Project description:The oncogene SNAI2 is known to be a master transcription factor that regulates a broad range of cellular processes, including epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). As a transcription factor, there is no doubt that SNAI1/2 could directly regulate the expression of thousands of genes, including lncRNAs. In this study, we took SNAI1/2 as a breakthrough point to screen and identify lncRNAs regulated by SNAI2 in GC. Our data showed that overexpression of SNAI2 caused a 1.5-fold change in the expression of about 654 lncRNAs (|Log2FC| >0.5), and a 2-fold change in the expression of about 123 lncRNAs (|Log2FC| >1).

Project description:GSM1056261-GSM1056272: NFX1-123 has been shown to associate with a number of RNA processing proteins, such as cytoplasmic poly(A) binding proteins (PABPC), to affect mRNA stability and translational efficiency of target genes. The high-risk human papillomavirus type 16E6 (HPV 16E6) induces telomerase activity by activation of hTERT, the catalytic subunit of telomerase. NFX1-123 can bind to hTERT mRNA and increase its stability in HPV 16E6 expressing keratinocytes (16E6 NHKs). Little is known regarding what other transcripts, and downstream signaling pathways, may be dependent on NFX1-123. In order to determine additional cellular transcripts affected by HPV 16E6 and NFX1-123, we assessed global gene expression changes in cells in which NFX1-123 was overexpressed or knocked down by short hairpin RNAs (shRNA) when compared to an isogenic scramble control, in three independently derived 16E6 NHKs GSM1212499-GSM1212510: NFX1-123 has been shown to associate with a number of RNA processing proteins, such as cytoplasmic poly(A) binding proteins (PABPC), to affect mRNA stability and translational efficiency of target genes.

GSM1056261-GSM1056272: Three independent 16E6 expressing NHK cell lines were expanded and transduced with: short hairpin RNA (sh1) that knocked down NFX1-123 by 20%, short hairpin RNA (sh3) that knocked down NFX1-123 by 80%; a non-targeting isogenic shRNA scramble control; or a NFX1-123 overexpression construct with a FLAG-tag (FNFX1-123WT) that increased its RNA expression on average 3.5-fold. In total, twelve samples were used for the microarray, derived from the three initial NHK cell lines.

Project description:Anthracnose disease, caused by Colletotrichum spp., leads to significant postharvest losses in papaya fruit. In this study, we identified a papaya genotype with quantitative resistance to anthracnose and investigated the mechanisms underlying this resistance using microscopy, fruit physicochemical analyses, and transcriptomics. The resistant genotype exhibited several beneficial traits compared to a susceptible genotype, including a thicker cuticular layer, lower stomatal density, greater firmness, and lower total soluble sugars. These characteristics can be considered preformed barriers or constitutive defenses or correlate with reduced susceptibility factors. We also found that the resistant genotype responds more rapidly to fungal presence by synthesizing components that maintain surface and cell wall integrity, such as cutin and cuticular elements, and by depositing callose. In contrast, the susceptible genotype had accumulated more susceptibility factors, including elevated sugar content and activation of CW-degrading enzymes. While the susceptible genotype had a more robust immune response at the later stages of infection, the combination of susceptibility factors and a delayed response to the pathogen was insufficient to control the disease. This study highlights the need to characterize potential susceptibility factors and physicochemical traits to better understand fruit-pathogen interactions. Such knowledge can provide breeding programs with strong targets for developing crop varieties that are less susceptible to fungal diseases yet maintain quality traits that consumers expect.

Project description:The cell wall is a defining feature of plant cells and glues cells to each other. To overcome this physical constraint, plants must process and disconnect cell wall linkages during growth and development. However, little is known about the mechanism guiding cell-cell detachment and cell wall remodeling. Here, we identify two neighboring cell types in Arabidopsis that coordinate their activities to control cell wall processing, thereby ensuring precise abscission to discard organs. One cell type produces a honeycomb structure of lignin, which acts as a mechanical ‘brace’ to localize cell wall breakdown and spatially limit abscising cells. The second cell type undergoes transdifferentiation into epidermal cells, forming protective cuticle, demonstrating de novo specification of epidermal cells, previously thought to be restricted to embryogenesis. Loss of the lignin brace leads to inadequate cuticle formation, resulting in surface barrier defects and susceptible to infection. Altogether, we show how plants precisely accomplish abscission.

