Project description:To gain insight into the basic mechanism of Cd detoxification in the methylotrophic yeast, H. polymorpha, we analyzed temporal changes in transcriptional profiles in response to Cd exposure. We used H. polymorpha whole-genome cDNA microarrays, which contain 98% of all H. polymorpha ORFs in duplicate or triplicate. Keywords: time course, cadmium
Project description:Transcriptome profiling analysis of the Hansenula polymorpha MET4 gene deletion strain have been carried out to obtain comprehensive information on the HpMet4p-mediated regulatory networks in association with the cadmium (Cd) detoxification and sulfur regulation in H. polymorpha. Total RNA samples were collected from H. polymorpha wild type, and HpMET4 deletion strain, under sulfur starvation or Cd (0.6 mM) stress conditions. The differential fluorescence intensities of each RNA sample were measured after labeling with Cy3 or Cy5. For all analyses, we performed dye swapping experiments to avoid dye bias. Thus, four intensity values were generated for each ORF and averaged for analysis.
