Project description:Genomic Run-on analysis of topoisomerase mutants (top1-delta/top2ts or top2ts) has been conducted at reference temperature for wt strain and at non-permissive temperature for wt and mutant strains. Keywords: Genomic Run On
Project description:Total protein and membrane-enriched fractions of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 wild type (WT) and mutant strains affected with inactivated DNA methyltransferase genes were analyzed by LC-HDMSE. The mutation of the DNA methyltransferase gene sll0729 encoding M.Ssp6803II initially led to a strong phenotype, including a lowered chlorophyll/phycocyanin ratio, impaired growth, and alterations in gene expression. Prolonged cultivation revealed instability of the initially obtained phenotype. Colonies showing normal pigmentation and WT-like growth appeared regularly and in high frequencies on agar plates. These colonies represent suppressor mutants, since the sll0729 gene is still completely inactivated and methylation of the M.Ssp6803II target GGCC sites does not occur. The proteomic analysis comprises the WT, two strains of suppressor mutants sll0729_1 and sll0729_15 as well as mutants of the DNA methyltransferase genes slr6095 and sll8009. For each of these five strains we investigated three biological replicates. Comparisons between the WT and these two suppressor mutant strains, but also between them and the slr6095 and sll8009 mutants enabled the detection of expression differences, which are specifically linked to the absence of M.Ssp6803II-related DNA methylation.

Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in three S. cerevisiae Y55 mutants, compared to the wild-type strain. The UV-induced mutations enable the mutant strains to ferment high-gravity maltose faster than the WT. The mutants analyzed in this study are further described in Baerends, R.J.S., J.L. Qiu, L. Gautier, and A. Brandt. A high-throughput system for screening of fast-fermenting Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains. Manuscript in preparation.
Project description:P. aeruginosa PAO1 PA2663-UW expression in biofilm cells relative to P. aeruginosa PAO1 WT-UW expression in biofilm cells. All samples cultured in LB with glass wool. Keywords: Mutation
Project description:Our study focuses in undersatnding the chromatin-associated function of the c. elegans IKB homologues nfki-1 and ikb-1. We this objective, we have generated different worm mutant strains and then analyzed by ChIP-seq possible changes in H3K36me3 and H3K27me3 marks in the WT , nfki-1, ikb-1 and double c elegans mutants.
Project description:A series of experiments comparing the gene expression response before and after 30 min 0.7M NaCl exposure in WT and mutant yeast strains. Mutant strains were identified as having a defect in acquiring resistance to H2O2 following mild NaCl pretreatment. The mutants in this study were taken from the Yeast Knock-Out Collection, mat a.
