Salinity severely threatens land use capability and crop yields worldwide. Understanding the mechanisms that protect soybeans from salt stress will help in the development of salt-stress tolerant leguminous plants. Here we initially analyzed the changes in malondialdehyde levels, the activities of superoxide dismutase and peroxidases, chlorophyll content, and Na(+)/K(+) ratios in leaves and roots from soybean seedlings treated with 200 mM NaCl at different time points. We found that the 200 mM N ...[more]

Project description:Here, we examined the ramifications of between-species diversity by documenting the transcriptional response of three marine diatoms - Thalassiosira pseudonana, Fragilariopsis cylindrus, and Pseudo-nitzschia multiseries - to the onset of nitrate limitation of growth, a common limiting nutrient in the ocean. Less than 5% of orthologous genes, shared across the three diatoms, displayed the same transcriptional responses across species when growth was limited by nitrate availability. Orthologs, such as those involved in nitrogen uptake and assimilation, as well as carbon metabolism, were differently expressed across the three species. The two pennate diatoms, F. cylindrus and P. multiseries, shared 3,839 clusters without orthologs in the genome of the centric diatom T. pseudonana. A majority of these pennate-clustered genes, as well as the non-orthologous genes in each species, had minimal annotation information, but were often significantly differentially expressed under nitrate limitation, indicating their potential importance in the response to nitrogen availability. Despite these variations in the specific transcriptional response of each diatom, overall transcriptional patterns suggested that all three diatoms displayed a common physiological response to nitrate limitation that consisted of a general reduction in carbon fixation and carbohydrate and fatty acid metabolism and an increase in nitrogen recycling. Transcriptomes were collected for diatom cultures harvested at the onset of stationary phase in low nitrate media (55 M-NM-<M NaNO3, 212 M-NM-<M Na2SiO3, 72.4 M-NM-<M NaH2PO4) or during mid-exponential growth in nutrient-replete media (882 M-NM-<M NaNO3, 106 M-NM-<M Na2SiO3, 36.2 M-NM-<M NaH2PO4) in artificial seawater, maintaining three biological replicates per condition and per diatom (N=18). The SOLiD sequencer (version 4) was used to generate the transcriptomes and the SEAStAR software package was used to process the SOLiD reads and to calculate gene counts. Pooled counts for the nitrate-limited treatment were normalized to pooled counts for the nutrient-replete M-bM-^@M-^\controlM-bM-^@M-^] treatment to generate log fold changes in gene transcription using the R software package edgeR from Bioconductor.

Project description:MicroRNAs are important regulatory molecules in most eukaryotes and the identification of their mRNA targets is essential for their functional analysis. From inflorescence tissue of Arabidopsis, >28,000,000 signatures were sequenced from 5’ ends of polyadenylated products of mRNA decay. Within the set of ~27,000 transcripts included in the 3,500,000 non-redundant signatures, several previously predicted but non-validated miRNA targets were found. Like validated targets, most showed a single abundant signature at the miRNA cleavage site, particularly in libraries from a mutant deficient in the 5’ to 3’ exonuclease AtXRN4. Among the most unexpected miRNA targets discovered were miRNA precursor transcripts that are self-targeted by their own mature miRNA. Although the miRNAs of Arabidopsis have been extensively investigated, working in reverse from the cleaved targets, additional novel miRNAs were identified and validated. This deep and versatile approach will impact the study of other aspects of RNA processing beyond miRNA-target RNA pair analyses. Keywords: miRNA-target RNA pairs, Palallel analysis of RNA ends, PARE, SBS RNA from inflorescence tissue from wildtype Arabidopsis and xrn4 mutants was extracted. Following polyA RNA extraction, libraries for PARE were constructed. RNA from inflorescence tissue from wildtype Arabidopsis (Col-0), and rdr2 and dcl2,3,4 mutants was extracted. The material was submitted to Illumina and libraries were constructed for small RNAs. Individual small RNA libraries from inflorescences of Arabidopsis wildtype, rdr2, and dcl2/dcl3/dcl4 were sequenced with SBS at Illumina, Inc. The distribution of small RNA sizes in each library is in agreement with that published previously for the wild type or the respective mutants sequenced with MPSS or 454; however, the presence and abundances of some small RNAs may differ. This may be attributed to the use of different sequencing technologies with different depths, biological differences in the tissue used, or other unknown reasons. raw data requested but not provided for GSM280226 and GSM280227

