Molecular communication: crosstalk between the Snf1 and other signaling pathways

S Shashkova, N Welkenhuysen… - FEMS yeast …, 2015 - academic.oup.com
The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae employs different conserved signaling pathways to
adapt to altered availability of nutrient and energy sources. Crosstalk between the pathways …

[HTML][HTML] Light-sensing via hydrogen peroxide and a peroxiredoxin

…, N Romanov, A Igbaria, N Welkenhuysen… - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com
Yeast lacks dedicated photoreceptors; however, blue light still causes pronounced oscillations
of the transcription factor Msn2 into and out of the nucleus. Here we show that this poorly …

[HTML][HTML] Scalable and flexible inference framework for stochastic dynamic single-cell models

S Persson, N Welkenhuysen… - PLoS Computational …, 2022 - journals.plos.org
Understanding the inherited nature of how biological processes dynamically change over
time and exhibit intra- and inter-individual variability, due to the different responses to …

Peroxiredoxin promotes longevity and H2O2-resistance in yeast through redox-modulation of protein kinase A

…, S Hanzén, C Gao, G Lagniel, N Welkenhuysen… - Elife, 2020 - elifesciences.org
Peroxiredoxins are H 2 O 2 scavenging enzymes that also carry out H 2 O 2 signaling and
chaperone functions. In yeast, the major cytosolic peroxiredoxin, Tsa1 is required for both …

[HTML][HTML] Single-cell study links metabolism with nutrient signaling and reveals sources of variability

N Welkenhuysen, J Borgqvist, M Backman… - BMC systems …, 2017 - Springer
Background The yeast AMPK/SNF1 pathway is best known for its role in glucose de/repression.
When glucose becomes limited, the Snf1 kinase is activated and phosphorylates the …

[HTML][HTML] Systems level analysis of the yeast osmo-stat

…, M Andersson, R Babazadeh, N Welkenhuysen… - Scientific reports, 2016 - nature.com
Adaptation is an important property of living organisms enabling them to cope with environmental
stress and maintaining homeostasis. Adaptation is mediated by signaling pathways …

[HTML][HTML] Fine-tuning of energy levels regulates SUC2 via a SNF1-dependent feedback loop

S Persson, N Welkenhuysen, S Shashkova… - Frontiers in …, 2020 - frontiersin.org
Nutrient sensing pathways are playing an important role in cellular response to different energy
levels. In budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the sucrose non-fermenting protein …

[HTML][HTML] The Effect of Lithium on the Budding Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae upon Stress Adaptation

P Reith, S Braam, N Welkenhuysen, S Lecinski… - Microorganisms, 2022 - mdpi.com
Lithium salts are used in the treatment of mood disorders, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease.
It has been shown to prolong life span in several phyla; however, not yet in budding yeast. In …

The effect of stress on biophysical characteristics of misfolded protein aggregates in living Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells

B Schnitzer, N Welkenhuysen, MC Leake… - Experimental …, 2022 - Elsevier
Aggregation of misfolded or damaged proteins is often attributed to numerous metabolic and
neurodegenerative disorders. To reveal underlying mechanisms and cellular responses, it …

[HTML][HTML] Network reconstruction and validation of the Snf1/AMPK pathway in baker's yeast based on a comprehensive literature review

T Lubitz, N Welkenhuysen, S Shashkova… - Npj Systems Biology …, 2015 - nature.com
Methods: We performed a network reconstruction of the Snf1 pathway based on a comprehensive
literature review. The network was formalised in the rxncon language, and we used …
