Project description:A ELMSeq reporter cassette was created to monitor Dam levels by methylation, and introduced in the genome. Some regions upstream dam were randomized to see their effect on gene expression. So the cassette consists in: 4xGATC sites - (promoter) - random region - dam. The amplicon was spanning the whole cassette, including some bases inside the dam. The cassette was introduced in Mycoplasma pneumoniae.

Project description:To determine the transcription start site and the abundance of dam mRNA, we conducted mRNA-specific RNA-Seq experiments. Essentially two strategies were tested. First strategy: We obtained the cDNA with a specific RT-PCR in order to get the mRNA from our dam construct (see DNA-seq of DamID reporter cassette). An enrichment, in which we used a Biotinylated dam oligo and Streptavidin magnetic beads, was needed. Then, similar to SHAPE-seq, the ssDNA ligation was performed with CircLigase. The last step was the PCR reaction in order to prepare the cDNA libraries to be sequenced. Second strategy: Similar to the first one, but the specificity was introduced at the PCR, not at the RT. Thereby, busk cDNA was prepared with random hexamers. The enrichment step was not needed.

Project description:The experiment was designed to identify differential gene expression due to dominant negative mutation of the Sox18 gene in the ragged Opossum spontaneous mouse mutant. Gene expression was analysed after whole RNA isolation in dermal spheres as hair follicle inductive mesenchyme tissue, and was intended to identify gene expression patterns associated with alteration of hair induction post Sox18 mutation.

Project description:Transcriptome analyses of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe cells lacking the CSL transcription factor cbf11. Wild-type cells were used as a control. Both genotypes were analyzed when grown to exponential phase in the complex YES medium, or in YES supplemented with ammonium chloride. The aim was to identify Cbf11-regulated genes, and cbf11-associated phenotypes are affected by the presence of a good nitrogen source.

Project description:Genome-wide identification of transcription factor (TF) binding sites in the genome of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. The ChIP-nexus method was used. TFs included were: Cbf11-TAP and Cbf12-TAP (and their DBM mutants with impaired DNA binding), TAP-Mga2, and Fkh2-TAP (as an irrelevant control TF). IPs from an untagged WT strain were also analyzed. Cbf11-related IPs were performed from exponential cultures, while Cbf12-related IPs were performed from stationary cultures. YES complex medium was used for all cultivations.

Project description:The actin cytoskeleton is a three-dimensional scaffold of proteins that is a regulatory, energy-consuming material with dynamic properties shaping the structure and function of the cell. The proper function of actin is required for many cellular pathways, including cell division, autophagy, chaperone function, endocytosis, and exocytosis (1–5). The breakdown of these cellular processes manifests during aging and exposure to stress, which is in part due to the breakdown of the actin cytoskeleton (5–9). However, the regulatory mechanisms involved in preservation of cytoskeletal form and function are not well understood. Here, we performed a multi-pronged, cross-organismal screen combining a whole-genome CRISPR-Cas9 screen in human fibroblasts with in vivo C. elegans synthetic lethality screening. We identified the bromodomain protein, BET-1, as a key regulator promoting actin health and longevity. Interestingly, overexpression of bet-1 preserves actin health at late age and promotes lifespan and healthspan in C. elegans. These beneficial effects are through preservation of actin, downstream of the function of BET-1 as a transcriptional regulator. Together, our discovery attributes assigns a key role of BET-1 in cytoskeletal health, highlighting regulatory cellular networks promoting cytoskeletal homeostasis.

Project description:Protein oxidation results from the reaction of amino-acid side chains with reactive oxygen species (ROS) and is mostly irreversible. In non-photosynthetic tissues, mitochondria are a main source of ROS, whereas plastids are the major source in photosynthetic tissues. Oxidized proteins suffer from decreased structural integrity and even loss of function, and their accumulation ultimately leads to cytotoxic aggregates. In mammals, this correlates with aging and is linked to several age-related pathologies. Mammalian proteolytic pathways for clearance of oxidized proteins are under intensive research, while mechanistic insights into this process in plants is scarce. AARE enzymes are ATP-independent serine proteases presumably acting on oxidized proteins and operating in a dual exo-/endopeptidase mode. They are found in all domains of life. Here, we investigated AARE enzymes in the moss Physcomitrella and the angiosperm Arabidopsis and identified three homologous nuclear genes in Physcomitrella (PpAARE1-3) and a single nuclear gene in Arabidopsis (AtAARE). Surprisingly, we observed triple localization of the proteins AtAARE and PpAARE1 to plastids, mitochondria and the cytosol in vivo, likely conserved across the plant lineage. This represents an ATP-independent possibility for degradation of oxidized proteins in the major source organelles of ROS in plants, which is distinct to mammals. Combinatorial knockout plants and protein interaction analysis revealed specific interactions of the moss AARE isoforms and functions in progressive aging. Analysis of an AtAARE T-DNA mutant further suggests conservation of AARE function in age-related development.

Project description:Biotin identification (BioID) is a proximity-dependent labeling technique to study protein-protein co-localization in vivo. Although BioID has been applied in animal cells, plants and yeast, the method remained to be established in filamentous fungi. In this study, we established BioID for the filamentous fungus Sordaria macrospora using the well-characterized striatin interacting phosphatase and kinase (STRIPAK) complex as a proof of principle. In detail, the STRIPAK complex interactor 1 (SCI1) was fused to a codon-optimized TurboID biotin ligase. This SCI1-TurboID fusion protein complemented the Δsci1 deletion strain phenotype. The identification of the already known SmSTRIPAK components PRO11, SmMOB3, SmPP2Ac1 and PRO22 in a BioID experiment with SCI1-TurboID demonstrated its successful application in S. macrospora. The technique will provide a powerful proteomics tool for fungal biologists.

Project description:Receptor kinases (RKs) play fundamental roles in extracellular sensing to regulate development and stress responses across kingdoms. In plants, leucine-rich repeat receptor kinases (LRR-RKs) function primarily as peptide receptors that regulate myriad aspects of plant development and response to external stimuli. Extensive phosphorylation of LRR-RK cytoplasmic domains is among the earliest detectable responses following ligand perception, and reciprocal transphosphorylation between a receptor and its co-receptor is proposed to activate the receptor complex. Originally conceived based on characterization of the brassinosteroid receptor, the prevalence of complex activation via reciprocal transphosphorylation across the plant RK family has not been tested. Using the LRR-RK ELONGATION FACTOR TU RECEPTOR (EFR) as a model RK, we set out to understand the steps critical for activating RK complexes. The EFR cytoplasmic domain is an active protein kinase in vitro and is phosphorylated in a ligand-dependent manner in vivo. Nevertheless, catalytically deficient EFR variants are functional in anti-bacterial immunity. These results reveal a non-catalytic role for the EFR cytoplasmic domain in triggering immune signaling and indicate that reciprocal transphoshorylation is not a ubiquitous requirement for LRR-RK complex activation. Rather, our analysis of EFR along with a detailed survey of the literature suggests a distinction between LRR-RK complexes with RD- versus non-RD-type protein kinase domains. Based on newly identified phosphorylation sites that regulate the activation state of the EFR complex in vivo, we propose that LRR-RK complexes containing a non-RD-type protein kinase may be activated by an allosteric mechanism triggered by activation segment phosphorylation and possibly involving conformational changes of the protein kinase domain of the ligand-binding receptor.
