Project description:Comparative RNA-Seq profiling of Sideroxydans sp. CL21, a microaerophilic, Fe(II)-oxidizer, and the facultative anaerobe Shewanella oneidensis, an Fe(III) reducer. The microorganisms were grown in co-culture and monoculture batch incubations under microaerobic growth conditions. RNA-Seq profiling was used to compare the transcriptomes of both Sideroxydans sp. CL21 and S. oneidensis when grown in co-culture compared to growth in monoculture
Project description:Low iron (Fe) bioavailability can limit the biosynthesis of Fe-containing proteins, which are especially abundant in photosynthetic organisms, thus negatively affecting global primary productivity. Understanding cellular coping mechanisms under Fe limitation is therefore of great interest. We surveyed the temporal responses of Chlamydomonas (Chlamydomonas reinhardtii) cells transitioning from an Fe-rich to an Fe-free medium to document their short- and long-term adjustments. While slower growth, chlorosis and lower photosynthetic parameters are evident only after one or more days in Fe-free medium, the abundance of some transcripts, such as those for genes encoding transporters and enzymes involved in Fe assimilation, change within minutes, before changes in intracellular Fe content are noticeable, suggestive of a sensitive mechanism for sensing Fe. Promoter reporter constructs indicate a transcriptional component to this immediate primary response. With acetate provided as a source of reduced carbon, transcripts encoding respiratory components are maintained relative to transcripts encoding components of photosynthesis and tetrapyrrole biosynthesis, indicating metabolic prioritization of respiration over photosynthesis. In contrast to the loss of chlorophyll, carotenoid content is maintained under Fe limitation despite a decrease in the transcripts for carotenoid biosynthesis genes, indicating carotenoid stability. These changes occur more slowly, only after the intracellular Fe quota responds, indicating a phased response in Chlamydomonas, involving both primary and secondary responses during acclimation to poor Fe nutrition.
Project description:We reported the flg22-triggered immune responses in roots affect the iron deficiency responses and may link to the function of FLS2 and IMA1 in the root. To identify the underlying mechanism of how the root transcriptome profiles respond to +Fe, +Fe+flg22, -Fe, -Fe+flg22 respectively, and if the flg22 responses is dependent on the function of FLS2 and IMA1 in the root, we performed an mRNA-seq experiments in Col-0, fls2 and UBQ10::mCitrine-IMA1 with different treatments. The differentially expressed genes in response to +Fe, +Fe+flg22, -Fe, -Fe+flg22 were analyzed. It has 36 samples in total, with 3 biogical replicates for each condition and each genotype.
Project description:au13-06_fit - Fe-FIT-Diff - FIT (FER-LIKE IRON DEFICIENCY-INDUCED TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR) is a regulator of Fe deficiency responses in the root. FIT is a basic helix-loop-helix protein. Here, we investigated the transcriptome changes in response to Fe deficiency (- Fe) versus the control condition (+ Fe) in wild type, the fit-3 loss of function mutant and in FIT overexpression plants.
Project description:au10-14_fer - response of ein3eil1 mutants to fe deficiency - Response of ein3eil1 mutants to Fe deficiency - Wild type seedlings and ethylene insensitive ein3eil1 seedlings were germinated and grown in the presence of 50 µM Fe or absence of Fe (0 µM) on Hoagland medium agar plates until the age of 6 days. Under these growth conditions symptoms of Fe deficiency develop in the 0 Fe plants. Ethylene is known to promote Fe acquisition responses. Whole seedlings were harvested for transcriptome analysis, in a total of three biological replicates.
Project description:Fe deficiency stimulates a coordinated response involving reduction, transport and redistribution of Fe in the roots. The expression of genes regulated by Fe deficiency in the two contrasting Arabidopsis thaliana ecotypes, Tsu-1 and Kas-1, shows that different ecotypes can respond in diverse ways, with different Fe regulated overrepresented categories. We use microarrays to analyze the Fe deficiency responses of contrasting Arabidopsis thaliana ecotypes (Tsu-1 and Kas-1).
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of R. sphaeroides Δirr under iron limitation (-Fe) compared to control R. sphaeroides Δirr under normal growth conditions (+Fe).
Project description:The Arabidopsis thaliana Myb transcription factor, FE, acts as a key regulator of phase transition. In order to identify potential target genes of FE protein, we performed microarray experiments. Using fe-1 and transgenic plants overexpressing GR-tagged FE (35S::FE-GR), we compared transcriptional profiling of WT (L.er) vs fe-1 and Dex-treated 35S::FE-GR vs Mock-treated 35S::FE-GR. Transcriptional profiling of A. thaliana comparing WT (L.er) with the fe-1 mutant
