Global expression analyses of yeast cells harboring specific members of the cytosolic Hsp70-Ssa family
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Yeast DNA microarray was used to assess and compare the global expression profile of strains harboring different family members of the major cytosolic Hsp70 family. Viability of a yeast strain deleted for all genes encoding members of the Hsp70-Ssa family (Ssa1/2/3/4) was maintained by the presence of a single Ssa family member expressed ectopically from a plasmid vector. The Hsp70-Ssa family constitutes the main source of Hsp70 molecular chaperone activity in the yeast cell. A yeast cell must actively express a member of this family to remain viable. Hsp70-Ssa are highly conserved both within yeast and amongst other species. Ssa1 and 2 are 97% identical at amino acid level and 80% identical to Ssa3 and 4. The aim of this study was to attribute specific functions to single Ssa family members by identifying specific genes or gene families whose expression was altered in the presence (or absence) of Ssa family members.
