Abstract

In a recent issue of Cell, Hughes and coworkers (Mnaimneh et al., 2004) provide a great leap forward in the analysis of essential yeast genes by constructing a strain set that expresses each essential gene from a tetracycline-regulatable promoter.

Untangling the web of functional and physical interactions in yeast.

An analysis of an integrated network of over 150,000 functional and physical interactions in yeast suggests that the network can be hierarchically decomposed into themes and thematic maps. This decomposition can be used to explore the organizational principles of integrated biological networks within cells.

Global analysis of yeast RNA processing identifies new targets of RNase III and uncovers a link between tRNA 5' end processing and tRNA splicing.

We used a microarray containing probes that tile all known yeast noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) to investigate RNA biogenesis on a global scale. The microarray verified a general loss of Box C/D snoRNAs in the TetO7-BCD1 mutant, which had previously been shown for only a handful of snoRNAs. We also monitored the accumulation of improperly processed flank sequences of pre-RNAs in strains depleted for known RNA nucleases, including RNase III, Dbr1p, Xrn1p, Rat1p and components of the exosome and RNase P complexes. Among the hundreds of aberrant RNA processing events detected, two novel substrates of Rnt1p (the RUF1 and RUF3 snoRNAs) were identified. We also identified a relationship between tRNA 5' end processing and tRNA splicing, processes that were previously thought to be independent. This analysis demonstrates the applicability of microarray technology to the study of global analysis of ncRNA synthesis and provides an extensive directory of processing events mediated by yeast ncRNA processing enzymes.
