Project description:WT or tps1- yeast grown in galactose were subjected to addition of glucose/fructose; cells were collected for RNA extraction and sequencing to assess the gene expression responses between these treatments
Project description:To investigate the glucose regulatory system in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we conducted a time-course in which glucose-depleted wildtype (WT) cells were inoculated into fresh media (SC, 2% glucose). Their subsequent transcriptional output was monitored over a period of five hours by DNA microarrays: samples for gene expression profiling were taken immediately after, as well as 3, 7.5, 15, 30, 60, 110, 150, and 300 minutes after inoculation into fresh medium. Transcripts upregulated are involved in translational processes such as the GO biological processes “ribosome biogenesis” and “ribosome localization”. Transcripts downregulated are enriched for the GO biological processes “cellular respiration” and various metabolism related processes. The time-course was used to verify the physiological relevance of gene expression profiles determined for individual deletions of glucose regulatory system components. Importantly, transcripts up- or downregulated in WT cells upon the addition of glucose are similarly up- or downregulated in deletion mutants that each lack a component of the glucose regulatory system.
Project description:Microarrays experiment was performed to detail the global programme of gene expression in liver of WT male mice in response to fasting (for 24h) or challenged with high glucose or high fructose compared to mice fed ad libitum.
Project description:Extensive transcriptional heterogeneity revealed by isoform profiling Application of TIF-Seq (Transcript IsoForm Sequencing) to S.cerevisiae. The method was applied to simultaneously identify the 5' capped mRNA transcription start site and the 3' polyadenylation site in different conditions: WT cells grown in glucose media [ypd, 2 biological replicates (bio) and 3 independent library preparations, technical replicates(lib)], WT cells grown in galactose media [ypgal, 4 biological replicates (bio) and 3 independent library preparations, technical replicates(lib)]. A modified protocol designed to enrich in long mRNA molecules was performed for WT cells grown in glucose media [ypd, 2 biological replicates (bio)] and in galactose media [ypgal, 2 biological replicates (bio)] conditions. Finally, control samples performed with a modified protocol designed to identify non-capped but polyadenylated molecules was performed in WT cells grown both in glucose (nypd) and galactose (nypgal) media.
