ABSTRACT: Expression analysis of Candida glabrata CBS138 delta-cnb1, delta-crz1, delta-slt2, and delta-ire1 mutants in response to tunicamycin exposure (Transcriptional response of Candida glabrata to tunicamycin exposure)
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in response to tunicamycin, an inhibitor of protein N-glycosylation, in Candida glabrata CBS138 delta-cnb1, delta-crz1, delta-slt2, and delta-ire1 mutants, compared to the wild-type strain. The mutations engineered into these strains render them hypersusceptible to tunicamycin. The mutants analyzed in this study are further described in Miyazaki, T. et al. (2010) Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 54(4):1639-1643 (PMID: 20100876) and Miyazaki, T. et al. (2010) FEMS Yeast Res 10(3):343-352, 2010 (PMID: 20214686). A fifteen chip study using total RNA isolated from Candida glabrata wild-type control and four mutant strains, in which the entire ORFs of CNB1 (XP_448800), CRZ1 (XP_449644), SLT2 (XP_447735), or IRE1 (XP_446111) are deleted. Each chip measures the expression level of 5,217 genes from Candida glabrata CBS138 with six 60-mer-probe pairs per gene, with two-fold technical redundancy.

Project description:Candida glabrata lab strain BG2 was used as parent to obtain some aneuploids by exposure to tunicamycin. Transcriptomes of 9 aneuploids bearing different chromosome change were compared to parent BG2
Project description:Candida glabrata strain BG2 was exposed to ER stress inducer tunicamycin (8μg/ml). One adaptor (TJ255) was petite. Transcriptomes of TJ255 and BG2 were compared.
Project description:To examine the role of a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked aspartyl protease, CgYps1, in the regulation of pH homeostasis in Candida glabrata, transcriptional profiling analysis was carried out on wild-type and Cgyps1∆ cells grown in YNB medium (pH 5.5) and in YNB medium adjusted to pH 2.0. Genes involved in carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism, protein folding and stress response pathways were found to be differentially regulated in response to acidic environment in both the strains.

Project description:Candida glabrata is a human-associated opportunistic fungal pathogen. It shares its niche with Lactobacillus spp. in the gastrointestinal and vaginal tract. In fact, Lactobacillus species are thought to competitively prevent Candida overgrowth. We investigated the molecular aspects of this antifungal effect by analyzing the interaction of C. glabrata strains with Limosilactobacillus fermentum. From a collection of clinical C. glabrata isolates, we identified strains with different sensitivities to L. fermentum in coculture. We analyzed the variation of their expression pattern to isolate the specific response to L. fermentum. C. glabrata-L. fermentum coculture induced genes associated with ergosterol biosynthesis, weak acid stress, and drug/chemical stress. L. fermentum coculture depleted C. glabrata ergosterol. The reduction of ergosterol was dependent on the Lactobacillus species, even in coculture with different Candida species. We found a similar ergosterol-depleting effect with other lactobacillus strains (Lactobacillus crispatus and Lactobacillus rhamosus) on Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, and Candida krusei. The addition of ergosterol improved C. glabrata growth in the coculture. Blocking ergosterol synthesis with fluconazole increased the susceptibility against L. fermentum, which was again mitigated by the addition of ergosterol. In accordance, a C. glabrata Derg11 mutant, defective in ergosterol biosynthesis, was highly sensitive to L. fermentum. In conclusion, our analysis indicates an unexpected direct function of ergosterol for C. glabrata proliferation in coculture with L. fermentum.
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in Candida glabrata CBS138 delta-vph2 mutant, compared to the wild-type strain in SC broth (pH5.0 and pH7.4). VPH2 gene encodes a protein that is the assembly factor of a functional V-ATPase. Loss of Vph2p leads to loss of a functional V-ATPase enzyme complex.
