Project description:Microarray analyses revealed strong correlations between firmness of fillet (most important quality parameter) and a large number of genes. Highly similar expression profiles were observed in several functional groups. Positive regression was found between firmness and genes encoding proteasome components (41 genes) and mitochondrial proteins (129 genes), proteins involved in stress responses (12 genes) and lipid metabolism (30 genes). A weaker though highly significant negative regression was seen in sugar metabolism (26 genes) and myofiber proteins (42 genes). Among individual genes that showed a strong association with firmness, there were extracellular matrix proteins (negative correlation), immune genes and intracellular proteases (positive correlation). Several genes can be regarded as candidate markers of flesh quality (coiled-coil transcriptional coactivator b, AMP deaminase 3 and oligopeptide transporter 15) though their functional roles are unclear. Fillet firmness in a population of farmed Atlantic salmon with known pedigree. Sixteen individuals were chosen to cover the normal range of this trait.

Project description:Sexual maturation causes loss of fish muscle mass and deterioration of fillet quality attributes that prevent market purpose. We recently showed that fillet yield and flesh quality are recovered in female trout after spawning. To gain insights into the molecular mechanisms regulating flesh quality recovery we conducted a time-course analysis of large-scale gene expression in trout muscle from spawning to 33 weeks post-spawning. Using an Agilent-based microarray plate-form, we identified about 5500 unique genes that were differentially expressed during the post-spawning period. These genes segregated into four major clusters with distinct temporal expression profile and functional categories. A first cluster containing around 2000 genes down-regulated after 4 weeks after spawning was enriched in genes linked to mitochondrial ATP synthesis, fatty acid catabolism and proteolysis. A second cluster comprising about 1200 genes with early and transient induction between 2 to 8 weeks post-spawning was enriched in genes involved in RNA processing, translation, ribosome biogenesis and protein folding. A third cluster containing about 700 genes up-regulated from 4 weeks post-spawning onwards was enriched in genes encoding ribosomal subunits or regulating translation and cell cycle. At last a fourth cluster which contained about 1000 genes with late up-regulation from 13 weeks post- spawning onwards, was dominated by genes encoding myofibrillar proteins and matricial components and genes involved in glycolysis. On the whole our study indicates that muscle tissue restoration and flesh quality recovery occurring after spawning is mainly associated with anaerobic ATP production, muscle fibre hypertrophic growth, fatty acid metabolism and extracellular matrix remodelling. The generation of the first database of genes associated with post-spawning muscle recovery will allow future mechanistic studies and facilitate identification of genetic markers for fish muscle yield and quality traits.

Project description:Proteins belonging to the Gls24 superfamily are involved in survival of pathogenic Gram-positive cocci under oligotrophic conditions and other types of stress, by a still unknown molecular mechanism. In Firmicutes, this superfamily includes three different valine-rich orthologal families (Gls24A, B, C) with different potential interactive partners. Whereas the Streptococcus pneumoniae Δgls24A deletion mutant experienced a general long growth delay, the Δgls24B mutant grew as the parental strain in the semisynthetic AGCH medium but failed to grow in the complex Todd-Hewitt medium. Bovine seroalbumin (BSA) was the component responsible for this phenotype. The effect of BSA on growth was concentration-dependent and was maintained when the protein was proteolyzed but not when heat-denatured, suggesting that BSA dependence was related to oligopeptide supplementation. Global transcriptional analyses of the knockout mutant revealed catabolic derepression and induction of chaperone and oligopeptide transport genes. This mutant also showed increased sensibility to cadmium and high temperature. The Δgls24B mutant behaved as a poor colonizer in the nasopharynx of mice and showed 20-fold competence impairment. Experimental data suggest that Gls24B plays a central role as a sensor of amino acid availability and its connection to sugar catabolism. This metabolic rewiring can be compensated in vitro, at the expenses of external oligopeptide supplementation, but reduce important bacteria skills prior to efficiently address systemic virulence traits. This is an example of how metabolic factors conserved in enterococci, streptococci, and staphylococci can be essential for survival in poor oligopeptide environments prior to infection progression.

Project description:In this study, we used correlation analysis of the expression profiles and drip loss to produce a list of functional candidate genes under the assumption that genes with strong correlation between their expression values and drip belong to pathways or networks relevant for the control of the trait. Expression QTL analyses for transcripts showing trait dependent expression were done in order to identify genes which show trait associated expression, map to pQTL regions, and exhibit cis regulation. Experiment Overall Design: 74 F2 animals of a resource population based on the breeds Duroc and Pietrain known to differ in meat quality and quantity traits were hybridized to Affymetrix Porcine Genome Arrays.

