Single yeast cell nanomotions correlate with cellular activity

Giovanni Dietler, Sandor Kasas, María Inés Villalba, Anton Malovichko

Living single yeast cells show a specific cellular motion at the nanometer scale with a magnitude that is proportional to the cellular activity of the cell. We characterized this cellular nanomotion pattern of nonattached single yeast cells using classical ...

Adaptive damage retention mechanism enables healthier yeast population

Riccardo Dainese

During cytokinesis in budding yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) damaged proteins are distributed asymmetrically between the daughter and the mother cell. Retention of damaged proteins is a crucial mechanism ensuring a healthy daughter cell with full replica ...

Modulation of the endogenous production of protoporphyrin IX in a yeast - based model organism

Georges Wagnières, Emmanuel Louis Arthur Gerelli, Jaroslava Joniová

The main aim of this study was to assess conditions at which simple yeast-based model organism produces maximal levels of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) after an exogenous administration of its precursor, 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), and the ferrous-ion chelator ...

Castles fall from inside: Evidence for dominant internal photo-catalytic mechanisms during treatment of Saccharomyces cerevisiae by photo-Fenton at near-neutral pH

César Pulgarin, Cristina del Socorro Lonfat, Sami Rtimi, Stefanos Giannakis

In this work, the antimicrobial effects of the photo-Fenton process on yeast cells were tested (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), an essential eukaryotic unicellular model of living cells. Near-neutral pH was used in all studies, while iron sulfate and iron citra ...

Optimization and characterization of the endogenous production of protoporphyrin IX in a yeast model

Georges Wagnières, Matthieu Philippe Emmanuel Zellweger, Emmanuel Louis Arthur Gerelli, Jaroslava Joniová

The availability of reproducible, convenient, and inexpensive model organisms able to generate predictable levels of endogenous porphyrins, including protoporphyrin IX (PpIX), is essential in photomedicine research. Saccharomyces cerevisiae produces endoge ...

An automated microreactor for semi-continuous biosensor measurements

Philippe Renaud, Harald Van Lintel, Jan Roelof van der Meer, Nina Buffi

Living bacteria or yeast cells are frequently used as bioreporters for the detection of specific chemical analytes or conditions of sample toxicity. In particular, bacteria or yeast equipped with synthetic gene circuitry that allows the production of a rel ...

Expression in Yeast Links Field Polymorphisms in PfATP6 to in Vitro Artemisinin Resistance and Identifies New Inhibitor Classes

Serena Pulcini

Background. The mechanism of action of artemisinins against malaria is unclear, despite their widespread use in combination therapies and the emergence of resistance. Results. Here, we report expression of PfATP6 (a SERCA pump) in yeast and demonstrate its ...

A Novel Yeast-Based Platform for Small Molecule Target Deconvolution Reveals Previously Unknown Binding Partners for the Approved Drugs Erlotinib, Atorvastatin, and Sulfasalazine

Christopher Chidley

The identification of all protein targets of a small molecule drug, i.e. target deconvolution, provides the basis for understanding its beneficial or deleterious actions. Target deconvolution remains a major and often problematic task within the biotechnol ...

Fuel bioethanol production from whey permeate

François-Nicolas de Glutz

The objective of this thesis was to evaluate the feasibility for the production of fuel bioethanol from whey permeate. The identification of the limiting factors of the process revealed that the stabilization of the substrate was critical to the use of whe ...

Functional differentiation of tbf1 orthologues in fission and budding yeasts

Viesturs Simanis, Elena Cano

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, TBF1, an essential gene, influences telomere function but also has other roles in the global regulation of transcription. We have identified a new member of the tbf1 gene family in the mammalian pathogen Pneumocystis carinii. W ...

Cytokinesis: Closure resets your SIN

Viesturs Simanis, Andrea Krapp, Evelyn Lattmann

A new study of fission yeast cell division has revealed a coupling between cytoplasmic partitioning and the turning-off of cytokinesis signalling that may be mediated by asymmetric protein distribution. ...

Plants, MEN and SIN

Viesturs Simanis

In fission yeast, the onset of septation is signalled through the septum initiation network (SIN) signaling pathway. Similarly, in budding yeast the onset of budding is signalled through the mitotic exit network (MEN) pathway. We previously characterized i ...

Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ebs1p is a putative ortholog of human Smg7 and promotes nonsense mediated mRNA decay

Joachim Lingner

The Smg proteins Smg5, Smg6 and Smg7 are involved in nonsense-mediated RNA decay (NMD) in metazoans, but no orthologs have been found in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Sequence alignments reveal that yeast Ebs1p is similar in structure to the ...

Spatial and seasonal patterns of cattle habitat use in a mountain wooded pasture

Alexandre Buttler, François Gillet, Jean-Michel Gobat

Management-oriented models of cattle habitat use often treat grazing pressure as a single variable summarizing all cattle activities. This paper addresses the following questions: How does the spatial pattern of cattle effects vary between cattle activitie ...

AtSGP1, AtSGP2 and MAP4K alpha are nucleolar plant proteins that can complement fission yeast mutants lacking a functional SIN pathway

Viesturs Simanis, Andrea Krapp

In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the onset of septum formation is signalled via the septation initiation network (SIN) involving several protein kinases and a GTPase. Arabidopsis thaliana and Brassica napus proteins homologous to fission yea ...
