Project description:Histone acetylation during seed germination
Project description:Histone acetylation is involved in the regulation of gene expression in plants and eukaryotes. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are enzymes that catalyze the removal of acetyl groups from histones, which is associated with the repression of gene expression. To study the role of histone acetylation in the regulation of gene expression during seed germination, trichostatin A (TSA), a specific inhibitor of histone deacetylase, was used to treat imbibing Arabidopsis thaliana seeds. GeneChip arrays were used to show that TSA induces up-regulation of 45 genes and down-regulation of 27 genes during seed germination. Eight TSA-up-regulated genes were selected for further analysis - RAB18, RD29B, ATEM1, HSP70 and four late embryogenesis abundant protein genes (LEA). A gene expression time course shows that these eight genes are expressed at high levels in the dry seed and repressed upon seed imbibition at an exponential rate. In the presence of TSA, the onset of repression of the eight genes is not affected but the final level of repressed expression is elevated. Chromatin immunoprecipitation and HDAC assays show that there is a transient histone deacetylation event during seed germination at one day after imbibition, which serves as a key developmental signal that affects the repression of the eight genes. Experiment Overall Design: Two samples (TSA-treated v.s. untreated). Two replicates for each sample.
Project description:Homeostasis of histone acetylation and the control of transcription. Involvement of histone acetyl transferase HAG4 in the root development.<br> hag4 mutant (with a insertion in HAG4 gene encoding a Histone Acetyl Transferase) and wild-type ecotype (Ws) were grown during 15 days, in vitro. RNA were extrated from roots of seedlings. Each sample (ws or hag4) corresponds to a pool of 3 independant cultures and harvesting. <br>
