Project description:Affymetrix experiment performed on RNA isolated from Wild type, FHL1 deleted and FHL1,IFH1 double deleted strains. Data aquired in duplicate.,In S. cerevisiae the mRNAs from the 138 ribosomal protein (RP) genes are amongst the most abundant in the cell, and their transcription is regulated tightly so that they are the most prominent cluster in most transcriptome experiments. It has recently been observed that the proteins Fhl1p and Ifh1p are found almost exclusively at RP genes (Lee et al., Science, 298, 799-804, 2002;Jorgensen et al., Genes Dev, 18, 2491-2505 2004; Schawalder et al Nature in press; Rudra et al , EMBO J. submitted), and data suggests they are the true transcription factors.,This experiment utilizes Affymetrix arrays to measure the level of all mRNAs in cells with a deletion of FHL1 or of both FHL1 and IFH1, compared to the wild type strain, W303. Such mutant cells are viable but grow very slowly (Hermann-Le Denmat S. et al., Mol Cell Biol, 14, 2905-2913, 1994; Cherel and Thuriaux, Yeast, 11, 261-270, 1995). Total RNA was made from log phase cells, amplified according to conventional methods, and hybridized to the array. (Since the total RNA/cell of the mutants is only a fifth of the wt, each mutant required five times the number of cells to provide the same amount of RNA.) The experiment was carried out in duplicate and the six tables provide the raw data from the wt, W303, delFHL1, and delFHL1, delIFH1 strains.,Although we expected that the RP genes would be substantially reduced in these mutant cells, they are only slightly less abundant than normal in comparison to all other mRNAs! The interesting result is that the cells respond to a severe deficiency of ribosomes by reducing the level of nearly all mRNAs to match the capacity of the translational apparatus.
Project description:The N-terminal tail of histone H2A shows evolutionary changes that parallel genome size and aid chromatin compaction. As genome size increases, so does the number of arginines. In contrast, serines corellate with small genomes. Examples for such changes are arginine in position 11 and serine in position 15. To test if these residues affect mRNA levels, we analysed gene expression profiles of S.cerevisiae strains containing either WT or mutant H2A. Yeast strains have endogenous histone H2A genes deleted and express plasmid born WT or mutant H2A. PolyA RNA of these strains was analyzed by single channel microarray hybridization. Three WT biological replicates provide the control. Two biological replicates of each of the mutants containing either R11, K11, carrying a deletion in S15 and the double mutant carrying both the deletion of S15 and an insertion of R11 are analysed.
