Project description:Numerous factors have been implicated in regulating gene expression changes, including changes to nucleosome occupancy. Here we followed dynamic changes to nucleosome occupancy, gene expression and DNA binding of the transcription factor Msn2p genome-wide in yeast cells responding to hydrogen peroxide and reveal new relationships between regulators of stress-dependent gene expression in yeast. Nucleosome occupancy was measured in the S288c derivative BY4741 and a strain lacking MSN2 and MSN4. Nucleosomes were isolated from unstressed yeast and yeast treated for 20 min with 0.4mM H2O2. Nucleosomal samples were compared in a 2-color, competitive hybridization to sheared genomic DNA.

Here we followed dynamic changes to nucleosome occupancy, gene expression and DNA binding of the transcription factor Msn2p genome-wide in yeast cells responding to hydrogen peroxide and reveal new relationships between regulators of stress-dependent gene expression in yeast. Gene expression was measured in response to 0.4mM H2O2 in the S288c derivative BY4741 in wild-type cells and cells lacking MSN2 and MSN4. A single replicate of a time course spanning from 4 to 60 minutes after treatment in each cell type. An additional 3 repliactes were collected from cells 30 minutes after treatment.
Project description:Samples GSM206658-GSM206693: Acquired Stress resistance in S. cerevisiae: NaCl primary and H2O2 secondary Transcriptional timecourses of yeast cells exposed to 0.7M NaCl alone, 0.5mM H2O2 alone, or 0.5mM H2O2 following 0.7M NaCl, all compared to an unstressed sample. Repeated using msn2∆ strain. Samples GSM291156-GSM291196: Transcriptional response to stress in strains lacking MSN2 and/or MSN4 Transcriptional timecourses of yeast cells (WT, msn2∆, msn4∆, or msn2∆msn4∆) exposed to 0.7M NaCl for 45 minutes or 30-37˚C Heat Shift for 15 min compared to an unstressed sample of the same strain.

Project description:BY4741 (S288c haploid) cells have different gene expression in response to 0.4mM H2O2 when pretreated with 0.7M NaCl compared to cells that are not pretreated with NaCl (mock cells). Cells lacking Nup42p do not exhibit a different gene expression in response to H2O2 between naive cells and cells pretreated with 0.7M NaCl
Project description:BY4741 (S288c haploid) cells have different gene expression in response to 0.4mM H2O2 when pretreated with 0.7M NaCl compared to cells that are not pretreated with NaCl (mock cells). BY4741 cells were grown in log phase for 3 doublings (t0) and then the genomic expression of mock cells to 0.4mM H2O2 was assessed every 10 mins for 40 mins. To study the effects of NaCl treatement on H2O2 response, BY4741 cells were grown in log phase for 3 doublings (t0) and then the genomic expression of cells was measured in response to 0.7M NaCl over the course of 60 min every 15 mins. The cells were then removed from stress and grown in stress free media for four hours (T240). Then these cells were exposed to 0.4mM H2O2 and the genomic expression was measured every 10 minutes during the H2O2 timecourse of 40 minutes. To see if the handling of cells had an affect on gene expression, BY4741 cells were grown for exponentially for 3 doublings (t0), received a mock YPD treatment for 60 mins, grown for 4 hours (T240) and then collected to asses genomic expression. Duplicates were done for at 30 and 45 minutes for the NaCl timecourse, triplicate were done for 0, 10 and 20 minutes in H2O2 timecourse and duplicates were done for 30 and 40 minutes in the H2O2 timecourse.
Project description:The heat shock response is an ancient and ubiquitous program allowing organisms to survive adverse environmental conditions. In S. cerevisiae, three transcription factors, Hsf1, Msn2 and Msn4, are thought to regulate the stress response. While Msn2/4 can be deleted, Hsf1 is essential. By combining the depletion of Hsf1 with the deletion of Msn2 and Msn4, we were able to switch off the central stress response. We show that the transcription factors Hsf1 and Msn2/4 follow different strategies and regimes: Whereas Msn2/4 are responsible for a broad metabolic response, Hsf1 triggers a direct chaperone response to stabilize and repair unfolded proteins. Exposure of cells lacking Msn2/4 and Hsf1 to thermal stress resulted in massive protein aggregation. Comparison with wildtype yeast revealed that among the proteins rescued by the stress response are many essential proteins.
