Project description:Analysis of transcriptional response to UV irradiation in two related crenarchaea, Sulfolobus solfataricus and Sulfolobus acidocaldarius.
Project description:Hydroxyurea (HU) is toxic to Sulfolobus cells. To address the basis of the HU toxicity, we performed transcriptome analyses on untreated cells and cells following exposure to 5 mM HU for 4 hours.
Project description:Experimentally mapped transcriptome structure of Sulfolobus solfataricus P2 by hybridizing total RNA (including RNA species <200 nt) to genome-wide high-density tiling arrays (60 mer probes tiled every 25 nt).
Project description:This is ChIPseq result of FadR, which is the only TetR family regulator presented in Sulfolobus acidocaldarius. The aim of the study is to gain insights into the function of TetR regulator by analyzing its whole genome binding sites.

Project description:Transcriptome sequencing was carried out on an Illumina HiSeq platform to investigate CRISPR-Cas and DNA repair systems by Csa3b in Sulfolobus islandicus Rey15A. We compared the differently expressed genes in Sulfolobus islandicus Rey15A strain with csa3a overexpression vs. Sulfolobus islandicus Rey15A strain carrying an empty expression vector,We find thatcmr-α (SiRe_0890 ~ SiRe_0895) and cmr-β (SiRe_0597 ~ SiRe_0603)、the DNA double strand break (DSB)repair genes, including nurA, rad50, mre11, and herA (SiRe_0061 ~ SiRe_0064), as well as two subunits of DNA polymerase II (SiRe_0615 and SiRe_0617) that function in DNA repair, were significantly up-regulated. Our data indicated that the Csa3b regulator couples transcriptional activation of cmr genes, DNA repair genes.
Project description:Shotgun phosphoproteome of Sulfolobus acidocaldarius using PAciFIC technique. Briefly, proteins were denatured, alkylated, trypsine digestion, SCX separation Fractionated peptides were analysed on Bruker HCTultra. Data processing and bioinformatics: data from mass spectrometry were then extracted to mgf format using Bruker Data Analysis V4.0 with a MRM script, these were then were searched against the Sulfolobus acidocaldarius database (containing 2223 proteins) downloaded from NCBI in March 2010 using Phenyx V 2.6 (Genebio, Geneva). The searches were performed using parameters as follows: carbamidomethylation of cysteine (fixed modification), oxidation of methionine (variation), and phosphorylation of serine, tyrosine, threonine (variation), trypsin with 2 missed cleavages. Furthermore, other parameters such as parent, MS/MS, tolerances were set at 2.0 and 0.8 Da, respectively, whilst minimum peptide length, z-score, p-value and AC score were set at 5, 5.5, 10-5, and 5.5 respectively.
