Transcriptional profile of the industrial hybrid Saccharomyces pastorianus reveals temperature-dependent allele expression bias and preferential orthologous protein assemblies

ABSTRACT: Saccharomyces pastorianus is a natural yeast evolved from different hybridisation events between the mesophilic S. cerevisiae and the cold-tolerant S. eubayanus. This complex aneuploid hybrid carries multiple copies of the parental alleles alongside specific hybrid genes and encodes for multiple protein isoforms which impart novel phenotypes, such as the strong ability to ferment at low temperature. These characteristics lead to agonistic competition for substrates and a plethora of biochemical activities, resulting in a unique cellular metabolism. Here, we investigated the transcriptional signature of the different orthologous alleles in S. pastorianus during temperature shifts.
