During its natural life cycle, budding yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) has to adapt to drastically changing environments, but how environmental sensing pathways are linked to adaptive gene expression changes remains incompletely understood. Here, we describe two closely related yeast hEST1A-B (SMG5-6)-like proteins termed Esl1 and Esl2 that contain a 14-3-3-like domain and a putative PIN ribonuclease domain. We found that, unlike their metazoan orthologues, Esl1/2 were not involved in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay or telomere maintenance pathways. However, in genome-wide expression array analyses, absence of Esl1 and Esl2 led to >2-fold deregulation of ~50 transcripts, most of which were expressed inversely to the appropriate metabolic response to environmental nutrient supply; for instance, normally glucose-repressed genes were de-repressed in esl1M-NM-^T esl2M-NM-^T double mutants during growth in a high-glucose environment. Likewise, in a genome-wide synthetic gene array screen, esl1M-NM-^T esl2M-NM-^T double mutants were synthetic sick with null mutations for Rim8 and Dfg16, which form the environmental sensing complex of the Rim101 pH response gene expression pathway. Overall, these results suggest that Esl1 and Esl2 contribute to the regulation of adaptive gene expression responses of environmental sensing pathways. 3 biological replicates of each strain (wt & mutant) were analysed by competitive hybridisation. One dye-swap exeperiment was additionally performed.

Agilent RNA spikes were included to monitor labelling 300ng of Cy3 labelled cRNA and 300ng of Cy5 labelled cRNA were co-hybridised to Agilent 8 x 15K custom arrays. Arrays were hybridised at 65C for 17 hours. Arrays were washed according to manufacture's instructions. Experiments were carried out in YPD medium (1% yeast extract, 2% peptone, 2% glucose) at 30M-0C. Yeast cells were harvested during log phase RNA was extracted using the hot-phenol method Arrays were scanned on an Agilent G2565CA Scanner at a 5um resolution. Data was extracted from the image files using Agilent Feature Extraction Software 9.5.3 using protocol GE2 QCMT Feb07 Protocol Type normalization data transformation protocol labelling protocol hybridization protocol growth protocol nucleic acid extraction protocol array scanning protocol Experimental Factor Name GENOTYPE Experimental Factor Type genotype Comment[SecondaryAccession] GSE48956 Comment[GEOReleaseDate] 2013-07-18 Comment[ArrayExpressSubmissionDate] 2013-07-17 Comment[GEOLastUpdateDate] 2013-07-20 Comment[AEExperimentType] transcription profiling by array SDRF File E-GEOD-48956.sdrf.txt
