Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in cultures of Polaromonas sp. JS666 grown on cDCE compared to the reference substrate glycolate. JS666 is the first organism isolated capable of coupling growth to the aerobic oxidation of the chlorinated solvent, cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cDCE).

Project description:JAB1 is a regulator of ubiquitin mediated protein degradation upstream of the 26S proteasome. JAB1 regulates the ubiquitin proteasome system through controlling the activity of the largest family of E3 ubiquitin ligases, the Cullin-RING Ligases. JAB1 is also a transcriptional co-factor contolling the expression of numerous genes and regulates musculoskeletal development in vivo. It is reported that JAB1 is overexpressed in many cancers, making it a potential oncogene. Thus, JAB1 has a highly spatiotemporal specific role in development and cancer pathogenesis. This study aims to determine the JAB1-mediated transcriptome that exists in osteosarcoma cells.
Project description:Dehalococcoides mccartyi strain BTF08 has the unique property to couple complete dechlorination of tetrachloroethene and 1,2-dichloroethane to ethene with growth by using the halogenated compounds as terminal electron acceptor. The genome of strain BTF08 encodes 20 genes for reductive dehalogenase homologous proteins (RdhA) including those described for dehalogenation of tetrachloroethene (PceA, PteA), trichloroethene (TceA) and vinyl chloride (VcrA). Thus far it is unknown under which conditions the different RdhAs are expressed, what their substrate specificity is and if different reaction mechanisms are employed. Here we found by proteomic analysis from differentially activated batches that PteA and VcrA were expressed during dechlorination of tetrachloroethene to ethene, while TceA was expressed during 1,2-dichloroethane dehalogenation. Carbon and chlorine compound-specific stable isotope analysis suggested distinct reaction mechanisms for the dechlorination of (i) cis-dichloroethene and vinyl chloride and (ii) tetrachloroethene. This differentiation was observed independent of the expressed RdhA proteins. Differently, two stable isotope fractionation patterns were observed for 1,2-dichloroethane transformation, for cells with distinct RdhA inventories. Conclusively, we could link specific RdhA expression with functions and provide an insight into the apparently substrate-specific reaction mechanisms in the pathway of reductive dehalogenation in D. mccartyi strain BTF08.
