Project description:Dry skin evokes itch (pruritus), but underlying mechanisms are still elusive. To examine alterations of itch-related genes, dry skin condition was induced by AEW (Acetone/Ether/Water) treatment. In this study, RNA-seq was performed with dorsal root ganglia neurons obtained from AEW-treated ICR male mice (12-week-old) or control mice.
Project description:This series represents the analysis of a commercial dry active yeast (purchased locally). The genetics of this sample is unknown. Keywords = commercial Keywords = dry active yeast Keywords: other

Project description:The mutant Saccharomyces cerevisiae Y518 generated much more intracellular glutathione (GSH) than its counterpart dose. The RNA-seq based global transcriptome analysis was performed for exploring the potential mechanisms. Statistical analysis indicated that 1125 differentially expressed genes (fold-change>=2.0, FDR<=0.001) were up-regulated and 503 were down-regulated. There were 12 genes involved in glutathione metabolism. Of which GSH1, encodes gamma-glutamine cysteine synthetase, the rate-limiting enzyme in GSH biosynthesis process, was up-regulated. And MET17, encodes cysteine synthase A, an enzyme catalyzes the biosynthesis of one of the precursor amino acids L- cysteine, was also up-regulated. Besides, regulator SKN7 and several genes involved in oxidative stress response (GPX2, CTT1, SOD1, TRX2) were up-regulated. Intracellular ROS level of Y518 was also enhanced compared to that of 2-10515. Our results indicate that up-regulations of GSH1 and MET17 might be associated with the increased intracellular GSH content of the mutant, and up-regulated GSH1 may be caused by increased intracellular ROS level. Saccharomyces cerevisiae mRNA profiles of 24-h wild type 2-10515 and mutant Y518 were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina HiSeqTM 2000
Project description:The 29-kDa RNA protein (29RNP), which was originally identified in rice etioplasts, has increased phosphorylation levels during de-etiolation. Here, using heparin-sepharose enriched fractions, we identified a chloroplast kinase that phosphorylated 29RNP. The chloroplast kinase phosphorylated the 29RNP and exhibited CKII biochemical characteristics in a kinase reaction test. Proteomic analysis of the chloroplast heparin-sepharose enriched fractions revealed the presence of 70 proteins, including both abundant proteins, such as plastid encoded polymerase subunits, and low-abundance proteins, such as APO2 and DAG. An inclusion list method using Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer ( FT-ICR LTQ MS ) was subsequently used to analyze the chloroplast heparin-sepharose enriched fractions. The 29RNP kinase was positively identified as a CKII alpha family protein by the presence of two unique peptides.
