Project description:We undertook an inter-laboratory effort to generate high-quality quantitative data for a very large number of cellular components in yeast using transcriptome and metabolome analysis. We ensured the high-quality of the experimental data by evaluating a wide range of sampling and measurement techniques. The data were generated for two different yeast strains, each growing under two different growth conditions and based on integrated analysis of the high-throughput data we hypothesize that differences in growth rates and yields on glucose between the two strains are due to differences in protein metabolism. Two yeast strains, YSBN2 and CEN.PK 113-7D, were grown in aerobical batch as well as glucose-limited chemostat (dilution rate 0.1h-1) in biological triplicates

Project description:The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a powerful model system that is often used to expand our understanding of cellular processes and biological functions. Although many genetically well-characterized laboratory strains of S. cerevisiae are available, they may have different genetic backgrounds which can confound data interpretation. Here, we profile and compare the proteomes of two common laboratory yeast background strains, W303 and BY4742, in both exponential and stationary growth phases using isobaric tag-based mass spectrometry. We quantified over 4,400 proteins, hundreds of which showed differences in abundance between strains and/or growth phases. Moreover, we used proteome-wide abundance to profile the mating type of the strains used in the experiment, the auxotrophic markers and associated metabolic pathways, as well as to investigate differences in particular classes of proteins, such as the pleiotropic drug resistance (PDR) proteins. This study is a valuable resource that offers insight into mechanistic differences between two common yeast background strains and can be used as a guide to select a background that is best suited for addressing a particular biological question.

Project description:Here we report the massively parallel cDNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis performed using high throughput sequencing of four vineyard yeast strains collected from the vineyards of the “Prosecco di Conegliano-Valdobbiadene” (P283 and P301 strains) and Piave AO (Appellation of origin) (R008 and R103 strains) regions in North East of Italy. Results were compared with RNA-seq performed on a commercial yeast strain (EC1118) and a laboratory strain (S288c). Yeast cells were collected at two different steps of the fermentation curve: at the beginning of the process, when the CO2 produced by the cells was 6 g/l (middle exponential growth phase), and in the middle of fermentation, at 45 g/l (early stationary phase). Three biological replicates of the fermentations were performed for each strain and samples for RNA-seq were gathered at the beginning of the process. The aim of this experiment was the comparison of the transcriptomes of the six yeast strains to identify the genes characterizing wild type yeast isolates, "commercial" and laboratory strains.

Project description:Laboratory strains of Saccharmoyces cerevisiae have been widely used as a model for studying eukaryotic cells and mapping the molecular mechanisms of many different human diseases. Industrial wine yeasts, on the other hand, have been selected over hundreds of years on the basis of their adaptation to stringent environmental conditions and the organoleptic properties they confer to wine. Here, we applied a two-factor design to study the response of a standard laboratory strain, CEN.PK.113-7D, and an industrial wine yeast-strain, EC1118, to growth temperature at 15°C and 30°C under 12 nitrogen-limited, anaerobic steady-state chemostat cultures. Physiological characterization revealed that growth temperature strongly impacted biomass yields in both strains. Moreover, we observed that the wine yeast is better adapted to mobilizing resources for biomass and that the laboratory yeast exhibited higher fermentation rates. To elucidate mechanistic differences controlling the growth temperature response and underlying adaptive mechanisms between strains, DNA microarrays and targeted metabolome analysis were used. We identified 1007 temperature dependent genes and 473 strain dependent genes. The transcriptional response was used to identify highly correlated subnetworks of significantly changing genes in metabolism. We show that temperature differences most strongly affect nitrogen metabolism and the heat shock response. Lack of STRE mediated gene induction, coupled with reduced trehalose levels, indicates a decreased general stress response at 15°C relative to 30°C. Between strains, differential responses are centred around sugar uptake, nitrogen metabolism and expression of genes related to organoleptic properties. Our study provides global insight into how growth temperature exerts a differential physiological and transcriptional response in laboratory and wine strains of S. cerevisiae.

Project description:The highly conserved protein eIF5A found in archaea and all eucaryotes uniquely contains the posttranslationally formed amino acid hypusine. Despite being essential the functions of this protein and its modification remain unclear. To gain more insight into these functions temperature sensitive mutants of the human EIF5A1 were characterized in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. EIF5A is proposed to be an RNA binding protein. Thus, we used microarrays to identify special RNA subsets of up- and downregulation that are influenced by a limited eIF5A function in strains expressing a point mutated form of eIF5A. Experiment Overall Design: Wild-type and mutant yeast strains were grown at 25°C following total RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. cRNA probes derived from RNA preparations were obtained from four isogenic, haploid strains from each of the wild-type and the mutant. This ensured that changes in the transcriptome could be attributed to the impaired HYP function of V81G rather than to differences in the genetic background. Therefore, two groups of 4 datasets (per wild-type W303-WT and mutant W303-V81G strains) were generated after hybridisation to the micro arrays.

