Project description:In order to explore the effect of introducing the ectoine synthesis module in Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 on the global regulation of the strain under high-salt environment. The ectoine synthesis module was introduced at the Synpcc7942_0808 locus to obtain the Syn7942/Δsps-ect strain that lacked sucrose synthesis and could synthesize ectoine. Comparative transcriptomic analysis was performed on WT and Syn7942/Δsps-ect under 0 mM and 300 mM NaCl conditions.

Project description:The goals of this study are to compare different gene expressions for Penicillium oxalicum wild type strain (WT), CrzA deletion strain (ΔCrzA) and CrzA recover strain (ReCrzA) in 2% starch as carbon sources. The correlation analysis results between the various samples showed that the gene expression levels of the wild strain and the RecrzA strain were similar, and the gene expression levels between ΔcrzA and the wild strain were significantly different. The deletion of CrzA significantly down-regulates the expression levels of conidia pigment synthesis genes, and spore wall synthesis-related genes of Penicillium oxalicum, and also has a regulatory effect on the expression levels of genes related to the sporulation process. And the absence of CrzA can broadly down-regulate the expression level of cellulase-encoding genes, indicating that CrzA can cause a decrease in cellulase synthesis by affecting the expression of cellulase-encoding genes. The information provided by this study indicates that CrzA function is necessary for the mycelial development and cellulase activity of Penicillium oxalicum.

Project description:In vivo pathways of natural retinoid metabolism and elimination have not been well characterized in primary myeloid cells, even though retinoids and retinoid receptors have been strongly implicated in regulating myeloid maturation. Using a UAS-GFP reporter transgene, and retrovirally expressed Gal4-RARA in primary mouse bone marrow cells, we identified two distinct enzymatic pathways utilized by mouse myeloid cells ex vivo to synthesize RARA ligands from free vitamin A metabolites (retinyl acetate, retinol, and retinal). Bulk Kit+ bone marrow progenitor cells utilize diethylaminobenzaldehyde (DEAB)-sensitive enzymes, whereas bone marrow-derived macrophages use DEAB-insensitive enzymes to synthesize natural RARA-activating retinoids (all-trans retinoic acid). Bone marrow-derived macrophages do not express the DEAB-sensitive enzymes Aldh1a1, Aldh1a2, or Aldh1a3, but instead express Aldh3b1, which we found is capable of DEAB-insensitive synthesis of all trans-retinoic acid. However, under steady-state and stimulated conditions in vivo, diverse bone marrow cells and peritoneal macrophages showed no evidence of intracellular RARA-activating retinoids despite expression of these enzymes and a vitamin A sufficient diet, suggesting that the enzymatic conversion of retinal is not the rate limiting step in the synthesis of intracellular RARA-activating retinoids in myeloid bone marrow cells and that that RARA remains in an un-liganded configuration during adult hematopoiesis. In order to identify additional enzymes that might contribute to DEAB-insensitive retinoid synthesis in bone marrow-derived macrophages, we compared gene expression in Kit+ progenitor cells vs bone marrow macrophages by Affymetrix array profiling. We analyzed 3 biological samples each of mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages and Kit+ progenitor cells

Project description:RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is the central enzyme that carries out eukaryotic mRNA transcription and consists of a 10-subunit catalytic core and a heterodimeric subcomplex of subunits Rpb4 and Rpb7 (Rpb4/7). Rpb4/7 has been proposed to shuttle from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, and to function there in mRNA translation and degradation. Here we provide evidence that Rpb4 mainly functions in nuclear mRNA synthesis by Pol II, and evidence arguing against an important cytoplasmic role. We used metabolic RNA labeling and comparative Dynamic Transcriptome Analysis (cDTA) to show that Rpb4 deletion in Saccharomyces cerevisiae causes a drastic defect in mRNA synthesis that is compensated by down-regulation of mRNA degradation, resulting in mRNA level buffering. Deletion of Rpb4 can be rescued by covalent fusion of Rpb4 to the Pol II core subunit Rpb2, which largely restores mRNA synthesis and degradation defects caused by Rpb4 deletion. Thus Rpb4 is a bona fide Pol II core subunit which functions mainly in mRNA synthesis.

