Project description:We created a mutator protein. The mutator, was prepared by fusing a PmCDA1 (Petromyzon marinus Cytidine DeAminase) and E.coli RNA polymerase alpha subunit(EcoRNAP alpha). After 120 cycles, whole genome sequencing was performed on the wild type and evolved sample. After characterization of the mutation capacity of our mutator, we evolved a sucrose utilization strain and we sequenced Suc strain.
Project description:We applied ChIP-seq to identify genome wide binding targets of NsrR in E.coli CFT073. NsrR is a nitric oxide sensitive regulator of transcription. Genome wide binding targets of NsrR have been identified in E.coli K12 using ChIP-chip. The genome of CFT073 is about 0.6Mb larger than that of K12. In this study, we identify the novel NsrR binding sites in CFT073.
Project description:We developed AzG as a new nucleoside analog to metabolic label eukaryotic RNAs. Here, we analyzed gene expression of E.coli K12 treated with and without AzG to confirm that AzG doesn’t affect transcription at transcriptome level.

Genome wide binding targets of NsrR have been identified in E.coli K12 using ChIP-chip. The genome of CFT073 is about 0.6Mb larger than that of K12. In this study, we identify the novel NsrR binding sites in CFT073. The nsrR gene was modified by the addition of DNA sequences encoding a C-terminal 3X-Flag tag, and the tagged gene was integrated into the chromosome. NsrR bound DNA was isolated by chromatin immunoprecipitation and it was sequenced using Miseq platform.
