Global Transcriptional Analysis of Yeast Cell Death Induced by Mutation of Sister Chromatid Cohesin

Figure 6

UV radiation caused increase of apoptotic cell death in mcd1-1 and pds5-1 mutants. (a) wild type, pds5-1 cells, and mcd1-1 cells were exposed to UV radiation (150 J/ ) then incubated for 20 hours at . Cells were stained with DAPI to identify the fragmented nuclei. Data are from 3 independent experiments; at least 100 cells were counted for each experiment. (b) ROS was produced in pds5-1 and mcd1-1 mutants. Wild type and the mcd1-1 and pds5-1mutants were exposed to UV radiation (150 J/ ) then incubated for 2 and 18 hours at . Dihydrorhodamine 123 (Priault et al. pages 684–91) was added into cell culture and incubated for another 2 hours, ROS production was measured using a microplate reader.
