Yeasts are beneficial microorganisms for human society and are utilized for academic and industrial purposes. For academic purposes, S. cerevisiae is a well-investigated model for studying eukaryotic cellular processes. For industrial purposes, S. pastorianus, which has a hybrid genome of S. cerevisiae and S. eubayanus, has been served for lager beer production. During fermentation, S. pastorianus produces ~7% of EtOH, which induces plasma membrane (PM)/cell wall stress in yeast. Therefore, S. pastorianus may experience PM stress and adapt to the self-forming environment during fermentation. However, how yeast adapts to PM stress remains unclear. Here, we investigated the temporal cellular responses of S. cerevisiae and S. pastorianus during adaptation to PM stresses by time-resolved mRNA-seq analysis. Our data showed different transcriptional phenotypes between S. cerevisiae and S. pastorianus during adaptation. The results may reflect the distinct nature of the two yeasts that have evolved in different nutritional environments. The dataset presented here would provide a promising resource for studying the characteristic nature of these differentially domesticated yeasts upon PM stresses.

Diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) of Escherichia coli has been reconstituted into a variety of phospholipid bilayers and its activity determined as a function of lipid headgroup structure and phase preference. The anionic phospholipids dioleoylphosphatidic acid, dioleoylphosphatidylserine, and cardiolipin were all found to support activities lower than that supported by dioleoylphosphatidylcholine. In mixtures of dioleoylphosphatidylcholine and 20 mol % anionic phospholipids, the presence of anionic phospholipids all resulted in lower activities than in dioleoylphosphatidylcholine, except for dioleoylphosphatidylglycerol whose presence had little effect on activity. In some cases, the low activity in the presence of anionic phospholipid followed from a decrease in v(max); in some cases, it followed from an increase in the K(m) for diacylglycerol, and in the case of dioleoylphosphatidic acid, it followed from both. Activities in mixtures containing 80 mol % dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine were lower than in dioleoylphosphatidylcholine at temperatures where both lipids adopted a bilayer phase; at higher temperatures where dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine preferred a hexagonal H(II) phase, the differences in activity were greater. These experiments suggest that the presence of lipids preferring a hexagonal H(II) phase leads to low activities. Activities of DGK are low in a gel phase lipid.
