Project description:Mesorhizobium metallidurans STM 2683 and Mesorhizobium sp. strain STM 4661 were isolated from nodules of the metallicolous legume Anthyllis vulneraria from distant mining spoils. They tolerate unusually high zinc and cadmium concentrations as compared to other mesorhizobia. This work aims to study the gene expression profiles associated with zinc or cadmium exposure and to identify genes involved in metal tolerance in these two metallicolous Mesorhizobium strains of interest for mine phytostabilization purposes.

Project description:The alphaproteobacterium Paracoccus denitrificans Pd1222 has two different, yet functionally redundant acetyl-CoA assimilation routes: the Ethylmalonyl-CoA pathway (EMCP) and the glyoxylate cycle (GC). The EMPC and the GC each tightly control the balance between catabolism and anabolism by shifting flux away from the oxidation of acetyl-CoA in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle towards biomass formation. RamB (encoded by Pden_1365), a member of the ScfR family, is a transcriptional regulator in P. denitrificans Pd1222 that controls expression of GC. To analyze the role of RamB in the coordinated regulation of metabolic plasticity, we analyzed the global transcriptome of P. denitrificans Pd1222, as well as the ramB-deletion strain during mid-exponential growth phase on defined minimal medium with acetate or succinate as carbon sources.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Paracoccus denitrificans PD1222 wild type grown to mid-exponential phase in minimal media with either 13 uM (Cu-H) or 0.5 uM (Cu-L) Cu regimes. The goal was to define the effects of Cu-limitation on denitrification genes Two growth conditions, three biological replicates of each condition. Each sample hybridised in a two-channel hybridization against Paracoccus denitrificans genomic DNA as the comparator/reference, which also acted as a control for spot quality. Cu-concentration 13 uM (Cu-H) versus 0.5 uM Cu (Cu-L) in anaerobic growth conditions.
Project description:We performed a RNA immunoprecipitations experiments using gfp-specific antibodies to precipitate gfp-tagged La proteins from from gfp-La wild type and sumoylation deficient La mutant (K41/200R) cells and found that specific mRNAs are preferentially enriched gfp-La wild type RIPs when compared to sumoylation deficient La mutant (K41/200R) RIPs.
