Human-Yeast Hybrids: New Visions to Genetic Disorders and Drug Discovery

Yeast has been a very helpful organism for centuries, especially with respect to fermentation of sugars and production of bread. However, for an even longer time, yeast has been a distant relative of humans having diverged from a common ancestor, about one billion years ago. More than one third of the yeast genes have human counterparts, despite this evolutionary distance. Yeast and human ortho...

Chaperone functional specificity promotes yeast prion diversity

While prions are protein-based infectious agents, yeast prions are protein-based genetic elements of the baker’s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae [1]. Most yeast prions are amyloid protein aggregates that spread during mitosis through the cytosolic transmission of small, self-templating pieces called propagons. Propagons continue to recruit free protein monomers, perpetuating the prion phenotype ...

Molecular Investigation of Diversity Normal Yeast Flora in Cow Raw Milk Industrial Farms of Tehran Province and Alborz

Background and Objective: Milk is a completely rich and complex environment suitable for different microorganisms including bacteria and Fungi. The majority of studies were conducted on milk-bacterial flora and aflatoxin-contaminations in dairy products; however, despite the importance of yeasts in usage as starter in the dairy industries and their effect on the taste of dairy products as well ...
