Project description:Analysis of the genome-wide transcrptional effects caused by the deletion of the IWR1 gene by comparing the transcriptional profile of a iwr1 mutant strain with the isogenic wild type strain when cells were exponentially grown in YPD medium.
Project description:In this study, we used Saccharomyces cerevisiae to investigate the effects of GRX deletion on yeast chronological life span (CLS). Deletion of Grx1 or Grx2 shortened yeast CLS. Quantitative proteomics revealed that GRX deletion increased cellular ROS levels to activate Ras/PKA signal pathway. Our results provided new insights into mechanisms underlying aging process.
Project description:Analysis of the genome-wide transcrptional effects caused by the deletion of the IWR1 gene by comparing the transcriptional profile of a iwr1 mutant strain with the isogenic wild type strain when cells were exponentially grown in YPD medium. Three independent cultures for the wt and the iwr1 mutant were used for the whole genome transcription analysis and they were grown in YPD at the early exponential phase. Total RNA was isolated and cDNA synthesis and labeling, filter hybridization and quantification/normalization of hybridization signals were performed as described in Garcia-Martinez, J., Aranda, A. and Perez-Ortin, J.E. (2004) Mol Cell 15(2),303-313.
