Project description:A transcriptomic assessment of a kinase deletion mutant (ΔpkaA) and a control strain revealed many cellular activities this kinase is impacting. Studies were conducted in the model filamentous fungi, Aspergillus nidulans¸ under rich growth conditions. PkaA is a known kinase that mediates a wide range of processes including: nutrient sensing, stress responses, regulation of metabolism, as well as development and pathogenicity. Here, fungi were grown in rich media containing glucose. The comparison between the control strain and the deletion mutant transcript levels revealed previously unknown targets, such as the transcription factor CreA, the main repressor responsible for carbon catabolite repression (CCR).

Project description:The regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) exists in two isoforms, RI and RII, which distinguish the PKA isozymes, type I (PKA-I) and type II (PKA-II). Evidence obtained from a variety of different experimental approaches has shown that the relative levels of type I and type II PKA in cells can play a major role in determining the balance between cell growth and differentiation. RIα transfected cells exhibit hyper-proliferative growth and RIIβ transfected cells revert to a relatively quiescent state. Profiling by microarray revealed equally profound changes in gene expression between RIα, RIIβ, and parental OVCAR cells. Keywords: genetic modification

Project description:When exploring the role of Gαs and β-arrestin in nuclear transcriptional programs downstream from β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR), we noticed a dearth of information on PKA-regulated genes sets. Thus, we first used the tetracycline-regulated expression of wild type PKA Cα subunit in HEK293 cells to develop a PKA signature. This approach revealed multiple PKA-regulated genes, including well known PKA downstream transcriptional targets, such as PCK1 and FOS, and many new PKA transcriptional targets whose underlying mechanism can now be explored.

Project description:The identification and characterization of the transcriptional regulatory networks governing the physiological behaviour and adaptation of microbial cells is a key step in understanding their behaviour. One such wide-domain regulatory circuit, essential to all cells, is carbon catabolite repression (CCR): it allows the cell to prefer some carbon sources, whose assimilation is of high nutritional value, over less profitable ones. This system has been investigated in bacteria, yeast and filamentous fungi. In the latter, the C2H2 zinc finger protein has been shown to act as the central transcriptional repressor in this process. Here, we deciphered the CRE1 regulon by profiling transcription in a wild-type and delta-cre1 mutant strains on glucose in the model cellulose and hemicellulose-degrading fungus Trichoderma reesei (anamorph of Hypocrea jecorina) at constant growth rates known to per se repress and derepress CCR-affected genes.

Project description:To determine how TORC1 and PKA cooperate to regulate cell growth, we performed temporal analysis of gene expression in yeast switched from a non-fermentable substrate, to glucose, in the presence and absence of TORC1 and PKA inhibitors. Quantitative analysis of these data reveals that PKA drives the expression of key cell growth genes during transitions into, and out of, the rapid growth state in glucose, while TORC1 is important for the steady-state expression of the same genes.

Project description:Temperature preference behavior in Drosophila depends on the level of PKA signaling in the mushroom bodies. To identify new components downstream to PKA, we carried out a genome-wide screen for genes regulated by PKA signaling in the mushroom bodies. Using the Gal4-UAS system, we increased or decreased PKA activity in the mushroom bodies by expressing dominant-negative (UAS-PKADN) or constitutively active PKA (UAS-PKACA), respectively. Expression of PKA transgenes was targeted to the mushroom bodies using the mushroom body-specific MB247-Gal4 driver. PKA expression was induced for 12-16 hours in three-day-old adults by inactivating the temperature-sensitive Gal80 at the restrictive temperature. We then analyzed gene-expression profiles to identify the genes showing altered expression levels in response to the high or low PKA activity.

Project description:The opportunistic human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa can utilize several carbon and nitrogen compounds as energy sources, which allows the bacterium to grow on a variety of different environments. Nevertheless, the uptake and utilization of these compounds is organized in a hierarchical manner, which is guaranteed by a mechanism named catabolite repression. In P. aeruginosa catabolite repression is a post-transcriptional process with the translational repressor protein, Crc, as the main component. Crc recognizes CA-motifs (acronym for catabolite activity) present in the vicinity of the ribosome binfing site of corresponding target mRNAs and therefore compete with ribosome binding. Certain conditions, which are mainly related to changes in the carbon to nitrogen ratio, induce the two component system CbrAB, which activates the transcription of the sRNA CrcZ. The sRNA sequesters Crc and allows the translation of the target mRNAs. The main focus of this study was to identify novel direct targets of the CbrAB/Crc system with the use of a transcriptome analysis in combination with the search for CA-motifs. We were able to identify five novel targets (estA, acsA, dctP, bkdR and aroP2), which were involved in the uptake and utilization of less preferred carbon sources and amino acids. Direct interaction of Crc with these genes and the resulting regulation by CbrB and CrcZ were verified using mutational analysis and in vitro and in vivo experiments. Moreover, these targets were discussed in the light of growth and biofilm development in synthetic CF sputum medium which emphasised the importance of the CbrAB/Crc system as a regulator of chronic infection.
