Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers focused on the PKA pathway and identified the transcription factor genes MSN2/4 as key regulators of proline utilization during winemaking.
  • * Deleting the SHY1 gene in yeast improved proline consumption and ethanol production, suggesting that manipulating the PKA-Msn2/4-Shy1 pathway could enhance wine yeast efficiency in reducing proline during fermentation.

The current CRISPR/Cas9 systems in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae cannot be considered a non-genetic modification technology because it requires the introduction of Cas9 and sgRNA into yeast cells using plasmid expression systems. Our present study showed that the yeast genome can be edited without plasmid expression systems by using a commercially available protein transfection reagent and chemically modified sgRNAs.

is a zoonotic pathogen that causes erysipelas in a variety of animals. In humans, in contrast to the cutaneous form called erysipeloid, which is an occupational disease and common in individuals who handle raw meat and fish, invasive systemic infections are unusual. expresses an immunogenic surface protein, Spa (surface protective antigen), which is involved in virulence.
