The budding index of Saccharomyces cerevisiae deletion strains identifies genes important for cell cycle progression.

چکیده
Budding marks initiation of cell division in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Consequently, cell cycle progression can be monitored by the fraction of budded cells (budding index) in a proliferating cell population. We determined the budding index of a large collection of deletion strains, to systematically identify genes involved in cell cycle progression.

Genetic networks inducing invasive growth in Saccharomyces cerevisiae identified through systematic genome-wide overexpression.
The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae can respond to nutritional and environmental stress by implementing a morphogenetic program wherein cells elongate and interconnect, forming pseudohyphal filaments. This growth transition has been studied extensively as a model signaling system with similarity to processes of hyphal development that are linked with virulence in related fungal pathogens...
متن کاملInitiation of Ageing Process by Meiotic and Mitotic Recombination within the Ribosomal DNA Genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
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...
متن کاملChecking cell size in budding yeast: a systems biology approach.
The regulation of cell cycle progression via the attainment of a critical cell size is a conserved feature from simpler unicellular organisms to mammalian cells that is obtaining much attention recently. Genome wide analysis of Saccharomyces cerevisiae deletion strains, genetic epistasis, DNA microarray analysis have recently revealed an increasingly complex network of cell size modulation mech...
متن کاملHistone H3 and H4 gene deletions in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
The genome of haploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae contains two nonallelic sets of histone H3 and H4 genes. Strains with deletions of each of these loci were constructed by gene replacement techniques. Mutants containing deletions of either gene set were viable, however meiotic segregants lacking both histone H3 and H4 gene loci were inviable. In haploid cells no phenotypic expression of the histon...
متن کاملGenetic Determinants of Cell Size at Birth and Their Impact on Cell Cycle Progression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
In most cases, cells must increase their size before they can divide. Hence, a small size has been used often as a phenotype for mutants that accelerate initiation of division, such as the celebrated WHI mutants of budding yeast. Recently, we measured the DNA content of all nonessential gene deletion strains in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Surprisingly, there was little, if any, correlation betwee...