Project description:Bacteria synthesize guanosine tetra- and penta phosphate (commonly referred to as (p)ppGpp) in response to environmental stresses. (p)ppGpp reprograms cell physiology and is essential for stress survival, virulence and antibiotic tolerance. Proteins of the RSH superfamily (RelA/SpoT Homologues) are ubiquitously distributed and hydrolyze or synthesize (p)ppGpp. Structural studies have suggested that the shift between hydrolysis and synthesis is governed by conformational antagonism between the two active sites in RSHs. RelA proteins of γ-proteobacteria exclusively synthesize (p)ppGpp and encode an inactive pseudo-hydrolase domain. Escherichia coli RelA synthesizes (p)ppGpp in response to amino acid starvation with cognate uncharged tRNA at the ribosomal A-site, however, mechanistic details to the regulation of the enzymatic activity on the ribosome remain elusive. Here, we show a novel role of the enzymatically inactive hydrolase domain in modulating the activity of the synthetase domain of RelA. Using random mutagenesis screening and functional studies, we identify a loop region (residues 114-130) in the hydrolase domain, which controls the synthetase activity. We show that a synthetase-inactive loop mutant of RelA is not affected for tRNA binding, but binds the ribosome less efficiently than wildtype RelA. Our data provide strong evidence to support the model that the hydrolase domain acts as a molecular switch to regulate the synthetase activity.

Project description:Here we show that TRAP1 directly binds translation elongation factors, both inside and outside mitochondria, and slows down translation. TRAP1 overexpression or silencing affects the synthesis of respiratory complex components. Inside mitochondria, TRAP1 binds the Complex III core component UQCRC2 and regulates Complex III activity. This decreases respiration rate upon basal condition but allows sustained oxidative phosphorylation when glucose is limiting, a condition in which TRAP1-UQCRC2 binding is lost. In humans, TRAP1 is co-expressed with the mitochondrial translational machinery, which synthesize respiratory complex proteins. Altogether, our results show an unprecedented level of complexity in the regulation of cancer cell metabolism, in which mitochondrial and cytosolic protein synthesis are co-regulated with energetic metabolism through the contribution of a common molecular chaperone

Project description:Coenzyme A (CoA) is an essential molecule acting in metabolism, post-translational modification, and regulation of gene expression. While all organisms synthesize CoA, many, including humans, are unable to produce its precursor, pantothenate. Intriguingly, like most plants, fungi and bacteria, parasites of the coccidian subgroup of Apicomplexa, including the human pathogen Toxoplasma gondii, possess all the enzymes required for de novo synthesis of pantothenate. Here, the importance of CoA and pantothenate biosynthesis for the acute and chronic stages of T. gondii infection is dissected through genetic, biochemical and metabolomic approaches, revealing that CoA synthesis is essential for T. gondii tachyzoites, due to the parasite's inability to salvage CoA or intermediates of the pathway. In contrast, pantothenate synthesis is only partially active in T. gondii tachyzoites, making the parasite reliant on its uptake. However, pantothenate synthesis is crucial for the establishment of chronic infection, offering a promising target for intervention against the persistent stage of T. gondii.

Project description:MmpL3 is an inner membrane transporter of Mycobacterium tuberculosis responsible for the export of trehalose momomycolate, a precursor of the mycobacterial outer membrane component trehalose dimycolate (TDM), as well as mycolic acids bound to arabinogalactan. MmpL3 represents an emerging target for tuberculosis therapy. In this paper, we describe the construction and characterization of an mmpL3 knockdown strain of M. tuberculosis. Downregulation of mmpL3 led to a stop in bacterial division and rapid cell death, preceded by the accumulation of TDM precursors. MmpL3 was also shown to be essential for growth in monocyte-derived human macrophages. Using RNA-seq we also found that MmpL3 depletion caused up-regulation of 47 genes and down-regulation of 23 genes (at least 3-fold change and false discovery rate ≤ 1%). Several genes related to osmoprotection and metal homeostasis were induced, while several genes related to energy production and mycolic acids biosynthesis were repressed suggesting that inability to synthesize a correct outer membrane leads to changes in cellular permeability and a metabolic shiftdown.

Project description:SpoT is an Rsh (Rel / Spo homolog) protein, which synthesizes the alarmone ppGpp in response to starvation. This experiment is quantifying transcription in two Caulobacter strains after 5 minutes of glucose starvation: one strain is wild-type CB15N (NA1000); the other strain is NA1000 which has a chromosomal in-frame deletion of the spoT gene. The wild-type strain can synthesize the alarmone ppGpp in response to starvation and the spoT null strain cannot. Both strains were cultured in M2 defined medium with glucose as the sole carbon source, and then washed and incubated in M2 medium lacking glucose for 5 minutes before RNA isolation.
