The purpose of this article is to review essential features of the life cycle of the budding yeast
Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a starting point for learning about S. cerevisiae and its cell …

Two double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) viruses, two apparently naked single-stranded RNA
(ssRNA) replicons, five retroviruses and, most recently, two putative prions have been found …

We have analyzed the set of genes expressed from the yeast genome, herein called the
transcriptome, using serial analysis of gene expression. Analysis of 60,633 transcripts …

S. cerevisiae kex2 mutants are defective for the production of two biologically active
secreted peptides: killer toxin and the mating pheromone, CP factor. Both molecules are …

The genomic sequence of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been used to
design and synthesize high-density oligonucleotide arrays for monitoring the expression …

Recombinant non‐hydroxylated gelatins based on mouse type I and rat type III collagen
sequences were secreted from the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris, using the …

Publisher Summary This chapter provides a detailed overview of the known polycationic
peptides, with emphasis on those of less than 100 amino acids and with a net charge …

We characterized two genes, FUS1 and FUS2, which are required for fusion of
Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells during conjugation. Mutations in these genes lead to an …

BiP/GRP78 is an essential member of the HSP70 family that resides in the lumen of the
endoplasmic reticulum. In yeast, BiP/GRP78 is encoded by the KAR2 gene. A temperature …

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae pheromone a-factor is produced by a cells and interacts with
α cells to cause cell cycle arrest and other physiological responses associated with mating …
