View SamplesAnalysis of gene expression in pof deletion mutants. Chromosome 4 genes are down-regulated in pof mutants compared to wildtype control. 200 Drosophila melanogaster first instar larvae were used for each of three biological replicates of y1 w67c23; PofD119/PofD119 and three biological replicates of y1 w67c23 as controls.

View SamplesDynamical response to oxygen downshift under fermentation conditions was tested by taking sample before (S1) and after (S2, S3 and S4) the oxygen downshift. The dynamical changes relevant for ongoing research on physiology were applied.

View SamplesRNase Y of Bacillus subtilis is a key member of the degradosome and important for bulk mRNA turnover. In contrast to B. subtilis, the RNase Y homologue (rny/cvfA) of Staphylococcus aureus is not essential for growth. Here we found that RNase Y plays a major role in virulence gene regulation. Accordingly, rny deletion mutants demonstrated impaired virulence in a murine bacteraemia model. RNase Y is important for the processing and stabilisation of the immature transcript of the global virulence regulator system SaePQRS. Moreover, RNase Y is involved in the activation of virulence gene expression at the promoter level. This control is independent of both the virulence regulator agr and the saePQRS processing and may be mediated by small RNAs some of which were shown to be degraded by RNase Y. Besides this regulatory effect, mRNA levels of several operons were significantly increased in the rny mutant and the half-life of one of these operons was shown to be extremely extended. However, the half-life of many mRNA species was not significantly altered. Thus, RNase Y in S. aureus influences mRNA expression in a tightly controlled regulatory manner and is essential for coordinated activation of virulence genes.

View SamplesFor Staphylococcus aureus it was shown previously that aminocoumarinecoumarin antibiotics such as novobiocin lead to immediate down-regulation of recA expression and thereby inhibition of the SOS response, the mutation frequency and the recombination capacity. Aminocoumarinecoumarin function by inhibition of the ATPase activity of the gyrase subunit B. Here we analysed the global impact of the DNA relaxing agent novobiocin on gene expression in S. aureus. By use of a novobiocin resistant mutant, it became evident that the change in recA expression is due to gyrase inhibition. Microarray analysis and Northern blot hybridization revealed that the expression of a distinct set of genes is increased (e.g. recF-gyrB-gyrA, rib operon and ure operon )), or decreased (e.g. arlRS, recA, lukA, hlgC, fnbA) by novobiocin. The two-component ArlRS system was previously found to decrease the supercoiling level in S. aureus. Thus, down-regulation of arlRS might in part compensate for the relaxing effect of novobiocin. Novobiocin resulted in down-regulation of several of arlRS repressed target genes in an arl mutant. Global analysis and gene mapping of supercoiling sensitive genes did not give indications that they are clustered in the genome. Promoter fusion assays confirmed that responsiveness of a given gene is intrinsic to the promoter region but independent of the chromosomal location. The results indicate that molecular property of the spacers of a given promoter dictatesa given promoter rather than chromosomal topology dictates the responsiveness towards changes in supercoiling rather than chromosomal topology.

View SamplesThe root epidermis of Arabidopsis provides a simple and experimentally useful model for studying the molecular basis of cell fate and differentiation. The goal of this study was to define the larger gene regulatory network that governs the differentiation of the root hair and non-hair cell types of the Arabidopsis root epidermis. Transcript levels in the root epidermis of wild-type and mutant lines were assessed by purifying populations of root epidermal cells using fluorescence-based cell-sorting. Further, the role of the plant hormones auxin and ethylene on root epidermis development was assessed by defining transcript levels in the root epidermis of plants grown on media containing IAA or ACC. These microarray results were used to construct a comprehensive gene regulatory network that depicts the transcriptional control of root epidermal cell fate and differentiation in Arabidopsis.

View SamplesIn order to identify biologically relevant tumor markers , we analyzed gene expression profiling of tumor and adjacent non-tumor tissues from PDAC cases. We compared the microarray gene-expression profiles of MIF-high and MIF low expressing tumors as detrmined by qRT-PCR. Affymetrix gene-expression analysis was done in two sets. Affymetrix data from sample number 1-90 were earlier submited by us as GEO accession#: GSE28735. The batch effect between the two sets of data was removed using Partek Genomic Suite and this normalized data was submitted to GEO in this submission. All the analysis was performed using the merged data set.
