ABSTRACT: To survey transcriptome changes by the mutations of a DNA demethylase ROS1 responding to a phytohormone abscisic acid, we performed the Next-gen sequencing (NGS) associated RNA-seq analysis. Two ROS1 knockout lines (ros1-3, ros1-4; Penterman et al. 2007 [PMID: 17409185]) with the wild-type Col line (wt) were subjected. Three samples (ros1-3, ros1-4 and wt), biological triplicates, ABA or mock treatment, using Illumina HiSeq 2500 system

Project description:Using whole genome bisulfite sequencing to provide single-base resulution of DNA methylation status in rdm16ros1, ros1, nrpd1ros1 mutants and examine the effect of RDM16 on DNA methylation 4 samples examined: C24 wild type with RD29A-LUC transgene, rdm16ros1 double mutant, ros1 mutant, nrpd1ros1 mutant (all in C24 background with RD29A-LUC transgene)
Project description:Goals: characterization of the transcription factor Ros1 in Ustilago maydis Methods: generation of deletion mutants, microscopic observations, ectopic expression of ros1, identification of Ros1 regulated genes by RNAseq and ChIP sequencing Results: Ros1 is not involved in plant colonization but is essential to trigger sporogenesis during late stages of infection. Premature expression of ros1 revealed that Ros1 counteracts the b-dependent filamentation program and induces morphological alterations resembling the early steps of sporogenesis. Transcriptional profiling and ChIP seq analyses revealed that Ros1 affects the expression of about 30 % of all U. maydis genes with 40% being direct targets. Cell wall remodeling and plasma membrane modifications are among the processes affected by Ros1 dependent regulation. Interestingly a large number of b-dependent genes including transcription factors and effector genes involved in biotrophy establishment were downregulated by Ros1 while a subset of novel â??late effectorsâ?? were upregulated. Taken together our results indicate that Ros1 is a master regulator of sporogenesis in U. maydis and that the switch to sporogenesis is accompanied by the differential regulation of 75% of the effector genes. Two samples corresponding to plant material infected with either U. maydis wild type strains FB1 x FB2 or the ros1 deletion strains FB1Dros1 x FB2Dros1 were analyzed in triplicate.
Project description:We carried out a microarray experiment by using Affymetrix Arabidopsis ATH1 Genechips in order to identify genes that show reduced expression in ros1-1 plants. 2 samples examined: C24 wild-type and ros1-1 mutant (in C24 background).
Project description:Multiple tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are often developed for the same indication. However, their relative overall efficacy is frequently incompletely understood and they may harbor unrecognized targets that cooperate with the intended target. We compared several ROS1 TKIs for inhibition of ROS1-fusion-positive lung cancer cell viability, ROS1 autophosphorylation and kinase activity, which indicated disproportionately higher cellular potency of one TKI, lorlatinib. Quantitative chemical and phosphoproteomics across four ROS1 TKIs and differential network analysis revealed that lorlatinib uniquely impacted focal adhesion signaling. Functional validation using kinase assays, pharmacological probes and RNA interference uncovered a polypharmacology mechanism of lorlatinib by dual targeting ROS1 and PYK2, which form a multiprotein complex with SRC. Rational multi-targeting of this complex by combining lorlatinib with SRC inhibitors exhibited pronounced synergy. Taken together, we show that systems pharmacology-based differential network analysis can dissect mixed canonical/non-canonical polypharmacology mechanisms across multiple TKIs enabling the design of rational drug combinations.
Project description:To servey the methylome changes by mutation of a DNA demethylase ROS1, we performed the Next-gen sequencing (NGS) associated whole genome bisulfite sequencing (BS-seq) analysis. Two ROS1 knockout lines (ros1-3 and ros1-4; Penterman et al. 2007 [PMID: 17409185]) were subjected in this study.

Project description:In eukaryotes, heterochromatin is characterized by numerous epigenetic marks, including DNA methylation. Spreading of these marks into nearby active genes must be avoided in order to maintain appropriate gene expression. Here, we uncover Arabidopsis Methyl-CpG-Binding Domain 7 (MBD7) and Increased DNA Methylation 3 (IDM3) as anti-silencing factors that prevent transgene repression and genome-wide DNA hypermethylation. MBD7 preferentially binds to highly methylated, CG-dense regions associated with non-CG methylation and physically associates with other anti-silencing factors, including the histone acetyltransferase IDM1, IDM2, and IDM3. IDM1 and IDM2 were previously shown to facilitate active DNA demethylation by the 5-methylcytosine DNA glycosylase/lyase ROS1. Thus, MBD7 tethers the IDM proteins to methylated DNA, which enables the function of DNA demethylases that in turn establish chromatin boundaries and limit DNA methylation. Whole genome methylation maps of idm3-3, mbd7-2(CS876032) and Col-0 WT were generated using BS-seq
Project description:Arabidopsis ROS1 is the first genetically characterized DNA demethylase in eukaryotes. Dysfunction of ROS1 leads to increase in DNA methylation level at thousands of genomic loci. However, the features of ROS1 targets are not well understood. In this study, we identified and characterized ROS1 target loci in Arabidopsis Col-0 and C24 ecotypes. Most ROS1 targets are transposable elements (TEs) and intergenic regions. Compared to other TEs, ROS1-targeted TEs are closer to protein coding genes, suggesting a role for ROS1 in preventing the spreading of DNA methylation from highly methylated TEs to nearby genes. Interestingly, we found that unlike general TEs, ROS1 targets are associated with an enrichment of H3K18ac and H3K27me3, and depletion of H3K27me and H3K9me2. We investigated the antagonism between ROS1 and RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) by identifying and characterizing thousands of genomic regions regulated by both ROS1 and RdDM. Unexpectedly, we uncovered thousands of previously unidentified RdDM targets by analyzing the DNA methylome of ros1/nrpd1 double mutant plants. In addition, we show that ROS1 also antagonizes RdDM-independent DNA methylation at more than a thousand genomic loci. Our results provide significant insights into the genome-wide effects of both ROS1-mediated active DNA demethylation and RNA-directed DNA methylation as well as their interaction in plants.
