Project description:Measurement of expression levels as a time course after shifting temperature-sensitive splicing factor mutant cells from 23C to 37C. Analysis of WT SS330, prp17 null, prp17-1 and prp22-1 cells. Samples were analyzed at 0, 5, 15, 30, 60 and 120 min. Keywords = pre-mRNA splicing Keywords = time course Keywords = intron Keywords: time-course
Project description:Prp4-1 and wt strains were grown at 26°C to A600 of 1.0, then an equal volume of 48°C media was added to bring the temperature to 37°C. Both strains were allowed to grow at 37°C and samples were taken at 0 (before shift), 5, 15, 30, 60, and 120 mins after shift to restrictive temperature. Keywords = splicing Keywords: time-course
Project description:In this study, we analyzed the pre-mRNA splicing status in wild-type Col, atprmt5 mutants, and two atprmt5 suppressors (m90 and s215). RNA-seq analyses revealed that m90 and s215 can partially rescue the pre-mRNA splicing defects in atprmt5 mutants. Further study showed that m90 and s215 were identified in the highly conserved pre-mRNA splicing factor 8 (AtPrp8) and demonstrated that Prp19C/NTC complex failed to be assembled into U5 snRNP to form activated spliceosome in atprmt5 mutants, while restored in the suppressor. Our findings uncover a key molecular mechanism for AtPRMT5 in the regulation of pre-mRNA splicing.
Project description:Transcriptional profile of fission yeast meiosis and sporulation. Fission yeast cells undergo meiosis and sporulation under conditions of nutritional stress, most frequently nitrogen starvation. This is a complex developmental process, which results in the formation of four spores that are highly resistant to environmental stress. We have carried out time courses of diploid fission yeast cells undergoing meiosis and sporulation. To achieve the best possible synchrony we have used thermosensitive mutants in the meiotic inhibitor pat1. We first pre-synchronized the cells in G1 by removal of nitrogen at the permissive temperature for pat1, and then induced meiosis by inactivating pat1 with a temperature shift. pat1-induced meiosis is a standard technique, resulting in a highly synchronous meiosis that is very similar to the normal process. The use of pat1 mutants and a temperature-shift may cause some artifacts, so these results should be viewed together with temperature shift controls and especially with the results of the time course done with wild type diploids, available under accession numbers E-SNGR-3 to E-SNGR-7. In all cases we used as reference a pool consisting of equal amounts of RNA from all time points of the experiment. This experiment describes the first biological replicate for pat1 using array design A-SNGR-2. Note that there are three other biological replicates, which use array design A-SNGR-1 in experiment E-SNGR-2.

Project description:Two Arabidopsis thaliana splicing factor [AtU2AF65 isoforms (AtU2AF65a and AtU2AF65b)] mutants displayed the opposite flowering phenotypes. To assay the RNA processing including alternative splicing and pre-mRNA splicing of target genes of this protein in Arabidopsis, the 7-day seedlings (shoot apices) of wild type atu2af65a and atu2af65b mutants were used for RNA-Seq.
