Project description:Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, a widely distributed economically important agent in postharvest fruit disease thrives by massive secretion of ammonia to alkalize its environment and activate its pathogenicity genes. We sequenced the C. gloeosporioides transcriptomes of WT and a M-bM-^HM-^FpacC mutant, a major gene regulator under changing pH, under pH 7.0 in order to examine pacC regulation. Transcriptome analysis of the M-bM-^HM-^FpacC strain showed that 468 and 458 genes were up or down regulated, respectively. Both the up and down regulated genes were clustered into similar functions including: transporters to maintain cellular homeostasis, cell wall degrading enzymes to optimize pathogenicity and GATA-like transcription factors. Suggesting that activation of pacC under alkaline condition regulates genes expression to fit their optimal PKa. The transcript level predictions were verified by growth in different pH and fruit infection. Further analyses showed pacC binding sites were over-represented in the promoters of the pacC up-regulated genes but not in the promoters of the down-regulated genes, where instead, GATA-like binding sites were prominent. Evolutionary conservation of pacC control was sought by examining the gene orthologs in 5 fungal genomes whose members display contrasting alkaline or acidifying pathogenicity strategies. The results showed that irrespective of pathogen colonization strategy, only orthologs of up-regulated genes showed over-representation of pacC binding sites. Significantly, the down regulated orthologs revealed cross-genome over-representation of GATA transcription factor binding sites. Thus, pacC is a phylogenetically conserved fungal mechanism exerting dual pH control for maintaining homeostasis and pathogenicity in changing environments.

Project description:Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, a widely distributed economically important agent in postharvest fruit disease thrives by massive secretion of ammonia to alkalize its environment and activate its pathogenicity genes. We sequenced the C. gloeosporioides transcriptomes of WT and a ∆pacC mutant, a major gene regulator under changing pH, under pH 7.0 in order to examine pacC regulation. Transcriptome analysis of the ∆pacC strain showed that 468 and 458 genes were up or down regulated, respectively. Both the up and down regulated genes were clustered into similar functions including: transporters to maintain cellular homeostasis, cell wall degrading enzymes to optimize pathogenicity and GATA-like transcription factors.

Project description:The plant plastid Clp machinery comprises a hetero-oligomeric ClpPRT proteolytic core, ATP-dependent ClpC,D chaperones and an adaptor protein, ClpS1. ClpS1 directs a subset of substrates to the Clp protease-chaperone complex for degradation, but substrate recognition and delivery mechanisms are unknown. Here we describe ClpF, a novel chloroplast adaptor. ClpF is only found in photosynthetic eukaryotes and contains uvr/C and YccV domains and an N-terminal domain conserved across ClpF homologs. We demonstrate that ClpF acts together with ClpS1 in substrate delivery to plastid ClpC chaperones. The molecular domain interactions of ClpF to ClpS1 and the ClpC chaperones were mapped, and in vivo interactions between ClpF and the Clp substrate glutamate t-RNA reductase (GluTR1) are demonstrated. Quantitative proteomics identified subtle molecular phenotype in a ClpF null mutant and we show that GluTR1 degradation is delayed in ClpF and ClpS1 Arabidopsis null mutants.

Project description:The isogenic Mtb:ΔRv2745c mutant is significantly more sensitive normoxia conditions after a period of hypoxia, relative to wild-type Mtb, implicating a role for ClgR in response to reactivation, in vivo. Both hypoxia and reaeration treatment led to dysregulation of the σH regulon in the isogenic mutant, Mtb:ΔRv2745c. Induction of clgR in Mtb did lead to Clp protease induction, indicating that clgR plays a role in differntially activating downstream genes in a condition dependent manner. Disruption of genes involved in the dosR regulon, the Enduring Hypoxia Response, lipid synthesis, and mycolic acid synthesis also occurred in the knock out, implicating clgR as a possible regulator of downstream signaling cascades that facilitate Mtb survival. There was also a differnetial response of genes that are known Clp protease targets, in addition to potential Clp protease targets that had similar induction patterns as known Clp protease targets.

At different time points, following hypoxia (day 1, day 5, and day 7) and reaeration (1 hour, 4 hour, 6 hour, 12 hour, 24 hour, and 48 hour) treatments M. tuberculosis CDC1551 cultures, RNA was extracted and labeled with Cy5. RNA was also extracted from pre-hypoxia (t=0) time points and labeled with Cy3. These samples were cohybridized on M. tuberculosis CDC1551 whole genome microarrays using biological triplicate samples (i.e. samples derived from three distinct cultures and treatments) and thus three unique datasets were generated for each of the three time points for Mtb. Similar experiments were performed for an isogenic Rv2745c (clgR) mutant in Mtb CDC1551 which was generated by allelic exchange.

