Project description:mRNA amount (RA) and Transcription rate (TR) analysis of W303-1a (wt) and hog1 mutant yeast strains growing in exponential phase in YPD subjected to osmotic stress This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE13096: Transcription rate analysis of wild type strain subjected to osmotic stress GSE13097: mRNA amount analysis of wild type strain subjected to osmotic stress GSE13098: Transcription rate analysis of W303 hog1 mutant strain subjected to osmotic stress GSE13099: mRNA amount analysis of W303 hog1 mutant strain subjected to osmotic stress Refer to individual Series Transcriptomic and transcription rate analysis by means of GRO of three independent replicates the yeast strain growing in exponential phase. Each time point replicate has been hybridized on a different macroarray (F11-F24). A single DNA genomic hybridization from the same labeling reaction was done on the same microarrays for normalization.

Project description:To better understand how yeast adapt and respond to sequential stressors, an industrial yeast strain, URM 6670 (also known as BT0510), which is highly flocculent, tolerant to ethanol, osmotic and heat shock stresses, was subjected to three different treatments: 1. osmotic stress followed by ethanol stress, 2. oxidative stress followed by ethanol stress, 3. glucose withdrawal followed by ethanol stress. Samples were collected before the first stress (control), after the first stress and after the second stress (ethanol). RNA was extracted and analyzed by RNAseq.
Project description:Fungal group III histidine kinases are the molecular targets of some classes of fungicides. In contrast to the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the fungal pathogen Candida albicans possesses a group III histidine kinase, CaNik1p, also called Cos1p. To investigate the function of CaNIK1, the gene was expressed in S. cerevisiae. The transformants became susceptible to antifungal compounds to which the wild-type strain is resistant. The susceptibility was related to the activation of the MAP kinase Hog1p of the osmotic stress response pathway. Gene expression analysis revealed a strong overlap of the responses to osmotic stress and to fludioxonil at early time points. While the response to fludioxonil persisted, the response to osmotic stress was diminished with time.
Project description:Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells have evolved remarkably sophisticated and flexible transcriptional regulatory networks (TRNs) that allow them to survive and thrive in stress conditions, such as high temperature, osmotic and oxidative conditions, etc. Furthermore, transcription factor plays a central role in transcriptional regulatory networks of stress response. To achieve a thorough understanding of master transcription factors and transcriptional regulatory networks in specific response to prolonged thermal stress, we sequenced mRNA from the cultures of the wild type strain ScY01a as well as four key transcription factor deletion strains including ScY01a (ric1∆), ScY01a (srb2∆), ScY01a (sin3∆) and ScY01a (mig1∆) grown at 40ºC in biological duplicates. Differences in gene expression comparing the transcription factor deletion strains with the wild type strain by RNA deep sequencing revealed a hierarchical transcriptional regulatory network required for long-term thermal stress tolerance of S. cerevisiae, which is centered on these four transcription factors.
Project description:Changes in RNA levels during osmotic stress were investigated. Total RNA was extracted from a wild-type yeast strain before and after treatment with 0.4 M NaCl and the corresponding cDNAs were hybridazed on Tiling arrays. In particular, for all the intron-containing genes, the changes in the levels of intron signal in stressed cells related to the intron signal in the non-stressed cells, and the changes in the levels of exon signal in stresses cells related to the exon signal in non-stressed cells were investigated. The supplementary bar file contains the ratios between stress signals respect to non-stress signals, using the average of the 3 biological replicas.
