Project description:The whole regulon of the LTTR All3953 was determined at 3 h after Ci deficiency in the cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 by ChIP-Seq analysis. A TAP-tagged version of the protein was used for the chromatin immunoprecipitation. A total of 142 peaks were found, mainly located in the chromosome of Anabaena.
Project description:Here, we report the comparison of transcriptomes of Anabaena sp. PCC7120 and the FurB(Zur) deletion derivative strain (MN38). Anabaena sp PCC7120 is a cyanobacterium that differentiates specialized nitrogen-fixing cells called heterocysts and that is capable of forming biofilms. Our data showed that the deletion of FurB negativily affected the heterocyst development and the biofilm formation. In addition, the RNA-seq data together with gel retardation assays unveiled that FurB is directly involved in the regulation of several genes related to heterocyst development and biofilm formation and other novel functions different from the ones related to the canonical Zur regulon.
Project description:Here, we report the transcriptome of Anabaena sp. strain 7120, a cyanobacterium that forms specialized nitrogen-fixing cells called heterocysts. Our data suggests that cyanobacteria frequently have more complex transcripts than thought, with large 5' UTRs, numerous antisense transcripts, and multiple transcriptional start sites or processing sites.

Our data suggests that cyanobacteria frequently have more complex transcripts than thought, with large 5' UTRs, numerous antisense transcripts, and multiple transcriptional start sites or processing sites. Four samples of total filament RNA were sequenced with Illumina 40bp reads using directional RNA sequencing (see the Illumina small RNA prep protocol). The samples are 0hr (vegetative cells grown in the presence of ammonia) and 6hr, 12hr, and 21hr cells (after nitrogen step down).
Project description:In order to examine the response of Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 to an infection of the Cyanophage A1, we have used customized microarrays to identify genes potentially up- or downregulated by the infection. For this we compared cell culture before and after infection.
Project description:Here, we report the comparison of transcriptomes of Anabaena sp. PCC7120 and a FurC-overexpressing derivative strain grown under standard conditions (BG11) and after 48 hours of nitrogen step-down (BG110). Anabaena sp PCC7120 is a cyanobacterium that differentiates specialized nitrogen-fixing cells called heterocysts. Our data suggests that FurC directly controls the regulation of heterocyst differentiation and nitrogen fixation in this cyanobacterium. In addition, we found that FurC is also clearly involved in the regulation of several genes belonging to different functional categories, such as iron metabolism, photosynthesis and regulatory functions.
Project description:To examine Alr3614 influence on the expression of Anabaena sp. PCC 7120, we have used customized microarrays to identify genes potentially regulated by this short DNA-binding protein. We compared the expression of an Alr3614-deletion strain with an Alr3614-complementation strain.
Project description:Total RNA was extracted from Anabaena 7120, hetZ mutant and hetP mutant at 24 h after nitrogen stepdown with two independent biological replicates. To maintain the integrity of coding RNAs, total RNA were sequenced without ribosomal RNA elimination. Strand-specific RNA-Seq libraries were prepared and sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq 2500 sequencing instrument to generate paired-end reads with length of 125 bp.
