Project description:Within a GRO experiment, samples for Transcription rate (TR) analysis were taken at 0, 4, 11, 16, 26 and 40 minutes after heat stress (from 25ºC to 37ºC) and subjected to run-on. Analysis was done in filters also used for RA analysis of aliquots from the same cultures.
Project description:Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been widely used as a model system for studying genomic instability. In this study, heat-shock-induced genomic alterations were explored in the heterozygous diploid yeast strain JSC25-1. In combination of the whole-genome microarray, the patterns of chromosomal instability induced by heat shock could also be explored at a whole genome level. Using this system, we found heat-shock treatment resulted in hundreds-fold higher rate of genomic alterations, including aneuploidy and loss of heterozygosity (LOH).
Project description:Ambient temperature is one of the most important environment factors that direct all organisms for morphogenesis, metabolisms and growth. Plants have evolved efficient mechanisms adapting temperature fluctuation such as heat stress response (HSR). Although transcriptional regulatory network of plant HSR has been established, little is known on the genome-wide transcriptional changes within first several minutes upon heat shock (HS). To precisely measure the very first wave of transcriptional response to HS, we investigated the nascent RNA and mature mRNA from plant leaf tissue exposure to 5-min HS treatment using global run-on sequencing (GRO-seq) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) methods. We found that only a small group of genes were both up- or down-regulated at nascent RNA and mRNA levels. Primed plants that already exposed to a mild heat stress induced a more drastic transcriptomic alteration than naïve plants which had not experienced a heat stress. Group A1 HEAT SHOCK TRANSCRIPTION FACTORs (HsfA1s) are the major transcription factors in charge of the very early transcriptional HSR. Within 5-minute HS, we also observed that: 1) Engaged RNA polymerase II (Pol II) was accumulated downstream of transcription start sites; 2) 5' pause-release is a rate limiting step for induction of some heat shock protein genes; 3) A good number of genes switched transcription modes; 4) Pervasive read-through was induced at terminators. Plants' HSR is transcriptionally very quick. GRO-seq is sensitive and robust to detect quick response to HS. Heat stress memory takes place at multiple steps of transcription cycles such as Pol II recruitment, 5' pausing, elongation and termination.

Analysis was done in filters also used for RA analysis of aliquots from the same cultures. The analysis includes 3 repeats of stress treatment of the W3030-1a strain. The same times were used for sampling in each repeat of the experiment. A single genomic DNA hybridization on every one of the filters is used for normalization between gene probes.

Project description:RNA polymerase II is decreased on heat shock-induced genes when the CTD phosphatase Fcp1 is knocked down in Drosophila S2 cells. We examined transcriptionally-engaged Pol II genome-wide with GRO-seq to determine if other genes are similarly affected.
