Growth Curve

YNL018C-water.png

In a BY4735 background, knocking out YNL018C seems to have a modest effect on growth rate, if any. In this assay, the BY4735 strain's doubling time was 162 minutes, while the YNL018C knock-out strain's doubling time was 129 minutes. (These doubling times are the means of three experiments.)

Hydroxychloroquine

YNL018C-BY4735.png

HCQ refers to hydroxychloroquine

Under normal conditions, the BY4735 doubling time is 144 minutes, while that of YNL018C is 145 minutes. This proves that both of these strains grow at a similar rate. When grown in an environment with hydroxychloroquine, YNL018C doubled in 211 minutes, while BY4735 doubled in 276 minutes. Both strains are inhibited by hydroxychloroquine, but BY4735 growth is staggered more. In hydroxychloroquine, BY4735 has a longer lag phase than that of YNL018C. (These doubling times and curves are the means of three experiments.)

Phenylmethylsulphonyl Fluoride

YNL018C vs Wild type.jpg

The YNL018C yeast gene was determined to have an average doubling time of 151 minutes under the stress of the drug PMSF. This is is nearly 3 times as fast as the BY4735, which had a doubling time of 382 minutes. This was determined to be likely due to the modified yeast strain having a stronger resistance to the drug, making it able to grow faster and with less of an effect. Without the PMSF, the corresponding doubling times were 204 minutes for the YNL018C strain, and 442 minutes for the BY4735 strain.

Sodium Hydroxide

YNL vs WT.jpg

The YNL018C yeast gene was determined to have an average doubling time of 312 minutes under the stress of the base NaOH. This is is nearly twice as fast as the BY4735, which had a doubling time of 545 minutes. This was determined to be likely due to the modified yeast strain having a stronger resistance to NaOH, making it able to grow faster and with less of an effect. With just water, the corresponding doubling times were 785 minutes for the YNL018C strain, and 809 minutes for the BY4735 strain.


Salt Concentration (NaCl)

NaCl-BY4735vYLN018C-Graph.JPG


0mM NaCl conc. BY4735 strain's doubling time: 169 minutes

0mM NaCl conc. YNL018C strain's doubling time: 128 minutes

750mM NaCl conc. BY4735 strain's doubling time: 294 minutes

750mM NaCl conc. YNL018C strain's doubling time: 195 minutes


The graph above shows the growth rate for the previously listed strains and the relative level of NaCl concentration. Knocking out the gene positively influences the growth rate. Comparing the YNL018C doubling times between 0mM and 750mM NaCl, there is a moderate effect on the growth rate. This effect negatively influences the knockout strain's (YNL018C) growth rate.


Caffeine Group 1

gene4vswilgene.jpg

Adding caffeine to the YNL018C strain had a negative on the yeast's growth rate. The doubling times are as followed:

Doubling time of YNL018C with caffeine: 131 minutes

Doubling time of YNL018C without caffeine: 295 minutes

Doubling time of BY4735 with caffeine: 138 minutes

Doubling time of BY4735 without caffeine: 187 minutes

Caffeine effected this strain by stunting its growth rate.


Competative Co-culture

YNL018CCompetetiveCoCulture.jpg

These are the results of a competitive co-culture protocol. The knockout strain was grown in a culture to test fitness against a green, fluorescent wild-type strain. The percentage of analyzed cells in the culture measured was those displaying green fluorescence. In theory, this should mean if a knockout has reduced the fitness of a strain of yeast, the fluorescent wild-type strain would have a higher percentage than the knockout strain. If the knockout does not decrease fitness, they would be roughly equal. This may not be so in results. Sources of error may include contamination and human error.

The results here are not expected in theory. Test 1 appears to have been contaminated with an organism that grows faster than yeast and does not display a fluorescent trait like the wild-type. Test 2 yields an expected result that suggests the knockout of YNL018C does not reduce fitness in a fair, competitive co-culture.

Ammonium Sulfate

TNKO4.jpg

YNL018C gene shows an interesting result. While the wild strain from 5g/ml of ammonium sulfate to none shows a 17.8% slower rate, it shows a 40.8% slower rate. For further analysis 0.5g/ml to no ammonium sulfate was compared too. Wild showed 1% slower rate and YNL018C showed 31.4% slowed rate. Based on the differences of these two treatments in the wild to the YNL018C KO strain it could be said that there was experimental error. The differences in percent are 16.8% in the wild and roughly 8.6% in the KO strain. The doubling time of the negative control is like the wild as well. These two points could indicate some form of experimental error. It could also be that this strain with the knocked out YNL018C gene is in fact more sensitive to nitrogen starvation

UV Light

Knock-out Strain 4

Results:

  • Experiment 1:0sec=234 colonies, 600sec=25 colonies.
  • Experiment 2:0sec=136 colonies, 600sec=22 colonies.

Interpretation: The two 0sec plates are on top and the 600sec plates are on the bottom. There appears to be some contamination on the 0sec experiment 1 plate (top right) and a lot of contamination on the experiment 2 plates (left). The yeast cells seemed to be significantly affected by the UV light with about 80-90% of the cells being killed compared to the control. It's possible that the knocked-out gene was related to UV light exposure.



Calcofluor White

YNL018C CW

From this data we can determine that there was minimal growth inhibition on this strain of yeast. The modified yeast had a doubling rate that was ten minutes faster than the wild type on average, and when compared to the effect on other yeast strains this indicates there was no growth slowing effect on the modified yeast.


Heat Shock

YNLo18C yeast strain growth in pitri dishes

The top plate is the non-heat shocked sample, the middle and bottom are heat shocked. The results from this experiment showed that the YNLo19C strain of yeast is not heat sensitive. All three of the samples have similar growth and are therefore not heat sensitive.


Caffeine Group 2

Doubling Time at 0.25 concentration

Wild Type Td = (146-66) x ln(2)/ln(.6/.2) = 88 minutes; YNL018C Td = (217-1) x ln(2)/ln(0.2/0.1) = 216 minutes The caffeine was able to slow down the growth rate of YNL018C without inducing apoptosis. The caffeine was able to slow down metabolic activity. Caffeine may effect the function of the Rad52 protein that aids in DNA double-stranded breaks and maintaining genome stability. The caffeine may also aid in the process of the cell protecting itself from reacting oxygen species. Since the concentration is small in volume, apoptosis was not induced for cell function.

Ethanol Sensitivity

YNL018C Ethanol.png

The YNL018C yeast strain was determined to have an average doubling time of 220 minutes while the BY4735 strain, has a doubling time of 182 minutes. After stressing the strain out with 9% concentration of ethanol, the doubling time of the BY4735 strain when exposed to ethanol is 218 minutes, and the doubling time of the YKL121W strain is 213 minutes. Therefore, the strain is sensitive to ethanol as the results from the growth curve end in cell death.

Hydroxyurea

YNL018C Hydroxyurea.png

The YNL018C yeast strain had an average doubling time of 187, while the average doubling time of the BY4735 strain was 182 minutes. After stressing the YNL018C strain with hydroxyurea, the average doubling time was 226 minutes, with the average doubling time of the BY4735 strain was 278 minutes. Therefore, the strain is less sensitive to hydroxyurea as the results from the growth curve show. [2]
