Project description:The chromatin landscape was assessed in effector and memory T-cells obtained from wildtype and pyruvate dehydrogenase knockout mouse. Disruption of the metabolic processes involving pyruvate dehydrogenase can affect T-cell differentiation through epigenetic and metabolic mechanisms.
Project description:Deep-sequencing of the engineered production genes in five E coli production chassis strains (BL21(DE3), MG1655, TOP10, W and W3110) producing two case metabolic products, 2,3-butanediol and mevalonic acid
Project description:Aerial parts (AP) and roots of wild-type plants were compared with plastidial glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase double mutants (gapcp1gapcp2). These mutants were also compared with conditional mutants after GAPCp induction.
Project description:Modulation of metabolic flux through pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) plays an important role in T cell activation and differentiation. PDC sits at the transition between glycolysis and the tricarboxylic acid cycle and is a major producer of acetyl-CoA, marking it as a potential metabolic and epigenetic node. To understand the role of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex in T cell differentiation, we generated mice deficient in T cell pyruvate dehydrogenase E1A (Pdha) subunit using a CD4-cre recombinase-based strategy. Herein, we show that genetic ablation of PDC activity in T cells (TPdh-/-) leads to marked perturbations in glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and OXPHOS. Due to depressed OXPHOS, TPdh-/- T cells became dependent upon substrate level phosphorylation via glycolysis. Due to the block of PDC activity, histone acetylation was reduced, including H3K27, a critical site for CD8+ T cell memory differentiation. Transcriptional and functional profiling revealed abnormal CD8+ memory T cell differentiation in vitro. Collectively, our data indicate that PDC integrates the metabolome and epigenome in memory T cell differentiation. Targeting this metabolic and epigenetic node can have widespread ramifications on cellular function.
Project description:Escherichia coli DH1 cultures with treated with 6% 1,4 Butanediol for 1 hour and compared with untreated cultures The data from this experiment was used to identify a candidate for further study as described in Szmidt et al 2013 Utilizing a highly responsive gene, yhjX, in E. coli based production of 1,4-Butanediol submitted to Chemical Engineering Science 4x72k E.coli gene expression microarrays were used to study the genes that are differentialy expressed in the strain DH1 grown in defined medoin and exposed to 6% 1,4 Butanediol for one hour at mid-log growth stage.

Project description:Glud1 (glutamate dehydrogenase 1) transgenic mice release more excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate to synaptic cleft throughout lifespan and show signs of accelerated aging. Here we compared transcriptomic profiles of these animals to their wild-type counterparts. The hippocampus was used for the analysis. Keywords: transgenic analysis Three Glud1 transgenic mice vs. three age-matched wide-type mice. Age: 9-month-old. Tissue: hippocampus.
