Project description:Indica rice seedlings of IR64 variety were grown hydroponically for 7-days in a culture room with a daily photoperiodic cycle of 14h light and 10h dark. Seedlings were incubated in 0.1% dimethyl sulfoxide (control) or 50 micromolar solutions of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA treatment) and benzyl aminopurine (BAP treatment) for 1h and 3h. Equal amounts of 1h and 3h samoles were pooled for each treatment before RNA isolation. The 5 micrograms of each total RNA sample was processed for microarray analysis according to Affymetrix protocol. Keywords: Rice, seedling, IAA, BAP, hormone response
Project description:The I/11 and R10 erythroid progenitor cell line was cultivated in serum free medium (StemPro34) supplemented with Epo (0,5U/ml), SCF (100ng/ml) and dexamethasone (10-6M). To identify genes specifically regulated by Epo/SCF-induced polysome recruitment, cells were factor deprived for 4h and subsequently treated for 2h with 5U/ml Epo and 200ng/ml SCF or left untreated. Subsequently we isolated both total and polysome bound mRNA from each condition, which was hybridised to oligonucleotide arrays (Affymetrix). Analysis of data with Rosetta Resolver allowed to identify and compare Epo/SCF induced gene expression in total and polysome bound RNA. To assess gene expression during erythroid differentiation, cells were induced to differentiate in presence of 5U/ml Epo and 0.5mg/ml Fe-loaded transferrin. Polysome bound mRNA was isolated from cells proliferating in presence of Epo, SCF and dexamethasone (renewal conditions), and from cells induced to differentiate for 48h or 60h.
Project description:Disruption of protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum triggers the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR), a transcriptional and translational control network designed to restore protein homeostasis. Central to the UPR is PERK phosphorylation of the alpha subunit of eIF2 (eIF2~P), which represses global translation coincident with preferential translation of mRNAs, such as ATF4 and CHOP, that serve to implement the UPR transcriptional regulation. In this study, we used sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation and a genome-wide microarray approach to measure changes in mRNA translation during ER stress. Our analysis suggests that translational efficiencies vary across a broad range during ER stress, with the majority of transcripts being either repressed or resistant to eIF2~P, while a notable cohort of key regulators are subject to preferential translation. From this latter group, we identify IBTKa as being subject to both translation and transcriptional induction during eIF2~P in both cell lines and a mouse model of ER stress. Translational regulation of IBTKalpha mRNA involves the stress-induced relief of two inhibitory uORFs in the 5'-leader of the transcript. Depletion of IBTKalpha by shRNA reduced viability of cultured cells coincident with increased caspase 3/7 cleavage, suggesting that IBTKalpha is a key regulator in determining cell fate during the UPR. We used a genome-wide microarray approach to determine how individual mRNAs were differentially translated during endoplasmic reticulum stress. A microarray analysis from our laboratory identified gene transcripts suggested to be under translation control in mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cells following a 6 hour treatment with thapsigargin, a potent inducer of ER stress, or no stress. The mRNAs were separated by sucrose gradient analyses to yield three fractions, those transcripts associated with large polysomes (?4 ribosomes per mRNA), those associated with monosome, disomes, or trisomes, and those fractionated at the top of the gradient with free ribosomes. RNA was extracted from sucrose gradients corresponding to these fractions and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays. In parallel, we also measured total levels for each gene transcript in the presence or absence of thapsigargin treatment to address transcription regulation coincident with translational control. Please note that the treatment plus fractionation based on association with different numbers of ribosomes did yield different populations of mRNAs, which resulted in considerable variation in normalized data across the samples.
Project description:Gametes rely heavily on post-transcriptional control mechanisms to regulate their differentiation. In eggs, the storage and selective temporal activation of maternal mRNAs is essential for normal development. In the male, transcription ceases during spermiogenesis necessitating the post-transcriptional regulation of many paternal mRNAs required for spermatid differentiation and spermatozoan function. Messenger RNAs that are being actively translated form polysomes. whereas translationally inactive mRNAs are often sequestered in ribonucleoproteins (RNPs). Here we combine polysome display and microarray analyses of RNP and polysome fractions of testes from prepubertal and adult mice to characterize the translation state of individual mRNAs as spermatogenesis proceeds.. Consistent with published reports, many post-meiotic mRNAs known to be translationally delayed shift from the RNPs into the polysomes, confirming the validity of this approach. In addition, based upon the criterion of movement from RNPs to polysomes, we detect another 742 mouse testicular genes showing dramatic shifts between RNPs and polysomes. One sub-group of 35 genes including the known translationally delayed Pgk2, are initially transcribed and translationally repressed in meiotic spermatocytes, and translated post-meiotically. This high-through-put approach defines the changing translation patterns of a large number of genes as male germ cells differentiate and identifies a new group of post-transcriptionally regulated meiotic transcripts for future study. Mouse testes from animals of 3 different ages were fractionated on a sucrose gradient and transcripts were quantified in the RNP and Polysome fractions. Transcripts were identified that changed their RNP/Polysome representation at the different developmental time points.
Project description:Translational control is a key regulatory step in the expression of genes as proteins. In plant cells, translational efficiency of mRNAs differs on different mRNA species, and the efficiency dynamically changes in various conditions. To gain a global view of translational control throughout growth and development, we performed genome-wide analysis of polysome association of mRNA over growth and leaf development in Arabidopsis thaliana by applying the mRNAs in polysome to DNA microarray. This analysis revealed that the degree of polysome association of mRNA had different levels depending on mRNA species, and the polysome association changed greatly throughout growth and development for each. In the growth stage, transcripts showed varying changes in polysome association from strongly depressed to unchanged degree, with the majority of transcripts showing dissociation from ribosomes. On the other hand, during leaf development, the polysome association of transcripts showed a normal distribution from repressed to activated mRNAs when comparing between expanding and expanded leaves. In addition, functional category analysis of the microarray data suggested that translational control has a physiological significance in plant growth and development process, especially in category of signaling and protein synthesis. Besides this, we compared changes in polysome association of mRNAs between various conditions and characterized translational controls in each. This result suggested that mRNAs translation might be controlled by complicated mechanisms for response to each condition. Our results highlight the importance of dynamic changes in mRNA translation in plant development and growth.

Project description:Analysis of gene expression level. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that rea1 mutant influence the translation level of translation and nucleosome assembly associated genes. Results provide important information of the gene translation level regulation of ribosome proteins, elongation factors, histones and genes associated with other biological processes. Endosperm total and polysome-bound mRNA profiles of 15DAP wild type (WT) and rea1 mutant were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina Hiseq 2500 (Zea mays).
