Project description:Zinc (Zn2+) is an important trace metal ion that has been shown to regulate the expression of several (virulence) genes in streptococci. Previously, we analyzed the genome-wide response of S. pneumoniae to Zn2+-stress. In this work, we have performed a transcriptomic analysis to identify genes that are differentially expressed under intracellular Zn2+-limitation. This revealed a number of genes that are highly upregulated in the absence of extracellular Zn2+, amongst which the genes belonging to the regulon of the Zn2+-responsive repressor AdcR, like adcBCA, encoding a Zn2+-dependent ABC-uptake system, adcAII, encoding a Zn2+-binding lipoprotein, and also virulence genes belonging to the Pht family (phtA, phtB, phtD and phtE). Using transcriptome analysis, lacZ-reporter studies, in vitro DNA binding experiments, and in silico operator predictions, we show that AdcR directly represses the promoters of adcRCBA, adcAII-phtD, phtA, phtB and phtE in the presence of Zn2+. AdcR can also function as an activator, since in the presence of Zn2+ it directly induces expression of adh that encodes a Zn2+-containing alcohol dehydrogenase. In conclusion, the genome-wide transcriptional response of S. pneumoniae to Zn2+-limitation was established, which is mainly mediated via direct regulation by the Zn2+-dependent regulator AdcR. Two condition design comparison of Wild-type strain including a dye swap Refer to individual Series. This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE29234: adcR mutant vs wild type D39 GSE29235: Low Zn vs high Zn in CDM

Project description:The purpose of this study was to determine the transcriptomes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis m2 6206 (Mtb) exposed to varying concentration of zinc (Zn2+) in vitro that mimic the concentrations of Zn2+ experienced in vivo during infection. Mtb were grown in the chemically defined Sauton's medium without Zn2+ added until expression of Zur-regulated genes were observed, indicating the onset of Zn-limitation. Cells were then treated with with different concentrations of Zn2+ through addition of 500 uM Zn2+, 6uM Zn2+, no added Zn2+, 0.35 mg/mL recombinant calprotectin (CP) or 0.8 µM N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(2-pyridinylmethyl)-1,2-ethanediamine (TPEN). After 24 hours of exposure to the different [Zn2+] conditions, RNA was harvested, prepared for RNA-seq, and sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq platform with a paired-end (2x150bp) configuration.

Project description:Zinc (Zn) is an essential trace element for all life forms. Zn supplementation has been used to treat diarrheal disease in children, and in the U.S. swine industry at pharmacological levels to promote growth and fecal consistency, but underlying mechanisms explaining these beneficial effects remain unknown. Thus, we hypothesized that the benefits of pharmacological Zn supplementation were a result of changes in gene expression. For this study, liver RNA from newly weaned pigs fed dietary Zn as Zn oxide for 14 days at either adequate (150 Zn/kg) or pharmacological (2000 mg Zn/kg) levels was evaluated using a 70-mer oligonucleotide microarray. Interrogation of this microarray revealed 658 annotated transcripts (FDR ≤ 0.05) affected by pharmacological Zn supplementation. Relative real-time RT-PCR was used to confirm differential expression of two genes. Results suggest that feeding pharmacological Zn (2000 mg Zn/kg) affects genes involved in reducing oxidative stress and in amino acid metabolism, which are essential for cell detoxification and proper cell function. Oligonucleotide microarrays used for this study consisted of 13,297 70-mer oligos (Pig Array-Ready Oligo Set v. 1.0 and Pig Oligo Extension Set v. 1.0, Qiagen, Inc., Valencia, CA) each spotted once on a single slide. Slides were printed at the Michigan State University Research Technology Support Facility. Oligonucleotides spotted in multiple locations for use as potential controls included 76 Arabidopsis thaliana gene spots, 17 beta tubulin spots, 17 glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase spots, 85 heat shock protein gene spots, 69 ribosomal protein gene spots, 112 randomly generated negative control spots and 470 blanks. The microarray was screened with the Zn150 and Zn2000 samples, and four microarray slides were screened. Zn150 samples were randomly paired with Zn2000 samples. Two samples from each treatment were labeled with Cy3 and the other two were labeled with Cy5.

