Project description:To evaluate role of PRC2 on transcriptional regulation in Cyanidioschyzon merolae, we generated loss of function mutants of a Ez homolog in Cyanidioschyzon merolae by homologous recombination based mutagenesis. Then we performed comparative transcriptome analyses using data obtained from Cme(z) and WT.
Project description:Cyanidioschyzon merolae is a thermophilic red alga with an optimum growth temperature of 42°C. In this study we investigated the acclimation process of the alga to a colder temperature (25°C). To this aim we performed quantitative proteomic analyses of whole cells as well as solubilized thylakoid protein complexes.
