Project description:To investigate the effect of Tup1, Xbp1, Isw2, and Sds3 on H3K23acc we generated knockout strains and measured H3K23ac levels during stationary phase.
Project description:To investigate the effect of Tup1, Xbp1, Isw2, and Sds3 on transcription we generated knockout strains and measured their transcript abundance compared to wild type during diauxic shift and stationary phase.
Project description:A pairwise comparison was performed between stationary phase specific samples and mid-log samples using four replicates and dye-swaps
Project description:As the foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes has the ability to grow at refrigeration temperatures, whole-genome microarray experiments were performed using L. monocytogenes strain 10403S to define the cold stress regulon and to identify genes differentially expressed during growth at 4°C and 37°C. Microarray analysis using a stringent cutoff (adjusted p<0.001; fold-change >2.0) revealed 105 and 170 genes that showed higher transcript levels in logarithmic- and stationary-phase cells, respectively, at 4°C (compared to cells at 37°C). A total of 74 and 102 genes showed lower transcript levels in logarithmic- and stationary-phase cells grown at 4°C, respectively. Genes upregulated at 4°C during both stationary- and log-phase included those encoding a two-component response regulator (lmo0287), a cold shock protein (cspL), and two RNA helicases (lmo0866 and lmo1722), whereas genes encoding selected virulence factors and heat shock proteins were downregulated at 4°C. Selected genes that were upregulated at 4°C during both stationary- and log-phase were confirmed by quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR. Our data show (i) a large number of L. monocytogenes genes are differentially expressed at 4 and 37°C with a larger number of genes showing higher transcript level at 4°C than genes showing lower transcript levels at 4°C; (ii) L. monocytogenes genes upregulated at 4°C include a number of genes and operons with previously reported or plausible roles in cold adaptation; and (iii) L. monocytogenes genes downregulated at 4°C include a number of virulence and virulence-associated genes as well as some heat shock genes.

Project description:To obtain a global view of the response of S. flexneri at the expression level induced by temperature up-shift, we compared the expression profiles of log-phase and stationary-phase cells grown at 30 degrees and 37 degrees Celsius.
Project description:Transcription analysis of ΔpknK mutant (LIX11) versus wild type H37Rv during logarithmic and stationary phase growth. This will elucidate the genes regulated by PknK during transition from logarithmic growth to stationary phase growth.
Project description:Microarray analysis was performed to determine if the growth-dependent gene expression changes occurred on a global scale for B. bronchiseptica strains RB50, RB53, and RB54. For this analysis cDNA representing three distinct phases of growth: mid-log phase (15H), late-log phase (24H), and late-stationary phase (48H) were directly compared.
