Transcriptomic and chemogenomic analyses unveil the essential role of Com2-regulon in response and tolerance of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to stress induced by sulfur dioxide

September 30, 2019

This article shows that in the presence of sulfur dioxide (SO2), the transcription factor Com2 plays a critical role in the tolerance and response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, affecting the expression of a majority of SO2-activated genes and contributing to the protection against stress induced by SO2 at an enologically relevant pH.

Proline metabolism regulates replicative lifespan in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae

September 24, 2019

This article shows that intracellular proline levels in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae are correlated with its replicative lifespan, suggesting a protective role of proline against cellular senescence due to various stresses.

Genome-wide analysis of yeast expression data based on a priori generated co-regulation cliques

January 22, 2019

The study demonstrates the use of predefined genome-wide expression cliques, derived from extensive microarray data, to effectively analyze and visualize the complete gene expression response across various cellular conditions in yeast.

Conventional and emerging roles of the energy sensor Snf1/AMPK in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

September 29, 2018

This review consolidates current knowledge on the conventional and non-conventional functions of the effector kinase Snf1 in yeast, shedding light on its diverse roles in cellular physiology and energy homeostasis.

New perspectives from South-Y-East, not all about death

A report of the 12th lnternational Meeting on Yeast Apoptosis in Bari, Italy, May 14th-18th, 2017

January 16, 2018

In this article Guaragnella et al. report on the 12th International Meeting on Yeast Apoptosis (IMYA12), which was held in Bari, Italy from May 14th to 18th, 2017, where more than 100 participants, among which senior and young scientists from Europe, USA, North Africa and Japan, had an intense and open exchange of achievements and ideas in the field of yeast regulated cell death (RCD).
