Affymetrix Arabidopsis ATH1 Genome Array (ath1121501)
Description
The acquisition of water and nutrients by plant roots is a fundamental aspect of agriculture and strongly depends on root architecture. Root branching and expansion of the root system is achieved through the development of lateral roots and is to a large extent controlled by the plant hormone auxin. However, the pleiotropic effects of auxin or auxin-like molecules on root systems complicate the study of lateral root development. Here we describe a small-molecule screen in Arabidopsis thaliana that identified naxillin as what is to our knowledge the first non-auxin-like molecule that promotes root branching. By using naxillin as a chemical tool, we identified a new function for root cap-specific conversion of the auxin precursor indole-3-butyric acid into the active auxin indole-3-acetic acid and uncovered the involvement of the root cap in root branching. Delivery of an auxin precursor in peripheral tissues such as the root cap might represent an important mechanism shaping root architecture. To further explore the specificity of naxillin for lateral root development, we compared the early effects of naxillin at the transcriptome level with NAA (1-Naphthaleneacetic acid) in roots of 3-day-old seedlings after 2-h and 6-h treatment.

Description
Neuronal function critically depends on coordinated subcellular distribution of mRNAs. Disturbed mRNA processing and axonal transport has been found in spinal muscular atrophy and could be causative for dysfunction and degeneration of motoneurons. Despite the advances made in characterizing the transport mechanisms of several axonal mRNAs, an unbiased approach to identify the axonal repertoire of mRNAs in healthy and degenerating motoneurons has been lacking. Here we used compartmentalized microfluidic chambers to investigate the somatodendritic and axonal mRNA content of cultured motoneurons by microarray analysis. In axons, transcripts related to protein synthesis and energy production were enriched relative to the somatodendritic compartment. Knockdown of Smn, the protein deficient in spinal muscular atrophy, produced a large number of transcript alterations in both compartments. Transcripts related to immune functions, including MHC class I genes, and with roles in RNA splicing were upregulated in the somatodendritic compartment. On the axonal side, transcripts associated with axon growth and synaptic activity were downregulated. These alterations provide evidence that subcellular localization of transcripts with axonal functions as well as regulation of specific transcripts with nonautonomous functions is disturbed in Smn-deficient motoneurons, most likely contributing to the pathophysiology of spinal muscular atrophy.

Description
Purpose: Epidemiological and intervention studies have attempted to link the health effects of a diet rich in fruits and vegetables with the consumption of polyphenols and their impact in neurodegenerative diseases. Studies have shown that polyphenols can cross the intestinal barrier and reach concentrations in the bloodstream able to exert effects in vivo. However, the effective uptake of polyphenols in the brain is still regarded with some reservations. Here we describe a combination of approaches to examine the putative transport of blackberry-digested polyphenols (BDP) across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and ultimate evaluation of their beneficial effects.

Description
Yeast cell cycle transcript dynamics in three S. cerevisiae strains grown at 30 degrees Celsius: cdc20 GALL-CDC20 (persistent mitotic CDK activity; CDK on), cdc8-ts (DNA replication checkpoint), GAL-cse4-353 (spindle assembly checkpoint), cdc8-ts cdc20 (DNA replication checkpoint, CDK on), and cdc8-ts cdc20, rad53-1 (DNA replication checkpoint without Rad53 activity, CDK on) in a BF264-15DU background. We compared transcript levels of genes previously shown to be periodically expressed in wild-type cells and in cells lacking all mitotic cyclins (clb1,2,3,4,5,6; CDK off).

Description
This study was performed to check that ESR1 and BMI1 are biologically active after lentiviral transduction of primary human mammary epithelial cells (HMECs) with lentiviral vectors expressing ESR1 and BMI1 from the human PGK promoter. ESR1 targets like PGR, PRLR and GREB1, but not TFF1 and XBP1, were induced by estradiol in the ESR1-expressing cells. BMI1 targets like BMI1, NEFL and CCND2 were repressed in the BMI1-expressing cells. BMI1 suppressed genes associated with squamous and neural differentiation in the ESR1 plus BMI1-expressing cells.

Description
Variable strengths of T cell receptor (TCR) signaling can produce divergent outcomes for T cell development and function. The mechanisms leading to different outcomes are incompletely understood, but may include distinct activation thresholds for different transcription factors as well as distinct sensitivities among target genes to transcription factors. IRF4 is one transcription factor implicated in responses to variable TCR signal strength. IRF4 expression increases uniformly with increasing TCR signal strength (i.e., analog), but it is unclear how IRF4 induced distinct genes at different levels, rather than different amounts of the same genes. Here, we analyzed global gene expression in TH2 cells and used ChIP-seq to define the relationship between TCR signal strength, enhancer occupancy and transcriptional activity for BATF/IRF4-dependent genes. We show that enhancers exhibit a spectrum of affinity for the BATF/IRF4 ternary complex mediate graded responsiveness of individual genes to increasing TCR signal strength. Differential gene induction by BATF and IRF4 occurs through interaction with enhancer elements of different affinity for BATF/IRF4 complexes. The increased resolution of factor binding site identified using ChIP-exo allowed the identification of a novel AICE2 motif binding BATF/IRF4 with higher affinity and that this may explain the protective role of a single nucleotide polymorphism in the CTLA-4 locus known to decrease the incidence of autoimmune diseases.
