Project description:The Arabidopsis NAC transcription factors SOMBRERO (SMB), BEARSKIN1 (BRN1) and BEARSKIN2 (BRN2) regulate root cap differentiation. In order to identify genes acting downstream of these transcription factors comparable transcriptome analyses were carried out using Agilent expression arrays.
Project description:To identify targets of the NAC transcription factor SOMBRERO (SMB, AT1G79580), we used a dexamethasone-inducible p35S::SMB-GR line (DOI: 10.1105/tpc.109.072272), comparing gene expression in dexamethasone-treated and mock-treated 5-day old seedlings 6 hours after estradiol or mock treatment.
Project description:In this study we analyzed the effect of overexpression of an HA-tagged version of the ERF RAP2.12 on the transcriptome levels in aerobic and hypoxic-treated (O2 21% and 1%, respectively) Arabidopsis thaliana rosettes. We also analyzed the effect of a RAP2.12 and RAP2.2 simultaneous silencing in aerobic and hypoxic-treated (O2 21% and 1%, respectively) Arabidopsis thaliana rosettes. We treated Arabidopsis Col-0 (wt) rosettes and transgenic HA::RAP2.12 and amiRAP2.2-12 , 5-week old, grown in 8/16 light/dark photoperiod with: -Control (22°C, dark, 21% O2, 1.5h). -Hypoxia (22°C, dark, 1% O2, 1.5h).
Project description:MADS-domain transcription factors play pivotal roles in numerous developmental processes in Arabidopsis thaliana. While their involvement in flowering transition and floral development has been extensively examined, their functions in root development remain relatively unexplored. Here, we explored the function and genetic interaction of three MADS-box genes (XAL2, SOC1 and AGL24) in primary root development. Our findings revealed that SOC1 and AGL24, both critical components in flowering transition, redundantly act as repressors of primary root growth as the loss of function of either SOC1 or AGL24 partially recovers the primary root growth, meristem cell number, cell production rate, and the length of fully elongated cells of the short-root mutant xal2-2. Furthermore, we observed that the simultaneous overexpression of AGL24 and SOC1 leads to short-root phenotypes, affecting meristem cell number, cell production rate, fully elongated cell size, but only the overexpression of SOC1 affects distal root stem cell differentiation. Additionally, these genes exhibit distinct modes of transcriptional regulation in roots compared to what has been previously reported for aerial tissues. Moreover, our findings revealed that the expression of certain genes involved in cell differentiation, as well as stress responses, which are either upregulated or downregulated in the xal2-2 mutant, reverted to WT levels in the absence of SOC1 or AGL24.
Project description:To investigate the mechanism underlying the effect of Brn2-loss we extracted mRNA from Braf-Pten-Brn2-wt, Braf-Pten-Brn2-het, and Braf-Pten-Brn2-hom mouse melanomas and performed microarray-based transcriptome analysis.

Project description:To investigate BRN1/2 function in neocortical development, we knockout BRN1/2 in the dorsal telencephalon (BRN1/2 cKO) We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from scRNA-seq of 13 different mice at E12.5 and E14.5
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Arabidopsis thaliana 12-days old seedlings comparing Col-0 wild type with transgenic plants with altered expression of dual-targetting plastid/mitochondrial organellar RNA-polymerase RPOTmp. Transgenic plants used for experiment were: overexpressor plants obtained by transformation of Col-0 WT plants with genetic constructs created in [Tarasenko et al., 2016] contained catalytic part of RPOTmp enzyme with transit peptides of RPOTm (mitochondrial) and RPOTp (plastid) by agrobacterial transformation; plants with complementation of RPOTmp functions in mitochondria or chloroplasts obtained from transformation of GABI_286E07 rpotmp knockout-mutant plants with genetic constructs created in [Tarasenko et al., 2016]. Goal was to determine the effects of RPOTmp knockout/overexpression on global Arabidopsis thaliana gene expression.
Project description:The sorting of RNA transcripts dictates their ultimate post-transcriptional fates, such as translation, decay or degradation by RNA interference (RNAi). This sorting of RNAs into distinct fates is mediated by their interaction with RNA-binding proteins. While hundreds of RNA binding proteins have been identified, which act to sort RNAs into different pathways is largely unknown. Particularly in plants, this is due to the lack of reliable protein-RNA artificial tethering tools necessary to determine the mechanism of protein action on an RNA in vivo. Here we used minimal Arabidopsis BRN1 RNA binding domains to generate a protein-RNA tethering system which functions on an endogenous Arabidopsis RNA called SOC1 that is tracked by the quantitative flowering time phenotype. Unlike other protein-RNA tethering systems that have been attempted in plants, our system circumvents the inadvertent triggering of RNAi. We successfully in vivo tethered a protein epitope to the RNA and identified new proteins that were previously unknown to interact during BRN1-RNA binding. This protein-RNA tethering system enables the future determination of any protein’s function upon recruitment to an RNA and can be used to discover new interactions with RNA-binding proteins.
