Project description:With the information gathered through mass-shift- and correlation-analysis, we predict PPi on a proteomic scale and describe the results in form of a network. This experiment was done with 3 week old Arabidopsis thaliana wt seedlings grown in hydroponic culture (1/2 MS-Medium)
Project description:BRAHMA (BRM) is a conserved SWI/SNF-type chromatin remodeling ATPase implicated in many key nuclear events. Histone H3 Lysine 27 (H3K27) demethylases specifically remove the repressive histone mark, trimethylation of H3K27 (H3K27me3). Both proteins are thought to play active roles in regulating gene activities at the chromatin level, but their genome-wide coordination remains to be determined. In Arabidopsis thaliana, RELATIVE OF EARLY FLOWERING 6 (REF6, also known as JMJ12) is the first identified plant H3K27 demethylase. Here, genome-wide analyses revealed that REF6 targets to thousands of genes across the Arabidopsis genome and co-localizes with BRM at more than 1,000 genes, many of which are genes involved in response to various stimuli, especially plant hormones. Loss of REF6 activity results in decreased BRM occupancy at hundreds of BRM-REF6 co-targets, indicating that REF6 is required for the recruitment of BRM to chromatin. Further, REF6 targets to genomic loci that contains the CTCTGTTT motif in vivo Examination of BRM occupancy in 14-day-old wt and ref6-1 seedlings. Examination of REF6 occupancy in 14-day-old wt and brm-1 seedlings. Examination of global RNA expression in 14-day-old wt, brm-1, ref6-1 and brm-1 ref6-1 seedlings. Examination of H3K27me3 profiles in 14-day-old wt, brm-1, ref6-1, and brm-1 ref6-1 seedlings.
Project description:Arabidopsis brm plants depleted in a SWI/SNF-type ATPase BRM have decreased level of endogenous gibberellins and a phenotype that in many respects resembles the phenotype of mutants with repressed GA signaling or biosynthesis, like ga1-3. ga1-3/brm double mutant showed several additive and synergistic effects. To examine whether the phenotypic traits of brm, ga1-3 and ga1-3/brm lines are reflected at the gene expression level, we compared the expression profiles of brm, ga1-3, ga1-3/brm and wild-type plants using microarray analysis. Microarray analysis was performed on total RNA isolated from shoots of 18-d-old wt, brm, ga1-3, and ga1-3/brm seedlings. Three biological replicates were examined for each genotype. Plants were grown simultaneously under the same conditions.
Project description:<p>The Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) is a retrograde, ER-to-nucleus, signalling pathway which is conserved across kingdoms. In plants, it contributes to development, reproduction, immunity and tolerance to abiotic stress. This metabolomic dataset was produced from 14-day-old Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings challenged by tunicamycin (Tm), an antibiotic inhibiting Asn-linked glycosylation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), causing an ER stress and eventually activating the UPR. Wild-type (WT), bzip60 single mutant and the double mutant deficient for two main actors of the UPR (INOSITOL-REQUIRING ENZYME 1A and INOSITOL-REQUIRING ENZYME 1B) were used as genetic backgrounds in our experimental setup, allowing to distinguish among differentially-overaccumulated metabolites which ones are dependent on IRE1s and/or bZIP60. Also, shoots and roots were harvested separately to determine organ-specific metabolic responses to Tm.</p>