Project description:Fuel ethanol is now considered a global energy commodity that is fully competitive with gasoline. We have determined genome copy number differences that are common to five industrially important fuel ethanol yeast strains responsible for the production of billions of gallons of fuel ethanol per year from sugarcane. The fuel strains used were CAT1, BG1, PE2, SA1, and VR1 (note that two independent isolates were analyzed, denoted by "-1" and "-2"). These array-CGH data were compared with array-CGH data from nine other non-fuel industrial yeasts: An ale brewing strain ("Sc-ale"), four wine strains (GSY2A, GSY3A, GSY10A, GSY11B), and 4 bakers' yeast strains (GSY149, GSY150, GSY154, GSY155). Our results reveal significant amplifications of the telomeric SNO and SNZ genes only in the fuel strains, whose protein products are involved in the biosynthesis of vitamins B6 (pyridoxine) and B1 (thiamin). We show that these amplifications allow these yeasts to grow efficiently, especially at high sugar concentrations, regardless of the presence or absence of either of the two vitamins. Our results reveal important genetic adaptations that have been selected for in the industrial environment, which may be required for the efficient fermentation of biomass-derived sugars from other renewable feedstocks. A strain or line experiment design type assays differences between multiple strains, cultivars, serovars, isolates, lines from organisms of a single species. Strain Name: fuel strains used for aCGH

Project description:Genetic variation in the population has an influence on the manifestation of monogenic as well as multifactorial disorders, with the underlying genetic contribution dependent on several interacting variants. Common laboratory mouse strains used for modelling human disease lack the genetic variability of the human population. Therefore, outcomes of rodent studies show limited correlation with human disease. The functionality of brain vasculature is an important modifier of brain diseases. Importantly, the restrictive interface between blood and brain – the blood-brain barrier (BBB) serves as a major obstacle for CNS drug delivery. Using genetically diverse mouse strains, we aimed to investigate the phenotypic and transcriptomic variation of the intact BBB in different inbred mouse strains.We investigated the heterogeneity of brain vasculature in recently wild-derived mouse strains (CAST/EiJ, WSB/EiJ, PWK/PhJ) and long-inbred mouse strains (129S1/SvImJ, A/J, C57BL/6J, DBA/2J, NOD/ShiLtJ) using different phenotypic arms. We used immunohistochemistry and confocal laser microscopy followed by quantitative image analysis to determine vascular density and pericyte coverage in two brain regions – cortex and hippocampus. Using a low molecular weight fluorescence tracer, sodium fluorescein and spectrophotometry analysis, we assessed BBB permeability in young and aged mice of selected strains. For further phenotypic characterization of endothelial cells in inbred mouse strains, we performed bulk RNA sequencing of sorted endothelial cells isolated from cortex and hippocampus. We did not detect differences in cortical and hippocampal vessel density and pericyte coverage among all the investigated strains. The staining patterns of endothelial arteriovenous zonation markers were similar in different strains. BBB permeability to a small fluorescent tracer, sodium fluorescein, was also similar in different strains. Transcriptomic analysis of endothelial cells revealed that sex of the animal was a major determinant of gene expression differences. In addition, the expression level of several genes implicated in endothelial function and BBB biology differed between wild-derived and long-inbred mouse strains. Our analysis shows that although there were no major differences in parenchymal vascular morphology and BBB permeability between investigated mouse strains or sexes, transcriptomic differences of brain endothelial cells point to variation in gene expression of the intact BBB. These baseline variances might be confounding factors in pathological conditions that may lead to a differential functional outcome dependent on the sex or genetic polymorphism.

Project description:The environmental stresses and inhibitors encounted by Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains are main limiting factors in bioethanol fermentation. Investigation of the molecular mechanisms underlying the stresses-related phenotypes diversities within and between S. cerevisiae populations could guide the construction of yeast strains with improved stresses tolerance and fermentation performances. Here, we explored the genetic characteristics of the bioethanol S. cerevisiae strains, and elucidated the genetic variations correlated with its advantaged traits (higher ethanol yield under sever conditions and better tolerance to multiple stresses compared to an S288c derived laboratory strain BYZ1). Firstly, pulse-field gel electrophoresis combined with array-comparative genomic hybridization was used to compare the genome structure of industrial strains and the laboratory strain BYZ1.
