Transcriptome analysis of budding yeast strains manipulated in RPL22A and RPL22B genes

ABSTRACT: Most Saccharomyces cerevisiae ribosomal protein genes (RPGs) are present as two paralogous copies that emerged during a whole genome duplication. The preservation of two copies of the same gene during the past ~100 million years enabled diversification of the regulation of their expression, and also partially of their functional properties. One example of such paralogous genes are RPL22A and RPL22B that are asymmetrically expressed and their protein sequences represent one of the most divergent pairs among budding yeast RPG paralogs. It was shown that introns in the RPL22A and RPL22B genes are important for regulation of their expression levels. To investigate functional differences between RPL22A and RPL22B we performed RNA-seq analysis of strains with complete deletions of either RPL22A or RPL22B, and also of strains with intron deletions in the RPL22 genes, in comparison with a wild-type strain. Cells were grown to mid-exponential phase in the rich YPAD medium. Total RNA was isolated by combining phenol-chlorophorm extraction with MasterPure Yeast RNA Purification Kit (Epicentre). Ribodepletion, library preparation and sequencing were performed by BGI Genomics.