Project description:The Myc-Max heterodimer is a DNA binding protein that regulates expression of a large number of genes. Genome occupancy of Myc-Max is thought to be driven by E-boxes (CACGTG or variants) to which the heterodimer binds in vitro. By analyzing ChIP-Seq datasets, we demonstrated that the positions occupied by Myc-Max across the human genome correlate with the RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription machinery better than with E-boxes. Metagene analyses showed that in promoter regions, Myc was uniformly positioned about 100 bp upstream of essentially all promoter proximal paused polymerases with Max about 10 bp upstream of Myc. We re-evaluated the DNA binding properties of full length Myc-Max proteins using electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA) and protein-binding microarrays (PBM). EMSA results demonstrated Myc-Max heterodimers have high affinity for both E-box containing and non-specific DNA. Quantification of the relative affinities of Myc-Max for all possible 8- mers using PBM assays showed that sequences surrounding core 6-mers significantly affect binding. Comparing to the in vitro sequence preferences, Myc-Max genomic occupancy measured by ChIP-Seq was largely, although not completely, independent of sequence specificity. Our results suggest that the transcription machinery and associated promoter accessibility play an important role in genomic occupancy of Myc. Two protein binding microarray (PBM) experiments were performed: one for the heterodimer of the human transcription factors c-Myc and Max, and one for the Max-Max homodimer. Briefly, 4x44K arrays (Agilent Technologies; AmadID 015681) containing the M-bM-^@M-^Xall 10-merM-bM-^@M-^Y universal PBM design were used. Arrays were incubated with a PBS buffer based protein mixture of wither 10nM His-tagged Myc-Max heterodimer or 10nM His-tagged Max-Max homodimer, 2% milk, 200ng/M-BM-5L BSA, 50ng/M-BM-5L Salmon Testes DNA, and 0.02% TX-100. Bound protein was tagged with 10ng/M-BM-5L anti-His antibody conjugated to Alexa 488 (Qiagen; 35310) in PBS with 2% milk. Data were analyzed to obtain fluorescence intensities for all 8mers. The PBM protocol is described in Berger et al., Nature Biotechnology 2006 (PMID 16998473).

Project description:Our group is interested in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), in particular, TGF-beta induced EMT. TGF-beta signalling has been shown to be an important factor in the induction of EMT and it has been demonstrated that adding TGF-beta to epithelial cells in culture is a convenient way to study the process of EMT. âIn response to TGF-beta, Smad2 and 3 are activated, and form complexes with Smad4, which then regulate transcription of target genes through interactions with other DNA binding transcription factors. In the induction of EMT, the activated Smads mediate transcriptional regulation through three families of transcription factors, resulting in repression of epithelial marker gene expression and activation of mesenchymal gene expressionâ (Xu J, et al. 2009) Also investigated in this study is the role of H2A.Z in EMT. H2A.Z is an evolutionary conserved and a metazoan essential histone variant of the H2A class. Mice deficient in H2A.Z die during early development but the reason for this is unknown (Faast et al. 2001). Previously, our laboratory showed that the loss of H2A.Z in Xenpous laevis impaired cell movement required for the formation of the mesoderm and neural crest (Ridgway et al. 2004). Given that mesoderm formation is critically dependent upon EMT, we therefore wondered whether H2A.Z might be a chromatin regulator of EMT. We transfected MDCK cells with a lentiviral vector to express a construct encoding an shRNA targeting canine H2A.Z as we wanted to test the hypothesis that H2A.Z is involved in the maintenance of cellular identity and that its loss might trigger de-differentiation. In order to investigate changes in gene expression associated with TGF-beta induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) we performed paired end RNA-Seq of poly-A selected mRNA in untreated and TGFb-treated MDCK cells. The MDCK cell line has been extensively used as a model system for EMT because they convert fully from the epithelial to the mesenchymal state in response to TGF-beta. Gene expression profiles were also generated from MDCK cells in which H2A.Z was knocked down using shRNA. Please note that ChIP-seq data generated in conjunction to this RNA-seq data set were also deposited at ArrayExpress under accession number E-MTAB-5637 ( https://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-MTAB-5637 ).
