Project description:This experiment aims to map nucleosome positions and comparison of the same in WT NORMAL GROWTH vs WT-NUTRIENT STARVATION/isw1∆2∆ MUTANT/rsc4-∆4 MUTANT in Saccharomyces cerevisiae using a custom designed tiling array on Agilent plat form. The corresponding platform is submitted to GEO under Geo-ID GPL15842. 60mer probes with variable tiling density were designed for all the genes transcribed by RNA polymerase III. Each gene is tiled along with its 1kb downstream and upstream region with the exceptions of RPR1, SCR1, RDN5(1-6) and SNR52. Mononucleosomal DNA and size matched naked DNA was competitively hybridized to the array. Data was extracted and normalized log ratios were calculated using Agilent sofware. Normalized log2 ratio data was used in MLM to detection nucleosome positions.
Project description:Metabolic engineering of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for efficient monoterpenes production was mostly restricted by the limited tolerance to these chemicals. Understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the tolerance of S. cerevisiae to monoterpenes was essential for the de novo biosynthesis these chemicals in S. cerevisiae. In this study, commercial oligonucleotide microarray assays were performed to investigate the global response of S. cerevisiae to typical monoterpene D-limonene under transcriptional level. Yeast cell treated with sublethal dose of D-liomonene, gene change profiles were investigated at transcription level and the microarry data were also verified with quantitative real time PCR.
