Gene expression data of fibroblasts transduced with LacZ or p63+KLF4.

ABSTRACT: To determine if fibroblasts could be reprogrammed to a keratinocyte phenotype p63+KLF4 or LacZ expressing retroviruses were transduced into primary human neonatal fibroblasts. Global gene expression profiling using U133 plus 2.0 arrays were used to deteremine the extent of reprogramming to a keratinocyte phenoypte upon transduction with p63+KLF4. Fibroblasts transduced with p63+KLF4 were also treated +/- high calcium to determine if treatment with calcium could induce differentiation of these cells. Microarray analysis was also performed on cells treated +/- calcium. For gene expression profiling, cultured human fibroblasts were infected with LacZ or p63+KLF4 expressing retroviruses. p63+KLF4 cells were also treated +/- calcium. Microarray analysis using Affymetrix HG-U133 2.0 plus arrays was performed on duplicate samples.

Project description:The first described feedback loop of the Arabidopsis circadian clock is based on reciprocal regulation between TOC1 and CCA1/LHY. CCA1 and LHY are MYB transcription factors that bind directly to the TOC1 promoter to negatively regulate its expression. Conversely, the activity of TOC1 has remained less well characterized. Genetic data supports that TOC1 is necessary for the reactivation of CCA1/LHY, but there is little description of its biochemical function. Here we show that TOC1 occupies specific genomic regions in the CCA1 and LHY promoters. Purified TOC1 binds directly to DNA through its CCT domain, which is similar to known DNA binding domains. Chemical induction and transient overexpression of TOC1 in Arabidopsis seedlings cause repression of CCA1/LHY expression demonstrating that TOC1 can repress direct targets, and mutation or deletion of the CCT domain prevents this repression showing that DNA binding is necessary for TOC1 action. Furthermore, we use the Gal4/UAS system in Arabidopsis to show that TOC1 acts as a general transcriptional repressor, and that repression activity is in the Pseudoreceiver (PR) domain of the protein. To identify the genes regulated by TOC1 on a genomic scale, we couple TOC1 chemical induction with microarray analysis and identify new potential TOC1 targets and output pathways. Together these results define the biochemical action of the core clock protein TOC1 and refine our perspective on how plant clocks function. Keywords: Expression profiling by array wild type (Col-0) and ALC::TOC1 were sown on Murashige-Skoog with 0.8% agar, stratified for 48 hours and grown in12:12 light:dark (LD) for 12 days and either left in LD or transferred to constant light (LL) and then grown for one more day before the start of the experiment. Tissue was submerged in Murashige-Skoog media supplemented with 2.5% ethanol or no ethanol (mock) and with 20mM MG132 for 3 hours and harvested at ZT1. Three replicates each of the seedlings were collected and frozen in liquid nitrogen.
