Project description:Here we report the massively parallel cDNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis performed using high throughput sequencing of wild type (DB110) and toxR (TW30) mutant strains of the deep-sea bacterium Photobacterium profundum. ToxR is a transmembrane DNA-binding protein first discovered in Vibrio cholerae and able to regulate numerous genes involved in virulence. In P. profundum the abundance and activity of the same protein is influenced by hydrostatic pressure and is able to regulate genes in a pressure-dependent manner. To better characterize the ToxR regulon, we have compared the genes differentially expressed in response to pressure changes with those whose expression is altered between wild type and toxR mutant strains.
Project description:RNA-seq was performed to compare gene expression profiles between luminescent and low-luminescent states of Photobacterium kishitanii ANT-2200 across different growth phases. Raw RNA-seq reads were previously deposited in the NCBI Sequence Read Archive under BioProject PRJNA1464527. Processed count matrices are provided in this GEO submission.

To better characterize the ToxR regulon, we have compared the genes differentially expressed in response to pressure changes with those whose expression is altered between wild type and toxR mutant strains. Four samples were analyzed: DB110 strain grown at 0.1 MPa, DB110 strain grown at 28 MPa, TW30 strain grown at 0.1 MPa, TW30 strain grown at 28 MPa. Two independent coltures (replicates) were grown for each sample, RNA was extracted from each replicate and RNAs from the two replicates were pooled together to reduce biological variability. No replicates were included in experimental design.
