Project description:The Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene PIF1 encodes a conserved eukaryotic DNA helicase required for both mitochondrial and nuclear DNA integrity. Our previous work revealed that a pif1D strain is tolerant to zinc overload. We demonstrate here that this effect is independent of the Pif1 helicase activity and is only observed when the protein is absent from the mitochondria. pif1 cells accumulate abnormal amounts of mitochondrial zinc and iron. Transcriptional profiling reveals that pif1 cells under standard growth conditions overexpress aconitase-related genes. When exposed to zinc, pif1 cells show lower induction of genes encoding iron (siderophores) transporters and higher expression of genes related to oxidative stress responses than wild type cells. Coincidently, pif1 mutants are less prone to zinc-induced oxidative stress and display a higher reduced/oxidized glutathione ratio. Strikingly, although pif1 cells contain normal amounts of the Aco1 protein, they completely lack aconitase activity. Loss of Aco1 activity is also observed when the cell expresses a non-mitochondrially targeted form of Pif1. We postulate that lack of Pif1 forces aconitase to play its DNA protective role as nucleoid protein and that this would trigger a domino effect on iron homeostasis resulting in increased zinc tolerance. Four samples were analyzed: WT and pif1 mutant both, in the presence and in the absence of 5 mM ZnCl2 for 1 h. We compared the expression profile of: 1) WT+Zn vs WT-Zn, 2) pif1 mutant+Zn vs pif1 mutant-Zn, 3) pif1 mutant vs WT, and 4) pif1 mutant+Zn vs WT+Zn. A Dye-swap was carried out for each comparison of samples. Total number of chips analyzed: 8.

Project description:The basic helix-loop-helix factor Myod initiates skeletal muscle differentiation by directly and sequentially activating sets of muscle differentiation genes, including those encoding muscle contractile proteins. We hypothesize that Pbx homeodomain proteins direct Myod to a subset of its transcriptional targets, in particular fast twitch muscle differentiation genes, thereby regulating the competence of muscle precursor cells to differentiate. We have previously shown that Pbx proteins bind with Myod on the promoter of the zebrafish fast muscle gene mylpfa and that Pbx proteins are required for Myod to activate mylpfa expression and the fast-twitch muscle-specific differentiation program in zebrafish embryos. Here we have investigated the interactions of Pbx with another muscle fiber-type regulator, Prdm1a, a SET-domain DNA-binding factor that directly represses mylpfa expression and fast muscle differentiation. The prdm1a mutant phenotype, early and increased fast muscle differentiation, is the opposite of the Pbx-null phenotype, delayed and reduced fast muscle differentiation. To determine whether Pbx and Prdm1a have opposing activities on a common set of genes, we used RNA-seq analysis to globally assess gene expression in zebrafish embryos with single- and double-losses-of-function for Pbx and Prdm1a. We find that the levels of expression of certain fast muscle genes are increased or approximately wild type in pbx2/4-MO;prdm1a-/- embryos, suggesting that Pbx activity normally counters the repressive action of Prdm1a for a subset of the fast muscle program. However, other fast muscle genes require Pbx but are not regulated by Prdm1a. Thus, our findings reveal that subsets of the fast muscle program are differentially regulated by Pbx and Prdm1a. Our findings provide an example of how Pbx homeodomain proteins act in a balance with other transcription factors to regulate subsets of a cellular differentiation program. Total RNA samples were genotyped and pooled for 4 sample types: control-MO;prdm1+/+; control-MO;prdm1-/-; pbx2/4-MO;prdm1+/+; and pbx2/4-MO;prdm1-/- embryos at the 10 somite (s) stage from three independent sets of egg collections/injections.

Project description:It was previously shown that expression of an activated Phactr1 mutant (Phactr1XXX) that constitutively forms the Phactr1/PP1 phosphatase holoenzyme, induces F-actin rearrangements in NIH3T3 fibroblasts. Expression of the Phactr1 PP1-binding domain (C-terminal) alone is also sufficient to induce such cytoskeletal changes. In contrast, expression of Phactr1XXXC derivative, which lacks the PP1 binding sequences does not result in alteration of cytoskeletal morphology (Wiezlak et al., 2012). These observations suggest that Phactr1/PP1 dephosphorylates target proteins involved in cytoskeletal dynamics. To identify potential Phactr1/PP1 substrates, we used differential SILAC phosphoproteomics in NIH3T3 cells inducibly expressing Phactr1XXX, Phactr1XXXC constructs or vector alone. Over 3000 phosphorylation sites were quantified, among which we determined Phactr1/PP1 target dephosphorylation sites by comparative analysis.

