In humans, the frequency with which meiotic chromosome mis-segregation occurs increases with age. Whether age-dependent meiotic defects occur in other organisms is unknown. Here, we examine the effects of replicative aging on meiosis in budding yeast. We find that aged mother cells show a decreased ability to initiate the meiotic program and fail to express the meiotic inducer IME1. The few aged mother cells that do enter meiosis complete this developmental program but exhibit defects in meiotic ...[more]

Project description:Inactivation of the yeast IME4 gene, the yeast homologue of METTL3, was shown to result in the loss of m6A in mRNA of mutant cells grown in sporulation medium. We attempted to characterize the effects of ime4 deletion on gene expression under vegetative and meiosis-inducing conditions. The results show that in vegetatively-growing ime4-/- cells there is an increased expression of the RME1 gene (repressor of meiosis) which prevents precocious entry into the meiotic program. Mutant yeast cells showed reduced expression levels of genes involved in ribosome biogenesis and gene expression processes. Surprisingly, despite the fact that a diploid strain was analyzed, there was also a striking change in the expression level of haploid-specific genes, suggesting that RNA methylation may be used to enforce the sexual identity of diploid cells, required for the implementation of the gametogenesis program. Consistently, when cells were induced to undergo meiosis, ime4-/- diploids failed to undergo the meiotic divisions. Among the genes showing reduced expression in the mutant were IME1 and IME2, the two known inducers of meiosis. Thus, the yeast IME4 gene plays an important role in the regulation of the developmental switch from vegetative cells into gametogenesis. WT and ime4 -/- yeast cells were grown vegetatively in YPD (Yeast extract, Peptone, Dextrose) medium, and transferred to sporulation medium(1% Kacetate) for induction of sporulation for 4 hrs. RNA was purified from the cells and hybridized to Affymetrix microarrays. Experiments were conducted in biological replicates.

Project description:Clostridium perfringens type A is a common source of food poisoning in humans. Vegetative cells sporulate in the small intestinal tract and produce a major pathogenic factor, C. perfringens enterotoxin (CPE) during sporulation. Although sporulation plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of food poisoning, the mechanisms to induce in vivo sporulation remain unclear. Bile salts had been identified to mediate sporulation, and we have confirmed deoxycholate (DCA)-induced sporulation in C. perfringens strain NCTC8239 co-cultured with human intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cells. In this study, we performed global transcriptome analysis of strain NCTC8239 to elucidate the mechanism to induce sporulation by DCA.

Project description:The experimental evolution of laboratory populations of microbes provides an opportunity to observe the evolutionary dynamics of adaptation in real time.Until very recently, however, such studies have been limited by our inability to systematically find mutations in evolved organisms.We overcome this limitation by using a variety of DNA microarray-based techniques to characterize genetic changes, including point mutations, structural changes, and insertion variation, that resulted from the experimental adaptation of 24 haploid and diploid cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to growth in glucose-, sulfate, or phosphate-limited chemostats for ~ 200 generations.We identified frequent genomic amplifications and rearrangements as well as novel retrotransposition events associated with adaptation.Global mutation detection in 10 clonal isolates identified 32 point mutations. On the basis of mutation frequencies, we infer that these mutations and the subsequent dynamics of adaptation are determined by the batch phase of growth prior to initiation of continuous phase in the chemostat.We relate these genotypic changes to phenotypic outcomes, namely global patterns of gene expression, and to increases in fitness by 5-50%. We found that the spectrum of available mutations in glucose or phosphate-limited environments combined with the batch phase population dynamics early in our experiments to allow several distinct genotypic and phenotypic evolutionary pathways in response to these nutrient limitations. By contrast, sulfate-limited populations were much more constrained in both genotypic and phenotypic outcomes.Thus, the reproducibility of evolution varies with specific selective pressures reflecting the constraints inherent in the system-level organization of metabolic processes in the cell.We were able to relate some of the observed adaptive mutations (e.g. transporter gene amplifications) to known features of the relevant metabolic pathways, but many of the mutations pointed to genes not previously associated with the relevant physiology. Thus, in addition to answering basic mechanistic questions about evolutionary mechanisms our work suggests that experimental evolution can also shed light on the function and regulation of individual metabolic pathways.

Project description:Ten populations were evolved for 6,000 generations. Five had strong selection for sporulation, imposed partially by their cultivation in sporulation-inducing medium, while the other five populations had relaxed selection for sporulation, by cultivating them in sporulation-repressing medium. Batch cultures were diluted 1:100 daily for approximately 892 days. In the five populations with relaxed selection for sporulation, sporulation ability was eventually lost.

Project description:Myxococcus xanthus is a gram negative rod-shaped delta proteobacterium that differentiates into environmentally resistant spores in response to starvation. Little is known about the sporulation mechanism in part because sporulation occurs in a subpopulation of cells undergoing a lenghtly complex multicellular developmental program. This developmental program requires a solid surface, motility, a minimum population density and a sophisticated network of inter and intra-cellular signals which direct some cells first to aggregate into multicellular fruiting bodies and then to sporulate exclusively within these fruiting bodies. However, it has previously been demonstrated that synchronous conversion of vegetative cells into myxospores can also be triggered in nutrient-rich liquid medium by addition of glycerol to 0.5 M. Here, we took advantage of the glycerol-induced sporulation process to gain information about the core M. xanthus sprorulation mechanism. We determined changes in the global gene expression at 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 hours after glycerol induction compared to vegetative cells (wild-type DK1622). The expression of nearly 1,500 genes was found to be significantly altered at least two-fold within four hours of glycerol-induced development. Most of the known core sporulation marker genes were up-regulated, whereas most genes required for proper aggregation and fruiting body formation were not significantly regulated.

Project description:Bacillus subtilis vegetative cells switch to sporulation upon nutrient limitation. To investigate the proteome changeover during sporulation, a time-lapse proteomic analysis was performed in a cell population that was induced to sporulate synchronously. Here, we are the first to comprehensively investigate the changeover of sporulation regulatory proteins, coat proteins and other proteins involved in sporulation and spore biogenesis. Protein co-expression analysis revealed four co-expressed modules. Modules brown and green are upregulated during sporulation and are annotated as associated with sporulation. Module blue, which is negatively correlated with modules brown and green, comprised ribosomal and metabolic proteins, and module yellow is co-expressed with module blue and modules brown & green. Notably, several proteins not belonging to any of the known transcription regulons were identified as co-expressed with modules brown and green. We speculate that they may also play roles during sporulation. Finally, amounts of some coat proteins, for example morphogenetic coat proteins, decreased late in sporulation. While we speculate on their possible role in guiding or helping assembly of other coat proteins, after which they can be disposed of, such a hypothesis remains to be experimentally addressed.

Keywords: comparative genome hybridization and transcriptome divergence Genomic DNA from all ten populations, and ancestors, was isolated, labeled and hybridized to microarrays. Only one hybridization was performed for each experimental population, with evolved and ancestral DNA hybridized to the slide. RNA hybridizations were done by chosing one strain that was evolved in sporulation-repressing medium and one strain that was evolved in sporulation-inducing medium. Two biological replicates were performed, as well as a dye swap for each biological replicate. Evolved and ancestral strains were grown in identical medium and RNA was isolated at the onset of stationary phase.
