Project description:In Drosophila, insufficient biosynthesis of phosphatidylserine induced significant mitochondrial defects.Proteomic analysis of samples from drosophila salivary glands, we compared three genotypes, ppl-gal4 drived RNAi against w, pss and pss plus bbc.
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE31895: ChIP with anti-orc2 antibody to identify regions of orc binding in third instar salivary glands of WT and SuUR mutant Drosophila GSE31896: RNAPolII ChIP to find differences between third instar salivary glands of WT and SuUR GSE31897: ChIP with anti-H3K27me3 to compare binding in salivary glands of WT and SuUR Drosophila GSE31898: CGH to ascertain levels of gDNA in third instar salivary glands of various mutant Drosophila GSE31899: ChIP-Seq of ORC2 bound to third instar salivary gland DNA in WT and mutant Drosophila, analyzed by Illumina sequencing GSE33017: Expression profile of third instar larval salivary gland tissue Refer to individual Series
Project description:Indicated cells were subjected to RNAi against linker histone H1, Nautilus (control), or GFP (control). RNA was isolated and subjected to Affymetrix GeneChIP Drosophila Genome 2.0 arrays RNA was compared from cells treated with RNAi against control (Nautilus in the case of salivary glands or GFP in the case of Kc cells) and linker histone H1. Kc cells were treated once with RNAi and RNA was collected 6 days later.
Project description:Heterochromatin-protein 1 (HP1) is a functionally diverse family of proteins. In particular, Drosophila dHP1c forms a complex with the transcription factors WOC and ROW (dHP1EU) that localizes at euchromatin and regulates gene expression. We used microarrays to analyse the changes in gene expression after row depletion by RNAi. For expression profiling analyses, total RNAs were prepared from control S2 cells and upon RNAi-mediated depletion of ROW, converted to cDNA and hybridized to Drosophila Genome 2.0 GeneChip (Affymetrix).
Project description:ChIP was performed to identify regions of gDNA bound by RNA polymerase II in third instar salivary glands of Drosophila WT and SuUR mutants. This demonstrated that RNAPolII does not localize to regions that are under-replicated in SuUR mutant third instar salivary glands. Comparison of RNAPolII ChIP from third instar salivary glands relative to control IgG pulldown for two different Drosophila strains
Project description:ChIP was performed to identify regions of gDNA bound by H3K27me3 in third instar salivary glands of Drosophila WT and SuUR mutants. This demonstrated that H3K27me3 binds differently in under-replicated in SuUR mutant third instar salivary glands.
Project description:Background: The Anopheles gambiae salivary glands play a major role in malaria transmission and express a variety of bioactive components that facilitate blood-feeding by preventing platelet aggregation, blood clotting, vasodilatation, and inflammatory and other reactions at the probing site on the vertebrate host. Results: We have performed a global transcriptome analysis of the A. gambiae salivary gland response to blood-feeding, to identify candidate genes that are involved in hematophagy. A total of 4,978 genes were found to be transcribed in this tissue. A comparison of salivary gland transcriptomes prior to and after blood-feeding identified 52 and 41 transcripts that were significantly up-regulated and down-regulated, respectively. Ten genes were further selected to assess their role in the blood-feeding process using RNAi-mediated gene silencing methodology. Depletion of the salivary gland genes encoding D7L2, anophelin, peroxidase, the SG2 precursor, and a 5'nucleotidase gene significantly increased probing time of A. gambiae mosquitoes and thereby their capacity to blood-feed. Conclusions: The salivary gland transcriptome comprises approximately 38% of the total mosquito transcriptome and a small proportion of it is dynamically changing already at two hours in response to blood feeding. A better understanding of the salivary gland transcriptome and its function can contribute to the development of pathogen transmission control strategies and the identification of medically relevant bioactive compounds.