Project description:We conducted a genome-wide transcriptomic analysis in soybean leaves and roots treated with zinc (Zn) deficiency using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) technology. Two biological replicates of RNA-seq were included for Zn-sufficient leaves (ZSL), Zn-deficient leaves (ZDL), Zn-sufficient roots (ZSR), and Zn-deficient roots (ZDR). Therefore a total of eight libraries were constructed. Using a 2-fold change and a P-value ≤0.05 as the cut-off for selecting the differentially expressed transcripts, we globally identified Zn-deficiency responsive genes. At least 20 genes that are potentially involved Zn homeostasis were significantly changed by Zn deficiency, including 7 ZIP (ZRT, IRT-related protein) transporter genes, 3 nicotianamine synthase genes, and 7 metallothionein genes. At least 48 genes encoding likely Zn-binding proteins were found to be responsive to Zn deficiency in leaves or roots. Eighty-five transcription factor genes were significantly changed by Zn deficiency in leaves or roots, including 5 bZIP members and 10 Golden 2-like members. In addition, some other groups of genes which are possibly related to reactive oxygen species scavenging, calcium and hormone signaling, and protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation also differentially expressed under Zn deficiency.

Project description:Metal availability is tightly regulated within cells through metal homeostasis to prevent cytotoxicity from excess and protein inactivity from deficiency. Limited bioavailability of essential metals in soil can negatively impact crop health and yield. A plant zinc (Zn)-homeostatic mechanism involving Zn transferases has been discovered, which plays a crucial role in delivering zinc to vital zinc-dependent proteins, particularly under zinc limitation. This study focused on investigating the effects of loss of AtZNG1 (AT1G26520), a key component of this mechanism, on growth, transcriptome, and proteome in Arabidopsis thaliana during zinc deficiency. The findings from multi-omics analyses highlight the broad consequences of this mechanism's disruption. The goal of this experiment wass to identify differentially abundant proteins in A.thaliana root tissue upon Zn withdrawal, in S999 zng1 mutant cells and wild-type control.

Project description:Even though the importance of adequate zinc intake has been known for around half a century, a reliable diagnostic tool to assess the dietary zinc status of individual humans or populations is in absence. The specific aim of this study was to examine differential expression of specific gene transcripts that occur when the dietary intake of zinc is acutely reduced below the dietary requirement for a period of ten days. Gene expression profiles of whole blood collected before and after dietary zinc restriction were determined by microarray analyses. The data provide potential signature genes of suboptimal zinc consumption and relevant bioinformatic interpretation indicate immune response and cell cycle regulation as biological processes associated with the zinc-responsive genes. To identify candidate markers holding the potential to indicate zinc status, a 24-day observational study comprised of acclimation (7 d; 10.4 mg Zn/d), zinc depletion (10 d; 0.3 mg Zn/d), and zinc repletion (7 d; 29.5 mg Zn/d) phases was conducted with healthy male subjects (n = 9). On day 0, 6 and 10 of zinc depletion, whole blood was collectedunder morning fasting state. RNA profiles were stabilized by using PAXgene reagents during the collection process and globin RNA reduction was conducted to improve the detection of transcripts at low abundance. Genes responding to dietary zinc restriction were determined by array results from individual samples collected before and after 10 d of zinc depletion. Pooled RNA samples from each day of blood collection, i.e., baseline, 6 d and 10 d of depletion, respectively, were used to determine the temporal expression pattern of the zinc-responsive genes during dietary zinc depletion.

Project description:Micronutrient stress impacts growth, biomass production, and grain yield in crops. Multi-omics studies are valuable resources for identifying genes for functional studies for trait improvement such as accumulation of Fe or Zn under deficient or excess conditions for bioenergy or grain agriculture. We conducted transcriptomics and ionomics analyses on Sorghum bicolor BTx623, grown under Fe and Zn limiting and excess conditions over a 21-day time-period. To identify early and late transcriptional response in roots and leaves, 180 RNAseq libraries were sequenced for differential expression and coexpression network analyses. Fe and Zn accumulation was measured using ICP-MS at each time point and a fluorometer was used to estimate chlorophyll content in leaves. Among the four treatments, Fe limiting and Zn excess resulted in the largest phenotypic effects and transcriptional response in roots and leaves.

