Plasma membranes are isolated from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The cell wall is initially digested by helicase, followed by hypoosmotic lysis and homogenization. Membranes are prepared by subsequent differential centrifugation. The activity of the H+-ATPase is then determined by measuring the amount of inorganic phosphate released from ATP. - [Read Yeast Plasma Membrane H+ -ATPASE Toxcity Test Protocol]
Accumulation of lipophilic substances, many of which may be environmental chemicals, affects the membrane lipid order and consequently affects the functions of these proteins. Since, the function of important cellular proteins, such as the H+-ATPase strongly depends upon the integrity of the lipid bilayer, the activity of the H+-ATPase may be used as a sensitive indicator of the effect that a chemical may have on the viability of the cell. - [Read Yeast Plasma Membrane H+ -ATPASE Toxicity Test]
Protocol is a simple, reliable method for the preparation of yeast protein extracts for analysis by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and Western blotting. - [Read Yeast Protein Extracts Protocol]
Protocol describes large-scale yeast RNA isolation. It is designed to yield more than 10 mg of total nucleic acid and 300-400 µg of poly(A)-selected mRNA from each 500-ml culture. - [Read Yeast RNA Isolation: Large-Scale Protocol]
Protocol describes rapid, small-scale yeast RNA isolation. It is based on the work of Schmitt et al. (1990). Note that all containers should be washed in Rnase Away (Invitrogen) or dry baked for 24 hours at 160°C. - [Read Yeast RNA Isolation: Small-Scale Protocol]

A Single Stranded Plasmid DNA Isolation Protocol describing the production and isolation of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) using bacteriophagemid-containing bacteria and helper phage. Infection of the host cells with helper phage allows for packaging of ssDNA into bacteriophage. The ssDNA can then be isolated from phage particles.
DNA microarrays are an ordered arrangement of DNA molecules complementary to genes of interest that are "spotted" by robotic equipment onto a glass slide substrate. The expression of genes in cells can be monitored with microarrays by preparing cDNA from the mRNA of cells of interest and measuring the hybridization to the microarray. This protocol describes the labeling of genomic DNA for use as a probe for hybridization to the cDNA spotted on the array.
Tubulin is polymerized into microtubules by incubating tubulin at 37°C with GTP. A nucleation seed is added when the purpose is to assay microtubule elongation. Tubulin can also be polymerized for the purposes of recycling the tubulin or labeling the microtubules with fluorescently labeled tubulin. Based on the protocol by Timothy Mitchison of Harvard University.
This Microarray Protocol Preparation of Fluorescent DNA Probes from Human mRNA protocol describes the production of probes labeled with the fluorescent dyes, Cy3 and Cy5, following the synthesis of cDNA from human mRNA and the hybridization of the probes to DNA microarrays.
