Project description:Digital gene expression profiling (DGE) was used to compare the responses of Penicillium decumbens strains to different carbon sources including glucose, cellulose and cellulose-wheat bran. In both wild-type strain 114-2 and cellulase hyperproducing mutant JU-A10-T, transcription of lignocellulolytic enzymes were significantly up-regulated in the presense of cellulose. Relative to 114-2, coordinated up-regulation of lignocellulolytic enzymes and down-regulation of amylases and proteases were observed in JU-A10-T, especially in the cellulose-wheat bran medium. The expression of the principal β-glucosidase BGLI gene was not elevated in JU-A10-T, like the cellulases and hemicellulases, suggesting a different regulatory mechanism for this enzyme. Functional analysis of genes up-regulated in JU-A10-T relative to 114-2 also showed enrichment of proteins involved in amino acid synthesis, protein synthesis, and post-translational modification, compatible with the higher level of production of secreted proteins in JU-A10-T.
Project description:RNA-seq was used to compare differential gene expressions for Penicillium oxalicum wild type strain (M12) and sporognesis related genes knock out strains.The goals of this study are to construct the sporogenesis regulation pathway of Penicillium oxalicum. Examination of differential gene expressions by digital gene expression tag profiling in Penicillium oxalicum wild type strain and nine mutant strains (flbA knoutout strain, flbB knoutout strain, flbC knoutout strain, flbD knoutout strain, flbE knoutout strain,wetA knoutout strain, abaA knoutout strain,stuA knoutout strain, swi6 knoutout strain)

Project description:The goals of this study are to compare differential gene expressions for Penicillium oxalicum wild type strain (WT), and laeA knockout strain (ΔlaeA) in different development phase. The deletion of laeA downregulated genes involved in oxidation- reduction process, alkaloid metabolic process, and transmembrane transport. We find the expression levels of seven secondary metabolism gene clusters (totally 28 clusters) were silenced inΔlaeA. This study provides the information that laeA function are required in conidiation and hydrolase activity of P. oxalicum. Examination of differential gene expressions by digital gene expression tag profiling in Penicillium oxalicum wild type strain and laeA knockout mutant strains in 24h and 60h in modified Czapek culture medium with 2% glucose as carbon resource. qRT–PCR validation was performed using SYBR Green assays.
Project description:The goals of this study are to compare differential gene expressions for Penicillium oxalicum wild type strain (WT), laeA knockout strain (M-NM-^TlaeA), creA knockout strain (M-NM-^TcreA), and double genes knockout strain (M-NM-^TlaeAM-NM-^TcreA). The deletion of laeA downregulated genes involved in oxidation- reduction process, alkaloid metabolic process, and transmembrane transport. We find the expression levels of seven secondary metabolism gene clusters (totally 28 clusters) were silenced inM-NM-^TlaeA. The deletion of creA upregulated genes involved in hydrolase activity, acting on glycosyl bonds. Many genes involved in conidiation were drastically regulated inM-NM-^TlaeAM-NM-^TcreA. This study provides the information that combined laeA and creA function are required in conidiation and hydrolase activity of P. oxalicum. Examination of differential gene expressions by digital gene expression tag profiling in Penicillium oxalicum wild type strain and three mutant strains (laeA knockout strain, creA knockout strain and double genes knockout strain). qRTM-bM-^@M-^SPCR validation was performed using SYBR Green assays.
