Project description:Transcription is a major obstacle for replication fork progression and a cause of genome instability. Such instability increases in mutants with a suboptimal assembly of the nascent messenger ribonucleo-protein particle (mRNP), as THO/TREX and the NPC-associated THSC/TREX-2 complex. We used microarrays to analyze the global impact of THSC/TREX-2 in gene expression and found that Thp1 and Sac3 depletion has a functional impact in highly-expressed, long and G+C-rich genes regardless of their function S. cerevisiae strains were grown in YPD liquid culture, total RNA was isolated and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays
Project description:A six array study using total gDNA recovered from two separate cultures of each of three different strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (YB-210 or CRB, Y389 or MUSH, and Y2209 or LEP) and two separate cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae DBY8268. Each array measures the hybridization of probes tiled across the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome.
Project description:Saccharomyces cerevisiae wildtype (YPH) and ung1-deleted strains were cultivated in mutation accumulation experiments over several bottlenecks (0-50-100-150). Two different cutlure systems were used either (i) using random colony selection and plating on petri dish (classical); or (ii) a microfluidic-based system (microfluidic)
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:The goal of the study was to compare the response to Protien Kinase A (PKA) inhibition between Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Kluyveromyces lactis. The ancestor of K. lactis did not undergo the Whole Genome Duplication (or Whole Genome Hybridization) event that S. cerevisiae experienced. We found that many paralog pairs in S. cerevisiae were differentially induced in response to PKA inhibition, and that the shared ortholog for these paralog paris in K. lactis was typically not induced. To inhibit PKA, strains containing point mutations rendering PKA sensitive to inhibition by the ATP analog 1-NM-PP1 were generated. The transcription factors Msn2/4 and Rph1/Gis1 in S. cerevisiae and their shared orthologs in K. lactis were deleted in both species to quantify and compare the effect of those transcription factors on the response to PKA inhibition in each species.
