NAC-type plant-specific transcription factor genes encode proteins that play important roles in abiotic stress responses, as well as regulation of plant development. In the current study, expression profiles of wheat NAC-type transcription factor genes, TaNAC69-1 and TtNAMB-2, were examined under drought, salt, cold, and heat stress conditions in wheat. Based on reverse transcription quantitative PCR results, TaNAC69-1 was strongly expressed under drought, salinity, and high-temperature stress conditions. Compared to control samples, a quick response at the transcription level of TaNAC69-1 was observed after 3 h of salt treatment with a ninefold upregulation. Highest level of expression was observed at 24 and 48 h posttreatment under heat and salinity treatments, respectively. Meanwhile, expression of TtNAMB-2 was significantly induced by salt and low-temperature stresses. Salt treatment induced expression of TtNAMB-2 and caused a 13-fold increase in transcript copy numbers at 48 h posttreatment. Examination of expression changes under abiotic stresses may provide important information for understanding roles of TaNAC69-1 and TtNAMB-2 genes which might be involved in response to environmental stresses.

Expression and activity analyses of industrially important extracellular enzymes produced by a bacilysin knock-out mutant of Bacillus Subtilis
Aytekin, Samet; Özcengiz, Gülay; Okay, Sezer; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (2018)
Bacilysin, the smallest peptide antibiotic known to date, is produced non-ribosomally by Bacillus subtilis by the collective actions of seven proteins transcribed from bacABCDEF operon and bacG gene. Bacilysin is a two-amino acid peptide composed of L-alanine and a modified amino acid, L-anticapsin. Bacilysin biosynthesis was shown to be strongly regulated by quorum sensing through the actions of global regulator proteins including Spo0K, Spo0H, Spo0A, ComQ/ComX, ComP/ComA as well as several Phr proteins, O...

System-wide interactions in living cells and discovery of the diverse roles of transcriptional regulatory proteins that are mediator proteins with catalytic domains and regulatory subunits and transcription factors in the cellular pathways have become crucial for understanding the cellular response to environmental conditions. This review provides information for future metabolic engineering strategies through analyses on the highly interconnected regulatory networks inSaccharomyces cerevisiaeandPichia past...
Partially Observable Gene Regulatory Network Control Without a Boundary on Horizon
Erdogdu, Utku; Polat, Faruk; Alhajj, Reda (2012-11-09)
Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) govern the protein transcription process in the cell and interactions among genes play a vital role in determining the biosynthesis rate of proteins. By using intervention techniques discovered by biological research it is possible to control a GRN, thus promoting or demoting the expression rate of a certain gene. In this work, this control task is studied in a partially observable setting where interventions lack perfect knowledge of the expression level of all genes. Moreov...

We demonstrate for the first time, an expression system mimicking serine alkaline protease synthesis and secretion, producing native form of human growth hormone (hGH) from Bacillus subtilis. A hybrid-gene of two DNA fragments, i.e., signal (pre-) DNA sequence of B. licheniformis serine alkaline protease gene (subC) and cDNA encoding hGH, were cloned into pMK4 and expressed under deg-promoter in B. subtilis. Recombinant-hGH (rhGH) produced by B. subtilis carrying pMK4::pre(subC)::hGH was secreted. N-termina...
Integer linear programming based solutions for construction of biological networks
Eren Özsoy, Öykü; Can, Tolga; Department of Health Informatics (2014)
Inference of gene regulatory or signaling networks from perturbation experiments and gene expression assays is one of the challenging problems in bioinformatics. Recently, the inference problem has been formulated as a reference network editing problem and it has been show that finding the minimum number of edit operations on a reference network in order to comply with perturbation experiments is an NP-complete problem. In this dissertation, we propose linear programming based solutions for reconstruction o...
