Evidence of Highly Regulated Genes (in-Hubs) in Gene Networks of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae

چکیده
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 transcription network with cofactors (defined from protein-protein binding data) as active regulators, we identified the effective gene network, providing evidence of in-hubs in the gene regulatory networks of yeast. Then, using the notion that in-hub genes will be differentially expressed over several experimental conditions, we designed an algorithm, the HubDetector, enabling identification of in-hubs directly from gene expression data. Applying the HubDetector to 488 genome-wide expression profiles from two independent datasets, we identified putative in-hubs overlapping significantly with in-hubs in the effective gene network.

In the budding yeast of Saccharomyces cerevisiae the tandem repeated of rDNA genes are located onchromosome XII, which is in the nucleolus. There are different types of proteins in the nucleoluskeleton,silencing proteins have got important role in nucleolus.It is shown that meiotic recombination between nonsister chromatids in the rDNA genes are stronglysuppressed, and s...

The genome of HB V virus of serotype ayw cloned in pBR322 and expression shuttle vector p YES2 were used for construction of the HBsAg chimeric genes and their expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Two recombinant plasmids were constructed. One of them contained the coding sequences for the major polypeptide of surface antigen. Another construct carried the major polypeptide with the pre-S2 a...

متن کاملIsolation, Subtype Determination, Cloning and Expression of HBsAg Gene from an Iranian Carrier in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
The Hepatitis B Surface antigen ( HBsAg) gene was isolated from an Iranian HBeAg positive carrier by PCR. The gene was cloned in pUC19 for sequencing and pYES2 for expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which pNF1 and pDF3 constructs were made respectively. The sequencing data showed that the isolated HBsAg gene shared more than 90% homology with the ayw subtype. The pDF3 was transferred into ...
