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.
Project description:We cultured the cells of S. pmbe in EMM2, and harvested them in the OD600 of 0.5 and 10 respectively. We used microarrays to detail the the global program of gene expression of SP-Q01 and SP-Q01 carrying vevtor pESP3X to overexpress either ribosomal protein L32 paralog in the OD600 of 0.5 and 10 respectively. We constructed the ribosomal protein L32 paralog overexpression strains to mimic the expression pattern of RPL32 paralogs in wild-type cells of S.pombe. We cultured the cells to different growth phase, and used microarray to identify the genes were regulated distinctively by RPL32 paralogs.
Project description:Opi10 is the S. pombe homolog of human Hikeshi, which imports Hsp70s into the nucei during the heat shock. We compared the gene expression of the S. pombe opi10+ and opi10- strains before, during and after the heat shock.
