CRISPR/Cas9 Genome Engineering in Non‐Conventional Oleaginous Yeasts: Applications, Challenges, and Prospects

Yeast, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Given the biotechnological potential of yeast‐derived oils for oleochemical production, genes encoding lipid metabolism enzymes are key targets for metabolic engineering. Genetic engineering tools such as Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9, Transcription Activator‐Like Effector Nucleases (TALENs), Zinc ...

Melatonin-protein interactions are dependent on yeast carbon metabolism

Scientific Reports
Melatonin is an indole amine that is synthesized and interacts with glycolytic proteins during alcoholic fermentation in Saccharomyces and non-Saccharomyces yeasts depending on their yeast fermentative capacity.

Crystal structures of Fsc1, a novel autophagy factor that mediates autophagosome–vacuole fusion in fission yeast

Acta Crystallographica Section D, EarlyView.
Crystal structures of the autophagy protein Fsc1 reveal conserved fasciclin features and a stable dimer interface that illuminate its possible role as a scaffold in autophagosome–vacuole membrane fusion.Fsc1 is a recently identified autophagy factor in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe that is implicated in the autophagosome–vacuole fusion ...

DsiRNA‐mediated silencing of Ceratitis capitata transformer or transformer‐2 leads to masculinization of XX embryos and systemic gene silencing in ovaries

Insect Science, EarlyView.
We carried out functional studies using Dicer‐substrate small interfering RNAs (DsiRNAs), targeting the sex determination genes Cctransformer (Cctra) and Cctransformer‐2 (Cctra‐2) in the Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata). Microinjection of DsiRNAs into XX embryos (0‐1 h old) rapidly triggered the expression of male‐specific Cctra isoforms ...

Synthetic biology approaches to generate temperature‐sensitive alleles for the Sterile Insect Technique

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is an environmentally friendly, sustainable pest control approach, which uses large‐scale releases of sterile insects to suppress or eradicate target populations through infertile matings. The efficiency of SIT is enhanced by male‐only releases requiring genetic sexing strains (GSSs) that are classically ...

Roles of ER Membrane Protein Complex in Protein Biogenesis and Quality Control in the Lung and Beyond

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
The endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein complex (EMC) is an evolutionarily conserved, multi‐subunit transmembrane protein complex crucial to membrane protein biogenesis and cellular protein quality control. This review systematically examines the structure, functions and disease‐associated regulatory mechanisms of EMC across multiple organ systems ...

Two Metschnikowia nectar yeast species have similar volatile profiles but elicit differential foraging in bee pollinators

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Yeasts that specialize in flower nectar play an important role in pollination ecology. Metschnikowia reukaufii and Metschnikowia koreensis were the most prevalent nectar yeasts found in our field sites. Bee pollinators exhibited different behavioural responses to nectar yeasts in field experiments. Bees visited more flowers with M.

Plant organelle C‐to‐U RNA editing factors can operate successfully in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) as an easily amenable eukaryotic system for their functional analysis

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Plant‐type pentatricopeptide repeat proteins capable of C‐to‐U RNA editing perform faithfully when expressed in a new heterologous system, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. They were tested with constitutive and inducible expression and with a set of different solubility tags. PPR56, PPR65, and PPR78 from P.
