The researchers deployed this technology in yeast cells that are genetically engineered to overproduce a protein associated with Parkinson's disease, known as alpha - synuclein.

«Let them eat xylose: Yeast engineered to grow efficiently on novel nutrients: Discoveries may lead to faster growth and higher cell densities in biological engineering applications.»

The researchers also engineered a yeast strain where a mutant condensin was produced by the cell when it went into figurative labor.

Several research teams had reasoned that if yeast cells could be engineered to express mannosidase, the cells wouldn't produce the mannose - rich sugar complexes that are so immunogenic to humans.

The group took the first step toward their goal of a novel engineering strategy for yeast by creating what is known as a cDNA library: a collection of over 90 % of the genes from the genome of baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), arranged within a custom segment of DNA so that each gene will be, in one version, overactive within a yeast cell, and in a second version, reduced in activity.

Lundblad's group has engineered yeast cells that lack telomerase, to study how cells respond to eroding telomeres when telomerase is not present to counter-balance.

They blow up because Maselko's technology instructs the cell to generate an immense amount of proteins caused by that particular gene — but only when the engineered yeast mate with wild versions.

Because yeast cells are eukaryotic, like human cells, the approach could be a powerful new way to engineer humanlike proteins and cell pathways.
