Vývoj a diferenciace různých typů kvasinkových kolonií: Regulace metabolické diverzifikace a rozvoj buněk s novými vlastnostmi

Maršíková, Jana

Yeasts are unicellular organisms, but on a solid substrate they are capable of forming complex organized structures that behave like primitive multicellular organisms. Examples of these structures include colonies and biofilms, whose cells interact with each other, coordinate their growth and development, differentiate spatially and form specialized cell subpopulations in which specific processes and regulatory pathways occur. The basis of cellular differentiation and specialization is the formation of gradients of nutrients, metabolites and signaling molecules. Thus, multicellular yeast communities differ significantly from planktonic populations in their characteristics. The aim of this work is to increase knowledge related to the development and differentiation of both smooth and structured colonies of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The literature introduction of the thesis provides an overview of the current knowledge on the development of yeast colonies and biofilms, especially of S. cerevisiae species, and also includes selected regulations important for the formation of multicellular populations. The thesis provides insights into the antagonistic function of the transcriptional regulators Cyc8p and Tup1p in the development of structured biofilm colonies. Genome-wide transcriptomic...
