Project description:Eukaryotic cells are constantly challenged by the presence of reactive oxygen species, which play an important role in aging and human disease progression. In particular, acute oxidative stress can lead to extensive damage to cellular DNA, proteins, and lipids and can trigger a response that remodels the transcriptional and translational state of the cell. Although a number of previous studies have profiled the relative changes in mRNA and protein and more studies revealing the dynamics of transcription and translation in response to stress are starting to emerge, a quantitative view of this response has been lacking. Here, we have applied quantitative methods to characterize the time dynamics of mRNA and protein levels in the oxidative stress response of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, which has allowed us to perform dynamic modeling of responsive genes in units of copies per cell. Analysis of the resulting time dynamics provided a new genome-wide view of the scale, timing and rates of transcription and translation in the transient response. The majority of dynamic genes were observed to be responsive in their mRNA or protein levels alone implying extensive translational regulation. Nevertheless, modeling of genes with responsive mRNA and protein levels showed that protein levels could, in a majority of these cases, be accurately predicted with constant translation and decay rates while a minority benefited from explicit translation delay parameters. A number of independent features, e.g. measures of codon bias, ribosome occupancy, etc., were found to be less correlated to maximally perturbed protein levels than steady-state levels. Codon bias measures were more correlated than mRNA levels to quantitative protein levels at both perturbed and un-perturbed states. Measures of translation activity, on the other hand, were only significantly correlated at steady state. In total 32 samples: 11 for stressed time series R1, 11 for stressed time series R2, 5 for control time series C1 and 5 for control time series C2

Project description:Usage of synonymous codons represents a characteristic pattern of preference in each organism. It has been inferred that such bias of codon usage has evolved as a result of adaptation for efficient synthesis of proteins. Here we examined synonymous codon usage in genes of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, and compared codon usage bias with expression levels of the gene. In this organism, synonymous codon usage bias was correlated with expression levels of the gene; the bias was most obvious in two-codon amino acids. A similar pattern of the codon usage bias was also observed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Arabidopsis thaliana, and Caenorhabditis elegans, but was not obvious in Oryza sativa, Drosophila melanogaster, Takifugu rubripes and Homo sapiens. As codons of the highly expressed genes have greater influence on translational efficiency than codons of genes expressed at lower levels, it is likely that codon usage in the S. pombe genome has been optimized by translational selection through evolution. Relative amounts of mRNA for each ORF were measured by DNA microarray using genomic DNA as a reference, and the copy number of mRNA was calculated using an estimate of the total mRNA number in the cell as 100,000 copies.

Project description:Quantitative studies of the P. falciparum transcriptome have shown that the tightly controlled progression of the parasite through the intraerythrocytic developmental cycle (IDC) is accompanied by a continuous gene expression cascade where most expressed genes exhibit a single transcriptional peak. Since proteins represent the decisive business end of gene expression, understanding the correlation between mRNA and protein levels is crucial for inferring biological activity from transcriptional gene expression data. While pertinent studies on other organisms show that as little as 20-40% of protein abundance variation may be attributable to corresponding mRNA levels, the situation in Plasmodium is further complicated by the dynamic nature of the cyclic gene expression cascade where the mRNA levels of most genes change constantly during the IDC. In this study, we simultaneously determined mRNA and protein abundance profiles for P. falciparum parasites during the IDC at 2-hour resolution based on spotted oligonucleotide microarrays and 2D-protein gels in combination with DIGE fluorescent dyes. Intriguingly, most proteins are represented by more than one isoform, presumably due to post-translational modifications. Analysis of 366 protein abundance profiles and the corresponding mRNA levels shows that in 67.2% of cases the protein abundance peaks at least 8 hours after the mRNA level peak. While it may be tempting to interpret this as evidence for widespread post-transcriptional gene regulation additional analyses including computer modeling demonstrate that in >60% of these cases the observed protein profiles including the peak lag times could arise as a consequence of the corresponding mRNA levels when simple translation and degradation dynamics are assumed. We further characterize and illustrate these dynamics and show that even human host proteins within the parasite may be subject to similar dynamics as their parasite counterparts. 24 timepoint samples were harvested from a tightly synchronous 6.5 liter biofermenter culture of P. falciparum (Dd2) at 2-hour intervals during one entire intraerythrocytic developmental cycle and compared against a 3D7 RNA reference pool.

Project description:Tristetraprolin is a vertebrate CCCH tandem zinc finger protein that can bind to and destabilize certain mRNAs containing AU-rich element binding sites. zfs1 is the single gene in the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, that encodes a protein containing the critical features of the tristetraprolin zinc finger domain. zfs1 has been linked to pheromone signal transduction control and to the coordination of mitosis, but no biological function has been ascribed to the zfs1 protein. Through a functional genomics approach we compared transcript levels in wild-type and zfs1-deficient S. pombe strains; those elevated in the zfs1-deficient strain were examined for the presence of potential tristetraprolin-like binding sites. One such potential target transcript was encoded by arz1, a gene encoding a protein of unknown function that contains armadillo repeats. arz1 mRNA decay was inhibited in the zfs1-deficient strain when it was expressed under the control of a thiamine-repressible promoter. Mutations within one AU-rich element present in the arz1 3’-untranslated region protected this transcript from zfs1-promoted decay, whereas mutating another potential binding site had no effect. Binding assays confirmed a direct interaction between zfs1 and arz1 mRNA-based probes; this interaction was eliminated when key residues were mutated in either zfs1 zinc finger. zfs1 and its targets in S. pombe represent a useful model system for studies of zinc finger protein/AU-rich element interactions that result in mRNA decay. Keywords: knockout comparison, steady-state analysis Overall design: S. pombe wild-type and zfs1-deficient strains were grown to 1.0 A600 in EMM+5S at 30°C for steady state analysis. Total cellular RNA was prepared from four replicate cultures.