Project description:In Gram-positive bacteria, cell-cell communication mainly relies on cytoplasmic sensors of the RNPP family. Activity of these regulators depends on their binding to secreted signaling peptides that are imported into the cell. These quorum sensing regulators control important biological functions in bacteria of the Bacillus cereus group, such as virulence and necrotrophism. The RNPP quorum sensor PlcR, in complex with its cognate signaling peptide PapR, is the main regulator of virulence in B. cereus and Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). Recent reports have shown that the global stationary phase regulator CodY, involved in adaptation to nutritional limitation, is required for the expression of virulence genes belonging to the PlcR regulon. However, the mechanism underlying this regulation was not described. Using genetics and proteomics approaches, we showed that CodY regulates the expression of the virulence genes through the import of PapR. We report that CodY positively controls the production of the proteins that compose the oligopeptide permease OppABCDF, and of several other Opp-like proteins. It was previously shown that the pore components of this oligopeptide permease, OppBCDF, were required for the import of PapR. However, the role of OppA, the substrate-binding protein (SBP), was not investigated. Here, we demonstrated that OppA is not the only SBP involved in the recognition of PapR, and that several other OppA-like proteins can allow the import of this peptide. Altogether, these data complete our model of quorum sensing during the lifecycle of Bt and indicate that RNPPs integrate environmental conditions, as well as cell density, to coordinate the behavior of the bacteria throughout growth.

Project description:The quality of the pepper fruit is significantly influenced by the properties of its surface such as color, glossiness and texture. The fruit surface is composed of a peel containing several layers including the cuticle, epidermis and the hypodermis. The peel acts as a protective barrier against biotic and abiotic stresses and is the most critical tissue affecting water loss during post harvest storage. The peel is composed of an outer epidermis with thick waxy (lipid) cuticle and few cell layers of thick-walled hypodermal cells. Despite its agronomic importance and due to the fact that the majority of studies in fruits have been conducted using flesh and peel tissues as a whole, the biochemical and genetic bases of variation in peel properties are largely unknown. In this proposal we aim to determine peel-specific gene expression in pepper by micro array hybridizations of peel and flesh RNA extracted at different developmental stages of the fruit. The cultivar Celica (Capsicum annuum) that has a large blocky fruit will be used for studying gene expression in the peel and flesh. Plants were grown in the greenhouse during the spring of 2006. Fruits were harvested at three developmental stages: young- 10 days after anthesis, mature green- 30 days after anthesis and ripe red- 45 days after anthesis. These stages were chosen because each represents a distinct phase in fruit development. At each stage, a biological replicate consists of bulked tissue from 3 fruits from each of 3 plants (a total of 9 fruits). We have a total of 4 biological replicates. For each fruit, the peel was separated from the flesh by manual dissection using thin forceps and scalpel blade. Peel and flesh samples were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -800C until RNA extraction. Total RNA was extracted using the GenElute Mammalian Total RNA Miniprep kit (Sigma).

Project description:Recently, senescence has been suggested as a defense mechanism to block sporadic induction of cancer cells. Radiation treatment induces proliferating cancer cells to turn into non-proliferating senescent cells in vitro. To characterize transcriptional reprogramming after radiation treatment, we measured the gene expression profiles of MCF7 at different time points after treatment. In these experiments, we found that IR induced premature senescence in MCF7 cells, and IR treatment resulted in significant changes in the expression of 305 marker genes (less than 1% FDR), which were strongly correlated (|r|>0.9) with IR treatment in a time-dependent manner. Functional analysis of these markers indicated that the dynamics of cytoskeletal structure and lysosomal activity gradually increased. The expression of marker genes for modulator proteins, that were responsible for the dynamics of actin stress fibers and focal adhesion, displayed a particularly strong positive correlation with senescence-associated (SA) morphological changes through time. We also observed a strong induction of genes related to lysosomal metabolic activity, which was accompanied by an increase in the number of SA-beta-Gal positive cells. However, the expression of genes for the cell cycle progression, the post-transcription and the translation activities gradually decreased after radiation treatment. Especially, we observed clear cell cycle arrest specifically at the S and G2/M phases with consistent down-regulation of genes for microtubule assembly/disassembly or spindle biogenesis. Gene expression profiles were obtained from human MCF7 cells after ionizing radiation (6 Gy) at day 0 (no ionizing radiation), day 1 (after ionizing radiation), day 2, day 3, and day 4.
