Zinc is indispensable for the catalytic activity and structural stability of many proteins, and its deficiency can have severe consequences for microbial growth in natural and industrial environments. For example, Zn depletion in wort negatively affects beer fermentation and quality. Several studies have investigated yeast adaptation to low Zn supply, but were all performed in batch cultures, where specific growth rate depends on Zn availability. The transcriptional responses to growth-rate and Zn availability are then intertwined, which obscures result interpretation. In the present study, transcriptional responses of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to Zn availability were investigated at a fixed specific growth rate under Zn limitation and excess in chemostat culture. To investigate the context-dependency of this transcriptional response, yeast was grown under several chemostat regimes resulting in various carbon (glucose), nitrogen (ammonium) and oxygen supplies. A robust set of genes that responded consistently to Zn limitation was identified and enabled the definition of a Zn-specific Zap1 regulon comprising of 26 genes and characterized by a broader ZRE consensus (MHHAACCBYNMRGGT) than so far described. Most surprising was the Zn-dependent regulation of genes involved in storage carbohydrate metabolism. Their concerted down-regulation was physiologically relevant as revealed by a substantial decrease in glycogen and trehalose cellular content under Zn limitation. An unexpectedly large amount of genes were synergistically or antagonistically regulated by oxygen and Zn availability. This combinatorial regulation suggested a more prominent involvement of Zn in mitochondrial biogenesis and function than hitherto identified

View SamplesGene expression profiling was performed on CNS tissue from neonatal mice carrying the T9H translocation and maternal or paternal duplication of proximal Chromosomes 7 and 15. Our analysis revealed the presence of two novel paternally expressed intergenic transcripts at the PWS/AS locus. The transcripts were termed Pec2 and Pec3 for paternally expressed in the CNS.Our analysis also revealed imprinting of Magel2, Mkrn3, Ndn,Ube3a and Usp29, as well as Pec2 and Pec3 in embryonic brain, 15.5 dpc, and provided a survery of biallelically expressed genes on proximal Chromosomes 7 and 15 in embryonic and neonatal CNS.

View SamplesGiven the increased T cell mediated DTH response to Candida albicans in female compared to male mice, we asked whether female and male lymphnodes differed in their expression of genes relevant to cell recruitment. Overall design: Pooled Lymph Nodes of C57Bl/6 Wild-type Female N=6, Wild-type Male N=6, or C57Bl/6 Four Core Genotype XY Male N=3 mice were analyzed by RNAseq for differences in gene expression.

View SamplesHeterogeneity, shortage of material, and lack of progenitor-specific cell surface markers are major obstacles to elucidating the mechanisms underlying developmental processes. Here we report a proteomic platform that alleviates these difficulties and demonstrate its effectiveness in fractionating heterogeneous cultures of early endoderm derived from human embryonic stem cells. The approach, designated cell-capture antibody array, is based on highly parallel, comparative screening of live cell populations using hundreds of antibodies directed against cell-surface antigens. The results demonstrate the potential of the cell-capture antibody array as a powerful tool for detailed dissection of heterogeneous cellular systems.
