Overproduction of Sch9 leads to its aggregation and cell elongation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Disruption of GAL1 Gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae Leads to Higher Ethanol Production

Mitochondrial genomic dysfunction causes dephosphorylation of Sch9 in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

TORC1-dependent phosphorylation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Sch9 was dramatically reduced upon exposure to a protonophore or in respiration-incompetent ρ(0) cells but not in respiration-incompetent pet mutants, providing important insight into the molecular mechanisms governing interorganellar signaling in general and retrograde signaling in particular.

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles: Another honor for the yeast model Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Background and Purpose: Microorganism-based synthesis of nanostructures has recently been noted as a green method for the sustainable development of nanotechnology. Nowadays, there have been numerous studies on the emerging resistant pathogenic bacteria and fungal isolates, the probable inability of bacteria and fungi to develop resistance against silver nanoparticles’ (SNPs) antibacte...

A surprising role for the Sch9 protein kinase in chromosome segregation in Candida albicans.

The AGC kinase Sch9 regulates filamentation in Candida albicans. Here, we show that Sch9 binding is most enriched at the centromeres in C. albicans, but not in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Deletion of CaSch9 leads to a 150- to 750-fold increase in chromosome loss. Thus, we report a previously unknown role of Sch9 in chromosome segregation.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae TFS9, a novel isolated yeast capable of high caffeine-tolerant and its application in biodecaffeination approach

There is a great call for using microbial bio-decaffeination approach to remove caffeinefrom caffeinated products and industrial wastes. We aimed in this study to screen strainsof yeasts which exhibit high caffeine tolerance and to investigate the bio-degradation ofcaffeine under growth conditions. Sixteen yeast strains were isolated from the cultivatedtea soils collected from sites of northern...
