Genome-wide effect of cholera toxin and nitrate treatment in etiolated rice plants

ABSTRACT: The present study used microarray approach to identify the genomewide response to cholera toxin in the presence of nitrate. Considering that fact that the possibility of the existence of multiple GM-NM-1 genes/proteins in plants has not been conclusively ruled out, analysis of the genomewide impact of RGA1 mutation in rice and GPA1 mutation in Arabidopsis reveal only those genes that are under their direct control. On the other hand, assuming that all those different GM-NM-1 subunits in any given plant are regulated by cholera toxin, analysis of the genomwide response to cholera toxin could capture the entire G-protein responsive transcriptome, beyond what can be revealed by the mutant approach. This could reveal even those genes that respond to other, as yet unidentified GM-NM-1 subunits, as well as reveal some genes that are non-specifically regulated by cholera toxin, independent of any G-proteins. Total RNA was isolated from 10 day old excised rice leaves treated with or without cholera toxin in the presence of nitrate.Total RNA was first converted into cDNA and then into cRNA labeled with Cy3 and Cy5 dyes. These were hybridized on the 44K 60-mer whole genome arrays on glass slides. The slides were washed and scanned on an Agilent scanner (G2565B) at 100 % laser power. Data extraction was carried out with Agilent Feature Exiraction software (version 9.1). The experiment was repeated with a biological-cum-technical replicate where total RNA samples were isolated from a fresh batch of rice plants and the cRNAs were labeled with opposite dyes (dye-swap).

Project description:Here, we examined the ramifications of between-species diversity by documenting the transcriptional response of three marine diatoms - Thalassiosira pseudonana, Fragilariopsis cylindrus, and Pseudo-nitzschia multiseries - to the onset of nitrate limitation of growth, a common limiting nutrient in the ocean. Less than 5% of orthologous genes, shared across the three diatoms, displayed the same transcriptional responses across species when growth was limited by nitrate availability. Orthologs, such as those involved in nitrogen uptake and assimilation, as well as carbon metabolism, were differently expressed across the three species. The two pennate diatoms, F. cylindrus and P. multiseries, shared 3,839 clusters without orthologs in the genome of the centric diatom T. pseudonana. A majority of these pennate-clustered genes, as well as the non-orthologous genes in each species, had minimal annotation information, but were often significantly differentially expressed under nitrate limitation, indicating their potential importance in the response to nitrogen availability. Despite these variations in the specific transcriptional response of each diatom, overall transcriptional patterns suggested that all three diatoms displayed a common physiological response to nitrate limitation that consisted of a general reduction in carbon fixation and carbohydrate and fatty acid metabolism and an increase in nitrogen recycling. Transcriptomes were collected for diatom cultures harvested at the onset of stationary phase in low nitrate media (55 M-NM-<M NaNO3, 212 M-NM-<M Na2SiO3, 72.4 M-NM-<M NaH2PO4) or during mid-exponential growth in nutrient-replete media (882 M-NM-<M NaNO3, 106 M-NM-<M Na2SiO3, 36.2 M-NM-<M NaH2PO4) in artificial seawater, maintaining three biological replicates per condition and per diatom (N=18). The SOLiD sequencer (version 4) was used to generate the transcriptomes and the SEAStAR software package was used to process the SOLiD reads and to calculate gene counts. Pooled counts for the nitrate-limited treatment were normalized to pooled counts for the nutrient-replete M-bM-^@M-^\controlM-bM-^@M-^] treatment to generate log fold changes in gene transcription using the R software package edgeR from Bioconductor.
