Project description:Comparing the transcriptome of wildtype and kdm5 mutant flies in normal conditions revealed a total of 4787 genes that were significantly downregulated and thus require KDM5 for their activation, and 3269 upregulated genes that are normally repressed by KDM5 (p<0.05, FDR <0.05). Because kdm5 mutants are sensitive to the oxidizer paraquat, we also carried out RNA-seq from wildtype and kdm5 mutant adults in oxidative stress conditions. Paraquat treatment of wildtype flies lead to the upregulation of 2481, and downregulation of 3103 genes

Project description:Many cellular stresses cause damages of intracellular proteins, which are eventually degraded by the ubiquitin and proteasome system. The proteasome is a multicatalytic protease complex composed of 20S core particle and the proteasome activators that regulate the proteasome activity. Extracellular mutants 29 (Ecm29) is a 200 kDa protein encoded by KIAA0368 gene, associates with the proteasome, but its role is largely unknown. Here, we generated KIAA0368-deficient mice and investigated the function of Ecm29 in stress response. KIAA0368-deficient mice showed normal peptidase activity and proteasome formation at normal condition. Under stressed condition, 26S proteasome dissociates in wild-type cells, but not in KIAA0368(-/-) cells. This response was correlated with efficient degradation of damaged proteins and resistance to oxidative stress of KIAA0368(-/-) cells. Thus, Ecm29 is involved in the dissociation process of 26S proteasome, providing clue to analyse the mechanism of proteasomal degradation under various stress condition.
Project description:Increased cellular levels of oxidative stress are implicated in a large number of human diseases. Here we describe the transcription co-factor KDM5 (also known as Lid) as a new critical regulator of cellular redox state. Moreover, this occurs through a novel KDM5 activity whereby it alters the ability of the transcription factor Foxo to bind to DNA. Our microarray analyses of kdm5 mutants revealed a striking enrichment for genes required to regulate cellular levels of oxidative stress. Consistent with this, loss of kdm5 results in increased sensitivity to treatment with oxidizers, elevated levels of oxidized proteins, and increased mutation load. KDM5 activates oxidative stress resistance genes by interacting with Foxo to facilitate its recruitment to KDM5-Foxo co-regulated genes. Significantly, this occurs independently of KDM5's well-characterized demethylase activity. Instead, KDM5 interacts with the lysine deacetylase HDAC4 to promote Foxo deacetylation, which affects Foxo DNA binding.
Project description:To determine microbiota composition associated with loss of KDM5 in intestine, we carried out 16S rRNA seq analyses of dissected intestine from wildtype and kdm5 mutant. [GSM2628181-GSM2628190]. A total of 78 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were identified in the sequence data. There were about 15 genera much less abundant in kdm5 mutant compared to wildtype. The kdm5 mutant were sensitive to pathogen. To confirm the microbiota associated with loss of KDM5 in intestine, 16S rRNA of new flies were sequenced and analyzed by Majorbio Bio-Pharm Technology Co. Ltd. (Shanghai, China) [GSM3243472-GSM3243481]. A total of 107 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were identified in the sequence data. There were about 20 genera much less abundant in kdm5 mutant compared to wildtype. To confirm the microbiota associated with loss of KDM5 drosophila feeding with Lactobacillus plantarum, 16S rRNA of kdm5 mutant flies were sequenced and analyzed by Novogene Bioinformatics Technology Co., Ltd. (Tianjin, China) [GSM3263522-GSM3263527]. A total of 92 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were identified in the sequence data. To confirm the microbiota associated with KDM5 knockdown in intestine, 16S rRNA of Myo1A-Gal4TS/+ and Myo1A-Gal4TS/+;+/kdm5RNAi flies were sequenced and analyzed by Biomarker Co. Ltd. (Beijing, China). [GSM3507915-GSM3507924]. A total of 50 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were identified in the sequence data. There was a significant different based on the genus level between two groups.
Project description:Purpose: The purpose of this study are to identify the genes involved in regulating the production of metabolites in Chlorella sorokiniana under stress-induced condition through RNA-sequencing technique. Methods:Transcriptome profile from normal and stress sample of C. sorokiniana were generated, in triplicate, using Illumina Hiseq2000. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were de-novo assembled using Trinity doftware, followed by analysis using Burrows–Wheeler Aligner (BWA) and DESeq2. Lastly, RT-qPCR was used to validate the expression level of genes. Results: A total of 200 million reads was obtained from both normal and stress induced samples of C. sorokiniana. The assembly program produced 18,310 assembled transcripts with a length ranging from 165 to 16,695 bp. Differential expression analysis revealed 933 transcripts were significantly differentially expressed between normal and stress with 431 were up-regulated and 502 were down-regulated. Pathway analysis revealed that the differentially expressed genes were associated with a variety of KEGG pathways.
Project description:Arabidopsis 5’-3’ exoribonuclease, AtXRN4, a homolog of yeast Xrn1p, functions in degradation of uncapped RNAs after de-capping step. While Xrn1p-dependent on plant XRN4’s targets for degradation is still limited. For understanding biological function of AtXRN4, we tested survivability of atxrn4 mutants under heat stress. Our results showed that atxrn4 mutants increased survival rate under short-term degradation is a main mRNA decay in yeast, knowledge heat stress compared with WT plants. Our microarray and mRNA decay assay showed that loss of AtXRN4 function caused reduction of mRNA degradation of heat shock factor A2 (HSFA2) and ethylene response factor 1 (ERF1). HSFA2 has been known as a key regulator in heat acclimation, was found as a target for AtXRN4 for degradation at non-stress condition. Heat stress applied on atxrn4-3 hsfa2 double mutant severely lacked heat tolerance phenotype of atxrn4 mutant. These results suggest that AtXRN4-mediated mRNA degradation linked to suppress heat acclimation.
Project description:Two durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum) genotypes, the variety Borgia (derived from the cross IRTA-1004 x Bidi 17) and a pale-green mutant (MD-597) derived from it, were used for the measurement of physiological traits and gene expression. Mutant plants used for this study were the stable eight generation (M8) derived from the isolated original mutant plant. Terminal water stress: irrigation was drastically reduced from the booting stage until maturity by watering the pots with the amount of water necessary to maintain the pots at 1/3 of field capacity. The drought treatment was started by withholding water at the anthesis stage. ****[PLEXdb(http://www.plexdb.org) has submitted this series at GEO on behalf of the original contributor, Alessio Aprile.

Project description:The cytosolic ribosome is composed of a large number of distinct protein types and its overall function is responsible for the synthesis of most proteins in plants. Defining the role of each of its protein subunits is a major challenge which is hampered by a lack of consistency in current attribution of proteins to the cytosolic ribosome or to the broader translatome associated with functioning ribosomes. The turover rates of several ribosomal proteins, including both small and large subunit proteins were measured, which showed that shows that some ribosomal proteins turnover much more rapidly that the ribosome as a whole and could be important to understand ribosome function, critical sites in their function or in vivo repair processes.