Project description:To further understand the abnormal phenotype of the calcineurin mutant strains and identify calcineurin-mediated genes in F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici, we performed RNA sequencing to compare the transcriptome profiles of the wild-type (WT), Δcna1(HFW1) and Δcnb1 (HFW3) mutants. By pairwise analysis, a total of 2139 genes were differentially expressed between WT and Δcna1 mutant based on the selection criteria of four-fold change in expression (Log2 fold change > 2 or < -2, P < 0.05). Among these, 1079 genes were upregulated and 1060 genes were downregulated. Moreover, from the comparison of WT against Δcnb1 mutant, 1412 gene were being regulated, and 840 genes were upregulated while 572 genes were downregulated. To elucidate genes that were regulated by calcineurin in F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici, the gene sets obtained from the pairwise analyses were compared, giving an overlap of 737 genes. Among these, 414 genes were found to be downregulated and 323 were upregulated, indicating that these genes possibly involved in the calcineurin pathway. GO functional analysis showed these transcripts were mainly involved in the oxidation-reduction process, single-organism metabolic process, transporter activity, cofactor binding, and other metabolic and biological processes.

Project description:Comparative proteomics of ER-Golgi membranes from etiolated coleoptiles of maize (Zea mays) and young leaves of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) isolated by flotation centrifugation demonstrate differences in the complement of synthases and glycosyl transferases unique to the type of wall made. Additionally, maize Golgi membranes enriched by flotation were separated further by free-flow electrophoresis (FFE), yielding 3009 proteins, of which 229 were known to function in cell wall synthesis or metabolism. A subset of proteins identified after flotation centrifugation were identified in Golgi membranes but failed to enrich in them. Individual classes of proteins associated with cell wall synthesis were asymmetrically distributed across the fractions of Golgi membranes separated by FFE.

Project description:This study describes surface protein hexosylation in Mycoplasma genitalium, a human urogenital pathogen with a 580-kbp genome; the ruminant pathogen Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. capri; and JCVI-syn3A, a bacterium with a synthetic minimal M. mycoides 543-kbp gene set for growth under axenic conditions. Previous work from our group described a surface protein glycosylation system in the murine pathogens M. pulmonis and M. arthritidis that utilizes hexoses cleaved from oligo-/polysaccharides as glycosyl donors and does not utilize a consensus sequence for glycosyl acceptors. As we have been unable to find a glycosylation knockout while screening mycoplasmas, we hypothesized the hexosylation system was active in these minimal genome mycoplasmas as well as JCVI-Syn3A's M. mycodies parent organism. Our data indicates hexosylation is maintaned in these organisms, and remarkably, the available pool of glycosyl acceptors includes aspartic acid and glutamic acid.

Project description:We did transcription profiling on the effect of glucosamine in Saccharomyces cerevisiae using Research Genetics strains BY4741 (wild type) and 5251 (fks1). Yeast cells exposed to glucosamine in YPD growth medium show a significant increase in chitin content in the lateral cell wall. Likewise, cell wall stress caused by a gene deletion e.g., fks1 also results in elevated chitin. By comparing our data for fks1 with those from the literature we confirmed a strong induction of genes responsive to cell wall integrity, environmental stress as well as genes involved in cell signaling. Wild type cells treated with 15 mM glucosamine for 2 hours did not show any significant change in their transcription profile although the chitin level doubled during this time. For cells continuously exposed to glucosamine (steady state) there was a moderate transcription response, 105 genes showed a two-fold or higher change. The largest groups of up-regulated genes were those involved in mating, sporulation and cell cycle arrest. The largest group of down-regulated genes pertained to mitochondrial respiration. There was little overlap between those genes that have altered transcription from glucosamine treatment and those responsive to the fks1 mutation.
