Project description:The whiH gene is required for the differentiation of aerial hyphae into spores in Streptomyces species. It is a predicted member of the GntR family of transcription factors and has been shown to bind specifically to a sequence in its own promoter. This ChIP-Seq experiment was carried out to determine all the binding sites whiH binds to in the genome of Streptomyces venezuelae. A whiH deletion strain was made and a FLAG tagged whiH protein was expressed in it from a genome-integrated plasmid. Then anti-FLAG antibodies were used for chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high throughput sequencing. The wild type Streptomyces venezuelae strain (ATCC 10712) was used as a negative control. For both the FLAG-WhiH strain and the WT strain, non-immunoprecipitated (total) DNA was also sequenced to arrive at a background enrichment which could be subtracted from the enrichment in the immunoprecipated sample.
Project description:We isolated and sequenced mRNA from Streptomyces venezuelae grown on two different solid media that promote exploratory behaviour in this bacterial species. The data was analyzed using DeSeq2 to identify genes that undergo changes in expression over time as well as differences in gene expression patterns between the two media conditions.

Project description:We studied the binding of SMC protein to Streptomyces venezuelae chromosome during development of aerial hyphae (14 hour of growth) using SMC-FLAG protein. Additionally investigated the role of ParB protein in SMC DNA binding using parB deletion strain.
Project description:We studied the binding of HupS protein to Streptomyces venezuelae chromosome during development of aerial hyphae (14 hour of growth) using HupS-FLAG protein. Additionally investigated the role of SMC protein in HupS DNA binding using smc deletion strain.
