Project description:Most land plants form beneficial associations with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi which improves mineral nutrition, mainly phosphorus and nitrogen in the host plant in exchange for photosynthetically fixed carbon. Most of our knowledge on the AM symbiosis derives from dicotyledonous species. We show that inoculation with the AM fungus Funneliformis mossease stimulates growth and increases Pi content in leaves of the rice cultivar Loto (O. sativa ssp japonica). Although rice is a host for AM fungi, the molecular mechanism underlying the AM symbiosis, in particular the systemic transcriptional responses of shoots to AM inoculation, remain largely elusive. Transcript profiling of the shoots indicated the systemic induction of genes involved in the biosynthesis of phospholipids (phosphoinositides, inositol polyphosphates) and down-regulation of non-phosphorus lipids (galactolipids, sulfolipids) in leaves of mycorrhizal rice. Regulation of phospholipid biosynthesis genes appears to be coordinated with a reduced expression of genes involved in jasmonic acid and ethylene biosynthesis and signaling. Genes involved in phosphate starvation responses and remobilization of Pi were also found to be down-regulated in leaves of mycorrhizal rice. These results demonstrated that the AM symbiosis is accompanied by complex alterations in gene expression in shoots which are potentially important to maintain a stable symbiotic relationship in rice plants.

Project description:The discovery that activation of the Hras gene was the driver mutation for tumor development in mouse skin treated with 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene illuminated the link between environmental and molecular carcinogenesis. Subsequent studies revealed that activating mutations in the closely related Kras gene could also drive skin tumor development and progression under certain conditions. To address a head to head comparison of downstream signaling produced by each activated oncogene primary keratinocytes were isolated from the LSL-HrasG12D and LSL -KrasG12D C57BL/6J mouse models that carry conditionally expressed mutant alleles when a Lox-STOP-Lox segment is excised by Cre recombinase adenovirus treatment. Keratinocytes expressing two mutant alleles of HrasG12D (HH), only one mutant allele of HrasG12D (H), one mutant allele of KrasG12D (K) or one mutant allele of each (HK) were evaluated for differences in downstream signaling, gene expression and the ability to form squamous papillomas orthotopically in vivo.

Project description:In this study, we express an activated form of Notch1 in the mouse mammary luminal lineage and analyse the consequences for tumour formation and the transcriptomic landscape in the luminal lineage. Simultaneous conditional activation of a Notch1 intracellular domain (Notch1 ICD) and EGFP in the luminal lineage was achieved by removal of a stop cassette by CRE-recombinase expression from the whey acidic protein (WAP) promoter. Gene expression differences were analysed by single cell RNA-sequencing.

Project description:Germ-line deletion of the Haster promoter region results in overexpression of Hnf1a in liver, while a variegated phenotype is observed in pancreatic islets, with overexpression or silencing of the Hnf1a gene in different cells. Mouse hybrid experiments show that both activation and silencing mechanisms occur in cis. To assess whether HASTER transcription or RNA transcripts are involved in the regulation of Hnf1a, we have generated a mouse model where the 4xSV40 polyA signal has been inserted downstream of Haster promoters (Haster-Stop allele) to terminate Haster transcription, but leaving the Haster promoter intact. Haster Stop/+ F1 mice with the Haster Stop allele from C57BL/6 origin and wild type allele from the PWK/PhJ origin were used for stain-specific RNA-seq in pancreatic islets and liver. Allele-specific quantification of Hnf1a exon 1 were used to assess the requirement of the Haster transcripts/transcription for Hnf1a expression.

Project description:A mutant previously isolated from a screen of EMS-mutagenized Arabidopsis lines, per1, showed normal root hair development under control conditions but displayed an inhibited root hair elongation phenotype upon Pi deficiency. Additionally, the per1 mutant exhibited a pleiotropic phenotype under control conditions, resembling Pi-deficient plants in several aspects. Under Pi deficiency, the accumulation of Pi and iron was increased in the mutant when compared to the wild-type. Inhibition of root hair elongation upon growth on low Pi media was reverted by treatment with the Pi analog phosphite, suggesting that the mutant phenotype is not the result of a defect in Pi sensing. Reciprocal grafting experiments revealed that the mutant rootstock is sufficient to cause the phenotype. Transcriptional profiling of per1 and wild-type plants subjected to short-term Pi starvation revealed genes that may be important for the signaling of Pi deficiency. We conclude that UBP14 function is crucial for adapting root development to the prevailing local availability of phosphate.

