All yeast strains were in the genetic background W303-1A (MATa leu2-3,112 trp1-1 ura3-1 can1-100 ade2-1 his3-11,15). Gene expression profiles of the following mutant strains were compared with WT: YIA29 (mdl1::HIS3); YIA30 (yme1::KAN); YIA31 (mdl1::HIS3 yme1::KAN); 2 independent RNA preparations per...
In the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila, lysosome-related organelles called mucocysts accumulate at the cell periphery where they secrete their contents in response to extracellular events, a phenomenon termed regulated exocytosis. A forward genetic approach uncovered MDL1 (Mucocyst Discharge with a ...
We performed RNA-Seq analysis and compared three groups 1) WT+IL-23 v. WT+GFP (control), 2) Mdl1-/-+IL-23 v. WT+GFP (control), and 3) WT+IL-23 v. Mdl1-/-+IL-23. Sets of differentially expressed genes (DEG) were defined on the basis of standard thresholds i.e. a |log2FC|≥2 combined with an adjusted p...
Expression of mitochondrial long non-coding RNAs, MDL1 and MDL1AS, are good prognostic biomarkers for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) and MDL1AS is a diagnostic biomarker for LARC and other cancers
