Project description:Sequencing of the barcodes of pooled yeast deletion collection in carbon source shifts to identify the genes affecting history dependent behavior.
Project description:Carbon source is the basic nutrition and is essential for yeast growth. We grew the yeast cells (BY4741 strain) under different carbon sources including glucose with different concentration, galactose and raffinose. We generated bulk-cell RNA-seq data and investigated the dynamics of gene expression profiles under different growth conditions. We also generated single-cell RNA-seq data for yeast cells under 2% glucose, and explored the heterogeneity of gene expression within a cell population.
Project description:Adaptation to altered osmotic conditions is a fundamental property of living cells and has been studied in particular detail in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Yeast cells accumulate glycerol as compatible solute, controlled at different levels by the High Osmolarity Glycerol (HOG) response pathway. Up to now, essentially all osmostress studies in yeast have been performed with glucose as carbon and energy source, which is metabolised by glycolysis with glycerol is as a normal by-product. Here we investigated the response of yeast to osmotic stress when yeast is respiring ethanol as carbon and energy source. Remarkably, yeast cells do not accumulate glycerol under these conditions and it appears that trehalose may partly take over the role as compatible solute. The HOG pathway is activated in very much the same way as in during growth on glucose medium and is also required for osmotic adaptation. Slower volume recovery was observed in ethanol-grown cells as compared to glucose-grown cells. Dependence on key regulators as well as the global gene expression profile were similar in many ways to those previously observed in glucose-grown cells. However, there are indications that cells re-arrange redox-metabolism when respiration is hampered under osmostress, a feature that could not be observed in glucose-grown cells.
Project description:In this study, we measured histone H3Lys4 trimethylation in budding yeast S. cerevisiae for wild type and cnc1Djhd2D yeast mutants. These experiments were performed for yeast cultured to mid-logarithmic phase in non-fermentable carbon.

Project description:To determine the complement of Ume6-dependent genes expressed during mitosis and/or meiosis in budding yeast we compared wild-type and<br>ume6 deletion strains using Yeast 2.0 high density oligonucleotide microarrays (GeneChips). Samples were analysed from cells growing in rich medium with fermentable (glucose) and non-fermentable (acetate) carbon sources and from cells undergoing meiosis and spore formation in sporulation medium. Expression data were combined with data from a genome-wide Ume6 DNA binding assay and Ume6-target site prediction to identify the most likely direct target genes of Ume6.
Project description:In response to limited nitrogen and abundant carbon sources, diploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains undergo a filamentous transition in cell growth as part of pseudohyphal differentiation. Use of the disaccharide maltose as the principal carbon source, in contrast to the preferred nutrient monosaccharide glucose, has been shown to induce a hyper-filamentous growth phenotype in a strain deficient for GPA2 which codes for a Galpha protein component that interacts with the glucose-sensing receptor Gpr1p to regulate filamentous growth. In this report, we compare the global transcript and proteomic profiles of wild-type and Gpa2p deficient diploid yeast strains grown on both rich and nitrogen starved maltose media. We find that deletion of GPA2 results in significantly different transcript and protein profiles when switching from rich to nitrogen starvation media. The results are discussed with a focus on the genes associated with carbon utilization, or regulation thereof, and a model for the contribution of carbon sensing/metabolism-based signal transduction to pseudohyphal differentiation is proposed.
