Abstract

In order to keep subscribers up‐to‐date with the latest developments in their field, this current awareness service is provided by John Wiley & Sons and contains newly‐published material on yeasts. Each bibliography is divided into 10 sections. 1 Books, Reviews & Symposia; 2 General; 3 Biochemistry; 4 Biotechnology; 5 Cell Biology; 6 Gene Expression; 7 Genetics; 8 Physiology; 9 Medical Mycology; 10 Recombinant DNA Technology. Within each section, articles are listed in alphabetical order with respect to author. If, in the preceding period, no publications are located relevant to any one of these headings, that section will be omitted. (4 weeks journals ‐ search completed 10th. Nov. 2004)

Periodic gene expression program of the fission yeast cell cycle.

Gabriella Rustici, Juan Mata, Katja Kivinen … (2004)

Cell-cycle control of transcription seems to be universal, but little is known about its global conservation and biological significance. We report on the genome-wide transcriptional program of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe cell cycle, identifying 407 periodically expressed genes of which 136 show high-amplitude changes. These genes cluster in four major waves of expression. The forkhead protein Sep1p regulates mitotic genes in the first cluster, including Ace2p, which activates transcription in the second cluster during the M-G1 transition and cytokinesis. Other genes in the second cluster, which are required for G1-S progression, are regulated by the MBF complex independently of Sep1p and Ace2p. The third cluster coincides with S phase and a fourth cluster contains genes weakly regulated during G2 phase. Despite conserved cell-cycle transcription factors, differences in regulatory circuits between fission and budding yeasts are evident, revealing evolutionary plasticity of transcriptional control. Periodic transcription of most genes is not conserved between the two yeasts, except for a core set of approximately 40 genes that seem to be universally regulated during the eukaryotic cell cycle and may have key roles in cell-cycle progression.

Genomic run-on evaluates transcription rates for all yeast genes and identifies gene regulatory mechanisms.

Agustín Aranda, José de la Fuente, T. Fernandez Perez Tomei (2004)

Most studies of eukaryotic gene regulation have been done looking at mature mRNA levels. Nevertheless, the steady-state mRNA level is the result of two opposing factors: transcription rate (TR) and mRNA degradation. Both can be important points to regulate gene expression. Here we show a new method that combines the use of nylon macroarrays and in vivo radioactive labeling of nascent RNA to quantify TRs, mRNA levels, and mRNA stabilities for all the S. cerevisiae genes. We found that during the shift from glucose to galactose, most genes undergo drastic changes in TR and mRNA stability. However, changes in mRNA levels are less pronounced. Some genes, such as those encoding mitochondrial proteins, are coordinately regulated in mRNA stability behaving as decay regulons. These results indicate that, although TR is the main determinant of mRNA abundance in yeast, modulation of mRNA stability is a key factor for gene regulation.

Ectopic expression of URA3 can influence the virulence phenotypes and proteome of Candida albicans but can be overcome by targeted reintegration of URA3 at the RPS10 locus.

Alexandra Brand, Donna MacCallum, Alistair Brown … (2004)

Uridine auxotrophy, based on disruption of both URA3 alleles in diploid Candida albicans strain SC5314, has been widely used to select gene deletion mutants created in this fungus by "Ura-blasting" and PCR-mediated disruption. We compared wild-type URA3 expression with levels in mutant strains where URA3 was positioned either within deleted genes or at the highly expressed RPS10 locus. URA3 expression levels differed significantly and correlated with the specific activity of Ura3p, orotidine 5'-monophosphate decarboxylase. Reduced URA3 expression following integration at the GCN4 locus was associated with an attenuation of virulence. Furthermore, a comparison of the SC5314 (URA3) and CAI-4 (ura3) proteomes revealed that inactivation of URA3 caused significant changes in the levels of 14 other proteins. The protein levels of all except one were partially or fully restored by the reintegration of a single copy of URA3 at the RPS10 locus. Transcript levels of genes expressed ectopically at this locus in reconstituted heterozygous mutants also matched the levels found when the genes were expressed at their native loci. Therefore, phenotypic changes in C. albicans can be associated with the selectable marker rather than the target gene. Reintegration of URA3 at an appropriate expression locus such as RPS10 can offset most problems related to the phenotypic changes associated with gene knockout methodologies.
