Project description:Gene expression microarrays accompanying "Proteomic and genomic characterization of a yeast model for Ogden syndrome" by Doerfel et al 2016 in press at Yeast. Naa10 is a Na-terminal acetyltransferase that, in a complex with its auxiliary subunit Naa15, co-translationally acetylates the a-amino group of newly synthetized proteins as they emerge from the ribosome. Roughly 40-50% of the human proteome is acetylated by Naa10, rendering this an enzyme with one of the most broad substrate ranges known. Recently, we reported an X-linked disorder of infancy, Ogden syndrome, in two families harboring a c.109T>C (p.Ser37Pro) variant in NAA10. In the present study we performed in-depth characterization of a yeast model of Ogden syndrome. Stress tests and proteomic analyses suggest that the S37P mutation disrupts Naa10 function and reduces cellular fitness during heat shock, possibly due to dysregulation of chaperone expression and accumulation. Microarray and RNA-seq revealed a pseudo-diploid gene expression profile in DNaa10 cells, likely responsible for a mating defect. In conclusion, the data presented here further support the disruptive nature of the S37P/Ogden mutation and identify affected cellular processes potentially contributing to the severe phenotype seen in Ogden syndrome.
Project description:New1 is not an essential gene but its deletion shows a cold-sensitive phenotype in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In this study, we compare the NEW1 knockout effect on translation using Ribo-Seq and RNA-Seq analyses.
Project description:Ribosome profiling (Ribo-Seq) and RNA-Seq analysis of eEF3 depletion in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). eEF3 depletion was induced by methionine in a modified strain where the native promoter was replaced by methionine repressible MET25 promoter. Conditional depletion enables us to study global effects of an essential gene.
Project description:Loss of New1 leads to a cold-sensitive phenotype of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In this study we investigated the effect of NEW1 knockout on translation using Ribo-Seq and RNA-Seq analyses.