Project description:Amongst the various different insect groups, there is remarkable diversity in the number and size of wings. However the development of the basic body plan in insects is similar to a large extent. The genes of the hox complex regulate various pathways to bring about the development or modification of different organs. Ubx, a gene of the bithorax hox complex is expressed in the third thoracic segment of insects and is known to specify the fate of wing appendage in that segment.To understand the role of Ubx and how its regulatory mechanism has evolved through the course of evolution we have compared its genome wide targets in different insect orders. The identification of regulatory pathways and the key players Ubx regulates is crucial to understand how it has controlled wing development across insect orders. Our lab has previously identified direct targets of Ubx in Drosophila using ChIP-chip (Agrawal et al, 2011). To further our knowledge on the role of regulation in development and modification of hind wing appendage we have studied the targets in the hind wings of other insects (silk moth; Lepidoptera and honeybee; Hymenoptera) and performed a comparative analysis. We have employed ChIP followed by illumina sequencing to identify the targets of Ubx in developing hind and fore wing buds of Bombyx larvae. This is a first next generation sequencing study in Lepidoptera in an attempt to understand wing development. Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) was used to identify genome wide targets bound by Ubx in Bombyx larval wing buds. The experiment to enrich Ubx bound regions was carried out using a Bombyx N terminal-Ubx specific poylclonal antibody raised in Rabbit and purified against a Protein A column to obtain IgG fraction. An Immunoprecipitation (IP) with Normal Rabbit IgG was used as a negative control to eliminate the regions that pertained to non specific binding to an Immunogloubulin. The normalization of both ChIP and IgG was done against sequenced input chromatin. Two replicates of single end 36 bp reads were sequenced using Ilumina for all the three conditions and for both fore and hind wing tissue samples.The peaks common to both the replicates were considered after applying a FDR cutoff.The fore wing target set was used for comparison with the hind wing targets.

Project description:Background: RNA-seq is revolutionizing the way we study transcriptomes. mRNA can be surveyed without prior knowledge of gene transcripts. Alternative splicing of transcript isoforms and the identification of previously unknown exons are being reported. Initial reports of differences in exon usage, and splicing between samples as well as quantitative differences among samples are beginning to surface. Biological variation has been reported to be larger than technical variation. In addition, technical variation has been reported to be in line with expectations due to random sampling. However, strategies for dealing with technical variation will differ depending on the magnitude. The size of technical variance, and the role of sampling are examined in this manuscript. Results: Independent Solexa/Illumina experiments containing technical replicates are analyzed. When coverage is low, large disagreements between technical replicates are apparent. Exon detection between technical replicates is highly variable when the coverage is less than 5 reads per nucleotide and estimates of gene expression are more likely to disagree when coverage is low. Although large disagreements in the estimates of expression are observed at all levels of coverage. Conclusions: Technical variability is too high to ignore. Technical variability results in inconsistent detection of exons at low levels of coverage. Further, the estimate of the relative abundance of a transcript can substantially disagree, even when coverage levels are high. This may be due to the low sampling fraction and if so, it will persist as an issue needing to be addressed in experimental design even as the next wave of technology produces larger numbers of reads. We provide practical recommendations for dealing with the technical variability, without dramatic cost increases. Three independent samples of D. melanogaster female heads were collected with each sample representing a unique pool of biological material. Each sample was prepared according to manufacturer's instructions and then the same library was run on two lanes of a Solexa/Illumina flow cell, resulting in two technical replicates for each biological replicate, runs were 36 base-pair paired end.

Project description:A total of 432 genes were found to be differentially expressed in M1SF370 bacterial population internalized in Detroit 562 human pharyngeal cells when compared with the same strain incubated in the absence of Detroit 562 cells. While most of them (349/432 i.e. 80.8%) were up regulated, 83 genes were down regulated contributing to 19.2% of the total differentiated genes. The major contributor of the latter category was phage-related genes (35 genes). Almost ¼ of these genes (106) belonged to a category of Unknown or possible predicted function. Most notably, up-regulated genes belonged to amino acid transport , cell division, cell envelope biogenesis, DNA replication correlated well with up-regulated 67 genes belonged to translation and ribosomal structure. Further, up-regulation of 12/15 virulence-related genes indicated that human host cell internalized bacteria are highly virulent as compared to laboratory grown culture in test-tubes. S. pyogenes strain type M1 SF370 (wild-type) was procured from ATCC (ATCC 700294). Detroit 562 pharyngeal cells were obtained from ATCC and maintained in MEM with 10% FBS in humidified CO2-incubator. Purified cDNA preparations from the Detroit cells-internalized bacteria and that were cultured without Detroit cells, were labeled with either Alexafluor-555 or Alexafluor-647 depending on the experimental design ( i.e. dye swap experiment). Differentially labeled probes were then combined and purified. Using four independently isolated RNA preparations (biological replicates), a total of 8 experiments (incorporating 4 dye swaps) were performed. Accordingly eight hybridization measurements for this mutant were obtained. Exp-1 and -2 (GSM687276, GSM687310-dye swap) are the technical replicates of the biological sample-1, Exp-3 and -4 (GSM687311, GSM687312-dye swap) are technical replicates of biological sample-2, Exp-5 and -6, (GSM687313,GSM687319-dye swap,) are technical replicates of the biological sample-3, and finally Exp-7 and -8, (GSM687320,GSM687321-dye swap) are technical replicates of the biological sample-4. .
