  Saccharomyces cerevisiae Summary
Among them, Saccharomyces cerevisiae is perhaps the biological model most utilized for decades in order for scientists to understand the molecular anatomy and physiology of eukaryotic cells, such as membrane and transmembrane receptors, cell cycle controls, and enzymes and proteins involved in signal transduction to the nucleus.
The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is similar to animal cells (e.g., similar length to the phases of its cell cycle, similarity of the chromosomal structures called telomeres).
Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells are round to ovoid, 5-10 micrometres in diameter.

A method is described for measuring cytosolic free Ca and its time-dependent changes in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae by using the luminescent protein aequorin as a Ca -specific indicator.
This method with intact yeast cells is labeled "in vivo" to distinguish it from methods with cell extracts, labeled "in vitro." A plasmid in which the apoaequorin cDNA was joined downstream from the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase gene promoter was constructed and introduced into yeast cells.

 UMBC Biological Sciences: Philip Farabaugh: Professional Interests
We study the mechanism of frameshifting in a lower eukaryote, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Frameshifting occurs when the ribosome, the RNA•protein machine responsible for translating nucleic acid sequences into protein, changes the frame it uses in reading the 3 nucleotide mRNA sequences called codons that specify which amino acid should be inserted.
We have studied a family of ttransposable elements in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, called Ty elements, that use programmed frameshifting.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the preferred model for studies of this stress in eukaryotic cells, possesses two ìsoforms, the cytoplasmic Cu/Zn and the mitochondrial Mn superoxide dismutase which have been shown to play an important role in protection of yeast against oxygen toxicity [5].
The trehalose content of exponentially growing cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae rapidly increases in response to temperature shifts which leads to acquisition of tolerance to heat, osmotic and ethanol stresses [8].
Null mutants of superoxide dismutase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae are associated with several biochemical defects, indicating that eukaryotic SOD genes may protect numerous metabolic enzymes against oxygen-induced damage [5;26].
