Project description:Genome wide H3K27ac CHIP sequencing was performed in the ER positive breast cancer cell line MCF7 cultured in serine-free media for 24h, with or without supplementation with 2 mM glycerol triacetate.
Project description:We cultured the ER negative breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 and the ER positive breast cancer cell line MCF7 in serine-free media for 24h. RNA was extracted from the cells and submitted for RNA sequencing.
Project description:Primary hematopoietic cells were transformed by retrovirally transduced MLL-ENL. The resulting cell population was either cultured in full medium or under starvation conditions without serine and glycine. In addition a spontaneously arising ser/gly starvation resistant clone was included in this experiment. Nascent RNA was isolated by labeling cells for 1h with 4-thio-uridine and subsequent biotinylation of labeled RNA followed by streptavidin chromatography as described in Garcia-Cuellar et al.

Project description:We report the discovery of a simple environmental sensing mechanism for biofilm formation in the bacterium Bacillus subtilis that operates without the involvement of a dedicated RNA or protein. Certain serine codons, the four UCN codons, in the gene for the biofilm repressor SinR caused a lowering of SinR levels under biofilm-inducing conditions. Synonymous substitutions of these UCN codons with AGC or AGU impaired biofilm formation and gene expression. Conversely, switching AGC or AGU to UCN codons upregulated biofilm formation. Genome-wide ribosome profiling showed that ribosomes paused longer at UCN codons than at AGC or AGU during biofilm formation. Serine starvation recapitulated the effect of biofilm-inducing conditions on ribosome pausing and SinR production. As serine is one of the first amino acids to be exhausted at the end of exponential phase growth, ribosome pausing at serine codons may be exploited by other microbes in adapting to stationary phase. 4 samples for ribosome profiling and 2 samples for total mRNA profiling
