Yeasts are a group of eukaryotic microfungi with a well-defined cell wall whose growth is either entirely unicellular or a combination of hyphal and unicellular reproduction. The approximately 1500 known yeast species belong to two distinct fungal phyla,

Global analysis of protein homomerization in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
In vivo analyses of the occurrence, subcellular localization, and dynamics of protein–protein interactions (PPIs) are important issues in functional proteomic studies. The bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) assay has many advantages in that it provides a reliable way to detect PPIs in living cells with minimal perturbation of the structure

Interaction of yeast eIF4G with spliceosome components Implications in pre-mRNA processing events [PDF]
International audienceAs evidenced from mammalian cells the eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF4G has a putative role in nuclear RNA metabolism. Here we investigate whether this role is conserved in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Double-strand break repair and homologous recombination in Schizosaccharomyces pombe [PDF]
In recent years our understanding of double strand break repair and homologous recombination in Schizosaccharomyces pombe has increased significantly, and the identification of novel pathways and genes with homologues in higher eukaryotes has increased ...

The 5' → 3' exoribonuclease XRN1/Pacman and its functions in cellular processes and development [PDF]
XRN1 is a 5' → 3' processive exoribonuclease that degrades mRNAs after they have been decapped. It is highly conserved in all eukaryotes, including homologs in Drosophila melanogaster (Pacman), Caenorhabditis elegans (XRN1), and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (

Engineering Saccharomyces cerevisiae for efficient production of recombinant proteins
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an excellent microbial cell factory for producing valuable recombinant proteins because of its fast growth rate, robustness, biosafety, ease of operability via mature genomic modification technologies, and the presence of a ...

Expansion of a Telomeric FLO/ALS-Like Sequence Gene Family in Saccharomycopsis fermentans
Non-Saccharomyces species have been recognized for their beneficial contribution to fermented food and beverages based on their volatile compound formation and their ability to ferment glucose into ethanol.

Phosphatidylserine polarization is required for proper Cdc42 localization and for development of cell polarity. [PDF]
We used genetically-encoded fluorescent probes to visualize the distribution of phosphatidylserine (PS) in live S. cerevisiae. The majority of the PS was found to reside in the cytosolic leaflet of the plasma membrane.

The hypoxic transcription factor KlMga2 mediates the response to oxidative stress and influences longevity in the yeast Kluyveromyces lactis [PDF]
Hypoxia is defined as the decline of oxygen availability, depending on environmental supply and cellular consumption rate. The decrease in O2 results in reduction of available energy in facultative aerobes.
