Project description:RNA-seq of Mycobacteriophage Island3 infection of Mycolicibacterium smegmatis mc2155, Mycolicibacterium smegmatis mc2155(Butters), and Mycolicibacterium smegmatis mc2155(Buttersgp57r) to assess the impact of Butters lysogen and specifically Buttersgp57r on transcript levels of island3 during infection.
Project description:We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying CS1-regulated biological processes including increased cell adhesion and cell proliferation.
Project description:We identified a novel transcription factor, MsoA, in response to oxidative stress in Mycolicibacterium smegmatis. We hope to discover the regulatory network and target genes of transcription factor msoA by transcriptome sequencing of wild-type and msoA mutants, so as to help us further elucidate the molecular mechanism of msoA involved in regulation of Mycolicibacterium oxidation.
Project description:We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying CS1-regulated biological processes including increased cell adhesion and cell proliferation. Experiment Overall Design: Human multiple myeloma cell lines with and without CS1 expression, either by transffecting CS1 overexpressing vector or lentiviral CS1 shRNA, were subject to total RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to define the common genes underexpressed in CS1 knockdown myeloma cells whereas overexpressed in CS1 overexpressing myeloma cells to gain insight into CS1-targeting genes in order to define the molecular mechanisms regulated by CS1 in multiple myeloma.
