Project description:The alkaliphilic halotolerant bacterium Bacillus sp. N16-5 often faces salt stress in its natural habitats. One-color microarrays was used to investigate transcriptome expression profiles of Bacillus sp. N16-5 adaptation reactions to prolonged grown at different salinities (0%, 2%, 8% and 15% NaCl) and the initial reaction to suddenly alter salinity from 0% to 8% NaCl.

N16-5 adaptation reactions to prolonged grown at different salinities (0%, 2%, 8% and 15% NaCl) and the initial reaction to suddenly alter salinity from 0% to 8% NaCl. Salt induced gene expression was measured when culture was grown on different salinities (0%, 2%, 8% and 15% NaCl) to mid-logarithmic phase. And salt induced gene expression was also measured at 0 min, 10 min, 30 min, 60min, 120min after a sudden change salinity from 0% to 8% NaCl.
Project description:Alkaline hemicellulytic bacteria Bacillus sp. N16-5 has abroad substrate spectrum and exhibits great growth ability on complex carbohydrates. In order to get insight into its carbohydrate utilization mechanism, global transcriptional profiles were separately determined for growth on glucose, fructose, mannose, galactose, arabinose, xylose, galactomannan, xylan, pectin and carboxymethyl cellulose by using one-color microarrays.
Project description:Taf2 is a transcription co-factor and a member of TFIID complex. To better understand gene regulation by Taf2 we generated HepG2 cells stably overexpressing TAF2-V5. This clone was used for ChIP using control IgG or V5 antibody. We identified TAF2-V5 binding near the transcription start sites of 37 genes.
