Project description:we show an overview of experimental GAPDH interactome in different phases of P. lutzii. Several proteins bound to GAPDH from mycelium, transition and yeast are common to important pathways such as glycolysis and TCA.
Project description:Our study focuses on understanding the changes in chromatin accessibility in the Pgk-DeltaE2F mutant that takes place during flight muscles development in Drosophila. E2F binding sites were mutated upstream Pgk gene. E2F/Dp/Rbf were no longer recruited to this regulatory region. As a result of this, the expression of Pgk mRNA was downregulated, which led to reduced levels in many metabolites that are glycolytic and TCA intermediates. Using ATAC-seq we determined that there was a global reduction in chromatin accessibility in the mutant compared to control, and it was accompagnied by a widespread reduction in gene expression, including metabolic genes. In addition we identified a broad range of phenotypes when analyzing the functional relevance of E2F regulation on Pgk gene. These phenotypes range from low ATP content, abnormal mitochondrial morphology, shortened life span to embrionic lethality. Furthermore, defects in high-energy consuming organs, such as ovaries and muscles, were found. In sum, our results illustrate the pleiotropic effects on metabolism, gene expression and development in the Pgk-deltaE2F animals, which underlies the importance of E2F regulation on a single E2F target, Pgk.

Project description:Whole genome microarrays were probed with total mRNA from PTD-DRBD GAPDH siRNA treated H1299 cells at 12 h and 24 h. Using a 1.6x fold increase/decrease filter of cellular mRNAs, we detected a dramatic reduction in the target GAPDH mRNA along with a limited number of both up and down regulated genes. The up regulated genes were reduced in numbers and to nearly background 1.6x levels at 24 h, while the down regulated genes increased slightly in numbers and maintained a similar magnitude at 24 h. In contrast, lipofection treated cells showed both a dramatic increase in both the total number of genes altered and the magnitude of the increase. In addition, the numbers of genes affected increased between 12 h and 24 h, suggesting that lipofection of siRNAs into cells results in a substantial alteration to the transcriptome and may thereby confound interpretation of experimental outcomes. Moreover, the GAPDH specific knockdown was significantly smaller than PTD-DRBD mediated knockdown.
