A trans-acting long non-coding RNA represses flowering in Arabidopsis
[article]
2021
bioRxiv
pre-print
Eukaryotic genomes give rise to thousands of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), yet the purpose of lncRNAs remains largely enigmatic. Functional characterization of lncRNAs is challenging due to multiple orthogonal hypothesis for molecular activities of lncRNA loci. Here, we identified a flowering associated intergenic lncRNA (FLAIL) that represses flowering in Arabidopsis. An allelic series of flail loss-of-function mutants generated by CRISPR/Cas9 and T-DNA mutagenesis showed an early flowering

... henotype. Gene expression analyses in flail mutants revealed differentially expressed genes linked to the regulation of flowering. A genomic rescue fragment of FLAIL introduced in flail mutants complemented gene expression defects and early flowering, consistent with trans-acting effects of the FLAIL RNA. Knock-down of FLAIL RNA levels using the artificial microRNA approach revealed an early flowering phenotype shared with genomic mutations, indicating a trans-acting role of FLAIL RNA in the repression of flowering time. Genome-wide detection of FLAIL-DNA interactions by ChIRP-seq suggested that FLAIL may directly bind genomic regions. FLAIL bound to genes involved in regulation of flowering that were differentially expressed in flail, consistent with the interpretation of FLAIL as a trans-acting lncRNA directly shaping gene expression. Our findings highlight FLAIL as a trans-acting lncRNA that affects flowering in Arabidopsis, likely through mediating transcriptional regulation of genes directly bound by FLAIL.

A simple-rapid method to separate uranium, thorium, and protactinium for U-series age-dating of materials
2014
Journal of Environmental Radioactivity
Uranium-series dating techniques require the isolation of radionuclides in high yields and in fractions free of impurities. Within this context, we describe a novel-rapid method for the separation and purification of U, Th, and Pa. The method takes advantage of differences in the chemistry of U, Th, and Pa, utilizing a commercially-available extraction chromatographic resin (TEVA) and standard reagents. The elution behavior of U, Th, and Pa were optimized using liquid scintillation counting

... niques and fractional purity was evaluated by alpha-spectrometry. The overall method was further assessed by isotope dilution alpha-spectrometry for the preliminary age determination of an ancient carbonate sample obtained from the Lake Bonneville site in western Utah (United States). Preliminary evaluations of the method produced elemental purity of greater than 99.99% and radiochemical recoveries exceeding 90% for U and Th and 85% for Pa. Excellent purity and yields (76% for U, 96% for Th and 55% for Pa) were also obtained for the analysis of the carbonate samples and the preliminary Pa and Th ages of about 39,000 years before present are consistent with 14 C-derived age of the material.

Microbial range expansions on liquid substrates

Despite the importance that fluid flow plays in transporting and organizing populations, few laboratory systems exist to systematically investigate the impact of advection on their spatial evolutionary dynamics. To address this problem, we study the morphology and genetic spatial structure of microbial colonies growing on the surface of a nutrient-laden fluid 10^4 to 10^5 times more viscous than water in Petri dishes, the extreme but finite viscosity inhibits undesired thermal convection and

... ows populations to effectively live at the air-liquid interface due to capillary forces. We discover that S. cerevisiae (baker's yeast) growing on a viscous liquid behave like "active matter": they metabolically generate fluid flows many times larger than their unperturbed colony expansion speed, and that flow, in return, can dramatically impact their colony morphology and spatial population genetics. We show that yeast cells generate fluid flows by consuming surrounding nutrients and decreasing the local substrate density, leading to misaligned fluid pressure and density contours, which ultimately generates vorticity via a thresholdless baroclinic instability. Numerical simulations demonstrate that an intense vortex ring is produced below the colony's edge and quantitatively predict the observed flow. As the viscosity of the substrate is lowered and the self-induced flow intensifies, we observe three distinct morphologies: at the highest viscosity,compact circular colonies similar to those grown on hard agar plates except with a stretched regime of exponential expansion, intermediate viscosities give rise to compact colonies with "fingers" that are ripped away to break into smaller cell clusters, and at the lowest viscosity, the expanding colony breaks up into many genetically-diverse, mutually repelling, island-like fragments of yeast colonies.

Spatially-constrained growth enhances conversional meltdown
[article]
2015
bioRxiv
pre-print
Cells that mutate or commit to a specialized function (differentiate) often undergo conversions that are effectively irreversible. Slowed growth of converted cells can act as a form of selection, balancing unidirectional conversion to maintain both cell types at a steady-state ratio. However, when one-way conversion is insufficiently counterbalanced by selection, the original cell type will ultimately be lost, often with negative impacts on the population's overall fitness. The critical balance

... between selection and conversion needed for preservation of unconverted cells and the steady-state ratio between cell types depends on the spatial circumstances under which cells proliferate. We present experimental data on a yeast strain engineered to undergo irreversible conversion: this synthetic system permits cell type-specific fluorescent labeling and exogenous variation of the relative growth and conversion rates. We find that populations confined to grow on a flat agar surface are more susceptible than their well-mixed counterparts to fitness loss via a conversion-induced "meltdown." We then present analytical predictions for growth in several biologically-relevant geometries -- well-mixed liquid media, radially-expanding two-dimensional colonies, and linear fronts in two dimensions -- by employing analogies to the directed percolation transition from non-equilibrium statistical physics. These simplified theories are consistent with the experimental results.
