Transcription profiling of Saccharomyces cerevisiae delta-rsf1mutant during growth on, and transition to growth on glycerol as sole carbon source

ABSTRACT: Rsf1p is a putative transcription factor required for efficient growth using glycerol as sole carbon source but not for growth on the alternative respiratory carbon source ethanol. We use microarrays to determine the differences in the transcriptional program between the delta-rsf1 mutant and the wild type during respiratory growth on glycerol as well as the transition to growth on glycerol as sole carbon source. Experiment Overall Design: delta-rsf1or the isogenic parent strain were grown to early log (A600=0.6) in YPD and then washed twice in prewarmed YPG (30 C) and returned to the air shaker in YPG for 15, 30 or 60 minutes. "Limit" conditions were provided by harvesting cells grown in YPD to early log phase without shifting to YPG and by harvesting cells grown in YPG to early log phase. Since the delta-rsf1 mutant and its isogenic parent strain grow equally well on the respiratory carbon source ethanol, cells were also harvested after being grown in ethanol to early log phase.

Project description:Transcriptome analyses using a wild-type strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were performed to assess the overall pattern of gene expression during the transition from glucose-based fermentative to glycerol-based respiratory growth. These experiments revealed a complex suite of metabolic and structural changes associated with the adaptation process. Alterations in gene expression leading to remodeling of various membrane transport systems and the cortical actin cytoskeleton were observed. Transition to respiratory growth was accompanied by alterations in transcript patterns demonstrating not only a general stress response, as seen in earlier studies, but also the oxidative and osmotic stress responses. In some contrast to earlier studies, these experiments identified modulation of expression for many genes specifying transcription factors during the transition to glycerol-based growth. Importantly and unexpectedly, an ordered series of changes was seen in transcript levels from genes encoding components of the TFIID, SAGA (Spt-Ada-Gcn5-Acetyltransferase), and SLIK (Saga LIKe) complexes and all three RNA polymerases, suggesting a modulation of structure for the basal transcriptional machinery during adaptation to respiratory growth. In concert with data given in earlier studies, the results presented here highlight important aspects of metabolic and other adaptations to respiratory growth in yeast that are common to utilization of multiple carbon sources. Importantly, they also identify aspects specific to adaptation of this organism to growth on glycerol as sole carbon source. A time-series illustrating the transition from fermentation using glucose (dextrose) as sole carbon source to respiration using glycerol as sole carbon source. Time points of 15 minutes, 30 minutes and 60 minutes as well as growth on dextrose, glycerol or ethanol as sole carbon source from a starter culture. Three biological replicates of the 30 minute time point and growth on glycerol from starter culture.
