Project description:Individualized outcome prediction classifiers were successfully constructed through expression profiling of 1918 genes connected with lipid metabolism in yeast strain overexpressed of fatty acid biosynthesis gene In the study presented here, expression profiles of wild type and ACC-overexpressed wild type yeast strain were well-clustered by profiles- and gene similarities. It was analyzed the gene expression profile of ACC-overexpressing as compared with those of wild type. The expression levels between wild type(WT) and ACC-overexpressed wild type(ACC) were compared individually three times.

Project description:Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been used as a secretion host for production of various products, including pharmaceuticals. However, few antibody molecules have been functionally expressed in S. cerevisiae due to the incompatible surface glycosylation. Our laboratory previously isolated a group of yeast mutant strains with different α-amylase secretory capacities, and these evolved strains have showed advantages for production of some heterologous proteins. However, it is not known whether these secretory strains are generally suitable for pharmaceutical protein production. Here, three non-glycosylated antibody fragments with different configurations (Ran-Fab fragment Ranibizumab, Pex-the scFv peptide Pexelizumab, and Nan-a single V-type domain) were successfully expressed and secreted in three background strains with different secretory capacities, including HA (wild type), MA (evolved strain), and LA (evolved strain). However, the secretion of Ran and Nan were positively correlated with the strains’ secretory capacity, while Pex was most efficiently secreted in the parental strain. Therefore, transcriptional analysis was performed to explore the fundamental changes triggered by the expression of the different pharmaceutical proteins in these selected yeast strains.
Project description:During fermentation Saccharomyces yeast produces various aroma-active metabolites determining the different characteristics of aroma and taste in fermented beverages. Amino acid utilization by yeast during brewer´s wort fermentation is seen as linked to flavour profile. To better understand the relationship between the biosynthesis of aroma relevant metabolites and the importance of amino acids, DNA microarrays were performed for Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain S81 and Saccharomyces pastorianus var. carlsbergensis strain S23, respectively. Thereby, changes in transcription of genes were measured, which are associated with amino acid assimilation and its derived aroma-active compounds during fermentation.
Project description:Effect of FLO8 or MSS11 deletion and -overexpression on yeast transcript profiles compared to wild type in laboratory yeast strains ?1278b and S288c. We used two laboratory yeast strains that behave different with regard to adhesion phenotypes. By comparing yeast deleted in either FLO8 or MSS11 to wild type, or yeast overexpressing these genes, in both genetic backgrounds, we investigate the role of Flo8p and Mss11p on yeast transcription. By using similar growth conditions to what we use for adhesion phenotype determination we aim to correlate transcription profile changes to yeast behaviour (phenotypes).
