Project description:Ribosome profiling was used to investigate how Schizosaccharomcyes pombe cells modulate gene expression in response to hydrogen peroxide
Project description:Fission yeast CSL mutants (cbf11 and cbf12 knock-outs) show altered sensitivity to hydrogen peroxide. To help elucidate the molecular basis of this phenomenon, we analyzed wild-type and mutant transcriptomes before stress and as a timecourse after treatment with hydrogen peroxide. Cells were grown to exponential phase in YES medium, untreated samples were collected (time 0), cells were treated with 0.74 mM hydrogen peroxide and harvested after 15 and 60 min post treatment. Total RNA was isolated, labelled and hybridized to custom-made two-colour microarrays. Each sample was hybridized against reference created by pooling equal aliquots from all 9 samples.
Project description:Oxidative stress caused by Menadione or Hydrogen peroxide in synchronized Saccharomyces cerevisiae cultures. Alpha factor synchronized cultures (0.2-0.4 OD), treated at the beginning of S phase (25 min after release from G1 arrest) with either 2 mM Menadione (MD) or 0.24 mM Hydrogen peroxide (HP), show cell cycle effects. Cells treated with MD arrested at G1. Cells treated with HP delayed at S and then, after removal of HP at 135 minutes , continued the cell cycle, only to arrest at G2/M. Growth was carried out in 30C with shaking (295 rpm). Two time course experiments were performed with each oxidative stress agent, designated as H2O2 and H2O2_II, MD and MD_II. Keywords = oxidative stress Keywords = menadione Keywords = hydrogen peroxide Keywords = time course Keywords = cell cycle Keywords = yeast Keywords: other
Project description:Yeast cells response during recovery after hydrogen peroxide stress. Comparison of yeast cells treated with 1.5mM hydrogen peroxide for 30 min with cells allowed to recover for 60 min
Project description:Reactive oxygen species such as hydrogen peroxide occur in all aerobically living organisms. Oxidative stress during fermentation can impair the fitness of the production host and the quality of the product. B. pumilus has been described as highly resistant to hydrogen peroxide. The response of exponentially growing B. pumilus cells to hydrogen peroxide was studied.

Project description:Adaptation to hydrogen peroxide in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is profiled with expression arrays. Adaptation describes the process in which a mild dose of toxin (in this case, hydrogen peroxide) is able to protect against a later acute dose. Here, we study two adaptive protocols (0.1 mM H2O2 and 0.1 + 0.4 mM H2O2) and one acute protocol (0.4 mM H2O2) to identify processes uniquely involved in adaptation. Predictions from these studies are validated in expression profiling of deletion mutants of the transcription factors Yap1, Mga2, and Rox1.

Project description:To gain insight into the basic mechanism of Hydrogen peroxide detoxification in the methylotrophic yeast, H. polymorpha, we analyzed changes in transcriptional profiles in response to hydrogen peroxide exposure.