Project description:The YPEL family genes are highly conserved across a diverse range of eukaryotic organisms and thus potentially involved in essential cellular processes. Ypel4, one of five YPEL family gene orthologs in mouse and human, is highly and specifically expressed in late terminal erythroid differentiation. In this study, we investigated the role of Ypel4 in murine erythropoiesis, providing for the first time an in-depth description of a Ypel4-null phenotype in vivo. We demonstrated that the Ypel4-null mice displayed a secondary polycythemia with macro- and reticulocytosis. While lack of Ypel4 did not affect steady-state erythropoiesis in the bone marrow or spleen, the anemia-recovering capacity of Ypel4-null cells was diminished. Furthermore, Ypel4-null red blood cells (RBC) were cleared from the circulation at an increased rate, demonstrating an intrinsic defect of RBCs. Scanning electron micrographs revealed an ovalocytic morphology of Ypel4-null RBCs and functional testing confirmed reduced deformability. Even though Band 3 protein levels were shown to be reduced in Ypel4-null RBC membranes, we could not find support for a physical interaction between YPEL4 and the Band 3 protein. In conclusion, our findings provide crucial insights into the role of Ypel4 in preserving normal red cell membrane functionality.

Project description:Every cyanobacterial species contains gene encoding site-2-protease (S2P) homolog. The studied prokaryotic S2P homologs play essential roles in regulating stress response through intramembrane proteolysis of membrane-bound anti-sigma factors. Here, gene of Slr0643, one of four S2P homologs in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, was insertionally disrupted to explore its physiological role. Only a partially segregated mutant was obtained, indicating its indispensability for growth. The partially disrupted mutant could not grow at pH 6.5, while wild type acclimated to pH 6.5 quickly. The slr0643 gene expression was transiently induced after pH transfer from 7.5 to 6.5. Both evidences demonstrated the pivotal role of fully functional Slr0643 in acid acclimation. DNA microarray and quantitative RT-PCR analyses decoded genes involved in early acid acclimation and revealed differentially expressed genes due to slr0643 disruption at both pH conditions. Early acid acclimation to pH 6.5 included upregulation of sigH, hik16 and hik35, and downregulation of pcrR and sigG; as well as downregulation of porins and upregulation of inorganic carbon and nitrogen transporters. Defective photosynthesis and excess expression of NADH dehydrogenase, together with over upregulation of carbon transporter and repression of nitrogen transporter and metabolism gene contributed to the acid lethality of mutant at pH 6.5. Most interestingly, analysis of microarray data revealed the close relationship between slr0643 disruption and expression of sigH operon. Therefore it was implied that Slr0643/Sll0857/SigH might acts through S2P/anti-Sigma factor/Sigma factor mechanism to play a role in acid acclimation. M-bM-^@M-^C Loop design was used to compare differential expression of wild type and mutant at pH 7.5 and pH 6.5 respectively, including dye-swape. Biological variation was sampled by extracting RNA from three independent experiments and pooling them together before hybridizations. Two or four replicate chips for each comparison and two replicate printings per chip represent technical repeats.

Project description:The decline in sperm function is a major cause of human male infertility. Glutaminase, a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of glutamine to generate glutamate, takes part in many diverse biological processes such as neurotransmission, metabolism, and cellular senescence. Here we report a role of glutaminase in regulating sperm function. By generating a triple mutant that harbors a loss-of-function allele for each of all three mammalian glutaminase orthologs, we found that glutaminase gene activity is required for optimal C. elegans sperm function. Tissue-specific gene manipulations showed that germline glutaminase activity plays an important role. Moreover, transcriptional profiling and antioxidant treatment suggested that glutaminase promotes sperm function by maintaining cellular redox homeostasis. As maintaining a low level of ROS is crucial to human sperm function, it is very likely that glutaminase plays a similar role in humans and therefore can be a potential target for treating human male infertility.

Project description:Pseudoautosomal regions (PAR1 and PAR2) in eutherians retain homologous regions between the X and Y chromosomes that play a critical role in the obligatory X-Y crossover during male meiosis. Genes that reside in the PAR1 are exceptional in that they are rich in repetitive sequences and undergo a very high rate of recombination. Remarkably, murine PAR1 homologs have translocated to various autosomes, reflecting the complex recombination history during the evolution of the mammalian X chromosome. We now report that the SNF2-type chromatin remodeling protein ATRX controls the expression of eutherians ancestral PAR1 genes that have translocated to autosomes in the mouse. In addition, we have identified two potentially novel mouse PAR1 orthologs. We propose that the ancestral PAR1 genes share a common epigenetic environment that allows ATRX to control their expression. At E13.5, n = 3 biological replicates of littermate-matched wt/ko pairs. RNA from 2 forebrains were pooled to generate enough RNA for each sample. At P0.5, n = 4 biological replicates of littermate-matched wt/ko pairs (for pair #2 there is one wt and 2 Atrx-null samples (2A & 2B) and we count this as 2 pairs).
