlorjanerin treatment and dexamethasone treatment.
