Transcription profiling of fission yeast meiosis and sporulation

ABSTRACT: Study of the meiotic transcriptional profile of transcription factor mutants. The transcription factors atf21 and atf31 are highly induced during the meiotic divisions and required for proper spore formation. To identify possible targets of these transcription factors we compared the transcriptional profile of atf21 and atf31 mutants with that of wild type cells undergoing meiosis. We used haploid h90 cells for this experiment. Removal of nitrogen from the medium induces mating to form diploids, which immediately undergo meiosis and sporulation. This type of meiosis is not very synchronous. This experiment is part of a series, E-SNGR-2 to E-SNGR-7.

The transcriptional program of meiosis and sporulation in fission yeast.

Mata Juan J Lyne Rachel R Burns Gavin G Bähler Jürg J

Nature genetics 20020805 1

Sexual reproduction requires meiosis to produce haploid gametes, which in turn can fuse to regenerate a diploid organism. We have studied the transcriptional program that drives this developmental process in Schizosaccharomyces pombe using DNA microarrays. Here we show that hundreds of genes are regulated in successive waves of transcription that correlate with major biological events of meiosis and sporulation. Each wave is associated with specific promoter motifs. Clusters of neighboring genes ...[more]

Transcription profiling of fission yeast meiosis and sporulation

Project description:Transcriptional profile of fission yeast meiosis and sporulation. Fission yeast cells undergo meiosis and sporulation under conditions of nutritional stress, most frequently nitrogen starvation. This is a complex developmental process, which results in the formation of four spores that are highly resistant to environmental stress. We have carried out time courses of diploid fission yeast cells undergoing meiosis and sporulation. To achieve the best possible synchrony we have used thermosensitive mutants in the meiotic inhibitor pat1. We first pre-synchronized the cells in G1 by removal of nitrogen at the permissive temperature for pat1, and then induced meiosis by inactivating pat1 with a temperature shift. pat1-induced meiosis is a standard technique, resulting in a highly synchronous meiosis that is very similar to the normal process. The use of pat1 mutants and a temperature-shift may cause some artifacts, so these results should be viewed together with temperature shift controls and especially with the results of the time course done with wild type diploids, available under accession numbers E-SNGR-3 to E-SNGR-7. In all cases we used as reference a pool consisting of equal amounts of RNA from all time points of the experiment. This experiment describes the first biological replicate for pat1 using array design A-SNGR-2. Note that there are three other biological replicates, which use array design A-SNGR-1 in experiment E-SNGR-2.

Transcription profiling of fission yeast meiosis and sporulation

Project description:pat1 meiosis is very synchronous (see E-SNGR-2), but the use of a temperature shift and the prolonged nitrogen starvation can lead to artifacts. As a control for the E-SNGR-2 experiment, non-sporulating pat1+ diploids were treated exactly as in the protocol for E-SNGR-2 cells. Under these conditions the cells re-enter the mitotic cycle. As a reference we used a pool consisting of equal amount of RNA from all time points of the experiments. This experiment is part of a series, E-SNGR-2 to E-SNGR-7.

Project description:pat1 meiosis is very synchronous (see E-SNGR-2), but the use of a temperature shift and the prolonged nitrogen starvation can lead to artifacts. As a control for the pat1 experiment,non-sporulating pat1+ diploids were treated exactly as in the protocol for pat1 cells, with the exception that no nitrogen was added at the time of the temperature shift. Under these conditions the cells remain blocked in G1. As a reference we used a pool consisting of equal amount of RNA from all time points of the experiments.

Transcription profiling time series of mei4delta mutant fission yeast during meiosis

Project description:Changes in gene expression are hallmarks of cellular differentiation. Sexual differentiation in fission yeast (Schizosaccharomyces pombe) provides a model system for gene expression programs accompanying and driving cellular specialization. The expression of hundreds of genes is modulated in successive waves during meiosis and sporulation in S. pombe, and several known transcription factors are critical for these processes. We used DNA microarrays to investigate meiotic gene regulation by examining transcriptomes after genetic perturbations (gene deletion and/or overexpression) of rep1, mei4, atf21 and atf31, which encode known transcription factors controlling sexual differentiation. This analysis reveals target genes at a genome-wide scale and uncovers combinatorial control by Atf21p and Atf31p. We also studied two transcription factors that are upregulated during meiosis but had not been previously implicated in sexual differentiation : Rsv2p induces stress-related genes during spore formation, while Rsv1p acts as a repressor for glucose-metabolism genes. Our data further reveal negative feedback interactions: both Rep1p and Mei4p not only activate specific gene expression waves (early and middle genes, respectively), but are also required for repression of genes induced in the previous waves (Ste11p-dependent and early genes, respectively).

Comparison of gene expression during meiosis between wild-type and rad50-deficient strains of Coprinopsis cinerea

Project description:Meiosis was compared in rad50-1 and wild type strains of C. cinerea at 6 time points spanning the meiotic timecourse. Abstract: The basidiomycete Coprinopsis cinerea is well-suited to studies of meiosis because meiosis progresses synchronously in ten million cells within each mushroom cap. Approximately 20% of C. cinerea genes exhibit changing expression during meiosis, but meiosis and mushroom development happen concurrently so differentially expressed genes might not be directly involved in meiotic processes. Using microarrays, we examined global gene expression across a meiotic time course in two mutants in which meiosis arrests but mushrooms develop normally. Genes differentially expressed in the mutants compared to wild type are likely to be involved in meiosis and sporulation as opposed to mushroom development. In rad50-1, which arrests in late prophase, RNA abundance for a group of early meiotic genes remains high, while the expression of a group of late meiotic genes is never induced. In contrast, in msh5-22 (which fails to undergo pre-meiotic DNA replication), both early and late meiotic genes are underexpressed relative to wild type at late meiotic time points as the cells die. Genes that are differentially expressed in both mutants are particularly strong candidates for playing roles in meiosis and sporulation.
