Project description:Transcriptional and translational profiling of R. sphaeroides WT 2.4.1 under singlet oxygen stress compared to control (no stress) conditions RNA samples collected at time-point zero and at different time-points after singlet oxygen stress were analyzed by two-color microarrays
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of R. sphaeroides delta-cryB compared to control R. sphaeroides 2.4.1 under photo-oxidative stress, aerobic conditions. Two-strain experiment under 20' photo-oxidative stress (singlet oxygen generated by methylene blue under high light illumination) and aerobic (180 µM) conditions
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.
