Methods.
Printing of arrays. Yeast 50-mer
oligo library from MWGBiotech Oligo Sets (http:/www.mwgbiotech.com) were
resuspended to 40mM in Micro Spotting solution (Telechem International Inc.).
SuperAmine coated slides 25x75 mm (TeleChem International INC) were printed in
duplicate, and fixed at 80°C for 4 hours. For pre-hybridization the slides were
re-hydrated with water vapor at 60°C, and fixed with two cycles of UV
light (1200J). After boiling for two minutes at 92°C, slides were washed with 95% ethanol for one minute
and prehybridzed in 5X SSC, 0.1% SDS and 1% BSA for one hour at 42°C .The slides were washed and dried for further
hybridization.
Probe
preparation and hybridization to arrays. 10 mg of total RNA were used for cDNA synthesis incorporating dUTP-Cy3
or dUTP-Cy5 employing the CyScribe Firs-Strand cDNA labeling kit (Amersham).
Incorporation of fluorophore was analyzed by using the absorbance at 555 nm for
Cy3 and 655 for Cy5. Equal quantities of labeled cDNA were hybridized using
hybridization solution HybIT2 (TeleChem International INC), to the collection
of yeast arrays for 14 h at 42°C. For duplicate experiments RNA was
used from independent cultures and fluorophore used was dUTP-Cy5 for FY833 and
dUTP-Cy3 for FY833-Dsit4 strain and in the second experiment labeling
was switched.
Data acquisition and analysis of array images. Acquisition and quantification of array images was
performed in ScanArray 4000 with its accompanying software ScanArray 4000 from
Packard BioChips. All images were captured using 60% PMT gain, 70 to 75% laser
power and 10µm resolution at 50% scan rate. For each spot the density mean
value (D), background mean value (B), normalized signal mean value(S), which is the result from (D-B) and
inertial diameter (I) were calculated with software ArrayPro Analyzer from
Media Cibernetics. The normalized signal mean value (S) for each spot was
then normalized using as 100% the
total mean signal value obtained from all spots of the array.
Signal and noise selection. To select significant changes the ratio between the mean density from all spots to the mean background of all spots of
the array was calculated (Dmean
/ Bmean). Good signal from Cy3 or Cy5 spots were selected if DCyX
/ BCyX of each spot was >= (Dmean / Bmean).
Good spot size was selected if Cy3 inertial diameter (ICy3) to Cy5
inertial diameter (ICy5) ratio was >= to 0.9 and <= 1.1.
Selection of regulated genes in individual arrays. The Log2
Cy3/Cy5 signal ratio for each spot was obtained. Up-regulated genes were
selected if Log2 (SCy3/SCy5) was > 0.6 (1.5
fold up-regulated). Down-regulated genes were selected if Log2 (SCy3/SCy5)
was < -0.6 (1.5 fold down-regulated). As each array contains a duplicate for
each gene the average and standard deviation of both spots signals was
calculated. The spots were selected as positive only if the average value between them was two times the standard
deviation. The conditions to be met for up-regulated genes were:DCy3
/ BCy3 >= DmeanCy3 / BmeanCy3; ICy3
/ ICy5 >= 0.9; ICy3 / ICy5 <= 1.1; Log2
(SCy3/SCy5) > 0.6 and Saverage > 2
X StDev
The conditions to be met for down-regulated genes
were: DCy5 / BCy5 >= DmeanCy5 / BmeanCy5;
ICy3 / ICy5 >= 0.9; ICy3 / ICy5
<= 1.1; Log2 (SCy3/SCy5) < -0.6; Saverage
> 2 X StDev
Similar results were obtained by freeware BRB array
tools (linus.nci.nih.gov).Final fold changes were calculated by using the
average of three individual. Genes were considered as having a changed
expression if average (Sfinal) between experiments of Log2 (SCyx/SCyx) < -0.6
or Log2 (SCyx/SCyx)
> 0.6 and Sfinal=2X standard deviation.
Gene functions were annotated in
february 2005 according to SGD (http://genome-www.stanford.edu/Saccharomyces/).
Clusters were originated using the SGD Gene Ontology Term Finder
(http://genome-www4.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/SGD/GO/goTermFinder) applying a cut-off
of p < 0.01. Over-represented gene groups with common biological processes
were annotated.
