Project description:Cultivation in maltose minimal media and sampling at different time point (t2 = 96h; t3=118h; t4 = 142h; t5 = 166h) of Actinoplanes sp. SE50/110 empty vector control and Actinoplanes sp. SE50/110 ACSP50_0507 overxepression mutant. RNAseq material and methods
Project description:The acarviose metabolite acarbose is an a glucosidase inhibitor produced by Actinoplanes sp. SE50/110. It is medically important because it is used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. In this work a comprehensive proteome analysis of Actinoplanes sp. SE50/110 was carried out. The associated txt and RAW files were used for two different analyses and publications. While one study focused on a comparative analysis of Actinoplanes sp. SE50/110 to elucidate differences in the proteome cultures that were grown with either maltose or glucose, the other study applied spectral counting and analyzed only the maltose-grown cultures to determine the major proteins and their location in the cell. The txt files for the comparative data are labeled as "heavy_light" and of the spectral counting data as "light". Both datasets were derived from the same RAW files.
Project description:The whole coding RNA of Actinoplanes sp. SE50/110 mutants containing two different integrative vectors (pSET152::acbB and pSETT4::acbB) were sequenced. Both vectors are integrated via a phiC31 integrase (Bierman et al. 1992) into the genetic locus ACSP50_6589 (former: acpl_6602) (Gren et al. 2016). The novel expression vector pSETT4 is excelled by an easy cloning mechanism allowing the integration of different promoters. By this, the system can be quickly adapted to further species of the order Actinomycetales. Additionally, T4-terminators were introduced before and after the expression cassette, since they are able to block the transcription efficiently and prevent antisense formation and read-through from the integrase gene into the gene of interest.
Project description:HEK 293 cells were transiently transfected with plasmids expressing Vector only(PCMV), Aire, or MBD-VP16 with the goal of comparing the global gene expression profiles in the Aire and MBD-VP16 groups We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression profile.

HEK 293 cells were transiently transfected with plasmids expressing Vector only(PCMV), Aire, or MBD-VP16 and 72 hrs post transfection total RNA was collected for microarray analysis.
Project description:Transient plasmid transfection is common approach for studies in cultured mammalian cells. To examine behavior of transfected plasmids, we analyzed their transcriptional landscape by deep sequencing. We found that plasmids generate different levels of transcripts virtually everywhere. Spurious transcription may have undesirable effects as some co-transfected plasmids inhibited expression of luciferase reporters in a dose-dependent manner. In one case, we attributed this effect to kan/neo resistance cassette, which generated a unique population of edited sense and antisense small RNAs. The unexpected complexity of expression of transiently transfected plasmids highlights the importance of appropriate experimental controls.
