Project description:This dataset was used to assess the random insertion by tranposases of lox sites in Mycoplasma pneumoniae. This is part of the protocol LoxTnSeq, a new methodology to generate and catalogue libraries of genome reduction mutants. LoxTnSeq combines random integration of Lox sites by transposon mutagenesis, and the generation of mutants via cre recombinase, catalogued via deep-sequencing. When LoxTnSeq was applied to the naturally genome reduced bacterium Mycoplasma pneumoniae, we obtained a mutant pool containing 285 unique deletions. These deletions spanned from >50 bp to 28 Kb, which represent 21% of the total genome. LoxTnSeq also highlighted large regions of non-essential genes that could be removed simultaneously, and other similar regions that could not, providing a guide for future genome reductions.

Project description:We developed a multi recombinase engineering rationale, that combines oligonucleotide recombineering with the selective capacity of antibiotic resistance via transient insertion of selector plasmids. We tested this method in Mycoplasma pneumoniae, a bacterium with a very inefficient native recombination machinery. A wide variety of targeted genome modifications were carried out. We did whole genome sequencing of some clones to confirm that the engineering method is not mutagenic and ensure that genome modifications only occurred at the intended loci. Specifically we sequenced clones carrying 1 kb deletion at 4 different chromosomal locations (i.e., M129-GP35-PtetCre Δ1kbmpn088::lox scar, M129-GP35-PtetCre Δ1kbmpn256::lox scar, M129-GP35-PtetCre Δ1kbmpn440::lox scar, M129-GP35-PtetCre Δ1kbmpn583::lox scar), a clone carrying a 30 kb deletion (M129-GP35-PtetCre Δ30kbNE region::pLoxPuro) and a clone carrying a 5.5 kb deletion that was complemented with the two essential genes found in this area (M129-GP35 Δ5.5kbmpn633-mpn638::mpn636-637lox scar)

Project description:Definition of different Tn4001-derived mini-transposons carrying reporters with no translation initiation codons so they can only be expressed when fused to an endogenous protein. We used Chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (Cm) as a positive selection marker while the RNAse barnase (Barn) was used as a negative one. In this case, the mini-transposon has a constitutively expressed chloramphenicol resistance gene downstream to the Barn gene. Also, Erythromycin esterase EreA (Ery) was used to evaluate the effect of oligomerization of protein-fusion resistances, as Ery is a dimeric resistance while Cm forms a tetramer. In the positive selection, for the bacteria to survive in the presence of Chloramphenicol, the transposed reporter needs to be inserted in-frame to a genome protein-coding sequence. In the negative selection, the transposed gene should be out of frame with the genome protein-coding sequence for the bacteria to survive.

Project description:Transcription factors play diverse roles during embryonic development, combinatorially controlling multiple cellular states in a spatially and temporally defined manner. Resolving the dynamic transcriptional profiles that underlie these patterning processes is essential for understanding embryogenesis at the molecular level. Here we show how temporal, tissue-specific changes in embryonic transcription factor function can be discerned by integrating caged morpholinos (cMOs) with photoactivatable fluorophores, fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), and microarray technologies. As a proof of principle, we have dynamically profiled No tail-a (Ntla)-dependent genes at different stages of axial mesoderm development in zebrafish, discovering and characterizing discrete sets of transcripts that are coincident with either notochord cell fate commitment or differentiation. Our studies demonstrate how optically controlled chemical tools can be use to probe developmental processes with spatiotemporal precision and reveal the sequential activation of distinct transcriptomes within a cell lineage by a single transcriptional factor. Zebrafish zygotes were injected with a mixture of ntla caged morpholino (cMO) and caged fluorescein dextran (cFD), and a 100 µm-diameter region of the shield was UV-irradiated at 6 hours post fertilization (hpf). The UV irradiation generated an active morpholino targeting the ntla 5'UTR and simultaneously labeled the cells with green fluorescence. By 36 hpf, the irradiated, green-fluorescent cells contributed to the medial floor plate rather than the notochord, consistent with earlier proposals that Ntla acts as a transcriptional switch between these two cell fates. Combining these caged reagents with microarray analysis identified transcriptional changes coincident with loss of ntla at 9 hpf and subsequent notochord fate respecification. Zebrafish zygotes were injected with a mixture of ntla cMO/cFD, and a 100 µm-diameter region of the shield was UV-irradiated at 6 hpf. Control embryos were injected with cFD and similarly irradiated at 6 hpf. Experimental and control sets of embryos were enzymatically dissociated at 9 hpf, green-fluorescent cells were isolated by FACS, and collected in trizol. Thirty embryos were used for each experiment or controls, each yielding approximately 8,000 green fluorescent cells. Five biological replicates were performed along with five paired controls. Total RNA was isolated from each sample, reverse transcribed, and amplified using WTA2 TransPlex Complete Whole Transcriptome Amplification kit (Sigma) using a miniaturized procedure and manufacturer-recommended incubation steps. The synthesized cDNA was sent to Nimblegen for dye labeling and hybridization. Samples were hybridized to the Nimblegen 2007 (Zv 7) Danio rerio Gene Expression Array chip using one dye per chip. Raw probe data (.pair file) was subjected to RMA, normalization, background correction, and generation of gene expression summary (.calls file) by Nimblegen. Processed data was analyzed in ArrayStar software (DNAStar). Significantly affected genes (fold change > 2 and p-value < 0.10) were identified using a moderated t-test.

Zebrafish zygotes were injected with a mixture of ntla caged morpholino (cMO) and caged fluorescein dextran (cFD), and a 100 µm-diameter region of the posterior chordamesoderm 125 μm anterior to the center of Kupffer’s vesicle was UV-irradiated at 12 hours post fertilization (hpf). The UV irradiation generated an active morpholino targeting the ntla 5'UTR and simultaneously labeled the cells with green fluorescence. By 36 hpf, the irradiated, green-fluorescent cells contributed to both notochord and floor plate, but the notochord cells were partially vacuolated and disorganized. Combining these caged reagents with microarray analysis identified transcriptional changes coincident with loss of ntla at 16 hpf and subsequent notochord differentiation. Zebrafish zygotes were injected with a mixture of ntla cMO/cFD, and a 100 µm-diameter region of the posterior chordamesoderm 125 μm anterior to the center of Kupffer’s vesicle was UV-irradiated at 12 hpf.

Project description:A detailed map of genomic locations where TFs bind DNA and modulate transcription is essential to model mechanisms of gene regulation on a systems-scale. Chromatin immunoprecipitation of transcription complexes coupled to microarray (ChIP-chip (Ren et al, 2000)) or sequencing (ChIP-seq (Robertson et al, 2007)) is a commonly used approach to construct such maps. In ChIP-chip, the resolution to which the protein-DNA binding sites (TFBSs) can be identified is often limited by the genomic spacing of the probes in the array. We utilized the MeDiChI algorithm (Reiss et al, 2008) to estimate precise TFBS locations and their corresponding local false discovery rates (LFDRs) from high-resolution arrays for TFBa, TFBd and TFBf. This regression-based method deconvolves the ChIP-chip enrichment ratios along the genome by fitting them with a 'peak profile' model of binding events, assuming a distribution in enriched DNA fragment lengthsÂ. A comparison of the peak intensities derived from MeDiChI for all three TFs (TFBd, TFBf and TFBa) for which there were biological replicate measurements using 2 different microarray platforms (500 nt resolution spotted arrays, see series GSE7045 vs. 13 nt resolution Nimblegen arrays) provided strong validation (with R2 of 0.66, 0.52, and 0.81, respectively) of most TFBSs.
