Project description:Cryptochromes are blue-light receptors in plants and animals. Homodimers are the physiologically active form of plant cryptochromes that mediates blue light regulation of gene expression and photomorphogenesis, but how light regulates the photoreceptor activation and inactivation remains unclear. We identified an Arabidopsis protein BIC1 (Blue-light Inhibitor of Cryptochromes 1) that inhibits all photoreactions of plant cryptochrome 2 (CRY2) examined, allowing direct tests of the photoactivation and inactivation mechanisms of CRY2. We found that blue light stimulates homodimerization of CRY2, whereas BIC1 binds to CRY2 to suppress CRY2 dimerization and the interaction of CRY2 with its signaling partners. We further show that cryptochromes and phytochromes mediate light induction of BIC1 transcription, evoking the negative feedback circuitry to control homeostasis of the active cryptochromes under the broad spectra of solar radiation in nature.

Project description:Aureochromes represent a unique type of blue-light photoreceptors that possess a blue-light sensing flavin-binding LOV-domain and a DNA-binding bZIP domain. Therefore, in contrast to other photoreceptors, aureochromes are considered as light-driven transcription factors. As a member of the essential group of marine primary producers, the pennate diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum possesses four aureochromes (PtAUREO1a, 1b, 1c, 2). We here show a dramatic change in the global gene expression pattern of P. tricornutum cells after a shift from red to blue light. About 75% of the genes show significantly changed transcript levels already after 10 and 60 min of blue light exposure, which includes genes of major transcription factors as well as other photoreceptors. Very surprisingly, in two independent PtAureo1a knockout lines, this light induced regulation of gene expression is almost completely abolished. Such a massive and fast transcriptional change depending on only one single photoreceptor is so far unprecedented. We hence conclude that PtAUREO1a plays a key role in light regulation.

Project description:Light quality is an important abiotic factor that affects growth and development of photosynthetic organism. In this study, D. salina was exposed to red (660 nm) and blue light (450 nm), and cell growth, pigments, and transcriptome were analyzed. The RNA of D. salina was sequenced and transcriptomic response of algal cells after transitioning from white light to red and blue light was investigated. Genes encoding for enzymes involved in photosynthesis were down-regulated, whereas genes involved in the metabolism of carotenoid were up-regulated. Genes encoding for photoprotective enzymes related to reactive oxygen species scavenging were up-regulated under both red and blue light. The present transcriptomic study would assist in the comprehensive understanding of carotenoid biosynthesis of D. salina.

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study was to globally characterize the transcript levels of genes in Drosophila photoreceptor neurons during aging. Using transcriptome profiling of isolated photoreceptor nuclei we analyzed the changes in gene expression that occur during aging over 5 time-points from 10 to 40 days post-eclosion and identified sets of genes with both up-regulated and down-regulated expression.

Project description:A tuberization inhibitor has long been postulated, but not yet found. We found that blue light inhibits tuberization in Norland, a day-neutral variety of Solanum tuberosum L. Tissue-cultured plants formed tubers within 8 weeks under continuous darkness, and white, red, or far-red light. Preliminary experiments indicated that a one- or two-day exposure to blue light after 3-4 weeks of dark treatment will inhibit tuber formation in ‘Norland’ plants. Using this system and expression profiling, we may be able to identify candidate tuberization inhibitors. 'Norland' plants (subcultured from existing cultures and grown for two weeks under continuous 100 umol/m2-s white fluorescent light) were placed in tuber-inducing media containing 6% sucrose, vitamins, MS salts, and kinetin (2.5 mg/L). Tubes containing plants were wrapped in two layers of aluminum foil. After 3 weeks and 2 days, half of the tubes were exposed to 6-7 umol/m2-s blue light. The other half of the tubes were left in darkness (controls). After 2 days, all plants were harvested and frozen in liquid nitrogen. Plants exposed to blue light were harvested under blue light. Control plants were harvested under < 2 umol/m2-s light conditions. All plant transfers were done at 1700 (5 PM) to avoid possible complications due to circadian effects. Experiments were performed four times, from subculture to harvest. RNA was extracted from stem and leaf tissue of plants using the Qiagen RNeasy Plant Mini kit. Extracted RNA was then converted to dsDNA using the Invitrogen protocol and reagents for double stranded cDNA synthesis. The resulting dsDNA was in vitro transcribed into amplified RNA using the Ambion procedure and reagents for in vitro transcription. cDNA was purified using Qiagen MinElute columns and protocol. Amplified RNA was purified using Ambion columns or Qiagen RNeasy columns and the Ambion protocol, and quantified using RiboGreen dye fluorometry. Keywords: Direct comparison

Project description:Light is one of the main environmental cues that affects the physiology and behavior of many organisms. The effect of light on genome-wide transcriptional regulation has been well-studied in green algae and plants, but not in red algae. Cyanidioschyzon merolae is used as a model red algae, and is suitable for studies on transcriptomics because of its compact genome with a relatively small number of genes. In addition, complete genome sequences of the nucleus, mitochondrion, and chloroplast of this organism have been determined. Together, these attributes make C. merolae an ideal model organism to study the response to light stimuli at the transcriptional and the systems biology levels. Previous studies have shown that light significantly affects cell signaling in this organism, but there are no reports on its blue light- and red light-mediated transcriptional responses. We investigated the direct effects of blue and red light at the transcriptional level using RNA-seq. Blue and red light were found to regulate 35% of the total genes in C. merolae. Blue light affected the transcription of genes involved protein synthesis while red light specifically regulated the transcription of genes involved in photosynthesis and DNA repair. Blue or red light regulated genes involved in carbon metabolism and pigment biosynthesis. Overall, our data showed that red and blue light regulate the majority of the cellular, cell division, and repair processes in C. merolae.
