Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a global health problem. A number of studies have implicated a direct role of cellular lipid metabolism in the HCV life cycle and inhibitors of the mevalonate pathway have been demonstrated to result in an antiviral state within the host cell. Transcriptome profiling was also conducted on Huh-7 human hepatoma cells bearing subgenomic HCV replicons with and without treatment with 25-hydroxycholesterol (25-HC), an inhibitor of the mevalonate pathway that alters lipid metabolism, to assess metabolic determinants of pro- and antiviral states within the host cell.

View SamplesAim of the experiment is the identification of genes differentially regulated in phyA seedlings relative to wild type after prolonged exposure to low R/FR. To this end, gene expression changes were analysed in Arabidopsis wild-type and phyA knock-out mutant seedlings exposed to low R/FR light. The experiment was designed to enable comparison between the different genotypes exposed or not exposed to low R/FR light.

View SamplesAim of the experiment is the analysis of early and late molecular events in plant response to canopy shade. To this end, gene expression changes were analysed in Arabidopsis seedlings after exposure to low R/FR light for 4 hours and 1 day. The experiment was designed to enable comparison between treated and untreated Arabidopsis seedlings.

View SamplesPromoter recognition by bacterial RNA polymerase is mediated by subunits, which assemble transiently to RNA polymerase core enzyme (E) during transcription initiation. subunits drive transcription of specific sets of genes by allowing RNA polymerase to interact with different promoter sequences. However, 70, the housekeeping subunit, and S, an alternative subunit mainly active during slow growth and in response to cellular stresses, appear to recognize almost identical promoter sequences, raising the question of how promoter selectivity is achieved in the bacterial cell. To identify sequence determinants for selective promoter recognition, we performed a run-off/microarray experiment (ROMA): in vitro transcription experiments were carried out with RNA polymerase saturated either with 70 (E70) or with S (ES) using the whole Escherichia coli genome as DNA template, and transcript levels were determined by microarray analysis. We found that several genes associated with bacterial growth (e.g., ribosomal operons) were transcribed more efficiently by E70. In contrast, ES transcribed preferentially genes involved in stress responses, secondary metabolism, as well as regulatory RNAs and intergenic regions with yet unknown function. Genes preferentially recognized in vitro by ES showed reduced expression in ES -deficient mutant strain of E. coli. Sequence comparison of E70- versus ES dependent promoters confirms that the presence of a -35 sequence and the relative location of UP elements affect promoter interaction with either form of RNA polymerase, and suggests that a G/C bias in the -2/+1 nucleotides would favour efficient promoter recognition by E70.

View SamplesUsing whole genome microarray (Affymetrix ATH1) we studied the transcriptional response of Arabidopsis thaliana to imidazolinone (Arsenal) herbicde that inhibits acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme and thus disrupts branched chain amino acid biosynthesis. A number of genes related to amino acid, protein metabolism, growth, regulatory networks, respiratory pathways, stress, defense and secondary metabolism were altered.