Project description:The objective of this project is to identify genes that are expressed in the Arabidopsis thaliana root tip and that are early induced (or repressed) by phoshate deficiency. Seedlings were germinated and grown (for 6 days) on phosphate rich medium and transfered to either a phosphate poor medium (Pi- = 20uM Pi treatment) or a phosphate rich medium (Pi+ = 500uM, Pi = control). Fifteen and 60 minutes after transfer, the tip (~800um) of the primary root was cut under a dissecting microscope. About 100 root tips per condition were harvested and there mRNA was analysed with the use of microarrays.

Project description:Coordinated distribution of Pi between roots and shoots is an important process that plants use to maintain Pi homeostasis. SHR (SHORT-ROOT) is well-characterized for its function in root radial patterning1-3. Here, we demonstrate a new role of SHR in controlling phosphate (Pi) allocation from roots to shoots by regulating PHOSPHATE1 (PHO1) in the root differentiation zone. We recovered a weak mutant allele of SHR in Arabidopsis which accumulates much less Pi in the shoot and shows constitutive Pi starvation response (PSR) under Pi-sufficient condition. Besides, Pi starvation suppresses SHR protein accumulation and releases its inhibition on the HD-ZIP Ⅲ transcription factor PHB. PHB accumulates and directly binds the promoter of PHO2 to upregulate its transcription, resulting in PHO1 degradation in the xylem-pole pericycle cells. Our findings reveal a previously unrecognized mechanism of how plants repress Pi translocation from roots to shoots in response to Pi starvation.

Project description:Terminating protein translation accurately and efficiently is critical for both protein fidelity and ribosome recycling for continued translation. The three bacterial release factors (RFs) play key roles: RF1 and 2 recognize stop codons and terminate translation; and RF3 promotes disassociation of bound release factors. Probing release factors mutations with reporter constructs containing programmed frameshifting sequences or premature stop codons had revealed a propensity for readthrough or frameshifting at these specific sites, but their effects on translation genome-wide have not been examined. We performed ribosome profiling on a set of isogenic strains with well-characterized release factor mutations to determine how they alter translation globally. Consistent with their known defects, strains with increasingly severe release factor defects exhibit increasingly severe accumulation of ribosomes over stop codons, indicative of an increased duration of the termination/release phase of translation. Release factor mutant strains also exhibit increased occupancy in the region following the stop codon at a significant number of genes. Our global analysis revealed that, as expected, translation termination is generally efficient and accurate, but that at a significant number of genes (≥ 50) the ribosome signature after the stop codon is suggestive of translation past the stop codon. Even native E. coli K-12 exhibits the ribosome signature suggestive of protein extension, especially at UGA codons, which rely exclusively on the reduced function RF2 allele of the K-12 strain for termination. Deletion of RF3 increases the severity of the defect. We unambiguously demonstrate readthrough and frameshifting protein extensions and their further accumulation in mutant strains for a few select cases. In addition to enhancing recoding, ribosome accumulation over stop codons disrupts attenuation control of biosynthetic operons, and may alter expression of some overlapping genes. Together, these functional alterations may either augment the protein repertoire or produce deleterious proteins.

Project description:During extreme physiological stress, the intestinal tract can be transformed into a harsh environment characterized by regio- spatial alterations in oxygen, pH, and phosphate concentration. When the human intestine is exposed to extreme medical interventions, the normal flora becomes replaced by pathogenic species whose virulence can be triggered by various physico-chemical cues leading to lethal sepsis. We previously demonstrated that phosphate depletion develops in the mouse intestine following surgical injury and triggers intestinal P. aeruginosa to express a lethal phenotype that can be prevented by oral phosphate ([Pi]) supplementation. We used a microarray to define the virulence-related genes in P. aeruginosa grown as lawns on NGM at pH7.5 vs pH6.0 All samples for gene expression analysis were prepared in triplicate. P. aeruginosa MPAO1 cells collected from lawns grown on NGM/[Pi]25 mM, pH 6.0 or NGM/[Pi]25, pH 7.5 were used for RNA isolation as previously described. Microarray analysis was performed using Affymetrix P. aeruginosa GeneChips (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA) at the University of Chicago Functional Genomics Facility
