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.
Project description:Heterologous expression of a water soluble chlorophyll protein from Brassica oleracea var. gemmifera in the phototrophic purple bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides was verified by bottom-up proteomic analysis.
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE39711: RpoHI and RpoHII regulons in Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 from chromatin immuno-precipitation GSE39712: RpoHI and RpoHII regulons in Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 from gene expression profiling Refer to individual Series
Project description:In this study, we performed a ChIP-chip experiment to determine the respective regulons of RpoHI and RpoHII in Rhodobacter sphaeroides. We grew R. sphaeroides in aerobic conditions and induced either proteins ectopically and immuno-precipitated the regions of the genomic DNA interacting with the sigma factors.
Project description:In this study, we performed expression profiling experiments to determine the respective regulons of RpoHI and RpoHII in Rhodobacter sphaeroides. We grew R. sphaeroides in aerobic conditions and induced either proteins ectopically and compared the global gene expression profiles.
Project description:Data used in "Responses of the Rhodobacter sphaeroides Transcriptome to Blue Light Under Semiaerobic Conditions" paper. Cells are grown at 10% O2 (see detailed description in the paper and in the sample info). Keywords: time-course
Project description:DNA microarray analysis was employed to investigate the transcriptome response to nitrosative stress in a non-denitrifying facultative photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1. We focused on the role played by a nitric oxide-response transcriptional regulator NnrR in the response. The transcriptome profiles of R. sphaeroides 2.4.1 and its nnrR mutant before and after exposure to nitrosating agents S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) or sodium nitroprusside (SNP) under semiaerobic conditions were analyzed.
