Elucidation of the RNA-granule inducing sodium azide stress response through transcriptome analysis
Sodium azide is a commonly used cytochrome oxidase inhibitor that leads to translation repression and RNA granule assembly. The global changes in mRNA abundance in response to this stressor are unknown. RGG-motif proteins Scd6 and Sbp1 are translation-repressors and decapping-activators that localiz...

Sumario: | Sodium azide is a commonly used cytochrome oxidase inhibitor that leads to translation repression and RNA granule assembly. The global changes in mRNA abundance in response to this stressor are unknown. RGG-motif proteins Scd6 and Sbp1 are translation-repressors and decapping-activators that localize to and affect the assembly of RNA granules in response to sodium azide stress. Transcriptome-wide effects of these proteins remain unknown. To address this, we have sequenced transcriptome of the: a) wild type strain under unstressed and sodium azide stress, b) Δscd6 and Δsbp1 strains under unstressed and sodium azide stress. Transcriptome analysis identified altered abundance of many transcripts belonging to stress-responsive pathways which were further validated by qRT-PCR results. Abundance of several transcripts was altered in Δscd6/Δsbp1 under normal conditions and upon stress. Overall, this study provides critical insights into transcriptome changes in response to sodium azide stress and the role of RGG-motif proteins in these changes. |
