Comparison of transcriptomic adjustments to availability of sugar, cellular energy, and oxygen in germinating rice embryos

ABSTRACT: During germination, the availability of sugars, oxygen, or cellular energy fluctuates under dynamic environmental conditions, and the global RNA profile of rice genes can be affected by their availabilities. In the aerobically germinating rice embryos, most sugar-regulated genes are responsive to low energy and anaerobic conditions, indicating that sugar-regulation is closely associated with energy and anaerobic signaling. The interference pattern of sugar-regulation by either anaerobic or low energy conditions indicates that induction is likely the more prevalent regulatory mechanism than repression for the alteration in the expression of sugar-regulated genes in aerobically germinating rice embryos. Among the aerobically sugar-regulated genes, limited genes exhibit sugar regulation under anaerobic conditions, indicating that anaerobic conditions strongly influence sugar-regulated gene expression. Anaerobically responsive genes are highly overlapped with low-energy responsive genes. In particular, the expression levels of anaerobically downregulated genes are consistent with those induced by low energy-conditions, suggesting that anaerobic downregulation results from the prevention of aerobic respiration due to the absence of the final electron acceptor, i.e., molecular oxygen. It was noted that abscisic acid (ABA)-responsive genes were over-representative of the genes upregulated under low energy conditions, in contrast to the downregulated genes. This suggests that either ABA itself or upstream signaling components of the ABA signaling pathway are likely to be involved in the signaling pathways activated by low energy conditions.

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most frequent pathogen dominant in complicated urinary tract infections (UTI). To unravel the adaptation strategies of P. aeruginosa to the conditions in the urinary tract and to define the underlying regulatory network an artificial growth system mimicking the conditions in the urinary tract was established. Transcriptome analyses were used to investigate the physiological status of P. aeruginosa under this conditions. We performed comparisons to identify genes induced under artificial urinary tract conditions to unravel the adaptive strategies and the underlying regulatory network used by Pseudomonas aeruginosa during urinary tract infections using Affimetrix GeneChips. Pseudomonas aeruginosa wild type strain PAO1 was grown in an artificial in vitro growth system mimicking the conditions in the urinary tract. Therefore, biofilms were grown on the surface of membrane filters placed on agar plates at 37 Â°C up to the late logarithmic state under aerobic and anaerobic conditions (incubated in an anaerobic beanch). An artificial urine medium (AUM) simulating the averaged urine of an human adult was used as nutrient souce. 10-fold diluted Luria Bertani (LB)-medium was used as reference medium. For growth under oxygen depletion the media were supplemented with 50 mM KNO3 to sustain anaerobic respiration. The biofilms were harveted at this time points and resuspsended in 0.9% (w/v) NaCl. The OD578 of biofilm suspension was 0.8 for all tested conditions. First comparison: Identification of genes induced or repressed under aerobic conditions in the P. aeruginosa wild type PAO1. Here we compared the transcriptome profile of P. aeruginosa PAO1 grown aerobically for 18 h to the late logarithmic phase in biofilms on AUM with the transcriptome profile of the PAO1 strain, which was grown aerobically for 18 h to the late logarithmic phase in biofilms on 10-fold diluted LB. Second comparison: Identification of genes induced or repressed under anaerobic conditions in the P. aeruginosa wild type PAO1. Here we compared the transcriptome profile of P. aeruginosa PAO1 grown anaerobically for 2 days up to the late logarithmic phase in biofilms on AUM supplemented with 50 mM nitrate with the transcriptome profile of the PAO1 strain, which was grown anaerobically for 2 days up to the late logarithmic phase in biofilms on 10-fold diluted LB supplemented with 50 mM nitrate.
