Project description:The sigma(B)-dependent general stress response in the common soil bacterium Bacillus subtilis can be elicited by a range of stress factors, such as starvation or an ethanol-, salt-, or heat-shock, via a complex upstream signaling cascade. Additionally, sigma(B) can be activated by blue light, via the phototropin homologue YtvA, a component of the environmental branch of the signaling cascade. The genome-wide transcriptomes of B. subtilis reported here show that sigma(B) can activated by blue as well as red light via RsbP/RspQ, the energy branch of sigma(B) upstream signaling cascade. A 16 chip genome-wide expression study using RNA recovered from B.subtilis strain PB565/pYtvA under light and dark conditions before and after induction with IPTG, and from B.subtilis strain PB565 under light and dark conditions. Each B.subtilis subsp. subtilis strain 168 NC_000964 chip measures the expression level of 4,104 genes in two-fold from with eight 60-mer probe pairs (PM/MM) per gene.

Project description:Although many regulatory components of light signaling have been functionally characterized, only a few of them have been reported to cross talk with other signaling cascades. In this study, we have analyzed the expression profiles of Arabidopsis genes in wild-type, atmyc2 mutant, cop1-6 mutant, and atmyc2 cop1-6 double mutant seedlings grown under constant dark, constant blue-light, and constant blue-light along with abscisic acid (ABA) to illustrate the interplay of negative regulators, AtMYC2 and COP1, in light and ABA signaling Keywords: Light and abscisic acid treatment Expression data for wild-type, atmyc2, cop1-6, and atmyc2 cop1-6 seedlings under constant dark, blue-light and blue-light along with abscisic acid Ten-day-old Arabidopsis (wild-type, atmyc2 mutant, cop1-6 mutant, and atmyc2 cop1-6 double mutant) seedlings grown under constant dark, constant blue-light (35 µmol/sec/m2), and constant blue-light along with ABA (0.5 µm) were used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Two biological replicates of each sample were used for microarray analysis.

Project description:We investigated light dependent gene expression changes in the marine ochrophyte Nannochloropsis oceanica CCMP1779. These algae have several putative blue light photoreceptors but appear to lack red light photoreceptors. To study early light signaling in N. oceanica and avoid as much as possible secondary downstream events, we quantified gene expression changes in dark-adapted cells after a short blue or red light pulse. More genes were differentially expressed under blue than under red light. In addition, fold change in expression was smaller for the red light-treated samples. For example, the median fold change of induced genes was 3 for blue light and 2.5 for red light. Moreover, hierarchical cluster analysis showed that gene expression after red light treatment was more similar to the dark control than after blue light treatment.

Project description:Light is a major determinant of plant growth and survival. NONEXPRESSER OF PATHOGENESIS-RELATED GENES 1 (NPR1) acts as a receptor for salicylic acid (SA) and serves as the key regulator of SA-mediated immune responses. However, the mechanisms by which plants integrate light and SA signals in response to environmental changes, as well as the role of NPR1 in regulating plant photomorphogenesis, remain poorly understood. This study shows that SA promotes plant photomorphogenesis by regulating PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTOR 4 (PIF4). Specifically, NPR1 promotes photomorphogenesis under blue light by facilitating the degradation of PIF4 through light-induced polyubiquitination. NPR1 acts as a substrate adaptor for the CULLIN3-based E3 ligase, which ubiquitinates PIF4 at Lys129, Lys252, and Lys428, and leading to PIF4 degradation via the 26S proteasome pathway. Genetically, PIF4 is epistatic to NPR1 in the regulation of blue light-–induced photomorphogenesis, suggesting it acts downstream of NPR1. Furthermore, cryptochromes mediate the polyubiquitination of PIF4 by NPR1 in response to blue light by promoting the interaction and ubiquitination between NPR1 and PIF4. Transcriptome analysis revealed that, under blue light, NPR1 and PIF4 coordinately regulate numerous downstream genes related to light and auxin signaling pathways. Overall, these findings unveil a role for NPR1 in photomorphogenesis, highlighting a mechanism for post-translational regulation of PIF4 in response to blue light. This mechanism plays a pivotal role in the fine-tuning of plant development, enabling plants to adapt to complex environmental changes.

Project description:Light plays a key role in plant growth, development and response to adversity. Plants perceive different wavelengths of light in the environment through various photoreceptors and regulate plant growth and development through light signaling. However, there are fewer studies on the effects of different light qualities on the growth and development of tree species at high altitude. In the study, the effects of blue and green light treatments on the growth and development of Populus cuttings were investigated. Blue light treatment significantly increased the high growth of Populus, while green light treatment showed the opposite trend. Consequently, blue light treatment demonstrated growth promotion by increasing the growth hormone content of Populus. This implies that Populus may benefit from blue light therapy in terms of growth and development, which may be helpful for further research into the introduction and cultivation of poplar species in high altitude regions.

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: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.

Project description:We identified 737 differentially expressed genes, including 430 upregulated genes and 307 downregulated genes, by calculating the gene FPKM in each sample and conducting differential gene analysis. Gene ontology analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis suggested that blue light influenced visual perception, sensory perception of light stimulus, phototransduction, and JAK-STAT signaling pathways. Differential lncRNA, circRNA and miRNA analysis suggested that blue light exposure affected pathways for retinal cone cell development and phototransduction, among others.
