Project description:Purpose: The goals of this study are to compare NGS-derived transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) from the SEEDSTICK mutant in Arabidopsis with a wild type, to unveil the role of this transcription factor in seed development and decipher the impact of this factor in PAs metabolism Methods: Total RNA was extracted from two biological replicates from both wild-type and stk mutant inflorescences and siliques until 5 DAP with the Qiagen Kit according to the manufacturer's instructions. DNA contaminations were removed using the PROMEGA RQ1 RNase-Free DNase according to the manufacturer's instructions. RNA quality integrity was analyzed by electrophoresis gel and was validated on a Bioanalyzer 2100 (Aligent, Santa Clara, CA); RNA Integrity Number (RIN) values were greater than 7 for all the samples. In order to confirm that in stk mutant samples STK was not expressed, STK expression was checked by real time PCR with primer RT 780 (5â??-TGCGATGCAGAAGTTGCGCTC-3â??) and RT 781 (5â??-AGTACGCGGCATTGATTTCTTG-3â??). Sequencing libraries were prepared according to the manufacturerâ??s instructions by TruSeq RNA Sample Prep kit (Illumina Inc.) and sequenced on Illumina HiSeq2000 in one lane single-read 50bp. The processing of fluorescent images into sequences, base-calling and quality value calculations were performed using the Illumina data processing pipeline (version 1.8). Raw reads were filtered to obtain high-quality reads by removing low-quality reads containing more than 30% bases with Q < 20. Finally, a quality control of the raw sequence data was performed using FastQC [http://www.bioinformatics.babraham.ac.uk/projects/fastqc/]. Results: A total of 102,278,242 reads passed a quality filter and 85% were mapped back to the Arabidopsis TAIR10 genome. Approximately 90% mapped uniquely to only one location and could be assigned to a single annotated TAIR10 gene. Normalization of expression values was performed using RPKM values. All other parameters were kept at default levels. The CLC Genomic Workbench was also further used to determine all differentially expressed transcripts found in each cDNA library. Baggerley's test and a FDR correction were used for statistical analysis of samples. Our analysis revealed that 156 genes were upregulated, whereas for 90 genes a reduction in their mRNA level was observed in the stk mutant when compared to wild-type . Data analysis revealed a significant enrichment for terms related to the phenylpropanoid metabolic process, flavonoid biosynthetic process as well as cellular amino acid derivative metabolic process. Conclusion: Our genome-wide transcriptomic analysis suggests that the ovule identity factor STK is involved in the regulation of several metabolic processes providing a strong connection between cell fate determination, development and metabolism. In particular we characterize, through phenotypic, genetic, biochemical and transcriptomic approaches, the role of STK in PAs biosynthesis. Our results indicate that STK exerts this role through the direct regulation of the gene encoding for BANYULS/ANTHOCYANIDIN REDUCTASE (BAN/ANR), which converts anthocyanidins into their corresponding 2,3-cis-flavan-3-ols. Our study also demonstrates that the levels of H3K9ac chromatin modification directly correlate with the active state of BAN in an STK-dependent way. This supports the theory that MADS-domain proteins control the expression of their target genes through the modification of the chromatin states. STK might recruit or negatively regulate histone modifying factors to control their activity. Moreover, we show that STK controls through a complex regulatory network not only directly BAN but also other regulators of this key gene in tannin production mRNA profiles from both Arabidopsis wild-type and stk mutant inflorescences and siliques until 5 DAP were generated by deep sequencing, in duplicate according to the manufacturerâ??s instructions by TruSeq RNA Sample Prep kit (Illumina Inc.) and sequenced on Illumina HiSeq2000 in one lane single-read 50bp.

Project description:Genes encoding one or more Ser/Thr protein kinases have been identified recently in many bacteria, including one (stk) in the human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes (group A streptococcus [GAS]). We report that in GAS, stk is required to produce disease in a murine myositis model of infection. Using microarray and quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (qRT-PCR) studies, we found that Stk activates genes for virulence factors, osmoregulation, metabolism of ?-glucans, and fatty acid biosynthesis, as well as genes affecting cell wall synthesis. Confirming these transcription studies, we determined that the stk deletion mutant is more sensitive to osmotic stress and to penicillin than the wild type. We discuss several possible Stk phosphorylation targets that might explain Stk regulation of expression of specific operons and the possible role of Stk in resuscitation from quiescence.

Project description:The goal of this study were to compare the transcriptoms of CcpA and CovR in group A Streptococcus. Isogenic mutant strains were created in which CcpA and CovR were inactivated alone and in combination. The transcriptomes of the four strains (wild-type, CcpA mutant, CovR mutant, and ccpA-covR double mutant) were then compared. Four biological replicates of each strain were grown to the mid-exponential and stationary phases of growth in THY. Cells were harvested, RNA isolated, and converted to cDNA. cDNA was hybridized to a custom-made Affymetrix GeneChip that contains 100% of the ORFs of the wild-type strain MGAS2221.

