Project description:Aneuploidy causes a proliferative disadvantage in all cells analyzed to date, yet this condition is associated with a disease characterized by unabated proliferative potential, cancer. The mechanisms that allow cancer cells to tolerate the adverse effects of aneuploidy are not known. To probe this question, we identified aneuploid yeast strains with high proliferative abilities and characterized their genetic alterations. We found both strain-specific genetic alterations and mutations shared between different aneuploid strains. One such mutation, a loss of function mutation in the gene encoding the deubiquitinating enzyme UBP6, improves growth rates in four different aneuploid yeast strains. Our data further suggest that deletion of UBP6 attenuates the effects of aneuploidy on cellular protein composition. Our results demonstrate the existence of aneuploidy-tolerating mutations that improve the fitness of multiple different aneuploidies and highlight the importance of ubiquitin-proteasomal degradation in suppressing the adverse effects of aneuploidy. This dataset contains both expression analysis and CGH of yeast strains bearing extra chromosomes. In all cases, the wt euploid strain grown under the same conditions was used as the reference sample. Reference nucleic acid was generally labeled with Cy3, though some were labeled with Cy5 as indicated in the associated annotations for each array. No replicate arrays are included.

Project description:To assess the relative contributions of the PKA and MAPK pathways in Ras stimulation of filamentation, we examined the change in transcriptional profile following activation of Ras in strains in which one of these two pathways has been severed. These arrays contain the experiments involving WT strain with glucose addition, Ras2G19V strain with galactose induction, tpk2-w strain as a control, and RasG19V activation in the tpk2-w background. Activation of Ras in the Σ1278b background – by galactose addition to a gal1 PGAL10-RAS2G19V strain - causes a massive restructuring of the transcription pattern of the cell, which closely resembles the changes induced by addition of glucose. To assess the extent to which these Ras-induced changes depended on signaling through PKA, we compared the expression profile following induction of activated Ras in a wild type background to that following induction of activated Ras in the bcy1 tpk1 tpk3 tpk2V218G. Keywords: time course RNA from strains grown as described was extracted using the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen, California, USA) with mechanical disruption. RNA labeling and hybridization to Agilent oligonucleotide microarrays were done according to manufacturer’s instructions (Agilent Technologies, California, USA). RNA and cRNA concentrations were measured with NanoDrop (NanoDrop Technologies, Delaware, USA). 250ng labeled cRNA was used for each hybridization. The zero minute time point samples were labeled with Cy3 and others with Cy5. At least two technical replicates of each hybridization were performed. Hybridized microarrays were scanned with Agilent Microarray Scanner G2505B and the images were prepared for data analysis with Feature Extraction Software version 7.5 (Agilent Technologies, California, USA). Data were filtered and analyzed using PUMAdb based on the Stanford Microarray Database package.

Project description:The experimental evolution of laboratory populations of microbes provides an opportunity to observe the evolutionary dynamics of adaptation in real time.Until very recently, however, such studies have been limited by our inability to systematically find mutations in evolved organisms.We overcome this limitation by using a variety of DNA microarray-based techniques to characterize genetic changes, including point mutations, structural changes, and insertion variation, that resulted from the experimental adaptation of 24 haploid and diploid cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to growth in glucose-, sulfate, or phosphate-limited chemostats for ~ 200 generations.We identified frequent genomic amplifications and rearrangements as well as novel retrotransposition events associated with adaptation.Global mutation detection in 10 clonal isolates identified 32 point mutations. On the basis of mutation frequencies, we infer that these mutations and the subsequent dynamics of adaptation are determined by the batch phase of growth prior to initiation of continuous phase in the chemostat.We relate these genotypic changes to phenotypic outcomes, namely global patterns of gene expression, and to increases in fitness by 5-50%. We found that the spectrum of available mutations in glucose or phosphate-limited environments combined with the batch phase population dynamics early in our experiments to allow several distinct genotypic and phenotypic evolutionary pathways in response to these nutrient limitations. By contrast, sulfate-limited populations were much more constrained in both genotypic and phenotypic outcomes.Thus, the reproducibility of evolution varies with specific selective pressures reflecting the constraints inherent in the system-level organization of metabolic processes in the cell.We were able to relate some of the observed adaptive mutations (e.g. transporter gene amplifications) to known features of the relevant metabolic pathways, but many of the mutations pointed to genes not previously associated with the relevant physiology. Thus, in addition to answering basic mechanistic questions about evolutionary mechanisms our work suggests that experimental evolution can also shed light on the function and regulation of individual metabolic pathways.

Project description:A major goal of biology is the construction of networks that predict complex system behavior. We combine multiple types of molecular data, including genotypic, expression, transcription factor binding site (TFBS), and protein-protein interaction (PPI) data previously generated from a number of yeast experiments in order to reconstruct causal gene networks. Networks based on different types of data are compared using metrics devised to assess the predictive power of a network. A network reconstructed by integrating genotypic, TFBS and PPI data is shown to be the most predictive. This network is used to predict causal regulators responsible for hot spots of gene expression activity in a segregating yeast population. The network is also shown to elucidate the mechanisms by which causal regulators give rise to larger-scale changes in gene expression activity. Predictions are prospectively validated to provide direct experimental evidence that predictive networks can be constructed by integrating multiple, appropriate data types. Keywords: allele replacement Allele replacement strains were created in two backgrounds: BY (BY4724 and BY4742), and RM11-1a, and compared to the parental type (BY4716 and RM11-1a).

Project description:Cell survival in changing environments requires appropriate regulation of gene expression, including post-transcriptional gene regulatory mechanisms. Based on reporter gene studies in glucose-starved yeast, it was proposed that translationally silenced eukaryotic mRNAs accumulate in P-bodies and can return to active translation. We present evidence contradicting the notion that this model is a widespread and general phenomenon. First, genome-wide measurements of mRNA abundance, translation, and ribosome occupancy following glucose withdrawal show that most mRNAs are lost from the cell coincident with their loss from polysomes. Second, only a very limited sub-population of translationally repressed transcripts, comprising fewer than 400 genes, can be reactivated for translation upon glucose re-addition in the absence of new transcription. This highly selective post-transcriptional regulation could be a mechanism for cells to minimize the energetic costs of reversing gene-regulatory decisions in rapidly changing environments by transiently preserving a pool of transcripts whose translation is rate-limiting for growth. Sigma 1278b yeast were grown to OD600=1.0-1.1 in YPD in baffled flasks at 30C with vigorous shaking. Cells were treated with thiolutin to a final concentration of 3ug/mL, harvested by centrifugation, and resuspended in pre-warmed YPA medium lacking glucose. Cells were returned to 30C for shaking for 10 minutes. For the refed samples, glucose was added to a final concentration of 2% and samples were taken after 5 minutes. Polysome preparation and RNA isolation were as described in Experimental Procedues. A common RNA sample, polysomal RNA from cells grown in YPD, was used for one channel of each array.

Project description:We developed and validated a small-footprint array of miniature chemostats built from readily available parts for low cost. Physiological and experimental evolution results were similar to larger volume chemostats. The ministat array provides a compact, inexpensive, and accessible platform for traditional chemostat experiments, functional genomics, and chemical screening applications. Three experiments are gene expression comparisons between three ministat cultures and a single Sixfors sample. The four CGH arrays are individual clones evolved in four sulfate limitation ministats compared to a wt ancestor strain.
