Description
Forced sustained swimming exercise at optimal speed enhances growth in many fish species, particularly through hypertrophy of the white skeletal muscle. The exact mechanism of this effect has not been resolved yet. To explore the mechanism, we first subjected wild-type zebrafish to an exercise protocol validated for exercise-enhanced growth, and showed that exercised zebrafish, which indeed showed enhanced growth, had higher cortisol levels than the non-exercised controls. A central role was therefore hypothesized for the steroid hormone cortisol acting through the Glucocorticoid receptor (Gr). Second, we subjected wild-type zebrafish and zebrafish with a mutant Gr to exercise at optimal, suboptimal and super-optimal speeds and compared them with non-exercised controls. Exercised zebrafish showed growth enhancement at all speeds, with highest growth at optimal speeds. In the Gr mutant fish, exercise resulted in growth enhancement similar to wild-type zebrafish, indicating that cortisol cannot be considered as a main determinant of exercise-enhanced growth. Finally, the transcriptome of white skeletal muscle tissue was analysed by RNA sequencing. The results of this analysis showed that in the muscle tissue of Gr mutant fish a lower number of genes is regulated by exercise than in wild-type fish (183 versus 351). A cluster of 36 genes was regulated by exercise in both wild-type and mutant fish. In this cluster, genes involved in transcriptional regulation and protein ubiquitination were overrepresented. Since growth was enhanced similarly in both wild-type fish and mutants, these processes may play an important role in exercise-enhanced growth. Overall design: Deep-sequencing transcriptome analysis of white muscle samples derived from wild-type (++) or glucocorticoid receptor (Gr) mutant (--) Danio rerio specimens that were exposed to either a resting (REST) or a swimming (UOPT) regimen: wild-type resting (REST++; n=3), Gr mutant resting (REST--; n=3), wild-type swimming (UOPT++; n=3), Gr mutant swimming (UOPT--; n=3).

Affymetrix Drosophila Genome Array (drosgenome1)
Description
During sexual dimorphism, the loss of one entire X chromosome in Drosophila males is achieved largely via a broad genome-wide aneuploid effect. Exploring how MSL proteins and two large non coding RNAs (roX1 and roX2) modulate trans-acting aneuploid effect for equality to females, we employ a system biology approach (microarray) to investigate the global aneuploid effect of maleless(mle) mutation by disrupting MSL binding. A large number of the genes (144) that encode a broad spectrum of cellular transport proteins and transcription factors are located in the autosomes of Drosophila melanogaster.

Description
The simultaneous genotyping of tens of thousands of SNP using SNP microarrays is a very important tool that is revolutionizing genetics and molecular biology. In this work, we present a new application of this technique by using it to assess chromatin immunoprecipitation (CHIP) as a means to assess the multiple genomic locations bound by a protein complex recognized by an antibody. We illustrate the use of this technique with an analysis of the change in histone H4 acetylation, a marker of open chromatin and transcriptionally active genomic regions, which occur during the differentiation of human myoblasts into myotubes. Our results are validated by the observation of a significant correlation between the histone modifications detected and the expression of the nearby genes, as measured by DNA microarrays.

Description
Studies of the RNA polymerase-binding molecule ppGpp in bacteria and plants have shown that changes to the kinetics of the RNA polymerase can have dramatic biological effects in the short-term as a stress response. Here we describe the reprogramming of the kinetic parameters of the RNAP through mutations arising during laboratory adaptive evolution of Escherichia coli in minimal media. The mutations cause a 10- to 30-fold decrease in open complex stability at a ribosomal promoter and approximately a 10-fold decrease in transcriptional pausing in the his operon. The kinetic changes coincide with large scale transcriptional changes, including strong downregulation of motility, acid-resistance, fimbria, and curlin genes which are observed in site-directed mutants containing the RNA polymerase mutations as well as the evolved strains harboring the mutations. Site-directed mutants also grow 60% faster than the parent strain and convert the carbon-source 15% to 35% more efficiently to biomass. The results show that long-term adjustment of the kinetic parameters of RNA polymerase through mutation can be important for adaptation to a condition.
