Project description:A tet-off strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was constructed in which the GLN4 glutamine tRNA synthetase gene was placed under control of a doxycycline-regulated promoter. The transcriptional responses to Gln4p tRNA synthetase depletion were assessed by growth of the strain in the presence, or absence, of doxycycline (1 µg/ml). A control, wild-type strain was similarly treated with doxycycline or left untreated as a reference. Each strain/condition RNA isolation was performed using triplicate independent biological samples A, B and C.
Project description:To understand the extent that Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) regulated its target proteins at the transcription level, transcriptomic change was profiled in yeast cells upon Hsp90 compromising. We genetically modified the R1158 strain (resulting genotype of mutant strain: TETp-HSC82 hsp82Δ arg4Δ lys5Δ car2Δ::URA3) and then reduced the Hsp90 amount with doxycycline treatment. Fold change of mRNA from untreated to treated cells indicated the transcriptomic change. Totally, we identified 1104 genes mis-regulated with a fold change of no less than 1.5 (P <0.05) upon Hsp90 compromising.
Project description:Proteomic analysis of the extracellular matrix of Saccharomyces cerevisiae W303-1A Wt and the isogenic mutant strain gup1Δ during the development of multicellular overlays.
Project description:This study explores the connection between changes in gene expression and the genes that determine strain survival during suspension culture, using the model eukaryotic organism, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae homozygous diploid deletion pool, and the BY4743 parental strain were grown for 18 hours in a rotating wall vessel, a suspension culture device optimized to minimize the delivered shear. In addition to the reduced shear conditions, the rotating wall vessels were also placed in a static position or in a shaker in order to change the amount of shear stress on the cells. Keywords: shear stress, time course
Project description:A caffeine-resistant Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutant strain was obtained using an evolutionary engineering strategy based on successive batch cultivation at gradually increasing caffeine levels. The mutant strain Caf905-2 was selected at a caffeine concentration where its reference strain could not grow at all. Whole-genome transcriptomic analysis of Caf905-2 was performed with respect to its reference strain.
Project description:We report change in the chromatin contacts upon deletion of ATP-dependent chromatin remodellers (ISW1, ISW2 and CHD1) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Project description:We report change in the nucleosome occupancy and accessibility upon deletion of ATP-dependent chromatin remodellers (ISW1, ISW2 & CHD1) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Project description:We report change in the chromatin contacts at nucleosomal resolution upon deletion of ATP-dependent chromatin remodellers(Isw1,Isw2 and Chd1) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Project description:A Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutant with extended chronological life span was obtained by using an evolutionary engineering strategy, based on successive batch cultivation under gradually enhanced caloric restriction. The mutant strain SRM11 was selected which had about 50% longer life span than the reference strain. Whole-genome transcriptomic analysis of SRM11 with respect to the reference strain was performed to identify differences in gene expression levels between the two strains.
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in three S. cerevisiae Y55 mutants, compared to the wild-type strain. The UV-induced mutations enable the mutant strains to ferment high-gravity maltose faster than the WT. The mutants analyzed in this study are further described in Baerends, R.J.S., J.L. Qiu, L. Gautier, and A. Brandt. A high-throughput system for screening of fast-fermenting Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains. Manuscript in preparation. A single-dye 12-plex array chip study using double-stranded DNA prepared from messenger RNA purified from total RNA recovered from three separate Saccharomyces cerevisiae Y55 wild-type cultures and 3x three separate cultures each corresponding to a fast-fermenting UV-induced mutant (mutant 1, 2 and 3), during fermentation of high-gravity maltose at day 2. Each array on the 12-plex chip measures the expression level of 5,777 genes from Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C with eight 60-mer probes per gene, with three-fold technical redundancy.
