Exploring the Yeast Acetylome Using Functional Genomics
Lysine acetylation is a dynamic posttranslational modification with a well-defined role in regulating histones. The impact of acetylation on other cellular functions remains relatively uncharacterized. We explored the budding yeast acetylome with a functional genomics approach, assessing the effects of gene overexpression in the absence of lysine deacetylases (KDACs). We generated a network of ...
متن کاملBrighter reporter genes from multimerized fluorescent proteins.
814 BioTechniques Vol. 39, No. 6 (2005) The discovery and development of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) has opened up new areas of biological research, particularly for the visualization of protein dynamics and gene expression in living cells and organisms (1,2). The development of wavelengthshifted variants of GFP has further expanded the impact on biological research. One of the fluoresc...
متن کاملGenomics and gene transcription kinetics in yeast.
As an adaptive response to new conditions, mRNA concentrations in eukaryotes are readjusted after any environmental change. Although mRNA concentrations can be modified by altering synthesis and/or degradation rates, the rapidity of the transition to a new concentration depends on the regulation of mRNA stability. There are several plausible transcriptional strategies following environmental ch...
متن کاملFunctional dissection of IME1 transcription using quantitative promoter-reporter screening.
Transcriptional regulation is a key mechanism that controls the fate and response of cells to diverse signals. Therefore, the identification of the DNA-binding proteins, which mediate these signals, is a crucial step in elucidating how cell fate is regulated. In this report, we applied both bioinformatics and functional genomic approaches to scrutinize the unusually large promoter of the IME1 g...
متن کاملFluorescent Reporter Genes and the Analysis of Bacterial Regulatory Networks
The understanding of the regulatory networks controlling the adaptation of bacteria to changes in their environment is critically dependent on the ability to monitor the dynamics of gene expression. Here, we review the use of fluorescent reporter genes for dynamically quantifying promoter activity and other quantities characterizing gene expression. We discuss critical physical and biological p...
