Global effects of ade8 deletion on budding yeast metabolism
2021
AbstractPurine auxotrophy is a typical marker for many laboratory yeast strains. Supplementation of additional purine source (like adenine) is necessary to cultivate these strains. If not supplied in adequate amounts, purine starvation sets in. We tested purine starvation effects in budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae ade8 knockout. We explored effects brought by purine starvation in cellular, central carbon metabolism and in the global transcriptome level.We observed that cells cultivated in purine depleted media became significantly more tolerant to severe thermal, oxidative and desiccation stresses when compared to the cells cultivated in media with all necessary supplements. When sta…
Purine Auxotrophic Starvation Evokes Phenotype Similar to Stationary Phase Cells in Budding Yeast
2021
Purine auxotrophy is an abundant trait among eukaryotic parasites and a typical marker for many budding yeast strains. Supplementation with an additional purine source (such as adenine) is necessary to cultivate these strains. If not supplied in adequate amounts, purine starvation sets in. We explored purine starvation effects in a model organism, a budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae ade8 knockout, at the level of cellular morphology, central carbon metabolism, and global transcriptome. We observed that purine-starved cells stopped their cycle in G1/G0 state and accumulated trehalose, and the intracellular concentration of AXP decreased, but adenylate charge remained stable. Cells becam…