Project description:Purpose: Zinc deficiency (ZnD) and iron deficiency (FeD), excess Zn (ZnE) and cadmium exposure (CdE) are major environmental problems for crop cultivation. Methods: Applying Tag-Seq technology to leaves of Brassica rapa grown under FeD, ZnD, ZnE or CdE conditions, with normal conditions as a control, we examined global gene expression changes and compared the expression patterns of multiple paralogs. Results: We identified 812, 543, 331 and 447 differentially expressed genes under FeD, ZnD, ZnE and CdE conditions, respectively, in B. rapa leaves.Further analysis revealed that genes associated with Zn, Fe and Cd responses tended to be over-retained in the B. rapa genome. Most of these multiple-copy genes showed the same direction of expression change under stress conditions. Conclusion: We conclude that the duplicated genes involved in trace element responses in B. rapa are functionally redundant, making the regulatory network more complex in B. rapa than in Arabidopsis thaliana. In total, there were 15 Digital gene expression libraries, one for each of the three replicates under the four trace metal element treatments and normal nutrient supply conditions as a control.

Project description:Arabidopsis HMA4 transformation facilitates Zn root-to-shoot translocation, but in Zn-supply dependent manner. It implies that distinct effects of HMA4 expression on Zn root:shoot distribution in transgenics grown under different Zn supply regimes results from the interaction between the transgene activity and the molecular background of the host plant. Microarray analysis was performed to compare expression profiles in leaves of transgenic and WT-plants grown in the presence of 5 µM Zn to identify the molecular mechanism underlying the difference in Zn root:shoot distribution between 35S:AtHMA4-expressing and wild-type tomato. To recognize tissue specific alterations in gene transcription in tomato leaves invoked by AtHMA4 expression, spongy paerenchyma + lower epidermis and palisade paerenchyma + upper epidermis were isolated using LCM technique. Understanding the interplay between the transgene and the endogens is crucial for planning genetic modification for Zn-biofortification purpose. 10-day old tomato plant (35S:AtHMA4 expressing and WT) were subjected to 5 µM Zn (added as ZnSo4) for 15 days. Three independent experiments were performed. At the end of each experiment the 3rd and 4th leaf (counting upwards) were collected, 1-2 mm long and 2-3 mm wide fragments were cut out from between the vascular bundles in the middle part of each leaf, embedded in NEG-50 Frozen Section Medium (Thermo Scientific), and frozen in liquid nitrogen. Total RNA isolated from three batches of leaves was amplified and used for three independent microarray analysis.

Project description:Observations of scarce surface ocean concentrations of dissolved zinc (Zn) have raised the possibility that Zn may co-limit the growth of oceanic phytoplankton, yet testing this hypothesis has been difficult because Zn is highly prone to contamination. Biomarkers of micro-nutrient stress can serve as an alternate means to assay, though biomarker proteins for Zn stress in marine algae are currently uncharacterized. In this study we identified two Zn-responsive proteins in four marine diatom species that became abundant under Zn and Co limitation, but were scarce or undetectable in replete conditions. We refer to these proteins as ZCRP-A and ZCRP-B (Zn/Co Responsive Protein A and B). Sequence similarity of ZCRP-A to the Escherichia coli model COG0523 protein YjiA suggests a Zn2+ binding capability using conserved metal binding sites. Cellular localization by fluorescent tagging and overexpression of these proteins showed that ZCRP-B is part of a membrane-bound transport complex and that ZCRP-A serves as a Zn/Co chaperone with a chloroplastic target. These results imply that ZCRP-A and ZCRP-B are important in intracellular Zn trafficking and high-affinity transport, respectively. Metaproteomic detection of ZCRP-A and ZCRP-B homologs in a variety of eukaryotic protists along a South Pacific Ocean transect demonstrated that both proteins were more abundant in the euphotic zone (0-200m) where dZn and dCo were scarce. These findings describe widely distributed marine algal proteins linked to Zn and Co metabolism that together contribute to our understanding of Zn homeostasis in important marine phytoplankton.
