Network Hubs Buffer Environmental Variation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Regulatory and developmental systems produce phenotypes that are robust to environmental and genetic variation. A gene product that normally contributes to this robustness is termed a phenotypic capacitor. When a phenotypic capacitor fails, for example when challenged by a harsh environment or mutation, the system becomes less robust and thus produces greater phenotypic variation. A functional ...
متن کاملLocal Regulatory Variation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Naturally occurring sequence variation that affects gene expression is an important source of phenotypic differences among individuals within a species. We and others have previously shown that such regulatory variation can occur both at the same locus as the gene whose expression it affects (local regulatory variation) and elsewhere in the genome at trans-acting factors. Here we present a deta...
متن کاملGenetic Variation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: Circuit Diversification in a Signal Transduction Network
The connection between genotype and phenotype was assessed by determining the adhesion phenotype for the same mutation in two closely related yeast strains, S288c and Sigma, using two identical deletion libraries. Previous studies, all in Sigma, had shown that the adhesion phenotype was controlled by the filamentation mitogen-activated kinase (fMAPK) pathway, which activates a set of transcript...
متن کاملEvidence of Highly Regulated Genes (in-Hubs) in Gene Networks of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae
Uncovering interactions between genes, gene networks, is important to increase our understanding of intrinsic cellular processes and responses to external stimuli such as drugs. Gene networks can be computationally inferred from repeated measurements of gene expression, using algorithms, which assume that each gene is controlled by only a small number of other proteins. Here, by extending the t...
متن کاملGenetic and environmental factors influencing glutathione homeostasis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Glutathione is an essential metabolite protecting cells against oxidative stress and aging. Here, we show that endogenously synthesized glutathione undergoes intercellular cycling during growth to stationary phase. Genome-wide screening identified approximately 270 yeast deletion mutants that overexcrete glutathione, predominantly in the reduced form, and identified a surprising set of function...
