... of promoters. These structures comprise the so-called G-quadruplexes (G4s) that are formed from sequences rich in guanine bases. Using a well-defined transcriptional reporter system, we sought to systematically investigate the impact of the presence of G4 structures on transcription in yeast Saccharomyces...

... of the splicing reaction. Other proteins also play key roles in mediating the progression of the spliceosome pathway. In this review, we discuss the functional roles of the protein factors involved in the spliceosome pathway primarily from studies in the yeast system. 1 To whom correspondence should...

... and their numerous interactions complicate the analysis of their individual functions. Yeast, eukaryotic but unicellular organism, lack the main regulators of apoptosis (caspases, Bcl-2 family members, …) found in mammals. This absence render them a powerful tool for heterologous expression, functional studies...

...P. Catty; A. Goffeau Calcium is an essential second messenger in yeast metabolism and physiology. So far, only four genes coding for calcium translocating ATPases had been discovered in yeast. The recent completion of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome allowed us to identify six new putative...
