Project description:Transcriptome sequencing was carried out on an Illumina HiSeq platform to investigate the activation of CRISPR-Cas and DNA repair systems by Csa3a in Sulfolobus islandicus Rey15A. We compared the differently expressed genes in Sulfolobus islandicus Rey15A strain with csa3a overexpression vs. Sulfolobus islandicus Rey15A strain carrying an empty expression vector, cas1 deletion strain with csa3a overexpression vs. cas1 deletion strain carrying an empty expression vector, as well as interference-deficient strain with csa3a overexpression vs. interference-deficient strain carrying an empty expression vector. We find that cas genes (SiRe_0760, SiRe_0761, SiRe_0762, SiRe_0763), nucleotidyltransferase domain of DNA polymerase beta (SiRe_0459), chromosome segregation protein (SMC)-related ATPase (SiRe_0649), SMC-related protein (SiRe_1142) and three HerA helicases involved in DNA double break repair (encoded by SiRe_0064 and SiRe_0095 of nurA-herA operons, and SiRe_1857) were significantly up-regulated. Our data indicated that the Csa3a regulator couples transcriptional activation of spacer acquisition genes, CRISPR RNA transcription, DNA repair and genome stability genes.
Project description:Cultivation and genomic analysis of Candidatus Nitrosocaldus islandicus, a novel obligately thermophilic ammonia-oxidizing thaumarchaeon
Project description:The dataset provides the whole proteome of the anammox bacterium "Candidatus Kuenenia Stuttgartiensis" strain CSTR1 growing planctonically in semi-CSTR reactor. The bacteria were growing at high growth rate (0.33 d-1) (reactor HRT 3d).
