Within the field of Saccharomyces cerevisiae functional genomics, DNA microarrays have become a very useful tool to study genome-wide gene-expression changes under diverse experimental conditions. Here, the design and production of a gene microarray, called the ‘yeast cell wall chip’, specifically tailored to investigate cell wall functions, is described. This array has been validated and shown to be useful to address gene involvement in the regulation of the response to cell wall damage in yeast. The advantages of this tailored gene microarray, which contains 390 genes, in terms of reproducibility, accuracy, versatility and ease of use are reported. Importantly, the microarray design permits the performance of a double hybridization process (two experiments) on the same slide. Cell wall stress leads to the transcriptional activation of a set of genes involved in cell wall remodelling. This response has been shown to be strongly controlled by the MAP kinase (MAPK) Slt2p, but other signalling pathways have also been suggested to be involved in this process. Here, using the tailored microarray, the role of the HOG1 pathway in the regulation of the transcriptional compensatory response to cell wall damage was evaluated by comparing the transcriptional profiles of a hog1 mutant and a wild-type strain in the presence of Congo red. Two genes, YFL014W (HSP12) and YLR414C, were found to be dependent on the Hog1p MAPK for their induction, indicating that an additional level of regulation of cell wall functions is mediated by this MAPK.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of using the Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast cell wall (YCW) as an aflatoxin B<sub>1 </sub>(AFB<sub>1</sub>) adsorbent in broiler chicken feed on performance and carcass characteristics. The present study used a randomized complete block with four treatments in a 2 (with or without AFB<sub>1</sub>) × 2 (with or without YCW) factorial design. No interaction effect (P &gt; 0.05) between AFB<sub>1</sub> and YCW was found on the studied performance variables. The addition of YCW to the diets stimulated the feed intake of chickens during 1–21 days of age. However, YCW did not significantly increase (P &gt; 0.05) weight gain nor did it change feed conversion. The presence of AFB<sub>1</sub> in the diet did not affect (P &gt; 0.05) performance parameters. The addition of YCW to the feed containing AFB<sub>1</sub> significantly increased (P &lt; 0.05) the post-fasting live weight (781.12 g), chilled carcass weight (554.41 g), and leg weight (163.34 g) compared to feed without AFB<sub>1</sub> and YCW (764.84 g; 533.41 g; 161.88 g), feed with only YCW (764.22 g; 546.87 g; 159.34 g), and feed with only AFB<sub>1</sub> (735.41 g; 510.56 g; 152.75 g). In conclusion, YCW effectively reduced some of the deleterious effects of AFB<sub>1</sub> in broilers.

ABSTRACT Fifty-one human glycosyltransferases were expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae as immobilized enzymes and were assayed for enzymatic activities. The stem and catalytic regions of sialyl-, fucosyl-, galactosyl-, N-acetylgalactosaminyl-, and N-acetylglucosaminyltransferases were fused with yeast cell wall Pir proteins, which anchor glycosyltransferases at the yeast cell wall glucan. More than 75% of expressed recombinant glycosyltransferases retained their enzymatic activities in the yeast cell wall fraction and will be used as a human glycosyltransferase library. In increasing the enzymatic activities of immobilized glycosyltransferases, several approaches were found to be effective. Additional expression of yeast protein disulfide isomerase increased the expression levels and activities of polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases and other glycosyltransferases. PIR3 and/or PIR4 was more effective than PIR1 as a cell wall anchor when the Pir-glycosyltransferase fusions were expressed under the control of the constitutive glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase promoter. Oligosaccharides such as Lewis x, Lewis y, and H antigen were successfully synthesized using this immobilized glycosyltransferase library, indicating that the Pir-fused glycosyltransferases are useful for the production of various human oligosaccharides.

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae KRE1 gene encodes a Ser/Thr-rich protein, that is directed into the yeast secretory pathway, where it is highly modified, probably through addition of O-linked mannose residues. Gene disruption of the KRE1 locus leads to a 40% reduced level of cell wall (1----6)-beta-glucan. Structural analysis of the (1----6)-beta-glucan fraction, isolated from a strain with a krel disruption mutation, showed that it had an altered structure with a smaller average polymer size. Mutations in two other loci, KRE5 and KRE6 also lead to a defect in cell wall (1----6)-beta-glucan production and appear to be epistatic to KRE1. These findings outline a possible pathway of assembly of yeast cell wall (1----6)-beta-glucan.

The influence of 29 species of soil organisms (21 bacteria and 8 fungi) on nematode capture by 3 species of nematophagous fungi was investigated. Only the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, was found to bind to lectin-containing traps of Arthrobotrys conoides and Monacrosporium rutgeriensis and prevent nematode capture. None of the organisms studied bound to the traps of Monacrosporium eudermatum. The trap lectin of Arthrobotrys conoides, being specific for glucose – mannose, apparently binds to the mannan component of the yeast cell wall. At this time, it is not clear why the yeast binds to traps of Monacrosporium rutgeriensis since the trap lectin is highly specific for 2-deoxyglucose, a saccharide that does not appear to occur in nature.

Abstract The use of feed additives based on yeast cell wall has already been studied to favor the growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria to the detriment of pathogenic bacteria in ruminants. This fact reduces diarrhea, increases animal performance, and could promote lesser contamination of the bovine carcass at the time of slaughter, during the evisceration. The present study aims to verify if the yeast cell wall of Saccharomyces cerevisiae autolyzed yeast (AY) reduces total coliforms and Escherichia coli in feces and bovine carcass. Therefore, 36 steers, ½ Angus blood, finished in a feedlot, were submitted to three daily treatments for 105 days: control (diet without yeast), AY 4g (4g/animal/day, 2 x 1010cel/g of a commercial product based on Saccharomyces cerevisiae RumenYeast®), AY 7g (7g/animal/day, RumenYeast®). On days 29 and 90, after beginning in the feedlot, samples of feces were collected for E. coli and total coliforms identifications and counting. On the day of slaughter, 4 points of the carcasses were collected to identify and quantify E. coli, total fecal coliforms, and mesophiles by a petrifilm methodology. There was a reduction in E. coli and total coliforms for the AY 7g in the fecal samples comparing to the other groups (P = 0.0008 and 0.008, respectively), and a trend to reduce E. coli, total coliforms and mesophilic aerobes in the bovine carcass in AY 4g and AY 7g, comparing to the control group (P = 0.06; 0.10, and 0.05, respectively). It was concluded that supplementation with autolyzed yeast, especially when utilized in higher doses (7g), reduced fecal excretion and, consequently, reduce the carcass contamination by E. coli, mesophiles, and, total coliforms in animals during the feedlot period.
