Yeast colony size reflects YAC copy number.
A novel strategy for separation of co-cloned YACs was developed. For this, yeast cells were grown under non-selective conditions to allow the mitotic loss of multiple YACs. Yeast colonies of different size appear on 'drop-out' selection plates with small clones consistently containing a single-copy YAC. Different auxotrophic marker genes can be used to separate co-cloned YACs or reduce their co...
متن کاملrRNA operon copy number reflects ecological strategies of bacteria.
Although natural selection appears to favor the elimination of gene redundancy in prokaryotes, multiple copies of each rRNA-encoding gene are common on bacterial chromosomes. Despite this conspicuous deviation from single-copy genes, no phenotype has been consistently associated with rRNA gene copy number. We found that the number of rRNA genes correlates with the rate at which phylogenetically...
متن کاملQuantification of Protein Copy Number in Yeast: The NAD+ Metabolome
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is calorie-restricted by lowering glucose from 2% to 0.5%. Under low glucose conditions, replicative lifespan is extended in a manner that depends on the NAD+-dependent protein lysine deacetylase Sir2 and NAD+ salvage enzymes. Because NAD+ is required for glucose utilization and Sir2 function, it was postulated that glucose levels alter the levels of NAD+ metabolites th...
متن کاملDosage compensation can buffer copy-number variation in wild yeast
Aneuploidy is linked to myriad diseases but also facilitates organismal evolution. It remains unclear how cells overcome the deleterious effects of aneuploidy until new phenotypes evolve. Although laboratory strains are extremely sensitive to aneuploidy, we show here that aneuploidy is common in wild yeast isolates, which show lower-than-expected expression at many amplified genes. We generated...
متن کاملHigh-Resolution Copy-Number Variation Map Reflects Human Olfactory Receptor Diversity and Evolution
Olfactory receptors (ORs), which are involved in odorant recognition, form the largest mammalian protein superfamily. The genomic content of OR genes is considerably reduced in humans, as reflected by the relatively small repertoire size and the high fraction ( approximately 55%) of human pseudogenes. Since several recent low-resolution surveys suggested that OR genomic loci are frequently affe...
