Temperature dependent RNA secondary structure in Trypanosoma brucei

ABSTRACT: Trypanosomes are a globally important group of parasites which together kill and debilitate millions of people world-wide. In trypanosomes, genes do not have individual promoters, rather ~10000 genes share ~200 promoters and all gene expression is thus regulated post-transcriptionally. While effector proteins which modulate the expression of many genes have been described, the mechanisms by which trypanosomes sense changes in their environment and manifest changes in gene expression remain elusive. This study demonstrates that trypanosomes sense changes in their environment through temperature sensitive RNA secondary structure. We show that the majority of observed mRNA abundance changes which distinguish insect adapted and bloodstream adapted life cycle stages can be explained through change in temperature alone.

Arabidopsis membrane protein phosphoproteomics in early cold response

Project description:Cold stress is one of the major limiting factors for global crop production. For survival at low temperature, plants need to sense the temperature changes in the surrounding environment. How plants sense and respond to the earliest drop in temperature is still not clearly understood. The plasma membrane and its adjacent extracellular and cytoplasmic sites are the first checkpoints for sensing temperature changes and subsequent events such as signal generation and solute transport. To understand how plants respond to early cold exposure, cold responsive phosphoproteins should be understood. Phosphoproteomic analysis was carried out by using following process. Microsomal membrane fraction was extracted from cold exposed leaves. Trypsin digestion and phosphopeptide enrichment by HAMMOC method were performed, then purified peptide sample was analyzed by TripleTOF5600 (AB-SCIEX).

Arabidopsis early cold response phosphoproteomics

Project description:Cold stress is one of the major limiting factors for global crop production. For survival at low temperature, plants need to sense the temperature changes in the surrounding environment. How plants sense and respond to the earliest drop in temperature is still not clearly understood. The plasma membrane and its adjacent extracellular and cytoplasmic sites are the first checkpoints for sensing temperature changes and subsequent events such as signal generation and solute transport. To understand how plants respond to early cold exposure, we have used a mass spectrometry-based phosphoproteomic method to study temporal changes in protein phosphorylation events in Arabidopsis membranes during 5 to 60 min of cold exposure. Phosphoproteomic analysis was carried out by using the following process. Arabidopsis membrane fraction was extracted from leaves. Trypsin digestion and phosphopeptide enrichment by HAMMOC method were performed, then purified peptide sample was analyzed by TripleTOF5600 (AB-SCIEX).

Transcriptional rearrangements associated with thermal stress and preadaptation in Baikal whitefish (Coregonus baicalensis)

Project description:In this work, we describe the transcriptional profiles of adapted and non-adapted one-month-old Baikal whitefish juveniles after heat shock exposure. Preadapted fish were exposed to a repeated thermal rise of 6 °C above control temperature every 3 days throughout embryonic development. One month after hatching, preadapted and non-adapted larvae were either maintained at control temperatures (12 °C) or exposed to an acute thermal stress (TS) of 12 °C above control temperature. The information on transcriptional profiles will contribute to further understanding of the mechanisms of adaptation of whitefish to the environment.

pH taxis in African trypanosomes

Project description:The collective movement of African trypanosomes on semi-solid surfaces, known as social motility, is presumed to be due to migration factors and repellents released by the parasites. Here we show that procyclic (insect midgut) forms acidify their environment as a consequence of glucose metabolism, generating pH gradients by diffusion. Early and late procyclic forms exhibit self-organising properties on agarose plates. While early procyclic forms are repelled by acid and migrate outwards, late procyclic forms remain at the inoculation site. Furthermore, trypanosomes respond to exogenously formed pH gradients, with both early and late procyclic forms being attracted to alkali. pH taxis is mediated by multiple cyclic AMP effectors: deletion of one copy of adenylate cyclase ACP5, or both copies of the cyclic AMP response protein CARP3, abrogates the response to acid, while deletion of phosphodiesterase PDEB1 completely abolishes pH taxis. The ability to sense pH is biologically relevant as trypanosomes experience large changes as they migrate through their tsetse host. Supporting this, a CARP3 null mutant is severely compromised in its ability to establish infections in flies. Based on these findings, we propose that the expanded family of adenylate cyclases in trypanosomes might govern other chemotactic responses in their two hosts.

Expression data from Arabidopsis seedlings heat-stressed in dark environment

Project description:Plants transcriptome react to environment temperature changes profoundly. In Arabidopsis seedlings, genes respond to temperature fluctuations to adopt the ever-changing ambient environment. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying heat stress response progress in Arabidopsis.

Transcriptome of Arabidopsis APS kinase null mutants

Project description:The aim of the experiment is to look at transcriptional changes in null mutants of APS kinase. There are four APS kinase isoforms in Arabidopsis, we are interested in the double mutant APK1/APK2, created by crossing two single salk lines. The transcriptomes of WT (Col-0) plants and the double knockout (ab) will be compared. The plants were grown under controlled environment conditions of 10h day, 14h night, 22 degrees centigrade, 60% humidity for five weeks. 10 whole rosettes were pooled for each replicate, there are three replicates for each genotype. Keywords: Expression profiling by array 6 samples were used in this experiment

Transcriptome profiling and expression analyses of genes critical to wheat adaptation to low temperature

Project description:Understanding the mechanism of low temperature (LT) adaptation is crucial to the development of cold-tolerant crops. To identify the genes involved in the development of LT tolerance in the crown of hexaploid wheat we examined the global changes in genes expression during cold-treatment using the Affymetrix Wheat Genome Chip. Time-series experiment with 4 genotypes x 8 time-points X 3 biological replicates in random block design; 96 hybridizations

Microarray Transcriptome Comparison Subzero Temperature and Optimal Temperature Growth in Psychrobacter arcticus 273-4

Project description:Permafrost soils are extreme environments that exert low-temperature, desiccation and starvation stress on bacteria over thousands to millions of years. To understand how Psychrobacter arcticus 273-4 survived for > 20,000 years in permafrost, transcriptome analysis was performed during growth at 22°C, 17°C, 0°C, and -6°C using a mixed effects ANOVA model. Genes for transcription, translation, energy production and most biosynthetic pathways were down-regulated at low temperatures. Evidence of isozyme exchange was detected over temperature for D-alanyl-D-alanine carboxypeptidases (dac1 and dac2), DEAD-box RNA helicases (csdA and Psyc_0943) and energy efficient substrate incorporation pathways for ammonium and acetate. Specific functions were compensated by up-regulation at low temperature including genes for the biosynthesis of proline, tryptophan, methionine, and histidine. RNases and peptidases were generally up-regulated at low temperatures. Changes in energy metabolism, amino acid metabolism, and RNase gene expression were consistent with induction of the stringent response by relA activity. In contrast to results observed in other psychrophiles and mesophiles, only clpB and hsp33 were up-regulated at low temperature with no up-regulation of other chaperones and peptidyl-prolyl isomerases. Knockout mutants of relA, csdA, and dac2 were all deficient in low temperature growth, but a mutant in dac1 was deficient in growth at 17°C. The combined data suggest that the basal biological machinery including translation, transcription and energy metabolism are well adapted to function across the -6°C to 22°C growth range of P. arcticus and temperature compensation by gene expression was employed to address specific challenges to low-temperature growth.
