Transcriptional regulatory network (TRN) discovery using information from a single source does not seem feasible due to lack of sufficient information, resulting in the construction of spurious or incomplete TRNs. A methodology, TRND, that integrates a preliminary TRN, gene expression data and gene ontology is developed to discover TRNs. The method is applied to a comprehensive set of expression data on B cell and a preliminary TRN that included 1,335 genes, 443 transcription factors (TFs) and 4032 gene/TF interactions. Predictions were obtained for 443 TFs and 9,589 genes. 14,616 of 4,247,927 possible gene/TF interactions scored higher than the imposed threshold. Results for three TFs, E2F-4, p130 and c-Myc, were examined in more detail to assess the accuracy of the integrated methodology. Although the training sets for E2F-4 and p130 were rather limited, the activities of these two TFs were found to be highly correlated and a large set of coregulated genes is predicted. These predictions were confirmed with published experimental results not used in the training set. A similar test was run for the c-Myc TF using the comprehensive resource www.myccancergene.org. In addition, correlations between expression of genes that encode TFs and TF activities were calculated and showed that the assumption of TF activity correlates with encoding gene expression might be misleading. The constructed B cell TRN, and scores for individual methodologies and the integrated approach are available at systemsbiology.indiana.edu/trndresults

Transcriptional regulatory network discovery via multiple method integration: application to e. coli KI2 Sun, Jingjun; Tuncay, Kağan; Haidar, Alaa Abi; Ensman, Lisa; Stanley, Frank; Trelinski, Michael; Ortoleva, Peter (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-03-30) Transcriptional regulatory network (TRN) discovery from one method (e. g. microarray analysis, gene ontology, phylogenic similarity) does not seem feasible due to lack of sufficient information, resulting in the construction of spurious or incomplete TRNs. We develop a methodology, TRND, that integrates a preliminary TRN, microarray data, gene ontology and phylogenic similarity to accurately discover TRNs and apply the method to E. coli KI2. The approach can easily be extended to include other methodologies...
Transcriptional regulatory proteins in central carbon metabolism ofPichia pastorisandSaccharomyces cerevisiae Kalender, Ozge; Çalık, Pınar (2020-09-01) 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...
Transcriptional engineering of the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase promoter for improved heterologous protein production in Pichia pastoris Ata, Ozge; Prielhofer, Roland; Gasser, Brigitte; Mattanovich, Diethard; Çalık, Pınar (2017-10-01) The constitutive glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase promoter (P-GAP), which is one of the benchmark promoters of Pichia pastoris, was analyzed in terms of putative transcription factor binding sites. We constructed a synthetic library with distinct regulatory properties through deletion and duplication of these putative transcription factor binding sites and selected transcription factor (TF) genes were overexpressed or deleted to understand their roles on heterologous protein production. Using enhanc...
Data Integration in Functional Analysis of MicroRNAs OĞUL, HASAN; Akkaya, Mahinur (2011-12-01) The discovery of microRNAs (miRNAs), about a decade ago, has completely changed our understanding of the complexity of gene regulatory networks. It has already been shown that they are abundantly found in many organisms and can regulate hundreds of genes in post-transcriptional level. To elucidate the individual or co-operative effects of miRNAs, it is required to place them in the overall network of gene regulation and link them to other pathways and systems-level processes. One key step in this effort is ...
Expression Analysis of TaNAC69-1 and TtNAMB-2, Wheat NAC Family Transcription Factor Genes Under Abiotic Stress Conditions in Durum Wheat (Triticum turgidum) Baloglu, Mehmet Cengiz; Oz, Mehmet Tufan; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Yücel, Ayşe Meral (2012-10-01) 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. C...
