Project description:mRNA levels were measured in Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 at 20% O2 and 0.5% O2, Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 App11 (AppA-null), Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 (pPNs) and PpsR mutant PPS2-4. The mRNA samples were prepared from cultures supplied with 20% O2, 1% CO2, and 79% N2, and grown in the dark to an OD of 0.18. The mRNA levels for each strain was measured three times. Keywords: repeat sample
Project description:In this study, we performed a ChIP-chip experiment to determine the regulon of FnrL in Rhodobacter sphaeroides. We grew R. sphaeroides under anaerobic photosnthetic conditions, in which FnrL is expected to bind DNA and contol gene expression, and immuno-precipitated FnrL, but also sigma70 and the Beta' subunits of RNA polymerase to determine transcription activity.

Project description:In Rhodobacter sphaeroides a transcriptional response to the reactive oxygen species singlet oxygen is controlled by the group IV sigma factor RpoE and the anti-sigma factor ChrR. In this study, we integrated various large datasets to identify genes within the singlet oxygen stress response that contain RpoE-dependent promoters within R. sphaeroides. Transcript pattern clustering and a RpoE-binding sequence model were used to predict candidate promoters that respond to singlet oxygen stress in R. sphaeroides. These candidate promoters were experimentally validated to nine R. sphaeroides RpoE-dependent promoters that control the transcription of 15 genes activated by singlet oxygen.
