Management of the endoplasmic reticulum stress by activation of the heat shock response in yeast
Abstract In yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, accumulation of misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) causes ER stress and activates the unfolded protein response (UPR), which is mediated by Hac1p. The heat shock response (HSR) mediated by Hsf1p, mainly regulates cytosolic processes and protects the cell from stresses. Here, we find that a constitutive activation of the HSR could increase ER stress resistance in both wild‐type and UPR‐deficient cells. Activation of HSR decreased UPR activation in the WT (as shown by the decreased HAC1 mRNA splicing). We analyzed the genome‐wide transcriptional response in ...

Negative control glucose dependent mediated by the PreS2 region on the translation efficiency of the reporter Sh‐bleomycin gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
In this study, we show that the S mRNA is detected in the polysomes indicating its active translation, while the PreS2‐S mRNA was mainly found in monosomes. Moreover, we used the gene reporter assay based on Zeocin resistance, to better characterize the PreS2 region responsible for this control. Two chimeric genes composed of the N‐ and C‐terminal part of the PreS2 fused to the Sh‐bleomycin gene conferring the resistance to Zeocin were expressed in yeast. We found that the strain expressing the N‐terminal part of the PreS2 was sensitive to Zeocin on rich medium with 2% glucose. In contrast, the strain harbouring ...

Cell density impacts on Candida glabrata survival in hypo‐osmotic stress
Abstract Candida glabrata cells suspended in water are under hypo‐osmotic stress and undergo cell death in 1–2 days, unless they are at a density of more than 105 CFU mL−1. The dying cells exhibit FITC‐annexin V staining, indicative of programmed cell death (apoptosis). In a higher cell density, cells are protected and survive at least for 4 days. Filtrates from cells at high density can protect those at lower density, indicating that cells release substances, amounting to c. 5 mg L−1 of cell suspension, that protect each other against hypo‐osmotic stress. In a concentrated form, the released materials ca...
