Summary: Gene promoters filter transcription factor (TF) localization dynamics and changes in the DNA binding affinity of TFs. Here, we present a protocol to probe how promoters decode TF dynamics in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by combining optogenetic

ABSTRACT The purine nucleotides ATP and GTP are made from the common precursor inosine monophosphate (IMP). Maintaining the correct balance of these nucleotides for optimal cell growth is controlled in part by the enzyme IMP dehydrogenase (IMPDH), wh

ABSTRACT The ability to modify and control natural and engineered microbiomes is essential for biotechnology and biomedicine. Fungi are critical members of most microbiomes, yet technology for modifying the fungal members of a microbiome has lagged f

Summary: Environmental information may be encoded in the temporal dynamics of transcription factor (TF) activation and subsequently decoded by gene promoters to enact stimulus-specific gene expression programs. Previous studies of this behavior focus

Stress defense and cell growth are inversely related in bulk culture analyses; however, these studies miss substantial cell-to-cell heterogeneity, thus obscuring true phenotypic relationships. Here, we devised a microfluidics system to characterize m

Optogenetic systems use light to precisely control and investigate cellular processes. Until recently, there had been few instruments available for applying controlled light doses to cultures of cells. The optoPlate, a programmable array of 192 LEDs,

Utilizing microfluidics to mimic the dynamic temporal changes of growth factor and cytokine concentrations in vivo has greatly increased our understanding of how signal transduction pathways are structured to encode extracellular stimuli. To date, th

Optogenetic systems use genetically-encoded light-sensitive proteins to control and study cellular processes. As the number and quality of these systems grows, there is an increasing need for user-friendly and flexible hardware to provide programmed

The yeast mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways serve as a model system for understanding how network interactions affect the way in which cells coordinate the response to multiple signals. We have quantitatively compared two yeast strain backgro
