Distilled spirits production using S. cerevisiae requires understanding the mechanisms of yeast cell response to the alcohol stress. Reportedly, specific mutations in genes of the ubiquitin-proteasome system, e.g. RPN4, may result in strains exhibiting either hyper-resistance or increased sensitivit...
Misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) activate the unfolded protein response (UPR), which enhances protein folding to restore homeostasis. Additional pathways respond to ER stress, but how they help counteract protein misfolding is incompletely understood. Here, we develop a titratabl...
The goals of this study are to compare C. glabrata transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) upon exposure to the antifungal fluconazole in order to assess antifungal response. The role of the transcription factor Rpn4 is clarified through comparison of the transcrptome profiles of WT and Rpn4 mutant cells....
