Osmotic Balance Regulates Cell Fusion during Mating in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Successful zygote formation during yeast mating requires cell fusion of the two haploid mating partners. To ensure that cells do not lyse as they remodel their cell wall, the fusion event is both temporally and spatially regulated: the cell wall is degraded only after cell-cell contact and only in the region of cell-cell contact. To understand how cell fusion is regulated, we identified mutants...
متن کاملIsolation of indigenous Glutathione producing Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains
Background: Glutathione (GSH) is a non-protein thiol compound, which plays an important role in the response to oxidative stress and nutritional stress. The aim of this study was to isolate indigenous S. cerevisiae strains capable of effectively produce GSH. Methods: One hundred-twenty sweet frui...
متن کاملHigh-efficiency transformation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells by bacterial minicell protoplast fusion.
After a new transformation procedure, 10% of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells were found to contain transforming DNA sequences. We used direct transfer of plasmid molecules by fusing bacterial minicell protoplasts to yeast protoplasts. Since the procedure significantly reduces the toxic effect of procaryotic protoplasm on the eucaryotic organism, it might be generally applicable in other systems ...
متن کاملIntroduction of flocculation into industrial yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae saké, by protoplast fusion.
Protoplast fusion was applied to obtain intraspecific fusion in yeast strains in order to overcome restrictions imposed by the natural mating system. Acriflavine was used to construct petite mutants from non-flocculent industrial Saccharomyces cerevisiae saké strain. UV radiation was used to construct ura- mutants from a respiratory competent and highly flocculent S. cerevisiae NCYC869 strain. ...
متن کاملElectrofusion of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Auxotrophic Mutants of Identical Mating Type Using a Laboratory-Made System
Yeast protoplasts from haploid auxotroph strains DC6 (MATα) and FY73 (MATα) were exposed to an inhomogeneous alternating field (AC 200 V/cm). Due to the dielectrophoretic aggregation two or more cells with close membrane contact were formed between the two electrodes. The effects of different DC pulses were investigated to determine critical fusogenic pulse strength. In the results, the maximum...
