Project description:The aim of this experiment is to test the ability of the ortholog of Arabidopsis LFY gene from flowering and non flowering species to complement an Arabidopsis LFY mutant. <br>Plants expressing, in a homozygous lfy12 background, the open reading frame of LFY orthologs under the control of Arabidopsis LFY promoter were synchronously induced to flower by growing plants in short days for 30 days then shifting them to Long Day for an additional 8 days. Shoot apices were dissected at either d0 or d8 in long days. Two biological replicates were performed. The following genotypes were used: <br>Col - wild type arabidopsis; reference strain<br>LFY (lfy12; LFY::AthLFY) - Arabidopsis<br>UNI (lfy12; LFY::UNI) - Pisum<br>ALF (lfy12; LFY::ALF) - Petunia <br>WelNDLY (lfy12; LFY::WelNDLY) - Welwitschia mirabilis<br>CrLFY1 (lfy12; LFY::CrLFY1) - Ceratopteris richardii<br>CrLFY2 (lfy12; LFY::CrLFY2) - Ceratopteris richardii<br>lfy-2; weak lfy allele<br>lfy-9; intermediate leafy allele<br>lfy-12; strong leafy allele.
Project description:Proteus mirabilis is a leading cause of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (UTIs) and urolithiasis. The transcriptional regulator MrpJ inversely modulates two critical aspects of P. mirabilis UTI progression: fimbria-mediated attachment to the urinary tract, and flagella-mediated motility. Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) was used for the first time in a CAUTI pathogen to probe for in vivo direct targets of MrpJ. ChIP-seq revealed 81 78 direct MrpJ targets, including genes for motility, fimbriae and a type VI secretion system (T6SS), and the putative MrpJ binding sequence ACnCnnnnnnnGnGT.
Project description:The goal of this study was to measure the effect of heat stress on the transcriptome of a temperate fish species - Gillichthys mirabilis. Keywords: Stress response
Project description:Proteus mirabilis is a primary cause of complicated urinary tract infections (UTI). Surprisingly, iron acquisition systems have been poorly characterized in this uropathogen despite the urinary tract being iron-limited. In this report the transcriptome of strain HI4320, cultured under iron limitation, was examined using microarray analysis. Of genes upregulated at least 2-fold, 45 were statistically significant and comprise 21 putative iron-regulated systems. Two of these systems, PMI0229-0239 and PMI2596-2605, are organized in operons and appear to encode siderophore biosynthesis genes. Five microarrays comparing P. mirabilis HI4320 cultured in LB broth to P. mirabilis cultured in LB broth + 15 uM Desferal (an iron chelator) were analyzed. All five arrays are biological replicates; arrays #2 and 4 are dye swaps.
Project description:The goal of this study was to measure the effect of heat stress on the transcriptome of a cold-adapted fish (Trematomus bernacchii) and compare it to a temperate species (Gillichthys mirabilis). This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.
