RNA-seq of Nostoc sp. PCC 7120 (Anabaena sp. PCC 7120) wild-type strain compared to a FurC-overexpressing derivative strain grown in BG11 and after 48 hours of nitrogen-step down.

ABSTRACT: Here, we report the comparison of transcriptomes of Anabaena sp. PCC7120 and a FurC-overexpressing derivative strain grown under standard conditions (BG11) and after 48 hours of nitrogen step-down (BG110). Anabaena sp PCC7120 is a cyanobacterium that differentiates specialized nitrogen-fixing cells called heterocysts. Our data suggests that FurC directly controls the regulation of heterocyst differentiation and nitrogen fixation in this cyanobacterium. In addition, we found that FurC is also clearly involved in the regulation of several genes belonging to different functional categories, such as iron metabolism, photosynthesis and regulatory functions.

Project description:The early stages of the immune response against aberrant tissues such a tumors are technically difficult to study and therefore little understood. To analyze the innate immune response towards modified self-tissue we expressed a dominant-active version of the Ras oncogene in Drosophila imaginal discs and salivary glands. Signs of an immune response are observed on wings of adult flies, which show spots of melanization and in larvae, where the salivary glands attract blood cells. In line with the strong response mounted against salivary glands, they are found to express metalloproteases and apoptotic markers making them both accessible and recognizable for the immune system. The response against the glands bears several hallmarks of an encapsulation response including flattening of plasmatocytes, differentiation of lamellocytes, attachment of crystal cells and melanization at the final stage. RNA sequencing of the fat body, the primary producer of immune effectors, reveals a pattern of induced genes, which overlaps the one previously found upon wasp infestation but shows also several specific features. Evidence for the functional importance of one of the induced genes is presented proving the power of our approach to identify regulators of the response against modified self. Transcriptome analysis of the immune response in the fat body after expression of dominant-active RAS in the wing imaginal discs and salivary glands. Comparison of fat bodies from 3 control and 3 RAS-expressing larvae. For each sample fat bodies from 40 individuals were dissected.
