Transcriptional changes due to the [GAR+] prion

ABSTRACT: Comparison between [gar-] and [GAR+] samples of the W303 background grown in 2% glucose. Three separate [gar-] and [GAR+] cultures were grown to late exponential phase (OD600~0.8) prior to phenol-chloroform extraction. Biological replicates are [gar-] samples #1, 2, and 3 and [GAR+] samples #1, 2, and 3. [gar-] and [GAR+] sample sets were compared to determine transcriptional differences.

Project description:Effect of either FLO8 or MSS11 deletion and -overexpression on yeast transcript profiles compared to wild type in laboratory yeast strains Σ1278b and S288c - also the effect of FLO11 (MUC1) overexpression in the Σ1278b genetic background The aim of this study was to (1) perform a repeat analysis (to improve statistical analysis of these data sets) similar to data submitted previously (GSE17716) and also (2) study the effect of FLO11 over-expression on the transcriptome. Background: The outer cell wall of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae serves as the interface with the surrounding environment and defines cell-cell and cell-surface interactions. Many of these interactions are facilitated by specific adhesins that belong to the Flo protein family. This family of mannoproteins has been implicated in phenotypes such as flocculation and substrate adhesion as well as pseudohyphal growth. Genetic data strongly suggest that individual Flo proteins are responsible for many specific cellular adhesion phenotypes. However, it remains unclear whether such phenotypes are determined solely by the nature of the expressed FLO genes or rather the result of a combination of FLO gene expression and other cell wall properties and cell wall proteins. Mss11p has been shown to be a central element of FLO1 and FLO11 gene regulation and acts together with the cAMP-PKA-dependent transcription factor Flo8p. We use genome wide transcript analysis to identify genes that are direct ly or indirectly regulated by Mss11p in the genetic backgrounds: Sigma1278b and S288c. Sigma 1278b is the strain historically used for the study of pseudohyphae (FLO11 expression) but we also included S288c as this strain is widely used in the research community and was used to determine the first full genome sequence (Thus correspond with SGD information). We also compare this data with transcriptome data from Sigma 1278b yeast over-expressing FLO8 to compare similarities/differences between these two signalling factors. Finally the effect of FLO11 over-expression in Sigma1278b on global transcription is studied so that we can differentiate between "direct" gene targets of Flo8p or Mss11p, and those regulated as a result by the "indirect" effect caused by modified cell wall Flo11p levels. We used two laboratory yeast strains that behave different with regard to adhesion phenotypes. By comparing yeast deleted in either FLO8 or MSS11 to wild type, or yeast overexpressing these genes, in both genetic backgrounds, we investigate the role of Flo8p and Mss11p on yeast transcription. In addition the effect of the over-expression of the adhesin gene FLO11 was studied in Sigma 1278b. By using similar growth conditions to what we use for adhesion phenotype determination we aim to correlate transcription profile changes to yeast behaviour (phenotypes).
