Project description:The strain bdf1∆bdf2∆[BDF2 L][SIR2 H] improved salt resistance of bdf1∆. To gain further insight into the mechanism of BDF1 in suppressing bdf1∆ salt sensitivity, DNA microarray analysis was performed to determine the reason for the salt sensitivity of bdf1∆ cells and the process of how coexpression of SIR2 and BDF2 improves salt resistance. Transcriptomic analysis under salt treatment (0.6 mol.L-1 NaCl for 45 min) was performed using three different strains: bdf1∆bdf2∆[BDF2 L][SIR2 H], bdf1∆bdf2∆[BDF2 L][pYX242] and bdf1∆[pRS316][pYX242]. The transcription of 3244 genes were significantly changed( > 2-fold) in bdf1∆bdf2∆[BDF2 L][SIR2 H] compared with bdf1∆[pRS316][pYX242] upon NaCl stress (0.6 mol.L-1 NaCl for 45 min). Only 281 genes were significantly changed ( > 2-fold) in bdf1∆bdf2∆[BDF2 L][pYX242] compared with bdf1∆[pRS316][pYX242] upon NaCl stress (0.6 mol∙L-1 NaCl for 45 min). BF2:bdf1∆[pRS316][pYX242]. BF2B: bdf1∆bdf2∆[BDF2 L][pYX242]. BF2S:bdf1∆bdf2∆[BDF2 L][SIR2 H].

Project description:Yeast cells can be affected during their growth to several stress conditions. One of the most known and characterised is the osmotic stress and most of the studies about osmotic sterss response in yeast have been focused on salt or sorbitol stress. However, during yeast growth in industrially relevant processes (for instance throughout alcoholic fermentation on the must to produce alcoholic beverages) the osmotic stress is mainly due to the high sugar(in particular glucose) concentration (200-250 g/L).
Project description:Telomere chromatin structure is pivotal for maintaining genome stability by regulating the binding of telomere-associated proteins and inhibition of a DNA damage response. In yeast, the silent information regulator (Sir) proteins bind to terminal telomeric repeats and to subtelomeric X-elements resulting in histone deacetylation and transcriptional silencing. Herein, we show that sir2 mutant strains display a very specific loss of a nucleosome residing in the X-element. Most yeast telomeres contain an X-element and the nucleosome occupancy defect in sir2 mutants is remarkably consistent between different telomeres.
Project description:Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an excellent microorganism for industrial succinic acid production, but high succinic acid concentration will inhibit the growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae then reduce the production of succinic acid. Through analysis the transcriptomic data of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with different genetic backgrounds under different succinic acid stress, we hope to find the response mechanism of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to succinic acid.
Project description:High concenHigh concentration acetic acid in the fermentation medium represses cell growth, metabolism and fermentation efficiency of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is widely used for cellulosic ethanol production. Our previous study proved that supplementation of zinc sulfate in the fermentation medium improved cell growth and ethanol fermentation performance of S. cerevisiae under acetic acid stress condition. However, the molecular mechanisms is still unclear. To explore the underlying mechanism of zinc sulfate protection against acetic acid stress, transcriptomic and proteomic analysis were performed. The changed genes and proteins are related to carbon metabolism, amino acid biosynthesis, energy metabolism, vitamin biosynthesis and stress responses. In a total, 28 genes showed same expression in transcriptomic and proteomic data, indicating that zinc sulfate affects gene expression at posttranscriptional and posttranslational levels.tration acetic acid in the fermentation medium represses cell growth, metabolism and fermentation efficiency of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is widely used for cellulosic ethanol production.

Project description:Industrial bioethanol production may involve a low pH environment,improving the tolerance of S. cerevisiae to a low pH environment caused by inorganic acids may be of industrial importance to control bacterial contamination, increase ethanol yield and reduce production cost. Through analysis the transcriptomic data of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with different ploidy under low pH stress, we hope to find the tolerance mechanism of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to low pH.
