Transcription profiling by array of yeast haploid Sigma1278b strains to detect Yak1-regulated genes

We determined and classified Yak1-regulated genes in haploid strains of the Sigma1278b genetic background under vegetative growth conditions. For this purpose, we measured transcriptional profiles of different haploid MATa yeast strains of the following genotypes:YAK1 (468=YHUM0468), yak1 (1313=YHUM1313), strain YHUM1313 (yak1) carrying a high copy plasmid with YAK1 (1313Yhc) and strain YHUM1313 (yak1) carrying a high copy plasmid with YAK1 K398R (1313KDhc). All strains were grown in duplicate in YNB medium supplemented with tryptophan at 30 degrees Celsius to an optical density of 1.0 before extraction of total RNA and transcriptional profiling.
