Project description:Quorum sensing is a cell to cell communication process that involves chemical signaling. Yersinia pestis, the agent of plague, has two functional AHL quorum sensing systems Ysp and Ype. For several reasons, it was not clear what effect AHL pathways have on virulence gene expression and survival in the two different hosts, flea and human. To investigate to what effect AHL quorum sensing has on gene expression, we conducted microarray studies comparing Yersinia pestis CO92 (â??pgm) to a double AHL mutant strain (â??pgm Î?ypeIR) at 30°C. Six independent RNA samples from Y. pestis CO92 Î?pgm Î?ypeIR cultures were paired with six independent RNA samples from control Y. pestis CO92 R88 cultures for hybridization to six two-color microarrays. For three arrays, the control RNA sample was labeled with Alexa 555 dye and the experimental RNA sample was labeled with Alexa 647 dye; the dyes were reversed for the other three arrays to account for any dye bias.

Project description:The etiologic agent of bubonic plague, Yersinia pestis, senses cell density-dependent chemical signals to synchronize transcription between cells of the population in a process named quorum sensing. Though the closely related enteric pathogen Y. pseudotuberculosis uses quorum sensing system to regulate motility, the role of quorum sensing in Y. pestis has been unclear. In this study we performed transcriptional profiling experiments to identify Y. pestis quorum sensing regulated functions. Our analysis revealed that acyl-homoserine lactone based quorum sensing controls the expression of several metabolic functions. Maltose fermentation and the glyoxylate bypass are induced by acyl-homoserine lactone signaling. This effect was seen to be temperature conditional. Metabolism is unresponsive to quorum sensing regulation at mammalian body temperature, indicating a potential role for quorum sensing regulation of metabolism specifically during colonization of the flea vector. It is proposed that utilization of alternative carbon sources may enhance growth and/or survival during prolonged flea colonization, contributing to maintenance of plague in nature. Six independent RNA samples from Y. pestis CO92 R114 AHL deficient cultures were paired with six independent RNA samples from control Y. pestis CO92 R88 cultures for hybridization to six two-color microarrays. For three arrays, the control RNA sample was labeled with Alexa 555 dye and the experimental RNA sample was labeled with Alexa 647 dye; the dyes were reversed for the other three arrays to account for any dye bias.

Project description:Transcription profiling of Arabidopsis plants grown in high versus low Cu2+ concentration. Keywords: Stress response Three replicates for each sample category (Arabidopsis Col0 grown either in high or low Cu2+) were generated, and compared directly to each other, in a non-paired direct comparisson. Two technical replicas from each biological replica were carried out.

Project description:Transcription profiling of post-anthesis unfertilized pistil development and senescence in Arabidopsis, in a serie including samples from seven different stages according to pistil age in days post-anthesis (dpa). The time course started at anthesis and ended at 12-14 dpa, several days later of the loss of fruit set capacity. Keywords: Developmental time course Unfertilized pistils were obtained growing under low humidity cer6-2 conditional male sterile mutant of Arabidopsis in Ler background. The seven stages considered were: 0-1 dpa, 2-3 dpa, 4-5 dpa, 6-7 dpa, 8-9 dpa 10-11 dpa and 12-14 dpa. Two biological replicas with two technical replicas each were performed for each stage. The biological replicas were grown independently, and all the samples of each one were harvested simultaneously. Amplified RNA from each sample was hibridized together with a global reference over the DNA microarray. The reference was generated from an equimolar mix of amplified RNAs from each of the seven samples of the corresponding biological replica. Amplified RNA from each sample was labelled separately with Cy5 and with Cy3, and each labelling was compared in the DNA microarray with Cy3-labelled and with Cy5-labelled RNA from the reference mix, respectively.

Project description:Moderate increases in the ambient temperature promote hypocotyl growth in Arabidopsis, and this response is totally dependent on the proper activity of the auxin, gibberellin, and brassinosteroid pathways. We have analyzed global the changes in gene expression that occur in Arabidopsis seedlings after a moderate increase in the growth temperature (20ºC to 29ºC for 2 hours). In order to understand how the different hormone pathways affect this growth response, the same transcription profiling analysis was conducted in seedlings deficient in each hormone. Keywords: Growth condition We performed three replicas of each sample category: wild type mock-treated, wild type PAC-treated, wild type NPA-treated, and det2-1 mutants. Samples transferred from 20ºC to 29ºC of replicas #2 and #3 were labelled with Cy3, whereas those kept at 20ºC were Cy5-labelled. Samples of replica #1 were reversed-labelled.

Project description:Yersinia pestis, the etiological agent of plague, is able to sense cell density by quorum sensing. The function of quorum sensing in Y. pestis is not clear. Here, the process of autoinducer-2 (AI-2) quorum sensing was investigated by comparing transcript profiles when AI-2 quorum-sensing signal is added in to control. The strain Îpgm (pigmentation-negative) mutant was used as wild type.The control consisted of cells grown and treated under the same conditions without added signals. Six independent RNA samples from Y. pestis CO92 Îpgm cultures were paired with six independent RNA samples from AI-2 signal added in cultures for hybridization to six two-color microarrays. A dye-swap design was used to remove the Cy5 and Cy3 dye bias.

Project description:Yersinia pestis, the etiological agent of plague, is able to sense cell density by quorum sensing. The function of quorum sensing in Y. pestis is not clear. Here, the process of AHL quorum sensing was investigated by comparing transcript profiles when two AHL quorum-sensing signals are added in. The strain Îpgm (pigmentation-negative) mutant was called wild type. The two AHLs signals are N-(3-Oxooctanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone and N-Hexanoyl-DL-homoserine lactone.The control consisted of cells grown and treated under the same conditions without added signals. Six independent RNA samples from Y. pestis CO92 Îpgm cultures were paired with six independent RNA samples from two AHLs added cultures for hybridization to six two-color microarrays. A dye-swap design was used to remove the Cy5 and Cy3 dye bias.

Project description:The AI-2 quorum-sensing system has been linked to diverse phenotypes and regulatory changes in pathogenic bacteria. In strain CO92, the AI-2 signal is produced in a luxS-dependent manner, reaching maximal levels of 2.5 μM in late logarithmic growth, and both wild type and pigmentation mutant strains made equivalent levels of AI-2. Y. pestis CO92 possesses a chromosomal lsr locus encoding factors involved in the binding and import of AI-2, and confirming this assignment, an lsr deletion increased extracellular pools of AI-2. To assess the functional role of AI-2 sensing in Y. pestis, microarray study was conducted comparing the âPgm strain R88 to a âPgm âluxS mutant at 30°C to mimic the flea gut. Six independent RNA samples from Y. pestis CO92 ÎPgm cultures were paired with six independent RNA samples from ÎPgm ÎluxS cultures for hybridization to six two-color microarrays. A dye-swap design was used to remove the Cy5 and Cy3 dye bias.

Though the closely related enteric pathogen Y. pseudotuberculosis uses quorum sensing system to regulate motility, the role of YpeIR quorum sensing in Y. pestis has been unclear. YpeIR is one of the AHL quorum sensing system in Y. pestis. In this study we performed transcriptional profiling experiments to identify Y. pestis YpeIR quorum sensing regulated functions at 37°C. Six independent RNA samples from Y. pestis CO92 Îpgm ÎypeIR cultures were paired with six independent RNA samples from control Y. pestis CO92 R88 cultures for hybridization to six two-color microarrays. For three arrays, the control RNA sample was labeled with Alexa 555 dye and the experimental RNA sample was labeled with Alexa 647 dye; the dyes were reversed for the other three arrays to account for any dye bias.
