Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Number of dusk gene targets of RpaA only (red), RpaB only (blue), RpaA and RpaB (yellow), or neither (black). Target genes of binding sites of RpaA and RpaB were determined using chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing under several different light conditions (see Materials and methods, ChIP-seq analysis, for more details. See or for full lists of RpaA and RpaB peaks associated with dusk genes). ( B ) Light-responsive changes in gene expression of dusk genes. For each dusk gene, we calculated the maximal log 2 change in expression during the High Light pulse (x-axis) or Shade pulse (y-axis) from 8 hr since dawn in the Low light or Clear day conditions, respectively, using the data from . ( C ) Normalized ChIP-seq signal of RpaA (red), RpaB (blue), RNAP (green) and mock IP (black) upstream of the dusk sigma factor gene rpoD6 at 8 hr since dawn in Low Light. The chromosomal location of the gene is located on the plot with a gray bar with an arrow indicating directionality of the gene. The location of RpaA, RpaB, and RNAP peaks are indicated on top of the plot with red (RpaA), blue (RpaB), and green (RNAP) bars. See Materials and methods, ChIP-seq analysis for more details. ( D ) Changes in enrichment upstream of rpoD6 of RpaA (red), RpaB (blue), and RNAP (green) and changes in rpoD6 gene expression (black) after exposure to the High Light pulse (triangles) or the Shade pulse (circles). See Materials and methods, ChIP-seq analysis for more details.
