Project description:Analysis of histone acetyl transferases (HATs) from the MYST and GNAT families in S. pombe to identify functional differences or overlap with regard to gene expression. Mutations were made to Elp3 and Gcn5 (GNAT family), and to Mst2 (MYST family). Mutants showed distinct phenotypes which were repressed or enhanced by mutant combinations. This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE17259: S. pombe acetyltransferase mutants identifies redundant pathways of gene regulation, dual-channel dataset GSE17262: S. pombe acetyltransferase mutants identifies redundant pathways of gene regulation, Affymetrix dataset Refer to individual Series
Project description:Analysis of splicing defects in Schizosaccharomyces pombe upon chemical genetic inhibition of splicing kinases dsk1, lkh1, and prp4, as well as alanine-mutation of phosphorylated residues in the splicing factors bpb1, prp2, rsd1, srp1, srp2, usp101, usp103, sum3, prp22, cdc5, and cwf22. This study shows the splicing kinase dsk1 modulates splicing efficiency of introns with non-consensus splice sites, likely through phosphorylation of bpb1. Modulation of splicing efficiency of transcripts through kinase signaling pathways may afford the necessary flexibility to tune the gene expression profile in response to environmental and developmental cues.
Project description:Puf3 is a RNA-binding protein, a member of the conserved Puf-protein family. Combining different functional genomics data, we have analyzed the role of Puf3 in post-transcriptional gene regulation in S. pombe. We present data on Puf3 interacting proteins and regulatory mRNA targets.
