genotype/variation: wild type strain: BY4741 media: YPD
Growth protocol
Exponential growth in YPD (or YPGal) at 28ºC.
Extracted molecule
total RNA
Extraction protocol
Total RNA isolated from yeast cells was prepared as described by Sherman et al. [1986], but using a multiple-sample automated device (Fast-Prep, BIO101) to break the cells.

Label
33P-dCTP
Label protocol
In vivo labeling by run-on (GRO) was done using 33P-UTP. Around 6 x 10exp8 yeast cells were used to perform in vivo transcription. After spinning down cells, they were permeabilized with 20 mL of 0.5% sarkosyl and cells were recovered by low-speed centrifugation and the supernatant was removed. In vivo transcription was performed by resuspending cells in 115 µl of RNA water and adding 162 µL of Run On Mix (120 µl of 2.5x transcription buffer [50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.7, 500 mM KCl, 80 mM MgCl2], 20 µl of AGC mix [10 mM each of CTP, ATP and GTP], 6 µl of DTT [0.1 M] and 13 µl of [α-33P]UTP [3000 Ci/mmol, 10 Ci/µL]). The mix was incubated for 5 minutes at 30ºC to allow transcription elongation. The reaction was stopped by adding 1 ml of cold distilled water to the mix.
Hybridization protocol
Hybridization Solution was: 0.5M Na-Phosphate buffer, 1mM EDTA and 7% SDS, pH 7.2. The hybridization protocol used was as follows. Filters were inserted in 12.5X 2.5-cm flat-bottom plastic tubes and pre-hybridized in a rotator oven with 5 ml pre-hybridization solution (the same as used for hybridization but without the radioactive sample) at 65ºC. The pre-hybridization solution was then replaced with 5 ml of the same solution containing 1-5X10exp6 dpm/mL of radioactive sample and hybridized for 48h. Washing conditions were: 20 min at 65ºC in 1X SSC, 0.5% SDS, and twice at 65ºC for 10 min in 0.5X SSC, 0.1% SDS. After quantification, filters were stripped by washing them once with 50 mM NaOH at 45ºC, once with 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 0.1x SSC, 0.1% SDS and once pouring with boiling stripping buffer (5 mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.5, 0.1% SDS) over the membrane and left to cool at room temperature. To ensure that radioactivity had been eliminated, the filters were either checked with a Geiger counter.
Scan protocol
Images were acquired using a FujiFilm FLA3000 Phosphorimager. After the washing step, membranes were kept humid, sealed in Saran wrap, avoiding any bubbles, and exposed to an imaging plate (BAS-MP, FujiFilm) for various times.
Description
mRNA Amount: Processed data of cDNA triplicate experiment, [mRNA/cell volume] adjusted and Median Absolute Deviation normalized.
Data processing
Raw image quantization with background subtracted and Median Absolute Desviation normalization of each triplicate. Value was the result of the local background sustraction to the raw data. In Processed data, we normalized using ArrayStat software (Median Absolute Deviation). For RA, average values were corrected by percentage of guanines and for nTR the average value for each gene was corrected by percentage of uridines present in each probe-coding strand. The mRNA levels was adjusted using the concentration of mRNA/cell for each strain regard the wild type strain.
