Project description:The Upf1, Upf2 and Upf3 proteins cooperate to implement nonsense-mediated decay. We used DNA microarrays for profiling RNA expression levels of upf2 and upf3 mutants
Project description:The Upf1 protein is a major factor in nonsense-mediated decay. We used an in vivo labelling system (Cleary et al. 2005 Nat Biotechnol. 23, 232-7) to estimate the decay rates of upf1delta and wild type cells over-expressing the transcription factor Mei4.
Project description:To study the contribution of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) to the regulation of RNA turnover, we used DNA microarrays to examine the transcriptome of S. pombe strains containing deletions in non-essential genes encoding RBPs
Project description:To investigate the contribution of RNA-binding proteins to the regulation of RNA decay we used an in vivo labelling system (Cleary et al. 2005 Nat Biotechnol. 23, 232-7) to estimate the decay rates of RBP mutants and wild type S. pombe cells
Project description:The Upf1 RNA-binding protein is essential for nonsense-mediated decay (NMD). We compared wild type (ura4-D18 leu1-32 h-) and upfdelta (upf1delta::kanMX6 ura4-D18 leu1-32 h-) cells transcriptome under normal growth conditions
Project description:The Meu5 RNA-binding protein stabilises its targets during meiosis. We compared wild type and meu5delta cells transcriptome under different conditions: pat1-induced meiosis in diploid cells, wild type meiosis in diploid cells and cells overexpressing the Mei4 transcription factor.
Project description:The Meu5 RNA-binding protein stabilises its targets during meiosis. To investigate the function of Meu5 we induced synchronous meiosis in wild type or meu5delta cells (using pat1 thermo-sensitive mutations), and measured mRNA levels at regular intervals.
