Project description:During thermotolerance development, B. subtilis cells can be primed by a short mild heat shock to survive a subsequent severe, otherwise lethal, heat stress. We wanted to assess the influence of transcriptional regulation during thermotolerance development in B. subtilis. We prepared total RNA of four differently treated samples of B. subtilis cells. For this purpose, exponential B. subtilis cells grown at 37 °C were divided and exposed for additional 15 min to temperatures of 37 °C, 48 °C, 53 °C or 15 min 48 °C followed by 15 min at 53 °C. Using four different merged dye swap experiments of red or green labelled cDNA of the above described RNA preparations, we compared and analyzed the transcriptional change of the conditions 48 °C vs. 53/48 °C (array 1), 37 °C vs. 53 °C (array 2), 37 °C vs. 48 °C (array 3) and especially 37/53°C vs. 53/48 °C (array 4)

Project description:Bacterial and eukaryotic cells survive an otherwise lethal heat shock once they are primed by a mild pre-heat shock. Using B. subtilis as a model organism, we investigated transcriptional changes during thermotolerance development at 37 °C, 48 °C, 53 °C and 48/53 °C and observed a comprehensive upregulation of genes of the general and heat shock response and the downregulation of many translation-related genes. In addition, strains lacking (p)ppGpp (ppGpp0) or with elevated (p)ppGpp levels (ΔrelA) were analyzed at 37 °C and 48 °C, revealing broad and pleiotropic transcripional changes mediated by (p)ppGpp in the ΔrelA mutant. In addition, our data suggests a contribution of the (p)ppGpp-mediated stringent response in the heat-mediated transcripional down-regulation of ribosomal genes and additional processes.

Project description:From preliminary experiments, HSP70 deficient MEF cells display moderate thermotolerance to a severe heatshock of 45.5 degrees after a mild preshock at 43 degrees, even in the absence of hsp70 protein. We would like to determine which genes in these cells are being activated to account for this thermotolerance. Keywords: thermal stress, heat shock response, knockout, cell culture, hsp70

Project description:Here, B. subtilis was used as a model organism to investigate how cells respond and adapt to proteotoxic stress conditions. Our experiments suggested that the stringent response, caused by raised levels of the (p)ppGpp alarmone, plays a role during thermotolerance development and the heat shock response. Accordingly, our experiments revealed a rapid increase of cellular (p)ppGpp levels upon heat shock as well as salt- and oxidative stress. Strains lacking (p)ppGpp exhibited increased stress sensitivity, while raised (p)ppGpp levels conferred increased stress tolerance to heat- and oxidative stress. During thermotolerance development, stress response genes were highly up-regulated together with a concurrent transcriptional down-regulation of the rRNA, which was influenced by the second messenger (p)ppGpp and the transcription factor Spx. Remarkably, we observed that (p)ppGpp appeared to control the cellular translational capacity and that during heat stress the raised cellular levels of the alarmone were able to curb the rate of protein synthesis. Furthermore, (p)ppGpp controls the heat-induced expression of Hpf and thus the formation of translationally inactive 100S disomes. These results indicate that B. subtilis cells respond to heat-mediated protein unfolding and aggregation, not only by raising the cellular repair capacity, but also by decreasing translation involving (p)ppGpp mediated stringent response to concurrently reduce the protein load for the cellular protein quality control system.

Project description:From preliminary experiments, HSP70 deficient MEF cells display moderate thermotolerance to a severe heatshock of 45.5 degrees after a mild preshock at 43 degrees, even in the absence of hsp70 protein. We would like to determine which genes in these cells are being activated to account for this thermotolerance. Experiment Overall Design: Two cell lines are analyzed - hsp70 knockout and hsp70 rescue cells. 6 microarrays from the (-/-)knockout cells are analyzed (3 Pretreated vs 3 unheated controls). For the (+/+) rescue cells, 4 microarrays are used (2 pretreated and 2 unheated controls). Cells were plated at 3k/well in a 96 well plate, covered with a gas permeable sealer and heat shocked at 43degrees for 30 minutes at the 20 hr time point. The RNA was harvested at 3hrs after heat treatment.

Project description:Thermotolerance, a key factor essential for the virulence of pathogenic fungi including Cryptococcus neoformans, remains largely unexplored in terms of its underlying mechanism. In this study, our findings demonstrate that Set3C, a widely distributed and conserved histone deacetylase complex, is required for thermotolerance in Cryptococcus neoformans. Specifically, the deletion of the core subunit Set302, responsible for the integrity of the complex, results in a significant reduction in the growth ability under high stress and the viability at extreme temperature. Moreover, the absence of Set302 leads to a decrease in the production of capsule and melanin. Transcriptomics analysis revealed that Set302 regulates a large number of genes compared to normal condition, and their expression is responsive to heat stress. Notably, we observed that Set302 positively influences the expression of genes related to ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) at high temperature. Using GFP-α-synuclein overexpression model, we observed a pronounced accumulation of misfolded proteins under heat stress, consequently inhibiting the thermotolerance of Cryptococcus neoformans. Furthermore, the loss of Set302 exacerbates this inhibition of thermotolerance. Interestingly, set302∆ strain exhibits a similar phenotype under proteasome stress as it does under high temperature. We also found that set302∆ strain displayed significantly reduced pathogenicity and colonization ability compared to the wild-type strain in the murine infection model. Collectively, our findings indicate that Set302 modulates the degradation of misfolded proteins through the UPS pathway, thereby affecting the thermotolerance and pathogenicity of Cryptococcus neoformans.

Project description:High temperature (HT) stress is a major environmental stress that limits cotton growth, metabolism, and yield worldwide. The identification and characterization of thermotolerance is restricted by the plant growth environment and growth stage. In this study, four genotypes of upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) with known field thermotolerance were evaluated under normal and HTs at the seedlings stage in a growth cabinet with 11 physiological, biochemical, and phenotypic assays. Consistent with previous field observations, the thermotolerance could be identified by genotype differences at the seedling stage under HT in a growth cabinet. Comparative transcriptome analysis was performed on seedlings of two contrasting cotton genotypes after 4 and 8 hours of HT exposure. Gene ontology analysis combined with BLAST annotations revealed a large number of HT-induced differentially expressed genes (4,698) that either exhibited higher expression levels in the heat-tolerant genotype (Nan Dan Ba Di Da Hua) compared with the heat-sensitive genotype (Earlistaple 7), or were differentially expressed only in Nan Dan Ba Di Da Hua. These genes encoded mainly protein kinases, transcription factors, and heat shock proteins, which were considered to play key roles in thermotolerance in upland cotton. Two heat shock transcription factor genes (homologs of AtHsfA3, AtHsfC1) and AP2/EREBP family genes (homologs of AtERF20, AtERF026, AtERF053, and AtERF113) were identified as possible key regulators of thermotolerance in cotton. Some of the differentially expressed genes were validated by quantitative real-time PCR analysis. Our findings provide candidate genes that could be used to improve thermotolerance in cotton cultivars.
