AbstractAbstract
In vitro fecal fermentation is an assay that uses fecal microbes to ferment foods, the results of which can be used to evaluate the potential of prebiotic candidates. To date, there have been various protocols used for in vitro fecal fermentation- based assessments of food substances. In this study, we investigated how personal gut microbiota differences and external factors affect the results of in vitro fecal fermentation assays. We used Cheonggukjang (CGJ), a Korean traditional fermented soybean soup that is acknowledged as healthy functional diet. CGJ was digested in vitro using acids and enzymes, and then fermented with human feces anaerobically. After fecal fermentation, the microbiota was analyzed using MiSeq, and the amount of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) were measured using GC-MS. Our results suggest that CGJ was effectively metabolized by fecal bacteria to produce SCFAs, and this process resulted in an increase in the abundance of Coprococcus, Ruminococcus, and Bifidobacterium and a reduction in the growth of Sutterella, an opportunistic pathogen. The metabolic activities predicted from the microbiota shifts indicated enhanced metabolism linked to methionine biosynthesis and depleted chondroitin sulfate degradation. Moreover, the amount of SCFAs and microbiota shifts varied depending on personal microbiota differences. Our findings also suggest that in vitro fecal fermentation of CGJ for longer durations may partially affect certain fecal microbes. Overall, the study discusses the usability of in vitro gastrointestinal digestion and fecal fermentation (GIDFF) to imitate the effects of diet-induced microbiome modulation and its impact on the host.

AbstractAbstract
The DNA damage checkpoint signaling pathway is a highly conserved surveillance mechanism that ensures genome integrity by sequential activation of protein kinase cascades. In mammals, the main pathway is orchestrated by two central sensor kinases, ATM and ATR, that are activated in response to DNA damage and DNA replication stress. Patients lacking functional ATM or ATR suffer from ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) or Seckel syndrome, respectively, with pleiotropic degenerative phenotypes. In addition to DNA strand breaks, ATM and ATR also respond to oxidative DNA damage and reactive oxygen species (ROS), suggesting an unconventional function as regulators of intracellular redox status. Here, we summarize the multiple roles of ATM and ATR, and of their orthologs in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Tel1 and Mec1, in DNA damage checkpoint signaling and the oxidative stress response, and discuss emerging ideas regarding the possible mechanisms underlying the elaborate crosstalk between those pathways. This review may provide new insights into the integrated cellular strategies responsible for maintaining genome stability in eukaryotes with a focus on the yeast model organism.

AbstractAbstract
Synthetic lethality is an extreme form of negative genetic epistasis that arises when a combination of functional deficiency in two or more genes results in cell death, whereas none of the single genetic perturbations are lethal by themselves. This unconventional genetic interaction is a modification of the concept of essentiality that can be exploited for the purpose of targeted cancer therapy. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been pivotally used for early large-scale synthetic lethal screens due to its experimental advantages, but recent advances in gene silencing technology have now made direct high-throughput analysis possible in higher organisms. Identification of tumor-specific alterations and characterization of the mechanistic principles underlying synthetic lethal interaction are the key to applying synthetic lethality to clinical cancer treatment by enabling genome-driven oncological research. Here, we provide emerging ideas on the synthetic lethal interactions in budding yeast, particularly between cellular processes responsible for oxidative stress response and DNA damage repair, and discuss how they can be appropriately utilized for context-dependent cancer therapeutics.

AbstractAbstract
The SRL4 (YPL033C) gene was initially identified by the screening of Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes that play a role in DNA metabolism and/or genome stability using the SOS system of Escherichia coli. In this study, we found that the srl4Δ; mutant cells were resistant to the chemicals that inhibit nucleotide metabolism and evidenced higher dNTP levels than were observed in the wild-type cells in the presence of hydroxyurea. The mutant cells also showed a significantly faster growth rate and higher dNTP levels at low temperature (16 oC) than were observed in the wild-type cells, whereas we detected no differences in the growth rate at 30oC. Furthermore, srl4Δ was shown to suppress the lethality of mutations of the essential S phase checkpoint genes, RAD53 and LCD1. These results indicate that SRL4 may be involved in the regulation of dNTP production by its function as a negative regulator of ribonucleotide reductase.

AbstractAbstract
During mitosis, the proper segregation of duplicated chromosomes is coordinated by a spindle checkpoint. The bifurcated spindle checkpoint blocks cell cycle progression at metaphase by monitoring unattached kinetochores and inhibits mitotic exit in response to the misorientation of the mitotic spindle. Ibd1p/Bfa1p is a spindle checkpoint regulator of budding yeast in the Bub2p checkpoint pathway for mitotic exit and its disruption abolishes mitotic arrest when proper organization of the mitotic spindle is inhibited. Ibd1p/Bfa1p localizes to the spindle pole body, a microtubule-organizing center in yeast, and its overexpression arrests the cell cycle in 80% of cells with an enlarged bud at mitosis and in 20% of cells with multiple buds. In this study, we found that the C-terminus of Ibd1p/Bfa1p physically interacts with Skp1p, a key component of SCF (Skp1/cullin/F-box) complex for ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis of cell cycle regulators as well as an evolutionally conserved kinetochore protein for cell cycle progression. A putative F-box motif was found in the C-terminus of Ibd1p/Bfa1p and its function was investigated by making mutants of conserved residues in the motif. These Ibd1p/Bfa1p mutants of a putative F-box interacted with Skp1p in vitro by two-hybrid assays as wild type Ibd1p/Bfa1p. Also, these Ibd1p/Bfa1p mutants displayed the overexpression phenotypes of wild type Ibd1p, when over-expressed under inducible promoters. These results suggest that a putative F-box motif of Ibd1p/Bfa1p is not essential for the interaction with Skp1p and its function in mitotic exit and cytokinesis.
