Exploiting the Geranylgeranyl‐Pyrophosphate‐Sensing N‐Terminal Domain of HMG‐CoA Reductase 2 to Regulate Farnesyl Pyrophosphate Synthase (Erg20p) for Improved Monoterpene Production in Saccharomyces cerevisiae Dynamic downregulation of the endogenous farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) synthase (Erg20p) is crucial to engineer heterologous monoterpene production in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. FPP downstrea...

Improved limonene and geraniol production in Saccharomyces cerevisiae via the modification of the farnesyl pyrophosphate synthetase Erg20p. Read more about it in the latest #Yeast research article by Zeyu Lu, @claudiavickers.bsky.social , Bingyin Peng & team.

how (yeast) cells re-climb the fitness landscape when they are reprogrammed to a different telomere DNA sequences (human-like)? read the latest from @melaniadangiolo.bsky.social etal , with great help and insights from Eric Gilson, Jonas Warringer and @juliamuenzner.bsky.social (& Ralser lab)

Cooperative Function of Atg8‐ and TORC1‐Mediated Activities in Yeast The atg8Δ mutant is sensitive to rapamycin, and both lipidation-dependent and -independent functions of Atg8 are necessary for survival during impaired TORC1 activity. Atg8- and TORC1-mediated functi...

In this new #Yeast research article, Yumiko Oba, Miyuki Higuchi, Naoka Takahashi, Haruko Katsuta, Naoki Koike, Takashi Ushimaru & Yoko Kimura investigated the cooperative role of ATG8 and TORC1 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Grande Marco! Congratulazioni a te e Mariana 👏👏👏

Excited to share the first paper of my PhD with @marcofumasoni.bsky.social ‬, now published in @molsystbiol.org 🥳! We explored how nutrient levels influence adaptation to perturbed DNA replication. Here’s what we learned 🧵👇 www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

📢 New paper out in Mol Syst Biol!
During the development of WT yeast colonies, small cell subpopulations experience transient, high-intensity mutational bursts. Such hypermutation episodes are modulated by the DNA damage tolerance pathway 🧬
