Project description:Transcription is a major obstacle for replication fork progression and a cause of genome instability. Yra1 is an essential nuclear factor of the evolutionarily conserved family of hnRNP-like export factors that when overexpressed impairs mRNA export and cell growth. Through this ChIP-chip analysis it is shown that Yra1 binds to active chromatin and is enriched at telomeres when it is overexpressed, in agreement with a possible role of this mRNP factor in the maintenance of telomere integrity. Our data indicate that YRA1 overexpression correlates with replication impairment as inferred by the increase of Rrm3, a helicase involved in the replication fork progression, at transcribed genes and telomeres. ChIP-chip studies were perfomed with antibodies against HA-tagged Yra1 protein in wild-type cells and cells overexpressing YRA1 of the yeast S. Cerevisiae, as well as Flag-tagged Rrm3 protein in both wild-type and cells overexpressing YRA1.

Project description:We performed a set of microarray and chromatin-immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-chip experiments using siRNA against the (pro)renin receptor ((P)RR), stable overexpression of PLZF, the PLZF translocation inhibitor genistein and the specific V-ATPase inhibitor bafilomycin to dissect transcriptional pathways downstream of the (P)RR.
Project description:Transcription is a major obstacle for replication fork progression and a cause of genome instability. Such instability increases in mutants with an imbalance proportion of Yra1, a component of THO/TREX. We used microarrays to the global impact of Yra1 overexpression and found that no general impact was observed.
