Identification of Essential Proteins Using Induced Stars in Protein-Protein Interaction Networks [PDF]
In this work, we propose a novel centrality metric, referred to as star centrality, which incorporates information from the closed neighborhood of a node, rather than solely from the node itself, when calculating its topological importance. More specifically, we focus on degree centrality and show that in the complex protein-protein interaction ...

We identified a Saccharomyces cerevisiae peroxisomal membrane protein, Pex13p, that is essential for protein import. A point mutation in the COOH-terminal Src homology 3 (SH3) domain of Pex13p inactivated the protein but did not affect its membrane ...

Single Cell Protein Production From Ethanol: Model‐Based Bioreactor Operation at Industrial Scale
ABSTRACT Alternative fermentation feedstocks such as ethanol can be produced from CO2 via electrocatalytic processes that coproduce O2. In this study, industrial‐scale fermentation of ethanol with pure O2 for single cell protein (SCP) production was studied using a modeling approach.

Millisecond single-molecule localization microscopy combined with convolution analysis and automated image segmentation to determine protein concentrations in complexly structured, functional cells, one cell at a time [PDF]
We present a single-molecule tool called the CoPro (Concentration of Proteins) method that uses millisecond imaging with convolution analysis, automated image segmentation and super-resolution localization microscopy to generate robust estimates for protein concentration in different compartments of single living cells, validated using realistic ...

Mcm2, Mcm3, and Mcm5/Cdc46 are conserved proteins essential for the initiation of DNA synthesis at replication origins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The accumulation of these proteins in the nucleus before the onset of DNA synthesis suggests that they ...

Physiology and Robustness of Yeasts Exposed to Dynamic pH and Glucose Environments
The authors investigated how three Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains respond to dynamic substrate and pH oscillations using dynamic microfluidic single‐cell cultivation (dMSCC) and intracellular biosensors. By combining performance and robustness analysis of selected intracellular parameters, growth and morphological analysis, the authors identified ...

Analyzing the Functionality of Non-native Hsp70 Proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Yeast are an ideal system to study Heat Shock Protein 70 (Hsp70) function in a cellular context. This protocol was generated to analyze the function of non-native Hsp70 proteins by expressing them as the sole cytosolic Hsp70 in yeast. As an initial step,

Bioinformatics analysis of experimentally determined protein complexes in the yeast, S. cerevisiae [PDF]
Many important cellular functions are implemented by protein complexes that act as sophisticated molecular machines of varying size and temporal stability. Here we demonstrate quantitatively that protein complexes in the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, are comprised of a core in which subunits are highly coexpressed, display the same deletion ...

RNase H2 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a complex of three proteins.
The composition of RNase H2 has been a long-standing problem. Whereas bacterial and archaeal RNases H2 are active as single polypeptides, the Saccharomyces cerevisiae homolog, Rnh2Ap, when expressed in Escherichia coli, fails to produce an active RNase ...
