Article Abstract
Hsp12 is a small heat shock protein of Saccharomyces cerevisiae upregulated in response to various stresses. Non recombinant Hsp12 has been purified and characterized. Using circular dichroism (CD), Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), it has been demonstrated that the native Hsp12 is monomeric and intrinsically disordered (IDP). Hsp12 gains in structure in the presence of specific lipids (PiP). The helical form binds to liposomes models membrane with high affinity, leading to their rigidification. These results suggest that hydrophobic and ionic interactions are involved. Hsp12 is most likely a membrane chaperone expressed during stresses in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Mass-based fingerprinting can characterize microorganisms; however, expansion of these methods to predict specific gene functions is lacking. Therefore, mass fingerprinting was developed to functionally profile a yeast knockout library. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) fingerprints of 3,238 knockouts were digitized for correlation with gene ontology (GO).

Casein kinase 1 (CK1) family members are crucial for ER-Golgi trafficking, calcium signalling, DNA repair, transfer RNA (tRNA) modifications, and circadian rhythmicity. Whether and how substrate interactions and kinase autophosphorylation contribute to CK1 plasticity remains largely unknown. Here, we undertake a comprehensive phylogenetic, cellular, and molecular characterization of budding yeast CK1 Hrr25 and identify human CK1 epsilon (CK1ϵ) as its ortholog.

Phosphorylation of histone lysine demethylases is an important mechanism by which the cell modulates chromatin dynamics to regulate its response to stress. There is evidence that the Saccharomyces cerevisiae H3K36me2/3 demethylase, Rph1p, is an integrator of many signalling events. However, the regulatory function of most Rph1p phosphosites in stress response pathways remains unknown.

Owing to the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant benefits of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC), 20 mature male albino rats, assigned into four groups (A-D; n = 5), were used to investigate its ameliorative effects on heat stress-induced testicular and humoral alterations. Group A rats were neither treated with SC nor exposed to heat [-SC, -HS]. Group B rats were treated with 7 mg/kg of SC, but were not exposed to heat [+SC, -HS].

Replication of cellular chromosomes requires a primase to generate short RNA primers to initiate genomic replication. While bacterial and archaeal primase generate short RNA primers, the eukaryotic primase, Polα-primase, contains both RNA primase and DNA polymerase (Pol) subunits that function together to form a >20 base hybrid RNA-DNA primer. Interestingly, the DNA Pol1 subunit of Polα lacks a 3'-5' proofreading exonuclease, contrary to the high-fidelity normally associated with DNA replication.