Project description:Cellulolytic fungi have evolved a complex regulatory network to maintain the precise balance of nutrients required for growth and hydrolytic enzyme production. When fungi are exposed to cellulose, the transcript levels of cellulase genes rapidly increase and then decline. However, the mechanisms underlying this bell-shaped expression pattern are unclear. We systematically screened a protein kinase deletion set in the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa to search for mutants exhibiting aberrant expression patterns of cellulase genes. We observed that the loss of stk-12 (NCU07378) caused a dramatic increase in cellulase production and an extended period of high transcript abundance of major cellulase genes. These results suggested that stk-12 plays a critical role as a brake to turn down the transcription of cellulase genes to repress the overexpression of hydrolytic enzymes and prevent energy wastage. Transcriptional profiling analyses revealed that cellulase gene expression levels were maintained at high levels for 56 h in the ?stk-12 mutant, compared to only 8 h in the wild-type (WT) strain. After growth on cellulose for 3 days, the transcript levels of cellulase genes in the ?stk-12 mutant were 3.3-fold over WT, and clr-2 (encoding a transcriptional activator) was up-regulated in ?stk-12 while res-1 and rca-1 (encoding two cellulase repressors) were down-regulated. Consequently, total cellulase production in the ?stk-12 mutant was 7-fold higher than in the WT. These results strongly suggest that stk-12 deletion results in dysregulation of the cellulase expression machinery. Further analyses showed that STK-12 directly targets IGO-1 to regulate cellulase production. The TORC1 pathway promoted cellulase production, at least partly, by inhibiting STK-12 function, and STK-12 and CRE-1 functioned in parallel pathways to repress cellulase gene expression. Our results clarify how cellulase genes are repressed at the transcriptional level during cellulose induction, and highlight a new strategy to improve industrial fungal strains.

Project description:This analysis revealed ~17.% of all ORFs (292 out of a total 1697 ORFs) differed by at least 1.5 fold (Log2 +0.6) between the mutant and wild-type strains. Of these, ~45% of the ORFs (130 out of 292 ORFs) revealed at least 2-fold (Log2 +1) differences. The complete spectrum of differentially expressed genes in the muatnt strain revealed almost equal number of genes up (143, 49%) or down-regulated (149, 51%). However, at a higher stringency (at least 2-fold), this distribution revealed slightly more leaning towards down-regulated genes (74 out of 130, 57%) indicating the lack of SP-STK results into down regulation of several genes. Amongst the genes belonging to different functional categories, the most notable genes that were affected by the absence of SP-STK were those correspond to Carbohydrate transport and metabolism (57 out of 292, 20% at low stringency and 32 out of 130 ,~25% at high stringency), phage (28, ~10% at low stringency and 24, ~18% at high stringency), and virulence (5-6% irrespective of stringency level). Almost 20-25% of differentially expressed genes revealed at two stringencies were found to be either with unknown or undefined functions. Keywords: knockout mutant This analysis is based on a total of three independent prearations of total RNA from the wild-type S. pyogenes M1SF370 and the isogenic knockout mutant lacking SP-STK (SPy1625). First two preparations included dyeswap experiment and hence repeated twice (exp1-4). The third preparation done only one (Exp#5). Thus, the present analysis is based on five separate experiments

Project description:Two covR mutant derivatives of parental strain MGAS2221 were recovered from mice experimentally infected with MGAS2221 and shown to differ in terms of the number and concentration of secreted proteins. One of the covR mutant strains had a secretion phenotype identical to a covS mutant strain, while the other had a secretion phenotype identical to a constructed covR mutant strain. To further investigate the potential differences between the two covR mutant strains we performed expression microarray analysis. Single cultures of each of the four GAS strains tested were grown in THY broth to early exponential phase (O.D. 0.2). Two volumes of RNA protect were added, the samples incubated at room temperature for 5 minutes, and the bacteria collected through centrifugation. Total RNA was isolated via a mechaniscal disruption method, converted to cDNA, fragmented, labeled, and hybridized to our Affymetrix microarray. Estimates of gene expression were calculated using GCOS software v1.4. Data represent probes for serotype M1.

Project description:The MADS-domain transcription factor SEEDSTICK (STK) controls several aspects of plant reproduction. STK is co-expressed with CESTA (CES), a basic Helix-Loop-Helix (bHLH) transcription factor-encoding gene. CES was reported to control redundantly with the brassinosteroid positive signaling factors BRASSINOSTEROID ENHANCED EXPRESSION1 (BEE1) and BEE3 the development of the transmitting tract. Combining the stk ces-4 mutants led to a reduction in ovule fertilization due to a defect in carpel fusion which, caused the formation of holes at the center of the septum where the transmitting tract differentiates. Combining the stk mutant with the bee1 bee3 ces-4 triple mutant showed an increased number of unfertilized ovules and septum defects. The transcriptome profile of this quadruple mutant revealed a small subset of differentially expressed genes which are mainly involved in cell death, extracellular matrix and cell wall development. Our data evidence a regulatory gene network controlling transmitting tract development regulated directly or indirectly by a STK-CES containing complex and reveal new insights in the regulation of transmitting tract development by bHLH and MADS-domain transcription factors.
