Extremely slow growth imposed by energy limitation is a ubiquitous but poorly understood physiological state for microbes. We used oxygen limitation to impose this state on Pseudomonas aeruginosa and measured newly synthesized proteins using a time-selective proteome labeling method (BONCAT) to identify relevant regulators and metabolic pathways. We further characterized one upregulated protein that has no homology to any known protein domains. This small, acidic protein is post-transcriptionally regulated and physically interacts with RNA polymerase, binding near the secondary channel during transcription elongation, and leading to widespread effects on gene expression. For some genes, the impacts on transcript and protein levels are different, suggesting possible modulation of translation as well. These effects have phenotypic consequences, as deletion of the gene affects biofilm formation, secondary metabolite production, and fitness in fluctuating conditions. Based on these phenotypes, we have designated the protein SutA (survival under transitions). Overall design: Profiles of rRNA-depleted total RNA from WT, ?sutA (PA14_69770), and SutA-overexpressing cells grown late exponential phase in minimal medium containing pyruate as the carbon source, in triplicate
SutA is a bacterial transcription factor expressed during slow growth in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

View SamplesshRNA-mediated ablation of the RING-finger protein TRIM52 from multiple glioblastoma cell lines reduces proliferation and tumorigenesis. To identify gene signatures underlying this phenomenon, transcritional profile of TRIM52 knockdown cells was compared to control cells. Upon TRIM52 ablation, we find 278 differentially regulated genes. Gene ontology analysis reveals that many of the upregulated genes are associated with glycolysis and biosynthetic processes. Overall design: U87MG glioblastoma cells were stably transduced with doxycycline-inducible shRNA constructs targeting TRIM52 (two different shRNAs) or controls (two different non-targeting shRNAs). Knockdown was induced for five days using 2µg/ml doxycycline. shRNA expressing cells were sorted based on shRNA-coupled GFP expression via flow cytometry. mRNA sequening was performed in duplicate per shRNA cell line.
Human tripartite motif protein 52 is required for cell context-dependent proliferation.

View SamplesThe purpose of this study was to develop a quantification method that can be used to assess the ability of tag-seq to detect malignant B-cell transcripts. The data support that tumour cell concentration is an important variable with fundamental impact on gene expression pattern. Overall design: We analysed eight serial dilutions of the malignant B-cell line, OCI-Ly8, into the embryonic kidney cell line, HEK293, by tag-sequencing. No technical replicates were performed.

View SamplesSteroid hormones regulate essential physiological processes and inadequate levels are associated with various pathological conditions. In testosterone-producing Leydig cells, steroidogenesis is strongly stimulated by LH via its receptor leading to increased cAMP production and expression of the steroidogenic acute regulatory (STAR) protein, which is essential for the initiation of steroidogenesis. Leydig cell steroidogenesis then passively decreases following the rapid degradation of cAMP into AMP by phosphodiesterases. In this study, we show that AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is activated following cAMP breakdown in MA-10 and MLTC-1 Leydig cells. Activated AMPK then actively inhibits cAMP-induced steroidogenesis by repressing the expression of key regulators of steroidogenesis including Star and Nr4a1. Similar results were obtained in Y-1 adrenal cells and in the constitutive steroidogenic cell line R2C. Our data identify AMPK as an active repressor of steroid hormone biosynthesis in steroidogenic cells that is essential to preserve cellular energy and prevent excess steroid production.

View SamplesWe obtained single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) profiles of CD14+ monocytes isolated from human peripheral blood at 0, 3 and 6 days after M-CSF stimulation (to differentiate the cells into macrophages) across multiple donors. Integration of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from multiple experiments, laboratories, and technologies can uncover biological insights, but current methods for scRNA-seq data integration are limited by a requirement for datasets to derive from functionally similar cells. We use a novel algorithm, Scanorama, to identify and merge the shared cell types among all pairs of datasets and to accurately integrate heterogeneous scRNA-seq datasets. Scanorama is sensitive to subtle temporal changes within the same cell lineage, successfully integrating functionally similar cells across time series data of CD14+ monocytes at different stages of differentiation into macrophages. Scanorama is not only able to differentiate between completely disparate cell types but is also sensitive to subtler transcriptional changes within a cell type due to processes like stimulation. Overall design: scRNA-seq of human CD14+ monocytes at 0, 3, and 6 days after M-CSF stimulation in multiple donors
