Project description:We are investigating the transcriptional response of Anc1 deficient yeast under basal and MMS exposed conditions We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying the MMS response in WT and Anc1 deficient yeast Keywords: dose
Project description:We are investigating the transcriptional response of Anc1 deficient yeast under basal and MMS exposed conditions; We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying the MMS response in WT and Anc1 deficient yeast Experiment Overall Design: Yeast strains either WT or Anc1 deficient were exposed or unexposed to MMS
Project description:This project aims to identify novel RNA binding proteins in the baker's yeast , Saccharomyces cerevisiae, involved in the oxidative stress,. Since interactions between RNAs and proteins may be transient, yeast cells, either untreated and growth in rich media and exposed to 0.5 mM hydrogen peroxide for 15 minutes were crosslinked with UV light at 254 nm which promotes the covalent link between proteins and RNAs. After this, polyadenylated mRNAs were purified via oligo(dT) coupled to magentic beads under stringent conditions. Finally, samples were subjected to mass spectrometry analysis. To rule out the possibility of RNA-independent binding we also analysed other samples where we performed competition assays with polyadenylic acid
Project description:Wt S. cerevisiae cells from a W303 background were exposed to multiple doses of MMS and Gamma Radiation and their global transcriptional response was measured Keywords: dose response
Project description:Yap1 targets under normal and cobalt surplus growth conditions. Yeast strains (wild-type and yap1 mutant, BY4742 background) were grown until early log-phase and either untreated or exposed to 2mM of CoSO4 for 60 min. Changes in the transcriptome of yap1 mutant cells were then analyzed.
